Chances For

Jack Kasley, Medley And
Free-Style Relay Teams
Are Defending Crowns
NEW HAVEN, March 27-(Spe-
cial) -Michigan's 13-man Varsity
swimming team goes into the 13th
Annual National Collegiate cham-
pionships here today only an even
bet to defend its title and become
winner for the seventh time in the
ten years.
Preliminaries ard finals in the
1500-meter, 50-yard and 220-yard
free-styles, the 150-yard back-stroke,
the 300-yard medley relay and the
one-meter or low-board diving events
will constitute the program for today;
with the 100-yard free-style, the
200-yard breast-stroke ,the 440-yard
free-style, the three-meter or high-
board diving and the 400-yard free-
style relay on the card for tomorrow.
Wolverines Depend On Divers
Michigan will stand or fall on her
divers, with Capt. Frank Fehsenfeld
as defending champion in both events
aided by Ned Diefendorf, Ben Grady
and Der Johnston. If this All-Ameri-
can quartet can pile up about 12
points off the two' boards, the Wol-
verines will return to Ann Arbor
champions for the third year in a
row, something they have never suc-
ceeded in being.
Jack Kasley in the 200-yard breast-
stroke and the medley and free-style
relay teams complete Michigan's de-
fending ,title-holders, with only the
free-style team expected to lose.
Michigan's greatest opposition will
come from Iowa, recent conquerors
of the Wolverines in the Big Ten
champions, Yale, champions of the
East, and Harvard. Jack Medica, if
he comes through for the third year
in a row with three first places, will
put Washington in the running.
Varsity Sure Of Other Points
With the difference between first
place and defeat resting on the per-
formances of Michigan divers, the1
remainder of the Wolverine points
are more or less sure.
Kasley will win the breast-stroke
and break his own record, and the
medley-relay trio of Kasley, Harry
Rieke, and either Bob Mowerson or
Frank Barnard should win after a
hard fight with Harvard and North-
western.
Rieke in the back-stroke is due for
at least a third, the free-style relay
quartet of Barnard, Mowerson, Erwin,
McCarty, and either Ed Drew, Dick
Blake or Paul Keeler should be good
for a third or fourth, and Barnard
should take a second in the 1500 be-
hind Medica.
Relay Trophies Are
Placed On Exhibit
The Michigan track team's But-
ler Relay trophies, won by the
Wolverines in the 1934, 1935, and
1936 Relays will be exhibited this
week in the windows of George J.
Moe sporting goods company, at
711 North University Street.
The ten trophies include the
Gov. Paul V. McNutt cup, three
Herf-Jones team trophies, and six
relay trophies. Permanent pos-
session of the McNutt trophy, sig-
nificant of team victory in the
carnival, was won by the Varsity
last week in the fourth annual
Relays at the spacious Butler Field
House in Indianapolis.
No trophieswere awarded at the
Big Ten indoor championships
which the Michigan team won two
weeks ago. I

STOVE
By BILL REED
"COME say there is and some say
there isn't," so says "Sports and
the American Golfer" in its March
issue in introducing an article by G.
H. Brande on "Athlete's Heart." And
Mr. Brande is one who says there
isn't as he quotes heart specialists
to disprove the existence of that tra-
ditional heritage of the "did for dear
old alma mater."
Mr. Brande quotes Dr. I. L.
Smith, of the celebrated Mayo
Clinic, who denies that any such
thing as abnormal cardiac hy-
pertrophy (enlargement of the
heart) has ever been observed,
saying "the normal heart is not
more likely to be injured by
strenuous exercises than is any
other organ of the body, and
participation in athletic sports
,will not produce an athletic
heart, for such an entity does
not exist."
Observations, including tests with
competitors in the gruelling twenty-
five mile Boston Marathon have
never disclosed an expanded heart,
but that on the contrary, "the hearts
tended to be smaller at the end of a
hard race than at the beginning."
Utter exhaustion there may be,
with undue breathlessness which is
one of the indications of "heart
trouble," giving rise to the summary
classification of "athlete's heart," but
actual heart dilation there is none.
Emphasis in all cases, however,
is upon the normal heart as be-
ing immune from injury, for
over-exercise may be highly in-
jurious to persons suffering from
rheumatic infection or organic
heart disease. This, according to
the view expressed at the Mayo
Clinic, "is the sole rational basis
for apprehension about athlete's
heart."
What about the sudden deaths of
athletes, then, the proof of athlete's
heart according to "them as say there
is.
Mr. Brande has his answer for that:
"We all love the dramtic, not to say
the paradoxical. One case of sudden
death remains in our minds, and we
forget about all the thousands of
other athletes who keep on turning
up at reunions until far beyond the
normal span.
"As a matter of fact the Met-
ropolitan Life InsurancegCom-
pany has shown that college ath-
letes live longer, not merely than
average people, but longer than
the expectancy for insured men.
Freshman Sprint
Relay Mark Falls.
A freshman relay team composed
of Frank Wilkinson, Ralph Rosen-
berg, Alan Smith and Roy Heath clip-
ped 1.6 seconds from the old fresh-
man indoor 880 yard relay record of
1:35.1 as they negotiated the Field
House track in 1:33.5 yesterday af-
ternoon.
The old record was held by Waldo
Abbott, Harvey Clark, Ted Grace and
Alan Smith and was also set this sea-,
son. The team ran without compe-
tition or practice in baton passing or
the time would undoubtedly have
been faster according to Coach Ken
Doherty.
TUTORED THEMSELVES
Allen Hall, three-cushion billiards
ace, and George Kelly, national pocket
billiards chaampion are the only two
contenders in any title competition
who tutored themselves on home bil-
liard tables.
Regular Nine Mile Relay Team Responsible
Wins Opening For Many Of Track Victories
P a~ ti~d G ' ~_______
Captain Larson And Gee
Lead Teammates To 7-5
Victory In Six Innings
.Taking advantage of erratic field-
ing, the Regulars on Coach Ray Fish-
er's baseball squad yesterday won
the first practice game of the sea-
son, 7-5, from the Yannigans, in six
innings.
Although both teams performed
raggedly in the field, the one pleas-
ing note in the affair was the mound
work of Capt. Berger Larson and
Ierm Fishman. Fishman, pitching
for the reserve nine, restricted the
Regulars to two hits in the three in-
nings he worked, but yielded four
rins due to faulty play behind him.
Larson Effective
Larson and Gee divided the pitching
duties for the Varsity and the former
justified Coach Fisher's recent state-
ment that he was already fit to pitch
a full game. Gee, however, must
definitely improve before working
nine innings. Ed Andronik started
for the Yannigans but was not par-
ticularly effective.
Larson took it easy in the first
frame and bore down in the next
two following Fisher's instructions,
and the results were as expected. The
Yannigans got two hits in the first
inning and thanks to severalserrors
scored all five of their runs. Les
Brauser, reserve catcher, drove in
three men when he doubled down the
right field foul line with the bases
loaded. Larson then proceeded to
fan Radford and Andronik to end
the scoring spree and prove to the re-
serves that he was in full control
of the situation.
The Regulars shoved over three
runs in their half of the first, touch-
ing Andronik for three hits. Don
Brewer got the first one, a single to
center, and because of Manny Slavin's
missing a shoe-string catch, managed
to circle the bases on the blow.
Go Out In Order
The Yannigans were retired in
order in the second and had a man
on first in the third by virtue of a
walk. Otherwise they did not threat-
en Larson. The Regulars collected a
hit in each of the next two innings
but couldn't score again until the
fourth.
Gee went to the hill for the Reg-
ulars in the fourth and pitched the
last three innings. He gave one hit
in each frame. The Regulars scored
their four other runs in the fourth
with Larson and Brewer getting hits.
A walk and a pair of errors helped
the Regulars' cause and put the year's
first practice tilt on ice. Fishman
exhibited fine control in the fifth and
sixth innings and did not give any
hits in that time.
With another week and a half of
practice before the spring trip Fisher
expects the Varsity to round into
winning fo'rm. The team he used as
Regulars yesterday is considered like-
ly to be in the main the team that
will start the-opener. Jablonski was
behind the plate with Joe Lerner, Don
Brewer, Steve Uricek and Carl Fer-
ner forming the infield. In the out-
field, Kremer was in left, Rudness
center and Heyliger in right. Of these
men Lerner, Ferner, Rudness and
Heyliger are the only veterans.
RATED ONE OF BEST
Bill Bevan, Tulane's new football,
line coach, is considered bysmost ex-
perts as the greatest linesman de-
veloped at Minnesota under the re-
gime of Bernie Bierman.
Four times in the last year the
Michigan track team has gone into
the final event of its four most im-
portant meets b hind in points an
every time the Varsity one-mile re-
lay eam as come through to win its
specialty and "give" the meet to the
Wolverines.
SAlthough Coach Charlie Hoyt has
used five diflerent combinations this
year in the Michigan A.A.U. meet.
Indiana, Ohio State, Big Ten, and
Butler Relays, Michigan has yet to
be beaten and the times have been
below 3:25 minutes in all five meets.
To say that this is an exceptional
record is an understatement of fact.
It was in the last meet of the 1935
season, the Big Ten outdoor cham-
pionships ,that the quartet began its
winning tradition. Trailing Jesse
Owens and the Ohio State squad by
a half point, Fred Stiles, Harvey Pat-
ton, Frank Aikens, and Stan Birle-
son not only finished ahead of the
Buckeyes to win the meet, but ran
the event in 3:15.2 for the fastest mile
relay time ever recorded east of the
Pacific coast.
This season the same quartet, with
Bob Osgood and Steve Mason run-
ning when needed, came back to
eclipse the 1935 performance. Be-
ginning with the Michigan A.A.U.
carnival in February, when it bested
the Pittsburgh relay team in 3:24.4,
the Wolverines have come through
regularily every week.
Behind with but the relay to go, the
Michigan team left the Hoosiers far
behind with a time of 3:24.4 to win
the event and meet. The next week
the quartet, with Bob Osgood run-
Record Crowd Is
Expected For Louis,
SchmelingSlugfest
NEW YORK, March 26. - (R) -
The time and the place have yet to
be named definitely for the forth-
coming heavyweight joust between
Joe Louis and Max Schmeling, but
Michael Strauss Jacobs, the Twen-
tieth Century Club promoter, already
had slightly over $50,000 in cash from
ticket seekers and orders involving
nearly $100,000 more from fistic fol-
lowers who do their spring shopping
early.
This development, virtually three
months in advance of a bout that
probably will be held in the Yankee
Stadium, New York, June 17 or 18,
prompted Jacobs to become extra-
ordinarily optimistic today and pre-
dict the "gate" will go well over
the $1,000,000 mark. Unless there's
a bearish reaction along Cauliflower
Row some time in the next three
months, the fight probably will set an
all-time high for New York, exceed-
ing the "gate" of $1,188,000 for the
Dempsy-Firpo match in 1923 at the
Polo Grounds.
Jacobs is not in the habit of over-
estimating. He scaled his "house"
for the Louis-Baer fight last Sep-
tember for a "top" of about $600,-
000. It drew total receipts in excess
of $1,000,000 and established the
Brown Bomber as the biggest fistic
card since Jack Dempsey.
LOUISVILLE REPRESENTED
For 10 years Louisville, Kentucky's
metropolis had no representative on
the State University's basketball
team. Now there are five on the
squad, three on the first quintet.
