41 SUNDAY, MAY 41952E MICHIGAN DAILY PAGE THEE Michigan Nine Splits Two Games Two Hitter by Corbett Fails To Stop Minnesota Special To The Daily MINNEAPOLIS -- Michigan's baseball team lost its first West- ern Conference game yesterday losing to Minnesota, 2-1, in the first half of their double-header. The diamond squad, led by the pitching of southpaw Mary Wis- niewski, came on in the second game to win, 3-0, and salvage at least a tie for first place in the Big Ten. GOPHER Paul Giel pitched and batted hisk team to victory over- Michigan, the win breaking an eight-game winning streak of the Maize and Blue and stopping the personal four-game skein of pitch- er Jack Corbett. Corbett gave up two doubles, one walk, and hit one batsman over the nine-inning route, but the Minnesota squad made the most of its opportunities. Frank Howell started the Wol- verines off on the right foot in the first inning when he blasted out his fourth home-run of the season. But in the sixth, the Gophers tied the score as clean-up batter Gene Elder slammed a double to score right-fielder Frank Larson who had drawn a walk. * * * THEN GIEL came through with his two-base knock in the eighth to chase in Jerry Clouthier who had been hit by a pitch and that was the ball game. Giel, who quarterbacked the Minnesota foot- ball team last fall, pitched fine ball, striking out six and walking only one man. Howell and pitcher Corbett both got a pair of base hits for Michigan, but Giel had the stuff in the clutches and after the first inning he hung up eight goose eggs next to the "Visitors" bracket on the score-board. Don Eaddy blasted out his sixth triple of the season but was left stranded with what turned out to be the tying run. In the abbreviated night-cap, Wisniewski hurled his way to his third consecutive shutout. He gave only five singles and kept up the day's trend toward hitting pitchers by getting two safeties and batting in a run. * * * OUTFIELDER Paul Lepley was the pivotal figure in Michigan's second game offense. He set up the first run in the second inning when he singled Eaddy, who had walked, to third. Eaddy scored promptly thereafter on an infield out by Bill Billings. Lepley led things off in the two- run seventh inning by singling. Billings then sacrificed him to second, he took third on a wild pitch offered up by Gopher Al Andersen and and Lepley came. home when Gil Sabuco rifled out a base hit. Dick Leach then got another single but Sabuco was thrown out going to third on the hit, Leach taking second on the throw. Wis- niewski then brought home the Wolverines' third run of the game with his second hit. Wisniewski didn't look as sharp as he did against Ohio State last Saturday, but he won handily, scattering five hits and walking three.

The Wolverine quartet of John Moule, Bill Hickman, John Ross, and Captain Don McEwen, topped the previous mark, held by. the University of Kansas, by 7.3 sec- onds in winning a special race in Ypsilanti. COACH DON CANHAM had ar- ranged the event to give his har- riers a shot at the new American Record set last week in the Drake Relays by Kansas. The team justi- fied his confidence with a ven- gence and blasted the old mark of 17:15.9 to bits. Moule, a freshman, ran the opening leg in the unofficial time of 4:19.6. His .time estab- lished a new freshman record and broke his own previous rec- ord of 4:19.9. Moule, a steadily improving runner, had turned in that clocking last week. Hickman, the only American member of the team, followed with a 4:21.6 clocking for the eight furlong gallop. Ross took his pass and chipped in with a 4:16.1 mile. ANCHOR MAN McEwen ran his mile with the rhythmical clapping of the crowd rooting him home. The flying Scot turned in a mag- nificent kick in his final quarter, for which the fans gave him a standing ovation. His time was a beautiful 4:11.3, the best of the day. C o a c h Canham, naturally happy, said, "It was a truly great performance, especially f i n e since all four men had to go out in front and set their own pace." * * * IN ITS ONLY other attempt at the record in the Penn relays the Wolverine team was slowed by rain and mud and deprived of an op- portunity for a record by the mis- measured track. Saturday the entire team will journey to Champaign to take on the fighting Illini in a dual meet. It will be a prevue of the Big Ten Championships to be run in Ann Arbor May 30 and 31. Links Squad FIRST CONFERENCE WIN: Drubs Host Mann Leads Netmen to 7-2 Triumph Over Northwestern FEARSOME FOURSOME-This Michigan four mile relay team set a new American record in Ypsilanti yesterday. They are, from left to right, John Moule, Bill Hickman, John Ross, and Don McEwen. Six Lettermen Return at End To Strengthen ichigan Line <.; By ALAN PRICE With six lettermen ends and one veteran center on hand the Michigan grid squad appears to be well fortified at these two vital positions. Captain Merritt Green heads the list of returning wingmen that includes Lowell Perry, Bob Ding- man, Leo Schlicht, Gene Knutson, and Thad Stanford. Graduation losses at the flanks were Russ Os- terman, defensive left end, and offensive end Fred Pickard. GREEN, defensive end last sea-I son, may be slated for double duty during the coming campaign be- cause of his speed and blocking ability. Perry is counted on to pro- vide plenty of offensive punch at left end. Last year he led the Wolverine scoring parade with 30 points on five touchdowns, caught 16 passes for 395 yards, and was an elusive ball carrier on end around plays. The Ypsilanti speed- ster was also used at the defensive safety position where he was out- standing on pass defense and punt returns. According to Bill Orwig, end coach, Stanford is very much improved over last year, and should play an important part in plans for the fall campaign. Finding a replacement for Os- terman at the defensive right end spot is perhaps the biggest prob- lem facing Orwig at this time. Knutson, Stanford, and George Dutter are likely prospects for the job, although several others are in contention. Among the new men who have impressed the coaching staff in early drills are Stan Bounds, a first semester freshman from Flint, Michigan, Dick Rex, and John Veselenak. Dick O'Shaughnessy, last year's only letterman at center,, is ex- pected to again -hold down the offensive pivot spot. O'Shaughnes- sy captured the Western Confer- ence 177 pound wrestling cham- pionship in March, and he report- ed for spring practice in fine physical condition.

It was the fifth triumph in the Derby both for Calumet Farm and jockey Eddie Arcaro, and the sixth for trainer Ben Jones. * * * NO OTHER owner, jockey or trainer can match this record. The fleet Hill Gail, favorite from the start, was two lengths in front of the 15 other three- year-old thoroughbreds when he completed the mile and a quart- er in near record time. The second horse was Sub Fleet of Charles T. Fisher's Dixiana stable. Blue Man, owned by A. W. Abbott, finished third. A ROARING crowd, estimated by Churchill Downs at a record- breaking 110,000 persons, saw Hill Gale travel the Derby course in 2 PHOTOS COPIED -20 Wal"et-Si'e 2 De Luxe Prints $1.00 Original picture returned.

Blue Man was second choice in the betting. Hill Gail's performance earned $96,350 for his owners, the fabu- lous Lexington, Ky., thoroughbred factory owned by Mrs. Warren Wright. Until today Calumet was tied in Kentucky Derby victories with the late E. R. Bradley's rec- ord of four won. * * * THE TOTAL purse for the race was $124,350. The MICHIGAN CREW CUT!! The track was fast and dry with a warm sun beating down and Hill Gail came within a fifth of a second of the 2:01 2/5 Der- by track record established by Whirlaway in 1941. Arcaro rode for Ben Jones, and Calumet, in that one, too. Hill Gail, a handsome dark bay son of Bull Lea-Jane Gail, had tipped his class before a Louis- ville crowd last Tuesday when he went the one mile derby trial in a romp and broke the track record.
