I - - I I.- - Wfoo A wv 9 Declare Sigman Ineligible for Big Ten Baseball Ruling Stems from Signing' Of Minor LeagueContract (Continued from Page 1) The Michigan officials, however, were not aware of the Wisconsin Rapids contract. What prompted this late action by the National Association was still unclear last night. Sigman has been participating in Varsity football and baseball here for the past two years and no one had previously questioned his amateur standing. Athletic Director H. 0. (Fritz) Crisler was cut of town and could not be reached for coma. nt. Sig- man, contated at his horme, had nothing to say. Inopportune Time Sigman's suspension come at an inopportune time for the Wolver- ines, who are currently hanging on to a slim lead in the Big Ten standings and have a vital three- game home and home series with Michigan State coming up this weekend. It is considered quite lucky that the suspension of Sigman didn't come earlier. The senior athlete has been prominent in both base- ball and football. Last fall Sigman was one of the key linemen on the football squad. The husky outfielder was bat- ting .323 in the Conference and had seven runs batted in through last weekend's play. Fisher indi- cated that he will use sophomore Ralph Hutchings in right field this weekend. The Second Time This is the second time this semester that suspensions have hit a Michigan team late in the sea- son. The Wolverines hockey team lost the service of John Rend all, Wally Maxwell and Mike Buchan- an on the eve of the NCAA tour- nament last March. The hockey suspensions also concerned athletes that had pre- viously signed professional con- tracts. DOUBLE TROUBLE - Bob Mitchell (left) and Al Urbankus, are two big reasons why the Illinois track team could grab a high place in the Big Ten track finals this weekend. Mitchell is highly rated in the 100- and 220-yd. dashes, while Urbankus is the high jump favorite. MICHIGAN HOPES SLIM: Close Race Seen for Tracy Title 'M' Netters Favored For Crown By DON DRESCHER The Michigan net squad will embark for Evanston this after- noon, in hopes of carrying home the honors from the Conference meet to be held there Thursday, Friday and Saturday. The Wolverines' record of 43 consecutive dual meet victories in- cludes a perfect slate in the regu- lar Big Ten competition this sea- son. Iowa looms as the dark horse as far as Michigan is concerned. The Hawkeyes were defeated by Illinois, who in turn were defeated by Michigan, but the Iowans are reported to be strong at several positions. Andrews Favored Foremost in the Iowa attack is 19-year-old sophomore Art An- drews, who is favored to go all the way in the Conference Meet. An- drews was a member of the Junior Davis Cup squad in 1954-55-56 and after winning the 1956 singles title, in addition to playing on the doubles team, he was ranked first in the national junior ratings. In this, his ititial season of Big Ten competition, he has been trounc- ing his opposition with monoton- ous regularity. Another promising singles pros- pect is Illinois' Carl Noble who carried Michigan's Barry MacKay to three sets before losing to the Wolverine star. Gerry Parchute, Indiana's first singles man, also extended MacKay. Michigan's Mark Jaffe should prove to be a strong contender in the meet. During the season he played consistently well against some very capable opponents. Overall Strength Michigan has shown good strength at all positions and is given a good chance to repeat as Big Ten team champions although the Hawkeyes, hungry for their first Conference championship, are expected to provide stiff com- petition. Illinois and Northwest- ern also can prove to be very tough opponents as the Wolver- ines have seen already this season. Sigma Phi Epsilon ran wild yes- terday at Ferry Field in the semi- finals of the A' first place play- offs, as they beat Tau Kappa Epsilon, 5-1. The Sig Eps were a running ball club, as they succeeded in stealing seven bases in the seven inning affair. The highlight of the "go- go" type of game was a double steal, by Otto Gutowsky and Rich Crawford. Cal Atwood came through again for the Sig Ep's, by pitching a sparkling three hitter, and blasting a triple to knock in a run. Tau Delta Phi beat Beta Theta Pi, 14-12, in the second place semi- finals of 'A' softball. Although the Beta's scored seven times in the 1._ ___ Sig Eps, Tau Delts Win I-M Semi-Final Softball Games i i first inning the Tau Delts came back with two sustained assaults capped by a fine clutch pitching performance in the sixth and seven th by Hanley Gurwin to wiri the ballgame. Sigma Nu Loses In a fourth place playoff game, Phi Kappa Tau beat Sigma Nu, 6-3, with Tom Mazenec taking the laurels for the victors. Mazenec belted a grand slam homer in the fifth inning to win the ballgame, and he also pitched a four hitter. In a fourth place playoff game Chi Psi bested Theta Chi, 12-7. In a 'B' softball game, Sigma Phi blasted Lambda Chi Alpha, 21-5. By BOB BOLTON From the predictions of the coaches and on the basis of past performances it looks as though this weekend's track finals at Evanston will be as close or closer than the indoor finals. It is doubtful that from the point of overall team strength the Big Ten has ever been so balanced. f 'M' pn'l d... STEVE UZELAC By RAY BERNREUTER' It seems that Steve Uzelac, Captain of the Michigan golf squad, was practically born to play the game. In the Uzelac family are four uncles who play the game. One of them is Bill Uzelac, who is the pro at Plum Hollow, Detroit. Uzelac, who hails from Detroit, started from the bottom. He cad- died at nearby golf courses, and soon was swinging the clubs him- self. Whenever there was a tourna- ment, Uzelac was sure to be on hand to caddy for the best golfers he could find. "The best way to learn the game is just to watch good golfers who can give you hints," Uzelac said. High School Champion As a senior in high school, Uze- lac won the High School cham- pionsiip for Detroit. In 1953 he also won the Times-Hearst tour- nament for high school players. Ip the summer before entering Michigan as a student, Uzelac met Coach Bert Katzenmeyer, and his first season here he played on the freshman team. For the past three seasons he has played var- sity. Uzelac is an Evans Scholar. Now he is a senior in Business Admin- istration, and he hopes to enter Michigan's Law School. When he was asked to evaluate the Wolverine golf squad, he said, "Man for man it is the best team in the conference." He went on to say that the boys just can't get together. One day one man is good while someone else has a bad score. He compared Michigan's balanced squad to Ohio State's, which has only a few good players and to Purdue's which depends mostly on Joe Campbell. Praises Katzenmeyer "Coach Katzenmeyer is a coach that is not only a good player but also a good instructor," remarked Uzelac. "He can really help you." Uzelac thinks the Wolverine golf course rates well with the rest of the courses in the Big Ten. The course is hard to play early in the spring for two reasons. For one, the wind is usually strong, and two, the ground is soft which doesn't give the ball a good roll. Uzelac has the most trouble on the Michigan course on the third hole. It is 245 yds., par 3. "I get fewer pars on this hole than any other," says Uzelac. He can re- member only twice when he got birdies on the hole. His best score or te Michigan course is a 71. He has gotten two holes-in-one, but neither of them have been in competition. Tournament Conditions Hard Uzelac said that tournament conditions are much harder than regular golfing. He explained that they spend as much as two months getting a course ready for a big tourney. They narrow the fair- ways; they let the roughs grow in; extra sand traps are put near the greens; the pin is moved around where it is difficult to hit. Three teams, indoor titlist Indi- ana, Ohio State and Illinois are all in contention for the crown and while the Buckeyes will prob- ably rule as the "expert's choice" there is little to choose between the three. The Hoosiers have a squad that shows good strength in all but the distance events; Ohio State has Glen Davis, a track team in him- self, and Illinois has three topo men in Bob Mitchell, Bob Dintel- mann and Ail] Urbankis. After these top three squads come Michigan State, Iowa and Michigan, all with good teams but also with irreparable holes. The Spartans, except for quar- ter-miler Dave Lean, have no out- standing stars, the Hawkeyes have power in the discus and distance events but no real capable per- formers between 100 and 880 yds. and the Wolverines have no hurd- lers and no top-notch stars except for Dave Owen. The story of the meet will prob- agly be written in the perform- ances of two men-Ohio State's Davis and Greg Bell of Indiana. Davis could practically win the meet single-handedly for the Buckeyes. At Columbus in March he captured 16 points for the second-place Buckeyes and he could do better this time. He will probably win the 220 low hurdles, place in the highs, place in or win the 100-yd. dash, place in the broadiump, and anchor a very tough mile relay squad. Bell isn't as versatile as his Olympic counterrart but he is vir- tually conceded the broadjump, could take the 100-yd. dash and may take the 220-yd. dash. CARL NOBLE .,..rated darkhorse Yank's Star Is A rres ted For Assault NEW YORK (;)-Hank Bauer, Yankee outfielder, was arrested to- day on a charge of felonious as- sault on complaint of a delicates- sen store operator who charged he was beaten by Bauer in the Copacabana Night Club early last Thursday. The complainant was Edward Jones who in addition to other in- juries charged he suffered a brain concussion. Magistrate Nicholas F. Dalagi, paroled Bauer until his hearing on June 21, which will permit him to travel with the team.
