LIVERANCE ANI GIBSON ShOW
FORM IN WINNING GAMES
By Wiflahe F. Elliott
With a quintet of clean cut victories
and not one defeat, Michigan stands
today at the top of the Big Ten base-
ball title race, and all of those five
wins have been registered against
teams which are, unquestionably, the
strongest diAMond aggregations in the
Conference.
The game Saturday was a beauti-
ful exhibition of real baseball It has
.been a long, long time since the many
thousands who pushed and jammed
themselves inside the gates of Illinois
field have witnessed such a display of
real fighting power by a team playing
on unfamiliar ground against an op-
position audience.
olversnes Pwind Bal Hard
Although both the Indian and Wol-
vorine stickers cracked out a total of
eight blows it is to the latter that the
credit for the best pounding must be
given. Every time a Michigan bat met
an Illinois ball for a safe bingle it
was of the clean cut variety, while the
Illini had to be content on several
occasions wi th infeld hits thbat trickled
off across the field on rabbits' feet.
"Rudy" Ash, the husky. dark boy(
from the southland, was the feature
performer against the Indians. His
trio of hits that were bunched in the
closing innings went a long way to-
ward victory, and It was his beautiful
slide home in thle eighth frame that
started the procession of three runs
that crosae d the plate in tht inning.
3DoughRerty; hidia' , catcher, received
the ball in a wold of time to nick the
dusky star as he flashed toward home,
but Ash flung himself to the right in
a splendid slide and hooked one toe
across the plate inches from Dougher-
ty's attempt to tag him. Incidentally
Ash played a remarkable game in the
field, pocketing threedifficult flies.

But in mentoifning men whose work
was particularly outstanding no words
would be complete without credit, and
a world of it, to Jack Blott, for it
Was his work with the wand in the Il-
Tl~if game tha' tinrted: things in an
all-powerful fashion. Ther is a cur-
ious bit of psychology connected with
his iitial blow. It all happened in
the seventh inning. Mike Paper had i
singled, and just at this point the re-
turns from the track ' meet, showing
Illinois far in the load, were receied
by the announcer. The announcer
pointed his megaphone in the general
direction-of the stands and the plate,
toward which Jack was advancing, and
gave out the news." Jack took one
wicked swing at the first ball pitched
immediately. ollo ng the announce-
ment, -ther was. a resounding crack,
and the pelle4 .sail d 'ff into the dim
distance, .while Mike and Jack hoofed

across a 'corner of,-the football field
onto the distant runiinhg track and be-
tore it was back to the infield Blott
had swung across the home plate and
beaded- for the)bench while the stands,
which ,monen1 before were riotous
over the news of Illinois' lead In track,
were as mute as the proverbial post.
Moreover it was Jack "Blott who was
the leading hitter in=the defeat of Iowa
on Monday. Jack line out three Nits
in four trips to theplate, orne of them'
a triple. With a home' run and a
triple, and 4° tiple And two singles in
a pair of games, Jack certainly proved
jhimself.
"Lenny" Van Boven established
himself firmly in Coach Fisher's good
graces Monday when, after playing a
beautiful game at the second sack
against Illinois, he earned not only a
right to a good part time job in "mur-
Aoerer's row", but also contributed suf-
ficient credientials for membership in
the home run club by his four ply swat
in the third inning against the Hawk-
eyes, scoring Ash and Shackleford be-
fore him. Duhm, the Hawlgeye hurl-
er, wasn't expecting anything so ter-
rific from the bat of a newcomer, and
"Len" upset Duhm's frijoles all over
the field.1

Varsity Pitchers Show Form
A word as to. the pitchers. Liver-
ance has already received a great deal
of mention for his brilliant work
,against IllInois. He demonstrated to
the complete satisfaction of all pres-
ent that when he is right, as he was
against the Indians, he is the master
of the situation in every respect. He
completely outpitched Jackson of I-
lnos who has earned'the reputation
of being the Big .Ten's best. His rec-
ord was not as brilliantly garnished
with strikeouts as that of.the Indian
star, but it w s his complete control
of every situation that made him vic-
torious over the less dependable Jack-
orn.
"Eddie" Gibson proved that his
showing in the first Iowa game was no
Mash in the pan when he held the
Old Gold again, allowing them but
seven scattered hits, only one of them,
a triple by Scantlebury, going for
Imore than one bag.
Some may say, and rightly, that
Michigan met the acid test when Illi-
nois was defeated. But it is not to be
assumed that the' Conference victory
bird has definitely decided upon Mich-
igan for a nesting place. There are at
least two great clouds that she must
pass through and retain her bearings
before she will find the Ann Arbor
tree, for Ohio State and Minnesota
have but one defeat charged against
each of them. The Buckeyes meet
Indiana Saturday and should have no
difficulty there, while the Gophers
will stand or fall with the outcome of
the big contests here, next Friday and
Saturday.

tramural officials last night it was de-

Game FromJcoly's Warriors on
Wet Field
PASSES AND, LON RUNS
WORKED Y BOTh ELEVENS
Playing on a rain soaked field, Cap-
pon's red-jerseyed "Army" eleven de-
feated "Doug" Roby's blue-clad "Navy"
team 14-7 yesterday afternoon on Fer-
ry field, thereby winning the series,
two ganes to none. A light drizzle
toward the end of the contest, add-
ing water to the already wet field was
responsible for several fumbles and
bad passes but for the most part both
teams played good football.
Biacks Show Well
The first quarter opened with Pal-
mer of the "Army" kicking off to Mar-
ion\ who ran the ball back ten yards.
Grubb then made a pretty run around
end for a first down. Herrnstein ran,
dodged, twisted and pivoted his way
to a 30 yard run for a touchdown in
this quarter but a man was caught
holding and the score didn't stand.
Herrnstein followed this run with an-
other of 30 yards for the first score.
Schlakel, "Army" tackle, blocked a
kick at the start of the second quar-
ter but the Blue recovered the loose
ball. Grube went off tackle for 15
yards and Vick threw a 20 yard pass
to Hierholzer on the next play. Grube
brought the ball to the two yard line
and Mote carried it over. Grube scor-
ed the extra point by catching a pass
from Vick, making the score 7-6.
A pass, Palmer to Wetzel, opened
the "Red" offensive in the third quar-
ter. A fumble prevented a score, and
Vick attempted to kick out of danger.
The kick was blocked and recovered by
a "Navy" back who was thrown behind
his own goal post for a safety, mak-
ing the score 8-6 in favor of the "Ar-
my Reds".
Vick hurled a 30 yard pass to
"Dutch" Marion in the final frame,
but this was the only threat to score
made by the "Navy" - The "Army"
then worked a pass, Iawson to Palmer,
which brought the ball tosthefive
yar4I line, "Red" Miller, star back,
then took it across.}-
Marion StarsI
- Perhaps the most outstanding fea-
ture of the day's scrimmage was the
sensational end play of "Dutch" Mar-
ion. This diminutive -flankman smear-
ed the opposing backs before they
could get started and made perhaps
more tackles yesterday than an end
usually gets in two games, Marion
is also a'bearcat in -taking out his
tackle consistently, -enabling - -his
backs to get away w-t fie ball.

A armory before 1928 had hardly had
a chance to blink its eyes and wonder
what kind of a world it had been ush-

Argentine is ready to invade again
with their fastest mounts and hardest

sweeps of Oxford in company with
their English classmates and beat
Cambridge for the first time in years.
Instead of the dull roar of the heavy

seventy-fives, the nations of the world
will listen this year to the ,booming
sound of the service ace and the sharp
crack of the well played approach shot.
The great wrestling record set up by
the strong men of Annapolis pales into
insignificance alongside of the great
