{Sc.ard
. . . by Dick Lewis
NATIVE DANCERS have been known to bump and grind on'the is-
land of Java in Indonesia, in colorful bistros in New York's Green-
wich Village, and even at sideshows in the Ringling Brothers touring
circus. In sports circles though, there's one Native Dancer that's
caught the fancy of most turf fans all over the nation. This one's a
smooth-running, unbeaten three-year-old colt, currently rated as the
top choice in Saturday's Kentucky Derby.
When the Dancer; as he is affectionately called by the two dollar
bettors, strides to the post at colorful Churchill Downs for the 79th
renewal of the Derby, he'll have behind him a string of eleven suc-
cesses, including nine in a row as a two-year-old. During the 1952
campaign, Alf Vanderbilt's homebred amassed earnings of $230,495,
setting a new all-time high for a juvenile. Easy victories in the Youth-
ful, Flash, Saratoga Special, Grand Union Hotel, Hopeful, Belmont
Futurity and East View Stakes gained the oddly-named colt recog-
nition as Horse of the Year in two of racing's three major polls.
Following a warmup score in the $30,000 Gotham Stakes a
4 couple of weeks back, Native Dancer ran his string to eleven with
a breezing 41 length verdict over five rivals in the $100,000
Wood Memorial at Jamaica in New York City. That convincing
effort made the Dancer, even money prospect in the Derby Future
Book, a probable odds-on favorite when the strains of "My Old
Kentucky Home" waft among the thousands who make the an-
nual pilgrimage to the Louisville track.
Despite a forecast of rain by some Yankee weatherman, prospects
are for a crowd of better than 100,000 lovers of the sport to jam the
Blue Grass country and view first-hand the mile and a quarter
grind. Those who can't make it will be stationed at television sets
(millions of 'em) and movie theaters around the country.

Triple Crown Hopeful...
WHY ALL THIS CONFUSION over a horse race? The boys in the
know will tell you that this is the first leg on the three-year-old
championship, the other two legs being the Preakness and Belmont
Stakes. Few horses in turf history have completed the coveted triple,
but Vanderbilt's color-bearer looks like the best bet in years and thus
is getting the attention of even the most conservative critics.

and Balshizer gave the Wolverines
an effective running attack in
1952, their play in spring practice
is being given a careful scrutiniz-
ing.
ALL THREE are excellent of-
fensive performers, but, with the
exception of Branoff, have no col-
lege defensive experience. Bran-
off saw a few minutes of action
early in the year at defensive half-
back.
Kress and Balshizer played
both waysin high school and
the coaching staff hopes that
spring practice will be a suffi-
cient refresher course to bring
their defensive play up to Big
Ten competition standards.
Branoff is also being primed for
regular punting duties. His kick-
ing in practice has been impres-
sive, and if the two platoon rule
hadn't been in effect last fall he
might have been Michigan's first
string kicker at that time.
IF THESE three experienced let-'
termen fail to live up to expecta-
tions defensively, there are a num-
ber of second line men ready to-
step into first string jobs.'

Unimpressed by Tuesday's 8-1
thrashing of the University of De-
troit, coach Bill Murphy sends his
Wolverines against the West Mich-
igan Broncos at Kalamazoo this
afternoon with an eye to future
matches.
In the number one singles match
Pete Paulus will try to conquer his
nervousness and Western Michi-
gan's stellar Jack Vredevelt.
Any student interested in

ing club please contact me at
phone number 31713 during the
day.
--Ed Meback
Vredevelt is one of the three re-
turning Bronco veterans of last
year's Mid-American champion-
ship team.
THE TWO, three, four and five
slots are to be filled by Dave Mills,
Al Mann, Maury Pelto and Bob
Paley for Michigan and Dick Hen-
dershott, George Carpenter, Bob

derlander in the number six slot
for the Wolverines and his op-
ponent is Bill Nixon of the Bron-
cos. In the doubles department
Russel will team with Bob Dun-
bar, while Dave Mills and Al
Mann also join forces.
Rounding out the Wolverine
doubles teams is the combination
of Bob Paley and Pete Paulus.
Murphy is shifting his doubles
teams around in an effort to find
the most successful matchings.
BOTH SQUADS have been ham-
pered this spring by the lack of
suitable weather for practicing.
Since the Broncos completed their
spring trip they have not played
one match due to the cold and
rain. Michigan too, has been hin-
dered but not to such a degree as
Western Michigan.
Inexperience has also been a
worry of the Bronco's coach. With
only three of last year's squad
back, he is faced with a young and
un-tried team.
With its first conference meet
with Wisconsin coming on Friday,
coach Murphy is relying heavily on
this meet to give him an inkling of
the line-up he will use.

Kappa Sigma hammered out
a 7-2 win over Phi Kappa Tau.
Don Mitchell pitched a four hit-
ter for the Kappa Sigs' third
straight victory. Chi Psi, with
Stu Schiefield pitching a two
hitter, won over Alpha Sigma
Phi, 6-0.
With Bob Halleen hitting two
homers and Jim Rupert adding a
triple and a double, Triangle
pounded out a 17-2 win over the
hapless Chi Phis.
IN THE professional fraternity

iresnman from Aron, uno,
and letterman Duncan McDon-
ald are the leading prospects
for the vital position in Michi-
gan's single wing attack.
With almost three weeks of
!practice completed, Baldacci's
sharp blocking and savage tackl-
ing have given him the inside
track for front line duty. His
tackling skill is especially import-
ant this year because of the aboli-

apparently is in line for a defen-
sive line backer's assignment.
McDONALD, always a top notch
passer, has seen limited action
during the past two years, pri-
marily in late-game spot perform-
ances. His inability to block well
enough to fulfill the tough block-
ing assignments in the single wing
have hampered his efforts to be-
come a regular.
His blocking was improving
this spring until he suffered a
shoulder injury a few days ago,
while throwing a block on
Michigan end Gene Knutson.
Despite the fact Kress, Branoff

on Tuesday jogged around the track in a leisurely two-mile workout.
Winfrey plans to blow out the horse six furlongs today in a final
prep for the big event. As in all of his previous successes, jockey Eric
Guerin, one of the most under-rated riders in the country, will be in
the irons.
Lost in all the fanfare for the Dancer are 13 other equine
standouts currently listed as starters under the standard 126
pound impost. Foremost of these is Mrs. Gordon Guiberson's Cor-
respondent, a fleet West Coast invader who has the added advan-
tage of steady Eddie Arcaro in the saddle. Arcaro has run off with
the Derby on five different occasions, more than any other
jockey, his last winner being Hill Gail in the 78th renewal. With
Arcaro up a week ago, Correspondent defeated five other Derby
eligibles in Keeneland's Blue Grass Stakes, clipping a fifth of a
second off Coaltown's track record in the process.
Royal Bay Gem, Chesapeake Stakes winner at Maryland earlier
this year, closed fast in Tuesday's Derby Trial but finished fourth
to a rank outsider, Cain Hoy Stable's Dark Star. That took a little
glitter off Royal Bay Gem, but at the same time vaulted Dark Star
near the top of the list of contenders. Dark Star's triumph over
the mile Derby Trial route was only 3/5 of a second off the track
record established by Hill Gail last year, and gave the New York im-
port $11,650 of the gross purse.

Greentree Entry ...
GREENTREE STABLE'S STRAIGHT FACE was a fading five
lengths behind Correspondent in the Blue Grass; however the
Count Fleet gelding has a good many supporters on the basis of three
wins in seven starts last year, good enough to pull down $72,146 in
purses. His best racing has come in Kentucky, where he annexed
1952 versions of the Breeders' Futurity at Keeneland and the Ken-
tucky Jockey Club Stakes at Churchill Downs.
The dark bay colt Invigorator, a Saxon Stable entry, also showed
promise in 1952 with scores in the Babylon and Cowdin at Aqueduct,
as did Mrs. Ada Rice's Mr. Paradise, a $105,860 winner, mostly on!
the basis of his lone stakes score in the Washington Park Futurity.
Other probable starters include Money Broker, Spy Defense,
Ace Destroyer, Hit the Spot, Curragh King, and Ram O'War.
Vanderbilt's Social Outcast, a stablemate to the Dancer and fourth
in the Wood Memorial, might also reach the post.
That's the lineup for this year's Derby, to be run the day after
tomorrow in the heart of the mint julep country. Long-striding Na-
tive Dancer remains the choice. How would you pick them?
