Ray Dennis Has
Sore Arm, Coach

Ray Dennis is still susceptible TO
sore arms, and that's why Ray

ally cheerful baseball coach, is
stepped in gloom.
Dennis lasted less than three in

the Hurons fell before Michigan

ambled into the Huron dugout,
the big Highlander announced
that his arm felt dead. The same
ailment troubled him all last sea

err Ken Carakostas or Sig Gretz-
ner against the Tartars. The game
with Wayne's first baseball team
will be played at Wallace Field.
Oakland and Connecticut Ave, in
Detroit.
Carakostas made creditable
showing against State after he re-
leaved Dennis in the third inning.
BY that time the Spartans had
collected seven hits and Ave runs.
The Detroiter did not allow a
hit until the eighth inning. then
trouble appeared. With two men
on base and two out, Roy Chlopan,
Spartan infielder, looped a short
fly into the territory just beyond
second base. =
Both Walt Sierra and Andy New
lands dashed in after the fly, al
though Sierra got his hands on 1t,
the ball roSed out of his glove as
he SHE'D Away from Newlands in
order to prevent a dangerous COLI
sion.
Two runs scored. Carakostas be-
came unnerved. and State added
three more counters on four blows
before the inning was over.
State received brilliant hurting
from Paul Derrickson and Don
Fleischman. Derrickson was touch
ed for only one hit, a questionable
single by Newlands, before the
seventh inning
He weakened In the seventh,
though, and Capt. Joe Borovich,
Chuck Oxley, John Shada, Joe

out consecutive singles to score
three runs. Fleischman worked the

Tennis Coach iii, Team Unable
to Beat Well Conditioned Wavne

Paul B. Samson, jovial coach Of
the Michigan Normal tennis
team, was not present as the HUI
ron squad bowed to Wayne Uni
versity, 6 to s, here Saturday af-
ternoon.
Samson's absence is a greater
piece OF news than the report OF
Normal's match, because the vet
eran mentor has never before
missed a meet In which one OF
his teams has competed. At least
there is no record of his having
ever failed TO show up for a
Huron match.
That's quite testimonial to
Samson's faithful service, for he
has been handling tennis at Mich
igan Normal for II years. He was
absent Saturday only because Of
q serious Illness. II the doctor
hadn't ordered him into bed, he
would have kept the date any
way.
So the Hurons had a double in
centive TO beat the Tartars. And
they tried hard to do Just that.
but Wayne's superior physical
conditioning, result of its
Southern vacation trip, proved too
decisive a factor.
The grueling work was too
much even for Vic Mastromarco,
Huron ace. Mastromarco had
enough energy to score an ex-
citing three-set victory over I'd
Granger. OF Wayne. in the No.
singles, but he tired rapidly when
he teamed with Fritz BENEFITS to
face Granger and Pete Nunez in
the top doubles contest.
Mastromarco's set scores over
Granger in singles play were SO,
SO, SO. His win certainly estab-
fishes the sparky Huron Junior
as one OF the leading collegiate
METERS in the state.
Granger and Nunez finally de-
feated Mastromarco and BENEFITS
after three sets, 6-4. as. 6-3.
Wayne won another doubles and
four singles matches.
