THE MICHIGAN DAIL VACS THRTEE The HOT STOVE By BILL REED C Golden Gloves Roberts' 'Invention' Tourney Opens' Rouls Mat Menace Cul owrE' Totre ~Califlor Ears With 21 Fights - Cauliflower ears, the menace of amateur wrestling, will no longer Coach Cappon Calls Halt T Formal Drill Heyliger -Iay Break Scoring Record is I MATT MANN may have a fresh- man swimming team which fur- nishes his Varsity with its best dual competition, but Coach Charlie Hoyt has a varsity track squad which can furnish in time trials as keen compe- tition as will be found in practically any outside meet. Last Saturday's time trials, which showed, incidentally, that Michigan will be ranking favorites in their de- fense of the Conference indoor meet, saw four races which will rank with any similar events in dual meets. Not only were exceptional times turned in, each good enough to place high in a Conference meet, but the intra-squad competition furnished races as close as could be asked. In the quarter Stan Birleson won his favorite event with a bit of fancy sprinting to the first turn as three others finished close behind him at :51.3 in practically a dead heat. They were Harvey Patton, Steve Mason and Fred. Stiles. In the half-mile Howard Davidson showed his strength in winning in better than 1:59, but the big surprise was furnished by Ben Starr, who had earlier been working at a mile, as he finished less than half a stride be- hind Davidson and was caught in the same time. Ray Fink, whose performances this year have proved the sensation of the pre-season training, repeated his three previous wins over Clayt Brels- ford in the mile in better than 4:26, with Brelsford, Conference champion indoors, finishing strong but several steps behind. In the two mile, Walt Stone stepped out ahead of Bill Staehle, the sophomore distance star, to win another race in much below 10 minutes. Starr and Fink have proved the teaym's biggest surprises. Starr, a fair quarter-miler when a sopho- more two years ago, returned after a year away from school much stronger and has practically landed a definite place on the team at a ialf-mile. Fink is an even greater surprise, having cut ten seconds in- doors off his best time made out- doors last year. Added weight and strength, along with a slight change in shoulder carriage, are his explana- tions of the improvement. With strong entries in the quarter, half, and mile, Michigan may be expected to make a bril- liant showing in relay meets dur- ing the coming season. The quar- ter mile team, Conference record holders, has all of its 1935 mem- bers returning, the two-mile team will be strong when led by David- son and Starr, and the four-mile team, composed of Fink, Brels- ford; Stone and Staehle or any of f several others, including Harry O'Connell, who finished fifth in the Conference indoors last year, will be a serious contender in any meet. u t Eight Knockouts scored i As A Capacity Crowd Of 1,200 Witnesses Show By FRED BUESSER Forty-two ambitious young Golden Gloves slungleathereat one another for more than three hours at the Armory last night before a capacity+ crowd of 1,200 people in a wholesale elimination to pair down the hundred entries for Friday night's semi-finals. Eight knockouts featured the show as wild swinging, tempered at times with discretion, but more often not, put eight of the hopefuls out under regulation time. The crowd was enthusiastic throughout the entire show, but dis- played an antagonism toward several decisions in bouts which the judges might well have called draws. Jack Plise, fighting the first bout of his career, put on the cleverest boxing exhibition of the evening when he decisively whipped Art Downing, local fighter who was ex- pected to cut Plise down within two rounds. Downing attempted to out- box Plise, but the Detroit boy, who fights for Bill Rogell, got in under his guard to ram home a series of stiff body punches and then tie up his rangier opponent. Haller Out Cold The shortest fight of the evening saw Bud Petrowski hang a beautiful right on Chuck Haller after less than a quarter of a minute of the first round, and referee Clarence Rosen did not even bother to start his count as Haller's eyes went glassy even be- fore he hit the canvas. The fight which the crowd got the most kick out of brought together Dick Williams, local Company K fighter, and Steve Ramaree, wild punching Italian. Ramaree rushed from his corner with a volley of wild blows that had Williams backed against the ropes, but the Ann Arbor boy weathered the storm and came back to slug toe-to-toe with his op- ponent. In the final round both righters had frequent openings, but failed to follow up fast enough as first one and then the other had his opponent on the verge of a knockout. Williams gained the nod of the judges. Former Champion Defeated In the final go of the preliminary show, former Golden Gloves cham- pion Ribowski caught a hard right hand punch from Jim Stevenson in the right round of their fight, the only open bout of the evening, and although .he got up at the count of nine, was never able to regain enough points as Stevenson kept after him with a short left and away from him with the fear of a wild, but dangerous right. Other knockouts saw Charles Slo- cum finish off John Peters in 1:53 seconds of the first round, and Larry Donnely, Ecorse fighter, nail Tommy Ford of Detroit after a round and a half of wild slugging. All four men were featherweights. Brown Bomber May Lose 1936 Bout For Title MIAMI, Fla., Jan. 29. - (P) -A hint that there might be no world's heavyweight title fight between Joe Louis and Jimmy Braddock this year came today from Joe Gould, cham- pion Braddock's manager. "If the report is true that he will not challenge in 1936," said Gould, "we consider Louis stricken from the list of contenders. "A man cannot be considered for a championship fight unless he is ready and willing to challenge. Last year we went on record as saying we would be pleased to give Louis a crack at the title. Now that he is ap- parently unwilling to challenge, he has eliminated himself. From now on let there be no cry about drawing of the color line." keep potential grapplers from com- ing out for Coach Keen's Varsity team. The authority for this state- ment is none other than Ray Roberts, head athletic trainer, who has de- signed a wrestling helmet to protect the ears of all of Keen's proteges. Seven more were ordered yesterday from Wilson's Athletic Goods, Chi- cago, Ill. "It's just a football helmet without the upper part," Roberts explains. "Coach Keen had so many wrestlers suffering from cauliflower ears that he asked me to see if I couldn't work out some sort of equipment to help him. The bottom of A football head gear is used because it has a fine encasement for the ear." Asked if he planned to continue improving the helmet he said, "I ex- pect, in time, it will wind up with metal ear covers in place of fiber be- cause fiber material soaks up the perspiration and loses its shape. Met- al wouldn't do that because it will be covered with felt and leather. We're also working on a plan to cut down the size of the helmet, es- pecially the back part." Coach Keen plans to require all wrestlers to use them in practice drills. Captain Wally Heavenrich, John Speicher, Frank Bissell, and Lilburn Ochs have all praised the newest invention in Michigan sport circles. Roberts is also the designer of an improved locker room weight chart which is gaining general acclaim. Meanwell Is (questioned By Wisconsin Regents MADISON, Wis., Jan. 29. - (,') - Thd University of Wisconsin Board of Regents, after hearing Dr. Walter E. Meanwell's defense of his admin- istration as athletic director, stood adjourned today until Feb. 6. Questioned for almost five hours last night at the first session of the Board's investigation into troublous Badger athletic contitions, Dr. Mean- well defended his giving whisky to football players and his secret agree- ments with coaches. Regents indicated Dr. Clarence Spears, football coach whose differ- ences with Meanwell precipitated the investigation, would be heard at the next session. Cagers To Keep In Shape With Informal Practicesj During ExamLay-Off The practice schedule to be fol-1 lowed by the Michigan basketballt team over the final-examination per- iod was announced by Coach Cappon yesterday. Informal drill, with the purpose of' keeping the cagemen in condition, will be substituted for the regular or- ganized practice sessions during the lay-off period until Saturday, Feb. 8 when the usual practice drills will be resumed with a night session starting at 7:45 p.m. in order to avoid con- flict with the examinations. Following the evening drill regular practices will be resumed, starting at 3:30 p.m. On February 15th the Wolverines play their first game of the second semester at East Lansing against the Michigan State Spartans in the re- turn game of the traditional series. The Varsity won the first game by a 35 to 24 score. The Indiana game on February 17th at Bloomington, Ind., will mark resumption of the Big Ten campaign. The league-leading Hoosier aggrega- tion handed the Michigan team its first defeat of the season in the Con- ference opener, 33 to 27. BIG FAMILY MEN Red Ormsby, Bill Summers and Tommy Connolly, American League umpires, have eleven, eight and seven children, respectively. Ill augered fortune has cast the I depressing cloud of defeat about Michigan's Varsity hockey team, but Victor -1eyliger and his long stick have continued their goal-getting tactics until the Concord Flash with, eight games left to play, needs to figure in only 18 more scoring play's to break Johnny Sherf's mark of 43 points set during the 1934-35 season. Thus far Heyliger has banged home fifteen goals and been credited with 11 assists for a 26 point total. Hey- liger has averaged 2.89 points per game, while in order to tie Sherf's mark, he will have only to maintain a 2.12 average for the second semester. During the first semester Michigan has scored 29 goals, or an average of 3.2 scores per game, and still the Wolverines have been able to chalk up only three wins in seven starts. Over the same period of time last year Michigan dropped just one game i and still had a lower scoring average than Eddie Lowrey's present squad. These figures reveal very clearly1 that it is not the Michigan attack which has suffered from graduation. The blame cannot be placed on the defense, for a close scrutiny of the records reveal that in every game played to date the opposing goalie has had more stops than either Reed Low or Irving Shalek, Wolverine net minders, or in other words, that Cap- tain Larry David, Bert Smith, and Bob Simpson have been more success- ful than rival defenses in protecting their goalie. The obvious conclusion, then, is that Michigan's unimpressive first semester record is due either to few, but costly defensive lapses, or to poor ,, ~. 1 work on the part of the goal guard. Coach Eddie Lowrey thinks they are due to both, but promises that next semester will tell a very different hockey story.

Jack Drees, Iowa basketball center, was telling a teammate about Ben- nie. "Why he used to drop back into the backfield, take the pass from center, heave a long high pass way down the field, and then beat it down the field to catch it. He scored a lot on that play." "Fast," added John Barker, "that guy was a whirlwind for speed. Why he used to do all the punting. After he kicked the ball, he'd whip over and lead a cheer, and then beat his teammates down the field and tackle the safety man in his tracks." Fred Perry Back.
