One pitch which Gil Hodges hit'
for a home run in the fifth inning
prevented Lew Burdette from
pitching a no-run, no-hit game as
the lanky righthander pitched the
Milwaukee Braves to a 5-1 victory
over Brooklyn to knock the Dodg-
ers out of first place.
Burdette was never in trouble
except for Hodges' potent blast.
The only other Dodgers to reach
first did so on passes, as the
Braves' ace retired 17 men on in-
field grounders in recording his
third win.

coming up with three singles.

Michigan's netters suffered their
second straight defeat yesterday,
losing by a 6-3 count to a Western
Michigan team that has won all
thirteen of its matches this year.
All but one of the matches were
tough struggles, but the Broncos
seemed to have it in the clutch as
they took four of the singles events
and two of the three doubles con-
tests.
BOB SASSONE and Bob Neder-
lander stood out for the Wolver-
ines in a losing cause. Sassone,
playing inthe number six singles
spot upended George Carpenter,

seemed to takb a lot out of Paley
and he fell behind, 5-1, in the
next set. He then ran off the fol-
lowing three games and came
within one point of tying the set
six times before Vredevelt clinched
it.

THE BOOMING serve and ex-
cellent drop shots of the Broncos'
Jim Farrell proved too much for
Al Mann in the number one setto.
Mann displayed some of his finest
tennis of the season, and after los-

AFTER TRAILING 6-2 in the
third inning, Theta Delta Chi put
on a fifth inning splurge to end
their game with Phi Kappa Tau
in a 7-7 tie in the IM fraternity
playoffs for third place.
The Phi Tau's surged into the
lead early in the second inning
as they scored three runs on
two singles, a double, a walk,
and an error. Theta Delta Chi
grabbed two runs in its half of
the third inning, but the Phi
Tau's put three more runs
across in their half of the inn-
ing to give them the 6-2 margin.
In another third place playoff,
Alpha Sigma Phi submerged Ac-
acia, 12-2. The Alpha Sig's were
aided by good pitching on the
part of Tom Biggs, who gave up
only four hits and three walks.
Kent Shoemaker led the Alpha
Sigs in hitting with a double and
a triple in four trips to the plate.
* * *
DELTA CHI easily downed Tri-
angle, 11-3, in a fourth place play-
off. The Delt Chi's scored seven
runs in the second inning after
Dave Thomas, pitching for Tri-
angle, gave up six walks and three
hits. Art Angood, hurler for the
Delta Chi's gave up only four hits
and four walks to the losers.
In another exciting third
place playoff, Tau Delta Phi
downed Theta Chi, 4-2. The Tau
Delt's were ahead, 2-0, going
into the fifth, but the Theta
Chi's tied it up with two runs
that inning. Herb Feinstein
smashed out a home run with
one aboard in the sixth to break
the tie, and give the Tan Delt's
the victory.

Probably not. As far as we know, there isn't such a term.
Even so, the terrain of a manufacturing plant may have
a vital effect on the design and location of its engineer-
ing equipment.
It certainly did in the case of our Belle, West Virginia,
plant, which is just across the road from ja flat-topped
hill, 750 feet high.

you've thought out your solution, you might like to
compare it with the one given below.
Du Pont engineers made use of the precipitous ter-
rain in this way: pressure on the water leaving the
scrubbers was sufficient to force it up to the top of the
hill for CO2 recovery. The returning water thereby pro-
vided a pressure of approximately 325 psi (750 feet of
head) at the base of the hill. This gift of pressure on the
