"The running game, with Stark Rit- chie, Wally Hook, Freddie Trosky and I Norm Purucker-doing heavy duty, is1 well ahead of the game," Wally re- minded me, "farther ahead than it has been a this stage of spring prac- tice anytime during the past three years, but what we need is a pair of good-sized blocking backs. No mat- ter how mechanically perfect the quarterback (the front man in the Michigan system) may be, a 160- pounder cannot drive a 210-pound guard or tackle out of the play with as short a start as he gets. And I have four fullbacks who can drive through the line for those extra two yards, but for every time they plunge, there are eight or 10 occasions when they must block and block with a vengance. Give us a blocking quarter and a blocking full, and we will go places next fall." Just How Good ? ? ? ?UST how good a swimmer is Tom Haynie at the present time? Coach Matt Mann has said that the Detroit sophomore will be a greater star than Jack Medica, because he has all of Medica's ability to judge pace and a better finishing sprint. But whether or not this is Haynie's year will be determined tonight and tomorrow night in the A.A.U. cham- pionships at Yale. Tonight Tom, who was voted the "outstanding col- lege swimmer of the year after win- ning the 220 and 440 free-style cham- pionships in both the Big Ten and National Collegiate meets, battles Charlie Hutter of Harvard and the Olympic team, who has made bet- ter time than the Michigan swimmer at the furlong distance. Then there is the matter of swimming a second time in one night to help the Wol- verins in the sprint relay. But to- morrow night brings that "something drastic" I spoke of in Tuesday's PRESS ANGLE. in the person of Olympian Ralph Flanagan who un- expectedly has come up from Miami to argue with Haynie over the 500- yard championship. Hutter and Flanagan plus a relay leg one night, and Flanagan at his favorite distance (ho holds the American record) the next night. That's Haynie's menu, and on the outcome hinges Michi- gan's chance to become the first col- lege team ever to win the A.A.U. Championships. It may be too much' for Tom at this stage of his career. * * * Two Questions . . . TWO PERTINENT questions con- front Coach Ray Fisher as he leads his Varsity bll team into the rain of the Southeastern states; namely who will play third base and who will play first base? The battle for the hot corner position is be- tween Walt Peckinpaugh, son of the great Roger, and Pete Lisagor, pe- dantic sports scribe from Chicago's South Side. Right now Peck is in- stalled at third base, but Ray has not yet made up his mind. Lisagor seems to be too good an infielder to keep out, but no place can be found for him other than possibly third base. But if Peck's hitting picks up now that the team is out of the Field House, his greater third-basing ex- perience anl his slightly stronger arm will put him in. With Lisagor socking the apple the way he is, he may replace the weak-hitting veteran Don Brewer at short. Bill Lane and Danny Smick, two towering basket- ball centers, are waging struggle for the starting spot at the initial sack. Bill has had more experience and is the smoother fielder of the two, but Danny shows a tendency to pound out basehits-so it's another tossup. 1DANCE I MICHIGAN UNION FRIDAY NIGHT 17 most depressing unless they suu- I A"Ir aniir mrroenorlthn hat I i i denly acquire more speea an mey i have so far displayed. Both mem- bers of the crack Wolverine sprint combination, Stoller and Smith, have shown a knack for covering ground in a hurry that the Pacific Coast boys may find hard to match. Stoller is an odds on favorite to gallop home in the century while Smith should collect another five points in the fur- long. Watson A Cinch If the. Bears count on a quarter- mile cinch with Williams, Michigan can come right back with Big Bill Watson who tosses the shot about five feet farther than anyone likely to be on the field that afternoon. Watson has been beating 50 feet con- sistently with the ball and will pullj a "one man track team" stunt for ! the edification of California fans, as he adds high jump, broad jump. and discus to his repertoire in his first outdoor appearance. Bears Weak in Hurdles Captain Bob Osgood and Steve Mason look like the class of the field in the high and low timber events. Stout of California will be' arrested for vagrancy unless he can stir himself to better 15 seconds for the 120-yard lows as compared with the flashing ability of Osgood over the high sticks. Mason has managed to beat out the Wolverine captain, in the few outdoor low hurdle trials they have run and looks likely to lead the field on the Coast. Ben Starr Back The closest event of the afternoon' will pit Michigan's Bennie Starr, back again and looking good, and Howdie Davidson against Elton Wei- man and Charlie Miller for the Bears. Michigan's Harold Davidson, Harry O'Connell, and Neree Alix look good for a slam in the two-mile run but Clayton Brelsford may run into some unlooked for difficultyrfrom Chuck Mehlert in the mile grind. Wolverine pole vault chances de- .pend on whether two bad legs, one each for Dave Hunn and Jim King- sley, are in shape to go the limit. Both Michigan jumpers have bet- tered 13 feet 3 inches in competition this year which is as good as any- thing the Bears can dffer. y Bears Dominate High Jump Unless Bill Watson outdoes him- self in his high jump efforts, Brutusl Hamilton's boys look good for a; slam in the event, both Law and Good having topped 6 feet 2 inches this season. If California presses Archie Wil- liams into service in their one-mile relay they stand a chance of taking Michigan's crack quartet into camp. If they don't the firm of Osgood, Bir- leson, Mason and Clarke won't even be panting when they finish.
