lY, 1933 THE MICHIGAN DAILY PAG From the PRESS BOX By John Thomas College Baseball Wesley Feser Wildcat Football ) L L E G E baseball eeldom pays. Coach John Kobs, of Mich- igan State, experi- enced considerable difficulty this year in completing his schedule as the ex- penses of visiting teams would force :n extinction of his .- sport. So he guaranteed the visiting teams' room and board and has been able to keep his guarantees through the co-operation of campus social fraternities. The enthusiasm with which the fraternities are taking care of the visiting athletes insures friend- lyly athletic relations between State and her visiting opponents. Presidenti William. Veeck of the Chicago Cubs will donate all of the proceeds of the Northwestern-Cub baseball game at Wrigley Field, June 2, to the Wildcat Athletic Association in an effort to insure the continu- ance of baseball as a major sport at Northwestern. Prices will be greatly reduced from the regular schedule prevailing for the National League games and spe- cial student tickets will be put on sale to insure a large crowd so that the season's expenses can be met. Coach Paul Stewart feels that his club will furnish a high class of ball for its major league opponents. In former years Wildcat nines under Stewart have played Class A h1ll clubs on their Southern trips and he has come to the decision that a first rate college team can perform on a par with any major league club. As Michigan's Athletic Association has already taken in more money from the home baseball games this year than for the whole of last year, the sport might be termed as look- Art Patchin is still looking for his glove, lost after the Illinois game. ing up-as far as gate receipts are concerned. The drop in prices to 25 cents proved to be a good move-as newspapermen convinced Coach Yost that it would. The two Michigan-Ohio State base- ball games here this week-end will be free to parents of students. This has been arranged in connection with Spring Homecoming. HlARVARD expects that the addi- tion of Wesley Fesler to its coach- ing staff will makeup for the sched- uling of the stiffest basketball sched- ule in recent years. Fesler will be the head basketball coach and it is expected that his addition will match Princeton's mid-westerner who is a basketball coach too, Fritz Crisler. The influx of mid-western talent. to the Big Three has been responsible for their rise in intercollegiate con- tests, especially the major sports. * * * ABOUT 5,000 football fans sat through intermittent cloudbursts last week at Dyche Stadium to see the 1933 edition of Coach Hanley's charges. The Varsity defeated the Alumni, 13 to 0. The Wildcat hopes of a champion- ship eleven next fall are based upon various freshmen who "played havoc with the 'Men Before.'" The talent- ed freshmen material scored twice, once on an interception of Rentner's bullet passes and another on straight bucking. The Daily Northwestern says: "A moment of gladness that turned to sadness: when Rentner (of the Alumni) shot a pass over the line into the waiting arms of Manske (veteran end playing on the Varsity), only to realize that such a play was about five months off color."

Friday when the presentation will be made in a public ceremony at the Union. The coveted cup which is annually awarded to the football player show- ing the greatest improvement during spring practice will be presented to the 1933 recipient by Meyer Morton, '12L, of the Chicago Alumni Club.c Morton, a prominent Midwest foot- ball official, is credited with having sugested the award which gives spring gridders, especially freshmen something to work for. He comes toz Ann Arbor often each year, but al- ways makes it a point to be on hand for the presentation of the trophy. Football coaches stressed the fact that the award is not made solelyv on the basis of a player's showing in the game which ends each springr practice session, pointing out that regularity in attending daily prac- tices, ability to learn the Michigan< system quickly and well, and their application to the work all were in-1 cluded.l In addition to the men who starred in Saturday's game, Bob Wells, at freshman guard, appears to have a chance for the award. Wells was in the Health Service last week with a touch of pneumonia, but he was eas- ily the outstanding yearling guard prior to that. Name Edmands Rifl Manaoge For Next YearI Dorothy Edmands, '34, has been named manager of the women's riflec team for the coming year, it was an- nounced last night.7 The women's team was defeated in a return challenge match with the men's team by a 96.3 to 95.6 score Saturday. Jean Turnbull, '34, wasl high scorer for her team, scoring 99 out of a possible 100, and Stuart Wil- liams, '33E, shot 98 to place highest on the men's team. The women's team has had un- usual success in its intercollegiatel matches, losing only seven out of 24 matches. Its members who competed1 Saturday were Virginia Lee, '34, re- tiring manager; Patricia Woodward,1 '35, Edith Maples, '35, and Miss Turnbull and Miss Edmands.1 Homecoming Week Games To Be Free To Parents The two Michigan-Ohio State Uni- versity baseball games to be held1 during Spring Homecoming will be1 free to parents of students, it was ! announced yesterday.

Two days of wet, cold weather have seriously hampered the varsity track men in their preparation for both the meet with Illinois at Urbana next Saturday and the Big Ten Confer- ence meet at Northwestern May 20. A muddy track limited the cinder men to merely warming-up work- outs, and the pole-vaulters and broad-jumpers were forced to prac- tice in the field house. Coach Charley Hoyt has his field men working exceptionally hard for competition with strong javelin and discus throwers from Indiana and Illinois in each of the coming meets. Illinois is reputed also to be well fortified in the shot put and dashes. The Illinois meet on Saturday will be more than a mere inter-school contest. It will give the dopesters a chance to size up the strength of the two squads that are expected to seriously threaten Indiana's chances for the Conference title next week. It is understood that a few changes in the personnel of the squad will be forthcoming before the meet Satur- day in an effort to further balance the team strength. Just what they will be has been withheld from the public, although the middle distances are expected to receive most atten- tion.

Co-ed Tournaments DelayedBy Rains Weather is again responsible for delaying the progress of the women's spring tournaments. Tennis and golf are suffering, but the baseball play- offs will have to have definite cur- tailment in their programs. Interclass diamond teams will give I way to teams formed for open com- petition. The hours of play will be the same as before, save that 5 p. m. on Tuesday will be turned over to the Intramural players. More than a week of round-robin play has been lost in the Intra- mural section of the sport, so it will be necessary to advance into straight elimination this week,.as soon as the weather clears up and the diamonds are conditioned. Announcement will be made to house athletic managers as to who the next opponentwill be, and the time for play will then. be arranged by the managers.

Phone 9860 i ,ii r r yS l Illinois, by virtue of its early vic- tories, is setting the pace in the Western Conference baseball race, al- though the Illini are being hard pressed by a strong Wisconsin nine to hold the top place. The Badger team is an inexperienced one this year but Coach Lowman's sopho- mores have delivered well to date, especially in the pitching department. Strong batting by first baseman Schustek and four reliable hurlers, Wrobke, Smith, Tewel, and Carlson, make Illinois the favorite to retain the crown they captured in 1932. Michigan has played but two Big Ten games to date and has shown strong hitting power in both con- tests, batting out a total of 22 runs in its last two starts. Two games with Ohio State this week-end, and con- tests with Illinois, Purdue, and In- diana the following week will prove a real test for the Wolverine diamond squad.

Poor pitching has caused the downfall of the latter two teams, while the Hawkeyes have had passable mound work but little hit- ting power. Indiana- is another club that bids fair to finish high in the race. The chief factor in the Hoosiers' success to date has been their run-getting power. A veteran infield is another factor which helps greatly. The remaining trio of nines, Min- nesota, Northwestern, and Purdue are mediocre. While they will win several ball games apiece there is little chance of any of them taking the title. N " . . . a TWEEDLE is a fur- bearing mammal that doesn't mate or reproduce . ." N.
