THE MICHIGAN DAILY Chicago Michigan, With Only2 Points, Is Far Behind Trevor Weiss, Maroon's A e e, Meets Gopher's 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. Little Reaches Final Round In Amateur Play ST. ANNE'S-ON-THE-SEA, Eng., May 24. - (P) - Striding down Eng- land's fairways like a titanbludgeon- ing his opponents into submission with methodical ease, twenty-four- year-old William Lawson Little, Jr., of San Francisco, today moved within a single step of his second straight British amateur golf title and his third consecutive National crown, Standing in the path of the all- conquering American, who will be striving to emulate the "doubles" scored in 1886 and 1887 by.H. G. Hut- chinson and in 1900 and 1901 by Har- 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- ant thirty-eight-year-old English- man. Dr. Tweddell, who captained the British Walker Cup team which made an unsuccessful invasion of the Unit- ed States in 1928, won the British championship eight years ago at Hoy- lake when the field was freighted with the great Bobby Jones or other American contenders. In the opinion of spectators who are offering 3 to 1 against his chnces, Dr. Tweddell is a lamb being tossed into a lion in tomorrow's 36-hole championship round.

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 Summaries Of P relimin aries 120-yard high hurdles (six to qual- ify for finals): First heat: Won by Dan Caldemeyer (Ind.); second, Ken Sandbach (P.U.).

Time, 1:56.9. 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. Other scores: American League St. Louis 6, New York 3.

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.

The Chi Psi fielders are probably not as steady as Phi Psi's, but turn in some brilliant plays. I Have Evenly Matched Hitters 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 In the Chi Psi hurlers, Phi Psi will 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 were runner-ups last year.
