Closed Saturdays OPEN DURING SPRING VACATION By The Associated Press Big Ten baseball teams wind up exhibition activities this week be- fore heading into the 1955 Confer- ence race and Wisconsin appears to have the best chance of de- throning Michigan State's cham- pions. The two teams clash Friday at East Lansing in a full Conference schedule. Other games pit Illi- nois against Minnesota, Ohio State at Indiana, Purdue at Iowa and Northwestern at Michigan. Wisconsin, finising one game behind the Spartans last year, will field a veteran lineup including three .300 hitters Lacked by a pair of fine right-handed pitchers. Centerfielder Ron L ocklin, Catcher Carl Wagner and Third Baseman Dick Hrlevich all batted over .300 last year, with Locklin and Wagner hitting at a .375 clip. Soccer Club, Indiana Tech Play 5-5 Tie The. Michigan soccer club's first game of the season, played yester- day afternoon at the soccer field against Indiana Tech, ended in a 5-5 tie. The first quarter gave Tech a 2-1 edge over Michigan, with Tony Wallwork kicking in the only Michigan goal and Butillos and Arauso racking up the enemy's tallies. The Wolverines tried hard to score again in the closing min- utes of the quarter, but the wind A. was against them. At half time, the Maize and Blue had climbed to the lead with two goals. The first Michigan counter was booted in by Wallwork, and the second by Chan Tha, who took a kick from Don Barclay and hit the ball between the posts with his forehead. In the third quarter, Tha made a beautiful kick that escaped the Tech goalie and glided in between the goal posts, giving Michigan a two-goal lead, but the visitors ral- lied with two markers by Preju- das and Teresca to tie it up. The final goal of the quarter was scored for the Wolverines by Wallwork. Action slowed down in the fourth stanza, and it looked as if it were Michigan's match, when Fabio Castro kicked in a Tech goal with one minute left to make it a 5-5 standstill. In addition, Coach Art Mans- field has pitchers Sheldon Rusch and Bill Robichaud back. The two won seven conference games last year without a loss. Losses Hurt State Michigan State will be without some of the sluggers who carried the club with a team average of .317 last season. Also missing is Pitcher Bud Erickson, who won five games against no losses. Spartan Coach John Kobs has had some pitching problems this spring which may remain a sore spot early in the campaign. Ohio State and Michigan may cause trouble to the leaders. They finished in a tie for third place last year but the Bucks looked ex- ceptionally good on their Southern tour. Bob Schnabel led Ohio State hitters with a .438 average and three others --- including football All - America Howard Cassady - clipped along over .300. Pitcher Hal Northrop is off to a blazing start with three straight victories. Michigan has been running into pitching difficulties except for Mary Wisniewski, who had a 3-2 record last year. The Detroit southpaw hurled 26 scoreless in- nings on the Wolverine swing through the South this spring. NU Banks on Hurlers Northwestern is banking on the strong pitching arms of Ziggie Niepokoj and Don Zitek to remain Cancelled The Michigan-Detroit base- ball game, scheduled for yes- terday afternoon in Detroit, was cancelled because of wet grounds. The Wolverines, next encounter will be Tuesday aft- ernoon, when they travel to Kalamazoo to meet Western Michigan College. in the first division. Another promising hurler is Dale Pienta, who tossed footballs for the Wild- cats last fall. Indiana is without batting champion Bob Robertson, but Coach Ernie Andres is banking heavily on a deep pitching staff. Hoosier hurlers gave up only 16 runs on a nine-game Southern trip in which Indiana won eight games. Illinois hopes to pull out of a last place 1954 tie with Purdue on the strength of veteran pitchers and a sophomore-studded lineup. HIT FOR CIRCUIT-Shortstop Harvey Kuenn (left) and Out- fielder Jim Delsing clouted homers for the Tigers yesterday as they trounced Kansas City, 8-3. FaeSlapping, Splunkings Bull-Running Call 'Athletes' By DAVE GREY The Russian sport of face-slap- ping has never quite been able to achieve national status. Nor has the average sportsman of the worldhbeenable to get par- ticularly enthusiastic over other unusual but legitimate sporting events such as bull-racing or spe- lunking. Slap for Over 30 Hours But such "sports" have existed and, in some extraordinary cases, still do exist today. Take, for ex- ample, the first official contest of face-slapping held at Kiev, Russia, in 1931. The object of the two- man game was to see who could slap and take being-slapped the longest. The original participants, Wasly Berbordny and Michalko Goniusx, swung palms at each other for over 30 hours. After tiring out three referees, the game was final- ly declared a draw. Bull-racing is another "athletic" performance with the spectator playing a large part. Its brief his- tory reached a peak just before World War I in the Netherlands and the East Indies. The object was to get the bulls into a highly pitched state of ex- citement. This was accomplished by placing a brilliantly dressed dancer at the finish line and hav- ing a band play spirited music during the running. Perhaps the most unusual of the non-competitive sports might be that of spelunking, semi-popu- lar in the 1930's in New England. According to Frank Menke in his "The New Encyclopedia of Sports," "The object of the spe- lunker is to find caves, and more and more caves, and to explore them to the utmost. The big thrill comes in discovering a new and bigger and more fantastic cave than associate members have found, and to discover, also, many underground forms of life or rel- ics, of former life."

Their hitting backed up right- hander Ned Garver, who had trou- ble in the first and last innings, but was strong enough in the mid- dle frames to get even for his opening day loss to Kansas City. WHITE SOX 9, INDIANS 4 Walt Dropo came through with a grand-slam homer that broke a fifth-inning stalemate and pow- ered the Chicago White Sox to a 9-4 triumph over the champion Cleveland Indians. The 425-foot smash into the up- per reaches of the left centerfield stands by the big first baseman, who was part of the Ferris Fain deal with Detroit last winter, plas- tered the Tribe with its first de- feat of the campaign after three straight victories. DODGERS 6, PIRATES 0 Russ Meyer pitched a two-hit ball game for the Brooklyn Dodg- ers Saturday, giving them a 6-0 victory over the Pittsburgh Pirates.

The loss -- Chicago's first this season-gave Brooklyn undisput- ed possession of first place in the National League. YANKEES 5, SENATORS 2 Effective relief pitching by Tom Morgan, who replaced a shaky Tommy Byrne in the seventh in- ning, helped the -New York Yan- kees defeat Washington, 5-2, last? night. Morgan retired the final eightl batters in order after supplanting Byrne when the Yankees were nursing a 3-2 lead. RED SOX 6, ORIOLES 5 Faye Throneberry, successor toI Ted Williams in left field for Bos- ton, drove in two runs and scored three as the Red Sox defeated the Baltimore Orioles 6-5.

Golf Score Intcacies Explained By JUDIE CANTOR With activity now in full swing on the Michigan golf links, the spectator might find it helpful to be informed of the conference scoring method, and how it works. Two Types of Scoring There are two types of scoring used in golf, match play and medal play, the latter being used for Big Ten competition. This means the total number of strokes is con- sidered in the scoring, rather than the total number of holes wvon. A player may contribute a maximum of six points to his team. The men who compete for each team are ranked in order from one through six. The number one man on a team competes against number one on the opposing team, number two against number two, and so on down the line. However, the first two duos combine to form a foursome and the remaining players follow suit. The person garnering the lowest total on the first nine holes earns one point for his team. In the case of a tie, each player receives one- half point. Best Score Earns Point The same procedure is used on the following nine holes. In other words, a player taking both rounds earns two points toward his team's final tally. Also, when the scores for all 18 holes are computed, the player holding the edge captures an extra point for his team. The maximum number of points a team can earn under this sys- tem is 18, if all of its players de- feat their opponents on every nine. 1However, in reading a cover story of a golf match, the score may read Michigan 23, Illinois 13. This is due to the fact that now in all Big Ten competition a total of 36 holes is played. JUST THE THING FOR SPRING!
