Bachman's Case . .
NEXT OCT. 1, some 80,000 football
enthusiasts will jam their way in-
to the Stadium, duck their bottles
under their coats, and cheer as Mich-
igan and Michigan State do battle on
the gridiron. Take it from those on
the inside, and 80,000 clicks of the
turnstiles is as certain as Esquire's
free publicity. For an early game,
that's quite a gathering.
Last fall, we sat in Charley
Bachman's office and heard the
Michigan State coach give a con-
vincing dissertation on "Why
Michigan and Michigan State"
Should Not Play So Early in the
Season." At the Conference
track meet last week, we talked
to Bachman again, and he re-
iterated his criticism of this early
game on the schedule.
Bachman reasons this way. The
game is a hands-down drawing card,
certain to bring forth a near capacity
crowd. It is the highest point of foot-
ball interest in the State of Michigan.
Both teams are keyed to a tremen-
dous emotional pitch, and the game
is traditionally a good one. But,
claims Bachman, this early game has
its repercussions. First, it results in
a dangerous let-down on the part of
both teams. No coach can keep his
men keyed up for an entire season.

As a convincing example, Bachman
points out that for the last five years,
his teams have followed up the
Michigan game, with losses at the-
hands of inferior teams. Such clubs
as Boston College and Manhattan
have recorded victories over the Spar-
tans, simply because the East Lan-
sing troupe could not maintain the
keen edge of their early Michigan
battle. That the game has had the
same effect on Michigan is undeni-
able, although it's be hard to prove
with the Wolverines losing regularly
-edge or no edge.
Secondly, continues the Spar-
tan coach, football interest in the
state bogs down right along with
the two teams: After Michigan
and Michigan State have played
their game, there's little to look
forward to in the way of intra-
state .rivalry. Therefore, con-
cludes Mr. B., with the game a
certainty as far as gate receipts
are concerned, with football in-
terest in the state a consumma-
tion devoutly to be wish'd, with
psychological let-downs by both
teams apparently inevitable, and
with the possibility that the game
would be even better if both
teams had a few more games un-
der their belts, why not shift it
to a later date?
The argument is undoubtedly aI
convincing one. It most probably
would help both teams immeasurably.
There's just one sticker, however.
That is the assumption that the game
would draw under any circumstances.
It seems hardly likely that should
both teams enter a late October fray
with mediocre records, 80,000 people
would be interested enough to lay
their sheckles on the line. Then too,
what other inaugural game could
possibly draw the crowd that this
one does? Which leads us where?
Nowhere, probably, other than to the
conclusion that the whole thing is a
moot question.

the way. The game lasted only seven
innings by agreement.
Stan Sowa, Minnesota's southpaw
ace, allowed the Wolverines only four
hits in the nightcap and struck out
seven men. A triple by Forest Eva-
shevski, starting his first game be-
hind the plate for Michigan, was the
only extra base blow of the contest.
By splitting the two game series,
the Wolverines ended .their Big Ten
schedule with four wins and six
losses for an average of .400 for the
season. Two games next week con-
clude the season's play. Tomorrow,
the team travels to East Lansing to
play a return game with Michigan
State, while Tuesday they are host
to California here.
Herm Fishman will undoubtedly be
saved for Tuesday's game, which will
be his last in Wolverine uniform, but
Coach Ray Fisher is still undecided
as to his pitcher for the Michigan
State meeting.,

"Pi .elts Oppose
Theta Xi Tuesday
For Softball Title
It will be a typical neighbors' row
next Tuesday afternoon when the
boys from Phi Delta Theta and Theta
Xi lug their bats, ball and gloves
from the Washtenaw-South Univer-
sity sector to Palmer Field to tangle
in the championship tussle of the
I-M/ fraternity softball league.
The Phi Delts will be gunning for
their sixth team title of the year and
the 10 points awarded to the winner
of the tilt which will help them so
much in their race with Psi Upsilon
for the trophy given for high point
total in all year I-M competition.
- The Theta Xi's in turn will be at-
tempting to show their heels to the
boys from across the way whose ath-
letic prowess has caused their A ed
brick fortress to be appropriately
termed "The I-M Annex."
As far as pitching is concerned. it
will be Galloping Tom Harmon, t) e
Phi Delt flash, against Peewee Tom-
my Black, the rolly-polly Theta Xi.
Both boys have gone great guns so
far this year with each of them onv-
ing credit for four wing against no
defeats.
Dick Gerkensmeyer, Bill Mason,
Paul Simpson and Ed Christensen
will carry the weight of the Theta Xi
attack while Larry Barasa, Dolas
White, Jack Meyer and John Yan-
tis will attempt to wield their potent
bats for the Phi Delts.

British Crown
Won By Yates
Atlantan Takes Golf Title
With Birdie On 34th
TROON, Scotland; May 28.-()-
Charley Yates, relying on his heart
when his putter wouldn't work, won
the British Amateur Golf Cham-
pionship today by defeating Cecil
Ewing of Ireland, 3 and 2, in the 36-
hold final, and thus reestablished
Atlanta as the golfing capital of the
United States.
Bobby Jones' cheerful young fel-
low-townsman won it on the 34th
green, and on this green, as indeed
on almost every green, both his heart
and his putter were in good shape.
Gigantic, baldish Ewing, stubborn
and lion-hearted, had cut Yates' lead
to two and, in a last desperate effort,
had exploded out of the sand and
dropped his putt for a par 5. Yates,
after three picture shots, was on the
green in three-eight feet from the
pin.
The crowd of 7,000 fought and el-
bowed for positions around the green.
When Yates addressed his ball, only
two sounds could be heard -- the
washing of the sea on the nearay
shore and the singing of skYlarKs
overhead. It was a fit setting for
the putt that was to come, for Yates
struck the ball squarely into "he cup.
