Rain Slows IM Softball Playoffs
Sigma Nu, with some help from a thunder shower, defeated Delta Upsilon, the defending University champions. 9-6 in a semi-final softball game Monday. The game was called after 6 innings of play.
Sigma Nu did all of its scoring in 2 innings; they scored 5 runs in the second inning and 4 in the sixth. DU scored 1 in the first, 1 in the third, and 4 in the fourth.
Phi Gam and the Delts were tied, 7-7, in the eighth inning before the rain started. The game will probably be continued today if the intramural fields are dry enough.
Hernando's defeated the Chicken
Pickers 10-1 in the Independent playoffs. Hernando's scored 6 runs in the first inning 3 in the fifth, and 1 in the sixth. The lone score for the Chicken Pickers came when Jack Shelton homered in the fifth.
Oread walloped Battenfeld 12-1 in another Independent playoff game. Oread scored 7 runs in the third inning and 5 in the seventh. Battenfield scored its run in the sixth when Loren Lusk crossed the plate on a sacrifice fly by Ralph Ohlmeier.
If the fields are playable, the University champion could be decided by Wednesday. If the rain continues,
only the division champions can be decided.

'Nine Old Men' Still In Race
That's the Brooklyn Dodgers' message today to the experts who were beginning to view the 1957 race as primarily a two-team struggle between the Milwaukee Braves and Cincinnati Redlegs.
Tonight the Dodgers invade Cincinnati riding the crest of a fourgame winning streak.
The Dodgers walloped the Cardinals, 10-4. Monday night to sweep the two-game series they opened with Sunday's 10-3 rout.
A couple of old fashioned pitching duels marked the only two other games played in the majors Monday. The Washington Senators defeated the Detroit Tigers, 2-1, and the Baltimore Orioles scored a 2-0 victory over the Kansas City Athletics.
No hard and fast rules seem to govern marble shooting. Most American children seem to prefer ringer, involving a 10-foot-wide circle drawn on pavement or the ground. The person who shoots the most marbles out of the ring wins the game.
