TUESDAY, MAY 2k,1953 THE MICHIGAN DAILY PAGE THREE PAGE THREE ) Iinsdale Wilts~~r Softball Gown; by Paul Greenberg 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. Scores Five In Late Bid Schleh's Hurlin g Halts Gomberg By PHIL DOUGLIS Hinsdale House poured across five runs in the last inning yester- day, whipping Gomberg, 6-5. to take the Residence Hall Softball title. Trailing, 5-1, as it came up for the last time, Hinsdale put to- gether five hits, a stolen base, a hit batsman, and two Gomberg errors. for five tallies and the' title. Larry Schleh went the route for Hinsdale, giving up four hits. THE BIG Hinsdale inning be- gan as Chuck Heck hit a single, and went to second on Gomberg hurler Jack LaBreck's error.

By HANLEY GURWIN The feature race of next Satur- day's Big Ten Outdoor Track Championships may very well be 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- bury. Ross, the indoor mile champ, turned in the best time in confer- ence to date this year, as well as one of the best times in the coun- try, when he ran the mile in 4:11.4 two weeks ago against Illi- nois. IKEPFORD, Spartan star, has gone the distance in 4:12, just a shade slower than Ross' brilliant effort.

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- ing for his second in a'row.
