p THURSDAY, APRIL 19, 1956 THE MICHIGAN DAILY PAGE TEE Pitchers Lead Diamondmen to 5-2 Win Over ND I, Indiana Will Threaten '' Net Chanps 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.

The scrimmage was also the first. test under game conditions for fl tops in spring wear Benedict reached first on an error and then stole second. Fox walked, and Tommelein sacrificed the run- ners along with a good bunt.r Tip- pery was intentionally passed, fill- ing the'bases. Boros then forced Benedict at the plate, but in attempting the double play, Notre Dame's catcher threw wide to first allowing Fox to round third and score. Al Sig- man rolled one back to the pitcher for the third out. Fine base-running by Bob Seal- by yielded Michigan's fifth run. Sealby led off the sixth inningl with a double. On the next play, Snider grounded to the third base- man. Ordinarily Sealby would have held the bag, but he outfaked the third sacker and advanced on the latter's throw to first. He was Defense Strong Three errors in a game tends to make the defense appear weak when glancing over the statistics,G but Michigan looked far from poor in the field. Highlighting the field play were three double plays. Tippery to Benedict to Sealby accounted for two of them, and in the third Benedict scooped up a grounder near the bag, stepped on it and fired to first, edging the runner by two steps.
