The split left the Wolverines with a final Big Ten mark of 7-7. The Badgers, who beat Michi- gan State Friday, 1-0, now stand at three wins and four losses. They finished their Conference schedule with a single game at Ohio State and a doubleheader at Indiana next weekend. In the first game, Michigan, who had collected only two hits for the -first six innings off of Simon, punched three singles and a double with a pair of walks to score four times in the seventh. They might have scored more,! but Bob Kucher tried to score' from first on Dick Syring's double to the leftfield fence and was thrown out at the plate. Kucher entered the game in second inning taking over for Barry Marshall who re-injured his right leg while fielding a ground ball. The four-run rally gave Michi- gan the lead for the first time in the game. Nick Liakonis then came on to shut out the Badgers for the last three Innings preserving Gordon Rinckey's first Big Ten win of the year.

The Bad- gers had clouted McGinn for six hits and three runs in the first three innings. Michigan also came from be- hind in the seventh-inning night- cap only to see its efforts go to waste as Wisconsin scored twice in the bottom of the seventh. Senior Bill Marshall in his first trip to the plate in three years for Wisconsin, lined a pinch- single to center field with the bases loaded to chase home the winning run. Michigan pitcher Jack Mogk had walked Dalej Hackbart with one out and then yielded singles to Ron Steiner and Dick Stivers to tie the score. Strategy Failed Dick Van Eerden had been in- tentionally walked to fill the bases, but the strategy backfired when Marshall batting for Dick Hemming singled to end the game. The Wolverines had gone ahead in the sixth on a double by Bill Roman and a sacrifice fly by Dave Brown. - Hemming pitching in relief of starter Marty Stillman won it. The doubleheader ended a The doubleheader ended a rather disappointing season for the Wolverines whose title hopes were smashed the second week- end of the season when defend- ing champion Minnesota handed them 1,1-3 and 10-1 defeats. While the Wolverines are taking exams* next weekend, several of the Big Ten teams whose exams don't begin until later in June, will be finishing off their Big Ten schedule.

Thanks to this stretch battle, the first four finish- ers were all under the Olympic qualifying time. Atterberry, Pur-j due's Dave Mills, and Iowa's John Brown all completed the lap in less than :47.6. Kerr failed, however, to better the Big Ten standard of :45.8 set by world - record - holder Glenn Davis of Ohio State. In the half-mile, Kerr dropped to last place with Ergas Leps of Michigan. Michigan State's Brian Castle and Michigan's Tony Seth took the early lead. At the 660- yard mark Leps advanced to fourth and then Kerr passed him and moved in behind Castle and Seth. In the final 60 yards, Kerr and teammate Ted Beastall moved around these two and came home in that order with Seth a few inches behind and Leps pushing hard for fourth. Kerr's winning time here was 1:51.6 which was 1.6 seconds slow- er than the Conference mark he set in Ann Arbor last year, but still an excellent time considering his earlier effort in the 440. Leps' time of 1:53.4 was excep- tional for a runner who had com- pleted four trips around the track only 40 minutes before to win the mile. In the mile, again hanging oz the lead until the last 60 yards, Leps kicked home past Illinois' Jim Bowers to hit the tape in 4:12.4, eight yards in the lead. This was the best time of his career and avenged his indoor defeat by Bow- ers. Best Efforts Several other Michigan competi- tors recorded their best marks in the pressure of the big meet. Tom Robinson equaled his prior :09.4 clocking in the 100-yard dash at about the same time as Steve Williams was clearing the high jump bar 6'7%" off the ground. Just before this, husky Ray Locke had shoved the shot 55'"Y2 through the air. In the century sprint, Robinson got a slow start and caught In- diana's Eddie Miles but 20 yards from the tape. In the 220, Robin- son was the winner right from the start. There had been some hint of a limp in his finish in the 100 and the Michigan fans were anxi- ous about his vulnerable left thigh. But he quickly cancelled Miles' outer lane lead and beat Mills and Atterberry by five yards in :21.4. Later he confessed that his leg was indeed very painful and that he'd just "gutted" the last 30 yards. He made the supreme effort to gain the victories he should have had last year but for the same leg trouble. Williams Wins At the high jump pit, Williams was having his best day ever. After passing the 5'10" height, he cleared the next six levels in only seven tries. When both LeRoy Johnson and indoor champ Reggie Shepard of Indiana missed a try at 6'4", he leaned back easily and responded. to questioning teammates that "Nothing's bothering me - not even the wind. I feel great." He felt even better, though, after he had cleared 6'1/4" and neither Sheppard nor Johnson were suc- cessful. This was the height that his coach Don Canham won the NCAA championship with in 1940 and the height to be marked as the new Young Field record. Locke had the best qualifying throw in the shot put until Illi- nois' Bill Brown took his last heave. In the finals, Locke tried too hard the first time and fouled. But secure in the exclusive knowl- edge of his 55'6" put in practice last week, he sent the ball on the winning 55'2" flight on his next try. Illinois Wins Relay As Illinois' point total went up and the rain came down, the mile relay teams went to the post with the meet already decided. Start- ing Len Cercone held Michigan just inches behind MSU's Jim Carr as he passed to Marsh Dickerson. Illinois' Ed Houston followed Dickerson into first place and gave Del Coleman an eight, yard ad- vantage. Michigan's third man, Bryan Gibson, ran a spectacular lap in overtaking Coleman and opened up a 12 yard lead for anchor man Seth. But the day belonged to Kerr and after a slow pass, he set out to catch the tiring Seth. At the 220 mark he was only eight yards, back, but in a finish surpassing all others of the day, he conquered Seth in the turn and crossed the line seven yards ahead. * I Tied at 22 Apiece TANDING in the rain outside of Spartan Stadium was a stubby little man with a well satisfied look on his face and a champion ship trophy under his arm. The man was Illinois track coach Leo Johnson whose squad had Just run off with their third consecutive Big Ten outdoor title and their seventh in the last 10 years. And it was the second year in a row that Johnson's Illini had bounced back from an indoor defeat at the hands of Don Canham's Wolverines. "It was a terrific meet," said Johnson. "It's a shame that Bennie McRae was unable to run today. If he would have been in there, the outcome of the meet would have been a tossup. A reporter asked Johnson what he thought of George Kerrs performance. Choosing his words carefully, the Illinois coach said "He did one hell of a job. Any time a guy can go out and run a quarter like that--Kerr's time was :46.1-and then come back to win the half mile and anchor the win- ning relay team, he is doing just that." Kerr, a short well-built native of Jamaica, also seemed happy with his afternoon's work. He said, "I guess I would have to say that today was the best day of my track career. "I was glad the weather turned out so well. They were predicting rain all week and when it rained so badly Thursday I thought the track would be in bad shape but it wasn't." Kerr looked a little tired after his exhausting and spectacular performances. He indicated that he would get plenty of rest before the Illini take a crack at the NCAA championships in June.- . .. After that his sights are set on Rome where he hopes to.compete for the Jamaican Olympic team. Kerr said, "I am not quite sure what I will run at Rome. I will enter either the 400 or 800 meters or possibly both." GEORGE KERR Michigan Coach Don Canham . -his best ay didn't seem to think it made any difference which Olympic race Kerr entered. He said, "George can win either the 400 or 800 meters, whichever one he chooses to enter" Canham agreed with rival coach Johnson that it had been a "terrific" meet. "There were some really fine performances on both sides," said Canham. "I was especially proud of our sophomores, Ray Locke, Steve Williams and Ergas Leps, all of whom took firsts. Locke, who is finally beginning to show the potential that so many people say he has, tossed the 16-pound shot 55'" to edge arch-rival Bill Brown of Illinois. In high school Locke tossed the 12-pound shot over 60 feet and was rated as one of the top pros-- pects in the nation. However, it was not until late this winter that Locke really began to work out seriously and that work began to bear fruit yesterday. With two years of eligibility remaining, he could become one of the finest shot putters in Michigan history. Another Wolverine yearling who could rewrite some Michigan records in the next two years is Williams, who leaped 6'7%" to annex the high jump crown. Leps' victory in the mile was the least surprising of the three sophomore victories. The Canadian runner has posted fine times all season and it was only a matter of time before he won his first Big Ten crown. Canham was, of course, disappointed that another. sophomore, Bennie McRae, could not compete. The Newport News star was given a good chance of winning both hurdle crowns, but was unableto even attend the meet because of an injury suffered in Friday's preliminaries. The day's most courageous performance, however, was put on by sprinter Tom Robinson whose leg was also taped. After winning the 100-yard dash in the fine time of :09.4, the Bahaman speedster limped badly off the track. Yesterday's victory gave the Illini their 22nd Big Ten outdoor track crown, a mark that is equalled by Michigan. This sets up a battle for the all-time as well as the Conference crown next spring. However, 30 minutes later, obviously bothered by pain, Robinson was back at the blocks for the start of the 220. Off to a good start, Robinson grabbed an early lead and then held on to win a race that he himself didn't think he could finish.

Pontiac Central scored in eight different events as they rolled up 44 points to edge Flint Northern by three in the team standings. Third place Birmingham, far be- hind the pace setters with 18, was closely followed by Ann Arbor with 16, Saginaw Arthur Hill 15 and Muskegon 14. The remaining points were scattered widely among the other competing schools. Pontiac was led by Leon Prentis and Bredell Pritchett, who scored their team's only firsts. Prentiss took a first in the 120 high hurdles besides placing second in the 180 yard lows. Pritchett turned in one of the two records of the meet with a record shattering heave of I III i
