Faced with the necessity of
sweeping both games from its run-
ner-up rival in order to finish sec-
ond in the Big Nine, Michigan
writes the final chapter in its 1947
baseball book when it squares off
against Ohio State at Columbus
today and tomorrow.

currently tied for second place, a
split would give the Buckeyes the
runner-up position with a 9-5
(.643) record against a 7-4 (.636)
for the Wolverines. Thus, from
those fans who like their baseball
with a grumble, there will come
complaints that the rained-out
game with Indiana kept the Maize
and Blue out of second place. But
if Michigan sweeps the set, they
can still complain, since that same
washed-out ball game kept them
from a tie with champion Illinois
(9-3).
Wise Ends Career
Today's game will mark the end
of one of the top baseball careers
Michigan has known - that of
Cliff Wise. The slender righthand-
er will be out after his fifth Con-
ference win of the year and his
twentieth collegiate victory for the
Wolverines.
Winning twenty games in col-
lege is considered as great a feat
as winning twenty in the majors,
but Wise will have to be at his
best to turn the trick, since he
will oppose Ohio State's sensa-
tional freshman, Pete Perini. Per-
ini also has a 4-1 Conference rec-
ord.
Dole To Pitch
Friday it will be Art Dole (1-0)
against Jack Spencer (2-2). This
game marks the final college dia-
mond appearances of outfielders
Paul White and Bob Wiese.
Although a 17-10 season can
hardly be called a failure, this
season was the worst Coach Ray
Fisher has had since 1940. In
the past three years, he ran up a
57-7 record, but lack of pitching
throughout the current campaign
hindered him from maintaining
this pace.
By JACK MARTIN and
ARCITIE PARSONS
T'S BEEN A BIG YEAR in
sports-this 1946-47 season.
And it's been a great year for
sports scribes, for out of terrific
competition come terrific stor-
ies. But the biggest story of all
wasn't written on a playing
field-it was written in the
smoke of conference rooms and
on the pages of reports that
came out of them.
A campaign seems to have
been launched against semi-
professionalism in college ath-
letics. In New York last fall
the N.C.A.A announced a col-
lection of resolutions. It is on-
ly a beginning, but at least the
whole mess has been put in
print.
Due to the good old Ameri-
can tradition of Bigness, col-
lege athletics have become big
business. And, as a result, in-
ter-collegiate athletics, and the
departments handling them,
have become autonomous en-
tities in the collegiate organiza-
tion.
A LTHOUGH it may be wrong,
in the national scene a col-
lege is usually known more for
its athletic reputation than for
its academic standing. Cer-
tainly, to the spirited mind of
the alumnus, athletic prowess
is the criterion by which he
judges and rates the old school.
And alumni are a powerful
force in the affairs of a school
-in both athletic and academ-
ic matters. "Please the alum-
ni," is a guiding motto-or is
prayer a better word?
A college athletic adminis-
tration, then, is forced to turn
out teams which consistently
have winning records; and a
coach is judged by what he
wins, not by what lie teaches.
To keep his job he must win-
and to win he must always
have better men than the next
school.
If not enough good men en-
roll in his school, the coach
has to go out and get them-
and this is done in the Big
Nine as well as other confer-
ences, and in Michigan as well
as in other schools
Semi-professionalism, then,
is a natural result of deep-lying
causes. We do not think that
mere rules against player-seek-
ing and scholarships will ever
eradicate it. That is what the
N.C.A.A. is trying now.
SEMI-PROFESSIONALISM in
colleges can be destroyed
only by blasting at the founda-
tions on which the system has
risen. And this would mean
the acceptance of a completely
new psychological viewpoint on
the part of alumni, of coaches,
and of players, themselves.
'Fritz' Crisler could lose every
game in a year and still retain
his good standing-and his job.
He would be judged rather on.
how and what he taught the
athletes under him.
Idealistic? Under the present
outlook, of course, it is. But,
idealistic or not, it is the only
method which can abolish semi-
professionalism i n c o 11 e g c

By The Associated Press
While the Detroit Tigers were
being rained out of their game
with the Cleveland Indians yes-
terday afternoon, the Boston Red
Sox, flashing tl ' power that car-I
ried them to the American League
pennant last year, blasted the
Philadelphia Athletics 9-2, with
Rudy York smashing his fifth
homer of the season.
The New York Yankees also
picked up a half-game on the idle
Tigers by mauling Washington
pitchers for 13 hits in dropping
the Senators, 9-5, in a night con-
test. It was the Yanks' sixth tri-
umph in their last seven games.
The Browns-White Sox game was
postponed because of cold weather.
over in the National League,
the Brooklyn Dodgers took over
first place as they came up with
19 hits to down the New York
Giants, 14-2. The Chicago Cubs
dropped out of the lead by losing
to the Pittsburgh Pirates, 7-6, in
the ninth inning of a night game.
The Boston Braves lost to the
Phils, 4-2, while Enos Slaughter's
three-run homer led the Cards to
a 4-2 triumph over the Reds last
night.

Prospects for c a p tu r i n g a
crown in either of the sports
are considered better than fair
in most quarters. The Wolverine
linksmen are defending champs
and rate slight favorites on the
basis of experience and intra-
league competition. Purdue -
the only Big Nine team the Wol-
verines did not beat this year -
figures to offer the toughest
competition since it has the add-
ed advantage of its home course.
Ohio State and Northwestern
are considered other likely choices
to dethrone the Maize and Blue.
The Buckeyes split a set of match-
es with the Wolverines during the
current campaign while North-
western was nosed out, 14-13, in
their only meeting.
