FRIDAY, APRIL 17, 1953 THE MICHIGAN DAILY PAGE THREE I I I M' Linksters Engage OSU, Purdue, Indiana Tomorrow Wolverine Nine Battles Broncos Rain Washes Out Game with Wayne; Yirkosky, Ritter Take Mound Today CHISOX EDGE BROWNS, 1-0: 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. AL HORN .. . Bronco backstop 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- All spring basketball candi- dates please report to the In- tramural Building at 3:00 p.m. on Monday, April 20. --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. By The Associated Press 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. WHITE SOX 1, BROWNS 0 CHICAGO - Billy The Kid Pierce of the Chicago White Sox pitched a one-hitter, but needed Sig Eps, ATO Annex Water Polo Matches Water played the keynote in IM activities yesterday. The first water was the rain that washed out all fraternity and independent softball action sched- uled for the afternoon. These tilts will be played this afternoon at the Ferry Field diamonds. S* * THE OTHER water was in the IM pool where four fraternity wa- ter polo matches were held. A flip of a coin gave Sigma Phi Epsilon a 2-1 win over Sigma Alpha Epsilon and Chi Phi a 3-2 win over Phi Delta Theta, after each game had ended in a dead- lock at the end of regulation time. Don Fugerson's two markers gave ATO its 2-0 margin over DKE. In the final game, Ron Rich- ardson's goal in overtime gave Sigma Chi a 1-0 victory over Sig- ma Nu. WHO WILL BE Bob Young.

The Yanks piled up four runs in the first inning orr three hits, only one of which was of the sol- id variety, a triple to deep right center by Hank Bauer. A pair of walks and a pair of singles which a gift run to beat a two-hitter by 38-year-old Harry Brecheen for .a thrilling 1-0 home opener victory over the St. Louis Browns yesterday. The only run in the scorching duel between Pierce and Brecheen, the Cardinal cast-off making his American League debut, came in the seventh on a walk, sacrifice, error and an outfield fly. The sole St. Louis hit was a solid double to right center in the seventh inning by second baseman Bulletin MONTREAL-(R)-The Mon - treal Canadiens won the Stan- ley Hockey Cup Thursday night when Elmer Lach whipped home a goal in 1:22 of a sud- den death overtime period to give his team a 1-0 triumph over the Boston Bruins. just eluded first baseman Mickey Vernon completed the damage. RED SOX 11, ATHLETICS 6 PHILADELPHIA - The Boston Red Sox, after having their Amer- ican League inaugural delayed twice by snow and wimtry weather, made up for lost time yesterday by pounding four Philadelphia Ath- letics' pitchers for 19 hits and do 11-6 win at Connie Mack Stadi- um. Gus Zernial gave the A's what little consolation was available by slamming his first homer of the season onto the leftfield roof in the fourth inning. PIRATES 14, PHILS 12 PITTSBURGH - Danny O'Con- nell's three run homer in the fifth inning broke up a slugfest and gave the Pittsburgh Pirates a 14-12 home opening victory yesterday, over the Philadelphia Phillies. O'Connell's blast climaxed a 13- run assault in the fourth and fifth innings. Connie Ryan, second sacker for the Phillies, collected six straight hits, two of them doubles, to tie a major league record for one game. CARDINALS 3, CUBS 0 ST. LOUIS - Harvey Haddix held the Chicago Cubs to only four safeties as he handed the Windy City club a 3-0 whitewash in a night game here last night. Enos Slaughter's homer off War- ren Hacker was enough to provide the Cards with the victory. The other National League con- tests scheduled for yesterday were postponed because of rain and cold weather. Rain in New York pre- vented the Dodger, Giant clash while low temperatures forced the postponement of the Milwaukee, Redleg game in Cincinnati.
