Charles Moore, Cornell, was the winner in 51.8 Place Second The Lion 880-relay team placed second 'bghind Duke in the first trial heat in 1:29.8. However, on the overall time basis for the two heats they were disqualified from the finals. Polito was injured slightly in this race when after completing a diving pass of the baton he fell and suffered brush burns. • In the 2-mile run, Jack St. Clair broke away to a good start and led the pack for three laps, but he then lost his stuff and faded back to 13th. He put on a last ditch sprint and managed to pull into 10th place, finishing in 9:51. Defending champion Dick Shea of Army broke the tape in 9:11.9 to set a new carnival record. Lose Heart-Breaker The Lions lost a hearbreaker in the distance medley race. Lead off man, John McCall, shot to the front quickly, and looked like a good bet to give the Lions a lead, but because of a mixup at the starting line the runners were called back. ' McCalls' second start was not nearly as good and he finished far back. Bob Freebairn and Bill Ashenfelter made a futile effort to make up the lost time and fin ished eighth. Favored George town was the winner in 10:12. McCall covered the half-mile in 21.8, Lockhart did the quarter mile in .51, Freebairn finished the three-quarter-mile in 3:14, and Bill Ash ran a 4:28 mile.

Special To Daily Collegian MulbryQuits As Baseball Sec.-Treas. CINCINNATI, April 27 (IP) Walter Mulbry jumped the gun on his own resignation as secretary treasurer of baseball today, walked out of his office and pur posely paved the way for a new deal in the management of the national pastime. The executive council of base ball was told that Commissioner A. B. Chandler would not resign —following failure of reelection— unless Mulbry, former friend, now bitter enemy, got out of the pie tUre. Mulbry did so loday. His formal resignation was presented to the executive council on March 12. The council asked him to stay on the job. Today, he said he had had enough of his $30,000 a year job. That followed word from New York yesterday that Chandler told the council he would quit a year ahead of the end of his seven year contract only after Mulbry left. His $65,000 a year tenure ends April 30, 1952. Baseball club owners offered to pay the con tract. Chandler, at his home in Ver sailles, Ky., told a reporter that he had appointed George Denman to Mulbry's job. Denman, a former private detective in Chicago has been with the commissioner's. of fice since it was established under the late Federal Judge K. M. Lan dis. AI close friend of Chandler said tonight he did not expect the commissioner to quit soon, despite the fact that club owners had of fered to pay him off in full. Soph Pitcher Ruled Ineligible Penn State's chances for East ern baseball supremacy received another ko 1 t yesterday when Coach Joe Bedenk learned that sophomore pitcher, To m Camp bell, will be ineligible for the re mainder of the season. Campbell was ruled ineligible because of an academic deficiency. His loss will weaken the Lion pitching corps since Bedenk was counting on th e right-handed hurler for intensive relief work. "He's got a terrific amount of stuff for three or four innings," Be denk said. The mittmen have had tough going all year. Before the season started Car men Troisi, hustling shortstop, wa s sidelined because of a grade deficiency. Then in the fir s t game of the season Chris Tonery, hard hitting third base man, broke his ,ankle and will be lost for the remainder of the year.

Michigan Slaters Set Relay Mark A quartet of surprising milers from Michigan State College to day blazed to a new four mile relay record in the opening of the 42nd annual Drake Relay carni val.

By WHITNEY MARTIN NEW YORK, April 27—(LP)—Hey, why doift they lay off the kid? A flop after eight or nine games, in which he hit .232. Joe Di- Maggio was hitting ~229, and Johnny Mize .167, but the flop is Mickey Mantle: With DiMag and Mize it's just a slump. Maybe a 19-year-old kid isn't entitled to slumps. It isn't as if Mantle was a fog horn-Voiced braggart who assail ed the ears of everyone within miles with stories of what he had done and promises of what he would do. W L Pet. 1 .857 6 1 .557 5 3 .625 6 4 .600 5 4 .556 2 4 .333 2 7 .222 Here's a nice, quiet kid who never said anything about his abilities. Any reputation he has was acquired through his feats, which were embellished until the fans expected him to hit more runs every weekday and twice on Sundays. It wasn't his fault he was rated the hottest rookies to come along since DiMaggio. He would just as soon have been rated just an other kid. Ignored, even. Thep the pressure would have been off. But he could hit the ball a country mile, and he could run like a scared antelope, and you just can't hide such attributes. Consequently his name practically was plastered on barns and tele phone poles to prepare the folks for his arrival. It's been a long, long time since a ball player re ceived such a buildup before he ever played a major league game. Looked Confident We saw him in his first couple of games, and were duly impres sed. We saw a well-set-up young fellow who stood up there at the plate with an outward show, of confidence, even if you knew moths were fluttering around. in his, stomach and the hands that gripped the bat were moist and clammy. Remember when you were 19 years old? Just - imagine yourself at that age playing for the first time in. Yankee Stadium, whose awesome magnitude gives more than one seasoned vetera 9 .100 Quiet Kid .J - 1 J. CEL.1.111..i.. boc Holds Foe Hitless For 6; Little Sets Pace Special to the Daily Collegian Coach Joe Bedenk's hopes for an NCAA post-season , playoff berth received a shot in the arm when his Nittany diamondmen. defeated Eastern contender Rut gers, 2-1, at New Brusnwick, yesterday. Southpaw Owen Dougherty pitched near perfect ball to re cord his second victory of the season.' "Doc" had a no hitter until the last of the seventh when Rutgers collected both of their hits to score the first run of the game and break a shut out battle. Little Stars Harry Little was the offensive star for the Lions in their tri umph over. George Case's 1950 NCAA District II ' champions. Little collected a• single and a double, half of the Nittanies total output in the well-pitched game, and stole home with the winning run. Paul Lowry and, Bill halich garnered the other safeties off Al Willenbrock who suffered his first loss of the year after three straight wins. Trailing 1-0, the Lions came tack in the to.P . of the eight to bunch an error, a double, an in tentional pass, and a stolen base to score both their runs and the ball game. Dougherty started off by reaching first on an error. Hen Albright sacrificed him to second, and Harry Little drove a double down the left field line to score Dougherty and tie the score. Bob Schoellkopf batted for Sil Cerchie and grounded to third and Little advanced on the put out. Bill Hopper was given his second intentional pass of the game, and with Stan Laganosky at bat, Hopper and Little worked the double steal, with the dimu nitive third baseman stealing home with the winning run on a close play. Rutgers Scores •• Rutgers lone tally came in the last of the seventh. After center fielder Jim Monaghan bounced out to second, third sacker Rudy Scanvel ruined Dougherty's bid for a no-hitter as he lined a double to left. Bob Koperwhats, bespectacled shortstop, lined a single to center with Scanvel scoring the only Rutgers run. . State will carry a 3-1 record into today's game with Lafayette. Until yesterday's game, Rutgers was tied with Princeton for the section II lead with an 8-2 rec ord. The Scarlet's ace mounds man, Al Stull was unable to hurl yesterday because of a bad back. Because of their fine showing yesterday, the Lions will prob ably face Lafayette's heralded Fred Kroog, who recently hurled a two-hitter and a no-hitter. Be denk will counter with either Bill Bair or Bill Everson, both right handers.

The play was closer than bread and butter. Dropo just did make it. • 28 1 2
