WEDNESDlAY, MAY- 14;- 191 THU MICHIGAN BDA ILY A£ .. ,, rAU V Western State Defeats Nine, In 4-3 Battle Six Errors And Overmire's Pitching Result In Loss For Wolverine Team (Continued on Page 2) coach, decided that Anderson had enough and sent in Overmire, who caused Sofiak to ground out short to first, ending the inning and leav- ing three Wolverines on base. In the Broncos' half of the fourth Michigan's air tight infield sprung a leak and two unearned runs crossed the plate to tie up the ball game. Misplay Costs Runs In that frame after Bob Metzger singled over third and Denny Yargar hit a sure double play ball to ener- getic Mike Sofiak at shortstop, Mike played the ball perfectly, whipping the pellet to right side of second base so Wayne Christenson could start a double play. But the husky little baseman failed to cover properly and 'the ball went into center field. The Broncos promptly capitalized on this play when Bob Jenkins cracked a double into deep left field scoring both Yargar and Metzger. Muir then buckled down and retired the side in order. Mike Sofiak made the most brilliant catch of the game and one of the best of the year in the fifth inning with bases loaded. With the stands on their feet yelling for Bob Jenkins, the boy who hit the two-run double in the inning before, to get another safe hit and send Western in the lead, the rightfielder started what looked like a sure single to center. Sofiak dove for the ball and made a sensational catch that brought the three thou- sand fans witnessing the game to their feet with loud applause for the Wolverine shortstop. Nelson Misses Fly The Broncos' lead went ahead in the sixth when Overmire drove a long fly to center that the usually re- liable Dave Nelson let get away from him. Overmire went all the way to third on the error and scored on a single to left to put the Teachers in the lead. Michigan stayed in the ball game by scoring a run in the seventh on two scratch singles and an infield out, but the Broncos took the lead again in their half on a long double and a pair of infield outs to give them the ball game. Heartbreaker II S PRTFOLIO 0*cTrack Pro gostications * Big Ten Meet Dope By HAL WILSON Daily Sports Editor a ANN ARBOR'S closest approach to a living crystal ball, Prof. Phil- lip Diamond, emerged yesterday from his semi-annual mathematical tranceI with the announcement that on paper Michigan's fastv.improving trackmen would fall short of their fifth consec- utive Big Ten outdoor title by one- half point. But in the very next breath the famous German professor, swing music expert, and ace track prog- nosticator emphasized that he was convinced the Wolverine spikemen cculd and would shatter Indiana'sI slight paper advantage by virtue of traditional Maize and Blue in- spiration and an emotional surge of determination that is evident already in the Michigan camp. With a remarkable record of only two misses in his 22-meet prognosti- cating history, Phil declares that In-' diana's star-studded cinder machine, which copped the indoor meet hand- ily, has the paper strength to pile up 49%/2 points in the outdoor classic this weekend at Minneapolis, while Michigan has an even 49. But this is figuring in cold sta- tistics - and Phil believes the hu- man element will result in a Wol- verine upset and successful title defense. The Dohertymen also have considerable secondary' strength, according to Diamond, which may quite feasibly acd several valuable points to the Maize and Blue total, Bob Baruard inv the .quarter. Herb Leake in the mile, Dave Matthews in the half, Tom Lawton and Bob Hook in the discur, and Frank Mc- Carthy in the broad jum-p - all may slip into one of the first five places, Phil declares.

Three Titles Won In Residence Hall Baseball Leagues Down at South Ferry Field yester- day the champions of leagues one, two and three in tle Residence Hall} softball race were decided. At the same time one fraternity advanced to the softball first-place playoffs. Behind the brilliant two-hit pitch- ing of Jim Hull, Lloyd House eked out a 1-0 victory over Chicago House to become champions of the first league. In the second, league, Wil- liams put on a scoring and hitting spree to wallop Allen-Rumsey 18-3. A Over in East Quad's third league, Prescott House defeated Greene House, 5-1, although the latter outhit Prescott, 5-4. In a game featured by the mass hitting of Sigma Nu, they advanced to the first-place playoffs by wal- oping Theta Delta Chi, 13-3. The only other fraternity competition of the day was in tennis where Acacia de- feated Delta Upsilon, 2-1. By BOB STAHL A powerful band of Wolverine trackmen will set out for Minneapolisj at 8 a.m. tomorrow in search of its fifth consecutive Western Confer- ence outdoor title, and if this track. team runs the way it did during the1 past two weeks, it will have i veryI good chance of winning the crown.1 The strong Indiana Hoosiers, pre- senting such stars as lanky Camp-, bell Kane in the mile and half-mile, and speedy Roy Cochran in the 220, the 440, and the low hurdles, are conceded a slight edge over Michigan in the Big Ten meet, but the Wol- verines, with a 74-/2-561/2 victory over Notre Dame two weeks, ago and an overwhelming 90-41 win over Ohio State last Saturday, proved that they have the potential power necessary to turn the trick against the Hoosiers I and finish ahead of the field.{ Before joining the U.S. Naval Air1 Corps this fall, Kane will attempt a double victory, seeking both the mile and 880 titles. Kane is almost a cer- tainty in the mile, his strongest op- position probably being Buckeye Capt.j Les Eisenhart. But the 880 mightc tell a different story. Michigan will have three of the1 best half-milers in its history pittingt their might against Kane. Warren I Breidenbach, smooth-striding Wolver- ine star, set a new dual meet record of 1:52.4 seconds in the 880 against the Buckeyes last week, his time also being the fastest that the distance has ever been run by a Michigan var- sity man. Johnny Kautz and Dave Matthews also ran the best races of their careers, coming in only a few steps behind Breidenbach. matched, but this year both teams appear stronger. Back for another year of competi- tion under Notre Dame colors are Capt. John Joyce and Dan Canale, number two and one singles players, respectively. The two latter team together to form the number one doubles combination which will do battle with the Wolverine all-star duo of Tobin and Hammett. Rounding out the Notre tame ag- gregation are Olen Parks and George Bittner, two sophomores, and Norm Heckler and John Walsh, two sen- iors. Parks and Bittner play three and four singles and second doubles while Heckler and the left-handed Walsh play in five and six singles and third doubles. Yesterday's clear weather gave the Wolverine racqueteers their first chance in more than a week to practice outside, and everyone took a lengthy workout. Last week's matches with Purdue, Northwestern, and Ohio State had shown all concerned, that "practice makes perfect." Porter worked on his overhead game, while Hammett was busy polishing up on his net play. Both Tobin and Gamon worked on their service which seem to be giving them trouble.
