BULLETIN The Michigan baseball game at Bowling Green yesterday was cancelled because of rain. Concerning the Big Ten base- ball race, a statement was is- sued by the Big Ten office in Chicago to the effect that de- spite several published reports to the contrary, there is no conference rule requiring a team, to play half its games in order to be eligible for the con- ference title. Therefore, Ohio State will be eligible for the title even if one or more of its remaining con- ference games is rained out. 4. :. ; .
