Coach Hopes To Equal '41
Record Of 17 Out Of 20;
Six Lettermen Returning
By JIM JACKSON '
Tennis coach LeRoy Weir will en-
ter his fifth season at Michigan with
another championship aggregation.
His 1941 team lost only three
matches out of twenty and won the
Big Ten championship, a record
which Weir hopes to equal in the
coming season. The six out of eight
1941 lettermen who will be back
swinging rackets for another cham-
pionship are Wayne Stille, Lawton
Hammett (co-captains), Jim Porter,
Tom Gamon, Gerald Schaflander,
and Aldon Johnson. To supplement
these stars Weir will have two re-
serve award winners, Jim Bourquin
and Roy Bradley, and several sopho-
mores who may fit into his plans.
Although it is too early to deter-
mine the rankings, he expects every
man to advance at least one position
to fill the loss of last year's number
one player and captain, Jim Tobin.
This would put Hammett in the
number one spot and Porter in num-
ber two.
This fall, Coach Weir will issue a
general call to all students interested
in playing tennis for Michigan, and
practice will be held on the courts
as long as possible. He will cut the
squad to the probable minimum
when they move indoors, where they
will hold work-outs all winter.
The schedule will not be made out
until early in December, but Michi-
'an will probably make its usual
Southern tour during spring vaca-
tion, meeting Virginia, Duke, North
Carolina, Washington & Lee and
V.M.I. Starting the Big Ten season
on their return from this trip, they
will probably meet Ohio State, Chi-
cago, Northwestern, Illinois, Purdue
and Wisconsin. The team will also
olay Michigan State, Notre Dame,
Wayne and Western State. These
plans, however, must be considered
as only tentative.
Good Season
Is Predicted
By Courtright
If too many of Coach Ray Court-
right's boys don't get drafted by next
spring, the Michigan golf team will
do at least as wel as this year when
they won five of six dual meets and
tied for second in the Big Ten.
Expecting five to seven lettermen
back to form a nucleus, and with a
good crew of last year's reserves and
freshmen returning, there's no rea-
son at all why Michigan shouldn't
be a contender for top honors in cl-
legiate golf.
Ben Smith, a junior, should be a
sparkplug for the team next year.
And with Bob Fife, the most im-
proved man on this year's team,
combined with Bill Stuart, Dick Em-
ery, John Winters, Phil Marcellus,
Bill Courtright, Bill Brooks and Bill
Ludolf of the freshman team, Coach
Courtright will have plenty of good
material to work with.
This year's team seemed to do bet-
ter at dual matches rather than the
middle plays. The boys beat Ohio
State twice in dual matches, ad OSU
was high in the National.
Returning reserves, Briand Fish-
burn, Earl Drake, Dick James, Buehl
Macely, Tom Ratcliff, Chandler Sim-
onds and Wayne Wolfe will bolster
the team considerably, and with the
lettermen Cliff James, Dave Osler,
John Bower and Captain-elect John
Leidy, the golf squad will prove an
able match for any and all comers
next spring.

from the freshmen, however, and if
he can show a little more hustle
than Christenson showed, he may
see service.
The first-base fight will be be-
tween Duane Pagel, a reserve last
year, and sophomore Don Boor. Pa-J
gel has seen little action except as a
pinch-hitter, and this should , be a
real struggle. The shortstop job will
go to a sophomore, and the leaders
for the post right now are Don Rob-
inson and Bob Stenberg. Walt Long
and Dick Savage are the other year-
ling infielders, both third basemen.
The third outfield spot will be in
the hands of Bill Cartmill, basket-
ball captain who beat out football
captain Bob Westfall for the reserve
job last year. Bill won his letter last
spring, and should take over Wake-
ield's post in right.
