WEDNESDAY, JUNE 30, 1943 TIH E MICHIGAN DAILY PAGE THREE Smith and Fife Bow Out in Match Play at NCAA Goli [Meet 0 Stephens, Rejected by, Army, Tied by Hockett Loses to Bulldog Lone Maize and) Eliminated by I Lose in Quarter-Finals Individual Title; Kuntz CHICAGO, June 29.-(P)-Vernon Stephens, the American League's leading hitter all season, finally has been overtaken-on the day he was rejected for military service. The St. Louis Browns' high-flying shortstop took a 16-point dip in a week and today is tied with Oris Hockett, the Cleveland Indians' lit- tle outfielder, for the league leader- ship. Both are hitting .342 through Sunday's games. In the first averages compiled this spring Stephens was far ahead with a meteoric .448 mark. On successive weeks he slid to .392 and then into the .360's, popped up momentarily to .376 and finally lapsed to his current .342. During the last seven days, Hockett brought his average up two points to effect the deadlock. Wakefield Third, Higgins Fourth Behind this pair of clouters came Dick Wakefield of Detroit, .311; Pinky Higgins of Detroit, 310; Roger Cramer of Detroit, .298. Bob John- son of Washington, .291; Pete Fox of Boston, .286; Luke Appling of Chi- cago, .281; Chet Laabs of St. Louis, .280, and Roy Cullenbine of Cleve- land, .277. The current minimum of 150 times at bat needed for entry into the se- lect top ten hit ers caused three prominent .300-class hitters to miss out in the rankings. Guy Curtright of the Chicago White Sox is batting .368 after 144 appearanices at the plate, Buddy Rosar of Cleveland has a .301 average in 136 times up, and Jimmy Grant of the White Sox is an even .300 with 140 times at bat. Wakefield Also Leads in Hits Along specialty row, Wakefield is leading in total hits with 77; Ken Keltner of Cleveland and Laabs are tied in doubles with 16 each; Johnny Lindell of New York and Johnson lead in triples with five each; Char- ley Keller of New York in home runs with 10, Stephens in runs batted in with 41, and George Case of Wash- ington, as usual, in stolen bases with 20. Milo Candini of Washington, with seven victories and no defeats, has the league's outstanding pitching record, while Hal Newhouser of the Detroit Tigers continues in front in strikeouts with 70 opposing batters the victims of his third-strike pitch- es. Special To The Daily1 CHICAGO, June 29.-Michigan'sl hopes for gaining individual honors in this year's NCAA golf tournament were dashed this afternoon as the Wolverines' two remaining hopes, Ben Smith and Bof Fife, were de- feated in the quarter-finals in the matches at Olympia Fields. Smith was finally eliminated 2 and 1 by Bill Roden, red-headed, long- shooting Marine from Texas. The co- Big Ten champion, who is president of the National Collegiate Golfers Association, was beaten by a succes- sion of fine recoveries exploded by Roden. Kuntz Beats Fife Richard Kuntz gained the semi- finals of the top bracket by defeating Robert Fife of Michigan, 5 and 3. Eli Walter Beckjord then came through in the lower bracket, beat- ing out James Stewart of Northwest- ern at the 18th hole, one up. To gain tomorrow afternoon's 18 hole finals, they must dispose of a pair of Marines-Roden and Wally Ulrich of Carleton College, each of whom will report for duty with the Marines at the conclusion of the tournament. Both Roden and Ulrich indicated today they were plenty tough. Ulrich, unheralded 21 year old stu- dent from Carleton College at North- l l BOB FIFE . . .

O the Michigan State College field._--- S -- --- - - --e- - Despite the service, which has1 snatched up many of the important coaches in the Michigan athleticv training machine, the Michigant coaching staff is still one of the mosts versatile in the country. An enviable reputation for charac-f ter building and good sportsmanships has been set up by this group of men under Director of Athletics Herberti 0. "Fritz" Crisler. Was Head Football Coach Although Crisler is a comparative newcomer in the role of Athletic Dir- ector, having served in this capacity only during the past two years, he is a well known figure in Michigan ath- letics, since he has been head football3 coach since 1938. With a record of winning perform- ances behind him at Chicago, Minne- sota and Princeton in the past four years he has turned out teams which have stood up well against the stiff Big Ten competition, featuring such players as Tom Harmon and Bob Westfall. Bout Between La Motta And McCoy Called Off DETROIT, June 29.- ()- State Athletic Commissioner John J. Het- tche announced today cancellation of the 10-round bout scheduled for Friday at Olympia Stadium between Jolting Jake La Motta of New York and Young Kid McCoy of Detroit and Mitchell Field, N.Y. Hettche said McCoy's military leave had been cancelled and that matchmaker Nick Londes was un- able to find a suitable substitute. The match previously had one post- ponement when La Motta's eyes were cut in a victory over Fritzie Zivic of Pittsburgh. Martineau Coaches Backfield Backfield coach Earl Martineau, who came here from Princeton with Crisler, acts as his assistant. Mar- tineau was All-American at Minne- sota in 1923. In that same year he was also awarded the Western Con- ference medal for proficiency in scholarship and athletics. Clarence Munn, coach of the line- men, was, like Martineau, an All- American from Minnesota and also won the Western Conference medal. Weber Coaches Freshmen Wally Weber, who has the vital job of handling the freshman candidates, was a fullback at the University in 1925-26. His job will become doubly important with the rescinding of the freshman eligibility rules. Bennie Oosterbaan, only Michigan man who has ever been All-American three times in a row, is head basket- ball coach. Bennie is an especially busy man since he also serves in the position of end coach on the football staff. While he was at Michigan, he was one of the few men in the his- tory of the school to receive nine var- sity awards. Doherty Is Track Coach Ken Doherty,' who coaches the trackmen, followed in the steps of his predecessor Charlie Hoyt when his thinclads retained both the indoor and outdoor crowns in his first year here. Chester Stackhouse, chosen to take Doherty's place in 1940, when the latter was appointed head track coach, is the mentor of the yearling thinclads. Before coming here he coached at Saginaw High School. Ray Fisher, Michigan basebal coach, was a former big league bal: player with the Cincinnati Reds anc the New York Yankees. He cam( here in 1921, and since that time ha: turned out seven Big Ten champion- ship teams. Ernie McCoy, coach o t r 5 S C C 2 a e Cl ll d e ,s )f I the nov Ma p e freshman baseball players, w in the Navy. nn Has Outstanding Record Perhaps the most outstanding r is field, Minn., found par on Olympia ec- ord of any man on the staff is that i held by Matt Mann, the head swim-0 ming coach. Coming here in 1925,I he has, since that time produced 149 Big Ten and 12 Intercollegiate cham-o pionships. In 1940 his squad becameC the first to win the Big Ten, the Na- tional Intercollegiate and the Na-a tional AAU crowns in one year. Leroy Weir came here five years ago as the coach' of the Michigan net- ters and has had steadily improving teams until in 1941 his men were able to capture the Big Ten title. Courtright Coaches Wrestlerst Cliff Keen was the wrestling coachr until a year ago, but was calledinto the service so Ray Courtright, men- tor of the golf team, was called in to aid with the poaching job. Court- right won 12 larsity letters and was a member of Phi Beta Kappa while1 attending Oklahoma University. Eddie Lowrey who was a star hock- ey player himself with the Ottawa1 Senators is in charge of the Michigan i puck squad. Although in the past couple of years the teams have had only mediocre success due to lack of material, the prospects for next yearI are very good. Barclay Is Golf Manager This last season brought two new coaches onto the Michigan roster of mentors, namely, Bill Barclay, who serves in the double capacity of as- sistant basketball coach and " golf manager, and Art Valpey, who has assisted in football and PEM. Great Lakes Tops Cubs For Third Time, 11-7 TORONTO, June 29.- UP)- The Great Lakes Naval Training Base beat the Chicago Cubs for the third straight time today, pounding out 15 hits to defeat the National Leaguers, 11 to 7, in an exhibition charity baseball game. Lon Warneke, who started for the Cubs, was rapped for six hits and five runs in the first three innings. Joe Grace's triple and Barney Mc- Cosky's double drove in four of the five tallies. Fields No. 1 course easy to master to- lay. The Austin, Minn., youth toured 16 holes this afternoon in regulation figures to dispose of Jim Besenfelder of Notre Dame, 4 and 2, after a three under par morning performance that gave him a queck 8 and 6 decision over another Yale representative, J. G. Harris. The setback to Smith, a pre-tourn- ament favorite, merely continued the wholesale sidelining of highly rated players in this year's tournament. The lone survivor has been Kuntz, whose title bid last year was stopped in the semi finals by Manuel De La Torre of Northwestern. Smith got into the quarter-finals by defeating Robert Krogh of Min- nesota, 4 and 2. Fife was forced 20 holes to best Claude Wild of Texas, after having the Longhorn four down at the turn. Minnesota's Jim Teale, co-holder with Smith of the Big Ten title, was behind all the way as he lost his match in the round of 16 to Besen- felder. Ulrich, who beat the Notre Dame star in the afternoon, turned in a brilliant sub-par performance to down Yale's J. G. Harris, 8 and 6. Kuntz, newly elected Smith's suc- cessor as president of the NCAA golfers, reached the quarterfinals th Yanks Blast Farm Club WELLSVILLE, N.
