THE MICHIGAN DAILY .. Wolverines Drop ou leheader to Purdue, 5-1, 2- 'T Weather, Boilermakers Prove Too Much for 'M' EVERYTHING BROKEN! Eleven Recrds Fall in River Rouge Meet (Special to The Daily) LAFAYETTE, Ind. - Muddy grounds, weather better suited for football, and the Purdue baseball team were too much for the Mich- igan Wolverines yesterday as they dropped both ends of a double- header to the Boilermakers, 5-1 and 2-1. The double setback was a severe blow to any hopes the Wolverines had of successfully defending their Big Nine title this year. COACH RAY FISHER sent his southpaw ace, Dick Smith to the mound in the initial contest and he was touched for three markers in the first inning. Ken Gorgal led off and reach- ed first on an error by Wolff. Both basketball star Bill Berber- ian and John Chinewicz were given free passes. Then a field- er's choice and successive singles by Bill Long, Norbert Adams, and Frank Schwantes drove in the trio of tallies. The Boilermakers got their other two runs in the fifth. Pitcher Mel- vin Henson drew a base on balls and Wolverine first sacker Jack McDondj1d bobbled Berberian's Three Local Sharpshooters Take Crowns Three local nimrods shot their way to championships in yester- day's City Rifle Match at the ROTC shooting range. Richard F. Hanson had little trouble in taking the men's cham- pionship. He won three of the day's five matches, and estab- lished a probable national record in taking one of them. SHOOTING 20 SHOTS prone and 20 standing, Hanson scored 382 points out of a possible 400. Recognition must be received from the national rifle headquarters at Washington before the record can be official. New women's champion is Mrs. Kathryn E. Sarns, wife of a Michigan student. Besides Hanson's three match wins, Douglas Covert, a student, took one match and Clarence Burke took the other, and besides Hanson's record of 382x400, a pos- sible seven other records were set in the match. hopper. Chinewicz then drove in the fourth Purdue run with a one- bagger and Lang came through again with a timely bingle. THE LONE Wolverine marker came in the ninth when Jack Mc- Donald slammed a home-run. Henson scattered five Wolver- ine hits with right fielder Wil- lard Baker collecting two singles, and "Lefty" Hal Morrill and Ted Kobrin each one besides McDon- ald's hamer. Bill Taft lost a heartbreaker in the nightcap which was called at the end of eight innings because of darkness. Purdue solved the lanky righthander for only four hits, while the Wolverines garner- ed seven off Bob Hartman. PURDUE SCORED again in the first inning with Gorgal leading off with a walk. Berberian went out, but Chinewicz scratched an infield single, and Gorgal scored when Captain Stanley Aders was thrown out at first. There was no further scoring until the top of the eighth when. Michigan knotted the score on a long fly by Morrill, sending in Baker from third. Baker started the inning with a single, had advanced to second on a sacri- fice by Bill Bucholz, and to third on another one-bagger by Ted Berce. But the Boilermakers came right back in their turn at bat to tally the deciding marker. KEN .GORGAL led of f with a booming triple. Taft then settled down to strike out Berberian. He got Chinewicz out too, but it was on a long fly to Morrill and Gorgal scored after the catch. Aders then struck out and the game was called. Morrill and Hal Raymond both banged out a double and a sin- gle in the losing cause with Bak- er, Bucholz, and Berce contribu- ting one-basers. Walter "Bud" Rankin pitched the eighth inning of the fii st game when Smith was removed for a pinch-hitter. Smith struck out eight men while he was on the mound but five passes helped lead to his downfall. The Boilermaker ace, Henson whiffed five, but didn't walk a man. Third-sacker Ted Kobrin re-in- jured his leg in the first contest and was replaced in the lineup by Berce. By MERLE LEVIN An army of high school athletes -850 of 'em-invaded Michigan's Yost Field House for nine hours yesterday and then departed, leav- ing behind them a trail or broken records - and hearts. The occasion was the 10th an- nual River Rouge invitational Track Meet, a marathon indoor affair which was witnessed by some 3,500 students representing 99 Michigan high schools. * * * NO LESS THAN 11 records fell by the wayside as the young track stars made an all-out assault on the record books throughout the afternoon and evening. Lanky Jack Goodridge, a red- headed speedster from Dundee igh set the pattern for the meet as he cracked the class C- D record for the 65-yard high hurdles in the first preliminary event of the meet. Eight hours later Goodridge steamed across the finish line as the anchor man for Dundee's rec- ord-breaking 880-yd. relay team to account for the last of the new marks. * * * BETWEEN THE Dundee ace's two record-breaking efforts which earned him the "most valuable" award in his division and enabled his team to take the C-D title, the cheering crowd had witnessed more than half a hundred con- tests on the crowded field house turf.j Little Eugene Johnson, a 5 ft., 5 in. freshman from River Rouge High, one of the first titlists, he leaped 5 ft., 11;! inches, six inches over his head, to win the class B high jump and establish a new record for the event. But the tiny high jumper had to surrender the honor of receiv- ing the first of the 39 first place medals handed out. That distinc- tion went to Dick Fisher of Tren- ton who proudly paraded to the awards table after establishing a new class B shot put mark. BY WAY OF CONTRAST in the high jump department, Milt Mead a gangling 6 ft., 6 in. bean pole, who also starred at center for Bay City Central's strong basket- ball squad last winter, cleared the bar at 6 ft., 2% inches to set a new class A mark in his specialty and win the "most valuable" award in that division. Michigan-bound Dave Hill, Ypsilanti Central's great right halfback and hurdler raced to easy victories in both the high and low hurdles to pace his team to the class B title and garner the B "most valuable" award. Another football standout, all- state guard Dave Schiesswohl, of Saginaw Arthur Hill, held the cen- ter of the stage for a good part of the evening as he consistently shattered the mark of 50 ft., 6 in. he set last year in the shot put. SCHIESSWOHL'S best effort of 53 ft.,9'/z in. failed to bring even a trace of a smile to his lips. "That's not so good," said the husky senior, who had broken 55 feet in the past. Jere McMillan of Birmingham High, whose father, Bocoaches the Detroit Lions football team, also came in for a good deal of attention. A solid 190-pounder, Jere finished third in the 60-yard dash which led to plenty of spec- ulation concerning his football prowess. He's a right halfback but he wasn't eligible last year as a transfer student. Maple Lea fs' Beat Wings 3-, for Cup TORONTO-(G-The Toronto Maple Leafs won the Stanley-Cup,. professional hockey's highest award, for the third straight year last night, beating the Detroit Red Wings, 3-1, to sweep the best ol seven series in four straight games. The triumph marked the first time since professional clubs be- an contesting for the coveted cup in 1917 that one team has wo the silverware three consecutivc years. The Wings took a 1-0 lead during the first three minutes of play with Left Winger Ted Lindsay shoving the puck home after passes from George Gee and Gordie Howe. Young Ray Timgren tied it up for the Leafs shortly after the halfway mark of the second pe- riod when he batted home Max Bentley's rebound. Fiery Cal .Gardner shoved the Leafs ahead when he netted with only 15 sec- onds of play remaining in th middle session. Bentley sent hom the final marker during the las five minutes of play with Timgred setting him up.

Stan Feldman replaced Plain in the second and finished the game with a six hit job.

Each team scored four runs in the first inning. The Giants' clus- ter was due mainly to the gener- osity of Satchel Paige, who started for the Indians and promptly walked the first four batters to face him. * * * PHILADELPHIA - A seventh inning home run by Eddie Wait- kus with one man on base broke a 2-2 tie and game the Phillies a 4-2 victory over the Atletics yesterday.

LOS ANGELES-(P)-Michigan State and Southern California battled to a 61-61 tie in an inter- sectional track and field duel yes- terday before 12,293 fans in Mem- orial Coliseum. USC went into the- final event, the one mile relay, needing a vic- tory to tie the score. They won the relay by a wide margin, with anchorman Bob Chambers of USC holding on to a 50 ft. lead over Michigan State's gritty Jack Dia- netti on the final lap. The time was 3:17. *m* MEL PATTON, 1948 National Collegiate sprints king, lagged be- hind Johnson until 10 yards be- fore the finish. He kicked through to win by a foot or less. Chambers, with a stronger' stride, likewise came from be- hind to nip Dianetti by a foot in the 440 yard run. Fred Johnson, national AAU broad jump champion, hit 25 ft., 2 in. to easily win this event. * * * THE HERALDED DUEL between Dianetti and Chambers in the 880 failed to materialize. Both dropped out after 440 yards. Both trailed the field, and both, tired from the 440 yard run, were saving them- selves to anchor the relay teams.
