THURSDAY, APRIL 2, 1936 THE MICHIGAN DAILY Hold Se4 Correct Form In All Events To Be Shown Entire Michigan Squad To Stage Meet For Benefit Of VisitingTrackmnen Intermittent snow flurries and con- tinued cold kept the Michigan track team within the Field House for the second consecutive day yesterday, but Coach Chuck Hoyt took advantage of the bad weather to get ready for the second annual Track and Field Clinic to be held here Saturday. The clinic, attended by high school trackmen and coaches throughout the state, will commence at 10:30 a.m. with a motion picture display in Natural Science Auditorium conduct- ed by David L. Holmes, track coach of Wayne University. The movies will show events of the Olympic games, held at Los Angeles in 1932, and also action shots of- the great college track stars of today. Holmes will accompany the pictures with comments on the various events and the varieties of form shown. Coaches Demonstrate Events" The actual athletic clinic will get underway :at 1:30 p.m. with high school and college coaches demon- strating particular events. Sprint anddistance relays, high jump, broad jump, hurdles, pole vault and shot put will be analyzed and the various styles of each explained. The entire Michigan squad will put on an" exhibition meet at 2:30 p.m. in the Field House, demonstrating to the visiting coaches and athletes just why the Wolverines have per- ennially great track teams. Coach Hoyt will summarize the discussion during the exhibition meet and com- ment on the individual events. Stoller Shows Speed Moreau Hunt, Sam Stoller, Harvey Patton, Jack Uhl, and Bill Watson spent a good part of the afternoon at the end of the indoor track yes- terday practicing starts out of the blocks. Stoller gave the others a handicap of about two yards and displayed the speed which he is able to get with his unorthodox start by passing the field within 20 yards. San White was putting the shot along with Johnny Townsend and Bill Watson and although his 163 pounds do, not give him the same power as the larger boys, he was do- ing almost 43 feet. Hoyt expects White to do a good deal better when his fingers become strong enough to get some snap into his puts saying that White's form is almost perfect now. Greene Wins A.A.U. Diving Championship CHICAGO, April 1. - (/P) - Al Greene, veteran Lake Shore A. C. diver, gave a brilliant exhibition in the optionals to win the low board title, his first major championship. Greene piled up a total of 156.69 points, giving him a wide margin over Marshal Wayne of Miami, Fla., who was second with 144.65. Dick Degener, Detroit A. C., was third with 141.98, and Jimmy Patterson, Ohio State's Big Ten champion, had 136.85 for fourth. Dynamic Jack Medica of the Uni- versity of Washington and the Wash- ington A.C., of Seattle, Wash., con- quered his great Miami, Fla., rival, Ralph Flanagan, in the 1,500 meters free style in 19 minutes, 6.8 seconds. Claudia Eckert, tall Chicago all- around girl athlete, boiled through the water in 1 minute, 2.5 secondE to win the National Senior Women's A.A.U. indoor 100-yard free style championship by the narrowest 01 margins over Mary Lou Petty of the Washington A.C., Seattle, Wash. Katherine Rawls, the Miami, Fla., Swimming Club's great all-around swimming star, cut her own Ameri- can mark for the 300-yard individua: medley from 4 minutes 8.1 seconds, to 4:06.3. cond Annual Track Clinic Here Saturday ion To Feature Coaches' Meeting ___._ !n Ii The HOT STOVE Phi Kappa Psi Tracksters Win' Jump Eliminat Basketball By BILL REED _II ;_-, I I) FOLLOWING lively comment con- sidesha throw of 48 feet, 11ainches cerningth relative track strength in the shot, Watson's marks of 23 I of the classes of 1937 and 1939, Ken Doherty has gone to the little brown notebook which holds so many of Michigan's coaching secrets to bring out comparative times and distances for a dual meet between the two classes, based on the best records of the two classes made in freshmen competition. On the basis of these records, the Class of 1937, led by Stan Birleson, Sam Stoller, Bob Os- good, Clayt Brelsford, Howard Davidson and Walter Stone gets a 562 to 47V.2 decision over the present freshmen, led by Bill Watson, Alan Smith and Roy Heath. Although the score is close, the present juniors can point out that there is little chance for the 1939 trackmen to equal their rec- ord of nine point-winners in their first Conference meet. The present freshmen may offer three point-winners in their Confer- ence meet, but little more. As might be expected from the showing of the present Varsity, it1 is in the field events that the fresh- men clean up, but it is not for the sole reason that the juniors were lacking in strength. For Bill Wat- son, the Saginaw foundry worker, was the winner in three of the four field events with distances which would have guaranteed points in a Conference meet, his shot put mark being enough to win that event. Be- Frosh Boxers Finish Season In Fast Show feet, 11% inches in the broad jump and 5 feet, 11% inches in the high jump were winners. Both teams were credited with a slam, the freshmen in the broad jump with Alan Smith and Clark behind Watson, and the juniors in the mile, which Harry O'Connell, point winner in his first Conference meet, won with a best time of 4:33.9, followed by Walter Stone and Sanford Ladd. In the track events the juniors were most closely pressed in the half-mile and hurdles events. In the half Harold Davidson was a second slower than Clayt Brelsford's 1:59.8, but at that was more than two sec- onds better than brother Howdie, who ran second last winter in his first Conference meet and who has since been a mainstay of the team. In the hurdles Bob Osgood, 1935 Conference champion indoors, was slightly better than Stewart, a first- semester freshmen who- ran :08.6 in the 65-yard highs and :07.7 in the lows. Roy Heath and Alan Smith of the present first-year class, de- spite their promise, could get no better than third in the quarter- mile as they ran :51.8, slower than Fred Stiles' :51.6 and Stan Birleson's freshman standard of :51.5. In the dash Heath and Smith also were forced down by Sam Stoller's best time of :06.3 and Fred Stile's :06.5, which both the present yearlings equalled. The relay points went to the pres- ent freshmen on the basis of their freshman record of 3:29.1 by Faulk- ner, Davidson, Rosenberg, and Heath, but the class of 1937 would protest that decision with a team which could have been composed of Cap- tain Frank Aikens, Fred Stiles, Bob Osgood and Stan Birleson. Paper records don't mean a thing, and the relative strength of the two classes remains a moot point, but every Michigan track follower is look- ing forward to the combining of the strength of the two squads on the 1937 Varsity.

The program arranged by boxing instruc- tor Verne Larson consisted of 'eight freshman matches and one exhibi- tion bout. Opening the show, Maurice Simmon won a close decision over Richard Waldenmeyer in the bantamweight division. In the other fight in this division, which was the feature of the afternoon, Mike Bowler, Filipino and All-Campus bantamweight cham- pion, defeated Ellman Service in a fine boxing exhibition. Ostich Bests Leopold The two fastest matches on the program saw Nathan Ostich, charging middleweight bomber, batter a game rival, Ben Leopold, into submission to gain an easy decision; and Harold Friedman, present middleweight champion, outpoint the hard-fighting Bob Trowell with a barrage of timely punches. Friedman and Ostich gave the best exhibition of offensive fight- ing of any of the entrants in the show. In the only lightweight battle listed, the burly Dexter Rosen staved off a! number of wild punches from his op- ponent, Van Wolfe, and managed to! land enough effective ones of his own to give him the decision. Welters In Slow Bout In the welterweight division, both fighters employing cautious tactics got off to a slow start, but the de- cision was given to the more ex- perienced Hugh McCormick over Dick Sharlarsky. The featherweight cham-! pion, Joe Forcier, again succeeded in winning over his rival, Leon Wolfe, by one of the closest decisions ren- dered during the show. The only heavyweight fight sched- uled on the program gave Don Siegal, two hundred pound freshman tackle, the decision over Jack Peters, another contender in previous freshman matches.
