21, 1934 THE MICHIGAN DAILY Coach Keen And Nick Londes May Sixth Meet In Grudge Matcl Michigan Coach. Eighteen Promoter Agree, o mn Tu- " 7-uI _-_. Events Feature I-M Open House Tonight "N _. To Decide Issue Cliff Seeks Out Londes In Detroit In Attempt To Settle Controversy Disputants At Odds Up To Professional Now Whether Or Not They Will Meet On Mat By ROLAND MARTIN DETROIT, March 20. - Cliff Keen, Michigan wrestling coach, and Nick Londes, Detroit promoter, may meet in a private "grudge match," in the near future to settle their controversy over the relative merits of the ama- teur and professional grapplers. That match was tentatively decided here this afternoon when Keen made a personal call on Promoter Nick in the latter's office in an attempt to get to the bottom of Nick's challenge of yesterday. Just when the proposed match will take place was not decided at the meeting between the two principals in the controversy as several factors enter into into any definite arrange- ment of a bout. At the present time, Londes, who should not be confused with Jim Londos, world's heavy- weight wrestling champion, is suf- fering from an injury to his right hand which will prevent him from meeting Keen for a few days. Date Not Settled It was suggested here today that the two put on their demonstration at the conclusion of the finals of the National Intercollegiate Wres-, tling meet Saturday night in Ann Arbor. However, even though the Detroit promoter is physically able to wrestle, permission from the au- thorities would have to be obtained before the match could be put on in connection with the nationals. The match will take place in Ann Arbor in the near future, however, according to the agreement reached here today. Keen cae to Lndes' office to personally accept the lat- ter's challenge for a wrestling match, and it is now up to Londes whether or not he goes to Ann Arbor to make good his agreement with Keen. "Up to Nick," Keen Says "Londes has made his challenge to wrestle me," the Michigan coach told Daily reporters here, "and I've accepted. It is up to him now to make good his challenge. "As far as I'm concerned," he added, "the con- troversy is now a dead issue, but if Londes wants to come to Ann Arbor and fulfill his challenge, I'll wrestle him. The agreement reached between the two is that Londes as soon as his injured hand heals, will go to Ann Arbor and wrestle Keen under the amateur rules. These rules bar many of the holds that are part of the repertoire of the professional such as the toe hold, the full nel- son, and all of the so-called "pun- ishing" or "bone-breaking" holds. Londes Backs Steele Promoter Nick would also like to fulfill that part of his challenge con- cerning having Ray Steele take on eight college wrestlers in one after- noon. Londes maintains that the heavyweight challenger could wrestle these amateurs and, in one afternoon, pin all of them. But such a proposal is impossible, Keen said here this afternoon, as the amateur rules prevent any col- lege wrestler from meeting a profes- sional, regardless of the fact that no charge would be made to the matches. A match between Keen and Lon- des would prove to be one of the big- gest sporting attractions of the year, because of the prolonged controversy between them over the merits of the particular branch of wrestling which each supports. Cannot Agree In the conference today, neither of the two would give an inch and, if anything, the disputants were farther apart at the end. Keen still maintains that amateur wrestling is superior to professional, and Londes is just as adamant as regards the superiority of the pro For the benefit of reporters and photographers, the two demonstra- ted amateur and professional holds. In addition, Keen invited Londes to attend the finals of the Intercolle- giate meet Saturday, the Detroit promoter agreeing to be present at 'Ann Arbor to see for himself just how good the amateurs are. Last night, after Keen had de- parted for Ann Arbor, Londes told Daily reporters that he could pin the Wolverine coach in 15 minutes wrestling at I catch- as-catch-can" 500 Expected To Participate In Speetacle' Ping Pong And Boxing Included On Program; Begins At 7 P.M. At 7:00 p.m. today the curtain will rise on the largest athletic spectacle of the year, the sixth annual Open House Night of the Intramural Build- ing, and the first events of the 18- sport program, which will have over 500 participants, will get under way. For three hours spectators will be treated to a novel program of matches in a dozen and a half dif- ferent sports which vary from ex- hibition ping pong games to boxing matches. Four thousand, three hun- dred sport enthusiasts were on hand last year for the Open House when' only 16 sports were taken part in and with the adding of two more this year, it is felt that a new attendance mark will be set. Cagers Hold Spotlight Basketball is expected to hold the spotlight for the finals in three cam- pus tournaments, the independent di- vision and fraternity class A and B loops, will be played and from the class of basketball that these teams have shown throughout the season, it appears logical that the fans can ex- pect a trio of fast hard-fought battles tonight. All of these games will be played on court one of the main gymnasium and at 7 p.m. the class B final will be played between the Sigma Alpha Epsilon and Delta Chi teams. At 8 the class A championship will be decided but as yet it is uncertain as to which teams will be in action. Theta Chi in Finals The Theta Chi team, runners up of 1933, will be one of the finalists and the other will be either the Alpha Delta Phi or Phi Alpha Delta team. The latter two met Monday in a semi - final match and battled to a 19-19, three overtime period, tie. They are to play again before tonight with the winner going into the finals. The finals of the independent division will be at 9 between the Blue Raiders and the Humpty Dumptys. A foul-shooting contest will take place between halves of the class A game with the Blue Raiders, inde- pendent champions, meeting the Phi Beta Delta aggregation which won the fraternity meet. Wrestling Exhibition Wrestling enthusiasts will be treat- ed to a good show in the wrestling room of the Intramural Building where at 7:30 p.m. the all-campus wrestling finals will be held. In the main gymnasium at 7:00 the finals in the national A.A.U. codeball tourney will be played following an exhibition by Dr. William E. Code, inventor of the game. Howard Kahn, '36, and Robert An- derson, '35, will meet at 8 p.m. on court D of the large gymnasium in the finals of the all-campus indoor tennis tournament. Play in the other 13 sports will be going on constant-1 ly so that at no time will the spec- tators find a lull in activity. The ac- companying table shows the time and place of all events that have been scheduled. There is no admission charge for this athletic drama which in its six- years of existence, has grown from a program of eight sports to 18, cap- able of drawing crowds of over 4,000 people. Two Records Fall In All-Campus Track Meet The All-Campus track meet was held last night in the Field House, and one of the two features of the event was the low number of partici- pants. There were almost as many timekeepers and officials present as there were entries, 21 in number. The other bright light of the drab meet was the smashing of two All- Campus records by Wescott. He shat- tered the old mark of :08.9 in the 65-yard high hurdles with his own time of :08.6, and bested the old 70- yard low hurdles record, held by Jack Heston, with the fair time of :07.6. Winners in the other events were Wendland in the 60-yard dash and the broad jump, Fisher in the 440- yard run and the high jump, Lowe in the mile run, and Viergiver in the shot put.

"Ya wanna scrap?" says Nick to Cliff "Ann Arbor air I long to sniff. And I ain't had a good ole fight Since I come home too late one night I'm out for blood, I'll vent my spleen Upon the hide of you, Cliff Keen!" "I'll fight you then," says Cliff to Nick "Your ham-and-eggers make me sick Your grunting rasslers nauseate The public. I am here to state That if you wanna fight," says Cliff, "I'll stretch you out all cold and stiff." THIS IS THE STATE OF AFFAIRS yesterday noon when I go into Detroit to see my old friend Nick Londes, whom I meet yesterday for the first time. Mr. Londes is a promoter in the beef & brawn trade, known to some cynical newspaper characters as the grunt & groan industry and to the general run of citizens as the wrestling game. It seems that Mr. Londes, my old friend, goes and offers to pay the University of Michigan $1,000 for the loan of eight wrestlers who are to rassle one of his professional boys all in one afternoon to prove that the professional can pin eight amateurs all in one afternoon. What is more, he offers to pin Mr. Clifford Keen, who is the coach of the local grapplers. THIS, MIND YOU, is not all out of a clear sky. It all comes about when Mr. Keen, who is promoting the National Intercollegiate Wrestling meet here this weekend, casts a few minor aspersions upon the professional game in general. Now normally, my friend Nick is not given to actively resenting such remarks because if he does so he will naturally spend all his time resenting and have next to no time for promoting at all. But this time it just sd happens that Nick is promoting a World's Championship wrestling meet between Jim Londos, champion of the world, Arkansas and Indiana, and Ray Steel, champion of the Pacific Coach, Masachusetts, and Oshkosh, Wis. BUT MR. LONDES' BOUT happens to be on Friday night and so do the Intercollegiates, and naturally, when Mr. Keen is quoted as extending an invitation to Detroiters to come out and "see what real wrestling looks like," Mr. Londes has an idea that this other promoter-guy or coach-fellah, or whatever he is, is trying to muscle in on his territory. Well, in response to Nick's challenge, my friend Cliff answers that he is ready to take him on, and naturally I go to Detroit yesterday to see what Nick has to say in reply. I am just standing outside the office and admiring the picture of Jim Londos posed as the Discus Thrower, complete with discus, when who should come in but Mr. Clifford Keen. AM GREATLY SURPRISED for usually when two citizens challenge each other to fight they can not find each other no matter how hard they hunt. But anyway I am prepared for big doings when we pass through the outer portal guarded by two (Continued on Page 6) Mat Meet Will Be Largest In Event's History Ticket Sale Is Reported Heavy; Sell-Out Before Meet Predicted Latest entries in the Intercolle- giate wrestling meet indicate that it will be the biggest in the history of the event, it was saidyesterday at the office of Phil Pack, who is receiving the entries. Entries in Tuesday's mail swelled the total to more than 100, and the list of schools to more than 30, and indications were that this total would continue to grow since the deadline for entries has been ex- tended to Thursday. Last year's meet at Lehigh was the largest previously, w i t h 86 wrestlers from 30 schools entered. Early ticket sales are also heavy, Harry Tillotson, athletic business manager in charge of ticket sales said, and he predicted a sell-out of the 4,000 seats before the meet be- gins on Friday afternoon. Season tickets for the four ses- sions are $1.50, with single admis- sion tickets to all events but th finals 40c. Single admission to the finals on Saturday night is 75c. Tickets are on sale at the Union and at the Athletic Administration offices, Ferry Field. WOMEN'S SPORTS SCOUT LEADERSHIP A course, which will begin next week in Girl Scout leadership is going to be offered at the Women's Ath- letic Building under the auspices of the athletic department. National headquarters in New York City of the girls' organization is sending one of their best field representatives to take charge of the group. It will be interesting to see how the girls on the campus take to such a course. It will be offered in conjunc- tion with a nation-wide movement, beginning with a Girl Scout week. Miss Alice Mulkey, who is in charge of the field work in the Great Lakes states will come to Ann Arbor next week. Her work, since she joined the national staff in 1932, has been chief- ly concerned with giving these lead- ership courses. Regarding the study from the point of view of college girls, Miss Mulkey says: "College girls with the altruism and enthusiasm of their age have shown a predilection for social work. There is laboratory experience to be had in handling a- Girl Scout troop and theory to be acquired in a lead- ers' training course. The laboratory experience is free, and the cost of the theory is nominal." The aim of the course now to be presented to the Michigan co-eds is not necessarily to turn out Girl Scout leaders, but rather to familiarize the students with the possibilities of Girl Scouting as an avocation. Miss Mulkey emphasized the flex- ibility and comprehensiveness of the material and its applicability to any living conditions, any group, or any locality. OVEREMPHASIS? The football team of St. Lawrence University, Canton, N. Y., actually lives, eats, and sleeps football. The squad lives in the same dormitory and at 10 p.m. daily the coach rings a bell, meaning that it is time to run signals in the dormitory hall. 1 i Open 'House Events Basketball finals in fraternity# class B-7:00; finals in class A- 8:00; finals in independent divi- sion -9:00; all games on court 1.

Coach Charlie Hoyt, Wolverine track mentor, has named a squad of 12 men to uphold Michigan's re- cently won supremacy in Mid-West track circles.
