Phi Chi scored four runs in the first inning and was never headed. * * * LEADING THE'15 hit attack for " Phi Chi were Walt Boerman, Charles Krecke, and Bob Visscher. Each poled out long home runs to give Sheldon all the support he needed. Phi Delta Phi had no trouble in winning the second place playoffs as it defeated Delta Sigma Delta 15-3. The winners exploded for seven hits and 11 runs in the fourth inning to sew up the game. Scoring in every inning, Phi Ep- silon Kappa won the third place playoff by defeating Air Force 13- 4.

VIRGIL TRUCKS ... once in a lifetime ' Nine Faces Indiana, Purdue in Weekend Tilts " DETROIT-(;')-Fireballing Vir- gil Trucks of the Detroit Tigers hurled the season's first no-hit no- run game in the major leagues to- day and did it mostly with control. Just when it looked like Trucks might have to go into extra inn- ings against Washington, hulking Vic Wertz blasted a dramatic two- out home run in the last of the ninth inning to beat the Senators, 1-0. * * * AS WERTZ ROUNDED the bases, Tiger teammates started backslapping Trucks, who hadn't won a game this season and gave up 13 hits in his last trip. Loser Bob Porterfield, who had pitched no-hit ball himself for nearly six innings, sobbed as he told the story of the game's los- ing pitch: "It was a fast ball, knee high on the inside." Trucks, beaming in the club- house at his first no-hit game in 11 seasons in the majors, said, "Control, that was the story. I used my fast ball sparingly." * * * * TRUCKS WALKED one runner in the eighth inning and hit two The Intramural Building will be closed all day Saturday, May 17, due to the IFC Ball that evening. e-Earl Riskey batters with pitched balls in the third and sixth. In the second, Gil Coan reached first safely on second baseman Jerry Priddy's wild throw. Trucks had been discouraged HIajor League Standings early in the season about his lack of control. He had walked: 12 batters in 17 previous inn- Y ings. He went into the first of the ninth not knowing how long hej would have to pitch to win the game.

Until this season he had drop- ped only one match for the Wol- verines in two years of college net play. In this, his final year, Brom- berg has lost matches to Eli Glaz- er of Indiana and Tom Belton of Michigan State. * * * HE FEELS THAT these losses are more than a coincidence since he is in his first year of law school. "You have to put in a lot of time to play top flight tennis, and in law school you just don't have that time." In spite of his somewhat mod- est outlook, Bromberg has done a creditable job on the courts, having a 4-2 record thus far. Both losses were to top men on the conference's best teams. Perhaps Bromberg puts in a lit- tle more time at his studies than others because in the years spent in "lit" school, he became a mem- ber of Phi Eta Sigma, Phi Beta Kappa, and Phi Kappa Phi; all honorary scholarship fraternities. * * * BROMBERG played his first real tennis for Northwestern High School in Detroit from 1946 through 1948. 1948 was his big year there when he took the All- City championship as captain of the Northwestern team. It was also in 1948 that Brom- berg captured the Michigan Jun- ior Doubles crown and won sin- gles in the Wisconsin Junior In- vitational tournament. In 1950 Bromberg put the l-d on his third successive season of undefeated Junior Davis Cup play, being captain and No. 1 man of the Michigan Cup-play squad. THE WIN remembered most by the Wolverine netter came in 1950 when he downed Ted Jax, one time National Boy's champ and an old time rival from another city league school in Detroit, Ham- tramick. Jax held no grudge against Bromberg, for they teamed up the same year to play in var- ious doubles tournaments dur- ing the summer. Bomberg's last of tournament victories may not be as long as some but he has played in the country's top tourneys against such greats as Herbie Flam and Tony Trabert. * * * PERHAPS Bromberg's greatest accomplishment, was in reaching the semi-finals of the U. S. Na- tional Indoor tournament. He has also been in the National Clay Courts and the National Inter- collegiate tourneys. After this year Bromberg plans to abandon tennis altogether as far as tournament play goes, he feels he's getting "too old for the game."

Today's game will start at 3:30 p.m. and tomorrow's double- header will begin at 1:30 p.m. * * * INDIANA AND PURDUE, both second division residents, will at- tempt to put an end to the Wol- verine title hopes, in the three game series. Coach Ernie Andres has only four returning lettermen on his Indiana nine which placed third in the conference last year. The Hoosiers have not fared too well this season sporting a 1-7 won- lost record which is good for the cellar-dwelling position in the Big Ten race. Bert Weber, Don Colnitis, Bill Modolet, form the nucleus of the Hoosier mound corps. Weber has accounted for Indiana's lone con- ference win and has a 1-2 record.j SAM ESPOSITO, chunky short-' stop, is the leading slugger for the Indiana nine. Esposito, cur- rently hitting .321, is touted as a standout replacement for last year's all-Conference shortstop, Gene Ring. Other mainstays for the Hoos- iers are Bill Sampias, catcher, and long ball hitting first-base- man Don Luft. Purdue will be seeking to break its tie with Northwestern for sev- enth place. The Boilermakers have a strong hitting team with Harry Hanes the leading conference clouter registering a sizzling .469, Harold Wallace batting .387 and Norm Banas recording a .310 per- centage. IN CONTRAST with its strong hitting Purdue is the worst field- ing team in the Big Ten having committed 26 errors in eight games. Dick Yirkosky or Jack Corbett will start against Indiana today with Marv Wisniewski being used against Purdue Saturday. WILD'Sm State Street on the Campus I - THE WINNAH!

With LeClaire shooting as he has in his last few matches, Mich- igan is a strong contender for the Big Ten crown. ,; * * ALTHOUGH STARTING out slowly on the spring trip south, he. has shown what determination and practice can do. Despite a 30 mile an hour gale, LeClaire took Med- alist honors in the match last week with Michigan State by carding a 76 and 74 for a total of 150. In a practice round on the tough University course last week, LeClaire carded one of the lowest scores in the last ten years. On the first nine he had a par 36, and then proceeded to shoot a five under par 31 for a robust 67. Golf is nothing new to Lowell, nor is he the first of the LeClaires to play on the Michigan squad. His brother, Keith, who is now in the Physical Education Depart- ment, played on the team in 1949 and 50. LE CLAIRE has been playing golf for as long as he can remem- ber. The Ishpeming linkman play- ed for two years on his, Upper Peninsula high school team, and also for two years on the University High squad. Last year he reached the quar- ter finals for the state cham- pionship only to be matched against Chuck Kocsis and lose out in a close contest. Grid Sessions End Saturday Coach Bennie Oosterbaan will wind up Michigan's 20-day spring gridiron session tomorrow with an intra-squad scrimmage slated to, begin at 9:30 in the morning. The annual intra-squad affair is being staged in the morning so as not to conflict with the Armed Forces Day Parade which will be held in the afternoon. Following the game the Meyer Morton trophy will be presented to the player who has shown the most improvement during the spring grid drills. Last year the award went to end Meritt 'Tim" Green, the pres- ent captain of the 1952 Michigan varsity. This is LeClaire's second year on the Michigan Squad. As both Captain Dean Lind and Dick Ev- ans will be graduating, Coach Bert Katzenmeyer will be relying heav- ily on LeClaire for next year's play. * * * ALTHOUGH usually playing the number three position, in Wednes- day's match with the University of Detroit Katzenmeyer elevated LeClaire to the number two posi- tion. LeClaire immediately arose to the occasion and took a maxi- mum three points from his oppo- nent by carding a 75. LeClaire is a junior in the School of Elementary Education and plans on teaching after gradua- tion. Besides playing golf, Le- Claire also enjoys playing basket- ball during the winter months, if only in anticipation of the arrival of spring and being able to hit the open fairways. 1 , HERE'S THE JUDGES' CHOICE, and a right handsome one it is!
