AY, MAY 10, 1958 THE MICHIGAN DAILY PAGFE Al, MAY 10, 1958-T - -- - N D I Badgers Edge '' Nine; Illini Defeat Tennis Ninth Inning Rally Fails To Prevent 5-4 Setback Netters Fall to Illinois, 6-3,T For Second Straight Loss {,; I V Special to The Daily MADISON, Wis. - Michigan's ninth inning rally fell just short yesterday as they dropped a 5-4 decision to the Wisconsin Badgers. The loss was its thir'd in Big Ten play against four wins, and lowered the Wolverines from first place to a third place tie with Ohio State. Friday seems to be a bad day for the team since all three of its losses have occurred on this jinx day. On two previous weekends the Wolverines have come right back from a Friday defeat to win a doubleheader on Saturday. Twin Bill Today Michigan will have a chance to continue this unusual pattern to- day when they meet Northwestern in a twin bill at Evanston. Coach Ray Fisher plan's to 'start Bob bealby and Nick Liakonis against, the Wildcat duo of Rick Wagner and Bob Miller. Trailing 5-3 going into the last inning of yesterday's game, Mich- igan scored once on singles by Dave Brown and John Herrnstein and an infield out by Neil Mc- Donald. However, Herrnstein was left stranded on third with the ty- Statistics v r ing run when Ernie Myers flied otto deep left field to end the contest. Herrnstein, going all the way on the mound for the Wolverines, suffered his second loss of the season. His conference record stands at 1-2. The big lefthander wasn't as fast as usual yesterday, striking out only one compared to last week's total of 11 against Ohio State, but he gave up only seven hits. Two of the Badgers' five runs were of the unearned variety.

George Schmid, a righthander, struck out five Wolverines as he raised his record to 2-1. He also blasted a bases empty homer to aid the Badger cause. The game was a tight affair as the score was tied on three differ- ent occasions. Michigan scored first on a double by Brown, and a single by Herrnstein. But Wis- consin immediately tied the score' in an unusual inning in which they got four of their seven hits, yet scoring only once. Michigan edged out in. front again when Myers singled and Sealby doubled. Wisconsin then took advantage of two Wolverine errors to tie the score and forge ahead for the first time in the game. In the seventh Herrnstein de- livered his homer, a 350-ft. blast over the right field fence, to tie the score for the third time. Schmid Hits One In the bottom half of the inning Schmid countered with his four bagger and George Mallett scored the actual winning run when he walked, stole second and advanced on two successive sacrifice flys. Wiscon~sin, which carried a 2-4 record into the game, played their best game of the season, said Badger coach Art Mansfield.

However, its 47 dual-meet winning streak was broken on Monday in a non-Conference match with Notre Dame. Hoping to re-enter the win Detroit Gets NL Veteran Wehmeier ST. LOUIS (R) - The Detroit Tigers yesterday announced the purchase of veteran National League pitcher Herman Wehmeier from the St. Louis Cardinals for approximately $20,000. The 31-year-old righthander possesses a 91-108 won-loss record after 10 seasons with three Na- tional League teams, Cincinnati, Philadelphia and the Cardinals. Wehmeier posted a 10-7 record last year with St. Louis, but was used sparingly this spring. In the three games which he started he was hit hard, compiling a 13.50 earned run average and being tag- ged with one loss against no vic- tories. In acquiring Wehmeier, the Tigers hope to bolster a sagging pitching staff which has won only. three of its last 12 games. To make room for him, Detroit optioned Mickey McDermott, also a veteran pitcher with 10 seasons in the majors behind him. The Tigers had acquired McDer- mott, a lefthander, from Kansas City in a pre-season trade but had used him 'only as a pinch-hitter this spring. Big Ten Baseball column today, the netmen will host Wisconsin at 2:30 p.m.on the I-M courts. Captain John Harris, Frank Fulton and the doubles team of George Korol and John Wiley registered the only wins . for Michigan. Harris Surprises Surprising t3 e Illini's number two man ,Harris bombarded Al Holtman in straight sets, 6-2, 6-1. The Michigan star displayed steady play, prompting the Illini assistant coach, John Greenleaf, to note, "I doubt that he has hit three balls outside the line all aft- ernoon. In the number five match, Ful- ton came back after losing his first set to whip Illinois' George Gilmore, 4-6, 6-4, 6-2. Eyeing the improving tennis player, Coach Bill Murphy commented, "Ful- ton's game today was especially sound because of his consistent performance." The lone win in doubles play came with heavy work by Korol and Wiley who finally dropped the Illinois duo, 10-8, in the first set, and then worked quickly, tak- ing the second, 6-2. Noble Whips Erickson Illinois' top man made short work of Michigan's Jon Erickson with his ability to pinpoint his shots all over the court. Allowing Erickson only three games in two sets, Carl Noble won his match, 6-1, 6-2. Biggest disappointment of the afternoon was Bob. Sassone's loss to Illinois' Bob Breckenridge, 0-6, 6-4, 6-4. After shutting out his opponent in the first set and hold- ing a 4-0 advantage in the second, Sassone lost both his drive and ac- curacy, dropping the next two sets. Important in this upset was the performance by the Illini's Breck- enridge.who settled down after an erratic first set and placed his shots consistently within the base lines. Bill Vogt's loss to Joe Epkins in straight sets, 6-0, 6-2, added to Illini domination in singles. The doubles team of Harris and Erick- son stood up under the barrage of Noble and Erickson for one set but eventually lost, 8-6, 4-6, 6-0. SUMMARIES Singles Noble (I) def. Erickson (M), 6-1, 6-2.

The first 18-hole round begins at 8 a.m. today and the afternoon round starts at 1 p.m. The Wolverine linksmen hope that the home-course advantage will help change their fortunes against the Buckeyes and Boiler- makers. In triangular matches earlier this season, Michigan was trounced by both teams. Beaten By OST, Purdue Ohio State and Purdue clubbed; the linksmen by identical 28-8 scores at Lafayette. The week be- fore the Buckeyes defeated the Wolverines 27-15, while the Boil- ermakers downed the Maize and Blue 27-15 at Columbus.- Michigan's chances for a double victory or a split today will de- pend heavily on the performances of lettermen Captain Stan Kwasi- borski, Pat Keefe and Ray Lovell, who will play the first three po- sitions. Dick Bither, ,Larry Markman and Chuck Blackett will compete in the fourth, fifth, and sixth po- sitions. Larry Leach and Dave Britigan will be Michigan's "extra men" playing against Purdue. Today's lineup is essentially the same one that Katzenmeyer has used since the Wolverines' last home appearance April 26. Six-Man Team Ohio State is bringing the standard six-man team to com- pete in today's match, but Pur- dlue will have an eight-man squad.. Michigan Coach Bert Katzen- meyer has compensated for this by naming a team consisting of eight men, two of which will com- pete against Purdue exclusively. BOAST 220-LB.

MICHIGAN at Northwestern Indiana at Ohio State Minnesota at Illinois Iowa at Purdue II I1 15 By HAL APPLEBAUM If Spring Drills are any indica- tion of things to come, one thing is certain about next year's Michi- gan team: the light lines which have been characteristic the last two years will be replaced by a line with more weight per man. This type of line will probably mean a change of offensive tactics for Michigan next fall. Light lines lend themselves to the hit-and-run type of attack, while heavy lines usually mean more emphasis will be placed on ball control and power. In the past few years Ohio State has been quite successful with this technique, Center a Critical Spot One of the critical spots in next year's line will be at center. A complete turnover in personnel at this key position has made it the major problem in the eyes of the Wolverine coaching staff. The current number one center is converted fullback Jim Byers, who has been a pleasant surprise so far this spring, but, who has no previous experience in the line. A new challenger for the top spot has emerged in the last two weeks in the person of Dick Syring, 204-lb. high school All-America guard from Bay City. Freshman Coach Wally Weber said of Syring, "He has shown great improvement so far this spring and has definitely made himself a contender for the start- ing berth We switched him from guard to center and he has done an outstanding job acclimating himself to the change. _j UNI-STRUT TONIGHT CALL THIS LOCAL NUMBER "He blocks well and is aggressive on defense. He is a hard worker and we expect a lot from him," Weber said. Backing them up at center 'ill be Bob Wojcik, Gordy Morrow and Jim Dickey. Deskins Bolsters Guards The guards have been bolstered by the addition of Don Deskins, 240-lb. Marine veteran and All- Service selection Deskins, 26 years old, has been suffering from a leg injury recently, but has already shown the coaches enough to merit a starting berth. At the other guard spot will be 230-lb. veteran Gerry Marcin- iak. Backing them up will be Paul Poulos, Dave Palomaki, Alex Cal- lahan and Mike Fillichio. The tackle spots will be handled by Willie Smith, 240-lb. senior, and 200-lb. George Genyk. They will receive help from Jerry Bush- ong, Bill Stine and Lee Hall. Last year's starting ends Gary' Prahst and Walt Johnson will have the aid of three gigantic fresh- men: Gary Kane and Joe Bre- feld, 220-lb.s each, and John Hall- stead, 210-lbs. The starting line will average approximately 220-lbs, while their substitutes should tip the scales at 210 apiece. Last year's first- string line topped the scales at 208, while their subs weighed in at 211. The nine-pound difference per man can make quite a difference when the going gets tough. ......:'' .n ...... .........v:"............ ....'L...c ...........::i:.....::4:.......... .... .................. ........ ...~..r.." . . where there's life .. there's Budweis...L THE COLLEGE OF ARCHITECTURE and DESIGN PRESENTS: Exhibitions Demonstration Sale Movies Speakers Dance Exhibitions Demonstration Sale Movies Speakers Dance A& D OPEN HOUSE May 9 and 10 and UNI-STRUT May 10 -- 8:30-12 Martha Cook Tertnis Courts "AN EXPERIMENTAL DANCE" costume and beard prizes ($1.25 a couple) t :j .:ti lti : 'J:4 :'1 1 .4.

Not content with a mere I or 2 distinct personalities, Whit- taker was split 3 ways. His analyst's greatest problem was in deciding which of the 3 Steve Whittakers should be permitted to survive.

Steve Whittaker II talked to the analyst while covering him with a gun. During one session, as the doctor was starinL7 nast the muzzle of the WAS HE A MAN OR THREE MICE ? was a total bore. One day, the analyst noticed that the label on his sweater read Van Heusen. Which of the 3 Whittakers did the analyst let survive? The answer is: none of them. The wise doctor diagnosed that each of the 3 had only one redeeming feature-each wore one Van Heusen leisure wear garment. So he created a fourth Steve Whittaker. This last had the walking shorts of the first, the shirt of the second, and the sweater of Whittaker the third. He was a paragon of style and common sense, and has been a useful citizen ever since.
