TUESDAY, DEE*EMBEK , 1935 THE MICHIGAN DAILY PAGE THREE S.M.U. Accepts Stanford's Bid For Bowl Clash Mustangs First Team West Of Mississippi Chosen As 'Eastern' Representative PALO ALTO, Dec. 2. - (1') - Southern Methodist, gridiron con- queror of the southwest, was Stan- ford's choice today for the Rose Bowl classic at Pasadena New Year's day. Selection of the Mustangs and their acecptance of the bid from the Pacific Coast conference representa- tive was announced last night, thus ending a week of speculation as to the challenging eleven. Southern Methodist, undefeated and untied, is the first team west of the Mississippi River ever chosen as an "eastern" representative in Rose Bowl play. Favors Passing Game Noted as an eleven that uses for- ward passes as an integral part of its play, it earned the bid Saturday when it defeated Texas Christian, previous- ly undefeated squad, 20 to 14, in a wild and wooly game. Although Stanford lost to the Uni- versity of California at Los Angeles, 7 to 6, in an early season game, it walloped California 13 to 0. Cali- fornia hadwonrnine straight games, and topped all Pacific Coast teams, until it bumped up against "Bobby" Grayson, and his Stanford pals. The invitation to southern Metho- dist was extended by Al Masters, Stanford graduate manager, over long distance telephone. Accept With Pleasure James Stewart, director of athletics at the Texas institution, conferred quickly with S.M.U. officials after Masters called him and then called back and said the Mustangs accepted "with pleasure." The negotiations were completed within an hour. Coach Claude "Tiny" Thornhill of Stanford grinned broadly when he was informed S.M.U. had accepted. "We welcome a chance to match gridiron tactics with Southern Meth- odist," he said. TwoLeaders Ineligible Although Princeton was acknowl- edged champion of the east, and Minnesota held an equally important spot in the mid-west, neither was available for Rose Bowl play because of agreements with other schools. 'When it won over Texas Christian, Southern Methodist virtually cinched the Rose Bowl bid. S. M. U. became Southern Cali- fornia's popular choice for the "east- ern" representative when it beat the strong U. C. L. A. team, conquerors of Stanford, 21 to 0. Jay Berwanger Or Bill Renner In Line For Big Ten Honor By FRED DELANO With the 1935 grid season for the most part history, midwestern fans are centering their attention this week on the choosing of the most val- uable player in the Western Confer- ence and the Monday-morning quar- terbacks are engrossed in speculation as to whether Jay Berwanger or Bill Renner was more valuable to his re- spective team. It is generally conceded by observ- ers that the annual award to the "most valuable" should go to one of these two, the alleged experts feeling that no other one man had as much to do with his team's record as either Berwanger or Renner. Chicago, Michigan Tied Both Chicago and Michigan fin- ished the season with two Confer- ence victories and a trio of losses. Berwanger, however, was a unani- mous choice for All-Conference half- back and is generally conceded an All-American post. The value of the hard driving back to his team, however, and that of Renner's seems upon close examina- tion to differ slightly. The Maroon star gained his prom- inence mainly through his great ball carrying while playing with an in- different eleven. Berwanger was hailed as a star his first season but did not reach top form until this year when his playing was instrumental in Chicago's wins. Against Ohio State Berwanger played such a stellar game that the Maroons led the Buckeyes at half time. It was the same Ber- wanger that scored the seven points to give Chicago a win over Illinois. All through the year this elusive Ber- wanger worried opponents with his running and truly deserves fame. Renner Was Great Leader On the other hand. Michigan's Ren- ner did not establish himself as a dangerous ball carrier - few Wolver- ine quarterbacks ever have. At the start of the season he was most great- ly hearlded as a passer and later on also proved himself a kicker of note. But it was neither passing nor kick- ing that made Renner as valuable as he was. Instead it was his deter- mined spirit to keep playing his best throughout the entire game, this same spirit spreading throughout the Wolverines ranks while Bill was in the game, that brings Renner most of his consideration. Without Renner Michigan was helpless. With Renner the Wolver- ines formed a fighting football team that, although pushed back, just dug in and asked for more. Whether or not he will be judged the Big Ten's "most valuable" remains to be seen but most experts seem agreed that he was one of the most outstanding players of the Mid-west this season. 200-Yard Relay To Be Top Spot Of Aquatic Gala Intense Rivalry Between Freshmen And Varsity To Make Affair Hard Fight That the 200-yard free-style relay between the Varsity, freshman, and alumni quartets to be swum in the Olympic Preparation Gala on Dec.1 13 will be the feature event of the evening's program become apparent yesterday as Coach Matt Mann put his sprinters through a spirited drill featured by intense rivalry between the yearlings and the veterans.

Southern Methodist, winner of 11 straight games, still has to face the strong Texas A. & M. team next Saturday. A newly discovered unbeaten and untied team was Nassau Col- legiate Center of Garden City, N. Y., which has compiled an im- pressive three-year record in jun- ior college ranks.

Frosh Near World Mark Four members of the most licized and apparently strongest short with new pub- first- year squad to appear in Ann ArborI in the eleven years of Coach Mann's reign here started it off by negotiat- ing the 200 yards in 1:35.4. This quartet, composed of Ed Kirar, Baker Bryant, Dave Holmes, and Bill Farns- worth, came within seven-tenths of a second of hitting the world's rec- ord for this event and gave promise the supreme standard is due for a cracking later in the season when the boys round into good shape. Bob Mowerson, Manley Osgood, Dick Blake, and Ed Drew of the WE WERE WRONG Due to an editorial oversight it was erroneously stated in Sun- day's issue of the Daily that the Varsity hockey six was the only Michigan team to win a Western Conference title in a major sport last year. The swimming team, the indoor and outdoor trackf squads, and as there is no distinc- tion between major and minor sports here, the golf quartet also must be included among the win- ners. Varsity went after this mark, but their best effort was 1:37.2. Due to the fact that the Varsity has been brought along under wraps, for the big meets of next semester, however, this mark was a pleasant surprise to Coach Mann. With Paul Keeler and Mark McCarthy taking their places in the Varsity lineup, the time should fall perceptibly, and no one is conceding victory to the yearlings. Mowerson Coming Up The husky Mowerson, after only two weeks of practice drills, is lead- ing the veteran dashmen, and should go places in Conference competition this season. Frank Barnard, na- tionally known distance star and Michigan's outstanding exponent of the free-style this year, is still being kept out of heavy work by a leg injury sustained two weeks ago, but is showing improvement and may ap- pear at the Gala a week from Friday night. Despite all the talk of rivalry be- tween the Varsity and freshmen, the alumni quartet of Dr. Paul Samson, John Schmieler, Taylor Drysdale, and Dick Degener refuses to be silenced and looms as a very strong dark- horse. All except Degener are former Michigan captains and every one of the four gained All-American hon- ors.

Prep Coaches To Meet Here3 Next Saturday' State Basketball Mentors Will Discuss Changes In Rules In Yearly Session The twelfth annual rules inter- pretation meeting of Michigan high school basketball coaches will con- vene in Ann Arbor Saturday to con- sider the present cage rules and mod- ifications suited to their finances and improving the game for both the players and the spectators. The group, which is expected to consist of some 800 coaches and play- ers, will watch demonstrations of the new rules, offensive and defensive basketball in the morning session and hold their annual rules meeting at Hill Auditorium in the afternoon. The Michigan-Michigan Normal con- test Saturday night will close the, meeting. Observers believe that the new rule which prohibits offensive play-i ers to remain in the foul circle or lane for more than three seconds either with or without the ball will be disregarded by the high school group. The new regulation which keeps all players out of the foul circle on jump balls will also come up for consideration. Penalties for viola- tion of this rule are not definite as yet. Before any definite decisions are' made on modifications, the mentors will hear the report of the review committee composed of Franklin Cappon, Varsity coach and chairman, Coaches Arthur Carty and Edward T. Powers of Detroit, C. Leo Redmand of Muskegon, James Barclay of Flint, Thai;el Banitz of Big Rapids, Harve Freeman of Kalamazoo, Martin L. Van Wingen of Grand Rapids, and James Barclay of Flint. The demonstrations of offensive and defensive play will be given by the St. Augustine High School quin- tet of Kalamazoo and the Detroit Northwestern team in the Intramural Sports Building gym. A luncheon for the coaches will be held at noon at which Lloyd Olds, Michigan Nor- mal track coach, will speak.

By CLIFFORD KEEN (varsity wrestling Coach) (Editor's Note : This is the first of a series of articles by Coach Clifford Keen to appear in The Daily). Thereyare several splendid rea- sons why every boy should know something of the great sport of wrestling and practice it. It has long been known that physi- cal exercise is necessary for the con- tinuance of health. No other sport excels wrestling as a means of physi- cal development and as a healthful exercise. It makes a strong, healthy, beautiful physique out of a weak, sickly and ugly body. Educators, and all who have given thought to life's greatest blessings, recognize that good health heads the list as life's richest possession. Without health other accomplish- ments may have no value, since health is usually essential in the prop- er execution of any worth while en- deavor. Has Great Moral Values Almost as important as the physi- cal characteristics of this sport is its great moral values. "A healthy body harbors a healthy mind" is a time honored adage. The best elixir for a timid underdeveloped, bashful boy is a good dose of scientific wrestling instruction. A certain self-confidence is acquired by the element of physical competition in wrestling. Conquering anopponent on the mat, or the proper execution of one of the innumerable holds, develops confidence, initiative and a conquer- ing spirit. It endows him with many faculties that will be beneficial to him in encountering the problems of life. The conquering spirit invades the mind. One resolves to attack the evil influences of life, - bad habits, and all forms of dissipation must go. Wrestling puts a premium on endur- ance, strength and clean living. In applying all the holds, trips, locks, counters and counterattacks I-M1 Sports which are used in wrestling, every muscle of the human mechanism is brought into play. If a muscle fibre lies dormant for a long period of time, it perishes. If a nerve cell is not used, likewise, it fails to function. When a muscle is exerted it affects those muscles which are in close prox- imity by the circulation of blood. Brain Cells Benefitted The cells of the brain are also bene- fited by this physical exercise, since the blood nourishes the brain. It is reasonable to assume that the educa- tional value of various forms of physical education is attained through the development of motor skills, self-control, muscular and or- ganic health and strength, and the quickening of a high sense of fair play. Under careful and intelligent sup- ervision of school authorities, wrest- ling should be accorded a place on the calendar of sports, not only in the colleges but in every preparatory school, high school and even in the lower grades of our public schools.

Fine Portraiture Since 1890 319 EAST HIURON DIAL 55 By RICHARD SIDDER Following, the good old American3 custom of choosing an all-star team at the end of a major sports season, the officials of the Intramural Sports Building have combined their talents with those of the local scribes and, after many long conferences, have emerged with an All-Star Fraternity Speedball Team for the first time in history. Expecting a deluge of phone calls and letters asking why Zilch wasn't chosen when everybody knows that he's better than Whosis, the com- mittee wishes to make clear the fact that it understands that no such se- lection can please everyone, but de- mands recognition from careful ob- servation and intense interest in mak- ing the choices. Scrutiny Is Close Every man who participated in any contests this year came under the watchful eye of one or more officials and the squad was selected only after a close scrutiny of the season's play was made. No individual was placed on the team merely because he star- ed in one or two contests. Consis- tency throughout the season was re- quired for recognition. Theta Chi, besides winning the championship, also came through with four places on the first team. Rod and Doc Howell and Bill Wells were outstanding in every game, dis- playing a thorough knowledge of the finer points of the game, and con- sequently have been awarded for- ward positions. Walker Graham proved to be the best goalie in the league, being almost unbeatable even on the penalty kicks. Kent Bradford of the Psi Upsilon house and Elbert Haight of the Delta Upsilon team were selected as the other forwards. Both are exception- ially fast, excellent dribblers, and hard shots. Defense Pair Sturdy The defense pair were both mem- bers of the Phi Beta Delta squad. Herman Fishman and Al Blumen- feld are two rough, tough boys who are at their best when the going is hardest. They are powerful kickers and had the knack of setting up the ball for their forwards to pick up.! ALL STAR TEAM!
