YOST GRID PUPIL Golf ;Tourney Draws I 300To Los Angeles (By Associated Press) Los Angeles, Jan. 5.-Six Los An- Sgobes golf courses teemedl with activi- ty today as the hour approached for the preliminaries to the $10,000 open tournament. Nearly 300 players, both amateur and professional, represent- ing the best from 26 states, England and Canada were entered. Thirty-six holes of qualifying play on the courses of the Los Angeles,; Brentwood, California, Wiltshire, Mid- wick and Hillcrest Country clubs will determine before night the 128 players to qualify for the start in the 72 holes of play at El Caballero Country club Friday. About forty of the 128 al- ready are chosen, these being the for- eign players and leaders in the na- tional open and local champion tour- naments of the past year who are ex- empt from qualifying play by virtue of their past performances. These top-notchers are practicing] on other courses. Out of the 128 players who qualify for the entry list,1 only 64 will get into the final 36 hole championship fight Sunday. That fieldI will comprise the 64 low scores and ties at the end of the first 36 holes at Cabellero, 18 of which will be played Friday and 18 Saturday.j The one day interval in the play,{ Thursday, will be devoted to practice on the various courses. The El Cabalerro Country club of- fers a real championship par 72 course, 36 out and 36 in. Its record was set last November 19 by Jack Tarrant, who then went over it in 66. Greens are in excellent shape, a bit fast now after the cold weather, but with rising temperature prevail- ing it promises to offer its best chal- lenge to the entrants. TO DEFEND TITLE! AGAINST APPEYAIN THRE DAYMATCH Poisoning Robs KeenI t;Of Star 125 PounderI Wrestling prospects have been con- siderably dimmed by the loss of Sol- omon, star 125 pounder of last year's team, who has been suffering from in- ternal blood poisoning caused by a bruised ankle which he sustained in practice. Although he has been re-. leased from the hospital, Solomon will be out of the lineup indefinitely. Coach Keen reports that 16 mem- hers of the Varsity squad reported for work a week before school reopened, giving them the advantoge of an extra I i , i ii i J 1 week of intensive training. Efforts will be made to reduce the number of candidates to the two hest' in each division before the end of this week. Every member of the Varsityl squad will be required to make his regular wrestling weight Monday, andi tryouts will be held the following day to determine the men who are to make the trip into Iowa the following1 week-end.1 Baker, Michigan's stellar 115 pounder for the past two years, and Kailes, all-campus champion, stand, out as the pick of the 115 pound class, although the \latter may wrestle at 125 pounds until Solomon recovers. Naglekirk, Solomon's understudy last! year, Hardin, and Ulasick are thet other possibilities in the 125 pound' division. The fight for honors in the next two' divisions is unusually keen. Watson, of last year's Varsity team, and Wolfe appear to be about equal in the 135 pound class, while Galsterer, 145! pounder of last year's team, Sauer, all-campus champion, and Warren,. star freshman of last year, are the; best in the 145 pound division. Al- though handicapped by an injured' shoulder, Warren has reported fog work and is expected to make a strong bid when he gets into condi- tion. Catain Donohoe will represent Mich- igan in the 158 pound class. The 175 pounder and the heavyweight will Ike selected from the following group: Hager, Greiling, and Prescott. Hager and Prescott are the all-campus champions in the 175 and the heavy- weight divisions, while Greiling, an AMA man last year, may be used in either division. Patronize Daily Advertisers.

With the official an- nouncement that Glenn Thistlethwaite, has been selected as head coach at Wisconsin to take George Little's place, a paralled announcement is ex- pected from the Evanston authorities of Herbert Steger's appointment as head mentor for the Wildcats. Steger was one of the best of Mich- igan's long line of great halfbacks. His heroic work in the Illinois game of 1924 when his team met defeat is one that Illini fans will never forget. Since his graduation from Michigan he has been in charge of the Purple backfield men. BOSTON.-Nils Ramm of the boxing Vikings was defeated here by Ernie Shaafe of the U. S, S. Florida.
