PHILADELPHIA (P)-Michigan
repeated as four-mile champion of
the Penn Relays, running the dis-
tance in 17:16.3. But Yale, a tough
band of Ivy Leaguers, shattered
Abilene Christian's fond dreams
of winning four titles by whipping
to a 9:53.9 victory in the distance
medley, a meet record.
It was Ergar Leps, the Lithuan-
ian born Canadian Olympian, who
nailed down the four-mile vic-
Spahn No-Hits Giants
MILWAUKEE () - Milwau-
kee's southpaw great Warren
Spahn pitched the second no-
hitter of his career for victory
No. 290 last night as the graves
took a 1-0 decision from the
San Francisco Giants.
In winning his second deci-
sion against one defeat this
season, Spahn struck out five
and walked only two. He need-
ed flashy fielding help on only
a couple of occasions.
tory for the Wolverines. He touch-
ed off his anchor leg a couple of
yards behind Mark Mullin of Har-
vard, another Ivy Leaguer who
flexed his muscles.
Round and 'round they went,
while thunder crackled, rain pour-
ed down, lightning cut jagged slits
through the sky and a brave little
band of spectators stuck it out in
Franklin Field.
Going into the last turn, it ap-

peared that Mullin might fight
off Leps. But in the stretch lead-
ing home, Leps jumped Mullin
and crossed the finish about eight
yards to the good.
Jim Wyman, Walt Schafer and
Dave Martin handled the stick be-
fore Leps took over. They didn't
lead all the way, but they kept
within hailing distance of the
leaders, confident that Leps could
make up any deficit.
The Michigan 440 relay team
also did well as it led al qualifiers
for today's finals with a :44.1
clocking. The team is composed of
Bennie McRae, Dick Cephas, John
Gregg and anchor man Tom Rob-
inson.
Disqualified in 880
The Wolverines ran into some
hard luck in the 880-yd. relay,
when they were disqualified. Cep-
has was the culprit when he passed
the baton out of his lane to Rob-
inson. Les Bird was foiled in his
try for a third straight broad
jump crown when Godfrey Moore,
of Winston-Salem Teachers, best-
ed him with a 24'7%" leap.
It took a meet record by Yale
to beat back Abilene Christian in
the distance medley.
Bobby Mack, the Elis' sopho-
more anchor man, was 'the main
architect of the victory. He fought
off John Lawler all through the
backstretch of the mile leg and
hit the tape about five yards in

front of the Texan from Australia
and like Mack, a sophomore.
The old meet record of 9:55.3
was set by Villanova in 1958. Mich-
igan, the defending champion,
scratched just before the start to
concentrate on the four-mile.
One .Man Gang
Russ Rogers, a one-man gang
from Maryland State, who ran on
both his half-mile and quarter-
mile qualifiers, won the 440-yd.
hurdles in :52.2. Dennis Moore of
Abilene Christian captured the
two-mile in 9:06.4, Bob Batdorf of
Penn successfully defended his
discuss throw crown with a 173-5
flip and Stan Doten .of Harvard
captured the hammer with a 195-
102 effort.

Special to The Daily
BLOOMINGTON -- Minus two
key players in Bill Vogt and'
Wayne Peacock, the Michigan ten-
nis team, nevertheless, lashed
Ohio State 9-0 in the afternoon,
but fell behind starstudded North-
western 2-1 in later action at a
quadrangular meet in Blooming-
ton, Ind., yesterday.
Facing Northwestern, Ohio State
and Indiana in the weekend tour-
ney the Wolverines used make-
shift power from their re-organiz-
ed lineup to sweep by the Buck-
eyes. The smooth functioning
Wildcats were a tougher nut to
crack as the Wolverines won only
one of three doubles matches to
trail by one point with the deci-
sive singles matched to be played
this afternoon,
Senkowski Wins
Big Ray Senkowski started the
ball rolling in registering his fifth
straight win in the number one
singles by ousting OSU's Perry
Taylor 6-4, 6-2. The former Na-
tional Interscholastic champion
used his net game to advantage
to control the match.
Teammate Jim Tenny followed
suit by rolling past John White
with little difficulty 6-3, 6-3.
Bruce MacDonald outlasted Jim
Weaver 7-5, in the first set and
called on reserve power to smoth-
er his opponent 6-1 in the third
set.
Converted basketballer Scott
Maentz displayed his versatility
by besting John Ridgeway 6-3,
6-1. Sophomore Tom Beach had
the easiest victory in turning aside
Ohio State's Roger Mitchell in
quick sets 6-0, 6-2. In the final

singles match senior Tom Heinle.
a new starter, topped Tom Huffert
by rallying for a 4-6, 6-1, 6-4 vic-
tory.
Short Work
In the doubles Senkowski and
Maentz made short work of Tay-
lor and Weaver 6-0, 6-2. Tenny
and Beach dumped White and
Ridgely 6-4, 6-2, and Heinle and
Bruce MacDonald combined tok
beat Morehead and Huffard 6-3,
6-2.
A capable and competition test-
ed Northwestern crew used their
fine potential, rewardingly, as
sophomores Skippy Gage and Ken
Paulson, former Illinois state dou-
bles champions at Evanston High

School, tripped up Senkowski and
Maentz 7-5, 6-4. Jim Kohl, vying
for the number one singles posi-

Michigan Open Begins;
Frosh To Show Power

By BRIAN MacCLOWRY
It was a day like all days yester-
day-it rained-then it snowed-
then it rained again.
Everyone was mad.
The whole Michigan baseball
team was mad-it had a 1-0 lead
over Michigan State when the
game was stopped after 11/2 inn-
ings.
Barry Marshall was mad-he hit
a home run in the first inning that
won't count. Mike Joyce was mad
-he had a no-hitter going. Spar-
tan hurler Mickey Sinks was mad
-he had a one-hitter going.
Don Lund was mad-he got all
wet. The major league scouts were
mad-they didn't get to see Bill
Freehan swing the willow. Bill
Freehan was mad-he got hit in
the back with a fast ball.
The ground crew"was mad-they
had to re-set the tarp when the
rains came. The ground crew was
mad twice-the water on the in-
field was deep enough to grow rice
paddies.

The fans were mad-all 25 of
them. The Detroit News' Paul
Preuss was mad-he came all the
way from Detroit to see a full
game. The Ann Arbor News' Dave
Teft was mad-he almost got hit
with a soggy foul ball..
I was mad-no chance to write
a funny story.
Spartan Coach John Kobs was
mad-the weather report had said
scattered showers, not continuous
downpour.

The whole Michigan State team
was mad-they had illusions of
beating Michigan. The whole press
corps was mad-they had to cover
the tripleheader between the same
two teams today at East Lansing
starting at 11 a.m.
Ripley is mad-he can't believe
it.

Three Michigan Tankers
Named All-Americans

By JOHN MacREYNOLDS
The Michigan Open, an annual
AAU track meet, will begin at
Ferry Field at 1:00 p.m. this after-
noon with Michigan's strength
coming from the varsity reserves
and the freshman team.
The absence of the regular var-
sity from the meet due to the
Penn Relays will be seen only in
that fewer records may be broken
than might be expected. Actually,
the races may be all the closer,
since the freshmen should provide
a large amount of competition for
Ruggers Try
For Eighth.
Seeking its eighth consecutive
victory, the Ann Arbor Rugby Club
will host the Kitchener-Waterloo
Rugby Club at 2:00 today at Wines
Field.
This Is the Kitchener-Waterloo's
first visit to Ann Arbor, and by all
indications, they may expect a
perfect sample of spring weather
in Ann Arbor-mud, rain, snow,
and, if they're lucky, some hail to
make things even more interest-
ing.
The Kitchener-Waterloo Club is
composed of students from the
University of Waterloo, in Water-
loo, Ontario who are members of
the Western Canadian Intercol-
legiate Rugby Union. Other schools
in the Union are the University of
Toronto, McGill University, Queens
University, and Guelph University.
The visitors will be captained by
Brenden O'Connor of Dublin.
Spearheading their backfield will
be Jeff Pitteway, an outstanding
runner and kicker.
This will be the next to last
home game for the local ruggers,
as they will then travel to Toronto
for a May 6 match, and then will
be off to Chicago for a game on
May 13. They will then return to
Ann Arbor for the last match of
the season against the University
of St. Louis.

those varsity members not at
Philedelphia.
Leading the freshmen will be
Mac Hunter, sprint and middle
distance runner. "He has as much
potential as any man I've seen,"
relates coach Don Canham.
There are nearly 200 entrants
from high schools and colleges, ao-
cording to coach Elmer Swanson,
the meet's mentor. All regular
track and field events, including
relays, will be seen.
The Wolverine squad will be
trying to better last year's record
of three wins, three seconds, three
thirds and a tie for third.
Only Home Meet
This is the only home meet of
the year, because of Michigan's
regular attendance at relays and
open meets instead of the less
useful dual meets. The larger meets
give the cindermen more chances
to compete against good opposi-
tion. This philosophy also leads
to the fact that there has been
only one dual meet scheduled for
this year, that being at Western
Michigan on May 15.
Whatever the outcome of the
races, the meet will be the only
chance to see even a part of the
track team in action at Ann Arb)r.

DES MOINES, Iowa ()-West-
ern Michigan's superb quartet of
milers smashed both the Ameri-
can and the National Collegiate
records for the four-mile relay
yesterday in the 52nd Drake Re-
lays.

The Western Michigan foursome
was clocked in 16:50.4. This bet-
tered the existing American rec-
ord of 16:52.6 and the national
collegiate mark of 16:53.6.
The world record for the four-
mile relay is 16:25.2, by a Hungar-
ian national team in 1959.
A sizzling 4:07 mile by John
Bork on the third lap gave West-
ern Michigan the surge it needed
for an 80-yard victory over Ore-
gon State. Dick Pond had an an-
chor mile of 4:13.6, while leadoff
man Jerry Bashaw did a 4:19.8
leag and number two runner Jer-
ry Ashmore came through in 4:10.

Its poor to harp on the same
old thing, but weather permitting,
Michigan will host the University
of Detroit today in the Wolverines'
first laome meet of the season,
scheduled to begin at 11:00 a.m. at
the University golf course.
The Michigan team, fresh from
its rain-soaked victory last week
over Ohio State, Purdue, and In-
diana in a quadrangular at Colum-
bus, will, according to Coach Bert
Katzenmeyer, use this meet to
sharpen up their game.
"We're going to try to break
the 450 mark," said the Michigan
mentor. Katzenmeyer was refer-

ring to the total scores of all six
players.

average of 76.6. The 450 mark
would give the Wolverines an aver-
age of 75.
Based on the results of the first
meeting between Mchigan.sand
Detroit at Grosse Isle Country
Club in Detroit, the Titans will
probably offer little resistance 'to
the Wolverines. Also the fact that
Michigan will be playing on its
home course will probably do little
to enhance the chances of the
Titans.
Katzenmeyer regards the meet
as a challenge for his squad. "The
course is going to be long and wet,
and the fact that the fairways
haven't been cut will make the
course all the more difficult," said
the Michigan mentor.
