ond-baseman knocked down the
throw, only to be bowled over by
Chamberlain charging across the
base. McFerren went one way, the
ball went the other, and Trosko lit
out for third.
Relief pitcher Johnny Emmert ran
over from the mound, grabbed the
loose ball, and heaved it in the gen-
eral direction of third base to nip
Trosko. The throw was wild and the
fleet Varsity outfielder kept right on
moving to cross the plate with the
winning run.
Jack Barry, on the mound for Mich-
igan, turned in a creditable perform-
ance, but was the victim of some
ragged support on the part of his
mates. The Wolverine ace was en-
joying a 4-1 lead when his defense
crumbled in the sixth.,
A single by Johnny Vernon sand-
wiched between errors by Mike Sofiak
and Chamberlain filled the bases.
Frank Smithson then slapped a single
to center to make the score 4-3.
In the seventh, Felix Mackiewicz
reached second on a freak double thata
bounced off Sofiak's glove into short
left field. Another hit through So-
fiak by Vernon tied the score.
Michigan regained the lead in the
last half of the inning when Cham-
berlain beat out an infield hit, stole
second, moved to third on an infield
out, and scored on George Harms'
fly to center field.
Purdue threatened in the eighth,
but a fine throw from Trosko to
Harms nailed Fisher trying ,to score
from second on Emmert's single to
left.
The Varsity defense cracked again
in the ninth to enable Purdue to
draw even. Bill Steppon fumbled
cFerren's grounder to put the run
on base. Wayne Hearne sacrificed
and Barry uncorked a wild pitch to
send McFerren to third from where
he scampered home on Mackiewicz's
dribbler to the infield.
Michigan's victory lifted the team
into a third place tie with the idle
Iowa nine, but still left the Wolver-
ines one game behind Northwestern
and, Illinois who defeated their re-
spective Wisconsin and Indiana op-
ponents.

(Continued from Page 1)
Stickel the most competition in thet
100, while Michigan's Stan Kelleyr
will push him in the low barrier1
event.
Kelley rates the favorite's role in
the 120-yard high hurdles, having
an edge over Pitt's Joe Newman and
Lenny Powell.
In the half-mile Michigan's Dye
Hogan should edge out the Panthers'
best man, Del Anderson, as well as
the Maize and Blue sophomore,
Johnny Kautz.
A close duel looms in the pole
vault with Pitt's Dusty Rhoades and
Michigan's Charlie Decker both ca-
pable of bettering 13 feet. Senior
Dave Cushing should beat out Pan-
ther Maurice Jessup for third.
Between them Pittmen John Bazyk
and Jim Elliott should cop the shot
put and javelin throw, with the dis-
cus throw a tossup between Bazyk
and Michigan's George Ostroot.
Wolverine Don Canham will be an
overwhelming favorite over Pitt's in-
consistent Dave McDowell in the
high jump.
Pitt's best distance man, Al Bou-
langer, doubles' in the mile and two-
mile, but does not figure to win ei-
ther this afternoon. Tom Jester and
sophomore Bill Ackerman should
fight it out for the two-mile, while
Ed Barrett and Karl Wisner are the
choices to place one-two in the mile
for Michigan.
If Ohl does not enter .the 440-yard
dash, Michigan's undefeated Warren
Breidenbach should nose out his
teammate, Jack Leutritz, for first,
with Panther Al Ferrarra in third.
With the meet perhaps hanging
on the outcome of the windup mile
relay, a stirring finish is expected
between the two veteran quartets.
The Wolverines will depend on Brei-
denbach, Leutritz, Phil Balyeat and
sophomore Bill Dobson, while the
Panthers' team will probably be
made up of Ohl, Al Ferrarra, Tre-
goning and Clyde Graf.
Even Prof's Play...
We thought for a moment yester-
day that Jeff Davis and his hoboes
were holding a convention out at
Ferry Field, but when we got closer,
we discovered differently.
It was just the English and
Economics departments tangling
in what they call the faculty
softball league. We tyed
around just to see what the profs
could do, and by the time we sat
down there were so many (
running around the sacks that
just a casual observer might
have figured they were putting
on a preview of today's track
meet.
The Economists, first up, were of
course first to score, 'cause runs and
hits were just as easy to get yester-
day as bruises, and everybody got
bruises. Adam Smith Palmer walked
to start things off. Ripper Ratcliff
did the same thing. A ringer named
Doug Hayes doubled and by the
time John Maynard Keynes Bond
homered deep into center, seven New
Deal runs had crossed the plate.
Schoolboy Stibbs was the starting
English hurler, but when he walked
in after that pounding, his scholarly
teammates took one look at the
Schoolboy, and Stibbs sat down by
a tree and started reciting poetry.
"The hits were here, the hits
were there,
candidates full opportunity to show'
what they can do under fire. Rain
and even snow kept the squad indoors
fully two weeks beyond the time out-
door drills should have begun.
Running through plays for the past
week, the two teams have worked up
plenty of spirit for the contest, block-
ing and tackling the dummies as
though it were mid-October. Both
coaching staffs stayed in character
by sorrowfully predicting defeat, with
Wally Weber, of the Whites board of
strategy, cracking, "Both teams will
go onto the field undefeated."
Clarence Munn, line coach and,
Dave Strong are handling the Whites
with Weber, while Marty Martineau,
backfield coach, Cliff Keen and Archie
Kodros will guide the Blues. Al
"Whitey" Wistert will captain the
Blues, with Bob Ingalls leading the
Whites.
Besides furnishing a line on next
season's squad, the game will be the
last opportunity for the players to
show what progress they've made this
spring, furnishing the basis for the
award of the Chicago Alumni tro-
phy. The trophy-winner will be
named Tuesday, ;May 21.
