Special To The Daily
Lady Luck cast a black shadow
over Michigan's varsity teams this
season, and the baseball squad
was no exception. For the ump-
teenth time the Wolverines had
a chance to win it all, but they
came out holding the short end of
the rope again Saturday when
Ohio State nosed out Michigan,
Iin the final day of conference play
to retain the Big Ten title.
It was a triumphant finish for
the Buckeyes as they played under
considerable pressure to sweep a
doubleheader from Iowa at Iowa
City, 2-1 and 1-0, after Michigan
had taken arch-rival Michigan h
State in a single encounter, 6-4, at
Old College Park in East Lansing.- '
The final standings showed Ohio
State on top with a 13-5 mark
and .722 percentage with Michigan
second, a full game back, -at 10-4.
The game between cross state h
rivals, Michigan and Michigan :
State, was a thriller to behold. Al-
though Michigan jumped off to a
commanding lead of 5-0 by the
end of the third, Michigan State
wasted little time as they got
three right back on Tom Ellis'
homer in the fourth that carried
over the left field fence.
The blast closed the gap, 5-3,

Iowa 35, Minnesota 342, Ohio

ISU led 130%/ to 130 going into

points. It pitted Michigan's \Bob
Pritula and Ed Waits against the
Spartans' Jim Phillips and Vic
Dhooge.
Pritual and Waits won the first
set 7-5, but Phillips and Dhooge
rallied to take the last two sets
6-3 and 8-6 to nail down the
victory.
Michigan had taken a 128 to
125% lead over Michigan State
by winning three of the six final
singles matches.
But MSU took all three of the
doubles finals to wrap up the
victory.
Wisconsin's D o n Bleckinger,
who upset Michigan ace Dick
Dell in the semifinals, topped
MSU's Chuck Brainard to take the
No. 1 singles crown 8-6, 7-5.
MSU's Jim Phillips, the only
unbeaten singles player in the Big
Ten, won his final test with a
6-3, 6-3 victory over Michigan's
Pritula.
Michigan. which had sought its
third straight Big Ten title, en-
tered the championships with 71
dual meet points to 70 for MSU.

Iowa edging Michigan State 52/

the title for host Iowa.

Jon Reimer in the 440 hurdles,
Mike Mondane in the 440 run
and Iowa's mile relay team; and
Michigan's Jack Harvey in the
shot put and Clarence Martin in
the high jump.
Iowa captured four firsts-pil-
ing up 16 points winning both the
440 and mile relays-and produc-
ing new champions in the 440
hurdles and 3,000-meter steeple-
chase.
Michigan State, heavily favored
to become only the third Big Ten
school to sweep three straight
team titles, had three firsts, but
lacked the scoring balance of the
Hawkeyes.
Most noteworthy of the new rec-
ords was a 6-9 high jump by
Michigan's Clarence Martin which
broke the 10-year-old conference
mark of 6-8% set by Al Urbanckas
of Illinois in the 1957 meet.

Every time something takes place or takes off
from Cape Kennedy, we hear about it from
Howard Benedict. And so do you.
Benedict is the chief aerospace writer for
The Associated Press, and one of the chief
reasons whyour reports of the space program,
from the first Alan Shepard flight in the Free-
dom 7 to the latest space feat; have been so
complete and so authoritative.
In seven years, Benedict has witnessed
more than 1200 countdowns and spent count-
less hours with every expert in the space pro-
gram. He's as much up on the subject as
anyone can be who hasn't been up in space.
Howard Benedict, of course, is just one of
the many skilled AP reporters, writers, re-
searchers. and photographers covering the
field. There are dozens of them, and they're
all there just to make sure that we get all the
news from space. Just so we can get it all to
the earth people, our readers.
Everything that's going on, goes into our newspaper. That' why you get so much out of it.
