PAIL 30, 195 THE MICHIGAN DAILY Y 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. -Daily-Ian MacNiven ASPIRING END CANDIDATE-John Halstead (second from left) gets pointers from Assistant Line Coach Bob Hollway, who once teamed with pro star Lenny Ford as defensive ends on Michigan's great 1947 team.

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.

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- ning plays with the backfield under "Bump" Elliott. Also, the flankers have Oosterbaan, an all-time All America end, for a constant over- ay y in the nning to of the Chi, 4-3. )hi team as Terry c in two en pitch- wvn game base hit. alks and Nu, Zeta -7.

Defenseman MarcelPronovost gained recognition too, being named to the second team. The Montreal Canadiens placed three on the first team; Doug Harvey, Henri Richard and Dickie Moore.' r 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.
