arx THE MICHIGAN DAILY SATTTRDAV_ MAY 9_ 1441' THE MICHIGAN DAILY ~ATTTRnA~T ~A'V ~ 18~1 .JA*S t,*S?,SSI*S tVSflA J, £091 cai.vts r . :.ir Y , iyai I In One Ear by Brian Macdlowry Michigan's Annual Blue-White Never Again Y VERY EXISTENCE almost came to a vicious end a week ago Friday night-along with about 200 other buffons. No, it wasn't during skit night in Hill Auditorium, although the show there couldn't have been more malignant than the one at Ann Arbor High School. It was billed in The Daily as mortal combat between Ricky "The Crusher", Cortez-Mexico's answer to the Swedish Angel, and Dick "Mr. Michigan" Garza-Michigan's answer to the fellow who keeps getting sand kicked in his face at the beach in Charles At- las ads. But to tell the truth I didn't see a mortal enter the ring all night. It's incidental that the two combatants puffed to a draw, for in professional wrestling it's not whether you win or lose that counts, but how you play the game. Friday night the game was according to Hoyle. Even the little girl sitting next to me seemed to fathom the plot, "Lookit how mean that man is," she exclaimed in disbelief, as The Crusher slammed an autograph book back into the face of a rather frightened little boy at ringside. And just because the kid for- got his pencil, too. Crusher meets aristocrat .. . MEAN WASN'T THE WORD. The Crusher looked tough enough to pin two lions at the same time without conceding any weight. Unfortunately there were no kings of beasts present so he had to be content with Garza, a rather suave looking aristocrat who entered the ring with his accustomed flourish. The little girl had only compassion for Mr. Michigan. "Momma, is that nice looking man going to fight that big fat one?" Mom ex- plained they weren't going to fight they were going to wrestle, a roomy distinction. A grudge match, a duel to the death-with a 20 minute time limit. Actually, it's difficult to understand why Garza showed at all. His strategy seemed to center around letting Cortez gouge him in the eyes, pulls his hair, uses his stomach for an altar, and beat a tatoo on his chin with a forearm. Not to mention the times Cortez used Garza's head as a pile driver to ward off the oncoming ring posts. MR. MICHIGAN seemed to take his punishment in better spirits than the crowd. In fact every housemother in the auditorium rose to her feet with that's-the-last-straw indignation when The Crusher began to massage Garza's eyesockets with contraband tape. Even the rest of us couldn't stomach his atrocity, and bellowed for justice from the referee. It was then that Cortez became insolent himself and hurled his challenge to the assembled throng. No one moved. No one breathed. No one accepted. The little girl had her hands over her eyes as though she was watching the climax to a Frankenstein movie. It's an errie feeling having your life in someone else's hands-espe- cially someone who knew not and never will. Garza delivered us from evil moments later, however, when he brought his exulting rival down to the mat with a volley of forearm smashes and a dropkick, the mechanics of which would make Michi- gan mat coach Cliff Keen turn over in his office. By this time the crowd was in an uproar. They wanted blood, but the Michigan kid must have forgotten his capsules. He played it straight. Could have been worse fN HIS ANXIETY GARZA overlooked two of his most potent weap- ons-two sticks or a match. Either one rubbed in the vicinity of Cortez' heavy bristled chest would have lit him up faster than Sequoia National Park during the dry season. It's not that I have an aversion to hair, it's just the first time I've contemplated a Fuller Brush man with a built in sample. Friday's card was the first wrestling extravaganza in Ann Arbor in who-cares-how-many-months. They came in all sizes. In addition to Rick and Dick, two of Bill Veeck's midgets were on hand. one of which, the Black Panther, amused himself by pinching the big boys in the rumpus anteriorus. One bout featured a Scottish Duke of some sort, and Cry Baby something-or-other, who wails unceasingly after each defeat. He had plenty to cry about Friday. The script called for two quick pins with the Scotsman preeminent, followed by a hasty 10:15 exit back to Detroit anonymity. THESE WRESTLING FANS are a strange breed. Even at $2.50 a head for ringside, no one seemed disturbed by the early getaway. I collared one, who said he was a University student, and asked him how he liked the matches. "Well, I was rootin for Cry Baby so I'm a little disappointed," he explained. "But I hope they have some more matches here soon. I hate driving all the way to Detroit." He was dis- appointed, however, that Dick the Bruised didn't wrestle. Walking toward the exit, another was lamenting the demise of Argentina Rocca, the man without a country originale. He seemed to feel that the barefooted one still had a few good drop-kicks left In him. So big time wrestling returned to Ann Arbor. Personally, I think Denny Fitzgerald and Jim Blaker could whup the whole lot of them- tag team or otherwise. Major League Big Ten Standings Standings W L Pct.

(Author of "I Was a Teen-age Dwarf," "The Many Loves of Dobie Gillis," etc.) I By CLIFF MARKS Much will be at stake for 93 Michigan football players today in the Annual Blue-White spring intrasquad game in the Stadium at 2:00 p.m. The public is invited to watch the spring practice wind-up, with the players battling hard to nail down team positions for the fall. Also at stake will be a steak dinner for the winning coaches in their personal duel, with the Blue tandem of Backfield Coach Hank Fonde and Line Coach Jack Fouts out to win their first game in three tries. The White trio of Defensive Coach Bob Hollway, End Coach Jack Nelson, and Freshman Coach Don Dufek will be trying to add another victory to their 22-21, and 7-0 triumphs. Elliott Interested Head Coach Bump Elliott will be more than an interested spectator as he will be closely scrutinizing the day's efforts, along with the opposing staffs. The Coaches attempted to di- vide the two teams evenly for the encounter, with both squads hav- ing a mixture of veterans and newcomers. , Both coaching staffs agreed that <'? the Blue team has a depth edge in the backfield with the Whites boasting a slight advantage in the line, based mainly on exper- ience. Blues Have Three Starters The Blue team also has three of the four starting backs as of the end of spring practice drills, while the Whites nabbed five of the linemen on the starting 11. Veteran quarterback Dave Glin- ka has Jack Strobel and Bill Tun- nicliff along with rookie Bruce McLenna in the Blue backfield with him, while speedster Dave Raimey is the lone regular amcng the.White backs. Raimey will team with sophomores-to-be Frosty Ev- ashevski at quarterback, Harvey Chapman or Ann Arbor's. Herb Williams at half, and Bill Dodd at full. The latter scored two touchdowns in the final Freshman game last fall. The White line has present reg- ulars Lee Hall and Joe O'Donnzel at guards, and John Houtman at tackle, with Captain-elect George Mans and Jeff Smith at ends. The other two spots will be filled by reserve center Frank Maloney snd newcomer tackle Jim Wiley. Todd Grant, Captain Jerry Smith's understudy last year, will center the Blue line, with tackle Jon Schopf the only other first stringer. However, the Blues will start just one rookie, at tackle. He will either be Phil Garrison or Tom Keating, with the condition of Garrison's injured ankle the main factor. Ends Bob Brown and Jim Koro- win, along with Frank Clappison and John Minko at guards will round out the almost completely veteran line. Brown has seemingly shaken off a knee injury suffered in last Saturday's scrimmage game. Though these names are fam':- iar to most football fans, the coaches are probably going to be even more concerned about the play of some of the lesser known players, especially the newcomers, who will have to provide needed depth in the fall. In addition to the 93 who will be suited up to- day, are 17 veterans who won't play for one reason or another. Spring Sports Men Six of them are out for spring sports, including baseball players Bill Freehan (end) and Ed Hood (halfback); tennis player Scott Maentz, another end; and track- men Bennie McRae and Bill Horn- 'M' Golfers A wait Meet A t Evanston By JIM BERGER Special To The Daily EVANSTON-The Michigan golf team arrived Thursday night and spent yesterday practicing on the tricky Wilmette Country Club course, where today they will play Northwestern and Illinois in a 36-hole triangular meet. Michigan Coach Bert Katzen- meyer calls Wilmette "a reason- ably demanding course of fair length. It's not real tight but there are several out-of-bounds. This course, more so than others, will give a certain advantage to the home team," he declared. Katzenmeyer admits he does not know much about either team, but the Wildcats loom as more of a threat than the Illini. "From what we saw in their meet between Wisconsin and Illi- nois, Northwestern looks like they have some real good boys," Kat- zenmeyer said, referring to Rick Gleascher, Jim Wagner, Jon Wind- ness, and Ed Menke. Illinois Coach Ralph Fletcher is pessimistic as far as his team's chances are concerned. He lost to Northwestern by a large 471 to 493 margin, and considering the Wolverines' victory over Ohio State, he believes Michigan to be a prime contender for the Big Ten title. Katzenmeyer will stick with the same six men that have played in every meet. He is still uncertain of the definite order, but it will either be Dick Youngberg or Capt. Joe Brisson asnumber-one man, followed by Bill Newcomb and beck (backs) and reserve- guara Wally Herrala. Most of the other 11 are out because of injuries, including quarterback Bob Chandler, half- back Jim Ward, and 1960 starting full back Ken Tureaud who have all been running this spring but will see no contact work until ftll. In the same boat are guards Lou Pavlov and Dick Syzmansk, while defensive backfield specialist Paul Reader and center John Wal- ker have beel i hurt in drills, long with 230 lb. tackle John Lehr and back John Kowalik. Quarterback John Stamos and tackle Guy Cur- tis Will return in the fall. Prominent Names Many other names will un- doubtedly become prominent as the day wanes, possibly the brother act of guards Ralph and Don Perriello, or the Schmidts, Doug and Paul (no relation) all on the White team. Other promising newcomers were discussed in this week's series on the ends, interior line, and the backfield.

OLD GRADS NEVER DIE In just a matter of weeks many of you will be graduating- especially seniors. You are of course eager to go out in the great world where opportunities are limitless and deans nonexistent. At the same time your hearts are heavy at the thought of losing touch with so many classmates you have come to know and love. It is my pleasant task today to assure you that graduation need not mean losing touch with classmates; all you have to do is join the Alumni Association and every year you will receive a bright, newsy, chatty bulletin, chock full of information about all your old buddies. ^ v , ,v ., .. V Oh, what a red-letter day it is at my house, the day the Alumni Bulletin arrives!1 I cancel all my engagements, take the phone off the hook, dismiss my chiropractor, put the ocelot outside, and settle down for an evening of pure pleasure with. the Bulletin and (need I add?) a good supply of Marlboro Cigarettes. Whenever I am having fun, a Marlboro makes the fun even more fun. That filter, that flavor, that pack or box never fails to heighten my pleasure whether I am watching the television or playing buck euchre or knitting an afghan or reading Mad or enjoying any other fun-filled pursuit you might name-ex- cept, of course, spearfishing. But then, how much spearfiahinig does one do in Clovis, New Mexico, where I live? But I digress. Let us return to my Alumni Bulletin and let me quote for you the interesting tidings about all my old friends and classmates: Well, fellow alums, it certainly has been a wing-dinger of a year for all us old grads! Remember Mildred Cheddar and Harry Camembert, those crazy kids who always held hands in Econ II? Well, they're married now and living in Clovis, New Mexico, where Harry rents spearfishing equipment and Mildred has just given birth to a lovely 28-pound daughter, her second in four months. Nice going, Mildred and Harry! IRginember Jethro Brie, the man we voted most likely to suc- ceed? Well, old Jethro is still gathering laurels! Last week he was voted "Motorman of the Year" by his fellow workers in the Duluth streetcar system. "I owe it all to my brakeman," said Jethro in a characteristically modest acceptance speech. Same old Jethro! Probably the most glamorous time of all us slums was had by Francis Macomber last year. He went on a big game hunting safari all the way to Africa! We received many interesting post cards from Francis until he was, alas, accidently shot and killed by his wife and white hunter. Tough luck, Francis! Wilma "Deadeye" Macomber, widow of the late beloved Francis Macomber, was married yesterday to Fred "Sureshot" Quimby, white hunter, in a simple double-ring ceremony in Nairobi. Good luck, Wilma and Fred! Well, slums, that just about wraps it up for this year, Keep 'em flying! 01901 smma * * * Old grads, new grads, undergrads, all agree: The best new nonfilter cigarette in many a long year is the king-size Philip Morris Commander. Welcome aboardt Send your "mother" . . best to . send FOOTBALL RETURNS-The gridiron sport comes back to Ann Arbor today in the form of the Annual Intrasquad game in the Stadium at 2:00 p.m., free to the public. A typical play today could be like the one above showing 1960 halfback Dennie Fitz- gerald plunging through the line. 'M'-OSU TILT CANCELLED: Netmen at Ohio Today; NLine Treks to Indiana Mother's day cards Chaetei' Two Locations: 1203 South University 312 South State , ;-- 1 By FRED STEINHARDT Special To The Daily COLUMBUS-Rain threatens to wash out today's scheduled tri- angular tennis match between Michigan, Ohio State, and Pur- due. Neither Ohio State nor Purdue' should pose a serious threat to Michigan. The Wolverines shut out the Buckeyes 9-0 last week- end at Bloomington. However, for Coach Bill Mur- phy, it would provide another op- portunity to see his players in competition. Murphy is attempt- ing to find the right combination for the conference championship meet two weeks from now at East Lansing. Right now, the sixth and final position looms as a toss up be- tweentween juniors Tom Beach and Scott Maentz, and Murphy would obviously like to see more of both before he makes his final decision. After this weekend, only two matches remain until the Cham- pionship Meet. Next week the squad travels to Minneapolis to take on Minnesota, Iowa, and In- diana in a quadrangular meet there, . and to East Lansing the day before the conference meet for a conference tilt against Wis- consin. The first five places seem to be set although there may be a little reshuffling before the Conference meet. Sophomore Ray Senkowski has a firm grip on the number- one slot, but has been ill, and his status is questionable. (Senkow- ski is still confined to Health Service with a case of bronchitis, and it is unknown whether or not the sophomore from Hamtramck will be able to compete in the Big Ten Meet. S* s Special To The Daily COLUMBUS-Michigan's base- ball team travels to Indiana to- day to face the red hot Hoosiers in a doubleheader after yester- day's contest here with Ohio State was rained out. Coach Don Lund had planned to use his big sophomore righthand- er Mike (The Bear) Joyce against the Buckeyes yesterday, and un- doubtedly will start his ace (6-0) in the first game today. Either Fritz Fisher or lefty Bob Marcer- eau will hurl the second con- test.
