By DAN GEREB
"In addition to being a topnotch
two-miler, Justin Williams is one
of the best captains a Michigan
track team has ever had."
This candid opinion expressed
by Wolverine track coach, Don
Canham, just about sums up the
short but brilliant track career of
:Justin Williams which will be con-
cluded in the record books upon
graduation this June.
* ~* *
PROBABLY THE MOST re-
markable thing about Williams is
the fact that in the 1949-50 in-
door season, the Michigan cap-
tain consistently bettered his time
in the two mile race and eventu-
ally wound up as the fourth best
two-miler in the Big Ten.
In indoor meets this past sea-
son, Williams improved his time
in four successive meets. He cov-
ered the two-miles in 9:34.5
against Wisconsin, 9:29.7 against
Illinois, and in the closing dual
meet with Ohio State, he ran
9:26 flat.
As a fitting climax to his sea-
son feats, he ran his best indoor
race in the rousing Western Con-
ference finale at Illinois.

To Rangers
In Over time
DETROIT,-(P)-The coura-
yeous New York Rangers sur-
prised the Detroit Red Wings with
a 4-3 overtime victory yesterday
to tie their Stanley Cup hockey
championship series at two games
apiece.
The New Yorkers trailed the
National Hockey League Cham-
pions by two goals after the first
17 minutes of play and looked
hopelessly outclassed in that first
.period and most of the second.
* * *
BUT THE RANGERS stunned
13,557 fans and the Detroit club
by surging back into the game
late in the second period.
Center Don Raleigh of the
Rangers' sank a beautiful 15-
foot backhand shot at 8:34 of
an overtime period. He got the
shot away even as he was fall-
ing to the ice.
The victory meant the clubs
will have to play at least two more
games, tomorrow and Saturday, to
settle their scrap for possession of
the ancient Stanley Cup.
If a seventh game of the best-
of-seven series is necessary, it will
be played Sunday night. All of
the games are scheduled on De-
troit ice.

By The Associated Press
NEW YORK-The 1950 major
league baseball season opened in
explosive, fashion yesterday with
action featured by upsets, thrilling
comebacks, lusty hitting, large
crowds, and a deluge of balks.
The heaviest explosion occurred
in Boston's Fenway Park where
the world champion New York
Yankees turned an apparent hope-
less defeat into victory by blasting
five Red Sox pitchers for a nine-
run eighth inning. The big out-
burst enabled the Yankees to come
from behind and defeat Boston,
15-10.
THE DEFEAT was a bitter one
for Joe McCarthy's men and the
31,833 Red Sox fans since Boston
led 9-0 after four innings and ap-
peared on the way to a one-sided

triumph over the team that edged
it out of the 1949 pennant on the
final day of the season. When the
Yankees staged their big rally they
were behind 10-4.
Philadelphia's hustling young
Phillies provided the biggest
upset by shelling Don Newcombe
off the mound in the second inn-
ing and going on to whip the
National League champion
Brooklyn Dodgers, 9-1. It was
the Phils who acted as stepping
stones for the Brooks' march to
the flag last year, losing the final
game of the year to the Dodgers.
Detroit's improved Tigers knock-
ed Bob Lemon out of the box in
the eighth inning to defeat the
Indians, 7-6, in 10 innings before
65,744 in Cleveland. That was the
biggest opening day crowd in the
nation. Johnny Lipon's fly drove
in Dick Kryhoski with the winning
run.
IN A GAME that featured five
home runs, the Boston Braves
pounded out an 11-4 triumph over
the New York Giants before 32,-
441 opening day Polo Grounds
fans. Rookie Sam Jethroe blasted
a home run for the Braves as did
Connie Ryan and Bob Elliott. Hen-
ry Thompson and Whitey Lock-
man hit four baggers for the
Giants.

In another free-hitting game,
the Washington Senators push-
ed across five runs in the first
inning and hung on to outlast
the Philadelphia Athletics, 8-7.
A crowd of 31,548, including
President Harry S. Truman saw
Mickey Harris come to the res-
cue of winning pitcher Rae Scar-
borough with two-hit pitching
over the last four innings.
The Chicago Cubs, who weren't
supposed to have any batting
punch, clubbed out 13 hits, in-
cluding three home runs, to down
the Cincinnati Reds, 9-6. The
Reds accumulated 14 hits, includ-
ing a pinch hit homer by Bob Ush-
er. An overflow Cincinnati crowd
of 31,213 saw Johnny Schmitz to:
Lefty Ken Raffensberger on the
mound.
ROOKIE Ken Wood smacked a
pair of doubles and batted in three
runs to help the St. Louis Browns
defeat the Chicago White Sox
5-3. Ned Garver contributed some
fine clutch pitching to earn a tril-
umph over Bill Wight before 9,987
Chicago fans.
As everybody anticipated, the
new balk rule raised hob with the
pitchers.

Feature Week's IM Program

By BOB ROSENMAN
With fair weather in the offing,
Michigan's golf team will face the
University of Detroit Titans in
the Wolverines' first home engage-
ment of the season this afternoon
at 1:00.
The Wolverines, despite three
losses in their Southern trip last
week, have been shooting fine
golf, and will need top perfor-
mances from every man if they
expect to beat the experienced
Titan squad.
DETROIT'S LINKSMEN are led
by three of last year's standouts,
Sam Kocsis, Roy Iceberg, and last
year's captain, John Povlitz, plus
a newcomer, Roy Nelson.
Kocsis, brother of nationally-
known star, Chuck, has been a
standout for the Titans for the
past two years. Last year he
won both his matches against
Michigan, shooting 73 and 75 to
net 52 points against 2 for
his two Wolverine opponents,
including a 21-Y2 win over Ed
Schalon, one of the Wolverine
golfers' bright lights last year.
Despite Kocsis' terrific s oot-
ing, however, the Wolveriness tri-
umphed twice over the U. of D.
in two starts last year, beating the
Titans 30-6 on the University golf
course and topping the Detroiters,
271/2-81/2~ at the Red Run Golf
Course in Detroit.
* 'I *
WHETHER THE MEET will be
a six-man or eight-man affair is
still undecided, but Michigan
Coach Bert Katzenmeyer has al-
ready selected four men to face the
Titans tomorrow. Bob Olson,

Chuck McCallum, Dean Lind, and
John Fraser definitely will be
ready, though the other positions
are still doubtful.
The Wolverines will be at a
slight advantage on their home
course, the scene of their Confer-
ence golf championship of last
season.

Newell as Bask(
EAST LANSING,-(P)-Michi-
gan State College reached out to
the west coast yesterday for a
new basketbal coach.
The Spartans announced the
appointment of Peter F. (Pete)
Newell of the University of San
Francisco. To avoid any mixup,
Newell was on the campus to con-
firm the appointment.
* * *
JUST 10 days ago the college an-
nounced Wilbur N. (Sparky) Stal-
cup had been appointed to the
job. Stalcup, still at the Univer-
sity of Missouri, called the an-
nouncement "premature" and the
deal fell through.
Newell, 34, had an excellent
record since he took over at the
west coast university in 1946.
His 1948-49 team won the
National Invitational Tourna-
ment at New York's Madison
Square Garden in 1949.
This past season the team had a
season's record of 19 wins and

seven losses. The team was in the
National Invitational again, but
was knocked out in the first round
by City College of New York, the
eventual winner.

Life Saving instructors course,'
baseball, and All-Campus Rifle
shooting are slated to get under
way this week according to Earl
Riskey, Intra-Mural director.

ular practice sessions are sche-
duled, and starting on Monday,
May 1st, record shooting will be-
gin with 40 rounds prone and 10

THERE ARE three divisions ff
competition. Those that have nev-
er fired in a rifle match are to en-
roll in the novice class. The next
rung on the ladder is the marks-
man class for those that never fir-
ed in a registered match. The top
competitors will be in the expert
division.
Veterans and members of the
R.O.T.C. are permitted to enter
the tourney. The only qualifica-
tion to enter is submitting an
entry blank at the I-M office by
Saturday April 22nd.
Baseball play gets started next
week with games scheduled for
5:30 each evening. These games
are played on the freshman basl-
ball diamond.
* * *
THERE IS still room for two
teams in the six team league.
Those who are interested in join-
ing the league are to contact Rod
Grambeau at the I-M office.
Practice games start this week.
Anyone who has a Senior Life
Saving award can sign up for
the instructors course by next

week. The course is conducted at
7 p.m. for the next three weeks
by a representative of the Amer-
ican Red Cross.
The semi-finals of the frater-
nity water polo will be played at
5:00 p.m. Friday afternoon. Phi
Kappa Psi is pitted against Alpha
Ta Omega, and Delta Kappa Epsi-
lon will face Phi Delta Theta.
Out-door All-Campus tennis
singles entries close April 26th.
The tournament gets underway
April 28th at the I-M courts.
In addition there is a tennis

After a long delay caused by
forfeit, Phi Delta Theta whipped
Chi Psi, 47-27, for the fraternity
basketball title yesterday after-
noon at the Intra-Mural building.
George Quillen dropped in 15
points to pace the victors along
with John Ghindia's 14 points.
Fred Picard scored 8 points for
the losers.
Chi Psi was champion for two
days back in March, when they
defeated Phi Kappa Psi 36-35.
However, Les Popp played one
game for the varsity team, and
also appeared in the earlier Phi

Phi Delta Theta protested the

Braves Sign

Taft

Bill Taft, who helped hurl Mich-
igan to ties for the Big Ten cham-
pionship in 1948 and 1949, has
signed to play baseball for the

two pitcher for Michigan, and
last year was the leading moundi-
man until sidelined with a sore
