The Wolverine quartet of Aaron Gordon,, Jack!Carroll, John Ross, and Don McEwen turned in a 9:56.3 performance to better by 3.1 seconds the old mark set by North Texas State Teacher's Col- lege in 1938. NO TEAM champion was named for the 14-event festivities in which seven teams and several unattached performers matched their talents. In the record-making relay event the Wolverine quartet lagged behind at first, but didn't .,, lose any time in closing up the lost ground. Gordon, running the half mile, finished the opening leg in third place with a time of 1:54.2. Car- roll followed with a terrific 46.1 quarter mile to bring the Wol- verines into the second spot. Then Ross sped his team into the lead as he was clocked in 3:04.8 for the three-quarters mile. Mc- Ewen's 4:11.2 mile widened the first place margin and anchored securely the new world's standard for Michigan. * . s WOLVERINE coach Don Can- ham also fulfilled his intention of winning the four mile relay. The foursome of John Moule, Bill Hickman, and again Ross and McEwen won with ease in 17:25.4. Milt Mead came out literally "on top" in his personal high jump duel with Illinois' Ron Mitchell. The lanky Wolverine leaped .x feet, six and three-eighths Sluggers Rifle 26 Home Runs NEW YORK-(R)-The rabbit ball made its first appearance of the young 1952 season yesterday as major league batters connected for 26 home runs in nine games. Andy Pafko cracked two homers and Carl Furillo, Roy Campanella and Duke Snider one each against the Giants to lead Brooklyn to its fifth straight victory. Campanel- la, Pafko and Snider homered in succession in the seventh to tie a major league record shared by many. Whitey Lockman collected two homers and Willie Mays and Wes Westrum one each for the Giants. Other men to slam homers were Sam Jethroe and Ed Mathews of the Braves; the Phil's Gran Ham- mer; Hank Sauer and Frank Baumholtz, Cubs; Grady Hatten, Bobby Adams and Andy Seminick of Cincinnati; Johnny Merson, Pittsburgh; Larry Doby and Luke Easter, Cleveland; Detroit's Vic Wertz; Ed Robinson, 1rowns; Ted Lepcio and Don Lenhardt, Red Sox; Joe Tipton, Athletics; and the Senator's Mickey Vernon. inches, an inch higher than Mitchell and Perod Dudard of Ohio State, who tied for second.. Mead and Mitchell had prev- iously whipped each other once. Stanford's Olympic prospect, Otis Chandler, bested Michigan's Big Ten champion Fritz Nilsson in the shot put. Chandler's 55 foot, three and one-third inch heave left him well ahead of Nils- son's 53 foot, nine and one-half inch effort. Nilsson came back to win the discus with a throw of 159 feet, one-half inch. Chandler finished a distant fourth behind Mary Per- schet and Art Twardock, both of Illinois. * * * THE MILE RELAY team of Al Rankin, Dan Hickman, Bill Kon- rad, and Jack Carroll racked up another Wolverine victory as they combined their talents to run a* 3:17.4 mile. Wally Atchison of the Maize and Blue placed second in the 120- yard high hurdles behind Illinois' Joe 'McNulty. The winning time was 14.3. The pole vault also went to the Illini as Dick Coleman cleared 14 feet, two and seven-eighths inches, with the runner-up spot going to Buckeye Jerry Welbourn. Flint Northern Takes River Rouge Crown Two new high school champions and one defender garnered the' major share of the laurels in the' Thirteenth annual River Rouge Invitational indoor track meet at Yost Field House yesterday after- noon and evening. More than a thousand athletes participated in what is generally considered the world's largest indoor high school meet. IN AN UNUSUALLY close finish Flint Northern edged Ann ,Arbor and Dearborn for the Class A crown. Only one point separated the third place teani from the champ. Ecorse the defending Class B champion scored 292 points to top Marshall's 272 and Rose- ville's 27. In another close race East Jackson slipped by Lansing Everet by a mere sixth of a point, 30 to 29 5/6 to take the combined Class C and D crown. Seven records were broken, two in class A competition. Ypsilanti's Jim Seidl turned in a 4:40 mile in romping to an easy win. The pre- vious record of 4:41.4 was held by Jim Arnold of"'Battle Creek. Duane Root of Wyandotte was the only double winner. He set a new record in the low hurdles of 7.6, a tenth better than the old mark. Root also won the high hurdles in the time of 8.2 tying the record. Fisher Nine Stops Wayne On Two Hits (Continued from page 1) feat, Wisniewski was in, com- mand of the Tartars through- out. He struck out 13 men in his eight inning stint, fanning all but one of the Wayne starting nine at least once. He was in trouble only in the second inning when he loaded the bases on three walks after two were out. However, Croteau fanned to end the threat. Wisniewski walked two other Tartars, but only one more man reached second. He set the side down in order in four innings. Tomorrow the Wolverines con- tinue their long home stand of six games in eight days when a strong Notre Dame team will meet Michigan Golfers Defeat Boilermakers, Buckeyes Fraser Cards 150 To Share Top Honors With Cardi of Ohio State in Colunbus Meet special To The Daily1 COLUMBUS - Michigan's 1952 golfers got off to a flying start in Conference play with a triangular meet victory over Purdue and Ohio State here yesterday afternoon. Led by John Fraser, who carded 150 for the 36 holes, the Wolver- ines downed the Boilermakers, 231/2-121/2, and trounced the Buck- eyes, 25%-101. Purdue defeated Ohio State, 22-14. * * s IN DEFEATING Purdue and Ohio State, the Wolverines stopped two of the three teams which are expected to battle it out with Michigan for the Big Ten title' next month. The other strong team in the Conference is Iowa. Ohio State and Purdue fin- ished one-two in the Big Ten championships last year at Evanston#as the Wolverines came home fourth, three points behind the Boilermakers. The Wolverines got off to a good start on the 'first 18 holes, as Fraser, Dean Lind, and Russ John-' son shot one-over-par 73's. At the halfway mark Michigan led Pur- due, 10/2-72, and Ohio State, 111/2-611. * * * FRASER added a 77 on his sec- ond 18, and thus shared medalist honors for the meet with Francis Cardi of the Buckeyes who put together scores of 77 in the morn- ing and 73 in the afternoon for his 150 total. Purdue's medalist was Norm Dunlop with a 152 total for the 36 holes. Behind Fraser for the Wolver- ines were Lind, with a second 18 of 79 for a 152 total, and Johnson, with an afternoon score of 81 for a 154 total Rounding out the Michigan team were Hugh Wright and Lowell LeClaire with 156's and Dick Evans, who carded a 158 for the 36 holes. All three shot morn- ing rounds of 79. * * * THE SCORING for the meet was based on medal play, one point being given for each nrine and one additional point for' the low score on each 18. With six men playing on each team, 18 points were recorded in both the morning and afternoon rounds. Michigan showed much better golf in the morning than it did in the afternoon with an average of 76 per man on the first 18. The Wolverines open their home golf season against the University of Detroit on the University Golf Course Wednesday afternoon. -Daily-Don Campbell MICHIGAN'S PAUL LEPLEY SCORES ON DOUBLE STEAL Brownies Prove Early Season Surprise Hurlers Lead Way During First Week By RODNEY COOK The opening of the regular sea- son five days ago signalled the end of the holidays for all the major league baseball clubs. The big surprise of the young season is the St. Louis Browns' neck and neck run with the, Cleveland Indians for top billing in the American League. * * * WHAT IS even more startling is the 'way St. Louis has won. Ned Garver opened with a six hit, nine strikeout shutout of the Tig- ers. The Brownie whiz got a couple of hits on his own hook. Next day wild man Tommy Byrne walked only three batters in tripping the Bengals and then Bob Cain went the route to sweep the series. __ _ them at 3:30 diamond.
