THURSDAY, APRIL 17, 1958 THE MICHIGAN DAILY M'Nine Trounces Detroit, 1-2, in Home Opener v V Spring Footbd Begin for 104 -Daily--Ian MacNiven ANOTHER SCORE-Wolverine Dave Brown crosses the plate with one of his two runs in Michigan's 11-2 thumping of University of Detroit yesterday. Dickey's Three Hits Spark Powerful Wolverine Attack II By JIM BENAGH Coach Bennie Oosterbaan wasted no time in getting experiments started at his Ferry Field football laboratory yesterday as spring practice opened for' 105 aspiring candidates. Four lettermen and the team's best yearling, Don Deskins, will be given a try at new positions, Oostrebaan reported. Bob Ptacek, Jim Byers, John Spidel and Gordie Morrow are the others whom the coach cited yes- terday for trials at spots other than those they earned letters at last fall. Deskins, a first semester sopho- more, was a tackle during his Marine Corps career and first year at Michigan. Now, with his ability at tackle known, coaches want to look him over at guard, where regulars Larry Faul and Marv Nyren depart by graduation. Changes aren't new for Deskins. Before entering the service, the 240-1b. Jamaica, N. Y., citizen ran from fullback for little Adelphi (N. Y.) College. Safety Valve Coach Bump Elliott hinted that Ptacek's change to quarterback might be a "safety valve" move in case top-seeded Stan Noskin is injured. Ptacek worked out at both quarterback and left half yester- day. Last season he played 204 minutes at halfback, spending the season in Jim Pace's shadow. Actually, the blond Clevelander spent most of his freshman year at quarterback, but was moved to left half after three weeks of spring practice that year. The big junior has completed 16 of 26 passes in his first two years from halfback. A crushing fullback and the star of last year's Homecoming Game with Northwestern, Byers is a junior with a fine linebacking reputation and will try out at center. Move Not Final Line Coach Jack Blott noted that "Jim's defensive work was the main reason for the switch. The move is not final; he will just get a number-one shot at the job." Blott himself was converted from fullback in his undergraduate days at Michigan and went on to become an All American. Spidel, a lanky quarterback who was earlier planned to understudy Noskin, will be given a nod at end. all Workouts 15'M' Hopefuls He played defensive right end during a couple of minutes of last year's Indiana game. The other change will send Gordie Morrow from end to center, his old prep school position at Ann Arbor High. The 215-pounder was drafted by the Los Angeles Rams, but has a year of eligibility left. Works on Fundamentals The team spent most of yes- terday working on fundamentals under the hot spring sun. Only 10 of the 115 who drew uniforms were not on hand. Helping out the coaching staff work with its young linemen were ex-Captain Jim Orwig, Mary Nyren and Dick Heynen, all of whom anchored Michigan's lines in the past few years. Visitors are welcome at practice and Saturday scrimmages, and also to the annual spring game on May 17.

Herrnstein, incidentally, who hit the ball hard all after- noon, but usually at somebody, came dangerously close to a home run in the eighth inning but the centerfielder grabbed it at the 370-ft. mark. Batters Not Partial The Wolverines displayed no partiality with U. of D. pitching. Ed Drabezyk relieved O'Donnell with one gone in the fifth and was promptly greeted with a double into the left field corner b pinch hitter Neil MacDonald "on the first pitch. That inning was good for four more runs. Finishing their most fruitful slugging production of the youth- ful campaign, Michigan rocked Drabczyk for three additional scores in the eighth. Sealby started it with a double into right field, came across on lanky Bill Roman's single, who in turn was home safely on a three- bagger by third baseman Dave Brown, Dickey's third safety of the day then drove in Brown.

Track Performances Impress Coach i By CHUCK KOZOLL Capacity performances by Michigan's sophomore-laden track team at the recent Quantico re-! lays gave Coach Don Canham flashes of hope as the squad bears down in preparation for Saturday's Ohio Relays. "Michigan and Ohio were the two outstanding teams in the meet," noted Coach Canham. He added that this was the team's best show so far this season, with the sprinters and distance men showing the most improvement. Leading the parade for the Wol- verines was the sprint medley team, which sliced two seconds off the previous Quantico mark. "The sprint group did especially well with Pete Parker out of the relay contest, after his injury on Monday," commented Canham. Don Matheson's :49.6 lead-off leg in the sprints was outstand- ing, noted Canham, since he went the distance in the outside lane on the rain-swept Quantico track. Sophomore sprinters Freeman Watkins and Joe Christie's speedy efforts in Virginia were two en- couraging factors along with the 1:53 half-mile by Earl Deardorff. Turning in duplicate times of 1:56 in the half-mile, Bruce Fischer and Robin Varian added strength in the distance depart- ment. "Fischer did his best work this season by clipping two sec- onds from his best previous time," commented Canham. Representing the 1959 track team, freshman Dave Martin was a double star with a fifth place in the 880-y#i. run and a very respectable mile run, bettering the freshman record with a 4:20.9 time. "We'll be expecting a lot from him," noted Michigan's coach. Hurdlers Shine ham's honor roll with excellent work over the high and low hurdles. "Brendan O'Reilly sur- prised us with his showing in the discus along with his consistency in the high jump," added Coach Canham. Tying for first in the collegej group but third in total competi- tion, Mamon Gibson soared 13'6" in the rainy weather along with Stan Lyons, Dick Bowers, and Jim Weaver, all of OSU.
