""HE MICHIGAN DAILY I -I TUE MICHIGAN DAILY I From the PRESS BOX By John Thomas Mann As Announcer Champion Degener Big Ten Boxing Jack Keller A MAESTRO and master of cere- monis of no mean ability was procured for the forthcoming Good Will Boxing Show yesterday when Matt Mann accepted the invitation to act as announcer. Mann must be known all over the country for the way he takes charge of the swimming meets in the I-M pool. His clipped English ~ccents re- verberate through the audienceands after this start in the boxing racket, Madison Square Garden will un- doubtedly sign him up immediatelya to take Joe Humphries' place as theirt well-known announcer. * * * DICK DEGENER has been called "The best diver of all time." Hes undoubtedly is, a fact which will sur-1 prise Michigan swimming fans. I Although he only placed third int the Olympics, he is rightly rated< above the former amateur, Mickey Riley, and Dutch Smith, his con-I querors.' One hot morning last sum--c mer the diving in the Olympics was started. At 8 a. in. they started their first dive. At 11:30 they finished their tenth. There were about 20] different divers and the officials ran them off in one heat which took ap- proximately three and one-half hours to complete. There was no shade at all for the divers and toward the end, everyone suffered from the boiling sun. Through his seventh dive Degener was leading all the contestants. He had compiled one of the best records ever made in the Olympics, includ- ing one dive that drew the highest rating of the day. But on the eighth, he flopped. The sun had numbed him and his sense of balance was gone. He stood up for his eighth dive, a two-and-one-half front flip, which is his favorite, incidentally. His legs really had life in them, but he could not feel it. His approach was. fine and he jumped. His legs took him up higher than he thought they could and he did his flips too soon and came down on his back, a two and three-quarters. He only got 5 on it although he had been knock- ing off lOs be ore. That flop set him back to third place. On his ninth and tenth dives, he tried the board first, went back into his entree, and did his dive. By doing this, he could judge his legs and rearrange his tim- ing to suit the new situation. But seven months later he took four major titles, two of them the highest in amateur circles. He won the Big Ten low-board, the Intercol- legiate low-board, and the A. A. U. high and low board titles. Riley could not capture both of the latter last year as Degener won one. BIG TEN BOXING advanced a step recently as Northwestern sent a team to Wisconsin. The Madi- son boxers won, 6 to 2. There is an- other mtach scheduled between the two schools at Evanston. Ohio State wanted to put a team in the ring against the Wildcats but so far there has been no scheduling of such a contest. Northwestern will fight Loyola U. of Chicago later in the spring with its Varsity eight- man team. TINK TEMPLETON recently saidI that Jack Keller of Ohio State rated with Carr and Eastman as the greatest senior college track man in the coutrty this year.I The San Francisco sport column- ist said that if Keller had had any1 luck at all, he would have smashed4 the world's record in the high hur- dles to kingdom come.

NLESS Michigan's ppitching staff rounds into shape soon, it looks bad for Coach Ray Fish- er's disposition. "4i guess it justi isn't good pitching k .weather," said the ' a mentor mournfully as he gazed over t h e diamond in est erd ayafter- noon's workout for Michigan's Wolverines. It was a poor spectacle from the hurlers' view- point, and one not much better for the batters, since so many men were walked that there wasn't much hit- ting done. McKay Lasts Four Frames Lefty McKay managed to weather, four stormy innings before his sore arm gave way almost .entirely and he took a lacing from the Varsity batters :opposing him. McKay's con- trol was poor yesterday afternoon, due to an enforced layoff. Patchin, big sophomore right- hander, hurled for the Varsity yester- day, and he did not fare a great deal better than McKay. His curves were not breaking well and his control was rather poor. Still he weathered four innings well and successfully re- lieved McKay when the latter was unable to extricate himself from a bad hole. Fish Loads Bases Fish relieved Patchin, and he im- mediately walked one man, another singled, and another walked. Thus, the bases were loaded with none out. Then the moundsman steadied and retired the side with an easy force- out at home and a neat double play on two weak grounders to the infield. Menefee relieved McKay, for the Yannigans. Among the 'outstanding hits seen during the afternoon were a double by Manuel, Varsity first baseman, and a neat single to left by Ware for the second outfit.
