Select Boyd Allen To Be
New Track Manager For
Next Season
Frank Aikens, a junior from Sioux
Falls, S. D., was named yesterday to
lead the 1936 Michigan track team by
letter winners of the championship
1935 squad.
Aikens will succeed Harvey Smith,
of Lakewood, 0., who led the Wol-
verines to a complete sweep of Big
Ten track for the year, climaxed by
a thrilling victory in the Conference
outdoor meet here Saturday.
The captain-elect, who transferred
to Michigan last year, is a middle-
distance star who rose to his best
performance. of the year in placing
fifth in the Conference half-mile and
running on the record-smashing mile
relay team. Originally entered in the
quarter-mile event, Aikens was trans-
ferred to the half-mile and steadily
cut his time down to a best perform-
ance of about 1:55, a performance
which qualified him for the National
Collegiate meet to be held June 24
at Berkeley, Calif.
Aikens next year will lead a Mich-
igan squad which is expected to re-
peat the showing of the 1935 'squad
which won both indoor and outdoor
team titles inConference meets. Al-
though the squad will lose Willis
Ward, one of the nation's outstanding
track stars and the main-stay of Wol-
verine teams for three years, Captain
Smith, the best miler in the history
of Michigan and one of the out-
standing half-milers, Konrad Moisio,
who established a reputation in three
years of Varsity competition as a
"money performer," and Bob Kosit-
chek, who placed third in the Big
Ten javelin event, a host of promis-
ing freshmen will bolster next year's
team.
Boyd Allen, of Milwaukee, Wis., was
also named Varsity track manager
for 1936, it was announced by Wil-
liam Morgan, retiring manager. As-
sistant managers named include Syd
Stiegel, Chicago, Harrison Church,
Elkhart, Ind., Morton Mann, New,
York City, and Ed Perkins, Battle
Creek. No alternate manager was
named.
Oosterbaan's Signature
Proves Handy In Pinch
Bennie Oosterbaan knows the
value of a name, at least a famous
name - like his.
Having lost their dog last week,
the Oosterbaans appealed to the
youth of the neighborhood to or-
ganize a search to bring about his
return. Some time after the ap-
peal a group of youngsters came
to the door with the lost puppy.
"How much do you want?" Mrs.
Oosterbaan asked the leader. "Oh,
nothing," was the answer, "unless
Mr. Oosterbaan would give us his
autograph."
Fraternity I-M
Title Goes To
Alpha Omega
Piles Up 1007 Points To
Annex Championship In
Two Divisions
Alpha Omega dental fraternity has
been awarded the fraternity sports
championship of the Intramural de-
partment. In winning the champion-
ship it accumulated a total of 1,007
points, greater than any scored by any
team in either the professional fra-
ternity division or the general fra-
ternity class, thus automatically mak-
ing it champion of both divisions.
This feat has never been accom-
plished by any fraternity entry in all
the twenty-one years of the con-
test's existence.
The men who have accomplished
the most in placing Alpha Omega at
the top of the fraternity heap are
Louis Gans, Murray Koorhan, Her-
bert Lebowitz, Milton Kamber, Sam
Stone, Sidney Klahr, Sam Stolberg,
Frank Greenbaum, and Joe Stein.
Alpha Omega's outstanding piece
of work of the year was its winning
the championship of the Class A fra-
ternity basketball tournament.
Last year Alpha Omega had to be
content with seventh place in the
fraternity team standing but this year
it could not be stopped until it had
piled up its grand total of 1,007 points
in eighteen events. Pi Lambda Phi
placed second with a team total of
944 picked up in 16 events. Third
place goes to Psi Upsilon, who gath-
ered 943 points in 13 events.

Championship Golf Team Will
Defend National Title June 241
By LESTER BRAUSER
Coach Ray Fisher of the Varsity
baseball team has expressed the opin-
ion that this year's freshman base-
ball team was the best fielding out-
fit that he has seen in the past sev-
eral years. He almost went so far as
to say that it was the greatest fresh-
man fielding team he has ever seen.
Fisher said that he did not feel
that the hitting of the yearlings in
the practice sessions that he hadf
watched was anything spectacular but
he did have hopes that it would im-
prove. He excused the poor hitting
on the grounds that the weather this
spring had probably prevented the
first year men from getting enough
practice at the bat.
Urieek Looks Good
He admits that several of the men
on the freshman squad are going to
be mighty welcome to him next year.
He is particularly enthusednover the
play of Steve Uricek, Flint third base
candidate who he believes will fit
in nicely at third base next year, re-
placing George Ford. Ford will be lost
to the team by graduation.
The pitchers, Coach Fisher thinks,
are promising potentialities, who will
give some of this year's Varsity hurlers
a battle for regular mound duty next
year. Some of the most likely pitch-
ing candidates are Lefty Kremer, who
comes from Conneaut, Ohio, Burt
Smith and Herman Fishman of De-
troit, and Lefty Harnden, Saginaw
boy. These four men in particular
caused the Varsity some trouble in
hitting their curves and fast balls
in the several practice games played
this spring.
The infield will present Fisher
with a problem next year. The reg-
ular infield this year all graduate
and it will be up to the freshman in-
fielders and the members of this
year's reserve squad to patch it up
again. The freshmen have several
good men to offer Fisher besides Uri-
cek at third.
Good Infield Seen
There will be Don Brewer who, if
he continues fielding as he has been
this spring, will be a formidable
man with whom those who are after
the shortstop position will have to
,contend. At second base Stark Rit-
chie looks good enough to step in and
take over Clayt Paulson's position,
Then at first the freshmen have a
tall, -rangy Detroit boy who has been
stopping all throws that the fresh-
man infielders havesbeen aiming at
him this year. He is Bill Lane and
his height may place him on first base
for the Varsity next year.
It is no doubt felt by the majority
of Michigan's baseball followers that
the hitting has been weak this year
and the fact that the freshmen have,
shown no power at the bat this spring
will not be very encouraging to them.
However, Fisher, somewhat assured
of his fielding strength next year,
will no doubt stress hitting practice
much more next spring with the
freshmen expected to accomplish the
most in the hitting department as a
result of the emphasis on this phase
of the game.
I-M Sports
Officials announced yesterday that
the Intramural Building will be open
tomorrow, Memorial Day, from 8 a.m.
to 6 p.m. The pool will only be open
from 3 a.m. to 5:30 p.m. in the after-
noon.

Baseball Game With
Spartans Is Postponed
Intermittent showers yesterday
culminating in a burst of rain
shortly after 4 i.m. washed out
Michigan's last home baseball
game of the year. Michigan State
was to have been played.
Whether the game will be played
together with the regularly sched-
uled contest with the Spartans
nexttThursday at East Lansing
is yet to be decided. If there is
a double header, Coach Ray Fisher
indicated that Art Patchin and
Berger Larson would pitch for the
Wolverines. Which of these two
would hurl if only one game is
played, Fisher does not yet know.
the first month of play was shared by
two shortstops, Arky Vaughan of the
Pirates and Lonny Frey of the Dodg-
ers, with 23 each.

To Defeat, 8-3
The Detroit Tigers let loose with a
mighty batting attack, including two
home runs apiece collected by Hank
Greenberg and Billy Rogefl, to batter
the New York Yanks to defeat, 8-3,
yesterday in the Yankee Stadium in
New York. Greenberg's two homers
placed him in a tie for the home-run
leadership of the American League.
Lefty Gomez lasted eight innings
on the mound for the Yanks, with the
Tigers collecting 10 hits off him. Two
hits off Murphy who replaced Gomez
in the ninth were good for two runs
in the final frame to complete the
day's scoring. Crowder hurled for
Detroit, granting only four hits
throughout the afternoon.
The St. Louis Browns defeated the
Boston Red Sox, 6-5, yesterday at
Fenway Park in Boston. The Horns-
bymen pounded out 15 hits off the
combined efforts of Lefty Grove and
Wes Ferrell, Red Sox aces.
