By FRED WERTHHEIMER
As the opening of the Big Ten
tennis season drawsnear, Michi-
gan's squad is faced with the
perennial problem of a champion.
Its perfect record, attained in
makes this year's veteran squad
acapturing last year's Big Tean title,
team to beat. Indiana especi-
will be out to regain the crown
wicn.it had held for three years
prior to Michigan's sweep in 1955.
According to Coach Bill Murphy
the Hoosiers, along with North-
western and Illinois, will afford
the Wolverines their top opposi-
tion. Iowa, led by returning letter-
men James Andrews and Gene
SNadig must be considered as an
outside contender despite the fact
that they compiled an unimpres-
sive 2-5 record last year.
With two inexperienced men
playing at number one and num-
ber two singles, Indiana, at first
glance, does not seem to be a seri-
ous threat. However, Mike Field,
sensational sophomore formerly
ranked number one in Western
Junior singles is expected to be one
of Barry McKay's roughest oppon-
ents this year.
Bill Petrick, also a sophomore,
will play number two singles and
team with Field in the number one
doubles. Add to.this captain Carl
Dentice who has not lost a Big
Ten match in two years and you
have the nucleus of a "possible
champion.''
Northwestern will place most of
their hopes of defeating Michigan
behind Al Kuhn. Big Ten singles.
Tchampionrin 1954, and conqueror
of MacKay in last year's Big Ten
meet, Kuhn, will have to master
Michigan's ]Davis Cup hopeful
again if the Wildcats expect to
finish at the head of the field.
Paul Bennett, Jr. and Keith
Anderson, returning lettermen will
* also handle top positions on the
squad.
The Wolverines' insurmountable
strength and depth however,
should go far in insuring a repeatI
of 1955's victorious ways.
SPRAINS ANKLE IN SCRIMMAGE:
Herrnstein Hurt As Spring Football DrillsProgress
By BRUCE BENNETT
Husky John Herrnstein, the pile-
driving fullback who was the sen-
sation of last fall's freshman squad,
became the Wolverines' first
casualty of the spring season yes-I
terday when he sprained his ankle
during a scrimmage.
Herrnstein, who is rated by
Coach Bennie Oosterbaan as one
of the top candidates for the vital
fullback position, will miss the
next three or four drills, according
to the Michigan mentor,
Oosterbaan's two major experi-
ments-Ron Kramer at right half
and Mike Rotunno at center. Both
saw considerable action at their
new posts and turned in work-
manlike performances.
Kramer gave the coaches a
brief scare when he failed to get
up after a pile up. As it turned
out, he only had the wind knocked
out of him, but it was feared at
first that he might have suffered
a reoccurrence of the rib injury
which sidelined him for two games
last fall.
Oosterbaan said that he plans to
scrimmage the squad every day
from now on, with special empha-j
sis on the passing attack a d'
integrating several players at new
positions.
Bowler's Leave
Michigan's bowling team
leaves today, under the spon-
sorship of the Union, to com-
pete in the Big Ten Tourna-
ment to be held on April 20-21
at Iowa City.
Team members, chosen by an
18 game elimination previous
to Spring Vacation are Bud
Beck, Don Riesman, Irwin
Wagner, Jim Godfrey, and Fred
Gordon.
