At the end of the first week of Big Ten competition, the Wolver- ines, with a 2-1 record, find them- selves tied with Ohio State for third place. Both teams trail pace- setters Purdue and Indiana by one game. Lose Opener - Michigan's only loss was suf- fered at the hands of Michigan State at East Lansing last Friday. The Spartans whipped .the Wol- verines in their Big Ten opener 4-2. The three game weekend series New Captai with Michigan State may have solved coach Ray Fisher's biggest problem. Before the start of the Spartan series, Fisher did not know whether he had any reliable pitchers on his mound crew. Fisher, however, now feels he may have three dependable start- ers in Nick Liakonis, John Herrn- stein, and Al Koch. Each of these hurlers went the round against the Spartans. Little Support Liakonis allowed the Spartans four runs on eight hits in the Wolverine loss last Friday. The decision probably would have been reversed for the Detroit southpaw if he had received a little hitting support from his teammates. Herrnstein gave up only six scattered hits in posting his win in Saturday's opener. The power- ful lefthander, who lost his shut- out when Frank Palamara hom- ered for State in the ninth, struck out six and walked only three. Koch Pleasing The most pleasing performance, however, was that turned in by sophomore Al Koch in the night- cap of the twin bill. Koch, who limited State to one run on only four hits, displayed excellent con- trol as he walked but one Spartan while fanning six. Koch, like Herrnstein, lost his bid for a shutout in the final inn- ing of the contest. A single by Dick Golden following a hit bats- man and Koch's only free pass produced the Spartan's lone run of the game. Along with these pitchers, Fish- er also plans to see action from Southpaws Bob Sealby, George Weemhoff, and Dean Finkbeiner, as he prepares his team for their next game, a home affair with Ohio State this Friday. Patanelli Goes Under Knife This Morning Matt Patanelli, end coach and assistant baseball coach at Michi- gan, underwent surgery this morn- ing at University Hospital. Ray Fisher, baseball coach, an- nounced that Jim Clark, who is a grad student in physical educa- tion and a star pitcher on last yera's ball team, will handle Pata- nelli's job during his absence. Intestinal Growth Mrs. Patanelli, reached at home, said that her husband was having a growth on his intestine removed, which doctors feared might de- velop into cancer if not cared for. She expected him to remain in the hospital for 10 days. Hospital officials as well as Patanelli refused to release any information on his condition. i By DICK MINTZ "Coaches and competitors alike enjoyed participating in the meet," stated assistant track coach Elmer Swanson in reference to the Michigan Open Track Meet held Saturday at Ferry Field, "so we consider it a big success." Eight colleges represented by 250 athletes took part in what is hoped will be the mid-west's an- nual track carnival. "Homey" Meet "We expect to have close to 600 entries next year," Swanson con- tinued, "and intend to award prizes to the winners to sharpen competition. Of course, the Mich- igan Meet was never intended to be the mid-west's answer to the Penn Relays but it rather a "homey" meet for those athletes whose times don't rate considera- tion in the top flight competition at Penn. Considering the weather condi- tions, though, the times recorded Saturday were excellent." Eeles Landstrom, ineligible this semester, highlighted the after- noon with a record breaking 14'41/" pole vault. The former Ferry Field record set in 1956 at 14'3" was also held by Landstrom. The freshmen, showed them- selves to be the best frosh team ever to represent Michigan. Tony Seth, the yearling from the British Guianas, led the way in setting a Ferry Field record in the 600-yd. run with a 1:16 clock- ing. Freshman Stars Freshman Tom Robinson, buck- ing a strong head wind, neverthe- less turned in a fast 10.0 for the 100-yd. dash, and his 22.5 for the 220-yd. dash marked him a double winner. Another freshman, Dick Cephas followed closely behind Robinson in the 100 and finished second with a 10.4 in the 220-yd. low hurdles. Dave Martin, a yearling with vast potential, finished the two- mile run in 9:36.6 behind Michi- gan grad., Doug Kyle's sizzling 9:13. Les Bird, straining in his final broad jump attempt hit the 23'10%" mark and turned in the fourth freshman win. Stanger Second Pete Stanger, though failing to qualify at the Penn. Relays, re- turned home and placed second to Paul Jones of Eastern Michi- gan in the 120-yd. low hurdles. Jones, no relation to East Michigan's great Hayes Jones v didn't compete, was also a dou winner. Members of the Detroit Tr Club were also impressive, as t won the 440-yd. relay with speedy foursome of Jim Bit Marvin Pettway, Irving Petr and John Telford. Telford s won the 440-yd. dash, edg Michigan's Don Matheson. UP AND OVER-Paul Jones of Eastern Michigan (left), Pete Stanger of Michigan (center), and Mike Kleinhans of Michigan State leap over the second hurdle in the 120-yd. high hurdle race at the Michigan Open Meet here last Saturday. Stanger was nosed out by Jones at the finish, while the Spartan freshman finished fifth behind Western Michigan's Dallas Shoesmith and Michigan's Ron Trowbridge. Phi Kappa Sigma, TKE Win I=M Softball Tilts LARRY MURRAY mat leader Larry Murray was elected cap- tain of the Michigan wrestling team for the 1958-59 season it was a n n o u n ce d yesterday by wrestling coach Cliff Keen. Murray, a Junior who has earned two grappling letters in Michigan uniform, was one of thej most outstanding team members during the dual-meet season this last year, but failed to score in the Big Ten Meet. Keen states that he will be al- most "wholly dependent on this year's freshman squad come next winter." Graduating seniors Max Pearson and Jack Marchel1lo scored all but two of the team's 28 points in the Big Ten finals. Both slugging and pitching duels were the story of yesterday's games played at Ferry Field in the I-M softball league. Two games were played in the 'A' fraternity league with Phi Kappa Sigma defeating Phi Kap- pa Tau, 3-2, and Tau Kappa Ep- silon beating Psi Upsilon, 12-0. Don Kowalski knocked in two runs as Phi Kappa Sigma scored all three of their runs in the first inning, then hung on the rest of the way to win. Tau Kappa Epsilon garnered only six hits while scoring their 12 runs with Psi U's poor fielding being responsible. Psi U's hitting was even worse as Doug Lootens of Tau Kappa Epsilon allowed them but one hit. In one stretch, Lootens retired 18 men in a row. Chicago Wins After trailing 2-1 in the early innings, Chicago House came back to defeat Lloyd in 'A' competition, 7-5. Lon Heath homered for Chi- cago. In 'B' competition, Anderson defeated a stubborn, hard-fight- ing Scott team, 15-14. Frank Mit- chell starred for Anderson getting three hits and reaching base four out of the five times he batted. Slugger Cook Bob Cook of the Adams 'B' team hit three home runs while leading his team to a 6-3 victory over Win- chell, while in 'A' competition, Adams defeated Scott, 11-6, with Ted Robinson being the winning pitcher.

The slightly-built junior cleared the bar at 14'4" and finished in a three-way tie with Stan Lyons of Ohio State and Pete Gray of Penn. Gibson's vault was the sec- ond best ever recorded for a Michigan vaulter. Eeles Land- strom, presently ineligible to com- pete as a Wolverine, holds the mark at 14'6%". Landstrom went to 14'41" at the Michigan Open Meet which was held Saturday at Ferry Field. In Friday's events at Penn's mammoth track carnival, Michi- gan's Geert Keilstrup turned in his best clocking of 9:23.4 which was good for second place in the two-mile run.

PROTECT YOUR TRAVEL FUNDS WITH AMERICAN EXPRESS TRAVELERS CHEQUES -SPENDABLE EVERYWHERE By AL SINAI "The closest we came to losing during our string was a 5-4 tri- umph over Western Michigan a couple of years ago," said Wolver- ine tennis coach Bill Murphy, while speaking of the Wolverine's great record of 45 consecutive wins. "However, you have to consi- der that we never ran up against the good California teams while compilingnour string," he added. Michigan's run of victories started in 1954 as it won its last six matches, continued in 1955, 1956, 1957 with 37 straight wins, and has remained intact thus far this season with the Wolverines winning their first two matches. Coaching the Wolverine team since 1949, Murphy has compiled an amazing overall record of 87-11. However, he thinks that their streak will be ended this year. "We definitely are a dark horse this year, behind Illinois, Iowa, and Northwestern," he stated. Murphy, himself, was a tennis and basketball star at Tilden Technical High School in Chica- go. His phenomenal coaching suc- cess includes two unbeaten years at Chicago high schools. He graduated from the Univer- sity of Chicago with a B.A. in Economics, and also as a full- fledged tennis star. The Chicago team, led by Murphy, won Big Ten Championships in 1937, 1938, and 1939. Among his many titles, Murphy was 1939 Illinois State Champion 320 South State NO 3-412Y Tennis Associations ranked him first in 1938 and 1939.y .... . From 1941-45, Murphy served with the Navy, seeing action in the Iwo Jima and Okinawa cam- paigns. "During this time I never touched a racket," said Murphy. "When I got out I was undecided whether to remain in tennis." . However, after a few years with United Air Lines, and Krim-Co Corporation of Chicago, Murphy decided to return to tennis. "I've never regretted it," Mur- phy is quick to say. "I especially like college coaching because most fellows up here don't need radical changesuin their game, only prac- tice and more practice."
