Draw, 13-13
In Grid Game
The Wolverine football squad yes-
terday afternoon played a last prac-
tice game in the stadium before its
big spring game next Saturday. El-
mer Madar of the White squad pulled
his team into a 13-13 tie with the
Blues by intercepting a pass on the
last play and returning it 40 yards
to score.
For the entire first quarter the
two teams battled to a standstill.
Then early in the second period a
series of passes from tailback Cliff
Wise to end Otto Chady and right
half BobiKresja carried the Blues
to the five-yard line, from which
point Wise plunged over the double
stripe. The extra point was made
on a quick-breaking pass from Wise
to Kresja.
Late in the same quarter the
White squad used an almost iden-
tical formula to tie the score. Norm
Call passed 30 yards to end Whitey
Fraumann, who was downed on the
six-yard line. Then Call sliced off
tackle for a touchdown on the next
play,eand tackle Rudy Sengel con-
verted by place-kicking.
In the last half the Blues resorted
almost exclusively to a passing game,
but its success in bringing them six
points on a long heave from left v.f
Frank Day to right half Paul Gan-
natel was later nullified when Elmer
Madar of the Whites ended the
game with his Frank Merriwell feat.

MEMPHIS, TENN., May 11.-(A)--
Bespectacled Chuck Fenske, Univer-
§ity of Wisconsin distance ace, surged
into a brilliant finish sprint tonight
to win the invitation Crump mile in
the Cotton Carnival track meet in
four minutes, eight and three-tenths
seconds for a new meet record.

second on a walk, an infield out and
a single by Ralph Waldo, and an-
other tally in the ninth when he is-
sued two more passes followed by an
infield out and a fly to the outfield
by pinch-hitter Mark Kilmer. But
in between those two Buckeye tal-
lies, Lyle gave the visitors only one
hit.
Michigan's two weekend victories,
combined with the double setback
meted out to Iowa by Northwestern,
turned the Big Ten pennant race
into a mad scramble and boosted
the Varsity into third place, but
a half game behind the pace-setting
Wildcats and Hawkeyes, with an
outside chance of capturing the Con-
ference championship.
The Wolverines lost little time in
tying the score after Ohio State had
opened the scoring in the second.
Fred Trosko started Michigan's half
of the inning by beating out a hit
to deep second. Trosko stole second
as Dornbrook retired Nelson and
Ruehle, and dented home plate when
left fielder Jim Sexton muffed
Harms' liner for a two-base error.
Harms also touched off Michigan's
big splurge in the fifth inning with
a single to right field. Bond sacri-
ficed the Varsity backstop to sec-
ond, and when Pink walked a mo-
ment later, Harms took advantage of
some laxity on the part of the
Buckeye battery to steal third base.
Sofiak then came through with
his timely rap that scored Harms
and sent Pink to third base. Imme-
diately afterward Mike proceeded to
steal second. Forest Evashevski
smashed a hit off third baseman
Wayne Heafner's glove to bring in
Pink, whereupon Evie quickly as-
sumed the motif and pilfered sec-
ond base.
Bill Steppon followed with a loop-
ing hit to center that chased home
Sofiak and Evashevski with Mich-
igan's fourth and fifth runs for the
afternoon. Fron that point on,
)ornbrook, making his second mound
appearance against the Wolverines
in as many days, vainly held the
Varsity hitless, as lis own mates
were being mowed down by Bond.
Bud Chamberlain, who injured the
last two fingers on his throwing hand
sliding into first in Friday's game,
had to relinquish the third base
job to Nelson for the day.

denbach lengthened the margin in
the anchor leg to romp home the
winner.
Charlie Decker, Michigan sopho-
more pole vaulter, and Mike Linta
of Ohio pushed themselves up to
13 feet two inches to tie for first
place.
Sprinter Al Smith duplicated his
time in the Illinois meet in running
the 100-yard dash in 9.9t, while he
was runner-up to Sulzman in the

Bench Warmer..
It isn't all so hot, this bench warm-
ing job, neighbors, and we found that
out yesterday afternoon.
We were quite enthused when Ray
Fisher asked us to sit in the dug-
out as his Wolverines went to work
against the Ohio State forces for the
second straight day. We felt sure
that no doubt the coach had heard
of our great record with the Coventry
School Indians, a crack grammar
school outfit around our home. We
thought perhaps he wanted to give
Evashevski the day off. They always
had used us in right field during a
those halcyon days 4th the Indians,
that is, unless there were nine other
kids around.
And so when we took our place
in the dugout just before the
game time, we were proud and
hopeful. They passed out some
gum and we grabbed a stick. It
gets pretty hot out there in right,
we thought.
Fisher asked Bond how he felt, and
we waited. Maybe we could take
care of the pitching duties. But un-
fortunately the bespectacled hurler
responded "swell," so we let it go at
that. Mike Sofiak sauntered in and
relaxed next to the water bucket. He
looked tired. We could see that. He
needed a rest. There was our chance.
Shortstop is a swell spot, and when
Ray asked Mike where he had been
all morning, we got ready to rush
into the locker room and put on a
uniform. But, alas, the cards were
against us. Little Mike replied, "I
was sleeping all morning, coach. Get-
ting some rest for the game."
And with a disappointed and
rather envious feeling, we sat
back on the bench as the lucky
nine men in grey rushed onto the
field, It was a rather funny sit-
uation too, cause while we were
pulling for these nine men to
win, we were hoping that maybe
just one of them would do some-
thing wrong so we'd get our
chance. Probably all of us bench
warmers have gone through the
same thing.
Well, we started to tell Fisher about
our abilities and pretty soon he got
so interested he momentarily forgot
about the game, and to and behold,
he forgot to tip Harms off on a Buck-
eye lad who was about to steal sec-
ond, and to and behold, the Buck-
eye lad slid in farther ahead of the
ball than Bimelech was ahead of
Mioland. So we figured the best
thing to do was to move a row back
and a little to the right of the coach
before he got too sore. And there we
remained, just another unsung hero,
the guy the newspaper men are al-
ways talking about, the bench warm
er.
We did our part in the victory,
let there be no question about
that. Take the fifth, for example.
One of the Buckeyes cracked the
ball deep into center. Ray yelled,
"get back, Charley." Getting the
cue, we rose from the bench and
shouted the same thing, but loud.
Pink moved in two steps and

grabbed it at his knees. "Guess
Charley knows where it is bet-
ter than we do," said Fisher. We
were quiet.
And so we gave up the idea of get-
ting into the game and decided that
maybe we could replace the guy in
blue who was umpiring behind the
plate.It was the first time he had
ever worked a game here, and the
players were far from satisfied with
his work, it seemed. Besides being
half-blind, he was too small to see
over the Buckeye catcher's head.
Every time a high fast one came
over, he shot his head way back and
yelled, "strike."
In the fourth, three Wolverines
went to the plate and three Wol-
verines marched back again,
strike-out victims. Freddie Tros-
ko, the last of the triumvirate,
watched the third one float by,
took an ugly look at the umpire
and paraded back to the bench.
"I don't mind the guy calig
that second strilke a ball," he
shouted into the dugout, "but he
can't expect to get away with
calling that fourth ball a strike."
Well, Ray decided that we wouldn't
make a much better umpire, so we
bade farewell and went to see the
football players across the railroad
tracks.

"squared himself" today.
Rebounding from his dismal failure
in the Kentucky Derby a week ago,
Col. E. R. Bradley's pride of the
blue grass roared back in the golden
jubilee running of the Preakness to,
make every pole a winning one and
gallop home two lengths in front be-
fore a crowd estimated at 55,000, the
largest turnout in*Maryland's racing
history.
He drove down the stretch with his
tongue sticking out of the side of his
mouth, as usual, and nothing else
was even close, while Col. Bradley,
whose health forbade his appearance
at Churchill Downs last Saturday,
sat in a grandstand box and smiled his
satisfaction at "this greatest horse I
ever owned." Bimmie was clocked in
1:58.3 for the mile and three six-
teenths, nearly two seconds off the
track record.
It was a horse race for only the
first 50 yards, when Charles S. How-
ard's Oregon-bred Mioland broke
from the electric gate in front and
Bimelech got away fifth in the field
of nine. By the time they passed
