A The Broncos were the last team to defeat the Wolverines back on May 12, 1954. The netters have Cnce gone unbeaten to amass a re- cord of 35 consecutive dual meet victories. Western, perennially, a strong team ies not fared too well in recent showings against Michigan. 'M' Winners Last Year In lest season's encounter the Wolverine's defeated the Broncos, 9-0. Barry Mac Kay led the netters with an easy victory over West- ern's number one man, Chuck Donnelly, 6-3,,6-1. Not quite so easy a time was had by Michigan's Dick Potter. After losing the first set, 6-0, to Danny Telder, he surged back to edge Telder in the next two sets, 6-4. 6-4. Connelly graduated but Telder will be in action against the Wolv- erines today. Challenge Round Ended 4 The Wolverines finally com- pleted their challenge rounds for this year's team, Tuesday. The completion had been delayed con- siderably, due to the harsh spring weather which forced the squad to play indoors until after vaca- tion: In the final match for the fifth singles position, Jon Erickson, a 6'6" sensational sophomore toppled senior Dale Jensen, 6-3, 6-1. Jensen, who occupied the fifth slot last year will drop down and play the sixth and final starting position. MacKay Still Absent Michigan's first singles star, MacKay, will be absent from to- day's meet. This will shift all the positions up one notch and put sophomore George Korol in the sixth position. Commenting on the numerous absences from practices and meets throughout the pre-season train- ing for varied reasons, Coach Bill Murphy stated that he was anxious to get the team together to see what they look like. Action Returns Here Friday The Big Ten Champions will re- turn home Friday to take on Northwestern in their opening Big Ten Meet. This will take place at 2 p.m. on the Varsity Tennis Courts. MacKay will return to the line- up for this meet. It may well prove to be the toughest battle the squad will have before the Big Ten Meet in Evanston at the end of this month. Closing on this weekend's ac- tion will be Saturday's home meet with Purdue. These contests will offer Michi- gan tennis fans ideal opportunities to view one of the nation's top collegiate tennis squads. JOLTING JAFFE-Mark Jaffe, number three singles man on the Michigan team, will move up to the number two spot against Western Michigan due to the absence of Barry MacKay. Jaffe was edged out of the regular number two spot by Dick Potter Tuesday in the challenge round, 6-3, 3-6, 6-4. Phi Delts, Sig Eps in in I-M By RAY BERNREUTER In an important "A" softball in I-M action, Sigma Phi Epsilon scored a 4-1 victory over Alpha Tau Omega. With the score tied 1-1, the Sig Eps scored twice on a short fly ball to right field. The bases were loaded ane as the man on third broke for the plate, the throw to home got by the catcher allowing a second man to score also. Cal Atwood pitched for the Sig Bps Ernest Richman scored ATO's only run in the first inning after being hit by a pitched ball. Five Runs in Second Phi Delta Theta scored all five of its runs in the second inning to whip Tau Delta Phi 5-2. Among the five runs was a home run by Randy Tarrier. Seven walks and eight runs in the first inning gave Alpha Delta Phi a good lead over Theta Chi. Theta Chi came back though and cut that lead. The final score was 14-13 in favor of AD Phi after a exciting last inning. Larry Weiss pitched a fine one- hitter against Zeta Beta Tau to give Phi Sigma Delta an 8-0 vic- tory. The Phi Sigma Delts gave Weiss a big lead by scoring seven of its runs in the first inning. Ebert Homers Jim Ebert's home run helped Tau Kappa Epsilon beat Trigon 10-3. In another game, Anthony Efremoff homered to lead Chi Phi to an 8-5 triumph over Phi Sigma Kappa. Sigma Alpha Epsilon's Mike Fitch also hit a four bagger to help SAE beat Beta Theta Pi 7-5. Pitcher John Angood homeredI for his own cause as Delta Chi outi played Acacia 15-6. Chi Psi, who had protested af game played earlier this week against Zeta Psi, failed to file an official protest in the required 24 hours and therefore loses to Zeta Psi 10-8. SEASON-LONG RIVALS: Golfers Battle Purdue, Ohio State GENE BAKER DALE LONG ... goes to Pirates ... he moves to Chicago Cubs Pirates Take Part In Four-Player Trade 41- 1 i By AL JONES Revenge will be the keynote when the Michigan golf squad travels to Lafayette, Ind., tomor- row to prepare for Saturday's three-team meet with Purdue and Ohio State. C o a c h Bert Katzenmeyer's Wolverine linksters lost to both of these teams in the quadrangular meet at Columbus, Ohio, last weekend, while all three swamped a weak Indiana squad. Helped along by good weather all week, which has made practice conditions perfect, Katzenmeyer is hoping for a better showing from his golfers this week. Squad Off Form Many of the Wolverines shot far off their best at Columbus, and if they can hit their peak by this weekend, a complete reversal could occur at Lafayette Saturday. One factor which will limit the Wolverines will be the absence of .i two lettermen from the, lineup. First-man John Schubeck will be in Minneapolis for a pre-law exam,! and Stan Kwasiborski will also miss the meet. They will be replaced by two promising sophomores, Pat Keefe and Ray Lovell. Keefe looked very good at the beginning of the sea- son, and shot low rounds on the southern trip. Both played against Detroit, and turned in sound per- formances. Purdue Toughest Team Purdue, which swept the meet at Columbus, downing the other three teams, will be the toughest competition. They will be playing on their home course this week, and it will take top performances by all the Wolverines to upset the Boilermakers. Ohio State, however, could be a different story. They had the advantage of their home course at Columbus, but will be on even terms this Saturday. This weekend's meet stands as the second of a series of four battles between Purdue, Ohio State and Michigan, the teams which appear to be in solid contention for the Big Ten link championship. Purdue won the first round last Indianapolis 1 'Track Opens INDIANAPOLIS A) - Indiana- polis Motor Speedway opened its 30-day practice and racing sea- son yesterday and learned it had failed to slow down the cars by reducing engine sizes. Don Fteeland, gunned a big Kurtis-Kraft around the 21/-mile track at 137.5 miles an hour. weekend, with Ohio State finish- ing second. It appears that the Boilermakers will triumph again this week, unless the Buckeyes or Wolverines turn in exceptionally strong pereformances. The battle this Saturday should be between Ohio State and Michi- gan for the runner-up spot. However, the third meet, at Ann Arbor, on May 11, will give the Wolverines their best chance. They will be playing on their home course, with the team at full strength. Both Purdue and Ohio State will have to be extremely sharp that Saturday if they wish to stay ahead of Katzenmeyer's squad. The finale will come at the Conference meet, of course, when these three squads will have their last, and most important, crack at each other. This meet will come on May 24 and 25 at Iowa City. PITTSBURGH OP)p-First base- man Dale Long, the toast of Pitts- burgh last spring when he broke home run records, Wednesday was traded with outfielder Lee Walls to the Chicago Cubs for first base- man Dee Fondy and Infielder Gene Baker. The straight player deal between the seventh-place Pirates and the last-place Cubs was announced in Brooklyn and Pittsburgh after each Club had lost Wednesday. Pirate Manager Bobby Bragan said, "The big man in the deal for us was Baker." Walls "Good Hitter" Charley Grimm, Chicago vice president, said Walls gives the Cubs "a pretty good hitter, able to play centerfield," and that Long could furnish first base power. Bragan said he would use the 31-year-old Baker at shortstop and would move Dick Groat to third. Frank Thomas and Fondy, he add- ed, will alternate at first. With Baker gone, Chicago man- ager Bob Scheffing said he will shift shortstop Ernie Banks to I third and would try rookie Ed Winceniak at shortstop. Winceniak came to the Cubs from St. Paul where he hit .273 in the American Assn. last year. Long Holds Record Long, who set a major league record last season by homering in eight consecutive games, has failed to hit a home run this year. He is hitting .182 and has been' the target of boos from Pittsburgh fans. Walls, 24, 6-3, 205-pounder, camebup last year and hit .262 for Pittsburgh.' Baker, 31, has a .250 mark this season with 11-for-44. Fondy, 32, has been with the Cubs since 1951 and has a .285 life-time average. I Major League Standings NATIONAL LEAGUE W L Pct.

News Spreads Quickly T he dramatice disclosure at Churchill Downs Wednesday morning spread swiftly around the city, already humming with pre- derby execitement.
