TUESDAY, JANUARY 28, 1936 THE MICH1IGAN D)AILY . . . . . - - - - . . . . . . . . nTe HOT STOVE By BILL REED - 1 New Wrestlers Will Bolster Team's Big Ten Hopes _____ , J "AGITATION" for a Michigan- Notre Dame football game is ditinctly moribund, but Douglas B. Asman, of Saginaw, poet-laureate of Michigan football, has sent us a bit of poetry which we can't resist print- ing. It is called "Michigan vs. Notre Dame," with a subtitle, "Played Each Night In Dreamland, (And Sometimes Dreams Come True) ." "Hark" there goes the whistle, And now it's up to you, You boys of Elmer Layden, And Harry Kipke, too. ear that crowd a-yelling, "Block that kick once more" Forward pass them over, Someone gets a score. Time . out, the band is playing The Victors, what a name. Forward march another band, From dear old Notre Dame. Now up and down that battlefield, Those heroes tried and true. Come on, you fighting Irish line, Come on, you Maize and Blue. Again that crowd a-yelling, They tied the score it seems As "Big Ben" on the mantel Spoiled another dream. Each night they meet in Dreamland, Until my dreams come true, Strike up the band, lend us a hand, As I forward pass to you. N THIS PERIOD of social security legislation, youth adjustment pro- grams and so forth, it is a program among the boys of Denver, Col., which interests us most. It interests us iost because it is not only a pro- gram which will have the result which every youth adjustment pro- gram envisages, a healthy attitude towards life, but because it will in- e0itabiy result in the best interests of the game which is closest to the hearts of millions in this country - football. In Denver, for the past several years, there has been organized com- pletely outfiitted sandlot football league for boys of the early grade school years and up. The league, which has grown to a tremendous size, has the dual purpose of pro- viding a really workable recreation program and of furthering the in- terests of football. To the latter end, the league con- centrates on the development of youths who know the essentials of football as a great and clean sport built upon fundamentals of block- ing and tackling. That the league may carry on its schedule without an overpowering strength concentrated in certain teams and individuals, two schedules are arranged, based on the idea that at the age of these boys, weight is Ehe most important element in their power. In the one schedule are placed the lighter boys, probably 95 or 100 pounds or less. And within that group it is a requirement that the heaqvier of those boys can play only in the line. The same requirement is made in the other schedule. No tangible result is yet noticeable from the Denver experiment, as the boys who have taken part in the league have not yet reached their high school and college ages. But it seems inevitable, what with a system administered on the lines that it claims, the results we have men- tioned will result. The principle of early training is the soundest in the development of any athlete. All individual sports depend upon it for the development of their stars, and the street base- ball games teach the elements of that sport. But football, with its need for equipment, has for the most part to wait until its players reach the high school age before they can be seriously instructed. While the Denver leagues are the first large projects with which we are famliar', similar programs are not rare. Elkhart, Ind., which has consistently the best grid teams in Indiana, has the same idea with or- ganized teams beginning in junior high school. And Michigan can attestj to the results of that program. STARK IS HOLDOUT NEW YORK, Jan 27. - (P~) - Al- bert D.

MOE & CARTER COLLEGIANS 7-Piece Band - Girls' Trio Sound System Phone - Ypsilanti 900-W 'Coach'lBen Grady Carries On While Teammates Study; By GEORGE ANDROS The majority of Michigan-, Varsity swimmers have forsaken the Intra- mural pool this week for their semi- annual tussles with the books, but "Coach" Ben Grady is carrying on. The stocky junior, who is one of Matt Mann's stellar quintet of divers and who was placed third among the springboard performers on the All-American Collegiate team this season, has taken over the coaching duties at University High left vacant last June when a Conference elig- ibility ruling sent Tex Robertson, erstwhile mentor and Big Ten dis- tance champ, to a similar position at the University of Texas. Has Hard Task Ben spends the early part of the afternoon polishing up on his diving technique and at three-fifteen daily grabs a stop-watch and spends the next two and a half hours at the seemingly thankless task of molding a team from material that is decidedly in the embryonic stage as far as abil- ity in the water goes. Graduation losses from the strong team that Tex had at his. disposal last winter have forced Grady to begin his work from a point he terms "sev- eral yards behind scratch." With a dual meet at Jackson scheduled at Jackson this weekend, the Wolverine diver is working overtime. Grady's coaching duties are a p ,:L of a practice-teaching course he is taking in the School of Education, but he is not yet decided definitely upon such a career as a life work. Performed Against Michigan Michigan attracted Ben when he competed against the Wolverines in a dual meet as a member of the New York A. C. while he was stillaestudent at Yonkers High. In this meet, won by the New Yorkers in the last event, Grady took third in the diving be- hind Michigan's Dick Degener and Curt Randolph of the Athletic Club. The position he now holds among the country's divers is no surprise when one looks at the record Grady piled up at Yonkers. He was Junior National A.A.U. champion in 1931, National Interscholastic titleholder for two years and Eastern Interscho- lastic winner three times. He has also held the Senior and Junior Met- ropolitan A. A. U. titles. Despite this imposing record off the springboard, Grady likes swimming better than diving ("except the work," he adds), and has a good record in the pool besides his championships off the boards. He won back-stroke, free-style and individual medley titles in the Metropolitan district besides being a member of the medley relay team that once held the National' A.A.U. long-distance relay champion- ship. Hockey Notre Dame Agitation Is 'Bad Taste' - Aigler Professor Ralph W. Aigler, chairman of the Michigan Board in Control of Physical Education, put the board on record Sunday as definitely opposing a renewal of football relations between Michigan and Notre Dame. Speaking as chairman of the board," he absolved Fielding H. Yost,'Director of Athletics, from sole responsibility for the failure to resume relations. Mr. Yost, he said, "is not the only one con- nected with the University of Michigan, and I say this as chair- man of the board, that it is not in favor of a resumption of ath- letic relations with Notre Dame. The whole agitation is in bad taste."

Michigan dropped the first game by a 3-2 score after leading 2-1 with only a couple of minutes to go, but an acci- dentally passed puck out infront of the Wolverine goal tied up the score and the young Tech team went on to win. Shalek played a good game the first night, Lowrey said, and although knocked out by a flying puck, was not seriously hurt. r In the second game, however, the Michigan defense was airtight and the lone counter came mid way in the opening period when Bud Stack, spare Tech flanker, checked in center ice, flipped a looping shot goalward that hit the ice several feet in front of Shalek and then slithered slowly into the cage. Tech played smart, aggressive hockey and it was evident, Lowrey said, that they wanted to beat Mich- igan more than anything else in the world. "They got the breaks, but they were smart enough to take advantage ofI them," he added, Heyliger anct Berryman had sev- eral opportunities to tie up the game, but fate and a desperate Tech stand successfully repelled every Michigan threat. The Varsity will hold optional prac- tice drills until after the conclusion of examinations and then put in a brief period of intensive work for the Pt. Edward game here February 15th. Unless ineligibility includes with- in its diastrous realm the names of Paul Cameron and Lilburn Ochs, the advent of the second semester will provide Cliff Keen, Varsity wrestling coach, with two star prospects ex- pected to bolster the mat team at- tack for the coming Big Ten cam- paign. A teammate of Earl Thomas, Cam- eron also hails from Cresco, Ia., where he wrestled four years. In 1931, Cameron won the 115-pound Iowa state championship and two years later annexed the 95-pound title. Cameron is speedy and rugged in addition to being an exceptionally smart wrestler. Because Thomas and Cameron were developed by the same coach, mat enthusiasts claim that a match between the two would be a natural. Both boys are fast, smart, and have developed a fine sense of balance as well as a high de- gree of coordination. Coach Keen will probably use Cameron in the 135-pound bracket and keep Thomas in the 126-pound Final Exams Will Force Varsity Teams To Rest With the impending arrival ofi final exams comes an athletic lull and no Varsity team will engage in any contest for the coming two weeks. On Feb. 14 Coach Matt Mann's swimmers will renew hos- tilities when they journey to Lafayette, Ind., to oppose Purdue in a dual meet. The next day every Varsity team well swing into action. The basketball and wrestling squads meet Michigan State at East Lansing, and the swimming team faces Indiana at Bloomington, while the only home attraction will find the hockey sextet battling Point Edward. Griffith And Infractions Committee Give Reports On Ohio Subsidation . CHICAGO, Jan. 2 7. -(VP) - Gov. Martin L. Davey's football joke be- came officially known as such today. After a thorough investigation, the Western Conference announced that it was clearly satisfied that the Ohio Governor was merely joking last Oc- tober when he said that 15 Ohio State football players were on the State payroll and insinuated that football prowess got them their jobs. Governor Davey later said that he was merely joking, but the Western Conference ordered two separate in- vestigations with today's result that all 15 players were absolved from all insinuations and charges. ments from the heads of the State departments giving the number of Ohio State students employed, their work performed and their pay. Fur- ther, Governor Davey wrote a letter outlining the requirements for their work andthe work done by the ath- letes. The Infractions Committee re- ported that it found no favoritism of athletes in obtaining State jobs. "The committee feels," said the report, "that Maj. Griffith made a thorough investigation."

Cameron won his fresh- man numerals at Iowa State Col- lege, and registered in the university last year at the beginning of the second semester. Since Coach Keen lacked a 175- pounder, he was forced to use Bill Lowell in this weight, despite the fact that Lowell was originally a 165-pound matman. With Ochs el- igible for competition the Wolverine mentor will not have to worry about sending in a lighter man. Ochs has been drilling all year and has man- aged to keep himself in fine shape. Due to no fault of Lowell's, Michigan,, with the exception of the Spartan meet, has been unable to gain any points in the 175-pound department. Since most of the dual meets have been closely fought, the possibility of gaining some additional points will be more than welcome. In his three years of grappling at the University City High School, Mo., Ochs established a brilliant record. 2O% Off M EN'S Suits, O'coats Topcoats While waving these suits good- I bye, we waive no responsibility!
