Win I-M Softball Contests
-
By DICK CRAMER
Pitcher Harry Mighion won bis
own ball game yesterday afternoon
with a timely double in the final
inning to give his Psi Omega club
a 5-4 victory over Tau Epsilon Rho
in Intramural Professional Soft-
ball competition.
Mighion's double, which drove
in the winning run, broke up a 4-4
tie and gave Psi Omega its sec-
ond victory without a defeat this
season. Home runs by Dave Vin-
University Golf Course will.
be closed Saturday, May 8, un-
til 9 a.m. due to intercollegiate
matches.
Harry Kaseberg
cent of Tau Epsilon Rho and Don
Ambrose of Psi Omega had kept
the score close throughout the
game.
MILT LAUNDAU, Tau Epsilon
Rho's hurler, matched Mighion's
mound efforts until the final in-
nings, despite the fact that Migh-
t ion was very strong after the first
inning when he was nicked for
all but one of Tau Epsilon's runs.
Nu Sigma Nu joined Psi Ome-
ga in the two wins-no loss class
by outscoring Alpha Omega, 16-
10, in another important I-M en-
counter. Leading 16-4 going into
the top of the fourth inning,
pitcher John Pridmore of Nu
Sigma Nu lost some of his con-
trol and allowed Alpha Omega
to halve the scoring gap before
he was able to retire them. Three
home runs by Nu Sigma Nu and
one by Alpha Omega highlight-
ed the free-scoring contest.
An excellent pitchers' duel de-
veloped in the game between Del-
ta Sigma Delta and Phi Alpha
Kappa. Harvey Shields of Delta
Sigma Delta bested Wes Sikkema
of Phi Alpha Kappa, -2, as each
allowed only four hits over the six
inning route. Ed Sahacki provided
the margin for the winners with
triple in the third inning, which
drove in the second and third Del-
ta Sigma Delta runs.
* * *
IN ANOTHER close tilt, Phi
Delta Phi came from behind to
down the MBA Club, 4-3. Trail-
ing -2 going into the last half of
the final inning, Phi Delta Phi
pushed across the tying and win-
ning runs off MBA pitcher, Jack
LaBreck, before LaBreck could re-
tire a single man. Jack Born's
single scored Nate Parker with the
game-winning run.
Jack Ison's two doubles were
instrumental in giving Phi Rho
Sigma a 9-2 victory over Delta
Theta Phi. Ison drove in three
runs to give hurler Larry Man-
aussa all the support he needed.
In the only other Pro-Fraterni-
ty game, Phi Delta Epsilon trounc-
ed Delta Sigma Pi, 15-2, a bar-
rage of extra-base hits, including
Herb Rossin's home run, clinched
the game for Phi Delta Epsilon
in a six-run first inning uprising.
BOB DELUDE struck out seven
men to give Wenley House a 6-0
triumph over Taylor House in a
Residence Halls softball contest
rescheduled from an earlier date.
Delude was never in trouble as
Howard Davis starred at the plate
for Wenley with a two-run homer
in the first inning.

THE RUGGED Gophers of Dick
Siebert boast two wins over Illi-
nois, two triumphs over Iowa, and
one loss each to Purdue and Iowa.
In exhibition tilts, the Gophers
have picked up nine wins while
dropping five, making their over-
all mark an above average 13-7.
Last season, Michigan's NCAA
champs ripped the Gophers, 10-
6, on Ferry Field, though Minne-
sota outhit them, 6-5. This year
however, the Gophers are sea-
soned, and Fisher's nine will
have their work cut out for them.
Saturday, the Wolverines move
on to Iowa City, where the fifth
place Iowa Hawkeyes await them
for a doubleheader. Ace hurlers
Ron Schaefer and Merle Jensen
will face the Wolverines. Last sea-
son this same duo hooked up to
slap the Fishermen with a double
defeat on Ferry Field 4-2, and 5-3.
FISHER will send aces Mary
Wisniewski and Captain Jack Cor-
bett to the hill at Iowa, hoping
for a sweep of the series. Michi-
gan will be spearheaded at the
plate by third baseman Don Eaddy,
who is the Big Ten's top all-
around batter at the present time.
Though Eaddy's .500 confer-
ence average is second to Pur-
due's Joe Sexon's .533, the speedy
Wolverine is tied for the league
lead in the home run and double
departments with two, and he
leads the Big Ten in hits with
nine, in stolen bases with five,
and in runs bated in with eight.
Michigan pitchers are rightup
there in the league statistics also.
Both Jack Ritter and Jack Cor-
bett are tied with four others for
the games won lead with two vic-
tories apiece. Ritter has not al-
lowed an earned run and has
granted only six hits in 18 in-
nings.

THE WOLVERINES are second
in conference team batting with'
an overall .268 average, trailing
'Michigan State's lusty .315 over-
all. In six games, the Wolverines

IS MORE THAN JUST FORMAL CLOTHES
IT'S A Corrg6O WAY OF DRESSING
We have specialized in formal attire for men for over
three decades. We know the correct cut of the coat
.. . from the naturalness of the shoulder to the
straightness of the body. We know the right style
of shirt . R . the cut of the collar . . . the button0
placement. We know the correctness of formal ac-
cessories from shoe laces to collar buttons.
Because our knowledge on matters such as these is
illimitable we would be glad to advise and clothe
you for these formaloccasions.

PROF. PHIIL Diamond, Michi-
gan's track expert, agreed with
Canham that a 3:57 mile is now a
distinct possibility.
Bannister's performance was
all the more remarkable in view
of the fact that yesterday's out-
ing was his first race of the sea-
son. His record run was compos-
ed of quarter miles of .57.5,
:60.7, :62.3, and :58.9.
Santee, America's top miler, saidI
yesterday that he was "not ex-
ceptionally disappointed" to hear
of Bannister's feat.k
* *
LANDY, WHO is on a tour of
Scandinavia. said he was not sur-
prised to hear of the Britisher's
mile and picked Santee as the next
man to achieve the coveted time,
adding that "I am not in the shape
needed for such results."
Bannister's record will not be
official until it is approved by
the International Amateur Ath-
letic Federation, but no trouble
is expected in getting the mark
recognized.
tance of all the entrants from
each team will be added up to
constitute that squad's score.
That is to say, if Fritz Nilsson
and Roy Pella each register 50
foot heaves, Michigan's score
would be 100. The accent there-
fore will be on team depth rather
than the individual efforts of
front line stars.
THIS WILL encourage each
coach to enter more men and will
give a spark of encouragement to
each competitor. Otherwise the
meet will run according to usual
track procedure and will place on
display the finest relay teams in
the Big Ten Conference.
Illinois will be the favored out-
fit in the standard one mile relay
event and the Boilermakers of
Purdue will occupy the same sta-
tus in the 880 yard relay. Illini
quartettes rank tops also in the
sprint medley and the 440. Michi-
gan should provide the charges of
Coach Leo Johnson with their
most serious competition in the
latter event.
The Wolverines will enter out-
standing foursomes in the two mile
and distance medley relays. Mich-
igan State and Indiana should be
near the front in both of these
events respectively.

WHO HATED
T HE LOGIC MA JOR
ROLLS
Recently a young mid-westerner enrolled at a
university as a Logic major. His father had told him,
with some understatement, that he was illogical. He refused
to squire a pretty girl to a dance because her name was
June Betz and he was against gambling.
He wouldn't eat avocados becausekthey were also called
"alligator pears" and he didn't like alligators.
In addition, he was a slob.
Some of the men in his dorm tried to talk to him.
"Look at that shirt," they said. "The material's cheesy.
Why don't you hop down and get a Van Heusen
Oxfordian... it's soft, fine oxford cloth."
"I'm not attending Oxford. I'm attending Old Siwash,"
answered our boy.
"But, look, Buster. This oxford cloth is woven tighter
so it'll last longer. It's a smart investment.
And it only costs $4.50."

"So who needs it? I might get hit by a truck. Then what
good would it be?" quoth Buster.
"What about your collar? Flat as a pancake! Don't you
want a good-looking button-down with that famous
Van Heusen relaxed-roll?" one asked.
"I got nothing against pancakes. I hate rolls."
Note: Our man flunked Logic post haste, and was drafted.
The Army has him classified under "Secret Weapons."
