THE MICHIGAN DAILY FRIDAY, MAY 14, 1937 Intramural Department Offers Varied Program For Su Ammer Kipke To Hold Football Class Athletie Staff Offers Course For C ahn Weaker Big Ten Teams Raise Michigan Football Prospects i act vU acaton1J Use Of All Ferry Field, y-M SportsFacilities Iy MIKE NEAL and STEWART ROBSON For the athletically-minded sum- mer student the Intramural depart- ment will offer a program of many and varied, indoor and outdoor sports. As usual, the Board in Control of Physical Education has offered all the facilities of Ferry Field, South Ferry Field and the Intramural Building for use during the Summer Session. As well as the planned program of individual and team competition which has been scheduled, there will be opportunity for everyone to use this athletic plant as he pleases. Softball League A league of softball teams will be formed at the beginning of the Sum- mer Session. These teams, usually numbering thirteen to fifteen, are di- vided into divisions of four each. The winners of these divisions then en- gage in play-offs to determine the summer school championship. Golf players can take advantage of the University's excellent 18-hole lay- out. Tournament-minded golfers may enter the al-campus tourney for the individual title. No team or doubles competition will be held in this sport. Singles and doubles tournaments are scheduled in tennis, handball and horseshoes., These will be run on a straight elimination basis. Courts for these three sports will also be available for unsupervised play. Al- though no program is offered for squash and badminton, the courts will be open for student use. Competition Limited Swimming competition will be lim- ited to individual entries. The fol- lowing series of ten events will be run off in turn, with approximately two events a week: 25, 50, and 100- yard free style; 25 and 50-yard back- stroke; 25 and 50-yard breast-stroke; the 75-yard individual medley; plunge for distance; and diving. Points will be awarded for the first five places in each event. The student who com- piles the most points in all ten events will be awarded the all-around indi- vidual swimming championship. All students interested in partici- pating in any of these activities should sign up at the office of the Intramural Sports Building sometime during the first week of school. Schedules will be drawn up, team equipment fur- nished, and officials provided. CAPT. OSGOOD Michigan-Hurdles and Relay Capt. Bob Osgood, Michigan's leading hurdler, who now holds the outdoor high hurdle title in the Conference, is expected to win both the low and high hurdle events in the cominhg Big Ten Meet. Hoyt, Cappon Hold Classes For Coaches Two men who put University of Michigan athletic teams at the top this year are among those coaches who are staying over for six weeks work in the summer coaching school. Coach Charlie Hoyt, whose track squad has been styled the "best dual meet track team in the country" will conduct a class in track and training, and Coach Franklin Cappon, mentor of the basketball squad that was a contender for the Conferenle title, finishing close to the top, will teach a class in basketball and administra- tion. In his course, Coach Hoyt plans to go through each event, both track and field, discussing form, technic, and training. He will instruct in both the training of the athlete from the coaches standpoint and the train- ing from the standpoint of the trainer The basketball class will be con- ducted by Coach Cappon who also will lead a study of his sport from every angle including individual play, team play, and general strategy. The, enrollment in this class is usuallyj somewhere between 25 and 35, last year being 32. By TOM PHARES Head Coach Harry Kipke is all set for his summer football coaching school which is a part of the annual athletic instruction program of the School of Education, and if you are to believe Harry, he can usually tell about how many men will enter his class. "The number of students we have varies with the success of our football team," he says. "It ranges from 25 to 40, and in our hey-day many prominent men were among this number." Their knowledge is not all obtained passively either, as Harry routs them out onto the gridiron once or twice a week in uniform to run through plays and formations. Of course there is no real competitive action but it gives them a chance to see in practice the plays they have talked about in class. Moving pictures of Michigan games are also put into use with accom- panying discussions and criticisms. Strategy Stressed The course covers all phases of the game, blocking, tackling, line and backfield play as well as football strategy as employed by coach and quarterback. Quite often various notables promi- nent in the gridiron world drop in on the school and are invited to lec- ture to the class. Last summei Harry Newman, former all-American Wol- verine quarterback, was among the visitors as well as Jack Blott, former Michigan line coach. According to Kipke, the greater part of the students are high school coaches or men who are planning to go into the coaching game later. Most of the college coaches who attend summer coaching schools prefer the short term courses the likes of which Kip has conducted several times in the past. Such a course usually lasts two weeks with intensive all-day work on the card. One such school is now conducted at Northwestern University where in two weeks they cover all major sports. Large Numbers Attend Since the University of Michigan coaching schools are merely a con-f tinuation of the courses offered dur- ing the regular school year, they are handled in the same manner so as to allow students who are taking other summer courses to take advantage of these as well. A goodly number of students is ex- pected to attend this class during its six week summer school period, and with the experts predicting a rise in Michigan's football fortunes, next year should bring a further boom Io esVFL Vt By IRVIN LISAGOR Michigan's revived football hopes Program For High School - the combined result of Hunk An- ' r~ram or Ngh Sh~a derson's acquisition and a new spirit Use Will Be Outlined as manifested in the spring practice sessions - may be slightly buoyed by By Doctor May reports of prospects in the camps of Big Ten toes on the Wolverine 1937 The School of Education is again schedule. offering its annual summer courses Because of inadequate information in coaching and athletic instruction concerning the crop of sophomores to be conducted by five members of that will be making its debut in Big the University of Michigan coaching Time football, this appraisal must be staff.

Chicago seems securely ensconced in the Conference basement again.) They simply won't encourage ath- letes to enroll there. So Clark Shaughnessy will have to find some- one to put in front of his two best bets, Sollie Sherman and Omar Far- eed, the Persian, both good running backs. Buckeyes Heavy Losers Ohio State has lost a wealth of valuable material. Merle Wendt and Frank Cummiskey, the two great ends, Inwood Smith, guard and claimant to All-American honors, ano Charles Hamrick, brilliant tackle, forsake Francis Schmidt's razzle- dazzle ranks. Tippy Dye's absence will be the greatest blow to Buckeye partisans. One of the Western Conference's greatest athletes, Dye was the hub of Schmidt's attack, a smart feld gen- eral and a capable runner. "Jarring Jim" McDonald, bruising fullback, and "Jumping Joe" Wil- liams are Schmidt's chief backfield aces. Unless a better-than-average sophomore crop is present, the Buck- eye prestige seems destined to dip. Maybe Schmidt had better start look- ing around. And finally, Minnesota's Golden Gophers. Why bring them up? Bernie Bierman will again have trouble picking a Varsity from his mine of gridders. Ed Widseth, the All-American rough boy, will be miss- ing, but good men are available and clamoring for the post. Bud Wilkinson, who proved a quar- terback "find" last season, after per- forming at guard previously, will not return. But Bierman has too many backs now, and one of them ought to learn who's who sufficiently to call signals. Uram, Gmitro Return The backfield stars returning are Andy Uram, Rudy Gmitro, Larry Buhler, Vic Spadaccini, Whitman' Rork, ad infinitum. And they have a sophomore coming up, Bonk's his name, who - Gopher informers say - is another Nagurski, better than ;ither Kostka or Joesting. Which is plenty of fullback. Thus you have the Wolverine op- ponents for next fall. And from this viewpoint, they don't appear overly tough, excepting again, Minne- sota. If a "comeback" for Michi- gan is in order, the set-up is favor- able. Or is it? Student Sports Facilities Rank In First Place 34 Activities At I-M, Golf Course, Coliseum Give Students Plenty To Do By PETE TENNEY In a direct contradiction to the statement that too much attention sports offered if it is requested. This and not enough to intramural spors, Michigan has one of the largest and finest plants in the country. The Intramural Building itself is the largest in the world. In addition to this is the University golf course, the indoor hocky rink in the Coli- seum, and many softball diamonds, and nearly thirty tennis courts. Added to these fine features in equipment, is a large, well-trained staff of instructors. All of these men are well known in their own fields. Instruction can be had in any of the sports oered if it is requested. This fine staff lays out a well rounded pro- gram to be carried out during the year. Well-Trained Staff In last year's I-M program there were 4 different activities. These cov- ered sports from dart baseball to the rough and tumble soccer and touch football. In this program there is sure to be some activity that will suit each individual. All of these sports attract large numbers of men, but a few of them are outstanding in their popularity. Basketball is by far the most popular of all the activities. Last season more than 1,500 men were enrolled in this sport. Running second to bas- ketball came softball in which more Swimming Is Popular than 1,200 men participated. Ranking high among the popular features of the program is swimming. The swimming pool is one of the most beautiful in the country. Although it is the home pool of the famous Var- sity swimming team, winners of the Big Ten and National Intercollegiate titles last year, it is open for the var- ious I-M events. The pool is also open to all students in the University part of the time for recreational swimming. It is estimated by Director Mitchell, that more than 20,000 men use this building each year. Of the 20,000 who use the building, 5,200 of them are directly enrolled in the regular I-M program. Some of these men are enrolled in two or more sports so that a total of 10,000 men are en- rolled in the activities. hi ___--_______________________________.____-.______ i 14 -I e+, MICHIGAN The Hub UNION I ' ' ______________I Of Campus School Activities Students for Summer r SWIMMING POOL Large, clean pool equipped with a new steam bath . . . .
