DWIN of Indiana was
:23.1 to take the best
time in Friday's 220-yard low-hurdle
trials, but the catch was the fact that
the starter's gun was loaded with
smokeless powder and the timers were
late in starting their watches.
Baldwin came through with a
fourth in the finals to give Indiana
one of its unexpected places that
helped the Hoosiers to their throne.
Dan Caldemeyer with a third in the
high jump and Merle Shoemaker with
a tie for second in the pole vault were
others of the Indiana team that rose
to the occasion to assist Don Lash,
Tommy Deckard and Jimmy Smith.
A cry of astonishment went up
from the crowd of 14,000 when the
low-hurdlers came out of the shelt-
ered shute and six men sprinted into
sight with Jesse Owens, world's record
htolder nowhere to be seen. It seems
chat Owens had lost his stride on the
first three barriers. He came from
oehind with a burst of speed after the
last hurdle to beat Michigan's Os-
good to the tape.

A CLICK of an amateur camera-
A man's shutter just before the gun

scene.
For the first time in their long
series of clashes Owens beat Sammy
Stoller of Michigan from the start-
ing holes, but Sam came back at the
20-yard mark to pass Owens for the
first time in his career. Owens, how
ever, went on to win by two feet.
The "Ebony Antelope" turned to
Stoller after the finish and said only,
"Thanks."

TOLLER, known as the "Crooning
Canonball," has a rival in George
O'Brien, Ohio State's mile star, who
also is a singer of no little ability.
O'Brien obliged at a get-together we
attended after the meet with a ren-
dition of "When Irish Eyes Are Smil-
ing" that was a knockout.
O'Brien was caught by his timer in
the mile run at 4:15, six full seconds
better than he had ever done before.
But the price was high, as O'Brien
took only fifth and was forced to
withdraw from the half mile when
second place and four points were in
sight for him.
His teammate and winner of the'
half, Charlie Beetham, is one of the
best-liked athletes at Ohio State. And
it's no wonder he ran the fastest 880
turned in this year-he has never
been seen taking anything as strong
as a Coca Cola.
Nineteen 'M's'
Announced At
Team Banquet
Harrison Church Selected
As Manager; Thirteen
Get Minor Awards
By ROY HEATH
Bob Osgood, '37E, of Lakewood,'
O., Big Ten high hurdle's champion,
will captain Michigan's track team
for the season of 1936-37, according
to an announcement made last night
at the annual team banquet at the
Union. Osgood succeeds Captain
Frank Aikens, of Sioux Falls, South
Dakota.
Harrison Church, '37, of Elkhart,
Ind., was announced as the Varsity
track manager to succeed Boyd Allen,
'36E, of Milwaukee, Wis.
Also announced yesterday were the
names of the 19 men who will receive
track M's and the thirteen men who
will receive secondary awards.
Was State Champion
Osgood came to Michigan in 1933
after the completion of an outstand-
ing high school track career. In his
senior year he was state high hurdles
champion,, taking the event in 15.8
seconds.
Osgood, as a freshman, was the
hurdle talent of what has been termed
by Coach Chuck Hoyt as the greatest
freshman track team ever to come to
Michigan. In his sophomore year he
proved himself by winning the in-
door Big Ten high hurdles event.
This year Osgood was nosed out by
Dan Caldemeyer, Indiana hurdle ace,
in the indoor event but came back at
Columbus to take the Conference out-
door title as he negotiated the tim-
bers in 14.2 seconds to tie the official
world's record.
Is Quarter-Miler
Besides being the number one tim-
ber topper of the team, Osgood has
the ability to be a great quarter-
miler. He has several times been part
of Michigan's great mile relay team.
The most spectacular of his races was
the rough and tumble leg he ran at
the Butler Relays in his sophomore
year to put the Wolverines in the lead.
His greatest race in the opinion of
experts was the night he anchored
the Michigan team home, winner by
inches over a powerful University of
Pittsburgh quartette in this year's
Michigan A.A.U. indoor carnival. Os-
good also ran a great third leg at the
Penn Relays a few weeks ago.
Win Letters
Among the recipients of letters are
three consistent point winners who
will be lost to Coach Chuck Hoyt by
graduation. They are Capt. Frank
Aikens, Sioux Falls, S. D.; Harvey
Patton, Detroit, and Widmer Etchells,
of Trenton, N. J., twice Conference
discus champion.
Other letter winners are Stan Birle-
son, Muskegon Heights; Clayton
BrelsfordsBirmingham; Howard Da-
vidson, Grand Rapids; Nelson Droul-
ard, St. Clair; Leonard Dworsky, Chi-
cago; Ray Fink, Spencer, N. C.; Steve
Mason, Grosse Pointe; Morris Mor-
gan, Youngstown, O.; Robert Osgood,
Lakewood, O.; William Staehle, East
Rutherford, N. J.; Ben Starr, Gary,
Ind.; Fred Stiles, Grand Rapids; Sam
Stoller, Cincinnati; Walter Stone,
Lynbrook, N. Y.; Ed Stone, Detroit,
and John Townsend, Indianapolis.
Secondary awards go to Ed. Devine,
Ann Arbor; Joe Fisher, Ann Arbor;
Paul Gorman, Buffalo; Charles Hib-
bard, Detroit; Moreau Hunt, Alpena;

Miller, Petoskey; Harry O'Connell,

'Gas HMouse Gang'
Is Monicker Given
To Scrappy Nine
By FRED DELANO
Ray Fisher's hard hitting ball club I
may technically be known as the
Michigan Wolverines, but to the rest
of the Big Ten they have become
famed this season as a scrappy, um-
pire heckling miniature edition of
the "gas house gang," a "monicker"
that was first applied to the St. Louis
Cardinals.
When the season opened it ap-
peared that Fisher had just another
bunch of mediocre, would-be stars on
his roster. When they whipped six,
teams on the Southern tour they be-
gan to look like a real ball club. When
they started coming back at the um-
pires with hot objections on close
plays called against them and fight-
ing for every ball game, Fisher knew
he had a title contender.
They were first dubbed the "gas
house gang" at Illinois a week ago
when they treated the Illini fans to
a real showing of how umpires should
be informed of their mistakes. In fact
they performed so ably that the umps
ejected Merle Kremer, slugging left
fielder, from the first game in the
ninth inning.
They really hit their peak Friday at
'Northwestern, however, when Coach
Fisher led the parade of assault after
several obviously poor decisions. And
anyone who thinks Fisher is not one
of the best when it comes to umpire
" heckling should devote an afternoon
to listening to the Michigan mentor
"ride the umps" when the decisions
are breaking against his charges.
More than a decade of umpire tongue
lashing in the major leagues saw to
Ray's becoming an expert in this field.
When the umpire calling them from
behind the plate at Northwestern bel-
lowed "strike" on a pitch to Steve
Uricek which even the fans admitted
was high, the entire Michigan team
rose to protest. Said the ump after
listening to their protests "sit down
Fisher, I've heard of you." "Yea?"
retorted the Michigan manager, "well
I've never heard of you."
