I'MAY. APRU& 18. 1958 THE MICHIGAN DAILY i a PiflAY APRIL13. 953THE CHGAN AIL Wolverines ost Wane Nine To day AT FERRY FIELD: Michigan Goes. After Eighth Win; Finkbeiner To Be Starting Pitcher Pitching, Hitting Highlight I-M Pro Fraternity Softball By STEVE ROGERS ichigan will be aiming for its eighth victory in ten games of pre- conference play when they face Wayne State University at 3:30 p.m. today at Ferry Field. Dean Finkbeiner will be the starting hurler for the Wolver- ines who will be going after their second home win in as many games., Coach Ray Fisher ishoping that Wayne will offer sterner opposi- tion than did Michigan's last two foes, Western Michigan and the University of' Detroit. The Wol- verines played sparkling ball in beating them 7-2 and 11-2 respec- tively, but neither of these teams are of Big Ten caliber. Challenge for Wayne This game represents a chal- lenge for Wayne, because since the start of the Wayne-Michigan' series in 1941, the Tartars have been able to win only one of 13 contests. Hayslett, Cole Voted Captams Of Gym Team Michigan gymnastics coach Newt Loken announced yesterday that the 1958-59 team will be headed by co-captains. The team voted the double hon- ors to Juniors Jim Hayslett and Ed Cole. Nino Marion, a quickly improving sophomore star, was voted this year's most valuable team member. Hayslett and Cole replace Ed Gagnier, the top gym star in Michigan history, who was .kept from Big Ten and NCAA competi- tion by a bad shoulder injury. Gagnier was voted most valuable the past two seasons, and would have undoubtedly repeated this year if it weren't for his injury. Wayne promises to be tougher this year than they have in the past, however, ap 13 lettermen are back from the 1957 squad, the best since 1949. Leading the Tartar attack are triple letter winners Fred Snow- den and Ron Hertenstein. Herten- stein hit .280 last season to lead all returning players. Michigan is counting on a con- tinuance of its powerful attack to maintain their domination of Wayne. The Wolverines, sparked by Jim Dickey, unleashed 14 hits in walloping Detroit-last Wednes- day. Three for Three Dickey went three for three and scored three runs, while Bob Kucher and Ralph Hutchings each had two safeties in the De- troit contest. At this early stage in the sea- son, Dave Brown, John Herrn- stein, Dickey, and Hutchings are all hitting well over the charmed .300 mark. Pleasing Performance Perhaps the most pleasing per- formance turned in so far, out- side of Herrnstein's no-hitter against Bradley, was sophomore Ron Jernigan's fine relief effort in the Western Michigan game. He held the Bronco's to four hits while posting his second victory of the year. Five pitchers teamed up in the Detroit rout, limiting the Titans to two runs on six hits. Jim Brad- shaw, aided by George Weemhoff, Bob Sealby, Al Koch, and Denny Denhouter gained credit for the win. By BILL ZOLLA - Fine pitching, good hitting, and poor fielding highlighted yester- day's professional fraternity soft-, ball activity at Fery Field. Dick Courtney and Bill Adams collaborated in spinning a one- hitter and Tom Vestevich cracked a three-run homer and a triple as Delta Sigma Delta trounced Tau Epsilon Rho 19-8. Two Homers Leroy Michaels smashed two round-trippers and Ron Fraley hurled the route in Phi Delta Phi's. New I-M Hours The I-M Building will be open during the following hours, effective Monday, Ap- ril 21: Monday through Friday, 8 a.m.-7 p.m.; Saturday, 8 a.m.- 6 p.m. 12-4 victory over Alpha Chi Sig- ma. In a tight pitching duel between Paul Richman of Alpha Omega and Jim Watkins of Nu Sigma Nu, bad fielding again played an im- portant role in Nu Sig's 4-1 win. Each team totaled only four hits, but the victors utilized theirs to the greatest advantage. Dwight Galloway of Phi Rho Sigma hurled his way out of a tight spot in the top half of the final inning to squelch a rally and preserve his team's 6-5 margin over Phi Alpha Delta. Law Club Wins, 15-4 In the final encounter, Brad Glass, Richard Kabaker, and Joe Georgianass knocked home runs to pace the Law Club's 15-4 past- ing of Phi Chi. Jerry Leipply pitched for the winners and was never in trouble. In "B" softball games in the social fraternity circuit, Zeta Beta Tau rolled over Phi Kappa Tau by the top-heavy score of 39-4, in compiling the biggest score of the day. In other games, Phi Del- ta Theta smashed Phi Gamma Delta 27-14, Sigma Alpha Mu beat Sigma Phi Epsilon, 12-9, Al- pha Epsilon Pi defeated Delta Up- silon, 15-4, and Chi Psi won over Beta Theta Pi, 9-5. The game be- tween Delta Tau Delta and Sigma Chi ended in a 10-10 tie in extra innings. Calling All Teams The I-M Department has an- nounced a proposed formulation of a baseball league as part of its expanding sports program. Interested teams are advised to contact Earl Riskey or Jim Clark at the I-M Building. I BOB PTACEK *.new leader JIM DICKEY ... slugging catcher Tracksters Find Foe in Elements n-.- By DICK MINTZ Regardless of weather condi- tions, the Wolverine track team can now be found practicing daily on the cinders of Ferry Field. Coach Canham's theory is once the outdoor season has begun the shelter of the field house should be deserted until the following in- door season. Track meets remain outside rain or shine, so that prac- tice outdoors serves to prepare the harriers fr any and all weather conditions they' might run into during a regular meet. The most recent example of this was at the very opening meet of the season in Quantico, Va., last week. The team turned in an im- pressive performance despite the fact that the weather there made Ann Arbor's climate comparable to Ft. Lauderdale's. Most Important Factor Weather conditions, then, are the most important factor to be considered in making the transi- tion from the indoor to the out- door season. The- cinder track of the field house is kept in ideal condition throughout the indoor season. Runners know the condition of their track and expect it to be kept the same way meet after meet. Not so outdoors. The track sur- face can be muddy and soft or dry and hard depending on the weath- er of the day. The runners ability to adjust to these variable condi- tions is essential to a winning performance. The actual physical construction of the indoor and outdoor tracks differ as well. The indoor course is shorter with naturally more curves to take during a race. It usually has a harder surface of either cinder or boards. Straightaways Longer Outdoors The outdoor track has the longer straightaways and thus favors the long-legged runner who can't jockey for position as well as the small man on the bends of the indoor track. There is also a greater tendency for its surface to cushion the steps of the runner. Events, too, are lengthened out- doors. The 100-yd. dash is sub- stituted for the indoor 60 and the 120-yd. low hurdles replace the 65. The discus throw is also added to the field events. Psychological Effects Leaving the stuffy, cramped con- fines of the field house also has its psychological effects on the run- ner. The crowd is pushed further from the field and the coach also loses the intimacy he had with his team in the restricted area of the field house. The runner also faces a wind barrier or aid, depending on its direction, which he doesn't have to contend with indoors. Then too, because of the greater straight- away ground covered, the running time outside is usually faster. LA To .Draw 90,000 .Fans LOS ANGELES (A) - Anything San Francisco can do Los Angeles figures it can do better, so more than 90,000 fans - an all-time record - are expected to cram into the Coliseum today for the home baseball debut of the trans- planted Dodgers. Thus, with second openers, the so-called national pastime goes truly national, played on a big league scale from the Atlantic Ocean to the Pacific. More Famous for Football The anticipated turnout in Los Angeles' mammoth arena, more famous for football and track events, probably will boost the second round attendance figures beyond the 259,108 of last Tues- day's full-scale debut. At any rate, the swelling base- ball crowds in all areas strike a blow at recession talk and indi- cate the slump has not noticeably affected the sports dollar. The largest baseball crowd on record is the 86,288 which saw the fifth game of the Cleveland-Bos- ton World Series in 1948. The Na- tional League record is 60,747, on hand for a New York Giants- Brooklyn Dodger doubleheader at the Polo Grounds May 31, 1937. Coach Gives 'M' Gridders, By JIM BENAGH There's an old unwritten axiom among Big Ten football players that fighting gridders who love contact get the greatest respect from their teammates. Coach Bennie Oosterbaan gave his squad drills in an effort to find this type of men yesterday as the team Went through heavy body workouts under the contin- uing hot Ann Arbor sun. Ptacek Shines Backs got a rugged test in fighting off blockers in "bull in the ring" under driving Backfield Coach Bump Elliott. Bob Ptacek, the Wolverine quarterback-half- back, shined, and showed possi- bilities of being a fine leader for the young backs. Five Passers Passing drills got a nod from the coaches' for the first time, with Stan Noskin, Ptacek, John Spidel, Jim Sytek and Don Han- nah throwing from the quarter- back position. Hannah, a Gary, Ind., young- ster, is the only freshman hurler in the group. Plays were run for the first time by the team as a whole, as Oos- terbaan prepared for the initial scrimmage scheduled for tomor- row. New Assistants Mike Shatuskey and Jim Da- vies, regulars from last season's eleven, were added to the coach- ing staff as student assistants. Shatusky is a physical education major who plans to go into coach- ing. Visitors at practice included Ron Kramer, Michigan's former All-America end.
