WEDNESDAY, DEC. 1$, 1936 'TIlE MICHIGAN DAILY rAG E THUE19' Chi Psi's 13 Points Take Fraternity Wrestling Champii ornship Six-Man Tennis Teams Place Coach Johnstone On The Spot e . Theta Xi Gets. Second Place By Single Point Psi Upsilon And Theta Chi Tip Fn Thipd With Eitht Our Greatest Athlete By CARL GERSTACKER When Big Ten athletic directors, at their meeting in Chicago last week, passed rulings giving Michigan the Conference tennis meet this spring and provided for six-man teams at the tourney instead of the usual four- man teams, they put Coach John Johnstone and his Wolverine netters! on the proverbial spot. For years, the lament of the Mich- igan tennis players and coaches has been that the playing conditions down on Ferry Field were anything but ideal and that our teams which always have six or eight good play- ers and no outstanding stars would do much better if they could play six singles matches instead of four. First Six-Man Meet The passing of this motion, which' incidentally was seconded by Ath- letic Director Fielding H. Yost, mak- ing this Big Ten meet the first six- man affair in Conference history, and the probability that the matches will be played on Palmer Field in-, stead of Ferry Field puts the matter squarely up to the Wolverines. They must make a better showing than they have ever done before if they are going to show that their com- plaints about the four-man teams were not merely alibis for losing ag- gregations. Northwestern Loses Star On paper, Coach Johnstone's pro- teges do seem to have a better chance this year. Captain Miller Sherwood, Ted Thorward, Jarvis Dean, Jesse Flick and Neil Levenson are return- ing lettermen from last year's squad that placed third in the Conference. Billy Mills, star of last year's fresh- manbsquad and touted as the one of the best tennis prospects ever to en- ter Michigan, will also be fighting for a place along with Ed Paine, number two man on last season's yearlings. On the other side of the fence, Northwestern, last year's Big Ten champions were weakened consider- Pre pare Busy I-M Program For New Year Net Tourney Completed; Basketball Starts Monday After Vacation Period OUR CASH AWARD,$ Is Now....10 at the CAMPUS SQUARE GUN CLUB 611 EAST WILLIAM STREET "The recreation that has a bang" OPEN DURING CHRISTMAS VACATION i ably when Don Leavens, sophomore e 1 1ror1 I A w iL r ig ti star and probable number one man Points Apiece decided to transfer to California, leaving only the Ball brothers, George Chi Psi Lodge annexed the honors and Russell, and Dick Rugg to carry; on for the Purple. in the anneal Inter-Fraternity With Leavens gone, Chicago, with- Wrestling tournament last night at out the loss of a man from their team the Intramural Building. The win- which finished a very close second to ners compiled 13 points, based on a Northwestern last year, would rank as top heavy favorites to cop the title under a four-man team system. Nor- man Bickle, Big Ten singles cham- pion and Norman Burgess, their number two man are almost certain to win their singles and doubles matches. Have Better Chance However with six singles matches being played this year, the Wolver- ine netters can better afford to lose the number one and two singles since they should be stronger than the other Big Ten teams in the fifth and sixth positions. It's up to Coach Johnstone and his tennis players now-the meet is on their home grounds, they have most of their lettermen back and they've won their fight for six-man teams. It's up to them to justify the change by walking off with the Big Ten championship. Chelso Tomagno, Professional Joins Cagers Chelso Tomagno, captain of the Michigan basketball team last year, has cast his lot with a group of pro- fessional cagers in Chicago, his home town. Tomagno plays for the Brandt Florals in the Windy City league, and opened the season last night playing against Sid Rosenthal, Iowa's cage captain last year. system of five for first place and three for the runner-up. Theta Xi placed second with nine points, winning by a narrow margin over Psi Upsilon and Theta Chi, who scored eight points apiece. Whittemore, of Psi Upsilon, wast- ed little time in his bout with Son- neborn of Theta Chi, pinning him in the startling time of 44 seconds to win the 125-pound crown. Sonneborn was willing, but he fell before the greater experience of his rival, who pinned him with a bar arm and a wrist lock. Weir Is Outstanding Ranny of Theta Chi defeated Chap- man of Psi Upsilon to win the cham- : pionship of the 135-pounders. The outstanding match of the evening occurred when Weir of Theta Xi met Comins, Alpha Kappa Lambda star. The two boys exhibited an excellent knowledge of the holds and escapes. Both held the advantage, but Weir was definitely superior and threw his opponent in 3:15. Blake, representing Lambda Chi Alpha, put on an exciting bout with Jacobson of Sigma Phi at 155-1 pounds. The bout was brief butl filled with action with both boys eager for the fray, Jacobson scoring a fall in 2:37. l ( Platt Wins Platt, of Chi Psi,ssurpassed his predecessor, Whitmore by gaining a fall over his opponent, Ellsworth in 40 seconds. The match had scarcely gotten under way, when Platt slammed his man-to the mat to score a victory. Kennicott of Chi Psi was declared the winner and ruler of the 175- pounder by virtue of a default. Jack Brennan of Phi Gamma Delta scored a decisive victory over Smith of Chi Psi. Although, his time ad- vantage was only 2 :11, he held the upper hand throughout the match. Chi Psi supplants Delta Upsilon as the fraternity wrestling champs and will add the winner's share, 100 points, to their total towards the All- Year Trophy. Herber Wins 'Pro' Honors As Passer NEW YORK, Dec. 15.-(P)-The Green Bay Packers can boast of the outstanding individual performer of the season as well as the champion- ship of the National Professional football league. Statistics given out today for the 1936 12-game season merely amount- ed to a formal announcement that forward passing honors were won by Arnold (Flash) Herber of the Pack- ers. He has been "in the bag" for some time. Ed Tesic of the Pittsburgh Pirates finshed second to Herber. A 4 - Associated Press Photo Jesse Owens, Ohio State's "Ebony Antelope," raced in first again when he was voted the outstand- ing athlete of 1936 by the Asso- ciated Press. Ohio's track team will miss Jesse's record-breaking per- formances this spring. LM Standings Shows S.A.M. Well In Lead Since the start of interfraternity athletic competition this fall Sigma Alpha Mu, starting off with a bang, has led the pack in the Intramural standings without once dropping be- hind. Garnering a total of 390 points in all sports competed in to date, they nave a healthy margin of 18 markers between them and the next team, Phi Kappa Psi, with 372. Following the Phi Psi's comes Theta Xi with 344 points and close behind is Theta Chi, speedball title winner, with 342 points. Chi Psi, 14 pointsrbelow this was 328 seems to be quite alone in fifth place as Psi Up- silon, having collected 307 points is some distance out of the first divi- sion of the 10 highest. Runner-up to Theta Chi in speed- ball, Delta Upsilon has a two-point margin over the volleyball champs, Lambda Chi Alpha. The D.U.'s have a total of 301 while Lambda Chi Al- pha has 299. Chi Phi, with 298 ap- pears to be coming up with only one point separating it from the 299 of Lambda Chi's. Holding down the tenth place in the standings, which includes all the forty-odd fraternities, is Kappa Sig- ma. Their 266 leaves them a com- fortable distance from the eleventh team and also quite a ways from the ninth place squad. Helen Stephens Is No. I Woman Star NEW YORK, Dec. 15.-()-Helen Stephens, the Fulton, Mo., flash who streaked down the Olympic 100- meter stretch in 11.4 seconds and broke all records for the metric cen- tury, was acclaimed the year's No. I woman athlete today in the sixth annual poll conducted by the Asso- ciated Press. Miss Stephens' spectacular solo dash and the swift anchor leg she ran on the winning 400-meter Olym- pic relay quartet crowned previous performances at home where she won three National A.A.U. champion- ships, the 100-meter dash, discus throw and shotput. Here's a Royal Gift I for a Prince of a Fellow - 6 W x Suede Jackets 1 All Colors - All Styles - By McGregor, at a special price $1050 Rayon Silk Lined% With vacation just a few days off, the Intramural department is keep- ing as busy as the proverbial paper hanger, trying to organize teams, make out schedules, run off finals and in general, get things in perfect order! for the heavy January month. The All-Campus tennis tourna- ment, which drew the large number of entries it always does, was finally completed Monday after running since the start of the semester. Doug Gregory defeated Harry Kasabach in two straight sets 6-3, 6-4 to cop the title. Another activity that will be moved out of the way before the holidays is fraternity handball. This sport, al- so in the final stage, will see Phi Beta Delta pitting mitts against Al- pha Kappa Lambda for the cham- pionship. Phi Beta Delta has al- ways shown power in this game and is favored to win. Basketball, which usually draws the largest number of intramural contestants will be ready to start the Monday following vacation. With about 40 independent teams, 48 class' A fraternity teams and 28 class B fraternity squads entered, each team, which is placed in a league, will play one practice game with a team from another league during the first week. The schedule is expected to have actual tourney play started by the second week in January. The All- Stars, Chi Psi, and Sigma Alpha Ep- silon, are the defending champions in the respective divisions. One final activity, which will be limited to the fraternities, is bowling, starting right after vacation. All matches will be played at the Union{ alleys and points will be given forj the different places.
