Movies of the spring game will be shown, and the procedure for next fall will be discussed. By FRED KATZ Pointing to Michigan's Big Ten record as conclusive, Ray Fisher said, "Any time we haven't made seven runs we haven't won. After hearing Fisher speak, a listener would never be able to guess that his team is leading the 4 league. Fortunately, the Wolverines managed to pound out the needed runs over the weekend. Even still, sixteen runs in two games was the bare minimum needed to subdue the conference invaders from Min- nesota and Iowa, 7-6 and 9-8, res- pectively. Pitchers Draw Praise Despite the sporadic hurling Fisher was rather generous in his praise of John Herrnstein, and of Glenn Girardin, the crafty south- paw who picked up both victories. "John pitched as well as he ever had for the first three innings against Iowa, but he "clunked" up in the fourth when he gave four singles and ,three walks," said Fisher. "If he had gotten out of that inning, I think he would have gone all the way." Girardin, whom the diamond mentor calls "a better finisher- upper than a starter" turned in two tremendous relief jobs, giving up only six hits and one run in the ten innings he worked. Top Conference Mark The star reliefer now sports the top record in the conference, a 4-0 mark. The extensive batting practice that Michigan underwent last week paid great dividends, espe- cially for Ken Tippery and Steve Boros, although the team as a whole was out-hit by Minnesota, 12-9, and by Iowa, 10-9. Tippery's big stick smashed out By BOB BOLTON You do your best and some- times it isn't good enough. This has been the fate of the Michigan track team for the last two weeks and it probably will be their fate this weekend in the Big Ten finals at Evanston Friday and Saturday. Two weeks ago Illinois snapped the Wolverines' dual-triangular meet win streak at 23. Friday aft- ernoon Ohio State made it two straight losses for the Blue by de- feating them, 74-58. JOHN HERRNSTEIN ... pitching praised SHOW IMPROVEMENT: Linksters Split Match, But Card Good Scores And Coach Don Canham just shakes his head and says: "they're running as well as they can ... the men just aren't there. A lot of the sophomores are still a year away." With these remarks Canham aptly sums up the- ever-declining fortunes of the Michigan cinder- men. If any "expert" had remarked last January that the Wolverines wouldn't do any better than fourth in the indoors and be lucky to finish in the top division of this week's coming outdoors he would have been probably laughed out of existence. Canham expects that his men will perform over their heads Fri- day and Saturday ... it seems like Canham's teams always perform at better than their peaks when the chips are down, but it also looks like better-than-their-best won't be good enough against the Illinois-Ohio State-Indiana pow- erhouses.-. At Columbus Friday there were some excellent Michigan perform- ances.

Tippery Big Difference When asked to compare this year's team to last season's aggre- gation, Fisher stated, "The big dif- ference has been Ken. Did you notice that all his hits were really tagged? He has been a grand hit- ter this year." The ever-steady Boros was the hero in Friday's win over the Go- phers, belting a 400-foot clout over the center field fence with a man on to provide the tying and win- ning runs in the 7-6 victory. 51'7" to take second, the best he has ever done. He will almost cer- tainly have to go over 52' to place in the Conference finals. Don Matheson ran a :49.3 quar- ter, his best this year. It is doubt- ful if anything over :48 will place at Evanston. Chuck Morton, the Wolverines' second best miler, edged teammate Helrnar Dollwet in that event for the first time with a 4:20.4 clock- ing. Iowa's Deacon Jones has run a 4:08 mile this spring. Sailors Win EntranceI To Nationals The Michigan Sailing Team qualified for the National Inter- collegiate Championship's at An- napolis, Md., June 17-21 by win- ning the Midwest title at Colum- bus, Ohio for the second consecu- tive year. Bruce Goldsmith scored 49 points for top honors in the "A" division, while Dexter Thede and Otto Scherer combined for 43 points to win the "B" division. This is the second straight year Michigan has qualified for the Na- tlo.als. Last year they finished third. No Midwestern team has ever won the Meet.

Today's Games Philadelphia at Milwaukee (N) New York at Chicago Brooklyn at Cincinnati (N) Pittsburgh at St. Louis (N) By RAY BERNREUTER "It was just a miserable day!" That is Michigan Coach Bert Katzenmeyer's comment on the Wolverines' triangular meet against Michigan State and De- troit last Saturday. The "M" squad beat Detroit by a 2812-7% margin. Detroit just isn't in the same class as either Michigan or Michigan State. The Wolverines lost to still sur- prising MSU 19%-16/2. Meet Ends Season The triangular meet marked the end of the dual meet season, with the Big Ten championships com- ing up next. The weekend total for the Mich- igan squad was 920. This repre- sents their best team total and is a good sign. Speaking of his team, Katzen- meyer said that he was definitely encouraged, but still disappointed. "The team has not yet reached its potential. It is capable of a better showing." Spartans Impressive Katzenmeyer was very im- pressed with the Spartan team. He added, "MSU can't be counted out of the Conference finals." Sophomore John Law of Michi- gan was medalist for the after- noon with a brilliant 145. Law has been off his game the last three weeks, and his outstanding rounds Saturday are a hopeful indication that he is coming out of his slump. However, Fred Micklow had a terrible 36 holes, finishing with a 163. In defense of Micklow it should be said that he was not feeling up to par. John Schubeck, Captain Steve Uzelac and Stan'Kwasiborski all shot respectable rounds, but none were outstanding. OoPS! SPOKANE, Wash, OP)-UCLA missed expulsion from the Pa- cific Coast Conference by a, single vote yesterday. Four institutions reported at the PCC's spring meeting that their athletic houses were in order. Washington, USC, and California reports were accepted unanimously, but UCLA's report was approved only by a 5-4 vote. BIG TEN MEET NEXT: This Week in Sports Friday, May 24 BASEBALL-Michigan State-Ferry Field, 3:30 p.m. Saturday, May 25 BASEBALL-Michigan State-East Lansing, 1:30 p.m. Conference Meets TENNIS-Evanston, Ill., May 23, 24, 25 TRACK-Evanston, Ill., May 24, 25 GOLF-Iowa City, Iowa, May 24, 25 I-M PLAYOFFS: Gomberg Wins in 'A' Softball By PAUL BORMAN Michigan's tennis team ended a highly successful dual-meet sea-; son last weekend by trouncing In- diana and Illinois. The two wins boosted the Wol- verines' string of consecutive vic- tories to 43, highest of any cur- rent college team in the nation. Coach Bill Murphy and his squad will conclude the Big Ten season this weekend when they put their Conference Title on the line at Evanston. Last Friday's meet with Indiana saw Michigan romp to an 8-1 win. Jensen Only Loser - Senior Dale Jensen at sixth singles absorbed the lone Wolver- ine loss, but Barry MacKay play- ing first singles came very close to losing. MacKay had to go three sets to beat Gerry Parchute, the Hoosiers' number one man. Parchute out- lasted MacKay in the first set, 11-9. Farther on in the contest, Par- chute had MacKay at match point, but the Wolverine net star fought back to win the match. MacKay Below Par Coach Murphy said: "MacKay's play in last weekend's meets was very bad and if he doesn't improve it would not be surprising if he gets beaten in this weekend's Con- ference meet." Saturday, in Champaign, the rain waited long enough for Mich- igan to win all six singles matches before it halted the meet. The fi- nal score was Michigan 6, Illinois 0. COLLEGIATE CUTS A Specialty I Net Squad Ends Perfect Season with 43rd Win As a whole, the Wolverine squad is well balanced. But it is not bal- anced in the right strata. With ev- eryone shooting around 77 or 78 the team will have trouble win- ning. -I 1 With the exception of MacKay, Coach Murphy said that he was satisfied with the team's play in last weekend's meets which were the toughest of the season for the Wolverines.

Spurring the Gomberg attack j was Dave Karr who piled a total of three hits in the onslaught. Don Treder was the winning pitcher. In another 'A' game Kelsey de- feated Willlams in an evenly matched contest which finally broke loose in the sixth inning. Williams had pulled even 5-5 going into the big inning, when Kelsey exploded for three big runs and won the game 8-5. The lone other 'A' game played saw Frank Alandt pitch Chicago to a close victory over Cooley, 4-3. Ed Becker led the Chicago attack I - with three hits and knocked in the winning run. The Huber-Strauss game was postponed because of wet grounds. Phi Sigma Delta ran roughshod over Chi Psi in a first places B' semifinal tilt to the tune of 12-4. The game was highlighted by two Phi Sig homers, the first coming off the bat of Stan Noskin in the initial inning and the other belted by Nat Friedman in the second. Tau Delta Phi won over Phi Kappa Tau on a, forfeit in a fourth place semifinal. How to roll a box car Southern style THE rings this railroader's holding are Timken* tapered roller bearings. Mounted, instead of ordi- nary friction bearings, on freight car axles, Timken bearings reduce friction so much you can actually roll the car by yourself. Reducing friction to a minimum enables Timken bearings to eliminate the hot box problem, No. 1 cause of freight train delay. They roll the load instead of slid- ing it. And that's why the Southern Railroad has started to go "Roller Freight", with 415 of its freight cars on Timken bearings. One of 58 railroads making the big to pioneer improvements like this with us, help find new places to reduce friction, speed up machines. Men who want to grow with the world's largest manufac- turer of tapered roller bearings. Men who will work hand-in-hand with the railroads, and with the people who make aircraft, automobiles, construction and farm machinery. We think you might find profitable reading in'our booklet, "Career Opportunities at the Timken Com- pany". Drop us a card at The Timken Roller Bearing Company, Canton 6, Ohio. , I I fail I
