Varsity Nine
Faces Purdue
On Saturday
Wolverines Need One
Wi To Clihe Western
Conference Crown
By MARY LU HEATH
Michigan hopes for coasting home
the leader in the Big Ten baseball
standings were considerably en-
hanced Saturday with the double
defeat of Minesota, the hitherto
runnerup team, at the hands of
Northwestern's Wildcats.
By virtue of their 3-1, 6-3 victories
over the Gophers, Northwestern
climbed into the number two spot
with a record of eight wins to two
losses against the Wolverines' six
and nothing record. Minnesota was
spilled to a place among the also-
rans with five games in the win col-
umn standing opposite three defeats.
The Wolverines meet Purdue Sat-
urday in a home doubleheader, and
if the Michigan nine can cop only
one game, they will breeze into the
title. However, if they fail to win
either contest against the Boiler-
makers, they will lose out to the
Wildcats for the championship.
Purdue Anxious To Win
The boys from Purdue are evi-
dently very eager to take the Wol-
verines in both ends of the twin bill,
and have sent word that they will
be bringing a 20-man squad to Ann
Arbor. Although they are out of
the running, the Boilermakers would
like to upset the Western Conference
applecart and beat out a Fisher-
coached team, similar to the ones
which have won eight titles in the
Wolverine mentor's 24 year tenure
here.
Meanwhile, the Michigan nine is
recuperating from the 10-1 defeat
administered by Notre Dame Friday
at South Bend. Although the Wol-
verines came back Saturday to take
the second contest of the series from
the Irish, 6-4, echoes of the Rambler
bats were still ringing in the Michi-
gan ears.
Bowman's Record Spoiled
The losing pitcher in Friday's
debacle was lefty Bo Bowman, who
had a record of five wins and no los-
ses before the trip to South Bend.
After an abbreviated warm-up period
for the Wolverines, the contest
started just 15 minutes after the
Michigan nine had arrived at the
diamond.
Bowman retired the side in the
first two innings, after the initial
batsman to face him had tripled, but
was touched for five runs in the
third. With a possible double play
in sight, second sacker Charley Ket-
terer booted the ball and loaded the
bases with one out. At that point,
the Irish broke out in a rash of hits,
and pounded the southpaw merci-
lessly for five runs.
Wiese Unable To Stem Tide
Bowman was replaced in the
fourth by Bob Wiese, who, although
he scattered the Irish runs, allowing
a pair in the fourth, two in the
fifth and one in the seventh, was
unable to stem the tide.
In Saturday's contest, Elroy Hirsch
emerged the winning hurler, holding
Notre Dame to four runs. Hirsch was
hit more freely than in any of the
four previous contests which he has
won, allowing the Ramblers to col-
lect eight hits to the Wolverines 11.

The inter-co-op softball league
closed Sunday with a real slug fest
when the' Michigan Co-op trounced
the Robert Owen Co-op 25-7.
Even though the tilt was charac-
terized by an overabundance of extra
base hits, there were some sparkling
fielding plays, mainly made by Seichi
Okub, shortstop for the Michigan
Co-op team. Okub covered his posi-
tion like a demon. He was all over the
field, executing double plays and
picking up sharp grounders like a
veteran. Before coming to Michigan,
Okub was badminton champ at UCLA
and now he is a junior in engineering
school.
