Poloskey pitched the first three innings, giving up no hits, in Michigan's 9-0 win over Detroit yesterday. Lambda Chi Alpha, SAE Triumph in I-M Softball ning catch of the ball with his back to home plate, but had no chance for a play of Benedict. Poor Baserunning Michigan scored one in the sev- enth on singles by Thurston, Fox and Cline, and then in the eighth scored one more, unearned. Ken Tippery and Howie Tommelein reach third and second respective- ly when Ursine made two wild throws. Poor baserunnihg broke up a possible big rally, when Jim Vu- kovich hit a sharp grounder to- ward short. Tommelein was out, as he was caught off second base, and then when Tippery tried to score, he too was cut down. Gene Snider then walked, to bring up pitcher Fagge, whose single scored Vukovich from second. Michigan wound up its scoring in the ninth inning, on Fox's sin- gle, sandwiched between Bene- dict's and Eaddy's walks, and two wild pitches by Titan pitcher, Tom Hackstadt. An oddity occurred after the eighth, when the fans in the ball park, and the entire Detroit team, thinking the game over, left the field. A hurried call by the um- pires, brought the players back, and the game was concluded be- fore almost empty stands. There was one significant change in the Wolverine lineup for yesterday's game. Utility in- fielder Frank Ronan filled in for the weak hitting Vukovich at first base for the first seven innings.

For Michigan, it was the last non-conference tilt of the year. The Wolverines meet Indiana and Ohio State this weekend. By MARILYN HIGGINS He may be diminutive but any- one who has seen him run will agree that Ron Wallingford is a powerhouse. Michigan's top two miler, a jun- ior from Ottawa, Ontario, major- ing in zoology, has run in some grueling competition in the past but says that the competition the rest of this year and next year will be just as great if not greater. Jim Lambert, of Indiana, and Karl Jonsson, of Illinois, will be threats in the Big Ten Outdoor Conference meet. Wallingford hopes to continue his winning streak in the outdoes' title meet. He placed first in the E 0 2 4) 0 0 0 4 0 3 7 Sw t Big Ten Indoor Meet at East Lan- sing with the time of 9:26.4. He says that this is the biggest thrill he has had since entering Big Ten competition. In the Ohio Relays Wallingford; ran the one-and-a-half mile to! lose to Harry Kennedy, of Michi- gan State. Sixth was the best that he could do in the tough Drake Re- lays. In a triangular meet between Michigan, Navy, and Penn State, Wallingford palced first with Gar- rett, of Penn State, coming in sec- cond. At the Big Ten Relays he took second in the one-and-one- half mile run. England is the destination for Wallingofrd this summer as he hopes to prepare for the 1956 Olympics by competing with some of the best middle distance run- ners in the world. High School Star When asked how he became in- terested in track, Wallingford said that it started by accident. While in high school he had the choice of joining the football team or the track team. He chose the former. One day the track coach asked him if he would like to run two miles in a cross country meet. He accepted and without any practice won the event, much to his sur- prise. He says that his winning was due to his football conditioning. After that he decided that track would be his sport. RON WALLINGFORD ... indoor champ Ti tan Neters Challenge TT- - -Y , A " * 41 T By AL KONOP It took over t wo hours but Lambda Chi Alpha finally reached the finals in the IM first place playoffs, yesterday. Lambda Chi's 12-8 win from Delta Tau Delta gives them a berth in the finals against Sigma Alpha Epsilon, the other semi-final win- ner. At the outset it looked as ifI Lambda Chi was in for an easy day's work. Paced by the heavy stick work of Jim Pickard, Lamb- da Chi built up a five run lead in the first three innings. Delts Rally However, Delta Tau Delta's most fruitful inning was yet to come. In the bottom of the third, the Delts pushed across six runs to take the lead. Lambda Chi came right back in the next frame with two runs on Jim Dutcher's bases loaded single. Another Delt rally knotted the count in the bottom half of the, same inning. Don Maybee's booming bat final- ly settled things in the last inning as his two run homer sparked Lambda Chi's decisive four run uprising. Extra Innings Sigma Alpha Epsilon fought its I way to the first place finals with a close 12-10 decision over Phi Delta Theta. The Phi Delt's Bill MacFarland forced the game into extra innings with a run scoring single in the sixth frame. In the second extra inning Paul Brown gave Sigma Alpha Epsilon its win with-- a powerful clutch double that scored the winning run. It was nip and tuck all the way as Beta Theta edged Phi Sigma Grid Ducats Beginning June 1st, students may place orders for all home and away football tickets at the athletic ticket office.

Geiger lost both his sets in the same meet to Bob Moore, 7-5, 6-4. Coach Bill Murphy will be rest- ing up two of his starters in prep- aration for the Hoosier tilt. Mark Jaffe and Dick Potter will relin- quish their singles positions to Bob Nederlander in second slot and Bob Mitchell in third. Dick Cohen will take over Nederlander's vacant fourth position. Barry MacKay, winner of 10 consecutive matches since he started varsity competition at the beginning of the season, will start in his usual number one spot. In the other singles matches, Al Mann will start in fifth spot, and Pete Paulus will, see action in sixth place. Despite the switch in the singles lineup, Coach Murphy plans to start his regular doubles teams. MacKay and Potter will team-up in the number one match, with Mann and Nederlander following, in second, and Jaffe and Paley will combine in third slot. NINE DAYS LEFT: Golf Team i For Big Ten By JUDIE CANTORI The heat's on as the Big Ten golf teams prime for the annual Western Conference meet nine days hence. Although still crying over its past four defeats, the Maize and Blue links squad is practicing with vengeance. With only twelve days left, the team is hitting mighty hard to iron out all the kinks in its play.

Brooks Startle Baseball World with Fast Start By ED SALEM "Dem Bums" have the whole baseball world talking. Certainly no one could have pre- dicted that the Brooklyn Dodgers, a team with virtually the same starting lineup as last season, when they finished a poor second, would get off to such a fast start in the National League pennant race this year. Yet the prides of Brooklyn, in compiling winning streaks of first 10 and then 11 straight ball games, have broken many modern major league records for early season .rplay. Improved Pitching The greatest single factor which can account for the Dodgers 26-6 record thus far, is their revitalized pitching staff. The Dodger huilers, under the tutelage of pitching coach Joe Becker, have finally liv- ed up to the potential which Man- ager Walt Alston always predicted was there. Leading the mound corps once again is reliable Carl Erskine. Ers- kine, an 18 game winner last sea- son, has won five games for the Brooks without a loss, and cur- rently is leading the National Lea- gue with an earned run average of 1.33 per game. 1a~ Not far behind him are burly1 Don Newcombe, Billy Loes, and lefty-Johnny Podres. Newcombe has finally lived up to his pre-1 army form, with a record of 5-0. The unpredictable Loes seems to have "found himself" at last, and along with Podres, a curve ball artist who has fully recovered from his apendectomy operation of last year, gives the Dodgers four frontt line starters. Backing these men up, and thus giving the Dodgers some of the best pitching depth in the major leagues, are spot-pitcher Russ Meyer, and reliefers Jim Hughes, Ed Roebuck, Clem Labine, and Joe Black. Dodger Power The Dodger batting, always a source of terror for opposing pitch-j ers, has been better than ever thisE year. Catcher Roy Campanella, whose average hovered around the .200 mark last season, is leading the! team with .356. Duke Snider and SandyAmoros are also above the .300 mark. Furthermore, Snider is, leading the league in runs scored with 31, runs-batted-in with 34, and home runs with 11. Dodger power is evident in that Snider, Campanella, and Carl Fur- cause. Second to Schubeck is Co-Cap- tain Bob McMasters. While his av- erage has also been somewhere in the seventies he has fluctuated constantly, and is trying to steady his game before the big meet. Low Man I Hopes ride high on Henry Loeb, who showed a great deal of im- provement as the season pro- gressed. Loeb's only appearance on the fairways in the early weeks was during the southern jaunt. Then, in a match with MSC. he was the only man on either team; to break 80 on the first round, carding a 77. Skip MacMichael, Ken Meyers, and Fred Micklow, although shoot- ing fairly low, still left lots of room for improvement as the scores were posted of the team's most recent match, a triangular against Purdue and Ohio State. i W L Cleveland ..20 10 Chicago ....18 10 New York ..18 11 Detroit......16 15 Boston .....15 18 Kansas City 12 18 Washington .11 18 Baltimore ..10 20 AMERICAN LEAGUE Pet. .667 .643 .621 .516 .455 .400 .379 .333 GB 1 11,4 41/:, 61 8 8% 10 NATIONAL LEAGUE W L Pct.

Furillo, known more for his accurate arm than for hitting although he won the league batting title two years ago, has hit in 29 runs himself and slammed 10 homers. Although veterans Jackie Rob- inson and PeeWee Reese appear to have slowed down considerably this year, they have been ably re- placed in a number of games by Don Hoak and Don Zimmer. The Dodgers may not continue their hot pace, but after finishing in the first division every year since 1946, losing the pennant twice in playoff games, and once on the last day of the season, they are well aware that every game they win now means one less need- ed in September.
