THE MICHIGAN DAILY . i 5 . I PRESS BOX By John Thomas Rain May Keep Gridmen From Praetiee Game Dic k Deoener Retains National Gymnast Show Diving Title; Schmieler Loses Draws Crowd Interest Centers In National Hockey League In Cup Serie Beer?9 Pug Rentner BEER OR NO BEER, it seems that Michigan's athletes will be teeto- tallers, at least to the same degree that they are now. Getting down to beer facts yesterday afternoon, the inquiring reporter interviewed sundry members of the Wolverine coaching staffwith fairly negative results. Coach Yost's attitude was one of surprise that suc~h a question should be asked. "If athletes are to be trained on alcohol, then generations of athletes and trainers are wrong,,, said he substantially. He added that alcohol was a narcotic, and that if a sport existed in which a narcotic was part of a good training diet, alcohol would be all right for an athlete in that sport. "The consumption of alcohol has a detrimental effect upon the physical development of youth," said the Ath- letic Director, "and since Michigan athletes are striving for physical de- velopment, the use of alcohol by them will be discouraged." Coach Ray Fisher of Michigan's baseball team said that the use of alcohol, especially in any quantity, would be taboo on the diamond squad, although the enforcement of training rules is essentially up to'the individual member of the group. The mentor also added that most am- ateur athletes were so interested in improving themselves as athletes that few were ready to take chances on physical fitness, When asked about the attitude to- ward drinking in professional base- ball circles, Coach Fisher said that was all right until a man began to fail to deliver, but if a player who was notoriously a rounder did fall into a slump, he was relegated to the minors more quickly than one who was making a conscientious effort to keep training. Coach Hoyt stated that, having had no experience with beer in the training of athletes, he did not care to be quoted on the subject, but Coach Ken Doherty of the freshman track squad said that drinking, like smoking, was frowned upon in train- ing rules, although keeping training was essentially a matter for the indi- vidual. So it looks like no beer for the Wolverines . . . well, not much, any- way. First Scrimmage, Carded For Today, May Be Put Off By Bad Weather Lineups Uncertain Other Teams Keep Many Veterans From Joining In Spring Drills Following two days of consistent rain which have turned South Ferry (Special to The Daily) Dick Degener, Michigan diving ace, was the only Wolverine to retain his National A. A. U. title in the meet held in New Yofk Friday. Degener took the title with a beautiful exhibi- tion of low board diving that gave him 140.33 points to 121.56 scored by his nearest competitor, Al Greene, of Chicago. Degener took the title from "Mickey Riley" Galitzen and Lobdell of Iowa last year, as a sophomore. He and Walter Spence of Rutgers, who took the 100-yard free-style title, were the only university men who copped titles, the rest of the crowns going to former collegiate tarV.

The thrilling event of the eve- ning was "Tiger Leaping" in which the whole squad took part. It consist- ed of diving over a jumping standard between the heights of four feet to as high as eight feet onto a horse, and from there onto the mat. In the higher jumps, a spring board was used. Comedy was ,introduced into a number on the parallel bars by Coach West and Oren Parker. Both dressed up in burlesque dress suits and per- formed in a humorous manner. Hil- ton ponto and Coach West were the outstanding performers, the former because of his excellent tumbling and the latter by his all-around good showmanship. By FRED A. HUBER 1 Tonight's play may mean the de- l termining of one of the finalists fort the annual Stanley Cup playoffs, the conclusion of the National League hockey season. The Boston Bruins, leader of the American division, will play their fourth game with Toronto,i pace-setter in the International di- vision, on the latter's ice. The Bruins have won two out of the three games to date and need but one more vic- tory to secure their margin in the three-out-of-five game series. The Toronto team is the defending cham- pion. Sunday night New York will face Detroit at Olympia in the other semi- final game, the winner playing either Boston or Toronto. The New York- Detroit series is of two games, the team scoring the greatest collective number of goals winning. New York won the first contest 2 to 0 at Madi- son Square Garden Thursday night. Canadiens Eliminated New York and Detroit eliminated the two Montreal squads, the Ma- roons and the Canadiens in the first round of the playoffs. These six teams qualified for the playoffs by their play during the regular season. The regular season consisted of a 48 game schedule, with the league di- vided into two divisions, the Amer- ican, comprising Detroit, Boston, Chicago, and the New York Rangers, and the International division, which is made up of Toronto, Ottawa, the two Montreal teams, and the New York Americans. The three teams with the highest point totals in each division qualified for the playoffs. Each victory netted the winning team two points, while a tie meant one point for each team. The teams finishing first in each division, namely Boston and Toronto, are now playing off their five game series, three victories being necessary for advancement. If ,the games end in a tie ten-minute overtime periods are played until a goal is scored. Two of the games have already gone into overtime. Second Place Teams Clash The second place teams in each di- vision, clash in a two-game series, total goals in the series determining the victor. Detroit, in this manner defeated the Montreal Maroons 5 goals to 2. The same rules govern the third place squads, where the Rangers outscored the Canadiens. -With Detroit meeting the Rangers, and Boston leading Toronto, an all- American club final is expected. 1 i 1 No lineups have been selected fort the scrimmage, which will be held when the weather is favorable and1 the ground dry. It is expected that two teams composed of veterans will meet in the main scrimmage, to be followed by two teams picked from the ranks of the newcomers. If the scrimmage is held today it will begin at 3 p. m. One of the latest arrivals to the fold is Tom Austin, regular tackle in 1932. His return is welcomed, as 'the - graduation of Wil- liamson, Marcov-: "sky, Cantrell, :Dammn and Sav-; 'age, have left the line with several holes. In addition W i s t e r t, tackle, and Ward and Pe- toskey, ends, are busy working out purr!V_ with the track and baseball squads, respectively. Of the backfield men, with Harry Newman lost by graduation, and Jack Heston, John Regeczi, and Rus Oliver bidding for places on other teams, only Stan Fay and Herm Everhardus, of last season's regular backfield, and Zit Tessmer, ineligible in 1932, are back. Approximately 70 men are now on the roster, most of whom have re- ported during the four practices to date. Rain hampered yesterday's drill which dealt largely with funda- mentals. Women Basketeers Reach Semi-Finals yards, swimming the distance in 3:42.5, more than six seconds over the time of 3:36.4 set by Buster Crabbe last year. Danny Zehr, whose career as a backstroker of national prominence while still in high school reminds one of Gene Venske's rise to fame, added another title when he flashed through to victory in the 150-yard backstroke. Indiana Grapplers ,Win National Championship Scoring one first, two seconds, two thirds and nine falls, Indiana's high- powered wrestling team repeated its triumph of last year by again win- ning the National Collegiate cham- pionship from a field of nearly 90, entrants, representing 32 schools, at Lehigh University, Bethlehem, Pa., last week end. Dick Degener retained his National A. A. U. lowboard diving crown in New York this week, when he out- classed a field of the nation's best. It was his second title in as many weeks, since he copped the Intercol- legiate laureis a New Haven last week. .Darkness, Weather Hatlt Ball Practice, A A EN AVANT tra F(.fMid a ¢ A 7S A AA Al A AA Burr, Patterson & Auld Co Dtittit, Micbigan !R8 4allcr 0ll, 1 tr.

Due to rainy weather and the re- sultant darkness prevailing in the Field House, the baseball practices for the last two days has been pretty much of a wash-out. The gloom in the building necessitated calling off batting practice yesterday as the boys couldn't see the ball. Fielding practice was the order of the day and balls were flying back and forth endangering life and limb.

Although he enjoyed the trip to Cali- fornia and got a kick out of playing in the annual football game, he now wishes that he had not accepted the invitation. For the first time since he entered the Wildcat school, Rentner is scho- lastically ineligible for track and field, not because of marks but be- cause of his participation in the ben- efit game. From Evanston comes the story that he high jumped six feet, four inches, which is al right; he'll never be called upon to'prove it.
