WAY BACK IN NOVEMBER, when Wolverine baseball coach Ray
Fisher began working with his pitchers and catchers for the
- coming Conference season, he knew he had a winner. There was even
talk of taking Michigan to the NCAA playoffs-but there was the
western Conference championship to take care of first.
The year before, with a green and undermanned club, Fisher
had put Michigan right on top of the Big Ten, ending in a percentage
deadlock with Illinois. The Wolverines got the NCAA bid on the
basis of the 20-7 beating they handed the Illini in the Big Ten opener
at Ann Arbor, but Fisher turned it down-not figuring his club ready.
So Illinois went into the District Four playoffs against West-
ern Michigan, Mid-American Conference champs and the Broncos
whipped the Western Conference entry-going on to place second
to Holy Cross in the Nationals. Strangely enough, Michigan found
itself in almost the identical position this season-the Wolverines
ending up with a 10 won, three lost record and Illinois having
an opportunity to tie for the top spot by winning a game played
yesterday with Iowa. But the powers that be at the NCAA regional
headquarters didn't even wait for the Illinois-Iowa game before
sending the District bid to Ann Arbor.
Again Michigan was rated tops for beating Illinois, this time
sweeping both ends of a doubleheader early in the season at Chan-
paign. And this time Fisher accepted the bid with open arms-the
team had proved its merit when it came back strong after an early
double defeat at the hands of the Iowa Hawkeyes and toward the
end of the campaign really shaped up as a first-class ball club.
Win One at a Time.. .
RIGHT NOW HOWEVER, the Wolverines had better concentrate on
winning one game at a time. This weekend, a powerful Ohio Uni-
versity diamond squad invades Ferry Field for a best two out of three
series-the winner to go to the championship playoff scheduled for
Omaha, Nebraska.
The Bobcats, who displaced Western Michigan as the top
club in the rugged Mid-American league, piled up a 19-2 record
for the season which makes the Athens, Ohio outfit a mighty
worthy -opponent. It will be worthwhile break from final exams
to take in the weekend series-a single game Friday and a twin-
bill on Saturday. You'll be missing a lot of fine baseball if you
don't see at least one of the games.
Fisher has been having a little trouble with his mound staff of
late, Marv Wisniewski's errant arm is still ailing-but the fine relief
job that southpaw Dick Yirkosky put in against Northwestern gave!
a pleasant lift. The Wolverines will have to have every strong arm on
tap against the potent Ohio club and Fisher figures to start righty
Jack Corbett and southpaws Jack Ritter and Yirkosky in the series.

The feature race of next Satur-

the first race of the day.
Starting off the big day will be
the mile run, featuring such out-
standing milers as Michigan's
John Ross. Michigan State's Jim,
Kepford, and Illinois' Walt Jews-

turned in the best time in confer-

try, when he ran the mile in
4:11.4 two weeks ago against Illi-

Soccer Squad
Gains 2-2 Tie
With B urwood
Scoring a goal with less than,
three minutes remaining in the
contest, the Wolverine Soccer
Club managed to gain a 2-2 tie
with the Burwood Soccer Club of
Detroit and thereby keep its
tournament hopes alive.
Two overtime periods failed to
produce a score in this match, the
semi-finals of the Free Press Cup
Tournament. The entire game will
be replayed next Sunday.
COACH Bert Katzenmeyer's
swingers have won eight matches
while losing only one in the 1953
Big Ten golf battle. Michigan has
beaten Purdue and Michigan State
twice, and Illinois, Iowa; North-
western, and Ohio State once.
The Buckeyes defeated the Maize
and Blue on their second meeting.
Last year's contingent racked
up six wins against a loss each
to Ohio and Purdue, both de-
feats in return matches after
Michigan had downed them
early in the season.
Like the, Wolverines, Ohio State
has been on the short end of the
score only once, having triumphed
on six other occasions. Led by
Ohio State Amateur Champion
J'rank Cardi's 72-hole total of
308, the Buckeyes grabbed fourth
place in the Big Ten a year ago.
THE WOLVERINES have four
golfers whose playing has earned
tue Spartans and Marquettes
Hilltoppers, and team captain,
Hugh Wright, whose 73 was the
best against Detroit in last Tues-
day's dual match.
Purdue's Bob Benning and Don
Albert are other title hopefuls,
Albert sporting an eighth place in
last year's extravaganza. Ohio
State offers Cardi, medalist in the
quadrangular meet among the
Buckeyers, Michigan, Purdue, and
Illinois, and Frank Guarasci. Wis-
consin's Koepke will be back aim-
