AROUND THE HORN-Michigan's captain, Joe Jones, whips the
ball to first, with the runner out at second. For the second year
in a row Jones is the middle man in the combination which is
bound and determined to keep all runners from reaching third.
The result of their efforts was seen in yesterday's victory over
Western Michigan, 3-0.

Clyde Barnhart's teasing junk
pitches and four snappy doubleN
plays behind him keynoted af
Michigan victory over Western1
Michigan yesterday, 3-0.-
Western Michigan is rankedf
among the top five college teamsf
in the nation, while Michigan, al-
though defending NCAA cham-
pions, has fallen considerably
from its pre-season ranking. Thet
Wolverines are also currently tiedt
for fifth in the Big Ten, one and1
one-half games behind leader Illi-
nois.
Barnhart, whose pitching phil-
osophy seems to be that the best
fastball is the one not thrown,
tantalized the Bronco batters withj
assorted curves and change-ups
and an occasional hummer just
so the batters didn't get bored.
The wiry southpaw allowed a scant'
eight hits to notch his second vic-
tory of the season against a pair
of defeats.
No-Run Streakj
Barnhart did not exactly coast
to victory, however. Michigan,
seemingly trying to earn the nick-
name the "Hitless Wonder,"
brought their dubious streak of
14 runless innings to a close in
the bottom of the eighth. WMU
hurler Gary Wallman had kept
the Wolverines docile on a meager
yield of three hits until catcher
Pete Adams plopped a single in
right field leading off. The fig-
ure of pitcher Barnhart at the
plate then seemed to worry Wall-
man as he granted his second
pass of the game.
Joe "The Jet" Jones stepped to
the plate with directions to move
the runners. On the first pitch he
laid a bunt down third that spun
foul before it reached the bag..
Undaunted, the Michigan captain
slithered another bunt down the
line. This one stayed fair. Jones
zoomed to first beating Waliman's
accurate peg.
Jim Newman then took his
stance with the sacks loaded. New-
man had been hit by a Wallman

fast ball in the sixth but he
showed no gun shyness as he
whacked a line drive into right
field to score Adams and Barn-
hart. The throw from right beat
the Michigan pitcher, but a foot
first slide jarred the ball loose
from WMU catcher Jerry Austrey.
Ron Tate delivered the third
run with a sacrifice fly to center.
Western threatened several times
to mar Barnhart's shutout. In the
third frame, successive hits by
Austrey and Wallman threatened
to mar the scoreless tie, but a
double play around the horn
started by Dick Post snipped the
rally in the bud. Twin killings also
stifled the restless Broncos in the
fifth and sixth.
Broncos Threaten
In the sixth, Fred Machalski,
who had a better than .400 aver-
age going into the contest, blasted
a double off the left field fence
on" the fly with none out. Right-
fielder Dave Kwiatkowski moved
him to third on an infield out.
Then Dan Predovic laced a liner
to right which Tate speared.
Machalski, rather than tagging up,
had sauntered down the line be-
fore the catch and was forced to
flee to the bag instead of trying
to score the lead run. Barnhart
then retired Dave Reeves on a
grounder to second.
The last touchy moments were
in the ninth. The Wolverine lefty,

followed with a ground single to
left.
Representing the tying run,
hulking Dave Kwiatkowski faced
the pitcher. Barnhart, keeping the

the big man after his pitch. Kwiat-I

Belinsky May
Be Sent Down
To Minors
CLEVELAND (P) - Los An-
geles Manager Bill Rigney denied
a report yesterday that pitcher Bo
Belinsky may be sent to the minor
leagues.
Furillo said Rigney gave this re-
sponse to a query about Belin-
sky's future:
"See me Tuesday. I don't know
if he has any major league op-
tions left."
Belinsky, a playboy hurler
whose record of 1-7 contrasts with
his 6-1 start a year ago as a rookie,
was blasted off the mound in two
innings by the New York Yankees
Sunday after giving up eight runs.
The Angels lost 10-4.

4 WINKS THINKS
y By Jan Winkelman
Hail to the Victors!
Very few people ever have the opportunity to become as Intimately
connected with the world of sports as the sportswriter. He not only
witnesses sports history being made at first hand; he has the oppor-
tunity to speak with coaches, trainers, and managers. The sports-
writer hobnobs with other sportswriters, broadcasters, and scouts;
but he has his strongest ties to the athlete.
The college sports editor has all these opportunities plus; for
the college sports editor has the closest contact with the athlete.
He goes to classes with athletes. He has friends who are athletes.
And often he lives with athletes.
In my year as associate sports editor of The Daily, I have been
fortunate enough to do all these things. Being a sportswriter has been
a rare privilege, shared by only a small minority of sports fans. It is
for this reason that, in my final column, I would like to relate to
you one of the most important lessons one can learn from being on
the sports staff.
Disillusioning Initiation...
A year as a senior editor comes as frosting on the cake. The re-
sponsibilities of being a senior sports editor forces one to objetify
and concretize his attitude towards sports and sportsmanship. The
sports editor is called upon to defend his team at the-same time he is
acquiring choice tidbits told him confidentially "not for print."
For example, one learns that because of incidents down at
Columbus, the marching band does not perform there. One learns
of fierce personal rivalries between coaches that extend beyond the
athletic field. One learns of illegality and prostitution within the
world of sports that revolve around 'Ole King Dollar Bill.
The 'initiation into the sports world comes as a disillusionment.
One finds out that certain broadcasters take narcotics. Some of the
best sportswriters in the world are incorrigible drunks who turn out
their copy at three in the morning after drinking their way through
the evening.
Even right here at the University there are rumors and un-
dercover antics that make the world of sports lose some of its
glamor. The more one knows, the more one wonders why people
become involved in sports at the professional level.
There are harsh realities in the sports world. There is the inces-
sant pressure to win. There is the pressure upon the scholarship ath-
lete to excel in his sport even though he would really prefer to devote
his time to studying. There is the ludicrous tendency to put on a
show rather than an athletic contest. These things make the real
sports fan angry.
Champions of the West...
The University of Michigan began its athletic program in order
to supplement the student's education. The athletic program has come
a long way since. Athletics at Michigan is big business. Coaches re-
ceive one year contracts; this is an athletic department rule of
thumb, tacitly pandering to the unsportsmanlike obsession with
winning. Inter-school rivalries are encouraged and catered to in the
interest of stimulating ticket sales.
After a year as sports editor, you begin to realize that sports
loses its thrill when the real excitement is not above board. The
intrinsic exciting nature of an athletic event involves competi-
tion. Nobody argues against competition when it is fair.
Especially at the college level, the emphasis of sports tends to be-
come an important problem; This spring was the first in many years
that Michigan did not have a champion. Last year's football season
came as a big disappointment in many quarters. For whatever i$ might
be worth, Lthought I'd 'end my final column with an excerpt from a
letter that appeared in the Michigan Alumni magazine by a graduate
of the Class of 1907. The letter expresses, perhaps, better than the
whole preceding column, the attitude that should be adopted at The
University. I quote:
"I hate to lose and I, too, care a lot about results, but there
are far more important results to be had than just getting the
biggest score. The price that some schools pay for winning is far
too great."
Ditto-Wink Thinks!
