The Wolverines swept both ends of a combination meet with two Conference foes, defeating Ohio r State, 20-16, and Michigan State, 29Y2-6Y2. VICTORY OVER the Buckeyes came only after a bitter battle which. wasn't decided until the "X last of the day's 12 individual matches was completed. Captain Dick Evans was the sharpest golfer in the entire field, as he captured the medal with a 36-hole total of 142 strokes, two under par. He tossed a blanket over 111'/2 of the 12 possible points he could have won from his opponets, Bob Anderson of Ohio and Don Perne of the Spartans. AN IMPOSSIBLE lie behind a tree on the 18th hole caused Evans y- to shoot away from the green on his second swing, enabling Ander- son' to sneak in for a split of one t point, marring Dick's otherwise perfect record. Dean Lind of Michigan fash- toned two r~ounds into a 149 mnark to finish second best. He collected four of six possible& from Ohio's number two player, Don' Johnson, and all of six from Michigan State's Reggie Myles. The tightest duel of the day was between the number one golfers, Tom Nieporte of the Bucks and Wolverine Bob Olson. THEY DIVIDED three points over the first 18 holes, and going into the 17th on their second round they were still deadlocked. Olson weakened momentarily to muff a 30-inch putt and Nieporte took full advantage to score a one stroke victory good for 21/ of the three team points at stake. Neither Olson nor Nieporte were equal to the pace set by Evans, Olson carding 152 and the Ohio ace 151. It remained for Hugh Wright, playing in the number six spot, toII nail'down the edge over the Buck- eyes. He made the 27-hole turn in the twilight with four out of four points already in the bag, and then came down the stretch to clip the two remaining markers from Jim Tewart on the final nine holes. U.S. Captures WalkerCup BIRKDALE, Eng. - (PM - The United States gave the British their once-every-two-years glimpse of the Walker Cup yesterday, then wrapped up the big golf trophy to return it to its perennial Ameri- can home. The British fought with amaze- ing strength to prevent that re- curring trip, but they bowed in the end, six matches to three, with three halved. THE THREE British victories were over a trio of America's fin- est players -- Frank Stranahan, Charlie Coe, and the American Captain, Willie Turnesa. Sam Urzetta, Jim McHale, Bill Campbell, Dick Chapman, and Harold Paddock Jr., scored vic- tories for the United States.

SOBLE'S winning broad jump was also better than any other Conference jumper has been able to do. Teammate Horace Coleman finished second behind Soble, while Jesse Thomas of Michigan State was third. Commenting on the fine show- ing of Jacobi, MEwen, Konrad, Soble, Whiteaker, and the rest of the Wolverine track team, Coach Don Canham said, "When you have a bunch of great co- petitors such as the Michigan trackmnen, you come to expect anything." Michigan's othe winners were Tom Johnson with a 142' 9/2" flip of the discus, Joe LaRue in the 440, Captain Don Hoover in the 120-yrd high hurdles, and the mile relay team of Whiteaker, Herb Neuman, Konrad, and LaRue. The Wolverines' Tom Emblad and Arnold Smith of Michigan State tied for first place in the pole vault with a jump of 12' 6", while Bob Evans and Bud Sexton of Michigan, and Ray McKay and Alex Andrulis of the Spartans, all tied for first in the high jump with a leap of 5' 11". f * # ONE MILE RUN: Won by Don McEwen (M); WarrenlDreutzler (MSC), second; James Kepford (MSC), third.

Only the big one now remains, the annual spring game to be held in the stadium next Saturday. There will be no charge for any- body interested in making the trek up to Stadium Hill. ALONG WITH the gamne, which fitingly climaxes a six week drill in pigskin fundamentals, the win- ner of the Myer-Morton award to the gridder who has shown the most improvement will be an- nounced. Special to The Daily EAST LANSING-Smashing out thirteen hits for fifteen runs, a thoroughly rejuvenated Michigan baseball team blasted Michigan State, 15-1, here yesterday, for their first conference win in seven starts. Southpaw Bob Larsen went the distance for the Wolverines, as his neat three hit curve ball hurling struck out six batters. He walked *three - Spartan catcher Chuck Joblonski all three times.. MICHIGAN started fast, tally-1 ing their first run of a long after- noon in the first inning, whenj Wolverine Captain Leo Koceski doubled home shortstop Bruce Haynam. In the second inning, Michi- gan second baseman Gil Sabuco smacked the game's long home run over the right field barrier, scoring right fielder Bill Mogk, who had 'previously singled.' The Wolverines continued the! rout, scoring three more runs in the third, three in the fifth, and one in the sixth. THE SEVENTH inning opened with pitchers Larsen striking out. Center fielder,.Frank Howell walk- ed, then stole second. When Spar- tan hurler Bill Howard threw wild to second on an attempted pick-off play, Howell advanced to third. Haynam hit an easy grounder to the Spartan second sacker who bobbled the ball, allowing Howell to score. Koceski sinlgled, and catcher Pete Palmer walked.

Don Oldham drew the most at- tention with several sparkling runs. Ted Kress, Bill Putich and Tom Witherspoon also got off on long jaunts.

State's losing pitcher Tom Law- son and Captain and center fielder Vince Magi got the other two safeties off Larsen. Magi °pled a tremendous 402 foot drive to deep center that was good for three bases. Howell made a great try for the ball, and just missed pulling it in.

The big swinger from Shaker Heights, Ohio found himself in a fa miliar spot when the 36-hole action had subsided-ahead of the pack by a wide margin of seven strokes. He teed of unceremoniously in the number three match early in the morning, playing once again in the shadow of Michigan's most publicized golfer, Bob Olson, who seems to have some sort of a monopoly on the number one position. That didn'tr Prevent Evans from going right to the front in the scoring, however. Putter Takes a Beating A T THE OUTSET it'looked as though he was headed for real trouble. 0n the very first green he flubbed a tiny two-foot putt for a bogey five, and as he strode toward the second tee he whacked his putter into the ground-and broke it! H~e calmly called his caddy aside and sent him scampering back to the clubhouse after another instrument, and then pro- ceeded to stroke toward the next green which fortunately was 545 yards in the distance. The new putter arrived just in time for him to tap in a birdie putt and send him on his way even with par. He was more careful from that point on as he added two more birds to make the turn in 34. It looked like he had a record in the making when he hit his tenth consecutive green for another birdie on number ten, but he lost the touch for a spell and was saddled with four bogeys to finish the first round with a par '72. He fought, scrambled and swung his way to a neat 70 on his afternoon excursion for medalist distinction, and a big edge over Ohio State, traditional golfing arch-rival of Michigan. Three Title Contenders T HE EVENT brought together three of the top candidates for this year's individual Western Conference golfing title, Olson, Evans and Tom Nieporte of the Buckeyes. The latter was second to champion Fred Wampler in last year's tournament at Columbus. Evans was sixth in the field and first for Michigan in the same playoffs, while Olson was ineligible to compete. Nieporte and Olson can play better golf than they displayed ,yesterday. Evans can play better only if his putter quits failing him in crucial spots. He has no peer on the tees and fairways but the greens have always meant trouble for him. Even with the ball~y putter he usually cards scores that threaten standard figures. Yesterday he was talking to himself and the ball after some of his putts went awry. On the 14th green he spent at least three minutes convincing *everyone that he was about to miss a 30-incher, only to slide it neatly into the cup. Kie ppl er Feels the Pain COACH BOB KEPPLER of Ohio State was on hand yesterday in his Ctraditional scarlet sport coat to get some indication of what to expect from the Wolverines when they meet again in Evanston later this month for the Big Ten Championships. The dapper Buckeye coach must feel the pain every time one of his teams r'uns up against Evans, who could just as well be an Ohio friend instead of a bitter foe. The big Michigan captain is quite proud of the fact that he was the 1949 Amateur Champion of Ohio. Last year an attack of appendicitis hampered his defense of the state crown, but he may return this summer to try to regain it, much to the chagrin of Ohio State boosters. Besides being the top Michigan golfer in my book, Evans rates as one of the finest young Wolverine athletes from a. personality standpoint. The popular lad was ,followed by an appreciative gallery yesterday, including his father and mother who had driven from their home in suburban Cleveland to witness another in their son's long list of successes. IDick will be rated only as a darkhorse contender for the crown at Evanston in a couple of weeks but his winning complex cannot be overlooked. Once again the passing was on the spotty side. Either the passer couldn't get rid of the ball be- fore he had to eat it or the re- ceivers dropped the pigskin. JUST ABOUT everybody got into the passing act. Kress, Putich, Oldham, Dick Balzhiser and Don ZanFagna'took turns chucking the ball, all having about equal success. Ends Bary McDermott and Tim Greene were the most reliable tar- gets for the paspers. Green and Tad Stanford went for considerable yardage on the end around, with wingmen George Dutter and Bob Top also carrying occasionally. Dave Tinkham, right half on of- fense but left half on defense, proved to be a rough customer on defense for the Red squad. On one play Tink drifted the width of the field to stop Tom Witherspoon with a beautiful tackle.
