THE M I C H I-C A N"DA I Y PAGE 8Nv SCOTT CAPT AINS YALE POLOISTS { -1 BOTH TEAMS UNBEATEN According to Coach Matt Mann there will be no let up in swimming practice for the entire week, with the Varsity working overtime in preparation for the crucial meet of the season. The Wolverines are scheduled to encounter the mighty Northwestern aggregation of nata- tors at Evanston on Priday, and are anticipating the hardest fought Conference nieet of the season. Northwestern has an imposing array of swimmiters in almost every event and with several impressive victories woi in competition thus far, the Wildcats are out to win over the Conference champions. Have Won Two. The Maize and Blue swimmers have won two Big Ten meets in their race to retain the Western Conference title. Indiana and Min- nesota have both bowed in defeat before the Michigan team this sea- son. The Gophers met the Wolver- ines last Saturday in the Intra- mural pool anid lost the 'contest, 52-23. The Minnesota natators took on-, ly one first place, as Coach Matt Mann's proteges turned in a fine exhibition of swimming, although not hard pressed throughout the, meet. Frank Walaitis again took high scoring honors by annexing first place in the diving, second in the 50 yard free style, and swim- ming on the winning free style re- lay team. Set New Record. A new record for the Intramural pool was set by the 200 yard relay team when the quartet covered the distance in 1:36, one-fifth of a sec- ond slower than the .national in- tercollegiate record for this event. The team was composed of Smith, Walker,'Walaitis and Hosmer. Bob Goldsmith took first honors in the 200 yard breast stroke. Bob Walker took the 50 yard free style with little difficulty, and Smith won the century free style event Michigan Wrestlers Lose to Indiana, 14-12 (Continued From Page 6) upheld his reputation by defeating Ross with an advantage of 9 min- utes and 30 seconds while Parker had six minutes over 'his opponent, G. Belshaw. The feature bout of the evening proved to be between Al Steinke and Indiana's Olympic wrestler, Captain Scott. Furious battling on both sides failed to reach a deci- sion, although at the end of the match Steinke had a small time advantage. This was too small to win, however, and the referee, Bar- ker, a former Michigan coach, de- cided it a draw. With the score 11-12 in Michi- gan's favor, Auer battled Unger to a draw through two exciting over- time periods. ij r r A i Associatc !ress Photo This year's captainship of the blue polo team has fallen to Hardie Scott of Strafford, Pa., the riding star of last year.

STOLPMAN SHOWS WELL At once. pleased with the upset ( of the Western Conference fencing champions accomplished by the Michigan swordsmen last Saturday ind yet refusing to acknowledge that the Wolverines have yet reach- ed the perfection necessary to win the Conference title, Coach John- stone sent his charges through a strenuous workout yesterday after- noon. In the matter of points as well 1 as bouts the match with the Illi- inois fencers was exceptionally close, with most of the bouts in fli foils and sabre being won by five to three or four points. Atnough Captain 4tolpman gave indications of possessing possibilities of win-J ning the Conference title in the foils by his close victory over Haier, the present champion, the other two Wolverine foil men were de-, feated by the champion. Gordon also proved stronger than was expected by winning both ofJ his bouts in the sabre, one of them. being against the present title hold- Ie and likewise indicating that the Wolveines had the leading candi- date for this year's Conference championship in this event. Ham- mer, with his startling upset of the champion, showed ability that shoul& carry him a long ways in the all-conference meet. The greatest weakness on the Wolverine team was in the epee in Iwhich they were forced to drop three ofthe four matches. Dow- set and Koon both fenced in good form but were nonetheless outstyled by Seibert of the Hoosiers.
