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. ** * THE PHILADELPHIA Phillies moved into first place in the Na- tional League on the strength of Brooklyn's loss and their own 5-4 decision over the Chicago Cubs last night. Ted Gray, a losing pitcher for the last three years, protected. Detroit's League lead yesterday by winning his first game of the season, a 4-2 victory over the Washington Senators. Retaining their slim hold on first place, the Tigers rapped out 10 hits against three Washington pitchers, with rookie Al Kaline coming up with three singles. RIGHTHANDER Don Johnson's second two-hitter of the season bested a brilliant but erratic three- hit effort by rookie Tom Brewer to give the Chicago White Sox a 1-0 victory over the Boston Red! Sox. The 22-year-old Brewer walk- ed four of the first six White Soxers to face him to produce the run that handed him his second loss against no victories.

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.

LIBERTY -- Next to Michigan Theatre 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.

After 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 =.-UOF= m
