THE MICHIGAN DAILY s. r t~he PRESS ANGLE By GEO. J. ANDROS Trackmen Meet Ohio; Varsity Nine Tackles Illinoi 3- a- A Seven Foot Jump ? ? ? "WHAT? A seven-foot high jump?" Not an impossibility, says Coach Charlie Hoyt, and a good weather this afternoon may bring just that to Ferry Field. Mel Walker and Dave Albritton, a pair of dusky giants, are here to do duty for Ohio State in this event and right now look like the boys who can do the "impossible." Both of them have made officially ac- cepted leaps to within a quarter o an inch of six feet 10 inches, and that isn't too far away from seven feet. Coach Hoyt picks on this Buckeye pair particularly because of the bitter rivalry that exists between them. Put a couple of men of their ability together trying their utmost to outdo each other, and you have something. And I have a lot of re- spect for Charlie Hoyt's opinions. * * * Trosko Weighs Enough... HEAD COACH HARRY KIPKE and backfield Coach Wally Weber are not expressing too much concern over the fact that Freddie Trosko, recip- ient of the Chicago Alumni Award this spring and the lad who is ex- pected to supply most of the offensive punch in the Michigan football line- up next fall, weighs a scant 155 pounds. "Trosko is built to take it," they tell you, "and he has a knack of setting himself for a heavy blow that enables him to resist much of the re- sulting shock." Wally adds: "Give him a couple of feet on either side in which to maneuver in, and you will never meet him squarely." How Many Sophomores ? ASIDE FROM TROSKO, how many sophomores will be in the start- ing lineup against Michigan State's cocky eleven next October? The Michigan coaching staff is not too definite on its answers, and it can't be at this early date, but it seems pretty probable that one or two-or maybe more-will join Trosko before the opening whistle sounds. Right now Joe Savilla is installed at right tackle pposite Fred Janke, and vet- eran Don Siegel is going to have to step to oust him. Archie Kodros is just behind Ralph Heikkinen as Fred- die Olds' running mate at guard. John Nicholson of the Elkhart clan was a regular end during the spring drills and the versatile veterans Elmer G e deon and Danny Smick may not be too much for him when they repor in September. Norm Nickerson junior coming up, had the number- ne fullback job in his grasp last Sat- urday, but Ed Christy was right on his tail, and John Kinsey is a dark- horse who may well be the surprise of the 1937 season. Reserves To Play Freshmen Golfers The Varsity reserves and the Fresh- man squad will hold their annual gol match this afternoon at the Univer- sity Golf Course. The showing of th freshmen in this match will deter- mine to a great extent the numera winners forthe year. The eight men on each side are t go out in four foursomes. They wil play the best ball, but at the sam time they will also play singles. All freshmen scholastically elig- ible, who are trying out for the nex years' Varsity, should be at the tee at one o'clock. They are to arrang .matches and follow the first matche immediately. The following men are to be. on the teams: Yearnd, Williams (Varsity: vs. Palmer, Black (Frosh) ; Griffiths Harwood (Varsity) vs. Reese, Slate (Frosh); Hoagland, Joines (Varsity: vs. Jungans, Johnson (Frosh) ;, Mc- Camen, Burt (Varsity) vs. Roll, Hei (Frosh). Ohio Confident Of Dope Upset In MeetToday Buckeye's Chances Hinge On Showing Of Walker, Albritton And Beetham By FRED DE LANO Optimistic Ohio, which last oc- cupied a position of importance in the track world when it could boast that Jesse Owens was wearing the Buckeye colors, is seeking today to stage the greatest upset of 1937 by beating the Michigan track team in the dual meet scheduled for 2 p.m. 1 at Ferry Field. Coach Larry Snyder of the Buck- eyes is none too optimistic over his team's chances, however. He feels that the Wolverines should win by at least 32 points which is probably , a pretty fair guess. Other Buckeye representatives, on the other hand, have let their respective imagina- tions wander to the point where they are predicting an Ohio State triumph this afternoon. Lantern Confident Most notable of these sideline ob- servers are the sports writers of the Ohio State Lantern who express con-: fidence in Dave Albritton, Chuck Beetham and Harley Howells to per- form the impossible by winning events which are far from their spe- cialties. It is conceded that Albritton and Mel Walker, two of-the greatest high jumpers in the world, will take first and second in, that event. Albritton, however, is also being entered in the high hurdles and because he chased Jack Kellner of Wisconsin across the finish line last week the alleged ex- perts in Columbus think he will beat i Michigan's Bog Osgood. Beetham, who it will be remem- bered is the national intercollegiate champion in the half mile but who lost to Ben Starr in this event last - winter, has also been entered in the low hurdles today. Snyder has enough confidence in Beetham as a hurdler to think he can give Osgood a battle here. Mid-way through the afternoon he will know if he guessed s right. Howells Good Howells, definitely a good runner, will beat Stan Birleson in the quar- ter according to The Lantern. Birle- son, however, happens to be the best quarter-miler in the mid-west and is t out to acquaint the Buckeyes with this fact this afternoon. In an effort to combat the ad- - mitted strength of Ohio in the middl'e z distance runs Coach Chuck Hoyt has - revamped his team and will use How- e ard Davidson in the 440 rather than the half, Clayt Brelsford in the half instead of the mile and Bill Staehle in the mile instead of the two mile. Workmen yesterday completed the construction of a broad jumping pit1 directly in front of the stands and in today's meet as well as the Big - Ten meet May 21 and 22 the fans f will have a clear view of this event. - Bill Watson will again be favored to e cop a first place here as well as in - the shot and discus, although in the 1 last event he is certain he will be pushed, by Johnny Townsend. o y l i e In The Majors - AMERICAN LEAGUE s Washington ........002 000 000-2 e Detroit . .. . . .. .... . .110 010 lx-4 s * Appleton and Millies; Lawson and lCochrane. I Soph Mile Threat Today's Battle Is Crucial One ForMichigan Fishman To Face Poat; 's Illini Weak At Plate, F. But Strong In Field By CARL GERSTACKER With their backs to the wall and their chance for the Big Ten baseball title hanging on the result of today's game, Michigan's Varsity nine will face a powerful Illinois aggregation led by Ray Poat, the Illini's sensa- tional hurling find, at 3:30 p.m. on the Ferry Field diamond. Coach Ray Fisher has announced that his ace lefthander, Herman Fish- man, will start on the mound and Coach Wallie Roettger is certain to start Poat, for today's game is just as important to his nine as it is to the Wolverines. Hale Slipping Last year, Captain Berger Larson of Michigan and Hale Swanson of the Illini were easily the class of the Conference hurlers and Swanson was expected to take top honors on the mound this season, but Hale has been unable to put his old stuff on the ball and has fared miserably in Big Ten competition.

U-1olverine Slugger Brilliant Field Goes To Post Today In 63rd Kenucky Derby Starters Evenly Matched; With War Admiral Held As SlightFavorite LOUISVILLE, Ky., May 7.-VP)-I America's most renowned horse rac- ing extravaganza, the Kentucky Der- by, will reel off its 63rd showing to- morrow against the picturesque back- drop of sprawling Churchill Downs, with all indicatins pointing toward a glittering spectacle and a sufficiently wide open race to give assembled clans an exciting run for their money. i Twenty crack three-year-olds, best of this year's somewhat ill-fated crop, were entered today for the climax of what promises to be the gaudiest der- by drama in nearly a decade which has seen the event emerge from de- pression years and high waters to re- capture all its old carnival-like flavor. $62,575 Top Money The thoroughbred pack will carry the clors of the turf's foremost stables, from coast to coast, in questJ of aggregate prize money of $62,575, restored to boom-time level after a' four-year lapse, and the prestige that goes exclusively to the winner of this blue ribbon classic of the Blue- grass Country. Two short of the record 'starting field of 1928 when Reigh Count won the richest of all derbies, this year's Equine array is notable chiefly for the absence of a single filly, for the first time in 10 years and the lack of any dominating favorite such as a Twenty Grand, Gallant Fox or Cavalcade. Barring mishaps or repetition of last year's rodeo start, however, there appears sufficient class in the field to establish the winning wearer of the rose horse-shoe as a formidable con- tender for the three-year-old crown of 1937. War Admiral In No. 1 Of the current choices, the 3 to 1 second choice, Mrs. Ethel V. Mars' en- try of Reaping Reward and Military, fared slightly better than the favor- ite, Samuel D. Riddle's War Admiral, in the draw for post positions. Listed at 9 to 5 in the pre-race books, War Admiral, the speedy little son of Man O' War, drew the No. 1 spot, next to the rail, where it takes a jack-rabbit break from .the barrier to run clear of likely early interfer- ence. Military seemed better placed at No. 4, while the slower-starting but stronger-finishing Reaping Reward, ace of the Mars' entry, was placed well on the outside, No. 17 from the pole, with plenty of racing room.
