The Broncos bring to Ann Arbor the enviable record of being one of the best regarded teams in the Midwest over a period of years. So far this year Coach Chuck Maher's charges have taken the measure of Michigan State, 9-1, overwhelmed Wisconsinv - Ostroot Elected Maize and Blue Ttoack Capt.m1 ii New rTh, a ls1 P1ease Coach in Purdue Meet George Ostroot, Wolverine shot put and discus ace, was elected captain for the remainder of the 19.6 season by the Michigan thinclads just be- fore the Purdue meet at Lafayettej got under way last Saturday, Coach Ken Doherty revealed yesterday. Ostroot replaces hurdler Elmer Swanson, who shifted to baseball1 when the indoor track campaign ended. Ostroot a Leader Commenting on the selection of the weight min for the important posi- tion, Doherty declared that Ostroot had shown himself to be a very definite leader in the time he has been at Michigan. In connection with the meet at Purdue, the Wolverine coach stressed! the fine performances of several new men running for the thinclads forj the first time. Larmee Takes Third Wayne Larmee, for example, in his initial try at varsity competition, out- ran several Boilermakers to cop a thirdsplace behind Michigan's Herb Barten and Chuck Low in the half. Bob Ferguson, newcomer to Doherty's sprint squad, nipped veteran Horace Coleman in the century dash and was just a step behind Coleman and Hugh Short in the 220. Ronnie Soble came through with a creditable quarter-mile in the second leg of the mile relay to help that quartet to its victory. Tom Ken- ny proved himself a valuable addition to the hurdles by capturing a third behind Gutting of Purdue and Niel MacIntyre of the Wolverines. Major League AMERICAN LEAGUE 3 i 3 i f7 3 STIKAEE TwNo fly BERNIE MEISLIN Sports Night Editor "yOU NEVER CAN BE SURE ABOUT WINNING a ball game," Coach Ray Fisher warned before the series with Illinois at Champaign. "Its the breaks that win and lose games and you can never tell when a line drive is going to land in a player's glove and when it will go past him for a hit," Fisher continued. The coach cited the Michigan State game as an example of a con- test in which a break helped the Wolverine cause. Pinch-hitter Nick Gregory, rounding third for the Spartans in the ninth inning of a 4-2 game, slipped on the wet turf and was out by a wide margin at the plate; helping Michigan no little bit. A wet field and- muddy spikes figured prominently in the Wolverine loss to Illinois. A week of rain had preceded the Michigan invasion of Champaign and mud caked on the player's spikes even before they completed the long walk from the locker room to the visitor's bench. Through the early innings Michigan kept the Illini infielders busy chasing bunts, but failed in this attempt to take advantage of the muddy ground as one bunted ball after another popped in the air, rolled into foul ground or was trickled straight at an opposing fielder. Only Walt Kell in the first and Don Robinson in the fourth inning had their efforts meet with success. Michigan's calculated plan of playing on the side of the elements was foiled by bunted balls that refused to stay away from infielders. IIinois, on the other hand, hit away at Bliss "Bo" Bowman's offerings without trying intentionally for breaks. WITH THE SCORE KNOTTED at three runs apiece in the bottom half exeof the tenth inning, Bob Wakefield drew a walk from "Pro" Boim, exceptionally fast Wolverine reliefer. Lee Eilbracht, Illini catcher, who had been retired but once all after- noon came to the plate. Lacing one of Boim's fast balls back of third, Eilbracht reached first and Wakefield broke all the way for third. 0ob- inson, racing madly back of third picked up the ball and with an under- hand toss to Kell nabbed Wakefield at third. Michigan breathed easier for a moment. Then came the break of the game as Les Miller, Illinois leftfielder, tied into one of Pro's deliveries and hoisted a drive down the leftfield line. Fleet Jack Weisenburger started out for the sailing horsehide, but muddy turf and clotted spikes slowed Weisenburger's pace. Eilbracht, racing with head down, rounded third as Michigan's outfielder and the speeding baseball headed for the same point in distant left. Glove and ball met as Eilbracht practically toed home. Then, in left, the ball fell to the ground for a hit, as joyous Illinois teammates greeted their winning run at the plate. Muddy spikes which gave the Wolverines a break in an earlier game snapped Michigan's 27 game skein of wins. "Breaks win ball games," said the coach. Michigan and Illinois maintained their keen record of competition and the record of Fisher-coached teams as against those piloted by Illini coach Wally Roettger stands at 12 Maize and Blue wins as against 10 for Illinois. After leading the field wit a 7 1 in his first malutch of the season when the Michigan golfers crushed Detroit last Friday, Bill Courtright starred again on the links for the Wolverines in Saturday's photo finish, 14 to 13 triumph over Northwestern. It was his match that decided the outcome, as decisive defeats already suffered by the top men, Dave Bar- clay and Pete Elliott, had put the Michigan linksmen on the short side of the score. Courtright stood all even with his opponent, Dick Stiver- son at the end of the first round and had to do nothing less than win the second nine to give his team the one point margin of victory. He made it one up on the fifteenth hole, and held that lead till the end, proving that in spite of his wildness he knows how to hit that ball when it counts. The unusually high scores turned in Saturday weren't necessarily a bad sign, considering the terrific cold, wind, and rain the linksmen had to contend with. Bill Ramsey, with a 77, was the only Wolverine to shoot -- R;,fla- " You have ability, or you wouldn't be here in college.

Pete Elliott was way off his game againi, carding anl 87 for the second dayin a 'row. Barclay, who shot an 83, felt he could have made a match out of what was otherwise a shellacking if he hadn't three putted several greens.
