TH E MICHICAN DAILY WEDNESDAY, MARCU 20, 1929 HO USE IN INTRAMURAL BUILDING FENCERS STAGE COMEBACK AFTER BAD START IN CONFERENCE TILTS and two weeks of drill before meet- ing the Michigan State team at EsLansing. Spartans First Victims At Lansing the Wolves register-I ed their first victory of the sea- son by nosing out the Spartans in one of the closest matches of the year. After changing positions for the lead several times Michigan! gained a two point advantage and never were headed until the last1 1 event which gave them a 6 to 8 vic- tory. The next scalp tucked under the belt of the Maize and Blue team was that of the Ohio State fencers who came here for the defeat. Constant drilling under the care-I ful tutelage of Coach Johnstone# began to show results in this meet and the Wolverines won ten of the seventeen bouts. Wiggers Takes Epee Titpe Following this match three of' the Maize and Blue fencers enter- ed the Conference bouts to annex second honors for Michigan in the Big Ten and one individual Big Ten championship. Wiggers went through the entire field of the Con- ference epee artists to capture the championship in this event. The' points won in this event plus one more won by Gordon in the sabre bouts gave the Wolves second place in the meet. Gordon tied for third place with two others from Chicago and Ohiol State in the sabre events while Captain Lazar won fourth place in the foils which entitled him to no points because of ties in first, sec-I ond, and third places.I In the last match of the season against Wisconsin the Wolverine fencers chalked up a 6 to 8 victory with only ordinary trouble. The Badgers did not possess a well enough balanced squad to com- pensate for the team, as well as individual, strength of the Wolves.1 ~EAHERSTILLSTY FW A H , TY AVOR0AB0LETO ISHER, First Outdoor Drill May Be held For Baseball Squad Before Present Week Ends BATTERS ARE IMPROVING With the prospect of holding the first outdoor diamond practice of the season 'before the end of the week if weather conditions are favorable, the varsity baseball squad continued its daily routine batting practice sessions und-r the handicap of 'a deep gloom and low visibility conditions in the field house. The cloudy weather made the ball hard to locate against the dark background ~'of the stands, but most of the hitters continued to show steady improvement in find- ing Coach Blott's deliveries for, solid smacks. Although no new home run possibilities have devel- oped so far, Coach Fisher appears well satisfied with the showing ofI the new men in' the uncertain light of the field house. Veterans Can hit The backbone of this year's hit- ting strength will probably come from the veterans, according to Coach Fisher. Nebelung, Corriden, and Weintraub are all expected to show improvement at the bat in this year's campaign, and' will make bids for the cleanup posi- tions left vacant by the gradua- tion of Lange and Oosterbaan. As no infielding practice will be held indoors, the pitchers are re- ceiving most of the attention, while the fielders are confining their ac- tivities to batting practice and pepper games. Hurlers Show Promise Several new moundsmen have shown increased promise in the last few workouts. Montague, one of} the tallest men on the squad, Mar-I tin, and Holzman, three juniors, have been putting more stuff on the ball and are ranked as likely candidates for the reserve hurler posts. Compton and Kiegler, the two outstancigg pitchers of last year's freshman'"team, are also showing the ral t' of constant work. Compton appeared to be able to bother %the 4928 varsity as much (Continued On Page 7) Matmen Out For National Crown Wolverine Swimmers Will Defend Collegiate Title At Meet c In St. Louist Having annexed their third straight Conference championship, Coach Matt Mann's Varsity swim- mers are now busy getting in shapel for the national collegiate meet' scheduled for March 29 and 30 atl Washington university, St. Louis. The Wolverines will also be de- fending the title there that they won, last year at Philadelphia. In winning the Conference titlej Michigan demonstrated its usually good team balance by taking three first places, four seconds, four" thirds, and three fourths. North- western accumulated its 34 points chiefly through five first places that netted 28 points. The Wild-1 cats also gathered one second, one ,third, and one fourth.1 Ault Wins 440 Gar Ault continued the Michigan tradition of winning the 440 yardt free style by successfully defending the title which he annexed last year at Minneapolis. Buck Sam- son won the quarter mile in 1926 and 1927, so Ault has proved a! worthy successor to the former Wolverine star. Winning the 40 yard sprint was especially gratifying to Bob Walk-I er, who also won the event last I year but was disqualified for swim-I wing.out of his lane. George Hub--E bell joined Wallie Colbath among the dethroned champions. The fast pace set by Hinch and Marsh proved too much. for the WolverineI back stroke ace, who took third.E Heinie Groh, diminutive Illinois captain, made it two out of three against Colbath in the fancy div- ing. Groh won the title in 1927 but placed third behind Colbath last year. Free Style Relay Won Again Al Schwartz again captured the 220 yard championship and also Gaining five firsts and four sec- onds Phi Kappa Psi easily annexed the Inter-fraternity swimming championship last night at the In- tramural pool with a total of 47 points. Theta Chi was second with 24 points while Alpha Kappa Lambda was third with 13. Last year's championship also was won by Phi Kappa Psi.I Patton of Phi Kappa Psi took the hundred yard free style while his teammate, Kirn, took the fifty. Fossum of Theta Chi won the 2001 free style and Crego of Theta Chi was first in the fifty yard back- stroke. The fifty yard breast strokei was won by Vose of. Phi Kappa Psi. Both the relays were taken by Phi Kappa Psi. Finals li the medley relays and the diving were run off Monday! night. Maxian of Xi Psi Phi took the honors in the diving. Culminating the best season ex- perienced so far in inter-fraternity swimming nineteen teams were entered in the championships.
