In a game marred by erratic fielding on the part of both teams, the Phi Delts defeated Sigma Al- pha Mu, 10-8. Pi Lamda Phi also remained on the victory trail by beating a spirited Delta Upsilon team, 10-6. MacFarland Wins Overcoming loud moral support by the Sammies, in addition to his own wildness, Bill MacFarland pitched his team to the victory, enabling them to enter the semi- finals. Phi Delta Theta scored a run in the top of the first inning to get off to an early lead. But the. Sanmies were not to be denied. They retaliated immediately in 4 their half of the inning by tally- ing three runs. Three walks and three wild pitches by MacFarland set up the scoring of these runs to cross the plate. Losing pitcher for the Sammies was Fred Gordon, who gave up only five hits. Errors accounted for many of. the Phi Delt runs. Rally Fails The Sammies staged a futile rally in their half of the-fifth, by scoring 5 runs, but these were two shy of tying the game. In the other first place play-off game, the Pi Lams defeated Delta Upsilon behind the pitching of Ed Lbin. Errors and wildness played an important part in this game also. Dave Cobb, pitchig for DU, had trouble finding the plate in the ""very first inning. His wildness per- mitted Pi Lamda Phi to score five runs. Pitcher Wild Despite erratic playing by the Pi Lams, they never lost their lead. Lubin also displayed some wild- ness, however, enabling DU to score three iuns in the bottom of the first inning. Stewart Evans hit the game's only home run, leading off for DU in the third inning. In the second place playoff action, Alpha Tau Omega defeat- Byrne Out.

Michigan has had four of its six Conference games rained out this year. "That's more games than we'vp had cancelled in years and years and years," said Coach Ray Fisher. According to Big Ten rules, these games cannot be re- scheduled. Rain Hurt Fisher feels that the Ohio State series, which was called off two weekends ago, may hurt his team's status a little. He thinks the Wol- verines had a good chance to sweep the double header. As for the two games with Wisconsin, cancelled last Saturday, he didn't know. "Of course, we won't know how badly any of those games hurt us until we see how the season comes out," said Fisher. "Maybe we were helped in not having to play." Fox To Pitch In the two games that did get played last week, Fisher found out at least one thing of importance. Outfielder Bruce Fox has all the stuff and should be able to pitch successfully in Big Ten competi- tion. The diminutive centerfielder took the mound against Notre Dame for five innings and again demonstrated excellent control. He allowed no runs and only three Need rv money? ,r-S Crowded? Sel your textbooks now hits before he left the game with a bad cold. Fox will be a welcome addition to Fisher's two other front line pitchers, Don Poloskey and Bill Thurston, and should give the Wolverine coach some more of the mound strength he has been seek- ing. Lefty Considered Another prospect which can still be considered is left hander Dean Finkbeiner. Finkbeiner was not able to throw during the winter because of a broken wrist, and is therefore not yet in top shape. "Finkbeiner has more speed than any of my other pitchers," said Fisher, "but he doesn't use it all because he is still unsure of him- self out on the mound. "I know the stuff is there be- cause down at Wake Forest he threw one by a batter so fast that the man just stood there. That's the only pitch like that I've seen from him, though," added the Wol- verine coach. Wildcats Weak As to the Northwestern win, Fisher seemed fairly satisfied, al- though he said that the Wildcats had a weak hitting club. "They had pretty fair pitching and were good in the field," he said, "but they just weren't hitters." Michigan is now 1-1 in the Con- ference, but has played from two to four games less than the other schools. This could help or hin- der them in the long run as Fish- er said, but in one sense it is a definite hinderance. The Wolverines have lost four games of experience which could have helped in the remaining con- tests. When there are so few games to play, as in the Big Ten, every one that can be played counts.
