(, MAY 30, 1935'. THE MICHIGAN DAILY PAGE TIREE Michigan Nine Journeys To East Lansing For 10 End Careers; Larson To Pitch For Wolverines Fisher Takes Entire Squad Of Sixteen Men To Face MichiganState Spartans Are Strong Varsity Net Squad These Four Will Start In Indianapolis Race Ford, Oliver, Paulson, And Teitelbaum, Star Infield, Make Last Appearance The season closes for the Michigan baseball team today with a single game against Michigan State at East Lansing. Tuesday's scheduled game with the Spartans, which was rained out, will not be played, and the Varsity will make no other appearance at home.- Sixteen men, the entire personnel, will more the trip north. Ten of these will be making their last ap- pearance in a Michigan uniform. Ber- ger Larson will be Michigan's start- ing pitcher. The whole infield will graduate this June, together with a pitcher, a catcher, and two outfielders. Capt. Russ Oliver, Clayt Paulson, Jack Tei- telbaum, and George Ford are the infielders; Art Patchin, the pitcher; John Regeczi and Mike Meltzer the outfielders; and Walter Parker the catcher.- Michigan State has a very formid- able record this year, although its opposition has probably not been as stiff as the Wolverines'. Although - Larson will start, Art Patchin may get in, and Fisher would like to use John Gee once more be- fdre the season ends. Gee's startling performance against Northwestern on the recent road trip has made him a much more impressive possibility for next year than many had considered him. He places chief reliance on a fast ball. Against the Purple he had excellent control, also. The game will begin at 3 p.m., with the Varsity leaving by automobile at 11 a.m. Those that will make the trip are: Jim Williams, Art Patchin, Berger Larson, George Ford, Jack Teitel- baum, John Regeczi, Clayt Paulson, Russ Oliver, Mike Meltzer, George Rudness, George Lerner, John Gee, Earl .-Meyers, .Harry Verbeek, Matt Patanelli, and Walter Parker. Michigan's lineup and batting order is expected to be: Ford, 3b. Rudness, 2f Paulson, 2b Oliver, lb Regeczi, f Teitelbaum, s Lerner, rf. Williams, c Larson, p Yankees Down Washington In Short Contest Home runs by Pitcher Charlie Ruf- fing and Lou Gehrig provided the New York Yankees with enough runs to defeat the Washington Senators in an abbreviated six-inning game by the score of 7-4. The victory placed the Yankees in a virtual tie for first place with the Chicago White Sox. The Boston Red Sox rallied to score eight runs in the seventh inning ofI their battle with the Philadelphia Athletics and nose out the Macks, 10-9. Boston is now tied with the De- troit Tigers for fourth and fifth posi- tions. A four-run rally in the second in- ning discounted a home run by Ale Kampouris and enabled the St. Louis Cardinals to go into a tie for third and fourth places in the National League by virtue of a 6-3 win over the Cincinnati Reds. Bill Walker was the winning pitcher, although he1 was relieved by Paul Dean in the seventh. Wally Berger led the Boston Braves to an 8-6 win over the Philadelphia Phillies by batting in six runs with a homer and a single. Bob Smith re- lieved Dutch Brandt on the mound for the Braves in the fifth inning and retired the Phillies in order without allowing a man to reach first base., These were the only games sched- uled to be played in both leagues. All teams will play doubleheaders today with much shifting of the standings in prospect. FRAND BRISCOE CHET MILLER Picks lH Eight Netters Given Awards By Johnstone Neil Levenson Heads List Of Eight Freshmen Who Will Get Numerals Howard P. Kahn, '36, of Brook- lyn, N. Y., was elected captain of the next year's edition of Maize and Blue tennis players.

The sophomores on thi squad, Miller Sherwood, Grand Hav en; and Jarvis Dean, Chicago, Illinois conclude the list. Top Positions Left Open Captain Siegel and Anderson leav open the positions at the top of th Wolverine rankings when they grad. uate next month. They alternated a the No. 1 and 2 positions during the major part of the season, while Sher. wood and Kahn completed the firs bracket.

His record has kept him in the top bracket since he started playinj ! on the squad, for as a sophomore hi was one of the Michigan netmen t4 be entered in the Big Ten tournament He has the added distinction of beinj the littlest man ever to win an "M. Is Fighter Of his consistently good play thi year, Coach Johnstone has more that once said, "Howie is one of my mos dependable players.

I-M Sports BABE STAPP WILBUR SHAW Pwie 'The HOT STOVE t -----By BILL REED Kahn 'Champions Of The West' Is Not Idle Cry, Records Show By ROBERT J. FRIEDMAN That "Hail! Hail! To Michigan - Champions of the West" is an ex- tremely justifiable cry is obvious when one learns that during 29 years of Conference football competition the Wolverine gridders have chalked up 14 titles while their nearest rivals, the Minnesota Gophers have only nine championships to its credit. Michigan entered the Western Con- ference in 1896 as one of the orig- inal members along with Chicago, Purdue, Illinois, Wisconsin, Minne- sota and Northwestern. In 1899 In- diana and Iowa joined and in 1913 membership was completed by the entrance of Ohio State. In 1907 the Wolverines withdrew from the Big Ten and did not return until 1917. First Title In 1898 It took Michigan two years before it started its winning ways. Chicago pulled down the first championship in 1896 and Wisconsin's Badgers were the champions in 1897. But in 1898 Michigan won and from then on up to 1907 the Maize and Blue waved victorious pennants five times over the heads of the rest of the Confer- ence. When the Wolverines returned to the Big Ten in 1917 the winning habit began anew. From 1918 to 1926 the Michigan men garnered five titles. Then came three lean years until in 1930 Michigan won again. The vic- tory was repeated in 1931, 1932 and 1933 and Michigan had won fourteen championships. Illinois Is Third The results of the Conference teams since they have been members are: Michigan 29 years-14 titles; Minne- sota 39 years -9 titles; Illinois 39 years -8 titles; Chicago 39 years - 7 titles; Ohio State 22 years - 3 titles; Wisconsin 39 years - 4 titles; Iowa 36 years - 3 titles; Northwestern 39 years - 3 titles; Purdue 39 years - 2 titles; Indiana 36 years- no title. Only 29 years a member of the Big Ten compared to 39 for most of the others, yet Michigan holds a lead of five championships over the Gophers, and six over the Illini while Indiana, 36 years in the Conference, has not yet won a gridiron title.

Main St. -- DOWNTOWN Our Location Saves You Money. 33 Ca rs Await Opening Bomb At Indianapolis Bill (uUlinings And Meyer Try To Repeat Previous Victories Thirty-three qualifiers, making up the fastest field ever to start in the annual Indianapolis Memorial Day 500-mile classic, are waiting the start- ing bomb scheduled to fire at 11 a.m., Detroit time. Because of the fast qualifying times, it is predicted that the record set by "Wild Bill" Cum- mings last year will be broken. Rex Mays, with an average of 120.736 miles an hour in his trial run,+ will lead the pack from the pole posi- tion of the first of the eleven rows. Kelly Petillo, who broke the track rec- ord with an average over 121 which was ruled out because the California dare devil used too much gasoline, will be starting from the eighth row, but once the field has thinned out he will probably fight for the lap money and set a fast pace once he gets the lead. Many favor Cummings to repeat his last year's victory. His steady driv- ing, the type that usually wins, may put him in a class with Louis Meyer and Tommy Milton, only two-win- ners. Meyers will be trying for his third win and cannot be discounted when the favorites are being con- sidered for he, like Cummings, drives the type of race that wins. Four of the ten Ford V-8's entered by Harry Miller, veteran Detroit en- gineer, will be among the starters. During the trials the Fords, flashiest creations ever put on the track, made the most consistent showings of any of the tiny cars, although their times were not as good -as some. PLAY NIGHT GAME University of North Carolina andj Duke university baseball teams played a night baseball game in Memorial stadium at Greensboro, N. C. The Hot Stove takes pleasure in continuing with the precedent estab- lished last year with the Star Dust Honor Awards in announcing its choices as the outstanding athletes in the freshman class in each sport. Last year's selections for the most partt fulfilled the predictions made for them and it is hoped that these selec- tions may succeed as well. If any comment is necessary, it might be pointed ot that, as con- trasted to last year, there is a carry- over from sport to sport of outstand- ing individuals. All-around athletes are prominent in the class of 1938. For the first time one man is named as outstanding in two sports while several are mentioned prominently in as many as three sports. "Winners" of these awards may call at The Daily offices and receive three copies of this paper. FOOTBALL--Although the Chicago alumni Award is usually taken as in- dicative of superiority among yearling gridders, restriction of choice for that trophy to one individual has obvious drawbacks which do not necessarily operate on a selection such as this, so that we may name any number. Bob Cooper, a big man and fast, was awarded that trophy, but we include with Cooper, Stark Ritchie, a halfback who has showed everything, and ap- pears to be still improving. Cooper and Ritchie head one of the strong- est classes of gridders in recent years, however, and it includes John Smith- ers, a back, George Marzonie, who will be welcomed at a guard, and George Ghesquire, who will improve the caliber of Michigan's cnl play if he never enters a game. BASKETBALL - There is no ques- tion in picking John Townsend, for he is not only the outstanding basket- ball played of the freshman class, but he is also the best ever to enter school here by common acknowledgement.f BASEBALL - Steve Uricek, who is an all-around star, head the fresh- man ball players. Although he did not report until after spring football, he established himself as an outstanding fielder at third base as well as a strong hitter. TRACK - Picking an outstanding track man is obviously difficult be- cause of the absence of means of com- parison. Two men stand out, how- ever, John Townsend and Bill Staehle. Townsend has already thrown the shot more than 47 feet while Staehle will be a valuable replacement for Harvey Smith in the middle-distance and distance runs. WRESTLING - A National A.A:U. champion while still in high school, Earl Thomas, brother of a former Michigan captain and Olympic grap- pler, is almost certain to take points in any meet next winter. GOLF - From one of the strong- est and best-balanced freshman golf squads in history, John Cameron of Dtroit stands out with his par aver- age for the season as a worthy sue- SEN I OR BALL June 14 music Corjfporaton of Aericaf'reets r ents -i OutstandingSophomore Group By RAYMOND GOODMAN One of the redeeming features of Because of the outstanding per- the basketball team was the showing formances of Wolverine sophomores of Earl Meyers, Matt Patanelli, and in almost every sport in the past Johnny Gee.

SWIMMING-Michigan's four div- ers took eight out of a possible eleven places in the diving events in the Na- tional Collegiate meet this year, and all are returning next season but Bob Cheetham may supplant any one of them. He is especially capable off the high board. Pi Lambda Phi will receive the championship, cup for competition in general fraternity sports. Alpha Omega will be given the championship cup for professional fraternities and on their cup will be engraved the fact thatethey compiled more points than any other fraternity in either group. Their grand total for the season was 1,007. The Intramural Building will be open today from 8 a.m. to 6:00 p.m. The pool will be open from 3 p.m. until 5:30 p.m. The All-Campus tennis tournament reached the semi-final round with the following matches scheduled to be played: Al Rotberg vs. John Edmonds.
