WEDNESDAY, MARCH 18, 1936 THE MICHIGAN DAILY U'l; W. li Eighth Annual Intramural Open House To Be Held Tonigh Frosh, Varsity Wrestling Meet TopsProgram Delta Kappa Epsilon Faces Chi Psi In Class 'A' Cage Finals At 8:30 P.M. Net Team To Play Ernie Smith And Davidow, State Champion, To Give Squash Exhibition The intramural department's eighth annual Open House with 21 different sports and hundreds of par- ticipants will entertain an expected crowd of 5,000 spectators for three hours tonight beginning at 7:00 p.m. at the Intramural Sports Building. The Open House, which is Ann Ar- bor's largest athletic show, has been built up year by year from a small event to one of major importance to sports enthusiasts. The program this year is the largest and most diversi- fied that has ever been offered. What is probably the feature event of the whole evening will take place at 7:30 when the freshman and Var- sity wrestling squads meet to see whether the freshmen's claim of su- periprity over the Varsity squad is justified. Dekes Face Chi Psi Another event which has drawn the largest crowds in the past is the finals in the Class "A" fraternity basketball league, which is sched- uled to take place at 8:30 p.m. Delta Kappa Epsilon will face Chi Psi this year in a game which promises to provide many thrills for the onlook- ers. Chis Psi, fresh from a 21-12 victory over the strong Sigma Alpha Mu quintet in the semi-finals, has a fast breaking, close guarding team which should provide the Dekes with all the basketball that they want. Sigma Alpha Epsilon will play Delta Sigma Pi at 7:00 p.m. in the finals of the Class "B" fraternity basketball league. Both teams have strong aggrega- tions that have swept aside all op- position so far and should put on a good game. At 9:00 p.m. the Physical Ed's and the All-Stars will tangle in the finals of the Independent basketball league. The members of the Physical Ed team started to play together when they were freshmen and have played for four years with a very enviable record. They won the Independent title as freshmen, reached the play- offs when they were sophomores, won the title again last year, and are fa- vored to repeat this year. Mike Sav- age, one of the original quintet, has been an Independent All-Star selec- tion for the last three years. Chi Psi, the fraternity champions, and the D.D.'s the independent win- ners, will engage in a foul shooting contest between halves of the inde- pendent basketball game. Horseshoe Exhibition One of the most interesting and unusual events of the evening will be a horseshoe pitching exhibition be- tween halves of the Class "B" fra- ternity basketball game by 12 year old Bobby Hitt of Plymouth, Mich. Bobby, who weighs only 86 pounds an; pitches the regulation shoes and distances, will run through his reper- toire of tricks which includes light- ing matches, and ringing covered stakes. Ann Arbor, Ypsilanti Central, Ypsi- lanti Roosevelt, and University High School swimming teams and the freshman swimming team will give exhibition free-style and medley re- lays. Bryant "Bud" Ruthven will give a rope twirling exhibition from the diving board. Ernie Smith, the Intramural Sport's Department's star squash player will play an exhibition match with Dr. David Davidow of Detroit. Davidow recently defeated Smith in the finals of the Michigan State tour- nament. Psi Upsilon, the fraternity cham- pions, and Sigma Chi, the runners-up in the fraternity league, will oppose each other in an exhibition water polo match. The Chinese students will meet the D.D.'s in a volleyball game at 7:00 p.m., and the Ann Arbor Y.M.C.A. will play the Jackson Y.M.C.A. at 8:00 p.m. Handba Stars Meet A group of handball players from Toledo and Detroit will be on hand to give exhibitions against the local tal- ent. Walker and Berg of Toledo, the runners-up in the national Y.M.C.A. tournament, are scheduled to play a match with Schaufelberger and Dowd of Detroit. Miller Sherwood and Howie Kahn, Jarvis Dean and Jesse Flick, and Johnny Rodriguez and Ted Thorward Independents Tie Kappas For Girls' Swimming Crown By B. ANDERSON Kappa Kappa Gamma and an In- dependent team made up of girl's league house residents tied for first place in the Women's Intramural' swimming meet held last night in the Union pool. Each team scored 33 points as Betsy Barbour placed third with an 18-point total. The Kappas were the defending champions. For the second consecutive year, Katherine Johnston of Kappa was the high-point scorer with 17 2 3 points placing first in the 40-yard crawl, 25-yard back-stroke, 25-yard crawl and tieing for third place with two other women in the diving. Sally Kenny of the Independent team gar- nered 12 2 3 points for second posi- tion in the individual standings. Three new records were set in the 40-yard crawl, 25-yard breast-stroke, and 25-yard consolation crawl. Miss Johnston set a new mark of 26.5 in the crawl bettering the old standard of 27.4 set last year. Miss Kenny's time of 19.5 in the breast-stroke was 1.8 seconds better than last year's record while Doris Holt won the con- solation even in 19 flat. In the 40-yard back-stroke Mary Redden, co-captain of the Indepen- dent squad won by a wide margin over Janet Lambert of Martha Cook. Mabel Howard was third. Elizabeth Hopkins of the Kappas captured the 25-yard side-stroke, nosing out Esther Middlewood and Betty Fromm. The 75-yard medley relay was won by Betsy Barbour with the Independents second and Martha Cook third. Alpha Phi swam to victory in the 100-yard free-style relay in the fast time of 1:10 flat ahead of Kappa Kappa Gamma and Kappa Alpha Theta. ' In the final event of the evening, Pauline Mitchell and Lorraine Lam- bert tied for first place in the diving. Hoytmen After Butler Relays Cinder Crown The HOT STOVE -- --- By BILL REED EEV eet to heem," battle cry of the vicarious grappler whose lusts are none the less carnal for the fact that his habitat is the balcony and not the ring, forms the theme of today's dissertation. For it is that cry which is the raison d'etre (pardon me) for the dramas which disgrace the professional wrestling game. Year after year, match after match, and grunt after groan the cry rings out, following the progress of the matches which run uniformly true to type. There are the Horatio Alger con- quests, the hero coming from under to win; there are the virtue-always triumphs fights, a variation of the first when the terribly wronged and virtuously behaved young man by a superhuman effort rises at last and throws the villain far into the shad- ows; and there is the well-he-can-be- gotten-next-time bout when the un- popular conqueror is booed out of the arena as the defeated warrior raises his bloody head to issue a challenge for another match, next Monday night right here in this ring! They are but a part of the reper- toire of the well-trained wrestling troupe, and their presentations are indeed a fertile field of observation for the anthropologist or the student of abnormal psychology, but to the true sports fan, whose appreciation of fine competition between highly trained athletes is well developed, such exhibitions are nothing short of disgusting. For if the result of every bout is not fixed the technique is, and the faked punches and cushioned slams are, to be completely objective, not the essence of true sport. All of which leads to mention of the freshman-Varsity wrestling meet which features the Open House to- night. In that meet 16 of the Uni- versity's best wrestlers will be giving their best in a sport which has as much basis in science as anyindi- vidual competition. Their desire is not to satisfy the bloody lusts of the balcony bruisers, but to get the fullest return~s from a sport which made the greatest demands upon the resource- fulness and physical development of the individual. Dull as the sport appears at times as two men go through the process of getting an advantage which will not be broken by a violent grunt, the details of that process give followers of the game a thrill which the simu- lated batterings of the professional ring cannot possibly offer. TOO MUCH POLITICS Senator King, of Utah. hasn't been to more than half a dozen major league baseball games during his long years in Washington, despite the fact that he was captain and pitcher at Michigan University and played at Utah University and Brigham Young.

And they have sufficient rea- sons, too. A baseball driven about3 sixty three feet with Ruthian vigor and headed straight for the skull, would even coax a few beads of sweat out of intrepid Frank Buck. Wolverine hurlers have slightly more concern for their hide than the ani- mal hunter.- Awarded First Letter The big fellow wielding such an especially menacing mace is John Jablonski, who just recently swapped his basketball shoes for a pair of spikes. Although a senior, Jabby is eligible for baseball for the first time this season, having finally licked the Great Bane of a good many athletes - ineligibility. Last week, he was awarded his first letter, in basketball, and thereby hangs our tale. When Jabby came to Michigan he ! was preceded by a reputation as one of New Jersey's finest prep basket- ball players. His baseball talent wasn't exactly a myth, either, for he possessed a strong throwing arm and' swung a powerful bat. Coach Fisher expected to utilize Jab's ability be- hind the plate, whence balls thrown like bullets were pretty handy wea- pons on a ball field. Ineligible Two Years But both Coaches Fisher and Cap- pon were doomed to disappointment, for the Jersey flash tripped up scho- lastically in his sophomore and jun- ior years. He was always on hand for the fall semester but failed to make the grade his second semester. This year, however, Jabby finally beat his old bugaboo, and proved a Smost valuable No. 6 man on the cage squad. Adept at retrieving balls off the backboard, and an excellent ball handler, he contributed materially to the Wolverines' rise in Conference cage. Jabby tried toyachieve some left-handed immortality viz.

READ THE Nothing 1S ever FOR 1936 we offer what we think is the finest car in Ford history. But no car is ever con- sidered perfect and finished as far as Ford engineers are concerned. Once a year we introduce new models-since that is the custom - but con- stantly we make improve- ments in our car, for that is our lifelong habit. We don't wait for Show time to make a better car. Proof of this is the present Ford V- 8. In basic design it is almost the same as when in- troduced four years ago. But in performance and economy perfe ct there is no comparison be- tween the 1932 and 1936 cars. Ford engineers do not work with yearly models in mind. The Ford Motor Company does not wait for introductory dates to incorporate improve- ments. As soon as exhaustive tests prove that a new mate- rial is better, into production it goes. When new machining processes or new inspection methods are proved superior in they go also. The purchasers get the ad vantage of all improvement as soon as we are certain tha they are improvements.

S t --~ Michi gan Favored To Win Third Successive Title At Indianapolis Michigan's track team will bring a highly successful indoor season to a dlose Saturday night in the Butler University field house at Indianapolis with the defense of its Butler Relays crown. Victor in the meet for two succes-, sive years, Michigan is a strong fa- vorite to repeat its former triumphs this week. Entering four relay teams, two of them defending champions, Coach Hoyt is counting onhamassing enough points in these events to take the meet. Sam Stoller will also be entered in the 60-yard dash where he is expected to take a first or sec- ond. As yet Hoyt has not decided on the make-up of his relay teams, wait- ing to see how Ben Starr and Bob Osgood recover from recent leg in- juries. He will announce today what men will make the trip and unless Osgood and Starr's injuries show de- cided improvement they may not be included. The leading squads of the Mid- West have entered the meet, includ- ing those leading the Central Inter- collegiate meet held last week at Notre Dame which the Irish won. Pittsburgh and Drake are sending stars to the meet as well as the schools of the Western Conference. Indiana, Wisconsin and Notre Dame will probably give the Wolverines the most trouble in taking a third straight title. Baseball Men Will Drill Outside Soon With the prospect of soon moving his squad outside, Coach Ray Fisher will this week make the first baseball cut of the season and reduce his infield and outfield candidates to about 15. At present the squad is drilling in the Field House with Fisher con- centrating on developing hitting strength. Hurlers are beginning to bear down now for the first time and results indicate that Michigan's strength at the plate may be consid- erably better than last year. More than 10 moundsmen are work- ing out daily, developing control and slowly rounding into the form that Fisher hopes will carry the Wol- verines successively through a hard schedule. Capt.
