THURSDAY, APRIL 16, 1953 THE MICHIGAN DAILY PAGE SEVEN __ Yankees Reynolds Tops A's, 4-1 CAPTAIN READY: Improved Wright Leads Revamped 'M' Linksters I-M CHATTER . . . by Ed Smith 1 Phillies Crush Giants, 8-1; Tigers, Browns Rained Out WITH THREE-FOURTHS of the intramural sports program com- pleted both fraternity and residence hall teams are preparing for the stretch drive. Four spring sports, baseball, tennis, golf, and horseshoes, are just getting under way, while water polo and paddleball are almost fin- ished. In the fraternity division Sigma Phi Epsilon appears well on the way to winning its fifth straight intramural crown, while Gomberg is leading the residence hall division. At the moment the Sig Eps lead their closest rival Sigma Chi by a scant 15 points, but stand to increase their advantage with additional points in paddleball from which Sigma Chi has been eliminated. The Sig Eps also look with pleasure to the coming softball sea- son, since with the change in IM eligibility rules they will once again be able to use their star twirler Bob Schmidt. The year before last Schmidt led them to the diamond crown, but since he had entered law school he was unable to play last season. Record To Fall .0 WHICHEVER TEAM takes the crown, it will most likely have to break the all time intramural scoring of 1579 set by the Sig Eps back in 1949. Both groups are less than three hundred points short of that now. So far fifteen titles have been awarded in different sports, with all the laurels being split up among six different houses. The second place group, Sigma Chi, has taken the amazingly large number of seven firsts to the leaders two. Sigma Chi's titles came in football, relays, dual swimming, swimming, Basketball 'A' and 'B', and a tie for the outdoor track crown. The Sig Eps took Volleyball and bowling. Other title winners were Sigma Alpha Epsilon in wrestling and foul throwing, Kappa Sigma in cross country and outdoor track, Phi Delta Theta in indoor track, and Sigma Alpha Mu in handball. Gomberg Leads ...} GOMBERG HOUSE is practically out by itself in the residence hall division. Only Allen-Rumsey seems to have any chance at all ofj overtaking the South-quadders. Both Gomberg and Allen Rumsey have taken the most firsts in the dorms. They each have four crowns.' Gomberg has taken all the marbles in outdoor track, swim- ming, and 'A' and 'B' basketball, while the West-quadders have taken wrestling, table tennis, relays, and indoor track. An oddity appears in the residence hall division in the fact that Chicago house, which has won two titles, water polo and foul throw-, ing, has not garnered enough points to place in the top ten. Last year's winner Hayden house is far behind the leaders, in sixth place, and almost three hundred points down. The top ten in both divisions are:3 By The Associated Press NEW YORK - Gene Woodling walloped a pair of run-scoring doubles off Bobby Shantz yester- day to break up a sterling pitch- ing duel between New York's Allie Reynolds and Philadelphia's tiny southpaw, paving the way for a 4-1 Yankee triumph over the Ath- letics. Reynolds and Shantz dueled evenly until the seventh inning when the world champions broke through for two tallies to snap a 1-1 deadlock. The Yankees added an extra run off righthander Mar- ion Fricano in the eighth. Outhit seven to five by the Athletics, theeYankeescollected only four safeties off Shantz. However, they made them all count whereas the A's wasted all but two of their safeties. Two of the Yankees' runs were un- earned, and some wretched fielding by first baseman Eddie Robinson and leftfielder Gus Zernial accounted for a third New York tally. Reynolds was far from sharp as he walked six batters. But he proved tough in the clutch, strand- ing 11 Philadelphia base runners. He fanned five and yielded only one extra base hit, a fifth inning double by Allie Clark, that chased in the only Philadelphia run. PHILLIES 8, GIANTS 1 PHILADELPHIA - Curt Sim- mons pitched a five hitter and joined in a 14-hit assault on four New York Giants' pitchers with a pair of singles and a double to lead the Philadelphia Phillies to an 8-1 victory at Connie Mack Stadium yesterday. Simmons walked three and struck out five with the only run scored against him Bobby Thom- son's second home run in two days. Del Ennis hammered his first hom- er of the season with a man on base in the first inning which was enough to hang the defeat on Al Corwin, first New York hurler. Frank Hiller, Montia Kennedy and Dave Koslo followed Corwin to the mound and each gave up at least one run. * * * DODGERS 4, PIRATES 2 BROOKLYN-A two-run single by Shortstop PeeWee Reese kept the Brooklyn Dodgers right where they finished last season . . . on top, His eighth-inning hit gave the Bums a 4-2 victory over Pitts- burgh and spoiled the major league "homecoming" of the Pi- ALLIE RENOLDS . . . bests Shantz rates' Johnny Lindell. Lindell's two-run homer had kept him in a pitching deadlock with Russ Meyer until Reese broke up the ball game seen only by 3,169 Brooklyn cus- tomers. The Dodger win for Meyer was his first since he was traded to the Dodgers. He gave up 6 hits in the first four innings but al- lowed only two more in the re- maining five. TIGERS DETROIT - The Detroit Ti- gers' hard luck right-hander, Art Houtteman, will pitch the open- ing game at Briggs Stadium this afternoon against the Cleveland Indians. Manager Fred Hutchinson an- nounced his pitching choice in St. Louis where the Tigers dropped the season's opener to the St. Louis Browns 10-0 last night. The second game scheduled for yes- terday with the Brownies was called off because of the weather. Hal Newhouser originally had been slated to open the season here but he was one of the cas- ualties of last night's fiasco even though he didn't get into the game.He pulled a muscle on his right leg while running in the outfield before the game. Houtteman, who had an 8-20 last season, has been trying to work off a sore arm and hasn't done much pitching this spring. In his last appearance, against the Cincinnati Reds Sunday, he yield- ed 10 hits and eight runs in six innings. Mike Garcia 22-14 will be on the mound for the Indians. By HANLEY GURWIN "All we look forward to now is the conference meet at Madison." That's the way Hugh Wright, captain of this year's Michigan golf squad, summed up the opin- ions of his teammates after re- turning from an intensive week of practice in the south. * * * WRIGHT EXPLAINED that the conference meet is based on medal play and that from here on until the meet at the end of May, all the fellows will be out trying to shave those strokes from the score. The conference meet is all that really counts in Big Ten golf and if the Wolverines re- cause peat as champions, a prime cause will undoubtedly be Captain Waght, one of the two hold-overs from last year's squad. Wright, now in his third and last year on the Maize and Blue varsity, has played far better golf this year than he had at this stage of the game in his previous two seasons. His short game, which last year was not as good as it could have been, has come along nicely this spring. THE BATTLE CREEK, Michi- gan senior putted and chipped ex- tremely well while on the recent southern swing. With a new con- fidence in his short game combined with his flawless driving and per- fect form, Wright is bound to con- tinue to improve his now steady performances. Last summer "Hubba," as Wright is called by his team- mates, won his first tournament title after coming close on many occasions. He walked off with top honors in the Battle Creek Match Play Championship, and then came back with the run- ner-up slot in the medal play title. UNLIKE A LOT of golfers who began playing as soon as they- could hold a club, Wright didn't start to play golf until he was in the ninth grade. Like many of the present top-notch golfers, how- ever, Wright, too, started as a caddy, several years before he be- gan to play himself. When he reached Lakeview High School, Wright and several of his friends re-organized the varsity golf squad, which had not competed since Chick Har- bert, now an outstanding pro- fessional, had graduated sev- eral years before. Besides being a member of the Lakeview High team, which cap- tured the Twin Valley Conference Championship, the Battle Creek linkster won three city junior titles. NOW A graduating senior, the burly Wright, who was married last September to a hometown girl, has hopes of having his best season to date. While Wright was pondering over what he thought was his best stroke, Tad Stanford, his partner on the recent trip jok- ingly chimed in, "Five iron shots out of the crotches of trees." Five iron shots out of tree crotches may very well be one of his better shots, but it is still the combination of his long, straight, powerful drives along with deadly chip shots and putts that make Wright, as well as any golfer, a first-classaperformer.
