Although the field was'slippery, the gridders showed a great deal of drive as they ran through the new plays that were issued to them a few days ago. Coach Kipke had Louie Levine at the signal-calling post throughout most of the drill although he switched the other backfield members around freely. Kip used Levine, Hercules Renda, Harry Mulholland, Bob Piotroski, Fred Trosko and a number of others in the backfield combination. Capt. Joe Rinaldi and John Jordan alter- nated at center on the offensive squad. After running through signals most of the afternoon, Kip and Hunk An- derson sent the tentative first and second string teams through a short dummy scrimmage. Most of the plays that were used went through the line although a few passes and a lateral or two were attempted. The defensive line was charging fast and gave their opponents plenty of trouble. Fred Olds, a senior, who has been bothered with the injury jinx every year was in at guard on the defensive team yesterday and looked good as he stopped plays cold time after time. Olds has formerly played at center or tackle, but his new guard position seems to suit him well. HEY JOE-- Have you looked over the new card and letter files at Rider's? They sure have got just what I want, and priced right, too. Ex-Mat Leader Gives Prank Bissell, ex-captain of the Varsity team, has donated 50 dol- lars to further wrestling interests at Michigan, mat coach Cliff Keen announced yesterday. Bissell said his intention is to have Keen use the money in any manner that the grappling mentor may see fit in order to promote this end. The ex-mat captain, who re- cently resigned from the Univer- sity, and Mrs. Bissell left Wednes- day for West Palm Beach, Fla., where they will spend a brief va- cation. Looking 'Em Over C.A.G._ OLD TIMERS will see a familiar face in uniform at the Field House these days in Walter Peckin- paugh, who bears a strong resem- blance to his father, Roger, formerly manager of the Cleveland Indians. Ray Fisher and Peckinpaugh senior played together for seven years with the Yankees.' You see some hopeful freshmen wandering around the Field House these days in pretty weird outfits- the hand-me-downs from former years. The most common suits are the type with wide vertical stripes, while the outstanding one is a rose- colored creation. Rumor has it that there is a bright green outfit too, but it is still in hiding. * * * Most of the boys on the squad have become quite expert at the noble art of sliding under the careful tute- lage of Bennie Oosterbaan. The next step in teaching the art of base-steal- ing will be that of putting a player on the bag to try to put the runner out" as.phe slides into the base. CARDS DROP CLOSE GAME DELAND, Fla., March 25.--UP)- The St. Louis Cardinals dropped a 10-inning decision today to Colum- bus of the American Association, 4 to 3.

Are Varsity Tankers' Biggest Threat For 8th Straight Win The National Collegiate swimming championships will get under way at 10 a.m. today when the representa- tives of 24 colleges and universities invade the pool of the University of Minnesota at Minneapolis. The first gun will sound when a field of top-notch distance swimmers take to the pool for time trials in the 1500-meter free-style event. This grind requires 66-odd lengths of the 25-yard pool. The second and only other event scheduled for the morn- ing is the preliminary in the low- board diving. The afternoon's events include pre- liminaries in the 50 and 220-yard free-style swims, the 150-yard back- stroke and the 300-yard medley re- lay. Finals in all of these events are scheduled for the evening. Saturday is the big day for the swimmers especially the free-stylers. The 100 and 440-yard swims, the 400-yard relay, the 200-yard breast- stroke and the 3-meter board diving will all be run at that time. Prelim- inary heats will be run in the morning and afternoon with the finals sched- uled for the evening. Michigan, title defenders will bump up against some first-rate compe- tition in nearly every event. Yale, Rutgers, Stanford, Iowa, Minnesota, Ohio State, Princeton, Dartmouth, to mention only a few, will be on hand with plenty of good men to shove in against the National champions. Only two teams, however, are rated a chance to upset the great Varsity ag- gregation, Yale and Ohio State. The Wolverines have twice defeated the, Buckeyes, however, and it is doubtful if the Eli swimmers can garner enough points to take the team title away from them.f Wrestlers End Season Today In A.A.U. Meet The Michigan wrestiing teams will get their last chance of the year to show their strength when they go to the Michigan A.A.U. wrestling meet today and tomorrow at the Dearborn Athletic Club. A suad of nearly thirty men, three lettermen Harold Nichols, "Abe" Lincoln, and Dick Tasch, the entire freshman squad and a part of the Varsity reserve team will make the trip. So far this year the freshmen have had no chance to show what they can .1, and this meet will give them a chance to get some experience and at the same time give Coach Jim Kelly, the freshman mentor. and Cliff Keen some idea of the prospects for the coming year. The yearling squad this season is quite small in com- parison to last year's team,.but there are some very good wrestlers on it, according to Coach Keiiy. Along with the Wolverines at this meet will be Michigan State, Wayne University, the Dearborn A.C., and a few of the outstanding high school squads of the state. One of the main features of the meet will be an eight man team from Grand Rapids. This team is made up of the winners of the all-city tournament and is the first one of its kind in the state in recent years. The college coaches of the state are hoping that this is the beginning of the revival of high scbrol wrestling in the state which will mean a great deal to college wrestling. WINGS WIN 5-1 DETROIT, March 25.-(?)-The fast flying Red Wings pulled within a game of their second successive National Hockey' League Champion- ship tonight, defeating Les Canadiens of Montreal, 5 to 1, for their second victory of the five-game playoff se- ries. New Spring Shirts .:-,..., _: ,': The PR ESS ANGL E By GEORGE J. ANDROS Peace On Earth ... THE SPORTS EDITORS of the student newspapers of Michigan State, the University of Detroit and the University of Michigan drifted into the Fisher Tower quarters of Radio Station WJR Wednesday evening, locked around rather suspiciously and sat down. They all carried chips on their shoulders and were steeped with curiosity and good advice. Before long Sports Announcer Harry Wismer blew in out of a haze of cigar smoke, ushered his subjects into the program office, put a piece of copypaper into a battered typewriter and leaned back in his chair with: "Well, boys, what shall we talk about?" Detroit sports writers had besieged Wismer all day with queries concerning the possibility of "something hot" coming out when the unofficial representatives of three not-too-friendly athletic boards got together around a microphone. But they were disappointed. The program was planned and went off as a friendly, informal chat about things far divorced from the ticklish issues that might have been considered. Wismer handled the situation in the manner of a true diplomat, and three young men whose unfriendly remarks could have carried enough weight to put their schools on the spot came away hoping their friendly attitude may have carried enough weight to ease some decidedly strained relations. * * * * In This Corner-Prayes ... IT WILL BE MICHIGAN against the field all the way. From the time Co-Capt. Frank Barnard eases into the pool at 10 this morning to battle Dex Woodford of Ohio State for the 1,500-meter free-style title until husky Bob Mowerson thumbs his nose at "the little old man with the hammer" and anchors Michigan a victory over Yale in the sprint relay late tomorrow night, Mike Peppe of Ohio State and the venerable Bob Kiputh of Yale will be hoping and praying for some unknowns to cut into Michigan's points to such an extent that the Wolverines will not come home with their fourth consecutive National Collegiate swimming title. But I fear for their hopes. Matt Mann has gathered together much too much balanced power to be affected by any number of minor setbacks. The certain point winners on the Varsity squad are there in such numbers as to insure Michigan its eighth national championship in 11 years. Out On A Limb Again .,.. THE GREAT POSSIBILITY of good performances by "unknown" and "supreme efforts" that come of the inspiration of a big nieet make the task of predicting point winners in the National Collegiate champion- ships no easy task, but I will venture as far as to prognosticate on the efforts of the Michigan team. In my opinion the Wolverines will win the meet with approximately 74 points collected in the following manner: Co-Capt. Frank Barnard will start things off with a first place and six points in the 1,500 meters. Ben Grady will take second in both diving events for eight points. Tom Haynie will bring in 12 more with wins in the 220- and 440-yard free-style races. Jack Kasley is good for a half- dozen counters as he wins the 200-yard breast-stroke for the third straight year, and Fred Cody will pick up a point swimming 150 yards on his back. Ed Kirar and Walt Tomski will finish one-three in the 50 for nine tallies, and Kirar, Bob Mowerson and Tomski will be good for a dozen more with first, second and fourth in the century. The sprint, and medley teams will bring in 10 points each in the relay events to wind up the scoring. To A Coleague... JOHN MOONEY of The Daily Iowan who takes me to task in no mean proportions for "hitting Ray Walters when he was down," let me say that I was writing what I consider a truism. I was not gloating nor was I voicing merely my own opinion in saying that Walters was through as far as winning championships in National and Big Ten competition. I was at the Conference meet and discussed the situation with persons who have forgotten far more swimming than you and I know or ever will know. Walters impressed me as taking his defeats like a true champion, but is that a reason why I should not voice what authorities consider a truth? Maybe Ray will come back today and tomorrow. If he does, more power to him. But there is no reason why I should refrain from voicing opinions that have something back of them. Too much mere sympathy has no place in the sports woitd. Incidentally, ask your coach about judges having precedence over timers- and why they do have it. 420 Miller Avenue Phone 3205 j ir OPEN 8 A.M. to 11 P.M. DAILY Are You a Discrininating Hostess?
