THlE I4iCiliIAN DAILY The Wolverines To Defend Title At Butler Relays Today PRESS ANGLE Lmaa By GEORGE J. A I3GWi 4 (Tally Spart. UuIWm Caustic Comments ... BIGGEST LAUGH of the week from the sports columns of thek University of Washington (Seattle) News with its publication of an all- American basketball team selected by A. A. Schabinger, former Creigh- ton coach and past president of the National Basketball Coaches Associa- tion. Schabinger's first team boasts such men as Luisetti of Stanford, Moir of Notre Dame and Young of Purdue at forwards, Notre Dame's Nowak and N.Y.U.'s Teriensen at center and Orebaugh of Drake, Noble of Kansas, and Rolek of Minnesota.1 The second team had an L.I. man, the Big Ten's Combes, Downey, and Gunning, two boys from the Big Six and a gent from the Southwest. Of course I hate .to criticize any- one who will even attempt an all- American team, but I hope my read- ers will excuse us if I mention that this one stinks. All this is in a trans- Mississippi conglomeration with a' couple of big names thrown in. And I don't think much of the big names. Glen Downey didn't rate a single all- Big Ten team I know of. In fact he rarely made honorable mention. Gun-I ning was definitely second team ma- terial. I've seen the Missouri Valley Conference from which Schabinger picked up a good part of his team and most of its teams couldn't beat a well-coached high school five. And it isn't just patriotism that makes me wonder why Jake Town- send, the Conference's best ball play- er, isn't even mentioned. But what really gets me is the Washington News sports editor's comment that he can't understand why they rave about Big Ten dominence when that Con- ference didn't do so well in the Olym- pic eliminations. He forgot to check with record books. Northwestern and Minnesota are the only Big Ten teams that entered that pseudo-na- tional tournament. Anyway, he should have turned up when Michi- gan beat his Bears two out of three last Christmas. Varsity Track Squad Favored Over Hoosiers 18 Man Team Will Seek Fourth Consecutive Title In Indianapolis Meet INDIANAPOLIS, Ind., March 19.- (Special to The Daily)-The leading track and field stars of the Mid-West were gathering here today for their annual attempt to dethrone Michi- gan as -Butler Relays champion, an attempt that most observers here be- lieve will meet its usual doom when I the teams clash tomorrow night. Coach Charles B. Hoyt arrived here late this afternoon with his 18- man squad and if victorious will take the championship trophy back to Ann Arbor for the fourth consecutive year. Indiana and Ohio State are ex- pected to prove the biggest barrierst in Michigan's drive for another crown. Hoyt announced today that Steve Mason, Howard Davidson, Capt. Bob Osgood and Stan Birleson would make up the Wolverine mile relay team with the result that Michigan is a decided favorite to repeat as winner in this event. It was this quartet that ran 3:19.8 against Ohio State three weeks ago. On the two mile relay team, also a defending champion, will be Ed De Vine, Harold Davidson, Howard Da- vidson and Clayt Brelsford running in that order. Neree Alix, Harold Davidson, Ray Fink and Brelsford make up the four mile team. In the medley Harvey Clark, Harry O'Con- nell, Paul Pinkerton and Bill Staehle will carry the baton for the Wolver- ines. In this event the legs are 440- yards, 880, three-quarters of a mile and one mile.I Sammy Stoller is expected to winI the 60-yard dash with Alan Smith close behind, battling Indiana's Bob Collier for second place. Osgood is also running in both the high and low hurdles while Mason will also run in the lows with Martens and other Michigan entries in the highs. Bill Watson will hold the spotlight in the shot put as he endeavors to establish a new Butler record of bet- ter than 50 feet. His best effort of the year was last week's 50 feet 4 1/4 To Seek New Laurels Tankers Defend Interscholastic Crowns Today Battle Creek High School To Defend Class A Title For Seventh Time The University of Michigan is host this week-end to the ~14th Annual In- terscholastic Swimming Champion-. ships.

That's News To Him By TOM PHARES Ray Fisher, varsity baseball coach and one time major league baseball player, just recently found out the fact that he is a co-holder of a ma- jor league record. Although he didn't know it, the records credit him and Walter Johnson with the combined feat of having struck out more men in one game than any other opposing hurlers in the history of the Ameri- can League. In 1914,at New York, the Yankees were playing the Washington Sen- ators with Fisher on the hill for the Yanks and the "Big Train" working for Washington. On this particular afternoon, Johnson fanned 14 men while Fisher struck out nine for a total of 23 victims to go down on strikes. This only happened on one other occasion and that in 1901 in the National League with Frank Hahn of Cincinnati and Vic Willis of Boston turning the trick. Once Fanned Eleven "I remember one game against Cappon Favors Trial Of Rule Bringing Center Jump Change By RAY GOODMAN An attitude ranging somewhere be- tween resignation and mild satisfac- tion was the impression we got after speaking to Cappy Cappon on his re- turn from the Big Ten and National basketball coaches meeting. i 1 Cappy's attitude toward the elim- ination of the center jump, which was so neatly accomplished last week, was a willingness to give it a chance for a year and see what happens. To our surprise he didn't seem to think that the absence of the tip-off would make a whole lot of difference to his Michigan team. The way we had looked at it was that, with Johnny Gee graduating, the Wolverines were going to have trouble getting the jump, despite the ability of Danny Smick and Jimmy Rae, freshman center, and with the tip out Michigan was getting the break. But Cappy feels that, either way, he and his boys are in about the same condition. One thing Cappy did bring back with him was the news of a second change that has been overlooked so far. This concerned the length of the floor. Following the dimensions of the West coast's hardwood plat- forms, two extra feet have been add- ed under each basket. The idea of the additional length is that players going up on follow-in play won't be landing outside w~hen they come down. This should eliminate a little of the whistle blowing and keep the play going. Cappon feels that the best thing that could be done is to leave the rules alone for a few years and let everyone get used to the present ones. Every two years someone has been getting the modernizing urge and becomes destructive or overly con- structive. Just what will happen next year with regard to the center-jump elim- ination is hard to say. At the past meeting a few of the Big Ten coaches wanted the elimination badly, the others were willing to give it a chance but made the more enthusiastic sup- porters realize that the new rule was definitely just on trial. PHILLIE REGULARS WIN WINTER HAVEN, Fla., March 19. --UP)-The Phillies regulars, aided by errors, took an early four-run lead to defeat the Yannigans, 6 to 3, in a six-inning intra-camp game to- day. HEY, JOE- Have you seen the billfolds down at Rider's? They are all genuine leather, and from 50c to $8.00! Captain Bob Osgood, hurdler ex- traordinary, and Sam Stoller, Michigan's ace sprinter, will head Coach Chuck Hoyt's tracknmen at the Butler Relays tonight. Os- good will represent the Wolverines in the mile relay and the hurdles, while Stoller will star in the 60- yard dash. Handball Stars Play Informal Matches Here Games At I-M Tomorro ( Are To Raise Interest In Inter-City Contests Washington when I struck out 11 or 12," said Ray when questioned about this record, "but I never like to re-' member the times I pitched against Walter."' With conversation swiftly working down to the present, Ray was .cau- tiously asked whether anyone stood a chance of stopping the Yankees' this year. "It doesn't look like it but you can't tell until things begin and the clubs shape up a little more," said Fisher evading the issue neatly. "However, if this club over here (Detroit) can come uphwith one good rookie pitcher along with the return of Hank Greenberg, they'll go places." Doubtful About York Someone then expressed the hope that Rudy York will stick at third since he showed good hitting in the minors, only to be promptly dis- couraged when Ray observed that "how he hit in the minors doesn't mean much. There he sees about one good pitcher a series," he continued, "and the best pitcher he faces is just a little poorer than the poorest pitcher in the majors. Some fellows just go right on hitting but others can't make it. The pitching in the majors has that extra something which is lacking in the minor leagues." ----. * * * CHASERS: Earl Thomas, the Var- sity's 135-pound Big Ten cham- pion, is training down, to 126 for the National Intercollegiates this week- end . . .

LANSING GAINS FINALS FLINT, March 19.-()-Lansing St. Mary's defending champions in Class C. became the first team to gain the finals of the annual tourna- ment of the Michigan High School Athletic Association, here, tonight, scoring a 30 to 28 victory in over- time over Kalamazoo's scrappy St. Augustine quintet. inches which was good Ten record. for a new Big Bridges Is Sick As Tigers Start Practice Games LAKELAND, Fla., March 19.-(A)-- The Detroit Tigers begin their Grape- friut League season tomorrow against the Cincinnati Reds, but missing from the line-up will be little Tommy Bridges, ace hurdler. Bridges, whom Manager Mickey Cochrane had planned to use in the exhibition opener, is in a Miami hos- pital for treatment of an ailment at first described as hernia but later reported as only a sprain. The Tiger moundsman, most fit of any of the Detroit pitchers, was stricken during a workout yesterday. He complained of "cramps" and went to Miami at the suggestion of owner Walter A. Briggs. His physician said he could leave the hospital tomorrow and should be able to resume training at Lakeland soon. The hurler himself was cheer- ful. Approximately 50 handballplay- ers from Y.M.C.A.s and other city clubs throughout the. state will be guests of the Intramural department Sunday afternoon in an informal get- to-gether at the I-M courts, titled by the department a "Handball Fo- rum." The gathering, the first of its kind in the state, follows on the heels of the state A.A.U. tourney held here recently and is intended primarily to stimulate interest in inter-city. competition in the game and to pro- vide outside competition for teams, which have centered their attention for the most part on city competition. Fourteen squads have been ex- tended invitations to join in the pro- gram. Play will start at 1:30 p.m. and continue throughout the after- noon and evening. It will be strictly informal, and no attempts being made to organize a tournament. Several outstanding players will be on hand for the occasion. Foremost among them is Al Baneuet, who held the national singles championship for three consecutive years and to date has never been defeated. He retired while still champion and is now a professional in the game. Teams from the Y.M.C.A.s in Grand Rapids, Kalamazoo, Port Huron, Ad- rian, Flint, Saginaw, Ann Arbor, and Detroit have been invited to take part. All Wolverines Entered In Mat MeetQualify TERRE HAUTE, Ind., March 19. --(,P)--Qualifying rounds of the Na- tional Collegiate Wrestling Tourna- ment were held here this afternoon in the Indiana State Teachers Col- lege Gymnasium. Oklahoma A. and M. College qual- ified six men for the quarter-finals tonight, gaining an edge over Okla- homa Unversity, the defending cham- pion team, which placed five in the second round. Twenty-four colleges are compet- ing in the tournament. Qualifiers follow: Nebraska, 1; Ok- lahoma U., 5; Michigan, 4; Iowa State Teachers, 2; Indiana Univer- sity, 3; Haverford, 2; Central Okla- homa Teachers, 5; Cornell College, 3; Iowa State, 3; Oklahoma A. and M., 6; Illinois, 4; Kansas State, 4; Southwestern Oklahoma Teachers, 4; Kent State, 1; Lehigh, 3; West Vir- Looking 'Em Over C.A.G. Johnny Gee, Herm Fishman and Burb Smith took their turns on the mound during batting practice yes- terday ... Herm made suckers out of the hitters with a slow ball . . . Gee was having trouble with his fast ball and had a private session with Fisher afterwards to iron out the difficulties . . Burt is farther along than the rest of the hurlers and spent his time working out a change of pace. Kimy Williams is up to 150 pounds and is looking better every day. Kim may be made into an outfielder if he doesn't recover enough of his strength to take over the regular backstop duties. Coach Fisher is starting a crusade against stalling on, the part of op- posing pitchers. Matters reached a height of something or other in last f year's Iowa game when the Hawk- eye pitchers stalled continually. Ray thinks that li can cut the time of a game down to about an hour and a half if the opposing clubs cooperate.
