A sparse crowd at Ferry Field watched both Illini hurler Tom Fletcher and Wolverine mounds- man Fritz Fisher, both southpaws, turn in superb performances. Fisher limited the Illini to just four hits and thre walks, while Fletcher yielded six safeties and five passes. Illinois third baseman Carl Peterson hit the first pitch of the game between short and third to set up the visitors' lone tally. Wihle Fisher was striking out Tony Eichelberger and Bud Felichio, Peterson stole second and raced to third on a passed ball by Michi- gan catcher Joe Merullo. Slice Grounder Lloyd Flodin then sliced a twist- ing grounder down the third base line which Jim Newman mishan- dled for one error and threw wildly to first for a second. Peterson scored on the play, Flodin making it as far as second. But he died there as Jerry Rozmus grounded out to end the inning. From then on, the pitchers were in complete control. Both teams occasionally put runners in scoring position, but each time, the start- ters were equal to the task. The Wolverines launched their best bid to enter the scoring col- Major League Standings AMERICAN LEAGUE umn in the fourth, when with one out, Ron Tate singled sharply through the box. After Jim Steck- ley fanned, Dennis Spalla drove the ball through the same spot where Tate hit his, and there were runners on first and third. Merullo then gave Fletcher his biggest scare of the afternoon when he sent left fielder Rozmus back to the 340-ft. mark to haul down a long foul fly. Two Base Runners The only other frame in which Michigan managed to put two runners on was the sitxh when Dick Honig's single and Steckley's walk left men on first and second with two out. But Fletcher was equal to the task again, and forced Spalla to loft any easy fly to left. Close The Illini launched what almost was a productive inning in the fifth when first baseman Jerry Renner grounded a single into center field with one gone. After he stole second, John Matt walked, and both advanced a base on Flet- cher's grounder to second. With Peterson at the plate, Fisher took a full windup and, taking off with the pitch, Renner dashed for home. He was out on the closest play of the game, which prompted a few minutes of heated argument from Renner, Peterson, and Illinois Coach Lee Eilbracht. Two-Bagger Flodin notched the only extra- base hit of the contest in the nal round when he lined a ground rule double which cleared Spalla's head and bounced over the fence. But Fisher, undaunted, proceeded to strike out the side. This was an especially heart- breaking loss for Fisher, since he was vastly improved from his spring showing. He reduced his earned run average from 5.65 to 4.02, and racked up 10 strikeouts to swell his season's total to 38 in four games. However, the setback left his won-lost record at 0-4, which is twice as many games as he dropped all of last year. The defeat, coming in Michi- gan's first conference bout, lowered the Wolverines' season record to 5-7. Illinois, a prime contender for the Big Ten championship cur- rently held by the losers, elevated its won-lost mark to 11-2. Yester- day's game was the only one slated between the two teams for the 1962 season.

In Columbus Meet By JIM BERGER The Michigan golf team will dis- play its wares today at Columbus in its first northern meet of the year. The team will play 36 holes on Ohio State's spacious Scarlet course against six other teams: Ohio State, Purdue, Indiana, Ken- tucky, Ohio University, Notre Dame and Southern Illinois. The meet will be Michigan's first competition of the season as well as its first Northern meet. In the southern trip matches with Duke and the Hope Valley Coun- try Club of Pinehurst, N. C. were cancelled because of rain. New Scoring Method Under the change in the con- ference rules from last year, the matches will be scored on a three point medal play Nassau basis. (A point for the lowest score for the first nine, a point for the low- est score on the second nine, and a point for the lowest score for the round.) Last season all duel meets were scored on a total stroke basis as an experimental innovation. Another new Big Ten golf rule is being initiated for the Con- ference Meet. Previously a team counted the low five scores of its six man team. This year the teams will count the low five scores for each round. Youngsters Compete Michigan will send a relatively young team into today's meet. There is only one senior, Captain Bill Newcomb, in the Michigan line-up. Newcomb will go as Mich- igan's number one man. Junior letterman Chuck Newton will play number two man. Tom Pendlebury, a junior of hockey fame, will go as Michigan's number three man. Gary Mouw, a sophomore, will be number four man and another soph, Dave Cameron, will play at number five. Bill Hallack will be Michigan's number six man.

Langs YESTERDAY'S RESULTS No games scheduled TODAY'S GAMES New York at Pittsburgh Chicago at St. Louis San Francisco at Cincinnati Los Angeles at Milwaukee Philadelphia at Houston I 'M' Cindermen Out To Continue Winning Ways in Ohio Relays By DAVE GOOD Special To The Daily COLUMBUS-Today's Ohio Re- lays are, by precedent one of those affairs always dominated by one team-in this case a track meet that belongs to Michigan. Every year the Wolverines seem to walk off with the lion's share of the victories, but it's become so much of a tradition that some- times they're overlooked. Like last year, for instance. Michigan was the defending cham- pion in five of the six university relays and proceeded to win four again and place third in the fifth one. Then the team scratched from the last event, the mile relay, and went home early because rain had put the meet an hour behind schedule. Nobody Loves Them So the Wolverines had to be content with four relay wins plus a first 'in the shot put from Ray Locke. And what happened to the As- sociated Press coverage of the meet? It seems that nearly all the papers in the country the next day ran stories about a college called Central State, located in Wilberforce, Ohio, making itself a threat to be reckoned with by the nation's track powers. The Staters had won two hurdle races with a fellow named Bill Washington and then took the mile relay. Nobody mentioned that Michi- gan's two hurdlers, Dick Cephas and Ben McRae, might have had something to say about Washing- ton's two victories, or that Michi- gan had left before the relay. Track coach Don Canham gave +he Staterscrdit for having a This year McRae may still have something to say about who wins the 120-yd. high hurdles. Last year he ran on both the 440 and 880 relays, but not the hurdles. Today he's not running any- thing but the 440 relay wnd the hurdles unless the weather is un- expectedly warm. And he's going to get good competition in the hurdles, too. Willie May, ex-Indiana Big Aen champion and Olympic silver med- laist, is the biggest challenge, but Michigan State sophomore Her- man Johnson, who defeated Mc- Rae twice indoors early in the season, is also to run. Only Two Relays Canham expects to win maybe only the two relays anchored by Ergas Leps, but says the Wolver- ines may do well in some of the individual events. In the pole vault, Michigan is entering Rod Denhart, Steve Over- ton and sophomores George Wade and Ed Hinkson. Denhart cleared 14'9" this month, and there could be a vault of 15' in the offing. Dave Raimey and Doug ° Niles will board jump for Michigan. This could be a test to see if Raimey is for real, because Can- ham says Olympic champion Ralph Boston may be entered. Raimey defeated Boston indoors when the Tennessee State A&I star failed to hit 24' and the Wolverine football halfback will be trying to go two for two. Two Jumpers Entered High jumpers Steve Williams and Al Ammerman are both jump- ing better than they were before the Big Ten meet indoors, when Ammerman took second and Wil- liams tied for third. Williams also won it outdoors two years ago. Sophomores Roger Schmitt and Ernie Soudek are entering the shot put and discus throw as Michi- gan's top men there. The Wolverines have enter-d only three flat races. Jim Neahu- san and Chris Murray are running the mile, along with freshmen Rick Cunningham and Angus MacDonald; Dorr Casto and Dave Hayes are in the 880, along with freshmen Dan Hughes and Des Ryan; and Fred Langille and Ole Torgerson are going the seldom- run three-mile.
