May 23 -- Michigan State's varsity team received its see- ond defeat at the hands of the Wol- verines in a return match yesterday as Coach Leroy Weir's charges squeezed out a 5-4 victory on the sun- baked Spartan courts.

After dropping his first set. 5-7, Dean McClusky took hold and swept the remaining two, 6-3, 6-0, to de- feat State's Dave Phillips. Herb Hoo- ver, MSC's number four man, and a returning letterman, played steady tennis in defeating Michigan's Jack Evans, 6-2, 6-2.

With the score riding at 4-2 in favor of Michigan, the Wolver- ines' number two team of McClusky and Evans encountered State's Phil- lips and Frann. After splitting the first two sets, 6-2, 2-6, the Spartans took the third set, 6-4, and the match. to bring their team within one point of the Wolverines.

Meanwhile, Hersh had been re- vived and he and Mikulich took the, court against State's number one combo of Cessna and Hoover in the deciding match of the day. The Wolverines took the first set, 6-4, and were trailing 4-5 in the second when the Spartans won the add as set point hung in the balance. This was the turning point of the match for the Michigan duet rallied in the clutch to win the point and from there on to sweep the next three games and the match, to hand the Wolverines a timely 5-4 victory. Yesterday's win brought Michigan's' record for the season up to eight vic- tories against four defeats. The Wol- verines next match is scheduled with Notre Dame at South Bend, Saturday. OSU Thinclads Out To Break Wolverine jinx Ihwkheyes IPriimed for lx ((1 Here Sal Hrdfy When Coach Larry Snyder brings , his strong Ohio State track squad to Ann Arbor tomorrow, he will be try- ing to break a jinx that has kept the Buckeyes from defeating the Maize and Blue on its home track during the 29 year span of the rivalry. Enjoying thir most successful sea- son since 1942, the Ohio State thin- clads have compiled an impressive record with successive victories over Indiana, Purdue, Michigan State, and Penn State. Judging by past performances, the outcome of the meet may be in doubt until the final event, the mile relay, is run. In Conference competition this year, the speedy Illinois quar- tet has been the only mile relay team to break the tape ahead of the Wol- verine foursome. Coach Ken Doherty has relied mainly on the combination of Bill Haidler, Val Johnson, Hap Coleman and Hugh Short to capture the relay points for the Maize and Blue. In the dual meet with Illinois last week- end. Short and Coleman came through with their fastest quarter- miles of the season, being clocked 47.6 and 47.7 respectively. Johnson sped through his leg of the relay in 49.6, his best time to date. Haidler, who usually leads off for the relay quartet, may not start Sat- urday, since he has been bothered by a bad knee all week. In his place Doherty will use either Ron Soble, who has hit 51.0 for the 440, or Herbj Barten, indoor Conference half-mile champion, who has stepped the quar- ter in 50.2. Ohio State's fast mile relay team has been clocked in 3:23. In Carl Baynard the Buckeyes have a 49.0 quarter-miler for the lead-off posi- tion. Dick Bennett will run the sec- ond leg of the relay, while Stu Reid, who won the 440-yard dash in 50.4 against Penn State last week-end, will take care of the third quarter-mile. Running against Michigan's Short at anchor, will be Buckeye Mal Whit- field. Wolverine hurdler Neil MacIntyre will be ready to run against Ohio State. Although MacIntyre took sec- ond in the high hurdles in Michigan's first outdoor dual meet, a pulled muscle has keptuhim sidelinedever since.

C(irdinaIls Hayve Their Aiexicl(rtWf orries, Too NEW YORK, May 29--(P)-Max Lanier, the leading pitcher in the National League, and two St. Louis teammates, planned a trip to Mexico today and then can- celled their arrangements, but failed to appear at the Polo Grounds for the Cardinals' game with the New York Giants. The first step in the day's con- fusing developments found infield- er Lou Klein, pitcher Fred Martin and Lanier, accompanied by Ber- nardo Pasquel, vice-president of the Mexican Baseball League, ap- plying for permits to visit Mexico. Although there had been no le- gal action by the Cardinal own- ers, a trial is pending on the New York Yankees' request for a per- w-anent injunction against the Pasquels and their agents. the series opener. Earl Block will seek his fifth win of the season in tomorow's game. The Boilermakers will field three men who are batting over .300 in Con- ference competition: leadoff man and centerfielder "Red" Anderson who has hit the ball at a phenomenal .600 mark against Big Ten pitching, and Shortstop Johnny Galvin and third baseman Ed Ehlers who are batting at .333. Following Anderson in the batting order will be Olin Martin left fielder, after whom will bat the hard hit- ting shortstop, Galvin. Ehlers will bat in fourth position ahead of right- fielder Walter Lenczyk. Secondbaseman Hank Stram will follow the rightfielder. Monroe Sorge will bat seventh and play on first base. Fred Schimmelfenig will catch and bat ahead of the pitcher. Elsewhere in the Conference, the Big Ten Standings W L Pet.
