Illinois, with two players among the top four, rested in fifth place in tallying 628. Holmstrom carded 76 in the forenoon and came back with a par 72 in the afternoon round to finish in fourth place. It was Illini Jim McCarthy, however, who proviaed the biggest surprise of the day when he finished with a 147 total to tie for second place for low medal hon- ors. Up until today McCarthy had not won his letter because he has been hampered by illness, In taking over first place, Michi- gan's other four entries did right well for themselves. Capt. John Lei- dy tallied scores of 78 and 76 for a 154 total. In the morning Leidy was out in 40 and came back in 38, while his afternoon round of 38-38-76 was one of the best he has had all year. Bill Courtright and Dave Osler each had 156 strokes. Bill carded 77 in the morning and then finished with 79, while Dave's scores were just th'e reverse. Chan Simonds, the fifth Wolverine (whose score does not count) shot 40 on each nine in both rounds for a 160 total. Indiana, Purdue, and Chicago fin- ished in that order behind fifth place' Illinois, while Iowa did not enter a team. With Illinois, who has won the crown the last two years, and North- western practically out of the tourna- ment, it looks like a dogfight between Michigan and the Scarlet and Gray aggregation, with Minnesota given a slight chance to squeeze through. The Wolverines probably have the most well-balanced team of the group, while Ohio State has three men among the first seven medalists. Behind Buckeyes Krisko and Lorms is Billy Gilbert, who won the Con- ference crown two years ago. Gilbert had trouble in keeping on the fair- ways yesterday, in addition to hav- ing difficulty with his putting, con- sequently he carded a 77-76-153 which is definitely not up to his usual standa rd.- The Conference Meet will be con- cluded at the University course to- day when the 43 contestants will play another 36 holes, one round in the morning and the last one in the afternoon.

Nine Takes Double Win From Chicago, 161, 3-1 Cain Hurls Three-Hitter In Combine To Outpitch (Continued from Page 1) their best ball in the second tilt be- cause Rodney Briggs, Chicago hurl- er, held them to, five scattered hits. The combination of Savage and Fishman was a little too much for Briggs to match, however. Like Cain, Dick also made his de- but in Conference competition to- day. The sophomore righthander turned in a fine job as he limited Chicago batters to three hits and the lone run of the ball game in the five innings he worked. Fishman, who relieved Savage, had the Maroons eating out of his hands and was never seriously in trouble. Whitey Holman Scores In the second game the Wolverines picked up their first run right away when Whitey Holman scored on Don Robinson's single. The Varsity picked up their other two runs of the nightcap in the third when heavy hitting Bud Chamber- lain socked a double, scoring Holman and Dave Nelspn. In the first contest the Wolverines seemed to gain momentum as the game rolled along because they scored 13 runs in the last five in- nings. Coach Ray Fisher, Michigan's wise Opener; Savage, Fishman Briggs In Second Fray old owl, crossed up Maroon infielders time and again by having the Wol- verine batters bunt nearly one fourth of the time. When the Chicago in- ner cordon became bunt conscious and started charging in on every pitch, Fisher ordered the boys to hit away with the result that Chicago infielders were nearly always out of position when a ball was hit their way. Varsity Runs Wild The Michigan base runners stole at will against Chuck Miller, Maroon catcher. Miller's arm was as weak as the proverbial Sunday school punch as he allowed Dave Nelson to steal four bases in the first game alone. The sixth and seventh innings were the big ones for the Wolverines in the first game as they tallied four runs in each frame. Big guns in the Varsity's 16 run barrage were Bill Cartmill and Paul White. The "Wheel" helped" him- self to three lusty doubles in five times at bat while Paul snapped out of his batting slump with four hits in six times at the plate. Cain would have had a shut out except for Bob Stenberg, who made a couple of costly fielding misplays in the sixth inning. The little fel- low more than made up for this, however, by turning in several fine fielding plays. Johnson To Be TennisCaptain Jinx Receives UnaITnimois Vote; Eight Get Letters Alden Johnson, for two years the most consistent winner on the team, was yesterday unanimously elected by his teammates to succeed Co-Cap- tains Lawton Hammett and Wayne Stille as the new Wolverine tennis captain. Known affectionately to his team- mates as 'Jinx,' 'Gringo' and 'The Greaser', Johnson was the logical choice for other reasons than the fact that he was the only eligible regular. Over a two year span Jinx! won twenty-five consecutive matches, including a Conference champion- ship, before a windy day and a tough opponent combined to defeat him Thursday. One of the hardest fighters on the team, Johnson would have given ev- ery one of those 25 victories to have won that one crucial match with Donj Burst and when he got his chance in the doubles he came back beauti- fully to win the number three cham- pionship with Gerry Schaflander. A Phi Delt and hailing from Grand Rapids, Jinx, true to form, doesn't want to rest on his laurels next year but wants to play in as high a bracket as his skill will allow him. Other letter winners announced by Coach Weir are Hammett, Stille, Jim Porter, Schaflander, Tom Gamon, Tom Bourquin and Fred Wellington. Reserve awards were given Bob Brewer and Bob Mattews.

The All-Year trophy for the high point winner in all sports, originally conceded to Williams a few days ago, was not presented because of a dis- crepancy in the scoring system which, when figured on two different bases, also places Fletcher Hall in first place. This will be decided in the next few days when representa- tives of both houses along with I-M officials will confer with Litzenburg. Team Awards Given Plaques and medals for team championships were distributed as follows: football, Prescott House; bowling, Fletcher; volleyball, Win- Give 1rosb Net Awards Looking forward to another suc- cessful season next year, Coach Leroy Weir yesterday announced the 1945 freshman numeral winners. Six freshmen and one sophomore, a transfer student, make up this year- ling squad which Coach Weir calls "the best in the last four yp '" Most of the players were either state high school champs or runners- up, and Fleetwood McCoy won his numerals at the University of North- western last year. Winners of the awards were: Bill Honey of Kalamazoo; McCoy, Ft. Custer; Bill Mikulich, Traunik; Ger- ry Mullaney, Milwaukee, Wis.; Dave Post, Schenectady, N.Y.; Ed Fisher, Milwaukee, Wis.; and Roy Boucher, Catasauqua, Penn.

Faculty, Williams Play In addition to presenting the awards, Mr. Litzenburg called on Charles Peake of the English depart- ment, Chief Residence Advisor of the West Quad, to challenge the winners of the baseball title, Williams House, to the annual game with a picked team of faculty men. The games will be a best of three series to be played tonight and tomorrow night at 7:30 on the diamond just south of Yost Field House. Rams Top 610 Club The Intramural softball champion- ship came to a close yesterday when the Rams defeated the 610 Club 10-5 for the independent crown. The skies were dreary, and part of the game was played in the rain, but all this did not prevent the Rams from com- ing from behind, three times, to cop the title. Bob Kolesar was the spark that enabled the Rams to bowl over the 610 boys, as he took off his shirt and pitched a very fine game. His job was not easy because the Rams played only eight men against their opponents' ten. All the boys were hitting well and extra base knocks were by no means uncommon. Eflect Matthews TrackCaptain Junior Star Forsook Pool For Cinderpath Fame David O. Matthews, '43Ed, of Royal Oak, was elected captain of the 1942- 43 Michigan track squad at a dinner Sunday night in the Michigan Union. Matthews closed the regular sea- son this weekend by placing third in the half-mile at the Big Ten outdoor track meet in Evanston, Ill., which was won by a powerful Ohio State team. The election to the captaincy cli- maxes the career of Matthews who almost became a swimmer under Matt Mann. In high school Dave went in for swimming, and he hoped to continue his career at Michigan. Only at the insistence of his brother did he go out for track in his senior year in high school, and even though. he placed third in the state 440 yard dash, he still devoted his time to swimming. Coach Ken Doherty dis- covered Matthews, however; and Dave went out for track during his sophomore year. This year Matthews placed fourth in the conference indoor meet and turned in the best half-mile time for the Varsity this year in addition to his previously mentioned third last Saturday. Varsity lettermen and point-win- ners attended the track squad dinner at which Coach Ken Doherty, Frosh Coach Chester Stackhouse, and Prof. Phil Diamond were honor guests. Captain Al Piel was the master of ceremonies. Trackmen presented a traveling kit to Doherty and heard short talks by the three honor' guests. SENIORS!
