WDAY, MARCH 23, 1935 THE MICHIGAN DAILY I AGE THRER Wolverine Trackmen Favored To Repeat In Butler Relays _____ _ _ _.. _ ._ __ _ ____. e __ . Ohio Will Be Big Rival For Title Holders Michigan Represented In Meet By Five Individuals, 'Three Relay Teams INDIANAPOLIS, Ind., March 22 - (Special) - With one of the strongest fields gathered together for the in- door season, the Butler Relays will be held here tomorrow night with the University of Michigan, Big Ten team champions, ranking favorites to retain the team title in the University division, won last year largely by the individual efforts of Willis Ward, the Wolverines' great star. Featuring the meet will be the duel in the 600-yard run between two for- mer Indiana University stars who last year kept the Hoosiers in the run- ning against Michigan, Chuck Horn- boestel and Ivan Fuqua. Otto Pon- grace, midd?-distance star from Michigan State, is also entered in the event. The Wolverines have entered three relay teams and five individual per- formers, and are expected to retain the team title on the basis of prev- ious performances. The Wolverines four-mile, two-mile and mile relay teams are all rated capable of .bet- tering times which were good enough to win last year, and to place if not win in all. Ward, who last year took 13 points of his team's winning total of 18%/4 with wins in the high jump, dash and a second in the high hurdles, will again lead the Wolverine individual stars. Ward is entered in the two hurdle events, high jump, and dash, but is expected to run only in the high hurdles. In the high hurdles, run at 60 yards, Ward will not meet Ken Sandbach, the Purdue flash who set a new world's record of 7.4 seconds in nos- ing out the big Wolverine last year, because of a leg injury which the Boilermaker star suffered last year. If Sandbach is able to run, he will concentrate in the low hurdley. Ward will be faced in the high hurdles, however, by his sophomore teammate, Bob Osgood, who defeated him two weeks ago in the Big Ten meet in winning the event as Ward finished fifth. In the dash Jesse Owens, world- record holder, will be faced by Sam Stoller, another Wolverine sopho- more, who is conceded an excellent chance of finally gaining an edge over the Buckeye flash. Another dual between Michigan and Ohio State entries is expected in the pole valut when Dave Hunn of Michigan, and Whitey Wonsowitz of Ohio State will renew their rivalry. Both will be out to avenge their de- feat in the Conference meet by Bob Seely, of Illinois, who last week set a new Armour Relays record in the event at 13 feet, 5% inches. In the high jump Vincent Murphy, the sensational Notre Dame jumper, is conceded a decided edge over the rest of the field, although he will be faced by stars including Konrad, Moisio, Michigan's Big Ten title hold- er. Pittsburgh (Kansas) State Teach- ers College, 1934 team champions in the college division, will enter a team in defense of its title. Other brilliant individual stars who are entered include Ray Sears, But- ler's distance ace, and Heye Lamber- tus of Nebraska, who last year estab- lished a world's mark in the 60-yard low hurdles in the phenomenal time of 6.7 seconds. 55 Teams Will Enter Spring Softball Race The schedules for the spring In- tramural sports program are rapidly taking form. Fraternity softball will start immediately after the spring vacation with 55 teams in the race, in- cluding Sigma Nu, defending title- holders. There will be 11 leagues of five teams, each playing every other team in the league once. The league winners will meet in a final tourna- ment. A new feature this year will be two leagues composed entirely of med- ical and dental fraternities. Alpha Kappa Lambda will defend its fraternity tennis title against 48 other houses. Each team is composed of one singles player and two doubles combinations, with the winner of two of the three matches taking the round. Detroit Olympics Win Way Into Hockey Finals Detroit's Olympics, the favorites for the International Hockey League championship, beat Syracuse Thurs- day night in the semi-final playoff 3 to 1, earning the right to meet Lon- don, whose team defeated Cleveland Hoytmen Seek To Bring Home This Trophy Two Home Runs, Hit In Outdoor Practice Game! Gee, Anderson, And Oliverj The Michigan track team will be defending the Governor's Trophy at Indianapolis tonight when thirty-six of the leading colleges and uni- versities in the Mid-West compete in the third annual Butler Indoor Relays. The trophy is awarded to the school scoring the highest number of points, and was won in 1933 by Indiana, and last year by the Wol- verines. Governor McNutt, seen with the cup, will act in the capacity of honorary referee during the 1935 relays. Michigan is favored to repeat its victory of last year. SARDUST BYARE -STARCARTENS A LOT of University students these days are longing for the smell of horse flesh and the rising roar of "They're off." The Detroit track doesn't open until late in May and "Leo's," the downtown bookie, has been closed for several weeks. In other words, Ann Arbor followers of the "sport "of kings" find themselves at an impasse, where they can only read the form charts, evolve systems, and make paper bets... Besides drink- ing beer and trying 4o convince doubters, like me, that horse-racing is the king of sports. * * * I had to laugh at the fellows who, ;shouted about the great "sport" of horse racing on sunny winter afternoons, when they climbed like so many blind moles out of Leo's subterranean den, after losing "two-bucks on a long shot at Bowie." "Maybe cheering thousands at the track get a genuine thrill, but I think that, too, is in direct proportion to the money they have shoved across the counter on Black Helen or Eleanor's Choice. Certainly there can be no great thrill in listening to some illiterate bookmaker drone out the telegraphic account of a race, while you're packed into a dank, smoke-filled cellar with 25 other none-too-clean bettors, un- less, as I say, your thrill is in comput- ing what a two-dollar bet "on the nose" will bring if your hide wins. My contention, which I have fruitlessly tried to inculcate in several system-makers, is 'that any sport from a jumping-bean race to a collegiate football game would be as exciting, or more so, than horse racing if it had the betting element. Of course the ponies do have an- other charm for consistent followers. That is the mass of records available on each horse, extending from before its birth to its last racing start. Every follower imagines himself an expert, so that hot tips and hotter arguments fly whenever two "experts" start "picking 'em" with the various sys- tems they have evolved. The same sort of interest is manifest by some people, however, in major-league baseball. Some of our local experts on Michigan's Varsity trackmen know everything about their favorites that anyone could know about a horse; ex- cept pedigrees. THE evolution of systems is one of the more mystifying forms of self- expression adopted by our local turf fans, most of whom hadn't even seen a race horse before racing came to Detroit last year. A system, in case you didn't know, is a sure-fire way of playing the ponies from day to day and .making a sizeable profit. It is done by finding out how long the hair was on the winning horse's tail in every race at Pimlico last year, then betting on horses having that length of hair, or something else equally ab- surd. Maybe the University librarians didn't know it, but that is why there has been such a demand for newspaper files by ratty-looking individuals during the past few months. Only after looking up results for a decade past can you that he'll be making two thousand a month when he gets out of school with his "perfect system," which takes into account everything from the horse's disposition to the phases of the moon, if he can get someone "to put up twenty bucks to start with." No- banker has yet proferred the money. That is the charm of horse racing, you can win thousands of dollars every day --on paper. And never risk a cent! Tigers Swamp Cards, 12-5, As Sulivan Stars The Detroit Tigers made up for some of the losses suffered at the hands of the St. Louis Cardinals when they defeated the World Champs in an exhibition game at Lakeland, Fla., yesterday afternoon. The Tigers piled up 12 runs to the Cards' five. Joe Sullivan pitched the last four innings for Detroit, holding St. Louis to two hits while his teammates bat- ted themselves in 10 runs. His work overshadowed the work of the Ken- tucky southpay, Clyde Hatter, who started for the Tigers. Daffy Dean began the game for St. Louis but got off to a bad start, al- lowing three hits and two runs in theI first inning. He was replaced by Bill Walker in the fifth, and from here on the Tigers opened up. They made 10 hits, one a home run by Charlie Geh- ringer, during the remainder of the game. While the Tigers were collecting their 16 hits, the Cardinals had to be content with seven, which were well spread over the nine frames. Jo-Jo White proved himself to be a! real threat to the Cards when he smacked out two hits, one of which was a double. The other time he was at bat he drove a long one to the rightj field wall and just missed an extra base hit when Joe Rothrock galloped over and snagged it. The Tiger hitting spree got under way in the sixth with five runs by! Rogell, Morgan, Sullivan, White, and Gehringer. They continued their blasting in the seventh, Walker, Ro- gell, Owen, and Morgan getting singles in quick succession and all four scoring. Share Hurling Burden In 7-Inning Tilt Another day of outdoor pratice, the third in succession, and Michigan batters showed improvement in their: hitting yesterday at Ferry Field as Matt Patanelli. first base candidate, and Kim Williams. sophomore catch- ing prospect, smashed out home runs in a seven-inning practice game be- tween the Varsity and the reserves. John (Lefty) Gee, who held the Var- sity hitless for two innings in Thurs- day's scrimmage, hurled four frames against the reserves, and was going along nicely until e made the mis-' take of pitching Patanelli a fast ball, letter-high. Matt, who is now known to his baseball associates as Zke, swung and drove the ball high and far into right field, past Vic Heyliger and just short of the tennis courts for a cinch home ru. Williams duplicated the feat in the fifth when he replaced Dick Berryman for the Varsity. His first trip to the plate, Williams caught one of Bill Anderson's right hand slants and blasted it out of George Rudness's reach in center field for the second home run of the spring training sea- son. While the Varsity hitting with George Ford leading with three singles, the reserves couldn't do much to either Gee or Capt. Russ Oliver, until the last inning, when a single, an infield hit, and a bunt filled the bases, with one out. Oliver got out of the hole with one run scoring. Fisher called the game after the seventh and had Ron Wolfe serve the ball up to the reserves, while the Varsity remainedon the diamond for fielding practice. John Regecz, George Rudness and Vic Heyliger composed the outfield. George Ford, at third, Jack Teitlebaum, at short, I Clayt Paulson, at second, and Russ Oliver made up what will probably be the infield in the opening game this year. George Ford's swell arm, his ability to cover a lot of ground at the hot corner, and his good batting eye, made him stand out as the best of the in- fielders yesterday. While Williams demonstrated his superiority over the other catchers as a hitter and a receiver he looked bad in throwing down to second. On about a half-dozen chances, Williams nipped only 'one runner. Fisher is still worried about the prospect of baserunners wildly dashing around the bases this season. Theta Xi Defends Track Title April 3 Earl Riskey, Intramural athletic director, announced that plans for the annual interfraternity and indepen- dent track and field meet had been completed and that the meet would be held on the night of April 3 at Yost Field House. Theta Xi is the defending champion in the fraternity competition, having scored 22% points in last year's meet, while the Blue Raiders are scheduled to defend their independent title. Ten events, including the 60-yard dash, the 440-yard dash, the 880-yard run, the mile run, the 65-yard high and low hurdles, the shot put, the broad jump, the high jump, and the pole vault, will be run off. The dead- line for all entries in all events is March 28. With three lettermen returning from last year's team that won five matches and lost but two, the Iowa netters are looking forward to a very successful season. Aside from Captain John Fletcher, Frank Nye, and John Van der Zee, the Hawkeyes have a promising prospect in Ken Cline, Iowa City and Southeastern Iowa singles champion. 14-Year-Old Iedead Disrupts Swim I §ea'f A barefooted 14-year old red- headed girl almost disrupted Var- sity swimming practice yesterday afternoon and caused a certain All-America star no end of embar- rassment when she suddenly ap- peared in the pool gallery after the natatorium had been cleared of women spectators following the preliminaries to the all-city chil- dren's meet. "I forgot my shoes." I'm going in there," she shouted in reply to a hurried warning, and brushed past a male who was attempting ineffectively to protect the swim- ming team's modesty. It still remains a question whether she or the curly-haired southern distance swimmer who was just about to dive in the pool sans apparel was the most sur- prised. Anyway, they both had red faces. Joe Louis To Fight Carnera June 19 Primo Carnera and Joe Louis have been signed for a fifteen round bout I at Yankee Stadium June 19, accord- ing to an announcement made yester-; day afternoon by John Boxborough, manager of the Detroit colored heavy- weight. The show will be staged by the Twentieth Century Club of New York for Mrs. William Randolph Hearst's milk fund. The fight has not yet been officially sanctioned by the New York State athletic commission, but there is little doubt that the boigt will be opposed or that the date will be al- tered when the commission allocates its outdoor dates next month. FASTEST 220 MAN? Coach Dean Cromwell of Southern California, who developed Charlie Paddock and Frank Wycoff, predicts that George Anderson of the Univer- sity of California will be the fastest 220 yard runner in history. l 'is :"" :zry17ipk' s respo"nse on if ,x .of the sqiadi's going outdoors .o quoIi:e concerning the style of ball ih i an will be expected to :how in the fall- If' ill Renn ;t' is all in one piece 'nd Is ern 1s whiping out passes I I ('d1a2mO -f whipping them ;t, Metiga'nr will display a wide- SAln tyj _of play replete with later- als teal' ,passes and long forwards it i Vlatcrals at the end of them. Con- t rary to a current conjecture, there will be no great shifting away from the old "Michigan system," although the pass will be more obvious and the prayer less so than last season. Should the Maize and Blue cap- tain fail to avoid his injury jinx and not be available, Kipke expects to build upon what he has in stock. At present, he has Renner in good shape and is basing his present action on Renner remaining that way. iAs would be expected, the big worry right now is the development of a center, since Jerry Ford and Russ Fuog will graduate in June. Only one letterman, Bob Amrine, will return for that position. Amrine's experience is limited and moreover he is not in school this semester and will miss spring practice. Kipke has an- nounced he is looking forward to working Harry 'Tiny' Wright, a tackle last year, at that position. With his 230-odd pounds Wright would be an asset at the position if he is able to move about as the position requires. Other possibilities are Tom Olyer, Joe Rinaldi, and George Shakarion. Ed Greenwald, a 210-pound freshman tackle, has been working out occas- ionally in the position as well. Next in Kipke's worries seem to be guards, with a distinct shortage in material for that position. George Marzonie, a freshman and an All- State guard from Flint Northern, ap- :;irng can in sn other position. However, three lcttermen guards have not as yet appeared for prac- tice. Bud Hanshue is sufiering an injury, Harold Sears is shot-putting, and Frank Bissell is wrestling in the national meet. Frank Lett, who worked at end last year, has been shifted to work at a guard, while three freshmen, Fred Ziem, Walter Lillie and John Heering, also have been used. It has been a question since last fall who would take Johnny Regeczi's place in the kicking department, and it now seems that most of the possi- bility is in the freshman backs and Cedric Sweet, last year's fullback. The latter did not do much booting while Regeezi was in shape and what he can do will have to be seen in the fall for his studies are keeping him too busy to spare the time for spring work. Of the freshman, Norm Nickerson, Uni- versity of Detroit High lad, rates top in Kipke's estimation. He has been sending up long spirals the length of the Field House. Art Leadbetter, another frosh from Belleville, N. J., has been getting off some good look- ing punts. Stark Ritchie of Battle Creek, and John Smithers of Elkhart, Ind., are two more possibilities. Johnny Veigever, although out of school now, will be back for the 1935 campaign and is the lone veteran tackle. However, Ed Greenwald is a strong contender for the other posi- tion on the team, according to Kipke. Bob Schroeder, a frosh Phys Ed, has been called repeatedly to fill the other position in the signal drill. The squad will definitely move out- doors on Monday afternoon and only a burst of exceptionally bad weath- er will keep it inside. Long skull practices and chalk talks inside are the alternatives in event of bad weather. Srv'e Of Footall Play In Fall DepeWiIs On Players, Says Kipke By EARLE V.

Where will it be this year? That's a decision that is always hard to make. Wherever it is, though, make sure of one thing- that your travel funds are in a safe, convenient form. We recommend Your boy curled up in a chair, reading a book, gives little thought to his eyes. He does not consider whether the light is good or bad or whether he has proper illumination on the page. Although he may be straining his vision, although he may be permanently injuring eyesight, it is almost certain that he will do nothing about it, because children do not think of these things. That is a concern of PARENTS! There are 5 rules by which you may secure good lighting in your home. They are simple and easily followed. First, use correct size lamp bulbs-"WATTS." In table and floor lamps with three sockets, use 40 watts in each socket; with two sockets, 60 watts; with one socket, 100 watts. Second, have at least one-tenth as much light in the rest of the room as you have on your book, newspaper, sewing, etc. Third, use SHADES on all lamp bulbs to prevent GLARE. Fourth, use shades with light-colored linings to get the mast light. Fifth, have enough lighting fixtures or portable lamps to insure the proper intensity of light throughout the room.
