Three fraternity g'ames and four faculty contests comprised the softball schedule which fell victim to the spring rains. In the pro-' fessional fraternity league, the af- fected contests were those between Phi Delta Epsilon and Phi Chi, and the scheduled affair between Tau Epsilon Rho and Phi Alpha Kappa. The only social fraternity game drowned out was the Tau Delta Phi, Theta Delta Chi clash. Tennis matches which will be played at a later date are those between Theta Xi and Phi Sig- ma Kappa, Zeta Beta Tau and Phi Kappa Psi, and Phi Delta Theta and Alpha Epsilon Pi. Standish Evans was credited With a net victory over the Hawaiians by forfeit. Despite the soggy turf, however, three horseshoe matches were played, all in the social fraternity league. Delta Chi defeated Theta Xi, Theta Delta Chi defeated Del- ta Tau Delta, and Sigma Phi Ep- silon turned back Phi Kappa Tau all by the identical score of 2-1. 4> * "?. * . Fourth Place Michigan Nine Opens Series withSpartans By DAVE BAAD Michigan's baseball team, still smarting from the two straight defeats administered by Iowa last Saturday, returns to Big Ten ac- tion today meeting Michigan State in a Ferry Field encounter start- ing at 3:30 p.m. It is the first of a three game series with the Spartans, the con- cluding double-header being play- ed tomorrow at East Lansing. * * .* THE WOLVERINES, jolted from the WesternConference lead as a result of last weekend's double setbackhare at present mired in a fourth place tie with Illinois and Iowa. Wisconsin and North- western, unbeaten in their only two starts, mutually command the top spot. Coach Ray Fisher, shorthand- ed due to Marv Wisniewski's sore arm, is unsure of his pitch- ing choices for the three game set. Jack Corbett, Dick Yirkos- ky and Jack Ritter will likely divide the three assignments. Corbett, most effective of Mich- igan's healthy hurlers, is expected to work the first game on Satur- day. This will enable Fisher to use him in relief in the nightcap if a tight situation arises. * * * ALTHOUGH the team hasn't Jensen Sterling Silver Jewelry is an everlasting gift for your Mother. Pins, Earrings, Bracelets & Charms. JOHN LEIDY 537 East Liberty 0 6779 been hitting too well, especially in the clutch, there will be no changes in the lineup. The only shift may come in the batting or- der, but Fisher will not be certain of the arrangement until just prior to game time. Dick Leach will be behind the plate with Bill Mogk, Gil Sa- buco, Bruce Haynam and Don Eaddy rounding out the infield. Paul Lepley, Frank Howell, and Jack Corbett will compose the outer defense with Bill Billings playing rightfield when Corbett is pitching. After losing its first three Big Ten games, Michigan State's rath- e rerratic pitching staq has braced New Officers The following men were elect- ed officers of the M' Club for the coming year: Gene Knut- son, president; Bob Hurley, vice-president; Dick Yirkosky, treasurer; Brnson Rumsey, secretary. itself and last weekend the Spar- tans received three excellent hurl- ing performances to rack up two triumphs in three starts. * * * THE VICTOSIES, including one over Iowa, 3-2 and another over Minnesota in extra innings by an identical score, moved the Spar- tans out of the cellar into the seventh slot. Bud Erickson, Bob Dang, and Dick Idzikowski are the prob- able Spartan pitching choices for the weekend. Erickson, the most effective of State's pitch- ers thus far, has racked up both of the team's conference deci- sions. The Spartans, holding the dub- ious distinction of bringing up the rear in the Big Ten batting aver- ages, have only one hitter over the .300 mark. Tom Yewcic, well known for his football exploits, is clubbing the ball at a .304 clip. CHAILIE Matthews, first base- man, the only other hitter who even tops the .250 mark, is bat- ting .294. Barring last minute changes, State will line up with Yewcic catching and Matthews, Stan Turner, Wayne Lawrie, and John Zeitler in the infield. The outfield consists of captain Bob Dilday, John Risch and Dan Brown. Although Michigan's seasonal .batting averages aren't too im- pressive, the Wolverines are pok- ing the ball at a .289 clip in Big Ten competition. * * * THREE players are over .400, including Jack Corbett at .412, Bruce Haynam at .409, and Gil The University Golf Course will be closed all day tomorrow, and from 7 a.m. to 10:30 a.m. Sunday, due to the playing of the intramural golf tourna- ment. -Harry Kaseberg Sabuco hitting exactly .400. Bill Mogk with an average of .316 and Bill Billings batting .300 are other Wolverines over the team batting mark. Next Tuesday's game scheduled at Ferry Field with the University of Detroit was called off yester- day. GRUMMAN hipslNuM - CANOIS1#0 BRUCE HAYNAM .409 in conference Spartans Expect Improvement From Experienced Golf Squad By JOHN M. KOVAL With five returning lettermen, the Michigan State linksters, un- der the tutelage of Coach Ben Van Alstyne, are expecting to do much better than their last season's last place finish in the Big Ten Cham- pionships. Captain Carl Mosack leads the field of returning lettermen which also includes Chuck Davenport, Biff Hills, Don Stevens, and Bill Albright. The sole newcomer to the squad is Dave Mancour. IN FIVE MATCHES so far this season the Spartans have won three, tied one, and lost one. In their last encounter the State golf- ers edged a powerful Notre Dame squad, 14-13. The Fighting Irish had been previously unbeaten. In their last two meets the Spartan's Biff Hills has copped the medalist honors. Against Notre Dame, Hills shot a three over par 75 to tie Notre Dame's Tom Matey for the honors, while against the University of De- troit he led the field with a two over par 74. In addition to Hill, Mosack and Albright have also shown definite improvement over last season's play and may cause a lot of trouble to future opponents. However, the Michigan Staters have a long way to go before they can be considered a serious bid for the conference title. * * * IN THEIR ONLY conference meet to date, the Spartan golf squad could do no better than tie the Northwestern Wildcats, a com- parative weak sister in Big Ten golfing circles. Only last Monday the Wildcats were soundly beaten by Coach Bert Katzenmeyer's Wol- verine squad, 24-15. Coach Van Alstyne's golfers in two contests with the University of Detroit Titans have managed to break even. After losing to the Titans in Detroit, the Green and White from East Lansing swamped them in a re- turn match on the Walnut Hills course, the Spartans home stamping grounds. The Spartans next encounter will be a triangular match on their home course against the University of Marquette and the University of Michigan. The Wolverine golf- ers are unbeaten in Big Ten com- petition with five victories under their belt. * * * LAST SEASON, in two matches against the Maize and Blue, the Michigan State squad was soundly trounced in both contests. In the first meet on the Walnut Hills course, Michigan linksman Lowell LeClair garnered the medalist hon- ors as Michigan won, 16-11. Major League Standings AMERICAN LEAGUE W L Pct.

COACH Bill Murphy announced the line-up shift, the first he has made this season, yesterday. Mur- phy hastbeen conducting a chal- lenge tournament among the squad for the past few days. Emerging from the number three position, Mann replaces Pete Paulus in the top spot. It is not yet known whether Paul- us will play in Mann's position or if he is to displace bespec- tacled Dave Mills in the second slot. Maury Pelto, Bob Paley, and Bob Nederlander fill out the Mich- igan singles lineup as in the prev- ious meets, while the doubles pair- ings are also unchanged. NORTHWESTERN, while not possessing an especially strong squad, can boast of three good Due to preparations for the IFC Ball, the Sports Building will not be open this evening for co-recreational activities. -Bob Betzig men in Baumle, Ron Clemes, and Bernie Frank. Baumle, a senior, bowed to Mann in 1952 by a 6-2, 9-7 mar- gin, but has been playing top tennis this season and should be hard to beat. He and Clemes, teaming up for doubles play, racked up the only victory for Wildcats in a match with power- laden Indiana last Saturday. They also defeated the Wolver- ines last year. With the exception of Clemes in the number two singles position, and Frank, a senior, holding down the third slot, the Northwestern squad is not exceptionally strong. Lettermen Don Rondou, Andy Shillinglaw, and Jim Sagebiel fill the remaining openings. * * * ALTHOUGH Indiana trounced the Northwestern team by an 8-1 score, this match is hardly indica- tive of Northwestern's strength since the Hoosiers have been chalking up similar scores against all their opponents, Northwestern was at East Lan- sing yesterday for a warmup tus- sle with the Spartans of Michigan State, another rough customer in Big Ten competition. Michigan's Board in Control of Intercollegiate Athletics has plac- ed a unanimous stamp of approval on the preliminary action of the Big Ten in accepting the invi- tation of the Pacific Coast Con- ference to extend the Rose Bowl agreement for another three years. Athletic Director H. O. "Fritz" Crisler, chairman of the Board, announced the decision, which was reached at a recent meeting of the group. It is the responsi-i bility of the Board to have "full control of all questions pertain- ing to athletics," and the opinioni on the Rose Bowl issue was ex- pressed in line with that respon- sibility.
