Tigers Outslugged by Indians, 11-8
Ohio State and Purdue, the
teams to beat for the Big Ten golf
title, along with Indiana, offer the
opposition as the Wolverine link-
sters open their conference cam-
paign with a quadrangular meet
this Saturday on Ohio State's
Scarlet and Grey course in Colum-
bus.
The Michigan linksmen, smart-
ing from two straight defeats on
their southern tour and hampered
by unfavorable weather conditions
here in Ann Arbor, will have to be
in top shape to win their first
meet of the season.
THE BOILERMAKERS from
Purdue, runner-up to Michigan for
the conference title last year, are
currently enjoying a six-game win-
ning streak. Among their triumphs
are a 27-0 rout of Wabash Uni-
versity and a 23-4 shellacking of
the University of Detroit, Michi-
gan's first home opponent.
Coach Sam Voinoff, in his
third year as the Purdue golf
mentor, hopes that this will be
the Boilermaker's year, after
being runner-up for two years
in a row. Sophomore Donald Al-
bert and junior Dick Norton are
the mainstays of the Purdue
squad, both tying for eighth
place in last years Big Ten
finals:
Ohio State, enjoying the advan-
tage of being the home team for
the quadrangular meet, is the
team generally conceded to be the
dark-horse in the conference, cap-
able of running away with the
title. Last season the Buckeyes
dropped their first match against
Michigan bit in their second en-
counter they managed to eke out
a 19%-16% victory over the maize
and blue linksters to even the
r series.
PACED BY Frank Cardi, who
placed third in the race for in-
dividual honors, the Buckeyes
ended in fourth place last season.
Cardi, who is the Ohio State Ama-
teur Champion, is again leading
the Buckeyes this season. In their
last contest the Scarlet and Grey
were 17-10 victors over Ohio Uni-
versity.
Of the three teams facing the
Wolverines this Saturday, In-
diana is regarded as the weak
sister. Under the tutelage of
Coach Owen L. Cochrane, the
Hoosiers managed to cop sixth
place in the conference race in
1952.
The Wolverine squad, a peren-
nial powerhouse on the links, al-
though facing the toughest com-
petition that they may meet
throughout the entire campaign,
are still the team most feared in
the match. Both the Buckeyes and
the Boilermakers would like noth-
ing better than to whip Michigan
and they will have that goal up-
permost in their minds when they
trod out onto the beautiful Scar-
let and Grey course this Saturday.

Choice of Varsity Quarterback
Between McDonald, Baldacci
By DAVE BAAD
Michigan's baseball team, sty-
mied twice by the weather man in
its efforts to open the regular por-
tion of the 1953 season, will try
again this afternoon, meeting the
Western Michigan Broncos in a
Ferry Field engagement starting
at 3:30 p.m.
The Wolverines were scheduled
to play Wayne University in De-
troit yesterday, but the rain which
fell Wednesday put Northwestern
Field, the site of the game, in en
unplayable condition for the con-
test.
THIS MARKED the fifth can-
cellation in eleven scheduled
games for Ray Fisher's nine this
spring. Three of the nine en-
gagements slated for the Southern
trip were rained out and the
scheduled home opener against
Notre Dame Wednesday was also
washed away.
The poor weather has hurt
the Wolverines considerably, es-
pecially the pitching staff which
has had for too little outdoor
work.
In an effort to give as many
of his moundsmen as possible a
test before the Western Confer-
ence season opens a week from to-
day, Fisher will use at least two
pitchers in each of the two games
with Western Michigan this week-
end.
*n* , ,
LEFTlHANDERS, Dick Yirkosky
and Jack Ritter will hurl for Mich-
igan this afternoon. Ritter was to
have been the starting pitcher in
the cancelled home opener Wed-
nesday.
With the vital quarterback spot
vacated by the graduation of big
Ted Topor, the race for varsity
signal-caller appears at this early
juncture to be a two-way affair
between letterman Duncan Mc-
Donald and freshman Lou Bal-
dacci.
While McDonald has been the
subject of a great deal of publici-

--Bill Perigo
ty since his arrival at Ann Arbor,
Baldacci is as yet unknown.
* * *
BALDACCI is from Akron, Ohio,
measures six feet one and weighs
205 pounds. If performance on
last fall's freslhman squad is any
indication, he is an excellent run-
ner, passer and blocker.
The coaching staff, as always,
is maintaining an objective at-
titude about Baldacci, for there
have been many players in the
past who started off in high
gear, and wound up in medioc-
rity.
McDonald has shown steady im-
provement in blocking this spring,
as compared to last fall's practice
performance. He still weighs barely
170 pounds, and that is not the
best weight for a position which
entails some rugged blocking.
The former Flint star remains
the finest passer on the team,
however, and, if the improvement
in blocking continues, he may be
very much in contention for the
starting quarteback position next
fall.
The Broncos, one of the best
baseball schools in the middle-
west, should give the Wolverines
a rugged weekend. Coach Char-
les Maher's club is the defending
Mid-American conference cham-
pion and was the District Four
(Michigan's district) representa-
tive in the NCAA tournament
last year.
Western has eleven men return-
ing from the 1952 club, three of
whom batted over the .300 mark.
Dave Gottschalk, who won sec-
ond team all-American honors, a
year ago, while playing second
base is the ball club's outstanding
star. The second sacker batted .337
last season and bats in the clean-
up slot.
FIVE OTHER letter winners dot
the Bronco lineup, including
catcher Al Horn, left-fielder Al
Nagel, first baseman Ron Jack-
son, shortstop Chuck Brotebeck,
and third baseman Ron Heaviland.
In addition, Bob Urda, Paul
Schartman, Gary Graham and
Juane Emaar have returned
from last season's mound crew.
In four games this spring
against Big Ten competition, the
Kalamazoo school has triumphed
three times in four starts. The
Broncos defeated Ohio State, one
of the Western Conference title
favorites, twice, by scores of 2-1
qnd 4-1.
LAST WEEKEND they split a
two game series with the Iowa
Hawkeyes losing the first 6-5 and
copping the rematch on a bril-
liant pitching performance by
Graham, 2-0.
Coach Fisher will field the same
Wolverine combination that he
intended to start Wednesday, with
the possible exception of installing
Jack Corbett in right field in place
of sophomore Dan Cline.
Cline, who batted .400 on the
Southern trip, will play if a right-
hander starts for Western Michi-
gan. The choice of a portsider will
put Corbett sporting a .244 mark
into the starting berth.

DETROIT-Larry Doby knocked
in five runs, two of them on a
towering 400-foot homer, as the
Cleveland Indians outslugged De-
troit to spoil the Tigers' home
opener, 11-8, yesterday before 25-
253 well-chilled fans at Briggs
Stadium.
Doby drilled his homer off the
rightfield roof in the third-inning,
when the Indians scored six times.
Then, in the sixth, he hammered
across the, tying and winning runs
with a hot single to centerfield
that almost decapitated losing
pitcher Ray Herbert.
Walt Dropo, the Tigers' big first
baseman, tried hardto keep his
club in the game, also knocking
in five runs with a double and a
base-clearing triple.
The Indians' third pitcher, Bob
Hooper, wound up with the vic-
tory, giving up two hits over the
last four innings.

Polo Matches
Water played the keynote in IM

The first water was the rain

uled for the afternoon. These tilts

THE OTHER water was in the

each game had ended in a dead-
lock at the end of regulation time.
Don Fugerson's two markers

Washington Senators missed the
cue and dropped a sloppily played
game to the New York Yankees.

while low temperatures forced the
postponement of the Milwaukee,
