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.

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. A.
