cage in straight sets 6-1, 6-4. It was
the worst defeat suffered by Durst
this year, as the Chicagoan seemed
to find little trouble in the Wolver-
ine's play.
Chicago, which held a one point
lead over Northwestern going into
today's finals, rode roughshod over
the Wildcats to shut them out with-
out a single individual title.
Chet Murphy, Chicago ace, made
up for the defeat he suffered from
Marv Wachman, of Northwestern
early in the season, by downing him
7-5, 6-3. Wachman piled up a 5-2
lead over Murphy and seemed well
on his way to a victory, when the
Chicago ace suddenly came to life to
win nine straight games, and take
the match.
Fall In Semi-Finals
In the other matches of the tourna-
ment, John Kidwell, Capt. Don Per-
cival, and the doubles team of Steve
Woolsey and Sam Durst were the
only Michigan men to survive the
first round. However, none of them
survived the semi-finals.
Kidwell met up with John Froehl-
ing of Northwestern and lost 6-1, 86.
Chet Murphy, winner of the number
one bracket eliminated Percival, 6-2,
60, while the doubles team lost out
to Richards and Milne of Northwes-
tern.
Wildcats Fail
;Northwestern, the only team given
a chance to defeat the Maroons,
seemed to have an excellent chance to
carry out this task as today's matches
started. The Wildcats had placed as
many men in the finals as the Chica-
go team had, but were totally eclipsed
by the avalanche of Maroon victories.

tallied a run in the last of the seventh
to take the departmental softball
title from the Economics department
by a 6-5 score yesterday. With two
out, and a man on third, an error by
the Ec shortstop let the winning run
across.
The game was bitterly fought all
the way through with the first bit
of dissension coming at the start of
the game when an enraged microbe-
hunter demanded to know who called
him up the night before and inquired
in a milk-and-honey voice whether
the Bacty team would dare to show
up.
Quarrel Is Averted
A quarrel was averted, and the
game commenced.
Sarracino, the bacteria boys' pitch-
er, threw a few balls before the next
argument arose when a suspicious
economist asked the umpire to take
a look to see if the Bactys hadn't
substituted a microbe for the ball.
Investigation proved this charge to
be false though the Ecs claimed theft
the microbe died in the heat of the
argument.
Colberg Is Ringer
The game proceeded rather swiftly
to the second inning, when the finan-
cial wizards made up for the home
run ball their pitcher, Marshall Col-

the first run, and the second came
in when the shortstop was unable to
leap high enough to catch the ball
being thrown (so they say) back to
the pitcher by the catcher.

The flaming car pictured above is that of Bob Swanson as it hung on the outside rail of the Indianapolis
Speedway following Saturday's accident which cost the life of Floyd Roberts and seriously injured Chet Miller,
Detroit driver. Miller's heroism in swerving to avoid the inert body of Swanson, which lay exposed on the
track, was the dramatic highlight of the Classic's 27th running. Wilbur Shaw, veteran driver from Indian-
apolis, won a large share of the lap money and also first place money with his average of 115.035 miles per hour.

By ART HILL
If you walk into the locker room
at Yost Field House about 20 minutes
before a varsity baseball game is
scheduled to begin, you will probably
see a couple of average looking
gentlemen attiring themselves in dark
blue uniforms which might be mis-
taken for conservative business suits.
Then, you notice a mask and wind-
pad lying on the floor nearby and
you realize that these gents are just
a couple of guessers relaxing before
the game. You hover nonchalantly
about the room, half expecting one
of them to say "I think I'll call all
the close ones strikes today," or some-
thing along that line.
Discusses Yank Pace
But the first words you hear are
"Boy, those Yankees are sure burning
up the American League, aren't
they?"
"Why, these guys sound just like
normal human beings," you say to
yourself. So you walk up to one of
them and ask his name. "Bob Knode,"
he says.
"Is umpiringthe only way you can
keep body and soul together?" you
ask.
"No, I like it," is the prompt reply.
You are a bit taken back by this but
you carry on.
Played With Indians
It soon develops that our friend
Knode graduated in 1923 from Michi-
gan where he played first base for
the Wolverines. Subsequently, he saw
five years of service with the Cleve-
land Indians.
After a couple of years in the min-
ors, he decided to give up professional
baseball and became an ump. He's
been calling them for several years
now, and he also handles football in
the fall and basketball in the winter.
Crowds Have Little Effect
Asked whether the crowds ever
bother an ump, Bob replies "Not very
much. You see, when we call one
wrong, no one knows it better than
we do. We take pride in our work
just as the players do. If we're
wrong, we feel badly about it and if
we're right, we don't care what the
crowd thinks."
Then you wonder what Bob thinks
of the Michigan players. You find
out that he thinks big Elmer Gedeon i
is the most improved player on the
team and that, if he keeps on at his
present rate, he has a fine chance to
make the grade in the majors.
