his Wolverine swimmers as travel-
ing companions to Rome lastj
night as Bob Webster won the;
men's platform diving contest and
Bill Darnton gained a place on,
the freestyle relay team.
Webster, a senior, won the plat-
form event with a total of 166.56,
edging Gary Tobian who also
earned a trip to Rome with 159.69
points. Webster, protege of two-
time Olympic diving champion Dr.
Sammy Lee, exhibited his best
form and gained several perfect
ratings for his efforts.
Another Wolverine, Ron Jaco,
placed sixth in the finals.
Farrell Places
The largest ovation of the night
at the Brennan Pool came when
Jeff Farrell, plagued by a recent
appendectomy, finally placed on
the team with a fourth place in
the 200-meter freestyle along with
Darnton. The event was won by
George Harrison in 2:03.1 followed
by Richard Blick at 2:04.2 and
Darnton at 2:04.4. The top six

To Victory over Giants
Vinegar Bend Mizell pitched
ttsburgh to a 1-0 victory over
,n Francisco last night, increas-
g the Pirates' first National
ague lead to four games.
Cincinnati dumped St. Louiso
Co third place, shutting out the
rdinals 3-0. Milwaukee replac-
St. Louis in the runner-up
ot, thrashing the Chicago Cubs
-2. Rain washed out the sched-1
ed Los Angeles-Phillies game ins
iladelphia.
The New York Yankees increas-
their American League lead to
2 games over Chicago, defeat-
g Kansas City 4-3 as Washing- i
nl licked the White Sox 6-1.1
ilrd place Baltimore missed anf
The Braves racked up four Chi-'
cago pitchers for 15 hits, includ-
ing home runs by Hank Aaron and
pitcher Lew Burdette. It was Aar-
on's 30th of the season, tying him
with the Cubs' Ernie Banks for
the league lead. Burdette spaced
seven hits for his 12th victory.,
Bobby Shantz snuffed out a be-
lated ninth inning rally by Kan-
sas City to preserve the Yankee
victory for Art Ditmar. Trailing
4-1, the Athletics kayoed relievers
Luis Arrylo and Bob Turley with
two runs and had runners on first
and second when Shantz came in
and got Norm Siebern on a long
fly to Maris. It was Maris' two-run
homer in the third, his 33rd of the
season, that proved the difference.
Senators Explode
The Senators knocked out Buck
Shaw with a four-run explosion in
the first inning and went on to
inflict the fifth straight defeat
upon the defending champion
White Sox. Two walks and succes-
sive singles by Faye Throneberry,
Billy Gardner and Earl Beattey
after two out fiinished Shaw. Pro-
vided with this cushion, Pete Ra-
mos went on to win his seventh!
game with a seven-hitter.
Johnny Temple squeezed home
Red Wilson with a neat bunt in
the seventh to present Jimmy
Dykes with a victory in his man-
agerial debut at Cleveland. Wilson
had opened with a double and ad-
vanced to third on a sacrifice bunt
by pitcher Jim Perry, who became
the first pitcher in the league to
win 13 games,
Fares Badly
Joe Gordon didn't fare as well
in his managerial debut at De-
troit. A four run Red Sox seventh,
highlighted by Don Buddin's two
run triplet, hung the defeat on
Frank Lary.
Gordon came to the Tigers in
an unprecedented m a n a g e r i a 1
trade with the Indians for Dykes
Wednesday.

Standings
Two other Michigan natators
were in the finals of the 1500
meter freestyle match, Junior Win
Pendleton and sophomore War-
ren Uhler. But they were no match
for the tremendous pair of Alan
Somers and George Breen who
both were timed for a new Ameri-
can record at 17:40.0. The Judges'
decision went to Somers but both
men earned a spot on the squad.
Pendleton and Uhler were fifth
and sixth respectively.
The men's 100 meter breast-
stroke, which was supposed to de-
termine the second contestant in
the 200-meter Olympic event and
the medley relay member, was
won' by Paul Hait in 1:13.5. Chet
Jastremski, who could have cin-
ched his berth by placing first or
second, finished fourth. He had
previously finished second to Bill
Mullikin in the 200-meter con-
test. This result threw the decision
into the committee's lap and at
midnight they had not made a
decision.
Women's Records
The women's events provided
the world records, however, as
Chris von Saltza added the 400-
meter freestyle win to her earlier
100-meter triumph. Her time of
4:44.5 eclipsed the international
standard of 4:45.4 set by Aus-
tralia's Ilse Konrads. Young Car-
olyn House was runner-up in
4:55.1.
Lyn Burke also came through
with a new world mark of 1:09.2
in winning the 100-meter back-
stroke over Nina Harmar. Miss
Burke bettered her own qualify-
ing time world standard by .8
seconds. Carin Cone, second place
winner at Melbourne in 1956 failed
to make it this year by finishing
third.
Paul Jean Pope made it two
diving titles this year in captur-
ing the women's platform contest
with 90.48 points, and Juno Stover
Irwin made the U.S. team for a
record fourth time by placing sec-
ond.
Webster and Miss Pope are both
residents of Santa Ana, Cal., and
both pupils of Lee.
Double Winner
Ann Warner was another double
winner, bettering the American
mark with 1:22.3 in the 100 meter
breaststroke. She had earlier cap-
tured the 100 meter top berth.
Jackie Danielson was runner-up
in the 200.
Susan Doerr, in 1:04.2, and Joan
Spillane won the right to enter the
100 meter freestyle Olympic race.
The top six in this event will also
go to Rome, from which the relay
team will be picked.
Webster and Darnton join but-
terfly ace Dave Gillanders as Mich-
igan swimmers on the Olympic
squad. Gillanders won second in
the 200 meter match.
Two Michigan coeds made the
finals of the platform contest but
failed to make the team. They are
Karla Klumpp and Kathy Hart-
