OUTLAST HOOSIERS:
Golfers take Northern tourney
By PHIL BROWN+
':There's a lot of luck in i,
really,' says Michigan baseball
coach Moby Benedict. "It all de-
pends on when you get the hot
hand.
"Let's just hope that our luck
hold on for another three or four
weeks," he concludes, and with
good reason.
Michigan's "hot-handed" dia-
mondmen have won eight of their
last nine ganes, and are sitting on
top of the 1968 Big Ten baseball
race with a highly respectable 5-1
onference record.
The Wolverines ripped of five

ond half of a twin bill on Satur-

in the nightcap.
Michigan had little trouble in
the Saturday opener. SophomoreI
hurler Steve Evans went all the
way as the Wolverines banged out
a 5-1 decision. Right-fielder El-
liott Maddox, one of numerous
players sporting .300-plus batting
averages, had two hits in the con-
test. . }
fJack Hurley started the second
game on the hill, and allowed a
single Hoosier score that was too
much for his teammates to handle.
Hurley issued a pair of walks in
the first frame, and a single
knocked in the game's only score.
Paradoxically, he allowed only the
one hit to the visitor, but was tag-
ged with the loss just the same.

In the fifth, Chuck Schmidt got
the first Michigan hit, looping a
Texas-league single to right cen-
ter field, but catcher Pete Titone
grounded into a double play to
end the inning.
ONCE AGAIN
The Wolverines mounted an-
other threat in the sixth. With two
outs, Andy Fisher walked and
Maddox drilled a single to left.
The rally was once'again cut off,
however, when Redmon flied out
to left.
Benedict is obviously pleased
with the prospect of leading the
Big Ten scramble at this date, but
is not overly optimistic about thet
rest of the season.
His charges had a rough time{
of it through the first three weeks,
and there are still a lot of gamesI
to be played. His team has im-#

from a' disastrous trip to Arizona.

triangular meet victory over Ohio
State and Purdue. It was;not an
easy win, however, with the yWol-
verines edging the Buckeyes 89 2/3
to 83 x/3.
Wolverines won seven events in
the trianguar meet, and that is a
good sign as the outdoor season
comes down to conference action.
Dependable Jim Dolan copped
another three-mile victory, Larry
Midlam skimmed the high hurdles
in :14.0 for a second Michigan win,
and'Ron Kutschinski edged team-
mate Paul Armstrong in the 880
for a third Wolverine first.
There were also wins where they
might not have been so readily
expected. Ken How, one of three
Canadians who have done well in
a Michigan uniform, won the mile
run with a respectable time of
4:14.4.

SOMETHING MISSING
Michigan still has not found the
quarter-milers that were missing
from the indoor squad, but the
wolverines still have put together
a mile relay quartet that may be
among the best in the conference.
The foursome took second at,

Donald running a fine :47.7

corded a :48.9 effort and Taimo:
Leps a :48.8, but these will have
to be improved upon for a place
in the conference meet.
One event does seems to be
rouding into fine shape after a
long dry spell. Gary Knicker-
bocker, Clarence Martin, and Rick
Hunt took first, second, and third
at Columbus for their finest col-
lective showing of the year.
Both Martin and Hunt have
been erratic since the start of the
indoor season, and their imlrove-
ment will mean a lot to the team.
Kutschinski's victory in the 880,
in the very fast time of 1:49.6, is
also encouraging. He has run well
for weeks now, after suffering an!
annoying leg injury in February.
