Schommer In Finals
EVANSTON, Ill., May 24. - () -
Sweeping through today's singles and
doubles competition without the loss
of a match, Coach A. A. Stagg, Jr.'s
University of Chicago tennis team
clinched its fourth straight Big Ten
championship and placed its num-
ber one man, Trevor Weiss, in to-
niorrow's title singles final against
Bill Schommer of Minnesota.
With six matches left to be played
tomorrow on the courts of Northwest-
ern University, the Maroons cannot
lose the team title, even should they
drop all five of their matches and
Minnesota, runner-up in the stand-
ings at the end of today's play, sweep
its remaining three.
The Chicago team total stood at 10
points after this afternoon's play.
with the Gophers trailing in second
place with 7. Northwestern, victim
in two surprising upsets, was tied with
Illinois for third place, each team
having four points. Standings on
the other four schools are as follows:
Iowa and Ohio State three each,
Michigan two, and Wisconsin one.
Purdue and Indiana are not repre-
sented.
The elimination of George Ball.
Northwestern's crack sophomore, by
Weiss from the championship singles
bracket and the downfall of the Ball
brothers, favorites for the doubles
crown, in the semi-final match with
Bill Chambers and Bob Neihousen of
Ohio State, were the highlights in to-
day's play.

old H. Hilton, both Britons and the
the only players in the history of the
championship to turn the trick, was
Dr. William Tweddell, a stocky, pleas-

Dr. Tweddell, who captained the
British Walker Cup team which made
an unsuccessful invasion of the Unit-

Dr. Tweddell is a lamb being tossed

Throughout the 1934 and 1935 sea-
sons, track experts predicted a bril-
liant future for the Big Ten by vir-
tue cf the performances of its soph-
omores in the dual meets. Now,
with the year almost completed and!
the whole group of second-year men
gathered together on one track, fans
are beginning to realize that the
prognosticators underestimated these
runners' worth instead of following
their usual trend and exaggerating.
The Western Conference has two
of its most brilliant years ahead of
it as far as track is concerned, and

when the time comes for the Olympic
tryouts, these men, who will be hit-
ting their peak in that season. appear
destined to dominate the field.
Owens Needs No Comment
Jesse Owens calls for little com-
ments.- He is undoubtedly the
"world's fastest human" today. His
effortless running had spectators
gasping yesterday and his playful
"galloping" over the low hurdles and
still winning with ease merely ex-
hibited once more his superiority
over his competition.
The national cross-country title-
holder, Don Lash, will make his first
appearance in a Big Ten outdoor
meet today and the experts say that
here again there is an opportunity
to see a real champ in action. Lash
has encountered trouble in the dis-
tance events only rarely, and then
mostly from Ray Sears, Butler
senior.
Michigan Has Several
Michigan has more than its share
of sophomore stars. Bob Osgood,
Stan Birleson, Clayton Brelsford,
Sam Stoller, Howard Davidson, Fred
Stiles, and Walt Stone make up an
impressive list, which, while it con-
tains no outstanding individual star
to compare with Owens. is so well
balanced that it may prove more
valuable as far as team scores go
than the stars would be.
Bob Grieve's wins in his 220 and
100 qualification heats prove that
though obscured by ineligibility in
the early part of the season, he will
get his share of the spotlight in the
remainder of his college career.
Iowa Has Sprint Stars
Iowa's strength in the short races
is largely due to the sophomores onl
the team. Jimmy Owen attracted
attention early this year with his
record-breaking running indoors.
Now Gene Skinner, Andy Dooley,
Carl Nelson, and Clyde Briggs, mak-
ing up one of the fastest relay teams
in the country, are proving their
worth in the 440-yard run and the
220-yard dash. This quartet may
develop into one of the best that the
nation has ever.seen.
Charles Beetham, Ohio State's j
flashy half miler, has shown up well
in his last few meets, boasting the
fastest 880 in the Conference so far
and running an impressive 1:56.9 1
yesterday. These performances stamp'
him as the man to fill the gap left
by Chuck Hornbostel. Mel Walker
is another of the Buckeye's promis-
ing second year men.
Heg Is Wildcat Ace
Wisconsin also has several run-
ners making their Big Ten meet de-
but who have shown promise. Ed
Christianson in the weights and
Jack Kellner in the high hurdles both
did well in the heats and should go
far.
Sunny Heg, Northwestern's ace
440 runner, although in his first
year of Big Ten comtpetition, is not
a sophomore.
I-M Soorts
Dan Caldenmeyer, Indiana hurd-
ler, scored an upset in the prelim-
inaries of 'the Big Ten track meet
yesterday by defeating Ken Sand-
bach, of Purdue, defending champ-
ion, in the 120-yard high hurdles.
Tirers Beaten
By Grove, 8-4;
DropTo Fifth
Although they outhit Boston, 14 to
12, the Detroit Tigers were defeated
by Lefty Grove and the Red Sox,
8-4, yesterday, and tumbled out of
fourth place, the Red Sox supplant-
ing them.
Poor base-running and poor head-
work were largely responsible for the
Detroit defeat. Tee Tigers lost runs
and presented the Red Sox with runs
by that method.
The defeat was the second for De-
troit out of the eight games they
have played thus far on the Eastern
invasion. Crowder started the game,
but was relieved by Marberry during
a two-run Boston uprising in the
sixth inning.
Detroit jumped off to an early lead
with one run in the first inning, but
it was not until the ninth that they
scored again. The belated three-
run rally was not enough. Pete Fox
continued his good hitting with two
doubles. Gehringer was close be'
hind with three singles.
Detroit can rise. to a tie for third
place by defeating the Red Sox to-
morrow, providing St. Louis repeats
today's triumph over the Yankees.

When Chi Psi meets Phi Kappa
Psi in the final game of the fratern-
ity softball playoffs at 5:15 p.m. Mon-
day, a new softball champion will
be crowned to take the place of Sig-
ma Nu.
For the last three years Sigma Nu,
led by the invincible "Zit" Tessmer,
rode rough shod over all opposition, I
but has failed. to repeat this yearI
without the services of Tessmer, who
is now an assistant coach at Hills-
dale College.
No One To Replace Tessmer
Strangely enought, no great hurler
has been discovered this year to take
the place of Tessmer. Chi Psi uses
three pitchers of about equal merit
while Phi Psi relies mainly upon the
ability of their fielders.
Phi Kappa Psi has won most of its
games by batting in more runs than
the opposing team, and the team that
beats them will have to find someI
way of silencing the bats of Dave
Barnett, Carl Hilty, Bill Griffiths, and
Derwood Harris, all of whom are very
dangerous hitters. Phi Psi has prob-
ably the best fielding aggregation in
the TLcao-no 'T'hev have nasteady.

The two teams are seemingly even-$
ly matched in hitting power and '
fielding and the outcome of the game
will probaly depend on the pitching.1

meet pitching such as they have only
faced once this year, and that one
taste of good hurling, furnished by
George Andros, was almost too much
for them. Just three jolly good
