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. rnott "Stars 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 It arounli th& lubag.. The ball lit far b eyond .the center jfielder and .bounded 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 The name of Shackleford plays a TODAY IS "M" DAY. I conspicuous part In the box score of the Iowa game. shack drove out three hits, scored four runs, and has the sum total of I13 putouts to his credit. 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.

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.
