Bromberg meets ANOTHER DEADLOCK: Conference Title Third Straight for 'M' Nine By HAROLD TANNER Michigan's 1950 baseball squad was the seventh Maize and Blue nine in the last ten years to emerge on top of the heap in the Big Ten title chase. This year's edition of Coach Ray Fisher's baseball machine tied with Wisconsin for the crown, both teams having records of nine wins and three losses. THE DEADLOCK for the con- ference flag was the third in suc- cession for Michigan which has not finished below the .500 mark in Big Ten action since 1938. Since 1841, the Wolverines have clearly dominated the Big Nine-standings. In 1941 and 1942 the Maize and Blue copped un- disputed possession of first place and repeated this performance in 1944 and 1945 before sharing the title in 1948. The tie with Wisconsin also was the 13th for Fisher since he took over the reins here in 1921. LENNIE BRUMM ... wins one, loses one * * * Ed Wagoner of Purdue in semis. -* * * theI RELIABLE Lennie Brumm came from behind to down Dennis Dunne of Minnesota by the score of 6-3, 6-2. Brumm will face first seeded Curt Morsell, Northwest- ern, in a key match for the Wol- verines.

Russler will have his hands full with top seeded Bob- Bennorth of Illinois in a semi-final match today. In the doubles, the duo of Mac- Kay and Hetzeck disposed of Bud Little and Sonny Bradley of Illi- nois 6-2, 8-6. The Wolverine co- captains are favored to meet Golden and Landin of Northwest- ern in the finals. BROMBERG and Lincoln team- ed to down Curt Morsell and Scott Pieters of Northwestern in the best match of the day, 9-7, 6-2. In, the first'set, it was see-saw all the way with each team win- ning. on service till the Michigan combination finally broke Pieters serve to win 9-7.
