Championship over Sig Chi I By HAL APPLEBAUM Tau Kappa Epsilon, aided by the four-hit pitching of Doug Lookens and three Sigma Chi errors, scored a 3-2 victory in the social frater- nity 'A' championship yesterday at Wines Field. A run scored by the TKE's on a disputed tag-up play in the sixth inning turned out to be the de- ciding run in the tightly-played contest. Bruce Clemenz started the TKE sixth with a safe bunt. Bruce Bow- ers attempting to move him along with another bunt, wa$ safe when Sigma Chi third baseman Roger Netzer threw wildly in an attempt to get him. The runners advanced to second and third on the over- throw. The next batter, Harry Wiles, popped up to John Wylie, and Clemenz tagged up and scored after the catch. A dispute involving most of the Sigma Chi players took place following the play, as they argued to no avail that the runner had failed to tag up. Sigma Chi scored first when pitcher Steve Steiler singled with one out in the last of the third. He took third on an error by Clemenz and scored when he slid under the TKE catcher's tag fol- lowing Bob McCollum's ground ball. TKE scored in the fifth on a safe bunt, an error and a sacrifice fly on which the runner appeared to be out at the plate, but Sigma Chi catcher Marv Nyren couldn't hang on to the ball. They scored again in the fifth on a walk to Ron Sandilands, a single by Bill Snick and Doug Looken's sacrifice fly. In the third place 'A' playoff game, Chi Psi easily downed Alpha Delta Phi, 11-6. By GARY GUSSIN Strong fielding and the one- hit pitching of Jim Williams com- bined to give Ann Arbor Double A's a 6-2 victory over Actuaries in the Independent third place softball playoffs at Ferry Field yesterday. Double A's committed two er- rors in the field but made up for them with double plays in the first, third and fourth innings to help Williams out of occasional jams due to wildness. Wood Singles Actuaries' only hit was a single by Ken Wood in the second inn- ing. A good throw by catcher Stan Larmee picked Wood off first base, however, to end the inning. Don Schutte pitched nearly as well for Actuaries, giving up just three hits and four runs in the four innings he worked. Shoddy fielding by Actuaries accounted for most of the Double- A runs. The A's scored two in the first on two walks and a couple of errors, and two more in the third, aided by four more miscues. Final Two Runs They added their final two runs on three hits in the fifth after Schutte had departed, to put the game on ice. Actuaries' runs came in the third inning on two walks and an error, but Williams recovered his control and shut them out the rest of the way. In third place Independent playoffs, Evans Scholars defeated Owenl Co-operative House, 8-5. OFF --Daily-Ian MacNiven "HE'S SAFE!"-In yesterday's I-M playoff action at Wine's Field, an unidentified runner proves that an orthodox slide isn't always the best way. He has just backed into third base ahead of the tag. TKE beat Sigma Chi, 3-2, for the Social Fraternity "A' champion- ship. PUBLISHERS' , PR CES hI i..

Yesterday , . . four years later . . . he stepped down from the position of Sports Editor, after establishing a long record as a "Mr. Inside" on Michigan athlet- ics. His brother Dave was writing sports and had encouraged him to join the staff ever since he en- tered school. Dave became Daily Managing Editor in 1955-56. No Stereotype Here When you first meet likeable, boyish-looking Jim Baad, you have a difficult time stereotyping him with other sports scribes: he is neat, doesn't wear f 1 a s h y clothes, never is seen with a cig- arette or hip flask, and rarely gets frustrated when the flow of copy slows down. He is 'not noisy or driving-and is careful about his value opinions of anyone. Instead he is "a sin- cere and mature gentleman," ac- cording to football coach Bennie Oosterbaan., Baad was more interested in getting on the "inside" of ath- letics-the aid program, recruit- ing, the place of athletics, and "what it all means." "I just wonder if all the squabble about how many touch- downs someone scores really mat- ters," he said, after totaling up everything he has learned about a t h 1 e t i c s. And philosophizing further, "I still think it's what an athlete gets out of school that counts." A lot of Baad's views have come from Oosterbaan, whom he was impressed with as a freshman and then respected all the more as he got to know the coach better. Basketball Favorite Sport Despite his admiration for the grid coach, he maintains that basketball is his favorite sport: "to play, cover, watch . . . and even care about." This preference goes back to his high school days at Dearborn, where he prides himself as being "the sixth man on a cage team which had Don Poloskey and Ken Tippery, a couple of ex-Michigan baseball stars." Baad-got his writing break dur- ing his sophomore year when he was assigned to cover gymnastics. Before the year was over, Coach Newt Loken cited him as "one of the best gymnastic writers I've seen here in my ten years." His ability to understand a sport is all part of the "fine ana- lytical mind" - another praise Qosterbaan has for. him. At base- ball games, for example; he pre- fers a seat behind home plate in- stead of the press box. But it was a basketball game that gave him his finest sport thrill as a Daily writer. That was Michigan's 81-72 upset over Mich- igan State at the close of the 1956-57 season. The senior pre-dental student operates an untiring schedule along with his Daily chores. Aid- ing other staffers, activities at Delta Upsilon and Michigamua, numerous bridge games, and weekend trips to Dearborn to see his wife Wanda and baby daugh- ter, all make a tight week. He still has produced well enough in the classroom to keep his Regents-Alumni scholarship over the years. As a way to close his career, "Mr. Inside" chose to devote his final sports column to his admir- ation of sports policies at Michi- gan. :{.'V.;S.S A «s :a e ..
