Although the two outfits are Major League Standings AMERICAN LEAGUE Detroit New York Boston Cleveland Chicago Washington Philadelphia St. Louis W 22 18 19 13 18 14 15 12 * L 12 15 16 13 19 17 19 20 * Pct. .647 .545 .543 .500 .486 .451 .441 .375 GB 3% 3 5 51/a 6%/ 7 9 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 sports Y1nks BosoX Win To Gain On Idle Tiers Bums Take INL Lead, Rowt Giants 14-2 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.

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. Coach Bert Katzenmeyer plans Nine Selected I Since this is our last issue, The Daily offers to its readers an All- Big Nine baseball team based on performances turned in to date. Figures in parentheses are cur- rent averages. off the only two teams who man- aged to down the Welverine net- men in agu2 play, Illinois and Northwaetern. Michigan lost by 5-4 sccres, to both of them, but the matches were so close and the seedings are so arranged that nothing ca _ be conceded any of the three cutfits. Andy Paton in the number one spot and flal Cook at num- ber six will carry the brunt of the Maize and Blue hopes, while Fred Ziemann at three and Bill Mikulich at four are rated even chances of coming up with vic- tories. Frc i Otto will be at two and Gordon Naugle at five. The ten-pis playoils begin today and run through Saturday while the golf tourney gets underway tomorrow and finishes up Satur- day also.
