THE MICHIGAN D)AILY cA Close Fight' Is Demisey's Dope On Schmeling-Baer Bout By DON BIRD This week marks the end of a strenuous training period for the prinripals in the Schmeling-Baer fight in Yankee Stadium June 8. And don't think the two I\Iaxes are the only principals in it either. Mr. Wil- liam Harrison Dempsey has been do- ing almost as much road 1vork and more pcrspiring than both fighters in the last two weeks. Becides doing an excellent Tex Rickard promoting- act, Jack has sparred several rounds with each man in his training camp. From an impartial angle Dempsey figures both men to average about even in abilities. He says Schmeling is more elusive and a much smarter boxer than Baer, but the Califor- nian has the punch and throws the mitts so they hurt more, al- though l e a vI n g SCUMELING himself wide open at times. J a c k says."both can take it, and take it a lot." Dempsey Was Smart Of course Dempsey is definitely out of the fight picture forever, and there is good reason for such a de- cision too. Boxing is a tough game and not many men can stand the gaff for long. For instance, where is the host of heavyweights that was in the offing last fall. Outside of the casualties of Ernie Schaaf, Monte Munn, and Tuffy Griffiths, where are such promising boys as Uzcudun, Braddock, Risko, Stribling, Delaney, Heeney, Maloney, Berlenbach, and Levinsky? Probably you will find them battered and short-sighted, turned into shamblers. It doesn't; take much head punishment to shake up the brain and to snap the re- flexes needed by a good fighter. And out of this long list have sur- vived four outstanding heavies; Jack Sharkey, the champion; M a x Schmeling, the ex-champ; Max Baer, the challenger; and Primo Carnera, a 265-pound hulk. These are the boys who could take it and keep going, and this summer promises some ac- tion among these "iron men," if Jack Dempsey has his say. Teuton Still iFavored Schmeling so far is the favorite in the coming bout, but anything can happen. The Ger- - man boy is more experienced, b u t - Baer is bigger and a little faster. Schmeling is seri- ous while Baer is inclined t o b e careless. Baer has a wicked left to ma tch Max's mighty left jab. Both can punch and take a lot. Schmeling has a trick of lashing out a right when appa- rently ready to relax. Schmeling will weigh in at about 189; Baer plans on getting down around 206. In the background of next week's battle looms a go between Sharkey and Carnera somtime this summer,! with the probability of the winner meeting either Schmeling or Baer in the fall. Sharkey has gained his title largely through lucky bookings and at least two friendly decisions over Mickey Walker and. Schmeling. There undoubtedly will be a mad scramble to relieve him of it by the few eligibles surviving the summer activities. The Italian. Giant has improved very well in the last year, and with his weight and size is fig- ured to become a real threat to all comers. The dopesters pick him to trounce Sharkey, should they meet. Clint Sandusky Named As New Tennis Captain Net Squad Ends Season Breaking Even In Dual Meets Won And Lost Clinton D. Sandusky, '34, of Dan- ville, Illinois, was eleced captain of the Varsity tennis team for next year by the members of this year's squad. The election took place yesterday afternoon after the tennis team had had a group picture taken for the Michiganensian. The new leader will succeed Dick Snell, this year's net team captain. Eight Awards Made The following "M" winners were announced by Coach John John- stone: Richard Snell, Utica, N. Y.; Seymour Siegel, Grand Rapids; Charles Nisen, Milwaukee, Wis.; Joseph Appelt, Grand Rapids; Clin- ton Sandusky, Danville, Ill.; Ralph Baldwin, Grand Rapids. Secondary awards went to Grosvenor Root, De- troit, and John Lederle, Royal Oak. The new captaincy selection cli- maxed the season for the tennis team, which, in the opinion of many, did not live up to the expectations that had been held earlier in the year. The record for this was an even division of wins and loses in the dual meets and the team finished fifth in the Conference meet at Chicago. Veteran Player Sandusky has been a member of the team for the past two years and this year was one of the outstanding players on the squad. Out of the eleven dual meets, the Wolverines took five, suffering five losses and one tie. Michigan won only one of the four Conference dual meets and tied one. The victory and the tie were in both cases with Ohio State; the losses were to Chicago and Northwestern. Board Of Regents To Decide Future Of Golfers Today Further activities of the golf team hinge entirely on the action of the Board of Regents in its meeting this afternoon. There is some question of the ability of the University to send the team to the National Intercol- legiate meet at Buffalo, June 26 to July 1, and the Board must approve extra finances for the trip. This means that the team may or may not be on hand to defend the sec-j ond-place position it won on the same course last year. Fischer to Defend Title Captain-elect Johnny Fischer will defend his national title at the meet regardless of the action of the Re- gents. The champion won a close match with Billy Howell of Washing- ton and Lee last year 2 to 1, but after easily winning the Conference title this year, he is in very good form to rep at. Johnny will also compete in the National Open, the National Am- ateur, and perhaps the Western Amateur tournaments this summer. Women Netters Start Play In Final Rounds Finals in the women's tennis championship tournament comes as the climax of more than six weeks of play. Held up by rain and uncon- ditioned courts, the entire arrange- ments for the tourney had to be changed. A system of elimination tourneys ran off every afternoon was chosen as the means to the closing rounds of the tourney. Contestants were re- quired to come out every afternoon and play until eliminated. Doris Chrisman and Beatrice Mass- man have survived this grueling series, and will meet in the title match this afternoon at Palmer Field. Doris Chrisman eliminated Doris Gimmy in the semi-final round of her bracket, while Jo McLean lost to Beatrice Massman. In the mixed doubles Beartice Massman and Harvey Bauss defeated Alice Williams and Bob Rowe for the title in straight sets, finishing with scores of 6-4; 6-3.

For Quality See HERTLER BROS. AMONG THE LIST of "magnifi- cent"sports here in Ann Arbor, we find one usually confined to fra- ternity freshmen. It has all the ad- vantages of a bath, a shower, a swim and a wrestling match rolled into one. The sportive occasion is the' washing of the fraternity dog. Fraternity dogs are, characteris- tically, large and rambunctious brutes blessed with a particular capacity for pure cussedness. Bathing such an animal is an occasion for preparation and even prayer. Hanging onto the remote stern of a Great Dane whose anterior portion is enduring the du- bious pleasures of a fraternity shower is really a sporting event, but the man in the shower must be a cross between Johnny Weissmuller and Jim Londos to really do an efficient job and be happy about it all. Relief for the suffering freshmen is now in sight, we learn from an article in the Los Angeles Times by Henri Delanci. It seems that the bus- iness of washing dogs is now being taken by up California by dog laun- dries, which charge rates varying from ten cents a pound to fivedol- lars a hound. Laundry is called for and delivered F.O.B. your own ken- nel. In Paris, according to the author of the original story, the professional dog washers frequent the quays along the Seine, where they wash dogs at some fifty cents per canine regard- less of size. These professionals are real sportsmen, since they run a risk on the job. The dog is likely to escape and roll in the dirt, thus making their trouble all to no avail. Consequently, they have 9 very definite routine which minimizes the sporting chance of the dog to get away. After the rinse, the swimming dog is grasped firmly by the scruff of the neck anc hauled dripping from the historic water, which later fly in all directions as the animal is allowed one, only one, good shake. Then he is pounced upon and rolled in a blanket, from which he is al- lowed to escape only to be chained upon a clean cloth placed upon the cobblestones. This is the technique of the pro- fessional . . . fraternity freshmen please note. i + ' it i ' ---_.._ Hayworth; Chicago, 1-6-2, Gaston, Kimsey, Miller and Berry.
