Nebelung and Asbeck, the visiting pitchers, displayed none of the stuff shown by Don Miller in the first con- test and were hit hard and frequent. ly.

Nebelung, the Michi- igan hurler, was replaced in this in- i ing by Asbeck after pitching to six muen. Eisemaun Hits Ioner Syracuse's other six tallies were made in the third, fifth, sixth and seventh innings. In the latter round, Eisemann, the Orange backstop knocked a home run with one on base. Michigan's two counters came in the sixth frame. Morse beat out a hit to shortstop. Weintraub flied out. Corri- den singled to lef and advanced Morse to third. Capt. Puckelwartz tripled to center field, scoring Morse and Corriden but was caught at home base. Kubicek then grounded out. On several other occasions the visitors had a chance to score, but were kept in check] by the fine pitch- ing of George Miner, the home teams hurling ace.

Wins Firsts (Special to The Daily) PHILADELPHIA, April 30.-Capt. Phil Northrop of the University of Michigan was the only athlete to take three places in the thirty-third annual Pennsylvania relays held here today over a soggy turf, winning the javelin, placing second in the broad Jump, and tying for third in the pole vault. Hester, dash star, won the 100 yard dash for Michigan's other place in today's games. Michigan's captain only made one throw with the javelin because of a sore arm, but this was enough to win for him. The distance was 181 feet 71-4 inches. In the broad jump, Northrop took second to Hamm of Georgia Tech who won the event with a leap of 23 feet 7 1-2 inches. Nor- throp's best jump was 22 feet 8 1-2 inches. The pole vault field was one of the best ever assembled at one meet, list- ing at least three men who have done better than 13 feet. Pickard of Pitts- burgh, Canadian titleholder who scored in the last Olympic games, tied for first place with Bradley of Princeton, another 13 foot man, at 12 feet 101-2 inches. Nortrop, Sabin Carr of Yale, and McAtee of Michigan State tied for third at 12 feet 6 ilAphes "Buck" Hester repeated his 1926 victory in the 100 yard dash, beating out Kriss of Ohio State :in the last five yards. It was his second win over the Buckeye in eight days, and the time :10.2 was especially. good over the heavy track. The other two Michigan men in to- day's games, Ketz and Schravesand, failed to place. Ketz fouled twice in the hammer throw which was won by Ide of Penn State. Schravesand barely missed taking third in the discus throw, his throw being seven inches less than that of the third place winner. No Michigan realy teams were entered. Michigan State college's relay teams enjoyed a most successful afternoon, winmning both the class B mile and university half mile relay. An hour after winning the half mile relay from Penn State, Pennsylvania and Mary- land in 1:28.4, three of the victorious team, including - Alderman, returned to. capture the college mile relay in 3:36.

Today's record-making involved two prep school marks and one for colleges. The University of Iowa and Iowa State college, generally known as Ames, carried off the major share of the relays. Iowa defeated Kansas in the university quarter-mile by a ; scant yard, with Missouri in third I place. Iowa covered the distance in 41.8 seconds which tied the relay record established by Kansas in yes- terday's trial. The Hawk-eyes also won the mile event while Ames took the two mile.
