Coach Bert Katzenmeyer's youthful charges, playing without the services of their number one performer, Lowell LeClair, bowled over powerful Purdue and Ohio State among others while bringing, their season's record to 5-2-1. LeClair was unable to leave his job at a Willow Run automobile plant and had to spend the weekend playing the University course. Sophomore Andy Andrews, under league fire for the first time, did a creditable job filling in for the veteran LeClair. His 72-hole total of 321 was fifth best among the six-man Michigan squad. Other 72 hole totals were Bud Stevens-299, Jack Stumpfig-304, Captain Hugh Wright-307, Tad Stanford-310, and Warren Gast-326. Top round was turned in by Stumpfig, who fired a 69 (bad leg and all) on the Evanston links. Next on tap for the Wolverine swingers is a dual meeting with weak Michigan State at East Lansing Saturday. Frosh Golfers Chosen ... SPINNING THE SPORTS WHEEL-Assistant golf coach Rod Gram- beau has chosen a 12-man freshman golf squad on the basis of four rounds of play (one of them in a rainstorm and another while it was snowing) on the University links. Included on the team are Chuck Blackett, Dick Brenner, Milt Converse, Dick DesLauries, Don DeYoung, Ron Dingman, Dick Harrison, Mike May, Pete McCarthy, Bob McMasters, Dick Schacht, and Ray Zanarini. McMasters led the qualifiers with a two-over-par 74 ... . Speaking of freshmen, yearling baseball coach Matt Patanelli has quite a few good prospects out for the diamond sport. The base- ball hopefuls went through their second intra-squad game of the season yesterday. Patanelli labels third baseman Don Benedict and second baseman Frank Ronan as promising youngsters. Southpaw Mark Ferelli has also shown plenty on the mound .... Spring basketball practice winds up this Friday night with an intrasquad game at the Intramural Building. By that time Coach Bill Perigo will/have put the cagers through the Big Ten limit of 20 drills . . . Lon Lund, former Michigan 9-letter man, now clubbing the ball at a better-than .300 pace while patrolling the Detroit Tigers outfield. Lund goes almost exclusively against left-hand pitching. He went three-for-four and batted in two runs as the Tigers scored their fourth win of the season Monday, a 10-8 triumph over the New York Yankees . . . Stunning defeats of Native Dancer on the race track and the Michigan baseball team on a muddy field marked the sports scene last weekend. Observers of the Run for the Roses at Churchill Downs seem to think that the Alf Vanderbilt gray had a darn good excuse for failing to chalk up his twelfth success in a row. A Detroit im- port, Money Broker, bumped the Dancer going around the first turn and later impeded the son of Polynesian in the top of the stretch. Look for the Dancer to show his best form in the Preakness, next event of the Triple Crown .... No Excuses .. . RAY FISHER'S NINE HAD FEW EXCUSES for dropping out of the Big Ten lead. The invading Iowa squad simply outpitched and outhit the Wolverines, who were without the services of Mary Wis- niewski, stellar Detroit left-hander. Wisniewski had to remain on the sidelines with a sore arm. Meanwhile timely Hawkeye hitting and superior fielding (the Corn-staters pulled six double plays in the doubleheader) ruined the Maize and Blue chances of keeping an un- blemished slate. Three-run innings in each contest were enough to defeat route-going hurlers Jack Corbett and Dick Yirkosky ... . Next on the doeut for Michigan's bowling team in its quad- rangular league with Michigan State, Michigan Normal and Wayne is a Saturday afternoon meeting up at East Lansing. The following Saturday the league-leading Wolverine entry will con- clude its season in Detroit . . , . That pretty blond who sits behind the home team dugout at every Michigan baseball game is Mrs. Bill Mogk, wife of the captain, thank you . . .. Why didn't Paul Giel pitch ;against the Maize and Blue team as adver- tised? It seems that Gopher Coach Dick Siebert wanted to use the standout right-hander in both games with Michigan State the following day. Siebert planned to use Giel as a starter in the Spartan opener and as a relief pitcher in the nightcap. As it was the Minnesota wonderboy went all the way in both games, gaining an even split for his efforts . . . . Football practice diehards are raving about the progress of center Dean Ludwig in the spring grid drills. Seems that his former weak- ness of pivot passes has been cleared up, while his blocking and tackling is as crisp as ever .... Freshman tailback Tom Hendricks and quarterback Lou Baldacci have also impressed in the first back- field unit ... Answers to Queries . . .

At the present time the tackle situation is pleasantly clouded with five returning lettermen. These include Art Walker, Jim Balog, Dick Strozewski, Don Ben- nett, and Ron Geyer, plus a num- ber of up-and-coming hopefuls from last year's freshman squad. WALKER NEEDS no introduc- tion to Michigan football fans. He held down the defensive left tackle slot last fall and did an excellent job of holding would-be ground-gainers to a minimum. Thus far this spring Walker has looked very good and figures to be a top contender. Jim Balog occupied the other tackle post and combined with Gene Knutson to give the Wol- verines one of the strongest defensive combinations in the Big Ten last fall on the right side of the line, Both 'Balog and Walker of course face the problem of ad- justing to offensive football, but according to line coach, Jack Blott, they should have no trouble as they have practiced interchangably before. STROZEWSKI, who has been bothered by injuries throughout his career, played primarily as an offensive tackle last fall. The 205 pound senior has the size and speed to become a standout two- way performer if he can escape the injury jinx which has plagued him. Bennett and Geyer are both seasoned performers who saw considerable action as "spot" players last fall, filling in where needed. Both of them have been looking good in the spring ses- sions and should figure strongly in the plans for next year. The guard positions have four returning veterans back. Heading the list are 200 pound Dick Beison and Don Dugger, a comparative lightweight for college guards at 185 pounds. Ron Williams, who saw a lot of action last fall, and Ted Cachey are also returning. *~ * * BOTH BEISON and Dugger have had experience playing both ways and should find no trouble adapting to the new rules. The coaching staff has also been experimenting with Cap- tain Dick O'Shaughnessy at a guard position in the hope of making room for Dean Ludwig at center. Currently, he is hold- ing down one of the guard positions and has been looking very good. Beison, after a year on the de- fensive platoon, moved up to take Any student interested in be- coming a varsity track man- ager should report to Ferry Field any afternoon this week. -Ed Smith over the offensive right guard position last fall and did a good job. On many occasions, more- over, he was forced to go both ways because of a lack of ade- quate relief. * * * DUGGER HAS gotten most of his experience in a defensive role but has shown a willingness to learn this spring and should turn into a top two-way competitor. The red-haired Williams proved an able performer last fall on both offense and defense as he was called on, numerous times, to fill gaps in the Wol- verine forward wall.' At 186 pounds, he possesses the speed needed in the Michigan attack and should prove a valuable as- set to the team. Cachey, with only limited ex- perience, has been looking good in spring sessions. He's a senior, weighing 185 pounds who's ex- pected to give a good account of himself if he's given the chance. * * * Jim McCarty and Will Brown are two freshmen prospects who have been doing a good job this spring and will figure in the plans of the Michigan coaching staff next fall. They both weigh 180 pounds. From all appearances the only problem the Michigan coaching staff has is picking the men. The material is there. 11 1 - II I WE HAVE IMMEDIATE OPENINGS FOR QUALIFIED YOUNG WOMEN And who wouldn't be interested in positions that offer so much. Where else would you find: High starting wages.
