LVIII, No. 145 ANN ARBOR, MICHIGAN, THURSDAY, APRIL 29, 1948 PRICE FIVE CENTS Pitchers Set Pace as Nine Blanks Titans Taft, Hicks, Olsen Notch 3-0 Victory By B. S. BROWN Bill Taft stepped out on the mound yesterday with the right idea in mind and proceeded to set the tempo for his chucking sue- cessors as he held the first nine University of Detroit batters to nary a bingle. Michigan won, 3-0, Taft get- ting credit for the win, his first of the season. Bob Hicks and John Olsen, who shared the pitching chores with Taft, each gave up a single base knock to the visitors from the Motor City. Detroit's only scoring opportun- ity was quickly snuffed out in the fourth inning on a play at the plate. Herb Boldt, Detroit short- stop, opened the stanza with a looping double along the right field line. Boldt took third while Bob Gorman was being thrown out at first by Dom Tomasi, and Bob Prendergast, who played the keystone sack, strolled after Hicks worked for a full count. Brakie Orr then slammed one and nothing pitch back at Hicks who quickly threw to the plate. Boldt held up halfway home but was caught in a run-down by Ted Kobrin. Michigan scored its first talty in the second on a 380 foot triple to right center by lefty Hal Morrill, which sent Bob Chappuis scampering home from first. The Wolverines put together two hits in the fifth for their next run. With two away, Hicks pumped a double into right cen- ter, and Bump Elliott slammed a hot grounder just inside the first base sack, scoring Hicks. Michigan's last run, which came in the eighth, was unearned. Ted Berce batted for Jack Weisenbur- ger and drew a base on balls after there was one down.

Vanderbilt of the New Jersey Supreme Court said in yesterday's Cook Lecture. No judge has ever made any greater contribution to our law and its moral level than the 18th century English judge, Lord Mansfield, Justice Vanderbilt as- serted. Yesterday's lecture, part of the series "Men and Measures in the Law" dealt with a resume of the life of Lord Mansfield and an out- line of his contributions to the English legal system. "The maxim Let justice be done though the heavens fall,' which is attributed to Lord Mansfield, ex- presses his aim as a judge," Jus- tice Vanderbilt said. The Cook Lecture series will be concluded with talks by Justice Vanderbilt at 4:15 p.m. today and tomorrow in Rackham Amphi- theatre. eJo Service DETROIT, April 28-(,) - A job-finding service for the 2,300,- 000 veterans now studying in American colleges and universities was announced today at the an- nual conference of veterans em- ployment representatives.
