By BILL REED I

"WHEN spring comes can autumn
be far behind" is the cus-
tomary paraphrase which the Michi-
gan grid coaches employ at this sea-
son. But with winter here at hand,
demonstrated no less effectively by
Herr Harry Kipke's thickest red flan-
nel shirt than by daily blizzards, the
situation becomes complicated.
However, Mr. Kipke saw fit to un-
I tangle the seasons yesterday, sending
I his grid squad through its first scrim-
mage of the spring practice period.
And what does Mr. Kipke have to
say, beyond the fact that he is suf-
fering from a head cold which these
non-zephyr-like breezes do not aid
in dispelling?
In order, Mr. Kipke has some-
thing like this to say: (1) The
material does look promising;
(2) Everybody is trying; and
(3) Everybody needs work. Be-
yond that, well, he may have
more to say next month.
It is evident, however, that Mr.
Kipke is most interested in point
three at the moment, but Michigan
grid fans cannot fail to show interest
in remarks one and two.
Both points (as well as the third)
were well demonstrated in yesterday's
scrimmage and for the second year
Michigan's grid stock is on the up-
grade.
HARVEY Patton, the diminutive
foot-racer, went through a har-
rowing experience Friday night.
Locked out of his own room, he tried
vainly to get in for an hour before
he gave up to hunt a friend, to stay
with him. Failing to find that person,
he was offered a bed by another
friend, who gave Harvey the key. to
his room, but also gave him the
wrong address.
After preparing to retire in the
wrong house, Harvey was finally per-
suaded he was in the wrong place and
returned to his left-handed bene-
factor, but found him gone. Ready
to retire on a Union lounge, he was
finally taken in by a third friend,
and managed to get his necessary
sleep.
T'S finally out-the story of Herr
Kipke's hot seat, the electric
chair which for the past three-
months has been the terror of the
athletic department. Every visitor
to the Administration Building has at
some time been given a seat in Kip-
ke's office, comfortable looking, up-
holstered chair which is the hot seat,
with an electric plate in the bottom,
connections to which are established
by resting on either arm of the chair,
Contrary to the first report,
however, the best customer on
the hot seat was not the 300-
pound Ed Vandervoort of Lan-
sing, former Michigan tackle,
but Rod Cox, former grid and
track star here and now a coach
at Cranbrook School.
Cox got the seat not just once, but
four times in a row as each time he
sat in the chair he tried to avoid the
movement which sets the voltage in
action but always managed to do it in
some manner he did not foresee. He
finally decided to remain standing.

Peter Fick (above), of the New
York Athletic Club, swam the fast-
est competitive 100-yard free-style
in history in the semi-final trials
in the men's National Indoor A.A.U.
championships in Chicago Thurs-
day night. His time of 51 sec-
onds flat equalled the best mark in
the book, set by Johnny Weismul-
ler in an exhibition in the Michigan
Union Pool in 1927.
Yearling Net
Men Praised
By Johnstone
Greatly pleased with the early
showing of several of the freshman
tennis players, Coach John John-!
stone yesterday expressed the opin-
ion that this year's squad of first
year men was "one of the best groups
we have yet had."
High in his estimation is Bill Mills
of Grosse Pointe, last year winner of
the Eastern Interscholastic Singles
championship. Mills, Coach John-
stone regards as the "best freshman
tennis player ever to come to Michi-
gan." Also ranking quite high is
Stu' Low of Brooklyn, who, with his
brother, last season captured both
the New York State and the Cape
Cod junior doubles titles.
As if these were not enough, the
prospects boast of several other
champions. Harold Bullock and Ed
Payne, both from Grand Rapids.
have each held the Michigan Inter-
scholastic singles championship. Bill
Smith, of Muskegon, and Ed Morris,
v ho hails from Youngstown, Ohio,
are also candidates for future Var-
sity teams. Morris last year held the
sectional singles championship for
the territory around Youngstown.
Coach Johnstone pointed out that
the difference between the playing of
these men and that of the Varsity
was quite easily noticeable, but with
coicentration on individual difficul-
ties, they would all be- very fine Var-
sity material.

Marshall Game'
Rudness' Improved Style'
At Plate Is Cheering To
Coach Fisher
Coach Ray Fisher announced yes-
terday that a change will be made!
in Michigan's spring training trip
schedule, which opens Friday ,be-I
cause of Marshall College's diamond
being inundated by flood waters of!
the Ohio River.
The Marshall-Wolverine game was
originally scheduled for next Satur-
day but as the Huntington, W. Va.i
field will not possibly be in playing
condition by the end of the week, the
game has been cancelled. As yet
Fisher has not been successful in
filling the date, but is endeavoring
to schedule a school in that vicinity
for a game.I
Leave Friday
The team will leave Ann Arbor
Friday morning for Delaware, Ohio,1
where it will meet Ohio Wesleyan inj
the year's opener. Unless the weath-
er takes a sudden change for the bet-E
ter, Fisher's squad will head south
with only five days of outdoor prac-
tice to their credit.
The recent work of George Rud-
ness at the plate has been especiallyj
cheering to Fisher during the pastI
few days. Rudness fractured a small
ankle bone in the last game of the
basketball season and the improve-
ment has been slow.
Develops Looseness
Last year he hit only .240, mainlyj
because he was too tense in his styleI
of hitting. In the batting cage this
week he has shown signs of develop-
ing a looseness in his swing that
should aid his batting average con-
siderably. He will be an ideal lead-
off man, if his hitting does improve.
because of his great speed and the
fact that he is short and a hard
man for the pitchers to face.j
If Rudness' average does come up
this year his chances of getting com-
pletely around the circuit will be good
with Brewer, Ferner, Uricek and
Jablonski following him in the bat-
ting order.
GOLF COURSE
The University Golf Course will
be closed until further notice.

W.A.s sTeamitle;
D.A. .Is Second
CHICAGO, April 4. 01' Jack
Medica, great star frmn Washington.,
defended the last of his three-title
assignment in the Senior Indoor Na-
tional A.A.U. championships in the
Lake Shore A.C. pool tonight by,
winning the 500-yard free-style in 51
minutes 21.5 seconds.
Medica took the lead from Ralph
Flanagan, lanky Miami, Fla., star.
after the first 100 yards, held a steady
pace until the last 25 yards, then,
turned on the steam to build up his1
final margin.
Flanagan weakened and yielded
second place to Johnny Macionis,
wiry Yale star, and just managed to
outlast Jimmy Gilhula of the De-
troit A.C., for third. Flanagan had
the tiniest sort of margin over the
fast-coming Gilhula. Tom Haynie,
Michigan freshman competing unat-
tached, was fifth.
The Lake Shore A.C. 300-yard,
medley relay team of Adolph Kiefer,
Max Brydenthal and Arthur High-
land swept to a new American record
of 2 minutes, 54.9 seconds to win the
event and clinch the team title with
31 points. The Detroit A.C. team was
second with 27, and the defending
champion New York A.C. third with
22.
Largely due to an amazing 57.8 sec-
ond performance by Kiefer in the
back-stroke, the host club finished
about 5 yards in front of the Detroit
A.C. trio. Northwestern University
was fourth.
The first record effort of the clos-
ing program was made by Mrs. El-
eanor Holm Jarrett of the Women's
Swimming Association, New York, in
the 100-yard back-stroke.
Mary Lou Petty, sturdy little free-
Seattle, Wash., outfinished the de-
fending champion, Mrs. Lenore Kight
Wingard of Cincinnati, to win the
500-yard free-style tonight and gain
her second title of the meet.
Marjorie Gestring, 13-year-old
blond miss from Los Angeles compet-
ing in her first national meet, turned
in a stunning exhibition to win the
high-board diving championship in
which the defending champion, Clau-
dia Eckert of Chicago, was dethroned.
The tiny new star worked up a total
of 145.68 points beating out Marion
Mansfield of Chicago the new lo-
board titleholder, who had 142.75.
Miss Eckert finished last.
