Blasting three Northwestern

State's high flying diamond team
crushed the visiting Wildcats, 17-
3, yesterday to match Michigan's
4-0 record in Big Nine competi-
tion.
The Buckeyes lost no time in
getting to starting hurler Ogle,
scoring three tallies in the first
inning.
They followed up with single
runs in the second and third, a
trio in the sixth and the eighth,

enth.
Northwestern garnered seven
hits and scored one run in the
first, fifth and sixth innings.
Purdue's bats were held silent

Drake Victory
DES MOINES, April 24-- P/)- -
Harrison Dillard, America's great-
est hurdler, today raced to his
55th consecutive victory to be-
come the outstanding individual
performer of the 39th Drake Re-
lays.
Dillard, who yesterday sparked
Baldwin-Wallace College to a new
meet record in the college half-
miile relay, today tied his own
Drake record in the 120-yard high
hurdles.
Altogether three college records
were broken and one tied in the
two-day meet. Seven new high
school marks were set.
Lee Hofacre of Minnesota
blotted out a 10-year-old Drake
record for the 440-yard hurdle
race by skimming the barriers in
52.7 seconds. This erased the old
mark of 53.2 seconds set by Jack
Peterson of Rice in 1938.
Michigan State teams placed
fourth in the two-mile and four-
mile'relays, and came in fifth in
the half-mile test.
Dillard, who aspires to proudly
wear the shield of the United
States in the 1948 Olympic games,
thrilled a shirt-sleeved crowd of
15,000 spectators in Drake Sta-
dium by streaking to victory in
the 120 yard high hurdles in 14.1
seconds. This tied the record he
jset here a year ago.

ison and punched out six runs in
three innings to sweep the two
game series with Wisconsin, 6-4.
Ronald Plietz, Badger flinger,
throttled the Purdue hitting ef-
forts until the sixth frame when
the Boilermakers pushed across
three runs. Wisconsin had
picked up a four run lead in the
early innings.
Purdue tied things up in the
seventh with a single tally and
wrapped up the victory in the
eighth when two runs crossed the
platter.
Brilliant pitching marked Illi-
nois' 4-3 Big Nine victory over
Minnesota in a 16 inning game re-
quiring three hours and nine min-
utes to complete.
The defending Conference
champions scored the winning
marker on llerbie Plew's single
which scored illini rzceiver,
John Gugala.
In a non-Conference tilt, Iowa's
star southpaw, Jack Bruner, gave
the Fighting Irishof Notre Dame
only seven hits to hand his team
a 4-3 win over the lads from South
Bend.
The Hawkeyes thus evened the
series with the Irish, who won
Friday's game, 8-7.

BLOOMINGTON, Ind. -- April
24-Scoring three runs in the
ninth inning, the Michigan Wol-
verines extended their Big Nine
winning streak to four games to-
day by downing Indiana for the
second time, 7-6.
The three runs broke a 4-4 tie
that had existed since the seventh
inning. The Hoosiers tallied twice
in their half of the ninth, but to
no avail. Bud Rankin was the
winning pitcher.
Weisenburger Scores First
Jack Weisenburger started
things off with a walk in the ninth.
Howard Wikel sacrificed him over
to second on a perfect bunt. Weis-
enburger then scored on Dom To-
masi's hard single to left. Bob
Chappuis kept things going with
another hard hit to left. He was
forced at second by Walt Han-
cook. Then pitcher Rankin upset
the dope and slapped a single in-
