"We beat ourselves, and by los-;
ing, will have to win the rest of,
our games to even have a chance
for the champilonship," sadly stat-
ed Wolverine baseball coach Ray
Fisher yesterday.
The downcast Fisher was refer-
ring to the two 5-4 losses suffered
by Michigan at the hands of Wis-
consin and Northwestern, respec-
tively, this weekend.
"Slopping fielding in key spots
has plagued us all year," added
Fisher. "Our pitching has been as
good as anyone's, and our hitting

EAST LANSING (/P) - Prof.
Harold B. Tukey will continue
as Michigan State University
faculty representative to the Big
Ten Conference, nothwithstanding
a desire to be relieved.
Dr. John A. Hannah, MSU presi-
dent, said Tukey made this clear
yesterday in a telephone conversa-
tion. Hannah had just returned
from a trip to Nigeria to find on
is desk a letter from Tukey 'in-
>icating his desire "to be relieved
from the responsibilities of faculty
representative."'
Hannah said he did not look
upon the letter as a resignation,
but rather as a statement of de-
sire by Tukey to be relieved of
time-taking chores outside his pri-
mary field of interest.

Meet Western Today
Today the Wolverines attempt
to get back on the winning track
when they meet Western Michigan
here at 3:30 p.m.
In Friday's game with Wiscon-
sin, two Wolverine errors allowed
the Badgers to tie the game and
take the lead in a previously close
ball game. Then, a ninth inning
rally by Michigan fell one run
short.
Crucial Fumble
Against Northwestern Saturday,
with the score tied at 4-4, catcher
Jim Dickey fumbled a bunt in a
key situation, allowing the winning
run to reach base. The Wildcats'
Mike Collopy then bunted perfect-
ly to squeeze across Northwestern's
fifth run.
"We knew the squeeze was on,
but we still couldn't prevent the
man from scoring," said Fisher.
He cited this as another ex-
ample of the many lapses that has
just about killed any hopes the
70-year-old coach had of winning
the Conference chaL 'ionship.
Batting Drouth Ends
Northwestern, sporting a paltry
.188 team batting average until
Saturday, smashed out 16 hits in
the doubleheader. Shortstop Al
Kennedy, previously 2-for-19 this
season, collected six of the Wild-
cat's hits, including two home
runs,in eight times at bat.
Wolverine pitcher Nick Liakonis
staggered to a 7-5 victory in the
first game as shortstop Ernie
Myers knocked in three runs, and
Bob Sealby blasted a 380-ft.
homer.
To Save Pitchers
In today's game with Western,
the Wolverines will face Dick Sos-
nowski, a pitcher whom they have
beaten only once.
Coach Fisher indicated that he
will use several pitchers in order
to save his best for the three
weekend Conference games.
On Friday the Wolverines meet
Purdue at Ferry Field, and on
Saturday they host Illinois in a
doubleheader that will close Michi-
gan's home schedule for the sea-
son.
I-M Golfers
Play Saturday
Golfers representing residence
hall, independent, and social and
professional fraternity teams will
compete in the 18-hole I-M golf
tournament, beginning at 7 a.m.
Saturday.
Students wishing to compete
individually should contact the
I-M office now. The 16 best golfers
Saturday will play a second 18-
hole round 'May 24 to determine
the All-Campus champion.

DETROIT (R)-The Detroit Ti-
gers Monday purchased George
Susce, a right-hand pitcher, from
the Boston Red Sox for an undis-
closed amount of cash.
The Tigers made room for Susce

The bus ride back to Ann Arbor
from Penn State was long and
weary for the defeated Michigan
traclk team.
Until the final event of the aft-
ernoon at University Park, Pa.,
the Wolverines managed to main-
tain a slim lead in a meet they
thought they had in the bag. But
in that last event the Wolverine
mile relay team was no match for
the quartet of Penn State speed-
sters.
S ailn Club
Wins Re atta
Michigan's Sailing Club added
another title to its growing list of
honors when it won the Detroit
Yacht Club Catboat Regatta last
week6nd.
The Wolverines finished with 96
points to 90 for Notre Dame, the
1957 winner. Michigan's sailors
thus became the first team, to win
two titles in the regatta's four-year
history.
The team, made up of four skip-
pers-Bruce Goldsmith, Ron Sis-
son, Otto Scherer and Dexter
'Thede-took first places in four
out of the ten races.
The club travels to Madison
Wis., this weekend to defend the
Midwest Sailing Title, which iti has
won for the past two years. Uni-
versity of Detroit, which finished
second to the Wolverine sailors
last weekend at Detroit, is expect-
ed to furnish the local skippers the
most competition.
TWO AMONG MANY-John Walker (left). and Harry Newman
are two of the many freshman football players who have dis-
tinguished themselves during this spring's drills. Walker is a
fullback who is especially impressive on offense, and Newman is
one of three candidates for the left halfback position behind Bob
Ptacek.
4.
The Nittany Lions easily won
the relay and with it the meet,
62 and 1/6 points to the Wolver-
ines' 58 and 5/6 points.
Just a month ago Michigan had
overwhelmed Penn State at Quan-
tico. The Wolverines had totaled
94x/2 points and more than doubled
the Nittany Lions' 42-point score.
Last Saturday, though, the
tables were quickly turned. The
Wolverines suddenly discovered
Penn State wasn't the same feeble
team they had competed, against
a month ago.
In the first event of the after-
noon, the mile run, the Nittany
Lions placed 1-2-3. Fred Kerr set
the pace with a blistering 4:14
with~ Michigan's Dick Schwartz
and Ernie Simms "lagging be-
hind" in 4:20. At Quantico
Schwartz had taken first with a
4:23.
Penn State followed with a like
victory in the 880. Ed Moran, who
had taken a third in the mile,
rocketed to the finish line in a
record-breaking 1:50.2. Michigan's
Earl Deardorff,, only a sophomore,
ran the third fastest half-mile
ever recorded in Michigan track
history in 1:51.6 but could do no
better than third.
With Penn State outdistancing
Michigan in the middle distance
runs, the Wolverines bolstered
, their point total by dominating
the field events.
But the mile relay decided the
meet and as assistant coach Elmer
I Swanson stated, "Penn State was
just too fast. They hadn't started
practicing outdoors when we met
them at Quantico."
Coach Don Canham thought
the Wolverines' versatile field star,
Don Deskins, would have provided
the winning point margin had he
competed.

Destined to play bridesmaids'
roles to already established Michi-
gan backs, the sophomores-to-be
ballcarriers are waging a fierce
battle for the supporting positions.
Looking behind the left-half slot
held by Bob Ptacek, Harry New-
man, Reid Bushong, and Hank
Stuart hold an edge in the drills
so far this spring. Assistant back-
field coach Don Dufek noted that
"Newman's balance makes him a
difficult man to knock off his
feet."
Bushong has been frequently in
the spring drills, operating from
the tailback position. Showing
possible passing ability, Bushong
tossed an 18-yd. aerial to John
Batsakes for a score in Saturday's
drill.
Diversifies Ability
Stuart's diversity may prove to
be his strong point, as he can
strike from the left half or full-
back slots. Dufek said, "He's play-
ed fullback before and was sharp
as a linebacker, so we decided to
use him in both places."
Fullbacks John Walker and Den-
nis Fitz'gerald appear to be the
standouts on the power end of
the backfield, with Walker going
well on offense and Fitzgerald
sparkling on defense.
With four lettermen back to de-
bate the starting assignment at
right half, three freshman candi-
dates - John Zanglin, Gary Mc-
Nitt, and Paul Raeder-are stag-
ing their own improvement con-
test. Zanglin, working the most
during the drills, is described by
Dufek as a "tough little guy who
handles himself well."
A coaches' find in spring prac-
tice, Zanglin set the stage for the
two reserve touchdowns in last
Saturday's scrimmage.
