N £/qA, 5 uA/ 5 , By -DAVE ANDREWS Michigan's baseball team swings back into action today after a week's rest as they host fourth place Indiana at Ferry Field at 3:30. With their own title hopes ruined by the doubleheader loss to Minnesota two weeks ago and the split in last Saturday's twin bill with Michigan State, the Wolver- ines find themselves in the role of the spoiler. Six Gamee Left Going into the last six games of the season, Michigan meets the Hoosiers this afternoon and Ohio State tomorrow, and then takes to the road for games at North- western and Wisconsin next week- end. All four of these teams have title aspirations. The Hoosiers on the basis of their split with Min- nesota last week have to be con- sidered, and because of the usual rainouts, Ohio State and North- western each with only loss are sure to be factors. Wisconsin is still unbeaten, but they have only played one game. Today Coach Don Lund will use left-hander Bob Marlereau against the Hoosiers who are expected to Wolverine Statistics BATTING counter with either Paul Michaelsj or Paul Deem.

Perigo plans to get his master's degree and then go into administration or personnel work. GERRY DUBIE ... number ofie man Giants Blank Philhies, 1-0-; Tigers' Game Rained Out SPORTS BEAT by TOM WITECKI A New Career .. . One of the "nice" guys on the Michigan sports scene resigned from his job Wednesday night. After 26 years of coaching, Bill Perigo is going to try his hand in a field that has always appealed to him-personnel and admin- istration. Perigo indicated that he will get a master's degree in physical education at Michigan before seeking a job on either the college or the junior college level. Perigo said, "I plan to be employed somewhere in the University while I'm working on my degree; right now, I'm not sure whether it will be in the athletic department or not." The past year was a bad one for Michigan basketball, and Perigo. The team was hard hit by injuries, academic ineligibilities and ill- nesses throughout the season. There probably was never a year when more different men played on the starting five. Perigo said, "We never have had a real deep team in the eight years I have been here at Michigan, but somehow we have always managed to get by without any serious trouble. This year we didn't." "I have to give a lot of credit to the guys who did play this year; their morale was always high. Even if we got beat real bad the game before, the boys would always bounce right back and be in there trying." Bue there were better years during Perigo's eight year reign, last year for instance. With George Lee, M. C. Burton and John Tidwell leading the way the Wolverines surprised a lot of people and finished in a tie for second in the Big Ten standings. The squad's 15-7 record was the best established during Perigo's tenure. However, it is the 1956-57 squad that gives Perigo his fondest memories. Members of this year's senior class, freshmen at the time, will remember that season as the one Michigan finished like champ- ions. The Wolverines led by Ron Kramer put on two terrific late sea- son performances to whip Indiana and Michigan State who were Conference co-champions that year. A Memorable Evening .. . The game against the Spartans was particularly memorable. It was the final contest of the season and Michigan State needed a victory for undisputed possession of the Conference crown. Every nook and cranny in Yost Fieldhouse was jammed an hour before game time. The Wolverines had beaten the powerful Spartans earlier in the 'season and the fans wanted to see them do it again. And they did. With Kramer putting on a great farewell perform- ance, the Wolverines snapped the Spartan win streak at 10 with a stirring 82-71 victory. Reminiscing Perigo said, "They were a great bunch of kids. It was too bad that we didn't get started earlier in the season, we might have won the title." Right now Perigo is working on future Michigan teams. Carry- ing out his duties until the end of the spring semester, Perigo is in- volved in one of his most important duties, recruiting. This is the time of year that Big Ten athletic tenders are given out and Perigo is hard at work, lining up talent for next year's fresh- men team. It would be somewhat ironic if Perigo was successful in landing one or two of the 6'7" plus high school stars he will be talking to during the next few weeks. For Perigo's perennial problem during his eight year reign was lack of a real big man to play the pivot. No matter how hard Perigo tried he never succeeded in luring one of these giants to enter-and stay in-school. Without a Walt Bellamy, Archie Dee, or Joe Ruklick Michigan was always handi- capped at this position. Although he is looking forward to his new career in personnel and administration, Perigo seemed sad about leaving the coaching ranks. "It was always a lot of fun working with the boys and I en- joyed every minute of it," said Perigo.

The Chicago White Sox clung to their lead in the American League, although beaten 1-0 by the Boston Red Sox, who got a 2-hit pitching feat from Tom Brewer. They held a 1/12 game edge over Boston and the Cleve- land Indians, who handed the New York Yankees their third straight setback in extra innings 3-2 on Russ Nixon's home run in the 11th. Detroit at Washington and Kansas City at Baltimore were rained out. Duplicates Jones' Job Sanford, duplicating the 2-hit performance of teammate Sam Jones on Wednesday, struck out 11 Phillies and walked three. The Giants, who have won six straight, scored in the fifth when catcher Hobie Landrith singled home Wil- lie Kirkland, who had collected the first hit off Robin Roberts, the loser. The Braves beat the St. Louis Cardinals 4-3 on Eddie Mathews' home run, his sixth of the season for Milwaukee, came in the eighth after the Cards had tied the score 3-3 on three walks and a sacrifice fly. Bob Rush was the winner in relief on Bob Buhl. The loser was Larry Jackson. The Redlegs scored seven runs in the first inning and six in the second off four Cub pitchers. Bob Anderson took the defeat while Bob Purkey, who hurled a 6-hitter, was the victor. Pete Runnels hit a bases-loaded single in the ninth inning for the Red Sox' tight squeak triumph over the White Sox.
