SPRING GI TROPHY AWARDED TO GEORGE RICH BY COACHING STAFF; The Press Box VARSITY GOLERS I E' nnr F 'rn nwoarnn 4 r 7 JalilemnAnd Heath Selected As Second Choice In Poll For Chicago Alumni Prize WINNER IS HALF BACK In a meeting held last night at the Union, George Rich, '29, of Lakewood, Ohio, was awarded the silver foot- ball, a trophy' donated by the Chicago Alumni association to be given each year to the candidate standing out most prominently in the spring grid- iron sessions. Five of the six foot- ball coaches cast their ballots for Rich. Alvin Dahlem, '29, of Jackson, and .William Heath, '26E, of Corning, New York, were tied for second in the coaches' poll. Marshall H. Boden, '29, of Detroit and Maxwell Wiard, '29E, of Ypsilanti, pressed the leaders closely for high honors, each receiving sever- al votes. Factors entering into the choice of the winner, and the percentages each carried are as follows: attendance, 25, improvement, 25, attitude, 10, and value as a future Varsity player, 40. I Backfield Men Show Well An interesting fact about the win- ners of the first three honors is that they all play in the backfield. Rich is a halfback, while Dahlem plays at the quarterback post. Heath is a fullback, but worked out at tackle this spring. Rich had a perfect attendance rec-I ord, being present at every practice. Heath also went through without an, absence as did Wiard. Bolden andj Dahlem had their records marred by one absence. Several other candidates were pres- ent at every session, and are as fol- lows: George Hammond, '28, of Lans- ing; Charles F. Leason, '29, of Mon- roe; George Lounsberry, '26, of Du- luth, Minn.; Herman Miethe, '29, of Escanaba; Louis C. Nanry, '28, Ann Arbor; and Henry Totzke, '27, of Ben- ton Harbor.sIn addition to Bolden and Dahlem, Austin M. Hughes, '29, of Gary, Indiana, had only one absence chalked up against him. Paul Cook, '27Ed, of Muskegon, Darold Greenwald, '29Ed, of Chicago, and Frank Harrigan, '27, of Grand Rapids had perfect attendance records until they were injured. Though the injuries were slight, the coaches ad- vised them to withdraw from practice for the time. _ i T t I By Wilton A.

The team will leave at 12:30 o'clock by bus and will returnt immediately after the game. The Wolverine won the first game with State 6 to 1, and if they continue in their present form should have little trouble in annexing the second victory of the season from this team. Coach Fisher has decided to let Ruetz pitch, and Davis catch, while Kuhn and Fremont will form the bat- tery for the opposition. Edgar, who injured his hand in the game with Iowa Monday will not make the trip to Lansing. The rest of the team seemed to be in good shape.{ Northwestern university athletic teams will get plenty of action this week, two baseball games, a track meet, tennis, and golf being on the schedule.! For the eighth time in a period of more than 25 years Michigan and Illinois will face each other on the track in a dual meet Saturday at Ferry field.

A period of -22 years elapsed before the next meet was held in 1920,1 and at this meet the Michigan team was outclassed, losing to the Illinois team 90 1-2 to 44 1-2. lllini Win Four in Row For the next four years Michigan suffered defeats at the hands of Gill coached teams, the worst one coming in 1924, when a powerful Illinois squad decisively beat the Maize and Blue men 106 to 29. That same year Illi- nois won both the indoor and outdoor Conference championships. Last year's meet at Urbana proved the turning point, for a well balanced Wolverine team that had won the Conference indoor meet traveled to Champaign and defeated the Illini 1 69 2-3 to 65 2-3. Indoor Meet Close The meet Saturday should prove' to be an even closer battle than last year. At the Conference indoor meet there was not two points separating the two teams, Michigan finishing second and Illinois fourth.
