THE MICHIGAN D'AILY 'The AP NRESS ANGL By GEORGE J. ANDROS N3, (IN REPLY to numerous quer- But 220 yards is a long ways for ies) Michigan's swimming team Jack, even though he does hold the is not a "sure thing" in the National A.A.U. Championships to be held next I week-end in Yale's pool. Coach Matt Mann's Wolverines have been in- stalled as co-favorites with the Lake Shore A.C. of Chicago and probably hold a slight edge over their Club rivals, but innumerable "ifs" make the outcome of the meet strictly a tossup until the last event has been swum next Saturday night. Inciden- tally, no college team ever has won the A.A.U. Championships. The first factor working against Michigan's chances is the unique scoring system employed by the A.A.U. The use of only three scoring places, counting 5-3-1 in the indivi- dual events and 10-6-2 in the pair of relays, will remove much of the ad- vantage the Wolverines possess in almost perfect balance. Lake Shore A. C., with Adolph Kiefer, diver Al Greene and a medley relay team, is the potential equal of a large Mich- igan squad. Much cudgeling of my cerebral re- gions has resulted in prognostications that give Michigan a 32-28 advantage over Lake Shore, but there are enough "ifs" and "buts" involved to make the proverbial limb look like the slimmest of twigs. At any rate, if I'm right, I can brag about it for months; if I'm wrong, people will forget it in a couple of weeks, I hope. NEXT THURSDAY'S opening pro- gram includes four events: the 100=-yard free-style, the 150-yard back-stroke, the 300-yard individual medley swim and the low-board div- ing. In the 100 I have given Michigan's Ed Kirar three points for a second, with Peter Fick and "Old Man" Spence of the New York A. C. battling with Charlie Hutter of Harvard and Walt Tomski of Michigan for the other two places. The Lake Shore crew breaks into the scoring to the tune of five points for a first fin the back-stroke for "Sonny Boy" Kiefer, but I say Taylor Drysdale, formerly of Michigan, and Al Vande Weghe of the Princeton frosh will take enough out of Kiefer to prevent his winning the individual medley. John Higgins,. Ohio State freshman, will take the medley with Kiefer collecting three counters for second. Then comes the low-board diving where the Lake Shore will probably pick up five more points via Al Greene-unless Al Patnik of the Ohio State freshmen and Elbert Root of the Detroit A.C. are working for Michigan. AND THE END of the first night's events finds Michigan trailing Lake Shore, 13 to 3; but better days are coming. Friday brings the 220 Free-style, the 220-yard breast-stroke ind the 400-yard free-style relay. We'll give Tommie Haynie a rather partisan first in the 220 in his first meeting this season with Charlie Hutter of Harvard and the Olympic seam. Fick and Spence of the New York A. C. might try to mess things up, but that would tire them for the relay. Anyway, give Haynie and Michigan five points. But beware of Kiefer of Lake Shore here, too. John Higgins consistently has beaten Michigan's Jack Kasley, and Kasley usually trims Ray Kaye, so we'll give the Wolverines a second and three points in the breast-stroke. Bad Weather Sends Varsity Nine Indoors With the diamond a sea of mud and the Field House so dark that the batters could not see the ball well enough to go through batting prac- tice, yesterday Coach Ray Fisher was forced to put his squad through a workout on bunting and base run- ning. The Field House floor was con- verted into an infield and with Chuck McHugh, whose arm is coming along in good style, pitching and Herb Reader catching, the Varsity went into the drill with a good deal of en- thusiasm. Coaches Fisher and Oosterbaan centered most of their attention on the perfecting of Bill Lane's hand- ling, of runners at first base. Don Brewer was working at second and he and Bill teamed up several times to trap runners between first and sec- ond. Leo Beebe relieved Reader behind the plate and Burt Smith and Johnny Smithers took a turn at pitching. world's record, and Kaye, the Detroit A.C. warhorse, has at last learned to fly; so maybe Michigan will have to be content with a third. Yet, on the, other hand, Kasley is about due for a win over Higgins-the boy who al- ways beats Jack in times much worse than the Michigan captain's average. - * * * H AYNIE will be tired from the 220, but Michigan's quartet of Ed Kirar, Walt Tomski, Bob Mowerson and Haynie is still good for a first unless the New York A.C. brings in{ a ringer in place of the weak fourth man supporting Spence, Fick and Chrostowski. Ten points for a first this time. So two thirds of the way through the meet Michigan is leading Lake Shore, 21 to 13. Saturday night's medley relay is a problem. Lake Shore has picked up Gus Horschke of Northwestern and Jay Brown of Chicago to support Kie- fer. Kiefer should swim 100 yards on his back in 58 seconds to 62 sec- onds for Fred Cody of Michigan. Kasley, however, will fly his leg in 62 seconds against 64.5 for Horschke. So we come into the anchor free-style. leg with Lake Shore holding a 1.5- second advantage over the Wolver- ines. * * * BROWN is good for about 53 sec- onds, so that means Kirar or Vlowerson will have to do around 51.5 to win for Michigan. Kirar has done better with a flying start, but we'll stay on the safe side and give Lake Shore 10 points and Michigan six. But don't count Harvard out. Unless something drastic happens, Haynie will bring Matt Mann five Interfraternity All-Star Cage, Team Chosen!

The Maryland aggregation lost only three men by graduation and seemed a cinch to re- peat their record of 14 wins out of 20 games . . . The Terrapin stock took a decided drop, however, when Charlie Keller, star outfielder who batted .500 in '35 and .495 last season left to join the Newark Bears of the Yankee farm system. Coach Burton Shipley has a shortstop in "Shorty" Chumbris who brings back memories of lit- tle Joey Sewell, who played at short for the Cleveland Indians for a number of years "Shorty" stands less than five feet high and has a keen eye at the plate which enables him to garner more than his share of walks . . . Like Sewell, the Ter- rapin shortstop has a brother on the team-"Lefty" who is a tow- er of fielding strength out in right field . . . This is the first year of Varsity ball for the Chumbris brothers. Coach Shipley's ace hurler is "Lefty" Wood, a 135-pound left- hander whose favorite pitch is a curve ball.
