3Miller Faces Stewart Again,
Stewart despite his four winning
games in the Conference, can hardly
be called a better pitcher than Mil-
ler. His curve ball is so wide and
sweeping that it is little short of
impossible for any collegian to con-
trol. Moreover, Michigan has hit him
hard in the very early innings of both
games in which he has hurled against Wi
the Wolverines
Opinions have been advanced that
when Corriden was called out on
strikes by Umpire Greene in the first
inning of the Illini game here re-
cently, at that time, with Loos on
third and Weintraub on first, did the
Wolverine hopes vanish. A hit at this
opportune moment might have sent
Stewart back to the showers as be-

fore. Instead, he was granted the j
corner on called strikes and the weak j
hitting Wolverines crumbled and
were mowed down with regularity.

Four Big Ten Meets EWI G|||

Track Teams Today HOOSIERS TODAY


All of the Conference track teams
swing into action today in three dual
and one quadrangle meets, and the re-
sults will go a long way toward de-
termining the potential strength of!
each team for the Big Ten champion-
ship meet to be held two weeks from
today at Madison, Wisconsin.
The fourth annual quadrangle meet
at Evanston should be closely con-
tested since Ohio State and Wisconsin,
two of the foremost contenders for
the Conference title are entered, while,
either of these teams is picked as the]
winner of today's meet. Chicago and
Northwestern, the other two entries
at Evanston, are much stronger than
last year and are apt to spring a big
surprise.
One of the big features of the meet
'will be the duel'between Burg of Chi-
cago and McGinnis of Wisconsin in
the High jump. The former has clear-
ed 6 feet 5 7-8 inches, while the Wis-
consin athlete has done 6 feet 5 inches
in competition this year.
In one of three dual meets, Iowaj
should have little !trouble in taking'
the measure of Minnesota at Iowa
City.

Michigan's tennis team will en-
deavor to continue its unbroken
string of victories at 2:00 o'clock this
afternoon when the Indiana netmen
invade Ferry field for the first home
Conference match of the 1927 season.
The Wolverines with a 6-1 victory
over Ohio State in their first Big Ten
match are considered favorites over
the Hoosiers who failed to capture a
single point in their recent contest
with the Cincinnati university team
and lost to Purdue, 6-14.
As a result of the intensive match
play during the past week the play-
ing order of the Michigan team has
not been determined definitely' but
this afternoon's play will probably
see practically the same team in ac-
tion that played Michigan State on
Wednesday, with the exception of
Goldsmith who is certain to play one
of the singles matches. Barton, .Al-
gyer, and Goldsmith :swill probably
play in the order named, with
Moore, Stephens, Captain Olian, and
Schafer as the other singles possibi-
lities.

FINALISTS DECIDED IN
FRATERNITY BASEBALL
Sigma Alpha Mu and Phi Kappa
Sigma were victorious in the. semi-
final games of the inter-fraternity
baseball league held Thursday at Fer-
ry field. Stern, who pitched for Sigma
Alpha Mu against Alpha Delta Phi,
allowed only one hit and struck out
16 batters, while his team mates hit
hard and gave him good support.
In the only other game played, Phi
Kappa Sigma defeated Sigma Chi 13-1
3 largely due to the poor support giv-
en the Sigma Chi pitcher. The defeat-
ed team also lacked ability to lit in
the pinches.
The finals between Sigma AlphahMu
and Phi Kappa Sigma will be held
Monday afternoon at Ferry field.
