was 13 Michigan base runners were
left stranded on the bags.
Bespectacled Freddie Hobbs went
the route for the Hurons yesterday to
even the series between the two
schools. The last time they met Mich-
igan won, 13-4. Hobbs wasn't too
steady in racking up his victory as he
allowed seven walks, but the Varsity
didn't have the punch that was
needed.
Normal put across its winning runs
in the third inning as it counted three
times. However, it wasn't pitcher Bill
Cain's fault as all the runs were un-
earned. Bob Harvey started the
uprising by drawing a walk. Cain
struck out pitcher Hobbs, but John
Shada singled to left. Chuck Oxley
followed by hitting a slow roller to
Bill Cartmill at first, but the "Wheel"
muffed it to load the sacks.
Cain took things in his own hands
again as he sent Charlie Nemeth
down swinging. When Marion Henry,
Ypsi right fielder, hit the ball to-
wards Bud Chamberlain, it looked
like the inning was over, but Bud
booted it and Harvey scored. Al Hut-
chins then dropped a double down the
right field line to score Shada and
Oxley before Bill could strike out
Clare Krawczak for the third out.
Going into the last of the ninth.

Praises Bucks
Cindermien Show Strength
Only In Distance Events
By BOB SCHWARZKOPF
Terming their performance "splen-
did," Varsity Track Coach Ken Doh-
erty had nothing but praise for the
Ohio State cindermen who crushed
Michigan's perviously unbeaten squad
Saturday.
Michigan showed strength in only
the distance events where they picked
up 26 of their 40 1/3 points. In the
880 in which Wolverines finished
one, two, three, Dave Matthew's
1:53.8, Johnny Kautz's 1:54.2 and
John Roxborough's 1:55.9 were the
best they had done outdoors this year.
The same goes for the mile, where
Will Ackerman, John Ingersoll and
Will Glas finished in a tie for the
top posiitons with 4:28.1. In the
two-mile run, Ernie Leonardi, John
McKean and Jim Conant made their
best outdoor performances this year.
Thomas, Pinney Do 9.9
Good jobs were also turned in by
Al Thomas and Chuck Pinney whose
9.9 in the 100 and :24.2 in the low
hurdles, respectively, bettered their
previous low marks.
Despite the fact that Bob Ufer
could get only a third place ,in the
440, his :48.4 knocked a tenth of a
second off his time in the Illinois
meet. The thirteenth Wolverine to
turn in his best performance of the
year was Jim Sears, who did 51.2 in
his quarter of the mile relay.
Michigan's vaunted balance wasn't
enough to lead it to victory, as the
Buckeyes' power in all but the dis-
tance events was the telling factor.
Phi Deltis Wint
In Frat Circuit
By JACK FLAGLER
It's all over as far as the All-Year
trophy fight in the fraternity league
is concerned. The mighty Phi Delt
outfit by virtue mainly of its advance
to the semifinals of the diamond
tourney have cinched the necessary
number of points to win them the
coveted all-sport title for the second
straight year.
Under the efficient handling of
athletic manager Russ Faber the Phi
Delts have powerhoused their athletic
way through the toughest competi-
tion the brethren loop has had to
offer, wining the swimming, bowling
and wrestling crowns and coming
close to the top in nearly every other
event they entered.
Over in the dorm division Williams
is looming large as the team to walk
off with All-Year honors. The Wil-
liams baseball squad copped the West
Quad championship Saturday by
soundly and roundly drubbing Lloyd,
13-1 They meet the winner of the
East Quad scramble for the over-all
title sometime this week.

Late Sport Flashes
From The I-M Front
Chi Phi had the breaks and Sigma
Phi Epsilon got the buck in the last
innings of their semi-final baseball
game with thre result of a heart-
To. Varsity
Hurons were lucky to stop. Don Hol-
man started by receiving a pass and
Don Robinson advanced him to sec-
ond when the high-riding soph got
his third single of the game.
With nobody out, Chamberlain
lined the second ball towards left
field that looked like a sack hit, but
third baseman Hutchins took one step
to his left to grab the drive and threw
to second to double Holman. That
took the heart out of the Wolverines
and Johnnie Erpelding, who replaced
Higgins at second, ended the tilt by
popping out.
Michigan's one run came in the
third when Davey Nelson singled,
stole second, advanced to third on a
wild pitch and came in when Holman
singled to left. Normal added to its
total by scoring once in the fifth and
once in the eighth. The run in the
eighth was off the pitching of Irv
Boim, who relieved Cain after six
innings. Dick Savage, the third hurl-1
er used by Fisher, ended the game by
pitching the ninth.
Seven Too Many
Season Today
At Ferry Field
Face BroncOs In Tiincup
For Conference Meet;
Russell Leads Visitors
By HARV FRANK
Playing their last dual meet of the
season, Michigan's netters will meet
Western Michigan today on the
courts at Ferry Field. The match
will begin at 3 p.m.
The Broncos are led by Gene Rus-
sell, Michigan state singles champ,
and their record for the present sea-
son is more than impressive. They
have shutout most of their opponents
from this state, and lost only one
match in defeating famed Kenyon
College, from Ohio. They were beat-
en, however, by Northwestern, 8-1,
two weeks ago.
Other Starters#
Among the other starters for the
team from Kalamazoo are Walt Stu-
kert, who plays number two; Mar-
shall Campell, number three; and
j Harold Gensichen, one of the best
basketball players in the state, num-
ber four. All were beaten in straight
sets by their Wildcat opponents.
After their matches with the Wild-
cats and Ohio State last weekend, at
least three Michigan players are fair-
ly certain of being seeded in the con-
ference meet next Friday and Sat-
urday. Stille, Schaflander, and John-
son are all undefeated in Bi; Ten
play. Tom Gamon and Jim Porter
also have a slight chance to get a
ranking, each having been defeated
only once.
Poubles Seedings
The number two and three doubles
teams also are likely to be seeded.
Since Coach Weir shifted the combi-
nations in mid-season the Porter-
Gamon and Johnson -Schaflander
duos have gone undefeated.
Scattershots . . . Both Don Canale
of Notre Dame and Cal Sawyier of
Chicago are all "A" students . . . Most
illustrious name on opponents' ros-
ters is that of Michigan State's Her-
bert Hoover ... Northwestern's Sey-
mour Greenberg and Bobby Jake
probably won't be seeded in the Big
Ten meet, haven't played in enough
conference matches . . . Five of the
six Michigan players will be playing
their last matches for the Maize and
Blue today. Only Jinx Johnson will
be back next year.

U--- -- _...______.
By BUD LOW
For the second time this season
the Maize and Blue linksmen went
down to defeat at the hands of the
Buckeyes from Ohio State; yester-
day it was by a score of 24 to 12.
The Buckeyes were hot and the
Varsity wasn't, and therein lies the
story of why the Wolverines dropped
their second Conference match in
five starts. The Bucks had a seven
to five advantage at the end of the
four morning best ball matches, and
from there on in they kept rolling
despite the fact that five contests
were decided on the last green.
Ben Smith, still playing with his
shoulder taped, continued to jinx for-
mer Conference champ Billy Gil-,
bert. , All even at the end of the'
sixteenth hole, Smith sank a 25 foot
putt to tie the Ohioan going to the
last tee. On the final green, Gil-
bert needed only to sink a two foot
putt to card a birdie four and win
the match, but his putter wasn't,
functioning for him, and the ball!
stopped dead just short of the cup.
Both men carded 77's, which is de-
cidedly not the brand of golf they
usually play.
Chan Simonds carded an 80, the
worst he has done in competition, to
lose to John Krisko, who carded a
70, by a score of 3 to 0. Capt. John
Leidy also lost by the same score to
Johnny Steckel, Buckeye leader, when
the Wolverine shot an 82 to his op-
ponents 79.
Bill Courtright, playing in the
number four position for the first
time this year, had a little tough
luck and only managed to tie his
opponent with 11/2 points. Two up
with only two holes to go, Ed Rein-
hard made a fine recovery by win-
ning the last two holes as both men
carded 77.
Bob Fife was very much off his
game as he tallied an 82, nine strokes
more than his opponent, John Lorms,
had, and as a result the Scarlet and
Gray took three more points. Dave
Osler became the only Michigan
player to win as he carded a 77. Bob
Kampfer scored an 84 against Os-
let to give him three points.
Buckeye John Sulser came home
with a 75 to defeat Bill Stewart by
seven strokes and win, 3-0. In the
last singles tit, Phill Marcellus and
Allen Nunn both had 83's but the
Wolverine lost, 2-1.

ELIEVE 'T OR NOT, a nickel rides. with ('very pifrh d ir1u: a Michigan
baseball game at Ferry Field. And here's why.
It seems that the press box overlooking the diamond has been turned
into a favorite hangout for the betting gentry of Ann Arbor, namely the
varied and assorted newspaper correspondents who cover the Wolverine tilts
for their more varied and assorted papers and news services. These type-
writer athletes can yell and root with the best leather-lunged fan that
ever sunned himself in Brooklyn's bleachers, especially when a nickel of
their hard-earned money is claiming tha the next pitch will he a hal. that
it'll be a strike, that it'll be a foul, a hit. a wild hitch, a. l+a$te1d )all or any-
thing else that pops to mind.
But they've had a lot of fun dirim: the 'a.son, probably mitore than
any other batch of correspondents whoever lugged the old portables
up to the wired-in coop. Possibly the funniest thing of the whole year
happened in the Michigan State fray, when Paul Chandler, the Associat-
ed Press newshawk, bet Mill Marsh, sports editor for the Ann Arbor
News, that the next pitch would be a foul. Mill reached into his pocket
and got his nickel out just in time to see the hall soar foul out in
left field.
Chandler made the same bet again, and once again Marsh lost. This
continued until the, batter had fouled off seven of Pro Boim's offerings.
Then Mill switched and bet Chandler 1hat the next one would be a foul,
upon which the batter struck out.
r HE BENCUICOMBER, of course, doesn't go in for 1hba. betting stuff not
since Hal Wilson, former sports editor of The Daily and now ace re-
porter for the Chicago Sun,,took 13 stright nickels from some bewildered
school teacher from an upstate Michigan town during the high school con-
vention. Wilson's victim left the box yelling omnething about an "economic
cartel." Anything that has something to (o with ur'omn"is is enough to
discourage the Benlicomber, even in baeba,1.
VIC REED, the cagiest nickel-plunger of them ail, wio covered the games
for the United Press and Chicago Tribune, will have to win his spending
money in Chicago from now on. Vie left Ann Arbor Sunday to assume a
new post with NBC in the Windy City, And Wilson, the slicker, has received
Vic's sacred formula for winning bets, and just, heraIuse r;eed owes him a
minor portion of the national debt.
DRIFT WOOD AND SPLINT ERS: The Vlaize and Blue golf team re-
ceived a temporary setback yesterday in their quest for the Big Ten
title . . . that makes the second time this year that the linksineu have
fallen before Ohio State,. . which will establish the Buckeyes as the
favorites to win the crown here in the Conference Metwi next week.

THREE ENLISTMENT PLANS
FOR COLLEGE MEN #t
Juniors-Sophomores-Freshmen
May Continue Their Education
1. A new plan allows Juniors,
Sophomores and Freshmen, aged
18 to 26, inclusive, to enlist in the
Air Force Enlisted Reserve and
continue their schooling, provided
they maintain satisfactory scholas-
tic standing.
All College Men May Enlist
for immediate Service
2. All college students may enlist
as privates in the Army Air Forces
(unassigned) and serve there un-
til their turns come for Aviation
Cadet training.
3. All college students may enlist
in the Air Force Enlisted Reserve
and wait until ordered to report
for Aviation Cadet training.
Upon graduation or withdrawal
from college, men will be assigned
to active duty at a training center
as facilities become available.
If the necessity of war demands,
the deferred status in the Army
Reserve may be terminated at any
time by the Secretary of War.
The new Army Air Force Enlisted Re-
serve Plan is part of an over-all Army
Enlisted Reserve Corps program shortly
to be announced. This program will
provide opportunities for college men
to enlist In otherbranches of the Army
on a deferred basis and to continue
their education through graduation if
a satisfactory standard of work is
maintained. In case of necessity the
Secretary of War shall determine when
they may be called to active duty.
It Is understood that men so enlisted
will have the opportunity of competing
for vacancies In officer's candidate
schools.
This plan has been approved in the
hel"ef that continuance of education will
develop capacities for leadership. (Re-
serve enlistment will not alter regulations
regarding established R. 0. T. C. plans.)
