Dickey Replaces
Ineligible Snider
By TOM WITECKI
Coach Ray Fisher has named
Jim Dickey to be Michigan's reg-
ular catcher for the remainder of
the *oung Big Ten baseball sea-
son.
Fisher is forced to play Dickey
behind the plate regularly, be-
cause his other catcher, Gene Sni-
der, was ruled ineligible by the
Conference last weekend. Dickey
had played most of the games
this season in right field.
How will this shifting of posi-
tions affect Michigan's winning
ability? "Not too much," said
Fisher, "I had planned to alter-
nate Dickey and Snider at catch-
er anyway."
"However, we will miss Snider's
hitting against lefthand pitchers,"
admitted Fisher. The former
backstop had garnered most of his
hits against port side hurlers.
Jack Mogk, Neil MacDonald
and Bob Sealby will compete for
the right field position vacated
by Dickey. Fisher will probably
alternate the. threesome against
left and right hand pitching, with
two of the three in action when-
ever John Herrnsteinhmoves in
from ceriterfield to pitch.
Speaking of his change in po-
sitions, Dickey said, "I have al-
ways liked catching more than
the outfield." Last season he
played the backstop position al-
Smost exclusively, alternating with
Snider.
This spring he was moved to
right field by Fisher in order to
get both his and Snider's bats in-
to the lineup against right hand
pitchers.
Dickey who batted .368 last year
is among the leading hitters on
the squad again this year. In Sat-
urday's doubleheader a g a i n s t
Michigan State he had five hits
in seven trips to the plate.
Dickey, having junior eligibili-'
ty, has also won two letters play-
ing football. In his sophomore
year of eligibility he played full-
back, but last year line coach Jack
Blott moved him to the center
position and he is expected to re-
turn there next fall. A coincidence
is that Blott played center in his
college days and was also a star
catcher on the baseball team.

Coach Bob Hollway, who once teamed with pro star Lenny Ford as defensive ends on Michigan's

AN 'M' TRADITION:
End Prospects Show Promise
By JIM BENAGH
Good ends just seem to pour
into Ferry Field!
With several young freshmen
flankers beginning to blossom and
a couple of regulars on hand, the
end position is one of the least of
the coaching staff's worries as
football drills head toward the
half-way mark.
Big Scramble
Right end Walt Johnson and
pass catching Gary Prahst are
top-seeded for the starting jobs
after holding down the spots in
1957, but a big scramble is on for
the understudy vacancies.

John Halstead appear to be the
best of the newcomers, with back-
ing from Latvian-born Vic Lanka
and John Galarneault, according
to Assistant Coach Bob Hollway.
The top trio-Kane, Brefeld and
Halstead-were all starters from
Elgin, Ill., Cincinnati, Ohio and
Bay City, Mich., respectively. All
are big, established pass receivers
-a good trait when aerialists like
Stan Noskin and Bob Ptacek are
in the same backfield.
Sophomore Lovell Farris, a re-
serve basketball player, has been
a pleasant surprise.
A rough 6'3" rebounder last
winter, he hasn't played football
since his junior high days. How-
ever, he hauled down two touch-
down passes in the weekend scrim-
j mage.
Newcomers Battle
The newcomers can expect to
find a battle for positions from
reserves Bob Johnson and Dale
Keller. Johnson always has been
a good receiver. Keller didn't get
much of a trial last fall, due to
injuries.
Other than Walt Johnson and
Prahst, the only returning letter-
men at end are Gordie Morrow
and Chuck Teuscher. Morrow has
been shifted to center, while
Teuscher's status is still doubtful
after a recent knee operation.
Tradition Strong
Tradition and coaching are the
two big reasons for the continual
success of Wolverine ends.
seer.
t
Because of the success of stars
like Bennie Oosterbaan, Dick Ri-
fenburg, Lenny Ford, Ron Kramer
and Tom Maentz in the past, high
school ends find Michigan an at-
tractive school.
Then, once here, they work un-
der more coaches than players at
any other position. In the fall,
former "M" captain Matt Patten-
elli serves as end coach. Bob
Hollway, assistant line coach, gets
the chore in the spring.
Oosterbaan Overseer
Lots of time is also spent run-

"Bump" Elliott. Also, the flankers

Kentucky Derby
Favorite
Tim Tam First in Trials
LOUISVILLE (A) -- Kentucky
Derby favorite Tim Tam ma-
neuvered like a football halfback
yesterday at Churchill Downs and
just got through to victory in the
$16,200 Derby Trial Stakes by 'a
neck over Ebony Pearl.
Cut off twice during the running
of the one mile event, final dress
rehearsal for Saturday's $125,000-
added derby, the Calumet Farm
ace got a classy ride by his new
Jockey, Ismael Valenzuela, who
) replaced Tim Tam's regular rider
Willie Hartack. Hartack broke his
leg in a race last Saturday.
Jewel's Reward and Silky Sulli-
van, California's stretch running
colt who has captured the imagi-
nation of the country, are con-
sidered Tim Tam's most prominent
rivals but didn't run in the Trials.
As a rule most stables except for
Calumet Farms prefer to keep
their big guns out of the Trials.
Other owners feel that it is too
soon to run their horses, but Calu-
met Farms consider Churchill
Downs tricky enough to warrant
practice.
Most often the winner of- the
Trials rarely goes on to win the
Derby. The most prominent, win-
ner of the Trials who also won the
Derby was Dark Star who handed
favorite Native Dancer his only
defeat in the 1954 "run for the
roses."
In a sloppy game marked es-
pecially by bad fielding, Alpha
Epsilon Pi scored three runs in the
bottom of the seventh to beat Phi
Epsilon Pi, 17-16. Ben Abramson
rifled a clean single to left to
score teammate Mike Croll with
Alpha Epsilon Pi's winning run.
Gordon Sheill and Bob Jensen
with their strong hitting led Theta
Delta Chi to a one-sided 13-5 win
over Phi Kappa Psi. The winning
pitcher was George Schuur.
