SATURDAY, AUGUST 16, 1941 THE MICHIGAN D A TLY PAGE EIVE AL ii Michigan's 1941-42 Captains BOB WESTFALL - .. LeRoy Weir Guns For Top Tennis Honors 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. Baseball Team Loses Starters (Continued from Page 1) 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. Michigan Has Thirteen All-American Gridders V V O/a - Whn n . C 00V 00.
