TUESDAY, MAY 7, 1935 THE MICHIGAN DAILY FAQ E T Em Grid men Await Presenting Of Alumni Trophy Active Work Concluded; Four Are Outstanding For Chicago Award All active work cocluded with the annual game between the Blues and the Yellows Saturday, nothing re- mains for Coach Harry Kipke's Mich- igan gridders until next fall but to await the awarding of the Chicago Alumni Trophy, given every spring to an outstanding freshman player. The trophy, the winner of which will be announced Wednesday night, has been awarded every year since 1924, Ray Baer, All-Conference guard in 1926, being the first winner. The award is based on the showing made by the candidate in the annual spring game, his attendence in prac- tice sessions, his ability to learn the Michigan system quickly and well, and application to his work. Four Stand Out George Ghesquire, Grosse Pointe end prospect, Stark Richie, John Smithers, and Bob Cooper, all back- field men, seem to be the outstanding candidates for the trophy this year. Saturday's game brought forth some outstanding performances, witY the above-mentioned four all taking an important part in the day's pro- ceedings. Ghesquire was the standout in the play of both lines. He ,was riding the interference, making tackles be- hind the line, covering punts very well, and showing an uncanny ability to nab passes and make gains wit ahem or top them off with an accu- rate lateral to a teammate. Chet Stabowitz, junior flankman, colla- borated with his freshman teammate to give plenty of indications that Mat Patanelli and Mike Savage are going to have a great deal of competitio for the wing positions on next fall' Varsity. Cooper Versatile Cooper, Smithers, and Ritchie were among the busiest players on the fiell Saturday. The latter stood out fa above his Yellow teammates with hi consistent play in all departments, while Cooper exhibited the versatil- ity that has established him as one of the outstanding prospects of re- cent years. Captain Bill Renner showed that he is still the old maestro of the for- ward pass. His tosses played an in- tegral part in scoring four of the five Blue touchdowns. ' Harry Wright was a power in the Blue line and seems to have practical- ly cinched the center position for next fall. Earle Luby, Mel Kramer, George Marzonie, and Fred Olds are yearlings who performed well in the line. Idle White Sox Climb To Top Of Junior Loop CLEVELAND, May 6. - (V) - Fred Ostermuller outpointed Oral Hilde- brand in a mound duel today as the Boston Red Sox toppled the Cleve- land Indians from first place in the American League with a 2 to 1 victory. The White Sox, which were rained Open rTrials Take Fischer From Tea n Johnny Fischer, who was forced out of the dual golf meet with Ohio State last Saturday by a recurrence of the back injury which compelled him to drop out of the Intercollegiates two years ago, will not play against Illinois at Urbana this Saturday as was erroneously stated in several pa- pers. Instead Fischer will journey to his home in Cincinnati to attempt to qualify for the National Open., Johnny is confident the back in- jury will be sufficiently improved1 to allow him a good chance of qualifying, which of course must be done in his own district. Trackmen Gird For Impending 09.S..Battle Revival Of Ward-Owens Rivalry Seen As Ward Works, OutAgain After inflicting the worst defeat a major track team has ever received here, Michigan's team turned yester- day to the Ohio State dual meet here next Saturday following its 105-21 win from Minnesota. Michigan defeated Ohio State here during the indoor season before the largest crowd ever to see a dual meet indoors in the Middle West in what is generally considered the best meet ever held between two Conference seams indoors. The indoor meet was featured by the meeting of Willis Ward, Mich- igan's stellar star, and Jesse Owens, latest "fastest human." In the in- door meet Ward twice defeated the Buckeye sophomore sensation, in the 60-yard dash and in the high hurdles. Owens was the winner of the low hurdles event by the closest of mar- gins. With Ward believed recovered from his leg injury, met at the Penn Re- leys, their duel is expected to be re- newed outdoors. Ward took his first workout yesterday following his in- jury and reported that he would un- doubtedly be in condition for Satur- day's meet. The two will meet in but two events, the 100-yard dash and the broad jump, as Owens will not be entered in the high hurdles outdoors. Owens has a best time of 9.5 seconds out- doors in the hundred, made at the Drake Relays. He also has set an American record in the broad jump during the current season, jumping 26 feet, 12 inches, also at the Drake Relays. With Ward returned to condition and with best field and track condi- tions, record performances are possi- bilities in both events. Ward will al- so be entered in the high jump, be- sides the dash, high hurdles and broad jump, and in the shot put. Yearling Trackmen Are Entered In Relay Meet The freshman track team will com- pete in th Wconsin freshman tele- graphic r ymeet to be conducted during this week. The teams en- tered will run off their relay events this week and send in their times to the Wisconsin officials who in turn will pick the winners from the best times recorded. Anderson Gets No. I1Position In Net Shakeup Coach Johnstone Drops Team Captain Following Poor Showing Seymour Siegel of Grand Rapids, captain and No. 1 player, has been indefinitely suspended from the Michigan tennis team by Coach John Johnstone. A series of events cul- minating in a poor showing in Big Ten competition at Chicago last week-end led to the decision to drop Siegel from active service on the squad. Bob Anderson, wno has been ranked as the No. 2 player of the Maize and Blue this year so far, will take over the responsibilities of the top ranking, vacated by Siegel. Anderson defeated the captain in ranking matches at the beginning of the season, but by virtue of his standing in the Confer- ence Siegel held his place at the head of the Michigan racqueteers. Howie Kahn, who has been play- ing No. 4 because a leg injury has kept him back below his usual form, performed so splendidly against Min- nesota and Chicago that Coach John Johnstone has decided to push him up to the No. 2 post. Jarvis Dean and Johnny Rodriguez will fill out the top half of the team as No. 3 and No. 4 players. The shakeup breaks up Johnstone's top doubles combination of Ander- son and Siegel, but the coach feels that a more successful team can be found by teaming Anderson with either Dean or Rodriguez. What the order for the rest of his players will be remains to be fixed by showings during the week's prac- tice. Whether the change is to be a per- manent one will depend entirely on Siegel, according to Coach John- stone. "He has not played up to form at any time this season, and his fail- ure to practice regularly and adhere to training rules demonstrates his lack of interest in the team," John- stone said. "It is very doubtful that he will regain a position on the team, although he will remain as acting captain." Coach Johnstone feels that Siegel has received as much consideration as he is entitled to this year. It was due to his ranking in the Conference net circles that he was kept at the top of the Maize and Blue squad, although his play in ranking matches would have placed him at an inferior post, Johnstone said. Fisher Fears 2-Game Series With Buckeyes Michigan Nine Must Beat Bucks Twice This Week To Stay InFlag Race Michigan's Big Ten title hopes in the field of baseball are low, as a re- sult of losing to Illinois 1 to 0 Satur- day, but the club still has a mathe-' matical chance. Whether this chance will be worth a nickel after the two- game series with Ohio State here Fri- day and Saturday, is another mat- ter, however, and one that has Coach Ray Fisher worried. Fisher fears the Buckeyes more than the Illini. He considers the chance that Michigan will defeat Ohio State two games in a row is less than the chance that Michigan will defeat Illinois in a return game at I Champaign. The Buckeyes have al- ways been a tough club to beat twice in two days and the Wolverines can't afford to lose another game if they expect to remain in the race. Mich- igan split even in the series at Col- umbus. Commenting on Saturday's pitch- ing duel, Fisher gave credit to Hale Swanson as one of the smartest Big Ten hurlers as he has been privileged to watch, and indicated that Berger Larson didn't do badly either, al- though he was not as good as he has been in past games. Larson didn't have good control and was required to pull himself out of bad holes on several occasions to keep runs from scoring. Larson's curve ball was working all right, but was being wasted by lack of control, all of which the Illinois batters got on to and so began waiting for the "alley ball." Despite this handicap, Larson was not hit hard; the three singles bunched in the sixth were not of the clean variety. Michigan leaves for Toledo this af- ternoon for a scheduled night game with Toledo University to be played under the arc lights on the ToledoI Mudhens' field. Art Patchin, whose arm is in good shape again, George Butler, and John Gee will take turns on the mound. TO AWARD- TROPHY All football candidates, includ- ing those who have not been out for Spring Practice, are asked to be at a meeting at the Union at 8 p.m. Wednesday. Meyer Mor- ton of Chicago and will award the Chicago Alumni Trophy at that time. STAR DUST _A I BY ARr CARSTE NS 7 i -r~ w N J THE CURRENT QUESTION beforet the Amalgamated Associaticn ofN Sports Writers and Sports Corre-t spondents, Ann Arbor Branch is not1 whether Michigan will win the Big Ten track or baseball titles, but whether the scribes will have a press box from which to cover the Confer- ence track meet here May 24 and 25.t And for that reason, Fielding Y.E Yost, known variously as Athletic Di-( rector, "The Old Man," and etc., is; about the most unpopular gentleman in the world with five or six usuallyt mild-tempered scribes. Mr. Yost is the individual who controls most of the purse strings of the athletic asso- ciation, apparently, and he cannot seet spending a few hundred dollars tot erect a wooden shed atop the South Stands for the use of such scribesj as will be assigned to cover the meet.I As one reputable local writer puts it, "'The Old Man' doesn't care if we have to send our stories out by pony express and dodgeflying 'av- elins and discuses all afternoon." They all hint darkly that Yost would give his life's-blood for the support of the University golf course but not a nickel for track -regardless of the fact that he took a trip to the coast with the tracksters, presumably on their budget. A month ago, after considerable subterranean pressure was brought to bear, Yost promised the boys that the much-desired wooden shed would be erected in plenty of time for the Ohio State-Michigan dual meet this weekend. Last week one of the writers cas- ually mentioned to to Yost that he'd better "put the B and G boys to work on that press box pretty soon." Yost, it is said, looked a little startled, and said, "Oh, wa-a-a-a-1, we decided not to build that this year." The recipient of the glad tidings clutched longingly at the heavy ink- well on the desk, considering its lethal possibilities, but thought better of his act, and watched Yost stalk majes- tically out of the office. Heretofore the practice in covering track meets has been to give the scribes a table in the middle of the field. The chief objection to that idea, outside of the danger to life and that set-up, to get fast wire service with bulletins for the early editions of the Sunday papers which are printed late Saturday afternoon. ** * IF JESSE OWENS breaks any world records, as he is likely to, two- thirds of the Sunday newspaper read- ers won't know about it, simply be- cause of the time necessary to get the story from the field to an uptown of- fice by messenger boy. With only messenger service available .it is im- possible to send a decent running story. Any student of publicity is aware that a close dual meet here Saturday, between two leading contenders forl the Conference title, with a few new records thrown in, would be the best build-up in the world for the Big Ten meet. We are not asking any unusual privileges. A press box was always available for the scribes when the meet was held in Chicago. I, personally, have no consuming interest in the whole matter, for by, May 24 and 25 a successor will have taken my place here. However, I would hate to have outside sports writers, coming to Ann Arbor for the meet, remark, as they have often done in the past about accommo- dations at football games, on how "tight" the University is in compar- ison with other Big Ten schools.
