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.

M CLUB BANQUET The M Club banquet will be held] at 6 p.m. today at the Union. ] Dye Hogan, President. * 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- 11 I.I 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. I 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. .Ex- Wolverine Baseball Player prnvoP l T n .-e C,"I fno 11,m Fvi 5. 1l'L'u..OJ NNi thus C 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.
