r, MARCH 22, 1935 THE IMICHI GAN DAILY * STAR * c DUST *-Bv ART CARSTENS- + For the first time in five years the entry list for the diving event in the National Collegiate swimming meet,' to be held next week at Harvard, does not include one or two performers who can be rated in a class by them- selves, far superior to the rest of the field. The high and low board events, held together for the first- time this sea- son, promise to be wide open affairs, with any one of more than a half- dozen divers holding a good chance to walk off with one or both titles.

Cardinals And Giants Favorites To Take National League Flag Looking over the record books and pondering on results so far this year we have come to the conclusion that the diving crown for both high and low board is open to one of eight men: Bill Busby of Iowa, John Flocco of West Chester State Teachers (W. Va.), Frank Kurtz of Southern Cali- fornia, Earl Jansen of Illinois, and the Michigan quartet of Frank Feh-' senfeld, Ned Diefendorf, Ben Grady, and Der Johnston. Busby was crowned Big Ten champ- ion last Saturday with 121.12 points, with Fehsenfeld second with 114.36. Diefendorf with 109.24, Jansen with 106.96, Grady with 106.64, and John- ston with 105.94 finished in that or- der. Michigan's feat in qualifying its complete squad of four divers out of 19 original entries is unparalleled ini Conference history, and competition was so close that one bad dive could have disrupted the last four places, which in fact was the case when Johnston missed his one and one-half "Flying Dutchman" when he was in third place and slipped to sixth. Getting back to our dope sheet, it would seem to the casual observer that Busby was the best diver among the six above, but other results this year and last prove that the outcome of the Big Ten meet is only one day's rating of these performers. Busby finished second to Degener in the Big Ten last year but placed seventh in the Nationals, while John- ston finished out of the money in the Conference and was beaten only by Degener and Wayne in the N.C.A.A. This year Jansen beat Busby in a dual meet, and the Michigan fourl have beaten each other spasmodically, casting grief into any one who might attempt to rate their ability. Coach Mann says Flocco is the boy to wa'tch. The West Chester boy was beaten out by Johnston last year for third place by .8 of a point. Kurtz finished fifth, .84 of a point behind Flocco, and was advanced to third place on the All-America ahead of Johnston, Busby, and Flocco. ,This year the Southern California diver was beaten by Galitzen in an open meet, but has won handily in all his dual competition. Wading through all these figures} and comparisons we find ourselves right where we started from. For the first time in five years: the National Collegiate diving title is open to any one of eight entrants, four from Michigan. mile-relay team, western uon erence champions, will be composed of Fred Stiles, Bog Osgood, Harvey Patton, and Stan Birleson. Patton will be replacing Aikens on the team which won in the Big Ten meet. The individual performers who are entered are Bob Osgood and Willis Ward in the 60-yard high hurdles, Dave Hunn in the pole vault, Kon- rad Moisio in the high jump, and Sam Stoller in the dash. Ward is also en- tered in the dash but will probablyF concentrate on the hurdles. Hockey Captain Works Out With Red Wings Captain Johiny Sherf of the Wol- verine hockey team has been prac- ticing with the Detroit Red Wings, professional hockey team since the close of the season here two weeks ago. The Michigan wingman has worked with the professionals three times. With the opening of fall practice next October, Sherf expects to try out for a regular berth on the. team. His experiences among the pro players have proved to be of an en- tirely different sort than as a Big Ten star. Whereas here he played as many as sixty minutes of a game. only putting on the pressure and speed at intervals for a scoring attempt, he finds professional style quite differ-a ent. In Big Time hockey the forwards play for very brief periods, usually. three to six minutes at a time, and then a substitute line replaces them.

It became evident that the pitch- ng is further advanced than the hit- ting for Berger Larson, Art "Lefty" Settile and John Gee, who divided the pitching against the Varsity, held ,he wolverine sluggers to five hits. No Hits Off Gee Berger Larson yielded two hits in three innings, a double by Teitle- baum and a single by Ford. Settle was touched for singles by Capt. Oliver, Regeczi and Ford in four frames, and Gee, the 212-pound, six- foot-seven-inch southpaw escaped unscathed in the last two innings. The potential hitting power whicb lies in the bats of Clayt Paulson, Kiir Williams, George Ford, Jack Teitle- baum, Buss Oliver and John Regeczi should h1ecome apparent after the boys have adapted themselves to the open air. Zeke Patanelli, Earl Meyers and Ferris Jennings led the Reserves' at- tack with George Butler, Mike Melt- zer and Ron Wolfe hurling for the Varsity. Coach Fisher, in his desperate search for a catcher, tried Vic Hey- liger, erstwhilenoutfielder, behind the plate, but the move will probably not be a permanent one. In the games played Wednesday and yesterday, none of the six catchers whom Fisher has used, succeeded in catching a base stealer, and the reason wasn't due to any fleetness of foot exhibited by the purloiners. Fisher frankly admits that the catching problem has him up in the air, but he finds some consolation in the antics of his infield and hopeful anticipations of good pitching and hitting. With Heyliger catching, Williams moved to the outfield, but did some backstopping later in the game. Infield Looks Good The Varsity infield with Capt. Oliv- er at first, Paulson at second, Ford, short, and Teitlebaum, third, dis- played excellent fielding for its sec- ond day outdoors. Fisher hasn't yet decided whether he will play Ford at short or shift him to third, his natural position, moving Teitlebaum, Varsity shortstop of two years ago, back to short. Joe Lerner, who split the first base job with Whitey Wistert last year, and Carl Ferner, a left-handed hitter who looks good against right-handed hurling, may break into the lineup somewhere' WOMEN'S SPORTS The Interclass basketball tourna- ment has been finished with the seniors the winners. They won all the games played and the freshmen were the runners-up. The all-star team will be announced shortly. Last Saturday the senior team played Central State Teachers Col- lege in an exhibition game at a high school play day at Mount Pleasant. The seniors lost 20 to 22 in a very fast and well-played game. This ex- hibition was put on at a meeting which was held to improve basketball as played in high schools and to standardize rules. !' rI F' i The WORSTED-TEX SUIT $35 The SAXON-WEAVE SUIT SURE BET MICHIGAN has selected refreshment . . . for pleasure You can't lose.
