FRIDAY, APRIL 4, 1958 1 RE MICHIGAN DAILY FRIDAY, APRIL 4, 1958 THE MICHIGAN DAILY Baseball, Golf, Track, Tennis Linksters Begin Dixie Tour With Little Victory Hope Teams Head South Wolverine Nine Opens Play Today By CARL RISEMAN Michigan's baseball team will play its first game of the spring trip as it faces Wesleyan Univer- sity at Winter Park, Fla., today. The Wolverines' departed late last night from Willow Run. Coach Ray Fisher has taken 20 players, including 10 pitchers, on the trip. This is the largest con- tingent of pitchers that Fisher has ever taken on a spring trip in his 37 years at Michigan, but the reason is obvious. No Solid Pitchers Fisher hasn't uncovered a solid pitcher on his staff as of yet. Neither John Herrnstein or Dean Finkbeiner, his two returning let- termen, have ever gone nine in- nings in collegiate competition. Outfielder Bob Sealby may take a turn on the mound. In the past the team had never gone as far south as Florida, but this year's team is departing from that tradition as Fisher and as- sistant Coach Matt Patanelli have centered their 10-game spring schedule at the Rollins College Tournament in Winter Park. Traveling Squad The roster is as follows: PITCHERS -- Jim- Bradshaw, Dean Finl~beiner, Larry Hearin, -y Ron Jernigan, Nick Liakonis, Gor- don Rinckey, Al Koch and George Weemhoff; CATCHERS - Jim Dickey and Gene Snider. INFIELDERS - Dave Brown, Bob Kucher, Ernie Myers, Bill Ro- man and Eugene Struczewski. OUTFIELDERS - John Herrn- stein, Bill MacPhee, Bob Sealby, Ralph Hutchins and Bruce Cony- beare. SPRING TRIP April 5 University of Tampa April 4 Wesleyan University April 7 Bradley University April 8 Rollins College April 9 Bradley University April 10 Bradley University Rollins College Rollins College April 12 Bradley University By RUDE DIFAZIO Bert Katzenmeyer, Michigan golf coach, and his six man team, heads south today with an im- mediate future that's very dis- mal, if history is any test. After spending the early part of the' week at Pinehurst Country1 Club near Chapel Hill, N. C., the Wolverine squad of Stan Kwasi- borski, Ray Lovell, Pat Keefe, Chuck Blackett, Dick Bither, and Larry Leach, face the probability of losing the team matches atj Duke, next Thursday, and North Carolina, next Friday. Few Wins What makes defeat so certain? For one thing, Michigan has not1 won a team match on its annual spring tour to North Carolina since 1951. That year they defeated Wake Forest, 17-7.1 In fact, since 1947 when the Wolverines began the trip they have beaten North Carolina once, in 1948, 24-12. They have never dumped Duke. Overall in the ten-year span Michigan has a record of six wins, 23 loses, and one tie. They have1 lost the last 12 matches. Why the poor record? Mainly1 it's due to the differences in the seasons of the southern schools and the Wolverines. North Caro- lina and Duke will both have com- pleted half of their schedules by the time Michigan takes the course against them. The lone tie on the Michigan record was with Wake Forest, 131/2-132/2, in 1949. It was prob- ably one of the best performances, team-wise, for the Wolverines in the series. Top Stars Wake Forest had another rea- son for Michigan's many loses in top performers Arnold Palmer, and Buddy Worsham, brother of Lew, former National Open champion. The previous year Palmer shot a 67, and Worsham a 68 as Wake Forest downed Michigan 211/2-51/2. The year after the tie, Palmer and Worsham and their team- mates again downed Michigan 21%/2-5%. Katzenmeyer's teams have faced two other outstanding golfers down south over the past ten years: Harvie Ward at North 'Carolina in 1949-50, and Mike Souchak at Duke in 1951-52.

Clouding any Wolverine hopes of finishing near the top are three dominating powers - Penn State defending champion; Il- linois, Big Ten titlist; and Iowa, runnerup. in last week's Confer- ence contest. Four Stars Penn State's twin scoring threat of Jay Werner and Lee Cunning- ham pace the eastern school along with speedy rope climber Phil Mul- len and tumbler Dave Dulaney. Mulen topped the field in the Eastern Collegiates with an amazing :03.6 effort while Dula- ney's work on the mat was top in the meet. Pressing the Nittany Lions will be the balanced Illinois squad, headed by Abe Grossfeld, defend- ing high bar titlist, John Davis on the side horse, and Frank Hailand, tumbling. Tough Hawkeyes Iowa with Steffan Carlsson as a free exercise specialist, Bill Buck TRAVEL TO NEW HAVEN: MichigLan Swimmers in AAU Finals e e e 4 working the side horse, and Ted Segura on the still rings will prove to be an annoying group to Penn State. "We're outmanned by the other eastern schools, but I think the team can do better against Big Ten teams than our finish in Iowa City," noted Coach Newt Loken. Pacing the Wolverines in this effort will be Ed Cole, Conference trampoline winner with all- around performers Jim Hayslett, Nino Marion, and Wolf Dozauer providing the majority of Michi- gan's scoring threat. 'M' Depth Trampoline men Chuck Clark- son, Frank Newman and Dick Kimball plus tumbler Bill Skinner and Al Stall, a balanced perform- er, add to Wolverine potential.

Cubs, Giants' Trade Two; -tigers Buy By The Associated Press The San Francisco Giants yes- terday traded outfielder Bobby Thomson to the Chicago Cubs for Bob Speake, a southpaw outfielder and first baseman, and an undis- closed amount of cash. Thomson's main claim to fame was his homer which beat the Dodgers in the 1951 National League championship playoffs. The Detroit Tigers were also active as they bought outfielder Stan Palys from the Cincinnati Redlegs for $20,000. At the same time they sent catcher Charlie Lau, and pitchers Don Lee, Charlie Daniel and Harry Byrd to the minors. Lau, Lee and Daniel were sent to Charleston subject to 24-hour recall, while Byrd was assigned to Birmingham. I Moving east to face the best in amateur swim competition, a cross section of the Wolverine freshman and varsity squad began competi- tion yesterday in the AAU swim finals in the Yale pool.

The coaches will face a challenge unmatched by few conference teams in trying to fill eight posi- tions vacated by graduating sen- lors. Fullback and captain-elect John Herrnstein, and ends Gary Prahst and Walt Johnson are the Wol- verines only returning starters from a team that compiled a 5-3-1 slate in 1957. By NCAA rules, teams are = al- lowed 20 days of practice within a 36 day period. Michigan begins Wednesday, April 16, and closes Venturi Leads Golf Tourney AUGUSTA, Ga.
