By DEAN DELAP
Six more victory minded softball nines rang the bell of triumph
yesterday afternoon on the intramural diamonds, as play con
tinued under ideal weather conditions. One of the biggest up
sets of the current season occured when once-beaten Merrick
hall defeated the previously undefeated Chi Psi squad 7-3
The Hallmen tallied five runs in the opening stanza on two
hits, three walks and two costly Chi Psi bouts. After the initial
tally, two successive hits and a
walk loaded the bases Pitcher
Bob Maxwell, of the losing team,
then passed two opponents, forc
. ing across an additional duo of
counters. An infield safety plus
another error accounted for the
final two runs of the inning. Chi
Psi’s Chuck Strader uncorked a
long tripple in the third canto
driving across two runs, and later
scored when winning pitcher War
ren Ward gave up three walks in
a row Third baseman Bob Gibson
cut the rally short as he nabbed
John Kroder’s screaming line drive
to end the inning.
Sammies 5, Yeomen 4
Sigma Alpha Mu edged a de
termined Yeomen outfit 5-4, by
denting the plate four times in
the second inning Three hits plus
two errors and a walk accounted
for the scoring splurge. The Yeo
men club tallied twice in the sec
ond, and two more times in the
fourth canto for their combined
total Losing pitcher Bill Gard
• ner gave up five hits, while oppo
sition pitcher Jerry Barde allow
ed only three safeties in chalking
up the win. Barde also recorded
seven strikeouts in his afternoon’s
work.
Fhi Psi 6, Minturn 3
Shortstop Jim Bocchi collected
' two doubles and a triple in lead
ing his Phi Kappa Psi mates to a
6-3 victory over Minturn hall. The
Phi Psi bats connected for ten hits
in the short tilt, while pitcher Rich
• Ward limited the hallmen to five
bingles. Two walks plus a single in
the first inning, gave the losers an
early two run lead, which Phi Psi
overcame in the second canto
with a four-run scoring spree. Boc
chi climaxed the rally with one of
his two doubles.
Fijis 7, Westminster 2
Frank Cothrell limited the Phi
Gamma Delta nine to only two hits
but the Fiji boys took advantage
of eight Westminster errors to cop
a 7-2 win. Winning pitcher Floyd
Fredrickson also gave up two
bingles in recording his victory
The Fiji nine tallied three times in
the first canto on one hit and two
errors. Westminster tightened up
the contest, by tallying twice in
the third, but the winning nine
countered again in the fifth, and
three more times in the sixth.
DU 9, Lambda Chi 2
Delta Upsilon captured a 9-2
win over Lambda Chi Alpha in the
days final tilt. The Lambda Chi
nine could scrape only two hits
from the stingy DU chucker Paul
Huntxinger. Six walks combined
with seven hits figured in the nine
DU counters. They tallied twice in
the first, three times in the second
and four times in the fourth inn
ing for their total of nine.
Hallmen Forfeit

the undefeated column as they
gained a forfeit win over the com
bined Cherney-French squad. The
Hallmen failed to show at the
scheduled time.

Vic Raschi, Ex-Beaver;
Hurls Yanks to 3-0 Win
NE WYORK, May 15—(UP) —
Well, just as a lot of citizens had
supposed, those Philadelphia Ath
. letics turned out to mere mortals
after all.
Not supermen, but a pretty able
" and hustling bunch of ball players,
they went down to defeat after 10
' straight victories yesterday to
what appeared a little better bunch,
the New York Yankees, who beat
them 3-0 on Vic Raschi’s three-hit
hurling.
The Yankees cashed in for three
tallies on home runs by Johnny
Undell and Larry Berra. And they
supported Raschi nimbly afield. Joe
DiMaggio turned in a gem of a
catch in center, in which he took
“ the ball at his shoe tops, turned a
complete somesault and came up
_ holding the ball.
^ Raschi, a lad up from last year’s
Portland Beaver team, turned in
the greatest game of his career. He
struck out seven and walked only
three, winning his second game
against one defeat. It was New
York’s fifth straight victory and
its seventh in eight games.
The St. Louis Browns also got
superb pitching in a 3-0 triumph
over the Tigers at Detroit, Fred
Sanford holding the beltless Ben
gals to five singles as he won his
fourth game against two losses.
Hounding out an afternoon of
fine mound duels, strong-armed
Russ Meyer of the Cubs edged
young Kent Peterson of the Reds,
1-0 at Chicago, when Andy Pafko
! hit an eighth inning home run for
the only tally of the game.
A wise man makes more oppor
| tunities than he finds.

the number five spot. Sepctators
of the last week's practice ses

good chance of landing on the first
five by today.

Corgan, who has not yet recovered
from his injured abdominal muscle.

Vaulter Flies
To Relay Meet
George Rasmussen, ace Univer
sity of Oregon pole vaulter, left by
plane Friday for Fresno, where ho
will take part in the annual West
Coast relays today against the top
vaulters of the Pacific coast.
Accompanying Rasmussen was
Leo Harris, athletic director at the
University, who coached football at
Fresno in the 1930's.
Rasmussen was the Northern Di
vision champion last year in his
event, in his freshman year, and
tied for first in the national colle
giate championships. He broke two
records in dual meets during the
season, and turned in the best jump
of his college track career when ho
cleared 14 feet 2 inches against
Oregon State. He has not cleared
14 feet this season, however.
As a high school senior at Bend,
Rasmussen gained nation-wide ac
claim as the outstanding prep
vaulter in the country, turning in
better performances than most col
lege vaulters.
Approximately 12,000 tons of
steel are used annually for the
production of horseshoes in a
Joliet, 111., plant.
