Loss'Poor'
Says Fisher
By JIM BAAD
Baseball coach Ray Fisher didn't
have many optimistic views after
his team suffered its late inning
loss to Western Michigan, 7-5, two
days ago.
"We Just looked like a bad ball
club," he said. "I felt that we
probably could have wonhhad I
left my starter, Marv Wisniewski,
in there, but I didn't want to work
him the whole game, since there
are more important games coming
Fisher said that his other two
pitchers, Don Poloskey and Al
Levy, weren't hit hard, but "those
bloop hits still count." Wisniewski
pitched one-hit, one-run ball for
four innings, and then was re-
lieved by t'oloskey. Levy pitched
the seventh and part of the eighth
inning. Between them, the relief-
ers allowed the six runs which
gave Western Michigan the edge.
Offense Stopped
Offensively, Michigan started
well, but after a big first inning
they came to a dead stop, mostly
because of the efforts of Western
Michigan's hurler Gene Graham.
He limited the Wolverines to only
two hits after his second inning
appearance.
"Graham was about as good as
the pitchers we'll meet in the Con-
ference," Fisher said. "He wasn't
really fast, but he had the neces-
sary control."
As far as Western Michigan's
team as a whole looked, Fisher
figured the Broncos were quite

close to what he will run up
against in the Big Ten. "They
were weak in the infield, but their"
outfield made up for it."
Pitching Weak
Fisher's big question mark right
now seems to center around find-
ing dependable pitchers. He sums
up his staff with "Wisniewski is
tops, but I can't pitch him every
day." From this point he just
doesn't know.
Michigan's five errors Tuesday
didn't bother Fisher too much,
although he thought that they
were all committed on easy chan-
ces. "We still have a top defen-
sive ball club," he said.
Wet grounds limited practice to
pitchers and catchers yesterday,
but if weather permits, a lot of
hitting drill is scheduled for this
afternoon's session as the Wol-
verines prepare for their first
Western Conference clash Friday
with Northwestern at Ferry Field.

MeMasters Leads Scoring
While Team Appears Weak
By NATE GREENE
Despite a poor team showing,
Michigan's golfers defeated Michi-
gan State College 25/-10%, in a
dual meet on the University Golf
Course yesterday.
The order of the day was heavy
rain and high winds followed by
even higher scores, Bob McMas-
ters being low man for the day
with an afternoon round of 75,
matched by Jim Raymond of
MSC.
In an attempt to allow the en-
tire team to play, Coach Bert
Katzenmeyer started Fred Mick-
low and Skip MacMichaels at the
number one and two positions in
the morning and replaced them in
the afternoon round with McMas-
ters and John Schubeck.
Rain Comes Down
The skies were threatening as
the squads teed off and rain be-
gan to fall as they headed down
the second fairway. It turned into
a steady downpour and continued
throughout the first eighteen
holes.
The greens and fairways, as a'
result, were slow, making scoring1
difficult. Henry Loeb was the only
man on either team to break 80
on the first tour as he carded a 77.
After lunch, the Wolverine line-
up was juggled slightly. Besides
the addition of MacMasters and
Schubeck, Loeb was moved to
number four position and Andy1
Andrews was dropped into the
number five slot.
Afternoon Scores Improve
The scores were better in the1
afternoon as the rains let up and
the temperature climbed into the!
fifties. Sub-80 scores were record-
ed by Schubeck, Ken Meyers, Uze-
lac, each firing a 76, and Jim Sul-
livan, State's number two man,
who added a 78 to his early round
of 80, making him low man for
the Spartans with 158.
Uzelac's 81-76-157 game him
the low score among the four men
who played the full 36 holes.
Coach Katzenmeyer expressed
disappointment in the scores and
felt that despite the poor playing

Indiana, 'M'
Major Foes
For Net Title
(Editor's Note: This is the first of a
series reviewing Michigan's Big Ten
tennis foes. Today's article deals with
Indiana.)
By ALAN EISENBERG
Coach Dale Lewis and his Indi-
ana net squad will again be the
major roadblock on Michigan's
path to a Western Conference ten-
nis championship.
Whether the Hoosiers, cham-
pions for the last three years, will
be able to thwart the hopes of the
Wolverines depends on how effec-
tively a combination of veterans
and sophomores will mesh to-
gether,
Stars Gone
Gone are Duane Gomer, a two-
time Big Ten champion; Bob Bar-
ker, the Big Ten number four
singles champ last season, and
Dick Bennett, who lost only one
dual match at number five last
season and was undefeated in con-
ference duel play.
Only returnees of that all-win-
ning period are Captain John
Hironimus, Bob Martin, Carl Den-
tice, and Paul Kramer. Hironimus,
a senior, is possessor of probably
the gaudiest record of any Hoosier
player. In the last three years-
he was permitted to compete as a
freshman-he has held or shared
five Big Ten titles.
The team captain's list of
crowns include number four sin-
gles and second doubles his first
year, number two singles and three
doubles in 1953, and number one
doubles as a junior. Overall, he
has won 46 while losing seven.
Hironimus' strength is in a well-
grounded all-around game.
Retriever, Not Power Hitter
Martin and Hironimus will fight
it out for the top spot and team
together in the number one dou-
bles position. Martin, a rangy 6'3",
is not a power hitter. More on the
retriever style, he has an uncanny
knack of getting the ball over
the net. Martin has captured or
shared in four Big Ten titles. He
has lost only three dual matches
in as many years.
Dentice, who had a sensational
undefeated season as a sophomore,
and captured the number six sin-
gles crown, and Kramer, who saw
duty as a reserve, will be of great
help to Lewis.
Gaps will force reliance on soph-
omores, the foremost candidates
among them being Geral Par-
chute, George Fryman and Elam
Huddleston.
Two other immediate headaches
plague the Hoosiers. One is the
establishing of consistency in the
singles and breaking in two new
doubles teams. Also threatening
is the likely upgrading of Hironi-
mus and Martin. Both have proved
effective at lower rankings, but
moving into a more demanding
classification may curb that ef-
fectiveness.
Ohio Relays To Test 'M'
Track Team Saturday
By DAVE GREY
Nearly 400 track entrants will
grace the scene of the Ohio Relays
at Columbus Saturday in what
proves to be theMidwest's biggest
outdoor meet so far this spring.
The annual Ohio State Stadium
meet will serve to tune-up teams
for the fast-approaching Penn and
Drake Relays. For Michigan, it will
be the first taste of full-scale com-
petition outdoors.
As acting head coach Elmer
Swanson, who is taking over while
Don Canham is in Europe, states,
"We'll run in everything . . . but
the hop, skip, and jump event."
