TUESDAY, MAY 28,1935 THE MICHIGAN DAILY Coach Hoyt Picks 25 Men As Recipients Of Varsity Title-Winning Track Team Is Given Awards Meet For Title Tonight At Polo Grounds Six Seniors And Neree Alix Have Completed College Competition Twenty-five members of the Mich- igan track team, which made a clean sweep of the Big Ten, winning both the outdoor and indoor titles, were awarded letters, yesterday and three others were given numeral sweaters. Those given letters are: Frank W. Aikens, Neree D. Alix, Martin M. Alexander, Stanley R. Birleson, Clay- ton E. Brelsford, Howard R. Davidson, Nelson R. Droulard, E. Widmer Etch- els, Paul J. Gorman, Roderic B. How- ell, David S. Hunn, Robert J. Kosit- chek, Konrad Moisio, Winston C. Moore, Harry E. O'Connell, Robert D. Osgood, Harvey W. Patton, Paul W. Pinkerton, Michael Savage, Captain Harvey Smith, Frederick C. Stiles, Sam Stoller, Edward Adam Stone, Walter B. Stone, and Willis Ward. Numeral winners are Chester D. Barnes, Moreau Hunt, and Melvin Silverman. Neree Alix Through Only six of this group are seniors although Neree Alix may be added for he never will run again because of the injury that he received in the California meet. Ward, Smith, How- ell, Kositchek, Moisio, and Moore are the six who have ended their Michi- gan track careers, although a few of them may appear in the Nationals. With the regular season closed 11 men have turned in qualifying per- formances for the National track and field meet which is scheduled for June 21 and 22 at the University of Cal- ifornia. They are Ward, Stoller, Os- good, Birleson, Davidson, Aikens, Gorman, Smith, Etchells, and Walt Stone. The rules committee of the National Collegiate Athletic Associ- ation will consider those men who are eligible and well select the more con- sistently good performers to run in the championships. Five May Compete Of the Michigan group, five have an excellent chance to receive invita- tions.. Willis Ward, by virtue of his broad jumping and high jumping ability, Captain Smith, Etchells, Stol- ler, and Walt Stone all did well in the Big Ten meet placing third or better in their events. Other Confer- ence men who were first or second or even third in the faster events also will probably be picked by the com- mittee. The number which can be invited, with expenses paid is limited by the fund which covers this ex- pense. This year it is $12,500. The qualifying times are: 100-yard dash, i9.8; 220-yard dash, :21.3; 440- yard run, :48.9; 880-yard run, 1:56.0; mile run, 4:22.0; two mile run, 9':40.0; 120-yard high hurdles, :14.9; 220-yard low hurdles, :23.8; high jump, 6 feet 4 inches; broad jump, 24 feet; pole vault, 13 feet 6 inches; shot put, 48 feet 6 inches; discus throw, 150 feet; javelin throw, 200 feet; and the ham- mer throw, which is not inclued in the Conference events, 150 feet. 31 'M' Blankets To Honor Michigan's Graduating. Stars Thirty-one senior athletes, most of whom played a large part in bring- ing to Michigan six championships during the past semester, will receive the traditional "M" blankets, award- ed each year to fourth year men who have won at least two letters in a single sport. Among the recipients of the awards are many truly great athletes, men who have been among the best in the nation in their field. There is Willis Ward, one of Michigan's outstanding all-around track and football stars of all time; Taylor Drysdale, three times National Collegiate champion in the backstroke; Johnny Fischer, three times Big Ten golf champion and once National tnercollegiatte titleholder; Johnny Sherf, the great- esC'of Michigan's hockey greats; and Russ Oliver, the fourth nine-letter man in Michigan history. The others who will receive blankets and whose accomplishments could be listed by the scores are: Johnny Re- geczi, Tom Austin, Chet Beard, Bill Borgmann, Ogden Dalrymple, Jerry Ford, Russ Fuog, Jack Harrod, Will Hildebrand, Rod Howel, Tage Jacob- son, Johnny Jewell, Bob Kositchek, Don MacCollum, Cal Markham, Kon' Moisio, Art Patchin, Clay Paulson, Al Plummer, Bob Renner, Sam Rubin, Dana Seeley, Sam Siegel, Harvey Smith, Carroll Sweet, and Jack Teitel- baum.

The Wolverines' Big Ten season ended Friday as the nine split a double header with Wisconsin after Johnny Gee had tamed Northwestern's Wild- cats the day before, 6-2, giving only three hits and striking out 15. West- ern State defeated the Varsity, 8-4, in the other game of the road trip. 1 i -Associated Press Photo. The experts are having a hard time picking the probable winner in the welterweight championship bout tonight at the New York Polo Grounds when Jimmy McLarnin (left) will defend his title against Barney Ross (right) in a 15-round engagement. Ross, retired light- weight champion, was beaten by Jimmy in their last clash for the 145- pound crown. Both are veteran campaigners, Ross getting his start as a Golden Gloves Champion. The HOT STOVE _ - - - By BILL REED For a great many years I have their coach who could instill it in heard of "the Michigan Spirit" and have held a sort of holy reverence for it, although I have never seen in print a definition of it. Now, I do not intend to attempt such a definition today, for it is of course impossible of defi- nition, but I believe that every one of the 10,000 people who saw Michi- gan win the Conference track meet Saturday saw that spirit incarnate in the boys who came through when it counted, in their most important meet of the year. There was Harvey Patton, jostled about in the mob in the 440 and Stan Birleson, both running the best races of their careers, Frank Aikens fight- ing to a place in the half-mile, Cap- tain Smith and Clayt .Brelsford, both runningbetter than they ever did in their lives to place in the mile, Sam. Stoller in the broad jump and dash, Mike Savage in the discus, and Walt Stone, making up 60 yards in the' last 300 to beat the man who had twice won from him in the two mile. There was Skip Etchells throwing the discus seven feet beyond the best throw of his career after the defend- ing champion had tossed a defiant challenge at the field, Bob Kositchek, rising to place third in the javelin the fighting relay team which showed Michigan's all-around superiority by setting a record when all it had to do was place, and then there was Willis Ward. I felt sorry for Ward on Friday when he failed to qualify in the hur- dles because I thought I knew how much that meet meant to him, and I felt actually blue when he scratched in the hundred, but when he came back to make the best jump of his career to cinch second in the broad jump - well, it just isn't in the books to feel sorry for men like that. In short, they had the spirit, and Michigan can be proud of a team like that. And it is no small tribute to Phi Psis Win Softball Crown From Chi Psis Phi Kappa Psi defeated Chi Psi, 11-6, yesterday, behind the steady pitching of Gard Slocum to win the fraternity softball championship. Slocum struck out only two men but kept the hits well distributed, and forced the Chi Psi sluggers to pop out when there were men on base. Bill Griffths brought in three runs for the winners with three hits; and Dick Evans, the losing pitcher, hit a home run with nobody on base. With two men out in the sixth inning, Chi Psi started a rally and made three hits in a row. them. * * * Hero of a day which will live for- ever, Jesse Owens remains just a swell fellow and even a bit bewildered him- self. Besieged by admirers so that he1 had to dress in his shower, on the street after the meet Owens no more gave the impression that he had just performed the mightiest individual bit of record smashing in the history of the sport than this typewriter. No one in the world can begrudge the 21-year-old sophomore his laurels., * * * The remarkable smoothness with' which the Conference track meet was' run off and which received such un- qualified approval is a tribute to the managerial abilities of Ken Doherty, Michigan's freshman coach. Doherty had complete charge of arrangements for the meet and is completely re- sponsible for its unquestioned success.- * * * And speaking of tributes, as we seem to be doing, the three-hit victory of John Gee over Northwestern on Friday is a tribute to the patience and ability of Ray Fisher. Taking charge of Gee as a completely unschooled freshman, Fisher appears to have de- veloped a highly promising hurler. And don't think that that win Friday won't help Michigan's basketball chances next winter! * * * Running the watch is just part of timing world's records, according to Phil Diamond, who was head timer Saturday. He spent a considerable part of yesterday afternoon signing affidavits. Surveyors are to measure the Ferry Field track today to put an official stamp upon the distance in the claims for Owens' marks. h. ~-~--~-~~~~__ ___ The same lineup that has started in most of Michigan's games this year will take the field against the strong Spartan nine today. With the best team it has had in years, Mich- igan State has mowed down its oppo- sition regularly. Five End Careers Five regulars on the Varsity nine will play their final home game to- day. The whole infield -George Ford, Jack Teitelbaum, Clayt Paul- son, and Capt. Russ Oliver - and John Regeczi, left fielder, graduate this June. Two victories in the three Confer- ence road games gave Michigan a 1935 Big Ten record of six won and five lost. Despite home runs by Regeczi (his third of the year) and Teitelbaun, Western State outhit Michigan in winning. Earl Meyers, making his first start, was in a hole much of the time, and it was then that the Hilltoppers got the hits that counted. In addition to his home run, Teitel- baum hit harder than anyone on the trip. Sensational fielding plays robbed him of several safe blows. Wildcats Praise Gee Northwestern players said that the fast ball Johnny Gee showed in de- feating them was "the fastest they had seen all year." Gee also had surprisingly good control during his surprising performance. Northwest- ern errors helped Michigan in win- ning, however. On the other hand, Michigan errors were largely responsible for their de- feat in the morning game against Wisconsin Saturday. After losing this game, 6-3, the Wolverines came back in the afternoon to down the Bad- gers, 13-7, and finish the Conference season with an average above .500. Seven Men Awarded Frosh Golf Numerals A seven-man yearling squad of Michigan golfers, all of whom have averaged under 78, and two of whom have been playing par golf, was characterized by Prof. Thomas C. Trueblood, coach, as the great- est freshmen golf team ever to represent Michigan when he an- nounced the numeral awards yes- terday. The reason that Michigan draws so many outstanding golfers was ascribed by Prof. Trueblood to the fact that it has the finest course in the Conference. Minnesota, Ohio State, Wiscon- sin, and Illinois must all travel six miles to get to a "standard" links, while Northwestern and Chicago are more than 20 miles from the courses which they use for play. In the Big Ten only Iowa, Indiana, Purdue, and Michigan have their own courses. Prof. Trueblood can see no time on the very near horizon when the Wolverines will not be supplied with a galaxy of good golfers. The seven men to whom nu- merals were awarded are: John Cameron, Detroit; Alfred Karpin- ski, Rochester, New York; William Barclay, Flint; William Warren, Detroit ;Walker Graham, Detroit; John K. Mooney, Marion, Ind.; and Arthur Harwood, Toledo, Ohio. Tigers And Rowe Bow To Yanks, 3-:1 NEW YORK, May 27. - (A,) - Johnny Allen's three-hit pitching proved too much for Schoolboy Rowe and the Tigers here today, and the ex-pride of Eldorado was forced to take his first defeat from the Yan- kees, 3 to 1.. Detroit scored its lone run in the ninth on Morgan's pinch double, La4- zeri's error on Cochrane's grounder, and Gehringer's line drive to Chap- man. Besides Morgan's hit, Coch- rane and Gehringer were the only ones to hit safely, while everyone ex- cept Red Rolfe were able to break inte the hit column for the Yanks. Laz- zeri and Chapman hit triples off of Rowe's delivery. Other results: American League Philadelphia 6, Chicago 1. Washington 6, Cleveland 5. St. Louis 5, Boston 3.
