Third-sacker Don Eaddy is the leading Wolverine clouter with .375 followed by first baseman Bill Mogk and center- fielder Frank Howell. The Michigan tennis squad is in for a busy weekend, when it meets Wisconsin here this after- noon at two o'clock and then takes on the Illinois netters tomorrow morning at ten thirty, also at the Ferry Field courts. The Badger squad boasts a three won, two lost record to date. They bowed to Notre Dame, 6-3, and Iowa, 9-0, while taking match- es from Lawrence College, 6-3, Marquette, 9-0, and Purdue, 5-3 (the number three doubles match was not played.) * * * CAPTAIN James Deloye will be starting for Wisconsin in the num- ber one slot, Kenneth Ohm will be in number two, the three and four slots will be filled by Carl Rudelius and Bob Reagan, respec- tively, and William Grunow and Junior O'Neill will be in five and six.'

The Phi Chi's nipped the Law Club, 2-1, behind the two-hit twirling of Ed Sheldon. John Brink sparked the winners to their vital victory with two of his team's four safeties, and added a pair of sensational fielding plays at his shortstop position. In a completely different type ball game Psi Omega throttled Alpha Omega's bid for the title, 14-3. Don Briggs set the losers down with four hits, while teammate Bill Gregory's triple with two men on was the big blow in Psi Omega's wide-open offense.

Coach Bert Katzenmeyer thinks the rest of his team shapes up well for this four-way battle. Senior Dick Evans took advantage of yesterday's break in the weather to tour the front nine in creditable style. Captain Dean Lind and rotund Hugh Wright spent the latter part of the afternoon working on iron shots on the practice green. Blue- books gave John Fraser and Lowell LeClaire the afternoon off. Katzenmeyer announced that tomorrow's 36-hole competition, which represents the first broad-. cast of a golf match in this area, will be scored on the basis of the Nassau System. This system is based on match play, where a total of three points is awarded for each 18 holes. One point goes for the player leading in holes won after nine, another for the same after the second nine, and the third marker is given to the golfer who holds the edge after 18.

The Illinois squad is primar- ily a senior group. Of the six men on the travelling team, five are seniors, with two veterans of last year's Big Ten Meet. Captain Bob Bennorth, number two singles man, is now in his third season for the fighting Illini. Two years ago, as a sophomore, he gained the conference number 6 singles title. Last year, he moved up to the third position, where he lost out in the second round of the final meet. 'HUSKY SENIOR Bob Hoffman, now playing in the number three slot, is the other returning letter- man. Playing at number 4 last season, he won six out of ten matches, but was eliminated in the first round of the Big Ten Meet. The only junior on the squad, Fred Most, is playing in the first slot. Alan Farmerntakes number four, Jack Abrams num- ber five, and Harvey Hartenstein the number six singles positions. The doubles match will pair up Most and Bennorth in the first match, Farmer and Hoffman in the second positions, and Harten- stein and Abrams in the third. The Illini defeated Michigan last year, 5-4, at Illinois, while the Wolverines took the Badgers, 8-1, at Ann Arbor. TheMICHIGAN CREW CUT".. styled to your ndividual features today!! "Where Collegians Meet" The Daseola Barbers Liberty near State E N G I N E By IVAN KAYE (Another in a Series) The prime concern of Coach Bennie Oosterbaan this Spring has been the development of an effi- cient tailback-fullback duo to re- place the graduated Bill Putich- Don Peterson combination. The Michigan mentor, and back- field coach George Ceithmal, have currently been experimenting with Norm Canty, Don Evans, Ted Kress and Joe Krahl at the tail- back spot, and Fred Baer and Dick Balzhiser at the fullback post. CANTY AND BAER were team- mates in the backfield which car- ried Fenwick high school to the championship of Chicago in 1948. Both are extremely hard runners, the kind that keep right on going for yardage after being hit. C ALL ENGINEERS ) We I re Growing I JOIN US " Canty is completely recovered from the head injury which sidelined him last season. The 5 foot 10 inch 170 pounder has shown himself to be a good pass- er and an adequate blocker on reverse plays. Baer, who wore Don Dufek's old number 30 last fall while a mem- ber of the junior varsity, has im- pressed everyone at Ferry Field with his alert, aggressive style of fullback play. * * * DICK BALZHISER, who also played fullback on last year's Jay- vee squad, has delighted grid prac- tice onlookers with his powerful line plunging. A native of Whea-j ton, Illinois, he is an accurate southpaw passer, and is particu- larly effective on sweeps around the left side where he can fake a run and then throw a pass while still on the move. While Baer and Balzhiser have been the chief operatives at the spinner slot, three other tail- backs have alternated with Can- ty at the tailback post. Ted Kress, Don Evans and Joe Krahl are all in serious contention for the position. Kress throws a long and accur- ate pass and is a slashing runner on the off-tackle plays. The off- tackle slant along with the full- back spinner cycle is a "bread and butter" play in Michigan's deceptive single wing attack. Evans and Krahl will be sopho- mores next fall, and as yet have had no experience other than Jay- vee action last season.
