Now in his third year on the squad, Bob Paley has moved up from number five man last year to the important number three slot this spring. Paley is the team's hardest hitter, which tends to make him inconsistent but his good serve and overhead game gained him the spot on the num- her one doubles team with Pete Paulus, THE GLENCOE, Illinois, junior won three out of his four singles matches on the recent Southein tour and took two out of four with teammate Paulus. Hailing from Detroit Central High where he didn't take up the game of tennis until his senior year, Bob Nederlander was the only Michigan man to bring home a singles championship in last year's Big Ten meet. He has since moved up from the sixth position to the fourth with his main strength lying in con- sistent, scrappy play. Nederlander is at his best when the pressure is on. Together with Al Mann he forms a strong number two doubles combination, which has won three out of its four matches, losing only to Tulane. BOB MITCHELL, from Cincin- nati, Ohio, is the most improved man on this year's 'M' squad, and is a welcome surprise to Coach Bill Murphy as the number five play- er. Mitchell is almost exclusively a base-line or back-court man who uses an unorthodox, sweep- ing motion in his shots that gives the ball a great deal of top spin. He has been victorious in all but the Tulane match so far, and is finally playing the consistent game that he is capable of. Last man of the "Bob quartet" is Bob Sassone, who also attended Detroit Central. In fact, he teamed with Nederlander to win the City high school doubles championship in 1951. He now plays third doubles with Mitchell and in the sixth singles slot. Only a sophomore, Sassone is another hard working, competi- tive base-liner. His play in the Southern tour was particularly encouraging, especially in a match clinching win against Loyola, and one of the most promising THE OTHER weaknesses, the Be O the Ray Eliot's defending Big Ten sophomores in the nation. tackles, are being relieved by Rog- football co-champions wind up* er Wolf and Floyd McAfee, both their spring drills May 8 with an AT QUARTERBACK his troubles of whom have shown rather well " iintra-squad regulation game in are being handled by newcomers in spring drills according to Eliot.
