L~ll 7, 193~THE MICHIGAN DAILY JG THRLEE Hockey Four Puckmen Team Closes Season Against S-t. (2* - Four Men To Go To Big Ten WrestlingMeet Bissell Is Out Appear In Last [ College Game Johnny Sherf, In Michigan Uniform For Last Time, To Try To Boost Total John Jewell To Play NMaceollum Ends Career As Best Defense Man In Conference The collegiate careers of four Mich- igan hockey players will end tonight at the Coliseum, as a championship Michigan puck team rings down the curtain on a successful season with an engagement with St. Thomas A.C., of S. Thomas, Ont., the seventh Cana- tian club to invade local ice this year. The game will start at 8 p.m. If Michigan wins tonight a new record in Wolverine hockey will have been set with 12 victories, 3 losses, and 2 ties - another honor to be added' to the Big Ten and mythical Michigan collegiate titles. Co4Captains Johnnyw Sherf Sand Johnny Jewell, Don (Red) MacCol- lum, defensemen, and Walt Courtis, wingman, are the four seniors who will complete their services as Mich- igan puckmen. Sherf Saga Reached Peak Chief among these is Sherf, who leaves a great individual record for later Wolverine stars to shoot at. The Sherf Saga has reached its peak this season with the scoring of; 26 goals, a new high as far as Sherf is con- cerned and there are no other Mich- igan players who have scored more. His average is 1.6 goals per game, and, considering assists, 2 points per game. Jewell's appearance at goal tonight will very likely be little more than a gesture. Unless he gains in strength today, he probably will not play an more than four or five minutes. Yesterday was his first time on skates since his operation, and he stayedI on the ice only two or three minutes. To those who have seen him in action these last three years, Jew- ell's appearance will be a mild close to a three-year performance which culminated in establishing him as the best goalie in the Big Ten this year. Outstanding Defenseman MacCollum is the oldest in point of extended service. What with the in- eligibility bugaboo, he has taken four years to get through his college hockey career. He broke in in 1931-32, when Sherf and Jewell were freshmen. His play this year, with Larry David as a mate, pushed l'im to the fore as the ranking defenseman in the Middle West. He was named on the second team selections last year. 'Walt Courtis, for two years a re- serve, found his way into the starting lineup of the first championship team in four years. He has shown con- sistent improvement all season in ad- dition to his usual aggressiveness. The foe in tonight's battle is a re- 'rected one. With a win aver Lon- don A.C., a club which defeated Mich- igan early in the season 3 to 1, Coach Eddie Lowrey expects no easy game. Michigan will win, though, he be- lieves, inasmuch as Point Edward de- feated St. Thomas in the Intermediate Ontario Hockey Association play- offs. The Wolverines took Point Ed- ward, 2 to 1, in mid-season. Gelinas, Soo hne Lead All-Campus Swimmers Raymond Gelinas and Martin Sookne, with 10 points, were high- point men ii the all-campus swim- ming meet held at the Intramural pool last night. Gelinas won the 50-yard free-style anid the 50-yard back stroke events for his 10 points, and Sookne took both the 50 and 100-yard breast- stroke races." The summaries - 50-yard free style: Gelinas, Ryan, Griffin. Time: 26.2; 50-yard back stroke: Gelinas, Snyder, Kellogg - Time 34.3; 50- yard breast stroke: Sookne, Jones, Brumbaugh - Time: 34.4; 100-yard breast stroke: Sookne, Brumbaugh;, 100-yard back stroke: Elsworth - Time 1:17.0; 75-yard medley: Jones, Snyder -Time 50.4; Diving: Griffin, Ashe - 27 points. LOST ONLY FIVE FROSH Only five of Ohio State University'sj 205 freshmen football players have been lost through ineligibility. Ends College Play I STAR DUST, Tonight Wolverine hockey fans will see the last appearance of Johnny Sherf as a college player. The All- American forward ends his Big Ten career against St. Thomas A.C. He hopes to continue to play as a pro- fessional. N. U. Keyed To Stop Tankmen From Victory Kasley-Horn Rivalry In Breast-Stroke Event Is Feature Of Clash The Wildcats of Northwestern, up to this season a power in national swimming circles, come to Ann Ar- tor Friday night promising to throw aff the lethargy that has made them just another swimming team this year and really throw a scare into the ranks of Coach Matt Mann's champ- ionship tank squad. National champions in 1929, 1930, and 1933, Coach Tom Robertson's proteges have been spasmodically powerful and weak in their meets this winter. Although they have con- quered most of their opponents, ;wamping Wisconsin and Indiana in Conference encounters, they have :hrown away many individual vie- tories in careless fashion. Captain Horn Erratic Even Captain Don Horn,Inter- ;ollegiate and Collegiate record-hold- r in the 200-yard breast-stroke for M5-yard pools, has not maintained a steady pace. In one meet he came within 0.4 of a second of his national :ecord of 2:29, and in others he has finished close to 2:40 or else has >olitely refused to swim at all. Friday night he has promised to 'orget the gallery and really go after Jack Kasley, Intercollegiate record 'older for 20-yard pools. Qualified >bservers have it that Horn will be .orced to break the world's record if he is to defeat the Michigan sopho- more sensation. In Bill Rollinger, the Wildcats have i free-style expert who was rated third best in the nation last spring at 30 yards. Rollinger has not yet shown his form of last year this season, but .s determined to beat his old rivals Co-captain Bob Renner and Ogden Dalrymple in his last dual perform- ance in college competition. Hahn In Free-Style Events The 1933 medley relay team of Horn, Bernie Hahn, and Art High- land, set a new world's record in the National Collegiate meet of that year and back-stroker Hahn of that trio is back this season but is competing in the free-style events. In addition to the regular events of the meet, Coach Mann will send breast-stroke relay teams after the American records at distances rang- ing from 800 yards on up. COLISEUM CLOSES SUNDAY The Coliseum will close Sunday at 5 p.m., it was announced yes- terday by Eddie Lowrey, manager. Sunday, from 3 to 5 p.m., will be the last day for skaters. Low- rey warns those who have skates checked at the Coliseum to call for them this week. *-By ART CARSTENS- * Matt Mann yesterday added his words of wisdom to the current dis- cussion about "unbreakable" records, limiting his field to swimming marks and mark-makers.i The famous mentor refused to com- mit himself at all on "perfect" swim- ming marks, saying that no one can tell what they will be a decade hence. Physiological considerations, as he thinks, are only secondary to a men-' tal conditioin which defies any pro- precies. "It's absolutely a mental thing!" Matt shouted in his con- vincing way. Changes in tech- nique have made a difference but they canot explain the modern records as compared to those ex- isting just a few years ago. Of course, he pointed out, there are some things, like the butterfly stroke in breast-stroke swimming which make for better times but the main thing is that modern swimmers "just don't get tired as easily as they used to." He did not mean that physi- cal stamina has improved, only that swimmers refuse to admit that they're tired. He thinks, incidentally, that the butterfly stroke which Jack Kasley uses with such deadly effect should be made illegal. It is, he says, es- sentially an over-hand stroke, not a breast-stroke, but as long as it is of- ficially approved it would be foolish to ask Kasley to go back to the old style. The two things swimmers need, Matt says, are rhythm and "floating power." Rhythm, he says, is essential for the proper coordination of arm and leg strokes while "floating power" is just a characteristic some men have and some don't. Light, hol- low bones are the prime factors in making a "floater." This is one of the chief reasons why young boys, still in high school, have been such successful swimmers. Most high school boys are "float- ers" because their bones are still hol- low and light. Often, by the time they enter college they are pounds heavier. A floater has an original advan- tage over a non-floater in that he can expend all his efforts in forward motion while the latter has to waste strength keeping himself afloat. Matt used the examples of Taylor Drys- dale and Charlie Salie of Ohio State to demonstrate his point. Drysdale, he says, is a natural floater and sails effortlessly through the water, while Salie is a good backstroker but has to work like a horse keeping himself afloat. Distance swimmers like Jack Medica and Tex Robertson are almost always floaters, accord- ing to Matt, because conservation of every ounce of available energy is most important there. In his wandering but always ex- Alamation-pointed way Matt finally returned to the matter of records. In 1902 when Matt was junior champion of England (having won the title in a non-stop swim around the British Isles, it is rumored) the 100-yard free style record was held by one Ralph Derbyshire in 59.5 seconds. Ex- perts wrote reams proving that mark would never be bettered. Their predictions held for several years, at least until Jack Daniels, of the N.Y.A.C., invaded England and lowered the mark to 54.4 seconds to the consternation of a lot of pedagog- ial predicters. Daniels was clearly far ahead of his time, however. For six years swim- mers shot at his mark in vain, until Duke Kahanomoku camecalong and lowered it to within a second of the existing mark. It is evident, Matt says, that swimming records are far behind those of track, 20 years or more behind the cinder sport. A rec- ord of some sort is smashed at almoet every meet in which two good tank teams get together. The converging lines of existing marks and "perfect" records are still far apart. Heavenrich is Picked To Win In '135' Class Injuries Keep Levile And Bissell Out Of Big Ten Meet At Chicago Michigan's wrestling contingent of our Varsity men will leave today for Chicago, scene of the Big Ten wres- tling meet tomorrow and Saturday. Coach Cliff Keene is entering only those men who have a chance to win or place. Injuries are keeping two of, his ablest grapplers out of action. Abe Levine, who battled Cramer of Ohio State. the man favored to take the 165-pound title this week end, to a draw last Saturday, despite a broken rib, is in no condition for strenuous exercise. Frank Bissell, originally expected to compete at 155 pounds in the Con-; fcrence meet is nursing a cauliflower ear among other injuries, and will not enter the show at the Windy City, but will be in shape for the Nationals at Lehigh University later in the month. Heavenrich Is Favored Success in the Conference meet will act as the determinant of Michigan's squad of entries in the Nationals. Capt. Harrod leads the Michigan squad and will wrestle at 145-pounds. Wally Heavenrich will endeavor to bring home the Big Ten title in the 135-pound division. Seymour Rubin will represent the Wolverines at 126-' pounds and Bill Lowell fills out the list at 175-pounds. Heavenrich has defeated four Con- ference opponents and is not expected to meet any tougher opposition. Har- rod has returned to form, and al- though he was defeated last week against Indiana, he was leading his rival during the greater part of the match and lost it only by working for ja fall and letting his opponent get the advantage. Rubin Has Edge Seymour Rubin, has been consis-. tently good in all his matches this season and while he will run up against tough opposition, he has a better than even chance to win. Coach Keen stated thattbeginning Monday, spring wrestling practice will be held for three weeks. Anyone who is interested in learning the funda- mentals will have an excellent oppor- tunity to do so and will also have a chance to gain a position on next year's Varsity mat team. This prac- tice is especially open to men in the lighter weight divisions. The unsuc-J cessful season which the grapplers have experienced was due in a great measure to the scarcity of substitutes in the 118 and 126-pound classes. Tends Last Goal Although the Michigan track team will be top-heavy favorites for the Conference title in Saturday's meet at Chicago, competition for other 1 places will be bitter, according to the dope sheet of Phil Diamond, whichi predicts a close fight for second place t :etween Ohio State and Indiana, with 'he other schools stringing along be- l hind. Michigan entries are favored to take five and possibly seven firsts, and the remaining schools spliting the other wins. The leading representatives of the other Conference teams and their pos- sible points are given here according to their dual meet records and pre- dictions as in the dope "sheet." OHIO STATE - Led by Jesse Owens, who will enter the dash and probably the high hurdles, the Buck- eyes are picked for second place. John Wonsowitz, who has vaulted 13 feet, 5 inches this winter, will also be fa- vored to battle for a first place. Mel Walker, sophomore high jumper who has done 6 feet, 4 inches, is favored to offer Willis Ward of Michigan his first serious competition. INDIANA -Don Lash, another sophomore, will be favored in the two-mile run. His best time of 9:35.9 is not as good as he registered as a freshman, but is the best turned in by a Big Ten distance star. Marmeduke Hobbs, with 1:58 in the half-mile should finish high in that event, as well as in the mile, although his per- formances during the season have been erratic. Indiana's relay team has registered 3:26.9, the second best time of the season. IOWA -Picked by Phil Diamond for third place, the Hawkeyes will be led by the brilliant Jimmie Owen who has been credited with the world's rec- Johnny Jewell, out of 'the hospital only two weeks after an appendec- tomy, will make his last appearance on the ice for Michigan tonight. He skated yesterday for the first time since his operation and hopes to be in the nets for at least a few minutes. Coach Claims Net Teams s Strongest In Recent Years "The strongest and most balanced team to represent Michigan during my coaching career here is just lucky enough to come the year that the Big Ten has more individual stars than ever before," said Coach Johnny Johnstone while discussing the Wol- verine's 1935 tennis squad. There has never been a year, at least in recent times, that the Mich- igan net squad has not had a glaring weakness in at least one department, but with such veterans as Seymour Siegel, Howard Kahn, Ted Thornward, Johnny Rodriguez, and Bob Anderson, 'eady for another successful season, to say nothing of Milt Eskowitz, Bob Edmands, Miller Sherwood and Jarvis Dean there is every prospect to think that Michigan will have a particularly formidable combination, lacking per- haps in individual stars, but making up for this in team competition with points in all matches. An innovation in the playing of dual meets will be made when the Ohio State and Northwestern tennis teams come here the same week-end to- play the Wolverines and one another, thus saving the extra railroad expense. Michigan will do the same thing later x s e ? i r 2 1 i z 1 416 West Huron Phone 8270 h 'in the season when they journey to Michigan Seeks Cup In Chicago to play Northwestern and Minnesota.
