Wrestling Is Good Conditioner, Agree Varsity Gridders By RICHARD LaMARCA Apparently various Michigan grid - ders agree with Coach Don McCallis- ter of North Carolina University that wrestling is fine training for football linemen because many of them have been drilling with Varsity matmen. In addition to Harry "Tiny" Wright and Frank Bissell, who are star grap- plers as well as good football players, James "Farmer" Lincoln, tackle, Er- nie Pederson, guard, Jim Musik, end, - and Stan Schumann, center, all have t in their spare moments worked out with the wrestlers. 1 Among the past gridmen who con- sidered wrestling as a good condition- ing sport were the names of George Rich, captain of the 1930 Wolverine eleven, Al Steinke, rugged guard, e Howard Auer, stellar tackle, and Ray - Parker, guard. The latter three men were Varsity grapplers. Parker was n a former Big Ten champion while Steinke was one of the first Michigan wrestlers to join the professional s ranks. - Coach Keen, Varsity mat coach, ex- f plains: "It helps a football player to - develop a fine sense of coordination v in addition to improving his footwork. Y It also teaches him to use his hands and toughens him up due to the e similar physical contact encountered . in wrestling." n - Boston Club Renamed Bees As Result Of Poll BOSTON. Jan. 30.-- UP) - The n n, National League baseball club of e Boston, heretofore the Braves, be- e came the "Bees" today and here- e after their home grounds, former- f ly the Wigwam, will be known as r the Hive. t A jury of 25 newspapermen se- lected from 1,327 names suggested the new nickname for the Boston e team, recently reorganized. r The roster issued today by the d Bees includes one .300 hitter and o a single major league pitcher who e won more than he lost last season. r I II 'The HOT STOVE L: By BILL REED- J Detroit Shortstop Acquires New Hobby, Training Amateur Boxers THAT LITTLE cementer ofo good feeling whose editorial heart is so free from petty jeal-a ouzy, The Michigan State News, absolves us ofall blame for any part in the Notre Dame incident.r "You can hardly blame the ed- itrs of the Michigan Daily sportsr page," it says, "they haven't any-s thing else to write about."c We won't deny it. For we haver been hiding all week after thet telling assertion of Michigan5 State's unquestioned superiority quoted last w e e k, "T W O STRAIGHT FOOTBALL WINS."t LTHOUGH it means little to the Middle West with Harvard andt the East dominating the American' team, it appears that for the firstt time in the history of the Olympic event that the United States may wint the world's amateur hockey title in that 6ompetition. Not only does the American team appear to be strong, but the Canadian team, defending titleholders, has been hard hit. The amateur championship team of last year, customary repre- sentatives, has been disbanded and the players selected do not make as; strong a playing combination as the championship six would. In addition, four of the players originally selected were dropped before the Canadian team went abroad because they asked that they receive financial remunera- tion for the time they would have been away from work. While some of the European teams have been making great strides with the help of Cana- dian coaches, and while the game is met with great enthusiasm all over the continent, none of them is expected to be strong eneugh to eliminate either the Canadian or American teams. The case of the four Canadians who were suspended for their de- mands harks back to the days before hockey was introduced as a legitimate professional sport and the Stanley Cup was still in the goal of the Do- minion's amateurs. In those days, and even much later, as Eddie Lowrey recalls, am- ateur hockey was real excitement. Typical of that era is Eddie's story of the teams which would go into the province t engage some, local aggregation. The visitors would let the home boys run up a lead in the first two periods and then their schills would circulate among the enthusiastic home folk, collecting bets. In the final period, of course, would come a series of lucky goals and the boys would go home, and in the bucks. Much has been written about how professionalization of the amateur game has destroyed the sport. But that it is the charge against every sport which moves over into the paid-money class. Personally, we don't think the game has changed at all for the worse, in fact the demands of speed and more speed made by the professional's paying customers if anything made the game better to watch. But the players remain the same-in the game for the love of the sport as well as the money. Their fights are not sham by a long ways, but the natural overflow of energy which the game creates, just as it is in any amateur game, pick-up or organized league. Bietila Is Injured About Head In Practice Jump GARMISCH - PARTENKIRCHEN, Jan. 30.-IP)-Already conceded small chance against their rivals from the North countries, America's Olympic skiers found themselves be- set by an injury jinx today. To a casualty list that already in- cluded Edgar H. Hunter, Jr., of Dart- mouth. and Holf Monsen, of Lake Placid, N. Y., was added Walter I. Bietila, of Ishpeming, Mich. Bietila, a Sophomore at the Uni- versity of Michigan and youngest man on the ski squad, suffered head injuries during a practice jump. He will be laid up for a day or two but should have fully recovered by the time the Winter Games start, Feb. 6. Yost Debunks Post - Season Tilts,_Systems NEW ORLEANS, La., Jan. 30.-- (P) - Fielding H. Yost, athletic director of the University of Michigan, says he , thinks little of post-season games. and in his opinion, "this talk about,1 football systems is the bunk." Pausing here on a trip to Califor-I nia, where he will attend a rules meeting, the Michigan mentor said he believed football had become as standardized as baseball. "Every so- called system is 95 per cent funda- mentals," he said. "You must have the proper blocking and tackling if you are going to have a system. "I don't care whether it is the single wing back, the double wing back, the Notre Dame system, the Minnesota shift or whatever else you want to call it, you have to have the fundamentals and you have got to have the proper cogs to fit into the machinery if it is going to work." Yost went back 32 years to select the Michigan player he considers the' greatest he ever coached. He named Willie Heston, Michigan 1901-1904. ROSS. SEEKING $40,000 NEW YORK, Jan. 30.-(A')-Bar- ey Ross, of Chicago, welterweight champion, wants $40,000 to defend his title against Tony Canzoneri, of New York, lightweight champion. By RICHARD F. SIDDER The main task confronting Coach Johnny Johnstone, Varsity tennis mentor, if he wants a winning team this year, seems to be the job of de- veloping some individual player who will be capable of holding his own in any kind of company. If he can do this, Michigan's prospects for a good season will be very bright. In two matches against the Detroit Tennis Club squad this winter, the Wolverines showed that their team balance was excellent. They won sevenwof twelve matches to win the first meet between the two teams, but the Detroit netters won the re- turn battle, 5-2, when only five men were used on the team. Beat Detroit Once When the squads met in Ann Ar- bor, the Maize and Blue racquet wielders won three of the last four singles matches and two of the last three doubles tilts to nose out their more experienced opponents after the, Detroit men had taken an early lead. The only reversal of a decision in the second match occurred when Capt. Howard Kahn was beaten by Jerry Hoxie, the Tennis Club's number-one man. The difference in scores lies in the fact that five fewer matches were played thereby putting a pre- mium on individual brilliance rather than team balance. Two Stand Out Two men stand out as possibilities to overcome this weakness that prom- ises to keep Michigan from gaining a high place in Conference competi- tion, Jesse Flick, a transfer from Texas who is playing his first year on the squad, and Miller Sherwood, a letter-winner last season. Sherwood has the strokes to go far in competition but lacks the ag- gressiveness that will round out his game and make it a winning one. He is the finest stylist on the squad and needs only to add a little more fire to his game to become a leading star. Flick looks good in practice, but until he is seen under pressure little can be determined as to his ultimate value to the squad. Captain Kahn is a fine player and has an excellent record in Big Ten competition, but his size, or rather the lack of it, is too much of a handi- cap for even such a game fighter as Kahn to overcome. He will un- doubtedly win far more matches playing in the second or third posi- tion. Jarvis Dean and John Rod- riguez. both lettermen from last eyar's squad, are consistent players. One thing seems certain, how- ever. Regardless of the success of Coach Johnstone's search for an ace player this season, next year will find the Wolverines a much improved team as the present freshman squad is the best in the history of John- stone's stay here at Michigan.

Dial 3500 J. -til IL A Perm anent U- T J .T Development Of An Outstanding Star Is Main Task ConfrontingJohnstone 4 1 By FRED BUESSER Bill Rogell, fighting fire chief of the World Championship Detroit Tig- ers arid one of the best shortstops in baseball has become a stable owner, but among his possessions are no four-footed steeds capable of copping the, Santa Anita or the Derby. In fact Mr. Rogell owns no four footed animal of any kind, simply be- cause his stable is one of fighters and not horses. Rogell attended the opening Golden Gloves show here Wednesday night, principally he said, to watch one of his fighters, Jack Pleice, who was raking. his ring debut. Cheered en- thusiastically by the crowd when he was introduced, Rogell climbed into the ring and shook hands with the two fighters who were. about to com- mence their bout. Has Four In Stable The fire chief has taken a real interest in the fight game of late and now trains- and takes care of three amateurs and a professional. Bill is particularly proud of Tony Rupinski who beat Elmer Cousineau of Ann Arbor here last December while using only one hand, his other having been fractured just before the fight. With the conversation suddenly switched to baseball, Rogell said he expected Al Simmons to have a great year and to lead the Tigers in batting, while the club as a whole would be stronger. Rowe, Bridges and Auker will be the leading pitchers, Rogell thinks, and he looks for Crowder to give the 'tigers at least ten games. Asked about the outstanding rookies who will train with the Tigers at Lakeland this spring Bill was noncomittal, but added that with the exception of Ludy York he knew too little about their ability to pass judgment. York he said had practically no chance to break into the regular lineup and would probably be shipped back to a good minor league club. Says Flea May Break In Someone asked Bill if he thought the Tiger infield would have a lucky year, with which the little shortstop became almost red as he snorted "lucky!" "You have to take care of yourself, and you have to be care- ful, but you do have to get your share of the breaks. I might go out and break my leg the first week of prac- tice and the whole team might be in a train wreck, but as far as I know we'll have the same infield as last year, although the Flea may break, in at third." Rogell favors the Giants over the Cards in the National League flag chase and gives the Cubs no better than third. Asked about a world series preference in case the Tigers take their third straight American League pennant, Rogell would much prefer to get another whack at the Cards. Bill Knows Fight Game Bill, turning his attention to the ring as his fighter, a stocky, powerful boy, stepped under the lights, shqwed a keen knowledge of the fight game as he commented on his fight- er's form and ability. After the bout and the fire chief's man, Pleice had decisively defeated his more experi- enced rival, Art Downing of Ann Ar- bor, Bill waxed enthusiastic and ex- plained that in addition to Pleice and Rupinski he also has in his stable Johnny Johnson, a lightweight and Perry Moyer, a middleweight. Asked what he thought of the reno- vated Boston Red Sox, Rogell said they were bound to be tough, and as an afterthought added, "they'll be the team to beat, they certainly should be stronger than the Yanks." Bill smoothed back his silver tinged hair and slowly made his way out of the aisle when he was asked, "And what about the Tigers Bill, will they be tops again?" Rogell stopped and thought a min- ute and then replied: "Ask Cochrane, that's his business - and his respon- sibility," and vanished into the crowd.
