THURSDAY, MARCH 1, 1955 THE 'MICHIGAN DAILY PAGE TIMR' THURSDAY, MARCH 31, 1955 THE MICHIGAN DAILY PAGE T~1I~K a aauai aaaa uay as I.M SPT ,,11./ T .1r by alan eisenberg With the winter intramural sports schedule almost completed, it is again time to take a quick look at the standings of the various divisions. Gomberg looks like a cinch to again capture the Residence Hall title. The men from South Quad have already won five crowns and hold a share of another championship. The dorm leaders have taken outdoor track, 'A' and 'B' basketball, volleyball and the swim- ming meet. They had to share wrestling with Cooley. A two-way battle down to the wire looms between Sigma Alpha Mu and Phi Delta Theta for the Social Fraternity championship. The Sammies, a few points ahead at the moment, have taken three crowns: football, cross country, and handball. No exact point breakdown can be given for the many teams at this moment. Quite a few contests must still be played before an ac- curate appraisal of the standings can be made, Unusual Happenings .. . Throughout the long history of the intramural program at Michi- gan there have been many unusual happenings. Many have gone un- noticed but many have' been caught and recorded. A few choice tidbits will be ptesented as examples. On April 24, 1935 Delta Alpha Epsilon met Phi Gamma Delta in a softball game. The tilt went three extra innings before the Phi Gams went down to defeat, 28-27. Delta Alpha Epsilon went into the last half of the ninth inning behind and were still going strong after scor- ing 11 runs to win the contest. Maurice Taylor of Alpha Omega, last man to shoot in the fraterni- ty foul shooting contest of 1931, connected on rounds of 21 and 23. This enabled his team to win the championship by one point. Three years later, Sigma Alpha Epsilon won a basketball game by a little bit more than that one marker. SAE averaged three tallies a minute to win, 70-0. * * . * Another instance of complete dominance by one team was in 1945 when Phi Rho Sigma blasted Chi Phi, 111-22. Bob Reynolds scored 38 points to lead the onslaught. And then there was the Theta Chi water polo team which captured five successive titles in the years 1929 to 1933. The goalie, Keith Benett, did not give up a single goal during that period. And Then There Was.. . A dog belonging to one of the fraternities was laying on the ground, only a short distance back of home plate. When a player going after a short f.oul fly made a quick lunge for the ball, the dog, evidently startled, grabbed the player by the throat. The wound was treated at Health Service. Neither the dog nor the man showed ill effects. * * * * The height of futility was reached in a touch football game played between Alpha Tau Omega and Phi Gamma Delta on Tuesday, No- vember 6, 1951. A rare snow storm visited Ann Arbor and covered the field with six inches of snow. Both teams insisted that the game be played. The tilt, plus an overtime period resulted in a scoreless tie. The match was replayed at a later date. Here's something for Bill Stern. Irv Goldstein played four years, 1929-32, as goalie on Phi Beta Delta's water polo squad and could not swim. We're sorry, Bill, but that Greek house never did win a water polo trophy. The powerful 1951-52 Law Club touch football aggregation went nine straight games without having to punt. In the meantime, they scored 151 points while holding their opponents scoreless. The 1931 championship soccer team, called the Cosmopolitans, had 18 players, representing 10 different nations. * * * * Ever wonder about the plaques in the lobby of the Sports Building? They were obtained through the Ministry of Greece in 1929. They are replicas of objects excavated in 1924 on the estate of an Athenian nobleman. Kappa Sigma had one awfully bad day on the basketball floor. The cagers had to play two games in one day. The Kappa Sigs went down to defeat by the scores of 57-7 and 51-2. OPENER TOMORROW: Wolverine Nine Travels South Today ______________ ' By JACK HORWITZ With the weather holding the 1955 Michigan baseball squad prac- tices to virtually a standstill, the team will head south for its an- nual spring trip during the Spring Recess, in an attempt to acquire much needed experience. The team, under close scrutini- zation by Coach Ray Fisher, is as yet untried and untested on the baseball diamond. Theyhave been limited to indoor infield and bat- ting practice. This trip will give the coaching staff an opportunity to see what potential is available for the coming season. Open Against Delaware The Wolverines open their schedule tomorrow against the University of Delaware in the first encounter of the nine game tour.. On Saturday they will journey to Washington, D.C., for an after- noon game with Georgetown Uni- versity. In the 1954 jaunt through the South, the Wolverines started off with a defeat at the hands of Delaware, 1-0 but followed with 15-9 drubbing of Georgetown. This year, the Maize and Blue will be out to avenge the Delaware loss and add another victory over the men from the nation's capital. Georgetown should have one of its best squads in many years. All freshmen baseball candi- dates report to Yost Field House Monday, April 11, between 2 and 4 p.m. Bring your own gloves and spikes. -Matt Patanelli The baseball squad continues its1 daily schedule of games meeting the University of North Carolina,E at Chapel Hill, on Tuesday. The Tar Heels will field almost the same squad as last year as they have nine returning lettermen. The weakest spot on the Tar Heel squad will be pitching, with only reliefer Tom Maultsby returning. New Rivals The Wolverines will continue their trip through North Carolina meeting two new rivals, Duke and East Carolina Teachers College. The tour will wind up with a two game series against another group of Marines from Camp LeJeune. Fisher will take 18 men on the Southern tour in an attempt to arrive at a starting lineup for the first home encounter against Wayne University on April 12.

BALFOUR COMPANY 1321 SoUTH UNIVERSITY RAY FISHER ... the South beckons L !.- s Yanks Send 13lackwell To Athletics WEST PALM BEACH, Fla. (f')-- The Kansas City Athletics yester- day bought pitchers Ewell Black- well and Tommy Gorman and first baseman Dick Kryhoski fromn the New York Yankees in a straight cash deal. The purchase price was an- nounced as "in excess of $50,000." Blackwell, once one of the finest righthanded pitchers in the game while with Cincinnati, was on the Yankee voluntarily retired list last year, suffering from a sore arm. Gorman, Kryhoski Also Go Gorman appeared in 11 games with the Yanks last year after be- ing brought up from the then Kan- sas City Blues. His won-lost record was 3-2 and his earned run aver- age 3.88. He is a righthander. Kryhoski, a veteran lefthanded first baseman, served several years in the Yankee organization before he was traded to Detroit. He came back to the Yankees in a winter deal from the Baltimore Orioles. The cash deal came as a sur- prise, as owner Arnold Johnson and his aides were believed to be hatching a trade that would send Arnold Portocarrero, the A's righthanded pitcher, to the Yan- kees. Trade to Follow? Whether the cash deal was the forerunner to a trade was not im- mediately determined. Johnson, when he bought the Athletics franchise from the Macks of Philadelphia, said he had $1,- 000,000 to spend in improving the club. EXHIBITION BASEBALL Detroit 0, Boston 3 New York (A) 10,3Philadelphia 10 (game called on account of dark- ness after 12 innings) Washington 8, Cincinnati 5 Baltimore 3-0, Pittsburgh 1-2 Brooklyn 3, Milwaukee 2 New York (N) 12, Cleveland 3 r J i I They have six returning lettermen and a number of fine newcomers on hand. The tour continues with anoth- er of the annual spring rivals, the Marines at Quantico Training Base. The Wolverines triumphed twice last year, but the Leather- necks always field a strong team with many fine semi-pro and pro- fessional players. On Monday, the diamondmen move over to Char- lottesville for a game with the University of Virginia. 11-M Foul Shot Contest Ends The results of the foul shooting event, which drew more than 1,000 contestants, were released yester- day afternoon by Earl Riskey. Reeves captured the Residence Hall title with 222 fouls in 250 at- tempts. Sigma Chi emerged vic- torious in the fraternity division as it hit 213 free throws. Evans Scholars, with 184, won the inde- pendent title. Gomberg took second in the Residence division with 215, Lloyd nailed down the third slot with 199, Allen-Rumsey finished fourth withi 195, and Strauss copped the fifth slot making 194 free throws. In the fraternity competition, Sigma Al- pha Epsilon trailed the winners with 203. Sigma Alpha Mu with 201, Pi Lambda Phi with 201, and Chi Psi with 197, rounded out the first five.
