THE MICHIGAN DAILY PAGE T ~E. THE MCHIGA DAIL 1 AAorldm p, Netters Face Netmen Seek 22nd in Row; Oppose. Wayne Tomorrow Detroit To day in oH m Opener By ED SALEML The University of Detroit ten- nis team has never beaten Michi- gan, and Wayne has turned the tables only once. The Wolverines will try to add to these streaks, as well as their 21 straight dual - match record, when they meet Detroit at home today and face Wayne tomorrow on the Tartars' home courts. Today's match with Detroit will begin at 2:15 p.m. on the Varsity courts. It will be the Wolverines' first taste of competition since their Southern trip at the begin- ning of April. Although they have been hamp- ered by poor weather, and ,have not gotten in as much practice as Coach Bill Murphy would have liked, the Wolverines will be fav- ored in each of these matches. Detroit, which lost to Michigan State last Tuesday, 7-2, is led: by two veterans, Earl Clark and Sandy Kaplan, number one and two men respectively. These two led Detroit to a 7-2 victory over Bowling Green in the opening match of the season. Detroit Coach Chet Murphy, brother of Michigan's coach, is fairly optimistic about his team's chances in the Missouri Valley tournament., Those expected to see action, along with Clark and Kaplan, in- clude Dick Wing and Ken Borolo, two lettermen, and newcomer Jerry Walke. For Wayne ; Coach Fred Mul- hauser, this appears to be a year of rebuilding, with only two let- termen returning from last year's fine team that won 11 and lost but five. Charles and Larry Soloman are the only two letter-winners return- ing; however, Don Brown, and Bob Lowrie have had junior varsity ex- ' perience and should help. Brown played in the Michigan match last year and recorded the Tartars' lone victory in their 8-1 loss to the Wolverines. Poor weather has also cut into Wayne's practice schedule but to make matters worse, the team did not take a Southern road trip this year. The Tartars have not beaten Michigan since 1946, while the Wolverines have won six matches in their abbreviated series. fMichigan will have one more tune-up match next week before opening its Big Ten schedule. The Wolverines play Western Michigan here next Wednesday and then host Wisconsin the following week- end. Badminton Champ Geert Keilstrup beat Dick Brown in two straight sets, 15- 4, 15-4, yesterday afternoon at. the: I-M Building to retain the all-campus badminton singles championship. BARRY MACKAY, number one singles player, will lead the Wolverine netmen today in their home opener with the Univer- sity of Detroit. r- Rain HampersI-M Action By DON McGHEE Intramural softball action was greatly hindered yesterday by rain. Only three of the 12 scheduled tilts were played long enough to go on the record as completed games. Six games were postponed, one was forfeited and two were called in the top of the third. Rain was falling when the games began, and never let up for an in- stant. Had it not been for the fact that some games of other weeks had already been canceled and that the playoffs are soon to be held, the games would have un- doubtedly been rescheduled., NATS SURPRISE BOSOX: Yanks Pad Lead, Trip Orioles, 4-2 BALTIMORE ()-A wild throw by shortstop Willie Miranda on a double-play ball opened the gates for two New York runs in the' seventh inning, and the Yankees went on to defeat the Baltimore Oriples, 4-2, last night.

Delta Sigma Phi forfeited its game with Alpha Sigma Phi. Frosh Gymnast Eyes Olympics Freshman Jim Hayslett and Michigan Coach Newt Loken will leave this morning for the United States Olympic gymnastics team tryouts this weekend at University Park, Pa. Hayslett, who is from Indian- apolis, Ind., will be competing against the United States' best competitors in the parallel bars. Loken has been chosen to help judge the trials on the Penn State campus. Sophomore Ed Gagnier will not compete; since, if he is chosen for the Olympics, it would have to be as a representative of his home country, Canada. Baseballers Still Await RealTests By JIM BAAD With the Big Ten opening day Just around the corner, a look back to what Michigan's baseball team has accomplished thus far is pertinent. The Wolverines will face Indiana at Ferry Field tomorrow with six straight victories behind them. Add to this a 5-3 record on the Southern trip and that makes 11 wins in 14 starts. This is impressive, but Coach Ray Fisher does not feel as opti- mistic as the record shows. For one thing, Michigan has not been playing the competition which it will face in the Big Ten, Only against Western Michigan I did Fisher feel that his team was getting the feel of average Con- ference pitching. Coach Bemoans Hitting "And we only got our usual five or six hits off them," commented Fisher in summing up his team's hitting. "We hit two or three in a row to get our runs, but that's all." In expressing this, Fisher is ex- pressing Michigan's hitting so far this season. Averaging about seven hits per game, not high considering the generally inferior grade of pitching faced, the Wolverines have been staging "big" innings, collecting most of their runs in one- or two-frame splurges. Another problem which Fisher faces is pitching. He is unsure of what he has. Don Poloskey and Bill Thurston are figured to be two rather reliable starters, although Thurston was a bit wild in the Western Michigan game. Fisher stated at the beginning of the season that he was looking for another starter who would be fairly dependable. When he came back from the South, he was still looking. Since. then he has ex- perimented with the rest of his staff. Clark's Injury Painful Jim Clark was coming along nicely until he strained his should- er a week ago. He has not been able to throw hard this week and Fisher feels It will be a while longer before he gets the full use of his arm again. Fisher has also tried outfielder Bruce Fox on the mound, and Fox looked quite impressive, holding Wayne to one hit. "Fox is not terribly fast," said Fisher, "but mnany of his pitches come in around the knees, and he never gets flust- ered out there, either. I think he'll do me some good as a pitcher this year." Fisher is wary of predicting his team's chances, as a coach usually is, but six straight victories look pretty good. By BRUCE BENNETT Quarterbacks Jim Van Pelt and Bob Ptacek unlimbered their throwing arms yesterday and foot- ball Coach Bennie Oosterbaan liked what he saw. Working in a steady downpour, both players succeded in finding the range on several shots, with ends Dave Bowers and Walt John- son and halfback Mike Shatusky their primary targets. Long Ones Click Especially pleasing to Ooster- baan was that his passers were hit- ting- on long throws, as well as short passes over the middle. Ex- Aerial Attack Cicks in Grid Practice cept for a few games last year, the Wolverines did not have much success with long passes. With Jim Pace out of action and Terry Barr unable to scrim- mage because of a recent knee operation, veterans John Green- wood, Dave Rentschler and sopho- more Tom Zachary saw consider- able action at left halfback. This situation will enable Oost- running since the drills were de- voted mainly to passing.

Leading to Doc tor of Optometry Degree.- I As an Engineer in the Transmission Section of Bell Telephone Company of Pennsylvania, Richard M. Walsh plans for the future. "Our group's responsibility," says Dick, "is to see that we have sufficient facilities to handle present and future needs. Telephone usage is growing every year, and we keep up with this growth by keeping ahead of. it. "For instance, to meet the increasing demand for communication circuits in our area, we're adding 70,000 new chan- nel miles this year alone,- at a cost of $3,500,000.' Laying new cable will give us 40,000 of those channel miles, and -7-1 netfL-~+t l n n n 1- n number of long distance calls on each pair of wires simultaneously. "Thus, though a cable might have only 300 pairs of wires, we can, with carrier, make it carry over 3000 telephone calls at one time. Using carrier equipment to get extra circuits out of cable-which is expensive to make and lay-is an example of how we engineer to give high-grade service at the lowest possible cost. "Before I graduated from college I had interviews with twenty-eight companies. Out of all these I chose the telephone company because it had the most to offer in the way of interesting work, training and opportunity.
