DAY, FEBRUARY 20,;1935 THE MICHIGAN DAILY Griffin DefaultsIn Handball Meet; Last U. Of M. Man Beaten Bill Bates Falls In Three Hard Fought Games' George McCarthy Downs Roland Smith With Best Play Of Tournament By ROBERT CUMMINS Bill Bates, the final University rep- resentative in the State A.A.U. hand- ball tournament, was eliminated in a bitterly fought match with the vet- eran Chet York, Detroit, last night on the Intramural courts. The score was 17-21, 21-20, 21-20. Bates had the match almost within his grasp in the second game. With the score 20-all, the service changed four times before York finally came through to win. York had an equally difficult time in the deciding game. The default of Joe Griffin, Detroit city champion and generally held the favorite, changed the complexion of the whole tournament, making it a wide-open affair. George McCarthy, Detroit Police Department, showed the best hand- ball of the tournament in his win over Roland Smith, 21-16, 21-17, 21- 9, and is probably the greatest threat remaining, Good Shotmaker A beautiful shotmaker, he made practically no mistakes in overcom- ing the steady, machine-like Smith. In the final game he ran up a 6-0 lead then held Smith even for most of the match, only to spurt again at the end with unbeatable play to win de- cisively. The veteran Herman Dworman, Detroit Y.MV.C.A., again advanced with an easy victory, defeating John McGrohen, K. of C., 21-9, 21-4. Dwor- man will probably meet a much more formidable opponent tonight in John Gustomski, winner last night over Nat Miller, "Y", 21-19, 12-21, 21-8. In other matches the highly-rated Al Schaufelberger won by default from Joe Appelt, representing the Grand Rapids Y.M.C.A., Louis Zerbo defeated Ed Meisel, 21-11, 21-13, and Larry Dowd, K. of C., downed Jim Dunleavy of the same club, 21- 14. 19-21, 21-16. Tonight's matches: Zerbo vs. Bres- cell, 8:30; York vs. McCarthy, 7:30; Schaufelberger vs. Dowd, 7:30; and Gustomski vs. Dworman, 8:30.

Austin Rises As Likely WOMEN'S SPORTS The interclass basketball tourna- ment is getting under way, with those girls who distinguished themselves during the Intramural contests given special invitations to participate. Ac- cording to Elizabeth Oberdier, '37Ed., anyone interested in playing should come out, as several places are still open. In order to try out for a class team an invitation is -not necessary. On Monday the University played University High School in badminton. Three sepatale teams participated. In the first match Jane Quirk and Ger- trude Morris, representing the Univer- sity, defeated Barbara Kanous and Mary Eyntema, 15-10, 15-6. Jean Willis and Eleanor Breer lost to Louise Lockman and Louise Paine of the University, 15-1, 15-2. In the third match Mary Tossy and Lavina Creighton played for the Uni- versity, defeating Charlotte Clay and Betty Robinson, 15-2, 15-1. Any- one interested in the doubles badmin- ton tournament should sign up at Barbour gym at once. Independents Begin Handball . Tourney Play in the independent handball tournament has gotten under way at the Intramural Building. Each team -is composed of four men: two singles and one doubles team. The Hilltoppers won last year's tournament which saw 20 teams par- ticipating. The Blue Raiders were runners-up. Ernie Smith, member of the Intra- mural staff, was victorious in both the matches he played in the West- ern Association squash tournament played between semesters. The three- man team of which he was a member was eliminated in thesemi-finals, however. In the semi-finals of the state tournament, Smith was defeated by Hall Smith. The finals of the faculty handball doubles tournament will see the team of Espelie and Ralph Smith opposing the winner of the Thielke-A.W.
