Wolverine Hoop Squad
Opens Spring Sessions
By DICK LEWIS
Head basketball coach Bill Pert-
go and assistant Dave Strack
greeted 12 varsity candidates at
the I-M Building yesterday as the
first of 20 spring cage practices
went into the books.
Three veterans from last year's
squad were among the group that
went through offensive and de-
fensive drills, including a brief
scrimmage.
PAUL GROFFSKY and Ralph
Kauffman cavorted at the for-
wards for the white shirts, Har-
p vey Williams held down the pivot
position, and the freshman duo of
Jim Barron and Tom Jorgenson
played at the guards.
Barron and Jorgenson were
red-hot from all over the court
and Kauffman displayed the
brilliant one-hand shot he used
* so effectively in the season's
finale against Ohio State.
Soccer Team
SWallopsWings
The Wolverine Soccer Club
opened its spring season by de-
feating the Detroit Mercury-
Wings, 5-0, Sunday on the soc-
cer field east of the Michigan
Stadium.
Robin Weerakoon opened the
scoring early in the game as he
converted a cross pass from Al
Levy right in front of the cross-
bars. Weerakoon added another
goal later in the first half.

MISSING from the opening
workout were a host of perform-
ers from the 1952-53 quintet who
are now competing in other spring
sports.
Captain-elect Ray Pavichev-
ich and Don Eaddy have donned
the flannels of Coach Ray Fish-
er's diamond entry, Milt Mead is
high jumping for the track unit,
while Bob Topp, Leo Schlicht
and Ray Kenaga are out for
spring football.
Other missing faces included as-
sistant Coach Matt Patanelli, now
tutoring the freshman baseballers
PERIGO'S plans for the West-
ern Conference limit of 20 work-
outs include daily drills to be top-
ped off by an intra-squad game at
the end of the spring season.
With the lumps of his first
year behind him, Perigo revealed
the eight games that have been
scheduled to compliment the re-j
duced 14-game Big Ten slate.
The top notch non-league oppo-
sition includes two games with
Marquette, and one each with Loy-
ola of Chicago, Butler, Pittsburgh,
Cincinnati, Valparaiso and Wash-
ington of St. Louis.
RUGGED FOES:

The unseasonable snow and low
temparatures that forced Michi-
gan's baseball team indoors yes-
terday didn't prove itself too pop-
ular with Ray Fisher's crew of
athletes.
Astlast weekend's split with
Western Michigan proved, they
need work-and plenty of it-be-
fore they will be ready to open
the defense of their Big Ten title
at Ohio State Friday.

Of. Golf Meet
Irks Links ters
Saturday's scheduled quadrang-
ular golf meet among Michigan,
Purdue, Ohio State, and Indiana
turned out to be a friendly game
of hearts among 24 golfers because
snow visited Columbus.
Although Wolverine Bud Stevens
was low man in the card game, his
triumph could not lessen the dis-
appointment of Michigan's link-
sters, three of whom were to play
in their first Big Ten competi-
tion.
* * *
COACH BERT Katzenmeyer al-
so expressed disappointm6nt that
the three new-comers on his squad,
Stevens, Tad Stanford, and War-
ren Gast, missed much needed ex-
perience.
The hearts tournament was held
in the morning while the players
waited for the snow to stop.
at such promising hurlers as
Bob Carpenter, Garbi Tadian,
Bob Woschitz and Ralph Fag-
ge.
About the only player not suf-
fering . from the enforced layoff
was shortstop Bruce Haynam who
sat out most of the weekend series
with a pulled leg muscle.
His presence was sorely missed
Saturday as Mogk, who moved
over to short from first base, bob-
bled the first three grounders to
come his way. Mogk's replacement
at the initial sack, Ray Paviche-
vich, played flawless ball in the
field, but he went hitless in sev-
en times at bat.
(EDITOR'S NOTE: First in a series
sizing up Michigan's competition in
the 1953 Big Ten pennant chase.)
The Michigan Wolverines could
not have picked a harder way to
open their Big Ten season.
When Ray Fisher's club goes on
the road this weekend to meet
Ohio State at Columbus and Illi-
nois at Champaign, it will come
up against two of the leading con-
tenders for the '1953 Western Con-
ference laurels. Last season, the
Illini went all the way down to
the wire with Michigan and the
two clubs ended up tied for first.
,, * *
THIS YEAR, again blessed with
remarkable depth and finesse in
his hurling corps, Illinois mentor
Lee Eilbracht figures that he has
a good chance to win if he can
plug a couple of holes in his in-
field and outfield.
Southpaw Gerry Smith, who
last year compiled a remarkable
earned run mark of 1.40, while
winning five times without a.
loss in conference competition
returns to pace the staff. Clive
Follmer, famed for his exploits
on a basketball court is another
of Eilbracht's mound depend-
ables.
Follmer yielded only 14 runs in
570/ innings of pitching last year.
Veteran righthander Carl Ahrens,
junior John Sabalaskey, Jim
Schuldt and dependable fireman
CharliedFort are others who are
expected to see action on the hill
for Illinois.
THE LOSS through graduation
of keystone regulars Jerry Baran-
ski and John Davis together with
the first-string outfield unit is ex-
pected to hurt, but Eilbracht has
Top Keglers
The five-man team slated to
bowl for Michigan in the Big
Ten pin tournament here Sat-
urday was selected after a spe-
cial nine-line roll-off held at
the Union Alleys Sunday.
Jack Cross led the qualifiers
with a 1665 series and was fol-
lowed by Chuck Barnhart with
1649, Phil Barad, who totalled
1616, Hal Kiefer at 1545 and
Ted Laitner at 1535.
Nonny Weinstock with a 1530
effort and Bruce Thronton,
who knocked down 1514, are
listed as possible alternates for
the Wolverine entry.
some clever performers who could
fill the breech with a minimum of
damage.
Captain Bruce Frazier, a .345
hitter last year returns to the
catching spot and is expected to
see most of the action behind
the plate. He is capably support-
ed by junior Tom Scott, returnee
Jack Hester and sophomore Pete
Wragg.
Ohio State is another club long,
on pitching talent with hitting on
the uncertain side. Lanky Paul
Ebert one of the finest all-around
athletes to matriculate on the
Columbus campus in many a year
heads the staff.
LAST YEAR Ebert won seven
games and lost none, five of the
wins coming against Big Ten op-
position.
Speedball artist Dick Finn,
southpaw Dave Bechtel and
rookies Will Rutenshroer, Ron
Roland and Dave Masters fill
out an impressive pitching corps.
Elsewhere in his lineup Buckeye
coach Marty Karow is faced with
the problem of using a lot of good
glove men with plenty of speed
and no hitting punch.
ONLY CATCHER Jack Gannon
and infielder Dave Leonhard
showed any sign of power. Gannon
hit a robust .341 last season while
the versatile Leonhard built up a
.324 average.
Karow is hoping that his hurling
strength and speed can bring the
Bucks back into contention in the
Western Conference. Ohio State
slipped badly in 1952 after cop-
ping the crown in 1951.

THE HITTERS especially missedc
the chance to sharpen their bat-a
ting eyes. Only Don Eaddy, who
collected three hits including af
rousing triple, and Bill Billingse
held their own at the plate as the
team batting average slumped to
226. Last year the Wolverines
slugged Big Ten pitching at a .270
clip.
Captain Bill Mogk, left field-
er Paul Lepley, catcher Dick
Leach and utility infielder Ray
Pavichevich all went hitless over
the weekend.
Mogk got exactly one single in
his last 19 trips to the plate while
Lepley's last hit came against the
Quantico Marines April 8. Their
power performances have ebbed to
.200 and .148 respectively.
LACK OF work is also evident
in the pitching department which
suffered from five cancelled games
out of 11 tries.
Jack Ritter twirled seven
scoreless innings against the
Broncos, but he couldn't keep up
the pace in Friday's cold and
was belted out of the game in
the eighth inning. Michigan
lost, 5-1.
Marv Wisniewski, who opened
the next day at Kalamazoo, turned
in a creditable performance.
striking out six men and walking
only two, while holding the
Broncos to two unearned runs in
five innings.
BUT HIS successor, Jack Cor-
bett, didn't have his control and
almost blew a 5-2 lead. He walked
six men, gave up four hits and
two runs inthe final four innings.
The rest of the mound staff
is also in questionable shape.
Portsider Dick Yirkosky has
only been able to get one com-
plete game in this spring, and
the rainy weather has prevented
Fisher from getting a good look

ONCE there was a Biology Professor named Charlie Edwards.
Charlie was a likeable chap, but the strain of marking
exams was a.little too much for him. Finally, one day, he
completely flipped his lid. Crawling on his belly, he informed
startled students and faculty members alike that he was,
indeed, a silkworm!
He hurried to his room, grabbed a spool of silk thread, and
built a huge cocoon around him. Day after day he stayed in
his cocoon, repeating over and over,
"I am a silkworm! I am a silkworm! I am a silkworm!"
The other members of the faculty held a neeting to decide
what was to be done with poor Charlie. "I've got it!", cried
Bob Sutton, a physics instructor, leaping to his feet. He
explained his plan . .. and the other professors agreed. They
hurried down to the Van Heusen dealer and bought a few
Vanispun Sport Shirts.
"Look, Charlie," they said to Professor Edwards. "These
smart new Van Heusen Vanispun Sport Shirts look exactly
like silk. They feel like silk. They're handsomely tailored in
the season's smartest new colors. Yet they cost only $4.95
apiece ... far less than silk sport shirts. So you see, you're
wasting your time being a silkworm!"
Charlie Edwards peered over the top of his cocoon and
examined the good-looking Van Heusen Vanispun Sport Shirt.
"Egad, you're right!", he shouted, leaping out of his cocoon
and flapping his arms wildly. "Now I can turn into a moth
and fly away!"
