Diamond Squad Leaves on Spring Trip To day 0 Y Netmen Head into Season With 31-Match Win Streak Exhibition Slate To Open Tomorrow at Delaware I Going into this season's play, Michigan's tennis team boasts a winning streak of 31 consecutive triumphs in dual meet competition. The netmen will officially open this season's play April 25, against the University of Detroit. The team will, however, see some other action before this meet. Bar- ry MacKay, the squad's first singles star, will travel to San Juan, Puerto Rico, during spring vacation where he will participate in the Caribe Hilton Invitational Tournament. Coach Bill Murphy and the rest of the team will head South to- morrow morning and play Emory, Georgia and Georgia Tech during the recess When MacKay plays in the tournament, he will be faced by the top amateur netters in the world including Sammie Giamal- va and Herb Flam of America and Merv Rose of Australia. Looking ahead to the coming Big Ten court season, Coach Mur- phy stated: "I expect that we'll have the most trouble from Iowa and Illinois." Three challenges stand in the way of enhancing the team's sta- ture throughout the nation. One is winning the Big Ten Meet.. An- other would be sweeping all nine matches of the meet, a feat which hasn't been accomplished since the University of Chicago, with Murphy as a player, did it in 1939. The third, and probably the hardest, would be to take the NCAA title. In tennis history, a Big Ten team has never been able to cop this coveted crown. HEADING SOUTH-Barry MacKay, outstanding Michigan netter, will travel to Puerto Rico during spring recess to compete in the Caribe Hilton tournament. The rest of Coach Bill Murphy's squad leaves tomorrow to engage three Georgia college teams. FIRST HURDLE-When Michigan takes the field tomorrow for the exhibition baseball opener at Delaware, the Wolverines will be facing the Blue Hens' star southpaw, Dick McKelvey, who last year posted a 3-0 record and a 0.71 earned-run average. By JOHN HILLYER In spring, a young man's fancy turns to thoughts of playing base- ball-that is, if he's a member of the Michigan baseball team. The coming week's respite will provide no letup for coach Ray Fisher's crew since it leaves this morning for a nine-game trip down the Eastern seaboard. Pre-season action will get un- der way tomorrow afternoon when the untried Wolverines take on Delaware's Blue Hens at Newark, Del. Limited Outdoor Action Michigan has seen extremely limited outdoor action, even in intra-squad games, having played only two. Sickness and poor weath- er have a, nounted for this. The diamondmen, in fact, are in "as poor conction as I've ever seen them," said Fisher. Many are o1 the way to recovery, but out- fielder-pitcher John Herinstein is still nursing a cold and flu, catch- er Gene Snider just had some bad teeth extracted and outfielder- pitcher Bruce Fox has been out a week with a bad back. The 19-man squad will include: Pitchers Don Poloskey, Bruce Fox, Jim Clark, Glen Girardin, Bob Sealby, John Herrnstein and Dean Finkbeiner; Infielders Jim Vukovich, Gary Starr, Ken Tippery, Ralph Hutchins, Ernie Myers and Steve Boros; Catchers Gene Snyder and Jim Dick- ey; Outfielders Al Sigman, Bill MacPhee and Bob Ptacek; and utility man Bob Stabrylls. , Fisher anticipates the use of all these men in liberal fashion as he attempts to get a good look at all of them, although he emphasizes that "Of course, we'll try to win." Delaware has seen quite a bit of action against other college teams already, as have most of the other schools on the slate, so Fish- er doesn't expect too much. "It takes us a couple of days just to get our outdoor eyes," he points out. The Wolverines have been work- ing constantly in the nets at Yost Field douse, but it obviously isn't the same from any standpoint. In three previous engagements with Delaware, Michigan has lost twice and tied once, having ab- sorbed a 13-3 pasting last year in the spring opener. The Blue Hens will go with their ace lefty. Dick McKelvey, who has a 1-1 won-lost mark so far this season and notched a 3-0 last year and a 0.71 earned-run average. Poloskey To Start Fisher will counter with right- hander Don Poloskey, but his schedule from there on out is un- decided, due to the poor shape his moundsmen are in. Other teams on the schedule are the Quantico Marines (two games), George Washington, Maryland, Navy, Georgetown, Virginia and Washington and Lee. First home game of he Michi- gan slate will be Central Michigan on Wednesday, April 17. ( Debonai D b ' WINT] A "must" fo fashionable ward our Winthrop slip - a new adventur and comfort.

By RUDE DIFAZIO Bennie Oosterbaan may have to search for replacements for Terry Barr, Tom Maentz, and Ron Kramer in the coming spring foot- ball practice but Curly Lambeau will have no such problem. Lambeau will have the Michigan trio playing under him in the Col- lege All-Star Game in Chicago, Aug. 9, against the NFL champion New York Giants. This will be old hat for Barr and Maentz who played in sev- eral college all-star games over the Christmas holidays. But this will be the first chance for Kram- er to work under pro rules and the pro -style of play. An interested observer, of course, will be Coach Lyle Blackburn of the Green Bay Packers who draft- ed Kramer. Originator of Packers Interestingly enough, Lambeau was the originator of the Pack- ers, holding their first franchise in 1922 and coached them until 1950.

With the first practice session for the trio a month after gradua- tion, they have met some difficul- ty finding summer jobs. Returns to Hometown Mike Rotunno, another of last year's stalwarts drafted by Cleve- land, does not have this problem. He is going into the insurance business in his home town of Can- ton, Ohio, immediately after grad- uation. Rotunno expects to spend the summer there until the Browns open their camp the last week in July in Bowling Green, Ohio. As to the position that Paul Brown will have him playing, "probably linebacker" says Ro- tunno. Clem Corona, who signed with Philadelphia expects to tryout for one of the Eagle offensive guard positions.. Corona expresses the idea of all the Wolverines who have signed to play pro ball, "The fundament- als are the same, but the compe- titior is what we will have to ad- just to." As for the summer, he, too, is having difficulty finding work. While some of the boys are plan- ning on working on some of the short summer camp jobs, Corona at present plans to stay in Ann Arbor until the Eagle camp opens LOOk your Best for Easter .

As for Charlie Brooks, who was drafted by the Eagles, he is still undecided if he will sign a con- tract or not. He expects to make his decision by the June, 1 dead- line. Jerry Goebel, drafted by the Giants, has another year of eligi- bility, and is expected to return to the campus. Al Sigman, not drafted by an- NFL club, is reported to have signed a contract with Toronto in the Canadian Big Four. Barr, Maentz and Kramer will leave together for the Evanston, Ill., camp of the College All-Stars which opens July 16. Gridders To Seek Stars' Replacements When Spring PracticeBegins April 15 BASEBALL RETURNS ...spring is here I I By SI COLEMAN Finding replacements for such players as Tom Maentz, Ron Kra- mer, halfback Terry Barr and other starters will pose the main problem when Michigan opens its spring football practice Monday, April 15. Under NCAA rules, 20 practice sessions are permitted. They will conclude Saturday, May 11, with the annual, game-length scrim- mage in Michigan Stadium. This game will be open to the public without charge. Emphasis during the spring ses- sion will be placed on prospective sophomores and reserve players from last season. Twenty-four lettermen will re- turn to the gridiron for the Wol- verines in the fall, but only a rela- tively small number are expected to participate regularly in spring drills. Several lettermen will be per- forming for Coach Ray Fisher's baseball squad. John Herrnstein will be pitching or roaming the outfield, and Gene Snider, center on the football team, will be behind the plate catching. In addition, Bob Ptacek and Jim Dickey, both backfield men, will be substituting the diamond for the gridiron this spring. Jim Pace, regular tailback, will concentrate on sprinting for they track team. Principal problems confronting Coach Bennie Oosterbaan and his staff, including Chalmers "Bump" Elliott, new backfield mentor, will be the development of the right halfback and end positions along with reserve line power. Oosterbaan sizes up the situation by saying, "We can't help but be weaker at the start of the season with the loss of such players as Maentz, Kramer, Brooks, Barr, Al Sigman and Dick Hill and Jim Maddock. "We have a real job ahead of us in most positions if we hope to be in the running next fall." CAMPUSM m SHOP 619 East Liberty Ir.
