was touched up for as many bingles.
In the second he set down the en-

three walks he granted are eloquent
testimony to his control.
Oversight Kills Homer.
But included In Michigan's eight

noted by an alert Hoya infielder
who called for the ball and stepped

George dropped the ball and the

It was Georgetown's second victory
IN three starts.
