Most of Michigan's offensive guns were silenced by OSU hurler Ron Nischwitz, who gave up only seven hits. Ernie Myers and Ralph Hutchings took over as team lead- ers for the day with five hits be- tween them. Twice Myers paced the Wol- verines' attack to within one run of the Buckeye lead. In the third Myers got the first of his three Statistics MICHIGAN AB R H RBI Myers, ss 4 0 3 1 Kucher, 2b 3 0 0 1 Herrnstein, p 3 0 0 0 a Struczewski 1 0 0 0 Jernigan, p 0 0 0 0 Roman, lb 3 2 1 0 Dickey, a 2 0 0 1 Brown, 3b 3 01 0 Hutchings, If 4 1 2 1 Mogk, rf 4 0 0 0 Sealby, cf 1 1 0 0 b Stabrylla 1 1 0 0 MacDonald 1 0 0 0 Finkbeiner, p 0 0 0 0 TOTALS 30 5 7 4 OHIO STATE AB R H RBI Holland, ss 4 1 2 1 Okulovich, 2b 3 0 1 0 Hampshire, rflit 5 2 2 1 Barkstall, cf 5 1 2 3 Edwards, c 4 0 1 0 Woehler, 3b 4 0 0 0 Youngpeter, If 1 1 0 0 Ramseyer, rf 0 1 0 0 Haverkamp, Ib 5 1 1 0 Nischwitz, p 3 1 2 1 TOTALS 34 8 11 6 a Grounded out for Jernigan in 8th. b Safe on error for Sealby in 7th.

And then in the seventh, with Hutchings and Sealby on base, via a double and a walk respec- tively, Myers singled cleanly into left field. Hutchings scored on the hit, but the leftfielder let the ball go past him letting in Sealby also. The score stood 5-4 and that was as close as Michigan could come. Average Dwindles Jim Dickey, the league's leading hitter before yesterday's game, saw his average go downhill. He went hitless in two official trips to the plate, although he did drive in a run with a sacrifice fly in the eighth. There was an unusual amount of extra-curricular action on the basepaths, involving both good and bad base-running. Hampshire stole second three times in a row, with Haverkamp also chalking up one. Dickey eventually unlimbered his throwing arm, pegging out two runners who had larceny in mind. Game Notes Still continuing to remain a puzzle is Herrnstein's hitting, or rather, the lack of it. He has yet to get his first Big Ten safety this season. The Chillicothe, Ohio jun- ior popped up three consecutive times to run his hitless string to twelve. The defeat left Michigan's over- all record at 12 wins and 5 de- feats. In today's game Al Koch and Nick Liakonis will be on the mound against the Hoosiers, with Bob Sealby backing them up. Golfers Meet Purdue, OSU At Lafayette Michigan's golf team hopes to avenge the miseries of last week- end when it meets Purdue and Ohio State in a three-way match today at Lafayette. Last Saturday the Wolverine linksmen, averaging 82. strokes per 18-hole round, were soundly beaten by Purdue, 29-13, and by OSU, 27-15, at Columbus. However, Michigan Coach Bert Katzenmeyer said at that time that the team "was not that bad," so the Wolverines should be ex- pected to display better golf today than last weekend. Since Purdue downed OSU in that same meet, the Boilermakers rate the team favorite on their own course today. Katzenmeyer, who delayed re- vealing his selections for today, was expected to go with the same lineup used last weekend. Big Ten Baseball Michigan Track Team Hosts Western, Marquette Today By DICK MINTZ Michigan hosts Marquette and Western Michigan this afternoon in the first and only triangular track meet at Ferry Field this season. Coach Don Canham was quick with a word of warning to his varsity performers, who will be out in full strength at the 1:30 p.m. run-off time: "The meet will be a tough one. We need every point we can get." Western Michigan and Mar- quette will be ably represented by some excellent individual per- formers in the ten-event program. Murchison Stars The chief attraction among the visitors is Western Michigan's Ira Murchison, co-holder of the world mark for the 100 meters at :10.1. The stubby 5'4" speedster has probably tied the world marks for dash events, particularly the 60- yd. dash, more than any other man living. He was also an Olympic gold medal winner with the American 400-meter Olympic team, which smashed all records. Ed Avery is another top sprint man for the Broncos, running on Murchison's heels in the 100, in :09.7, and shading Murchison in the 220.

The matches with Venezuela will be played at Caracas, May 16-18. citing contest in the two-mile run with Michigan's Geert Keilstrup, who placed second in last week's Penn Relays. Marquette's Mike Senglaub is another strong con- tender in this event. The pride of Marquette's team, Ed Hoyle, can climb 14'8" in the pole vault. Wolverine star Mamon Gibson tied for last week in the Relays with a 14'4" vault. Western's best, Jerry Bechener, shows a creditable 13'6" mark. Western also boasts a number of strong middle distance per- formers, along with Roger Shep- ler in the broad Jump, and Ed Henley in the high hurdles. Freshmen to Run Two special freshman events will also be run in today's meet in the 880 and 220-yd. runs. Fred Montour, who won the 880 in last week's Open Meet here, is the fea- tured freshman runner in this event. Tony Seth, another of the freshman standouts, is also en- tered in this longer run. Seth won the 600-yd. run at last week's Open Meet. Tom Robinson, only a yearling and already regarded as the best dash man in Wolverine history, will be in the 220 along with Dick Cephas. Robinson kicked his way to a :09.6 100 at the Ohio Relays two weeks ago and followed with a 10.0 last week though bucking a strong headwind. i i Major League Standings By HAL APPLEBAUM Despite a gloomy weather fore- cast, 100,000 racing enthusiasts are expected to turn out at the 84th running of racing's greatest spectacle, the Kentucky Derby, today at Louisville. Great interest has been gener- ated in this race, because of the fact that for the first time Calu- met Farm's favored Tim Tam and Mrs. Elizabeth Arden Graham's Jewel's Reward will meet the West Coast sensation and senti- mental favorite, Silky Sullivan. Starts Slow In the last two months Silky Sullivan has been the talk of the racing world. A strong bay colt, Silky Sullivan has the habit of starting extremely slow. In some races he has been as far back as 35 lengths after a half mile. However, he has made up for this with a blinding burst of speed in the stretch to win most of Cali- fornia's important three-year-old races. Silky Sullivan's chief drawback is that most of his races have been run against weaker opposi- tion than he will meet today. Tim Tam, on the other hand, has been the top three-year-old in the East. So far this year, he has won the Flamingo Stakes, Flori- da Derby, Everglades Stakes, and Derby Trial. Tim Tam usually has Bill Har- tack, the nation's leading rider, as his jockey, but Hartack suf- fered a broken leg last Saturday. His substitute, highly capable Ismael Valenzuela, will ride Tim Tam today, while Willie Shoe- maker will ride Silky Sullivan and Eddie Arcaro, winner of five Der- bies, will be up on Jewel's Reward. Jewel's Reward, who has been consistently behind Tim Tam, fin- ished in front of him in the Fla- mingo, only to be disqualified. Others in the field of 14 are Gone Fishin', Martins Rullah, Warren G., Lincoln Road, Red Hot Pistol, A Dragon Killer, Benedicto, Flamingo, Noureddin, and Chance It Tony. The race will be nationally tele- vised over CBS-TV at 4:15 p.m. AMERICAN LEAGUE W L Pct.

In preseason matches, the Wol- verines have maintained their un- beaten streak in dual competition and will be after consecutive win number 47 in a streak that ex- tends back to 1954. Coach Bill Murphy said, "Ohio State is not too strong this season and we should not have much trouble in defeating them. I will go along with the lineup that has been victorious this spring. en Big Ten Season at OSU Today n "For the singles matches, Jon Erickson will play the number one position, with Captain John Har- ris in the number two slot. The other singles openings will be filled by Bob Sassone, George Korol, Frank :Fulton, and Bill Vogt, in that order." Dropped from Doubles The doubles teams will be com- posed of Erickson and Harris, Fulton and Vogt, and Korol and John Wiley. "Sassone has been dropped from the doubles compe- tition because I feel that Wiley will perform better in that capa- city," Murphy said. When questioned about the rest of the Big Ten teams, Murphy re- replied, "Illinois is the strongest team in the conference bar none, and should win the title. Iowa will be its toughest opposition, and. Northwestern and our squad should fight for the third posi- tion." Michigan faces Illinois this Fri- day, so it will not be long before Murphy's predictions are tested. Irish Could Win The Wolverines also face the possibility of dropping a match before they face the Illini. On Monday the squad travels to South Bend to meet a tough Notre Dame team which is favored to whip the 'M' netters. Murphy Pessimistic Murphy stated rather pessimis- tically, "Notre Dame has a tope- flight squad, led by Maxwell Brown, 17th ranked player in the nation. Their whole team is back from last year, and they are un- defeated so far this year." The winner of this match will also be crowned champion of the Cherry Blossom Festival, which was held at Washington, D. C. during spring vacation. The, title was not decided because the match was rained out on the scheduled date. YESTERDAY'S RESULTS C~hicago 8, Milwaukee 7 Cincinnati 7, St. Louis 3 Pittsburgh at Los Angeles, inc.
