TUESDAY, APRIL 21, 1953 THE MICHIGAN DAILY PAGE THREE TUESDAY, APRIL 21, 19~3 PAGE THREE 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.

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: By BOB MARGOLIN 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. f 'i A A t F t DON EADDY *.. offensive star Postponement 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. MAJOR 'LEAGUE BASEBALL Boston 4, Washington 2 Boston 11, Washington 4 (2nd game) Philadelphia 2, New York 1 (NL) Riley' sCapitol Market Open every evening until 1 :00 Sunday until Midnight 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 BATTING AVERAGES AB R II Harrington 4 1 2 Billings 11 2 5 Cline 8 3 3 Eaddy 31 7 9 Sabuco 32 4 8 Leach 29 6 7 Howell 25 5 6 Corbett 25 5 6 Corbett 25 4 6 Haynam 24 6 5 Mogk 35 8 7 Lepley 27 4 4 Ritter 8 0 1 Wisniewski 9 1 1 Fancher 1 0 0 Yirkosky 3 0 0 Pavichevich 7 0 0 2i9 51 64 Pct. .500 .455 .375 .290 .250 .241 .240 .240 .240 .208 .200 .148 .125 .111 .000 .000 .000 .229 Big Moths from little Silkworms GROV N lew!

' FOR AS LOW AS $6250 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!"
