12, 1932 THE MICHIGAN DAILY Dliicago Alumni Trophy ill Be Awarded Today f xHAVEGOOD CHANCE Willis Ward Also Considered to Be Likely Selection for Freshman Honor. Naming Lineman Would Break Precedent of Three Year's Duration. Michigan's most promising fresh- man football player will receive the highest award today when the coaches, gather this afternoon to select the winner of the Chicago Alumni Trophy. This award is presented after Spring practice each year to the outstanding yearling on the quad. Basis of comparison is determined by the individual crop of aspirants and this season's group is one of the best in recent years. Captain Roy Hudson won the tro- phy three years ago, Estil Tessmer the next year, and Herman Ever- hardus last spring. Although it is not a definite rule, it is usually true that the winner of the trophy also wins a Varsity berth in the follow- ing fall. Jerry Ford and Emling are the two outstanding centers of the yearling squad. Ford has a great prep school reputation, playing with Grand Rapids South. Both of the centers will rival other candidates for the honor although in the last four years, the winner has been a backfield candidate. Willis Ward is. the outstanding end candidate among the first-year footballers. The tall rahgy wing- man is especially adept at catching passes. He can go high into the air to draw down the pigskin just as the famed Benny Oosterbaan did in his Varsity days. Russel Oliver is a hard plunging fullback with plenty of leg drive. His defensive tactics are satisfac- tory and he is a good blocker. As he is in the limelight in the back- field, many expect the honor to be bestowed upon him. Ford, Ward, and Oliver are great- est competitors for the trophy al- though several other yearlings are being mentioned along with these favorites. When the coaches convene today, they will have a harder job than in most seasons. Any one of these three stars are ready to step into a Varsity position next fall if the regulars falter in the least. WOLVERINE TENNIS MA TCH POSTPONED With the Michigan-Western State tennis match again rained out yesterday, it seems that the weather decrees that the two teams will never meet. The first postponement came on Saturday afternoon, an- other cloudburst intervening. Coach Byrum of the Hilltoppers notified John Johnstone, coach of the Michigan net squad, yesterday morning that the weather condi- tions at Kalamazoo were such that the match could not be played. The outcome of the match would have been very dubious as far as the Wolverines were concerned. Western State has a team which is probably as good as any' collegiate "aggregation in Michigan. Their early season record shows victories over Notre DMe and Grand Rapids J.C. Most notable, however, was a three-all tie with Chicago's netmen. The Maroons have shown their power in defeating Northwestern's crack team by the score of five matches to one. With the Wildcats apparently holding an edge over the Wolves in the unfinished con- test of Monday afternoon,' Michi- gan's hopes against the Hilltoppers seemed rather dim. Athletic Honor Group Elects New Officers Phi Epsilon Kappa, physical edu- cation honor fraternity, held elec- lion of officers last week. The men chosen to pilot the organization through the 1932-33 season are: Kent Bowsher, '33, president; Stan Kracht, '33, vice-president; Harold Kammerer, '34, secretary; and Ed O'Donnell, '34, treasurer.

Above is shown the Chicago Alumni trophy which will be awarded today to the most promising freshman football player. The trophy is awarded annually to the man showing the best form in the Spring foot- ball drills. Ford, Oliver and Ward are considered to be the outstanding candidates. ROOKIE HURLER PITCHES NEW YORK TO 3 TO 0 VICTORY OVER ST. LOUIS Brooklyn, Cardinals Battle Innings; Phillies Lose. 12 American LeagueY i}uckeyes Boast Power in Dashes and Hurdles With Large Numbers in Each. - Chio's Buckeyes will play host tor 20 Wolverine thinclads this Satur- day afternoon in the second dual1 meet on the Michigan schdule. The Maize and Blue are the favorites in the Columbus battle, although the Scarlet and Gray will give the Wolves a real struggle. In the hurdle races the Buckeyes are practically certain of taking the honors, with their star Jack Keller as the favorite. Black and Johnson will also be in there to give the Michigan timber-topper, Haw-' ley Egleston, plenty of trouble. There is no doubt as to the abil- ity of the Ohio State barrier artists as the shuttle relay team from Co- lumbus captured the laurels in that event at the Penn carnival two weeks ago. Fazekas is Threat. The Ohioans also boast a great array of dash men in Fazekas, Ben- nett, Ross and Stapf. This quartet composed the team which won the half-mile relay at Pennsylvania this spring. Fazekas will prove to be plenty of trouble for Renwick in the sprints, if he comes through as the dopesters figure he will. Another member of the Buckeye squad which is practically certain of a first place is Wonzewitz, who cleared the bar at 13 feet six inches to tie with Beecher of Indiana for the winning position in the pole xaF" in the big Pen carnival. This mark established a new meet ree- ord for the event. Have Russel in High Jump. The Scarlet and Gray are fairly strong in the high jump, with such men as Russel, who tied Juek for laurels in the indoor meet last win- ter, and Hochman. Judging by the indoor meet with Illinois and Ohio State the Wolves look as if they will not have a great deal of difficulty in besting the Buckeyes, however the State team has been considerably strengthened since that time and promises to put up tougher opposition this Sat- urday. Yearling Golf Team Will Play 'B' Squad Saturday Afternoon Freshman golfers will have their first real test of strength this Sat- urday afternoon when they en- counter the "B" team, which will be composed of the six members of the Varsity squad that do not make the trip tohColumbus for the Ohio State match. Due to the skillful tutelage of Coach Trueblood the yearling links- men have shown remarkable pro- gress since the opening of the season. A list of the men who will most probably play the "B" team and their average scores are as fol- lows: Sweet, 77; McKinley, 77 1-3; Markham, 79; Seeley, 80; Ross, 80 1-3; Neahr, 81 1-3. Trueblood wishes to announce that any student who feels himself capable of bettering any of these scores is invited to try out for a place on the team. No matter which six of the ten men the yearlings play, they will have difficulty in coping with the superior form and experience of the "B" team.

MORR I IL, j So State St, Ar Arbor' Michigan Nine Bats at .243 Pace; Artz in First With .434 Batting averages including all games played up until Saturday by the Michigan nine show that Avon Artz, slugging outfielder whom Coach Ray Fisher has used on and off so far, is leading his teammates with a ma rk of .434, having been at bat 23 times for 9 hits and 10 runs. Artz also holds the top mark for batting in any-one game, with four hits in live times up in the game with St. Paul's (Rikkio) of Tokio last Wednesday. Following Artz is Art Superko, veteran third baseman, with an average of .340. Tompkiis with .285 and Waterbor with .277 have third and fourth positions. Artz's 10 runs aso hold the lead in that division. Superko has 16 safe hits to his credit to pace the total-hit column. Ken Manuel has the best defen- sive record of the regular infielders, making only one slip in 99 chances, which goes a long way toward mak- ing up for his low hitting figure of .196. Mike Diffley is another strong player on the defense whose batting has been definitely inferior this year. Diffley has had three errors against him while accepting 65 chances. He is seventh in the bat- ting average list with a percentage of .216. The batting average of the entire team is .243. The complete summaries follow : (Only those who have made fifteen or more official appearances at the plate are included.) by Fred A. Huber 'e 'problem: A team batting average of .243, the hardest sched- ule in many seasons facing them, and only one pitcher of tried value. Thus the appearance of two con- Sceutive days of rain have only further complicated the trials of Coach Ray Fishcr. During the remainder of the baseball sehcdae the varsity nine is due to face Ohio State twice in two days at Ann Arbor, meet Purdue and Illinois on their home grounds on succes- sive afternoons, and wind up the year by meeting Chicago on May 28, and Ohio State in a pair of games the 29 and 30.
