THE MICHIGAN DAILY WEDNESDAY, MAY 4, 1960 THE MICHIGAN DAILY WEDNESDAY, MAY 4,1960 1' Dumps Wayne, 6-0 Nats Stop Indians' Streak; Sox Lead American League N A By DAVE ANDREWS Special to The Daily )ETROIT-Michigan's baseball ,m bunched all five of its hits o three innings for six runs terday and four Wolverine chers held Wayne State to ee hits as Michigan snapped a ee-game losing string, beating Tartars 6-0. Sob Marcereau opened on the und for Coach Don Lund, and er giving up a leadoff single to ,yne's Larry Thow and a walk Jim Reggio, set down nine con- iutive hitters. Only One Hit /eanwhile Michigan picked up runs in the top of the third only one hit. After Marcereau fanned to start the frame, Ed Hood walked and Wayne's right fielder, Tom Riggs, dropped Gene Strucewski's long fly. Bill Roman then singled home Hood and Stru- cewski scored on Dave Brown's shot to short that was bobbled for the second Tartar error of the evening. Jim Bradshaw took over the pitching for Marcereau in the fourth and also held Wayne to one hit in his three-inning stint, as Lund spaced his pitchers in order to be ready for the weekend series with Michigan State. The lone hit off Bradshaw was a high bouncer in front of the plate that he had to wait for to come down. He allowed only two walks in his most impressive pitching performance of the year. Second Hit The Wolverines finally got their second hit of the game, a leadoff double by Roman, in the sixth inning. Then followed a walk to Dave Brown and a perfectly exe- cuted double setal, Wil Franklin brought both runners home with a sliced double into the left field corner. Franklin went to third on Bob Kucher's infield out, and rode home on Dick Syring's sacrifice fly. Michigan picked up its final run in the ninth on singles by George Fead and Bernie Fick and a two-base error by the Tartar rightfielder. Second Shutout Al Koch, who pitched the sev- enth and eighth innings, and John Kerr, who pitched the ninth, continued the whitewash job started by Mercereau and Brad- shaw. The four hurlers wound up with Michigan's second shutout of Wayne this spring. Marcereau was the winner, his second in a row following his brilliant shutout of Iowa last Friday. Another Shutout &iIg SPORTS by HAROLD APPLEBAUM Rites of Spring SPRING HAS COME, temperatures have soared, and the quickly ap- proaching summer is a chief issue at hand, yet for the last four weeks groups of well-conditioned students throughout the country clad in the athletic combat suits of fall, have moved steadily toward the completion of their annual spring football practice. The conclusion of this period will come for many of these teams this weekend when they take the field for their annual Spring Games. At East Lansing and South Bend, Michigan State and Notre Dame alums, now in the pro ranks or just out for an afternoon's workout, will challenge the collegians in fullfledged gridiron warfare. At many other institutions the same pattern will be followed, but at Michigan the Wolverines will, according to their tradition, end the spring with the annual intra-squad game. Some Michigan fans have requested a change to an Alumni- Varsity game, but to no avail. Are there good reasons why Michigan still continues to play intra- squad games when other sehools have found the Varsity-Alumni games to be far more popular and generally satisfying? Michigan Coach Bump Elliott has admitted that there are certain advantages in an alumni game. Sitting in his office, speaking over the noise generated from the movie projector in the adjoining room, where the rest of his staff was screening the current squad, and in between phone calls from high school coaches and alumni Elliott said, "There is no question that there is great fan interest in an alumni contest. It's more like a real game and more people will come to see it." Reflecting for a moment he went on, "Then too, it keeps you closer to your recent alumni, fellows like Ron Kramer and Tom Maentz. The experience gained in an alumni game is probably greater than that from an intra-squad game, but there are reasons why we do continue with an intra-squad game." . ELLIOTT WAS, HOWEVER, equally quick in pointing out why he and his staff favor the present arrangement. "In the first place an old timer's game disrupts the training schedule. Getting ready for a game is like preparing for a regular season contest rather than working on individuals for the coming season, which is, after all our objective in spring practice." "In such a game we would only be able to play about 40 of our 90 players,' he said..- - "Under the current set up we can completely analyze all of our players and see exactly who we want to invite back for the fall work- outs," Elliott mentioned. The youthful coach also added that the danger of injury was also diminished in an intra-squad game. 17ESE THEN ARE the essential reasons why the Wolverines, like a dwindling number of other schools, keep on playing intra-squad games. With past results as a guide it is actually hard to see why any complaints have been registered. Last year Elliott, in his initial year in charge, divided his staff into two groups, let them choose up sides and play ball. The result was an exciting 22-21 game played before 8,000 fans, which was decided in the waning moments of play. This year the losing coaches of last spring's battle asked for a rematch, Elliott happily agreed, the teams have been selected and are now ready for action. As Elliott said, the idea of spring practice is to analyze the indi- viduals who will comprise the squad for the fall. An intra-squad game according to Elliott is the best way to do this. The game starts at 2 p.m. Saturday afternoon. Admission is free. It should be a good game. BIG GAME SATURDAY-Head Coach Bump Elliott (third from left) will be an interested observer Saturday when his squad divides for its annual intra-squad game. Coaching the Whites will be (second from the left) Bob Holloway, (third from the right) Jack Nelson and (far right) Don Dufek.

Spring Grid Battle SaturdayJ By The Associated Press The Washington Senators ended Cleveland's winning streak at five games with a 7-6, ninth-inning, victory over the Indians last night that left the Chicago White Sox all alone in the American League lead. Chicago's defending champs won 5-3 at Baltimore for a half-game edge over the New York Yankees, who tumbled the Detroit Tigers to their seventh consecutive defeat 10-3. Boston beat Kansas City 4-3 in 10 innings. in the National League, first- place Pittsburgh wasn't scheduled, and rain postponed second place San Francisco's game with Mil- waukee. Cincinnati led 1-0 after three innings in a night game at Los Angeles. The Philadelphia Phillies de- feated the Chicago- Cubs ,10-9 on rookie Ken Walters'- ninth-inning homer, his first in the majors. Washington, blowing a 4-0 first- inning lead, finally stopped the Injuns on Lenny Green's fly ball that fell for a single in right field after a single by Earl Battey and a bunt by Don Mincher. Tito Francona drove in three runs for Cleveland, now third, a game be- hind. Jack Kralick (2-0) was the winner and Bob Tiefnauer (0-1)' the loser. The White Sox, winning six of their last seven, dropped the Orioles out of a virtual first place tie to fourth as southpaw Billy Pierce (2-1) went all the way with a 10-hitter. The Sox scored a pair of unearned runs in the second and wrapped it up with two in the third on doubles by Nellie Fox and Minnie Minoso and a single by Roy Sievers. Bill Skowron, Roger Maris and pinch-hitter Kent Hadley hit home runs for the Yankees, who made half of their 14 hits good for extra bases against loser Don Mossi (0-2) and three relivers. Gil McDougald, Maris and Art Ditmar, winning his first in relief of Whitey Ford, each had RBI singles in a clinching three-run third. An error-by first baseman Norm Siebern gave the Red Sox the payoff run that sent the A's to their fifth straight defeat. Bud Daley (1-2) lost it and Bill Mon- bouquette (2-2) won it, both in relief. ]Hajor League Standings NATIONAL LEAGUE W L Pct. 01B Pittsburgh ....12 4 .750 San Francisco ..11 5 .688 1 Milwaukee ....8 6 .571 3 St. Louis ....... 8 7 .533" 3%/ x-Los Angeles .. 8 8 .500 4 Philadelphia ... 6 It .353 6% Chicago .....5 11 .313 7 x-Cincinnati ... 5 11 .313 1 YESTERDAY'S RESULTS Milwaukee at San Francisco (rain) Philadelphia 10, Chicago 9 a-Cincinnati at Los Angeles (inc.)

Handling the White squad will be line coach Bob Holloway, as- sistant backfield coach Jack Nel- son and frosh coach Don Dufek, while backfield coach Hank Fonde and assistant line coach Jack Fouts will handle the Blues. Head Coach Bump Elliott will be an interested observer. The coaches have already "chosen sides" and are now pre- paring their respective squads for the contest. Blue coaches Fonde and Fouts will be seeking revenge for the 22-21 defeat they suffered last spring. As usual the spring game will give local fans a preview peek at next fall's sophomores, and ac- cording to Elliott a lot of them will see action Saturday. He said "There will be a lot of new faces on our second and third strings next fall. In fact, I wouldn't be surprised if a couple sophomores made the first team." The Michigan coach also indi- cated that the Wolverines would use three separate teams again next fall. This means "the Raid- ers," the third string defensive unit that gained the fancy of the fans last fall, will see action once again.

Guards Paul Paulos and Lou Pavloff, halfbacks Paul Raeder and Mike Agee, tackle Paul Schmidt and fullback Dave Mongeau will also miss the game because of injuries. Elliott seemed pleased with the overall work of his squad so far this spring, although he wasn't happy with the results of Satur- day's scrimmage during which Michigan's wing-T offense failed to get rolling. "We weren't executing our plays smoothly and didn't look well at all," said Elliott. "However, I am hoping we can come up with a good offensive show for Satur- day's game. Last year's 22-21 con- test was a real crowd pleaser and I hope we can come up with an- other good game this spring." 1 J s 1 l 1 c 1 7 3 WAYNE STATE AB R H E RI Thow,if-......... 3 0 1 0 0 a-Agin........... 10 0 00 Reggio, s .... 2 0 0 1 0 Riggs, rf ......... 3 0 1 2 0 b-Kump "........1 0 0 0 0 Lavn, 2b......... 3 0 0 1 0 c-Hassinger...... 1 0 0 0 0 Inman, cf........3 0 0 0 0 d-Lappeus....... 0 0 0 0 0 Conrad,c........ 3 0 1 1 0 Cook,lb.......... 2 0 0 0 0 verMeersch, lb .. 0 0 0 0 0 Neubacher, 3b ... 3 0 0 0 0 Schore, p......... 2 0 0 0 0 Strausborger, p .. 0 0 0 0 0 e--Mazzela ......=1 0 0 0 0 Joelsonp...... 0 0 0 0 0 TOTALS........28 0 3 5 0 a-grounded out for Thow in 8th b-grounded out for Riggs in 9th c-flyed out for Lavin in 9th d-walked for Inmnan in 9th e-grounded out for Strousborger in 8th MICHIGAN ....002 003 001 - 6 5 1 Wayne State ...000 000 000 - 0 3 5 BY r r r r I k r 11 waer Go AFTER SIX formal! 2b Roman, Franklin; SB Hood, Roman, Brown; SF Syring; LOB MICHIGAN 4, Wayne State 6; HP Danovich (by Schore); DP Struc- zewski, Kucher and Roman; Ro- man (unassisted); Lavin, Reggio, and Cook; PB Syring; WP Joelson.

June is almost upon us-June, the month of brides. Have you got yours yet? If not, don't de- spair. You don't have to be rich or handsome to get a girl. All you have to be is kind, 'considerate, thoughtful, and obliging- in short, a gentleman. For example, don't ever call a girl for a date at the last min- ute. Always give her plenty of advance notice-like three months for a coke date, six months for a movie, a year for a prom, two years for a public execution. This shows the girl that she is not your second or third choice and also gives her ample time to select her costume. And when you ask for a date, do it with a bit of Old World gallantry. A poem, for instance, is always sure to please a young lady, like this. I think you're cute, Daphne La France. I'll put on a suit, And take you to a dance. In the unlikely event that you don't know any girls named Daphne La France, try this: I think you're cute, Winifred Jopp. I'll put on a suit, And take you to a hop. In the extremely unlikely event that you don't know a Win- fred Jopp either, try this: I think you're cute, Isabel Prall. I'll put on a suit, And take you to a ball. -/ I '.I I Cumberbund-tie sets $495 Emergency rental service available ( I STATE STREET AT LIBERTY 1 -II 7i I'01
