Field. The Wolverines currently hold fourth place in the Conference while both Illinois and Purdue are breathing down their necks with a 4-4 record. "We've been thin all year, but these weekend games will find us in worse shape than ever," 'said Coach Ray Fisher. Lose Brown Fisher was especially upset by the loss of third baseman Dave Brown, who will miss at least the next three games with a dislocated shoulder. Brown has been hitting at a .403 pace and has fielded ex- tremely well. Al Koch, 1-0 in Conference play, will take to the mound against the Boilermakers Friday hoping to im- prove upon the Wolverines' dismal exhibition of pitching this season. However, their hittihg has held up extremely well, as the Wolver- ines have belted the ball at an overall .309 clip. Jim Dickey leads IMajor League Standings AMERICAN LEAGUE W L Pet.

Purdue started out fast with three straight, Big Ten wins, but has had pitching trouble since then. Either Dave Hull or Gerry Lawlis will probably go against Michigan. "Purdue's pitching is about on a par with oars." said Fisher. "But when we play Illinois, we'll really be up against some top boys." Seniors Frank Schwartz and James Flynn are the stalwarts of the Illini pitching staff. Right behind them is Junior Bob Tedes- co, who has one of the finest curve balls in the conference. Illini Boast Hitters Illinois also boasts of having one of the leading home run hitters in the conference. He is John Jura- sevich who has blasted four round- trippers to tie for the Big Ten lead while slamming .469 to stand third in hitting. The Illini are tied for the league leadership in fielding with Minnesota. John Herrnstein,. who has a conference record of 1-2, will face Illinois in one of Saturday's games. He hopes to be able to regain the strikeout pitch which he seemed to lose against Northwestern. Liakonis Tops Pitchers Nick Liakonis, who now leads the Wolverines in strikeouts with 24, will also work against the Illini. Liakonis has proved to be one of the Wolverine's steadiest pitchers. He has an overall record of 2-1, and stands 3-1 for the season. "If- our pitching comes through, and we stop making the bad mis- takes that have already cost us a great chance for the crown, we should be able to win this week- end," said Fisher. T rkeyC ops Swim Title Turkey captured the Interna- tional Center swim championship yesterday at the Varsity Pool. The victors piled up a total of 35 points in splashing to the crown. China was a close runner-up scoring, 30 points. They were fol- lowed by India with 15 points and the Arab Nations with 11. Richard Han of China was the individual, star as he was vic- torious in two events, the 50-yard and 100-yard freestyle events. He was the only double winner. Sami Shah of the Arab Nations took first place in the fifty-yard backstroke with p time of 38.5 seconds. Risk New Streak in Home Finale Today; Meet Wildcats in Evanston Tomorrow.

The anti-American sentiment in this country, brought to a boiling point during the visit of United States Vice-President Nixon, is not expected to interfere with the Davis Cup matches. Heriberto Andres, president of the Venezuelan Tennis Federation, said he saw no reason for post- poning or transferring the matches to another country.' Ham Richardson, spokesman for the United States team pending the arrival of Perry Jones, non- playing captain, said yesterday the Venezuelan Federation had as- sured him the matches could be held peacefully. The other member of the team along with McKay is Bill Quillian of Seattle. Two singles matches will be played today, the doubles Satur- day and the final singles matches Sunday. By, JIM BENAGH Michigan's dominantly - young football squad will split up tomor- row for the annual Blue-White1 spring game-the climax of a five-+ week talent hunt.+ The game will be held at the Stadium and will begin at 2 p.m. There is no charge for the game and free programs will be avail- able. Predict Large Crowd Athletic publicity director, Les Etter predicted that "possibly 6,000 or 7,000 may see the game, if the weather is right." About 4,000 watched the spectacle last year, when the second team Whites upset the Blues, 25-12, in regula- tion time, but later lost in an "extra period," 31-12. The past could easily repeat it- self with Coach Bennie Ooster- baan forseeing "a hotly contested affair with so many new men." Teams Balanced "The squads will be more evenly balanced than in the past, and we should have a good game," said Backfield Coach Bump Elliot, echoing Oosterbaan's enthusiasm. Coaches devoted yesterday to a close look at freshmen and re- serves, hoping to find a right com- bination to use against the first string Blues. Ptacek Named Quarterback In a late move, Bob Ptacek was named by the coaches as the probable starting quarterback, re- placing injured Stan Noskin. Dar- rell Harper will move into Ptacek's left halfback position. John Spidel and Jim Sytek will back up Ptacek at quarterback. Sytek starred for the Whites in last year's game and was a varsity- killer in two pre-season practice games last fall. Pick Lineup Guard Paul Poulos and end Bob Johnson, reserves last fall, have worked their way into the prob- able lineup. The only freshmen hopeful is Dick Syring, who may share duties with Jim Byers at center. The coaches named the follow- ing as other probable starters for the Blues: Walt Johnson, right end; Willie Smith, right tackle; George Genyk, left tackle; Tony Rio, fullback; and Fred Julian, right half. The Morton Trophy for the most improved player in spring practice will be awarded tomorrow. PIZZA at. the Det Rio If you have tried the rest - try the BEST.

PAK Takes Second Phi Alpha Kappa won the second place professional fraternity championship by trouncing Phi Chi 11-0. Delta Theta Pi edged out. Alpha Chi Sigma 8-7, and thus became third place champions. Psi Omega was forced into over- time by the Law Club, who came from behind to tie the score three all at the end of regulation time. Hit Fluke Homer. Joe Schneider led off in the top of the seventh with what looked like a solid single to left. The ball, however, hit a rock on the first bounce, hopped over a greatly surprised left fielder, and gave Schneider a home run. Schneider's hit opened the gate for the Psi Omega hitters, who up to the seventh inning had been limited to three runs on six hitsj by the Law Club's hurler, Jerry Leipply. A single and a more legitimate home run by Psi Omega's winning pitcher, Bob Dulude, followed Schneider's poke, and before the inning was over, a total of eight runs were scored. "The roof really caved in" said1 Leipply, when he finally retired the side. Pitchers' Battle Surprisingly enough, the game was quite a pitcher's battle until the zany seventh. Psi Omega's starting hurler George Hoaglin was throwing an almost perfect game until he ran into control trouble in the fifth frame. He retired 12 of the 13 batters he faced in the first four innings, six on strike outs. Hoaglin gave up only one hit; the only runner to reach base was on a single to left in the second. Psi Omega's left fielder, however, let the ball roll through his legs giving the lawyers their first run. Hoaglin retired the first batter to face him in the top of the fifth, but then he ran into his control problem. He walked four of the next five Law Club batters, forcing in another lawyer run and bring- ing Bob Dulude to the mound. Dulude walked the first man he faced, but then he settled down, holding the lawyers hitless and scoreless the last innings. FREE .. EOSTARLIG' Honor Top Hitters ST.
