MAY 14, 1937 THE MICHIGAN DAILY PAGE FIFTEEN a i t/ a i .D L-i 1 ;a S A L A MichiganAthletic Teams Have Good Record For Past Year Titles Taken By Swimmers During Season Track Squad Holds Indoor Crown ;Mamen, Cagers Mae Good Showings By STEWART FITCH Despite a rather disastrous foot- ball season, Michigan can boast of a very successful athletic year. Wol- verine teams have met with success in state, conference and intersec- tional contests. So far this year Varsity teams have chalked up one National and three Big Ten championships as well as gaining a second and a third against Conference competition. Fall To Spartans The football team with a number of "promising sophomore" received its first major setback when the Spartans of Michigan State had a field day at the expense of the Wol- verires. Then followed stinging de- feats by Indiana and Minnesota, the Gopher game being lost by a 26-0 score. The squad seemed to be on the up-swing a week later, as they hum- bled the Columbia Lions by a 13-0 score. The following week the Illini came to town and in spite of the fact that the Wolverines outgained them by 170 yards, the Zuppkemen came out on the long end of a 9-6 total. The remainder of the season re- sulted in two more losses for the wearers of the blue and gold. By dropping a 27-7 game to the Quakers from Pennsylvania, the Wolverines lost the hold on Eastern teams that they had had for year in intersec- tional competition. In the final tilt of the season, Michigan looked bet- ter than any other game of the sea- son, although going down to a 9-0 defeat at the hands of the powerful Northwestern eleven. Cagers To Coast The Varsity cagers with John Gee at the helm and "Jake" Townsend, Michigan's only all-Conference play- er pacing the squad, took to the road during the Christmas vacation. After splitting two games with the powerful Washington Michigan got off to a bad start against Big Ten competition when they dropped the opener to the Boil- ermakers from Purdue by a 37-26 score. The season's highlights came when Cappon's men broke loose before 9,000 howling fans Feb. 23 at Yost Field House and completely sub- merged the Purdue quintet 31-16. With the season fast drawing to a close and with Michigan a favorite to finish at least in a tie for first place in the conference standings, the Wolverines tackled the strong Indiana team whom they had de- feated previously by a 55-31 score. It was a different story this time. On March 1 the Indians blasted Michi- gan from the title race by squeezing out a 31-27 win.. So, with Minnesota and' Illinois deadlocked for the first place posi- tion in the Western Conference, Michigan had to be contented with the next best third place. Pucksters Take Crown Coach Eddie Lowrey's little band of pucksters again proved to the sports world that it isn't necessary to have a large squad to have a first rate hockey club. The little squad that never had more than a few replacements on the sidelines fought its way through all kinds of compe- tition to a very successfull season, winning the mythical state title and tying for the Big Ten crown with Minnesota. After dropping the opener with Brantford A.C., the Varsity went on to defeat Western Ontario and Sar- nia. Then came the first series with Minnesota. Led by Vic Heyliger, the Michigan sextet banged home eight goals paststhe surprisedhWilkinson to win 8-1. In the second series with the Go- phers played at Minneapolis, the' Minnesota team again took the open- er 3-1, but fell before a powerful Michigan attack on the next day losing by a 3-2 score and splitting the conference title with the Wolver- ines. The Varsity ended the season (Continued on Page 16) Top U.S. Tank Coach Matt Mann through his excel- lc:-,t coaching has brought more title3 to the University than any other man. The most recent ac- quisitions of his swimming team includes the Big Ten and National Collegiate titles. What Happens To Michigan 's Great Athletes By PHIL NEWMAN One of the questions in everyone's minds is what becomes of a great athlete. From this question springs many queries such as do they follow their sport as a vocation and how successful are they. The following is a collection of Michigan's greatest athletes and what they are now do- ing. It is very fitting that the nine- letter men, people who were versatile enough to win letters in three sports for three consecutive years, should be considered first. Two of them, Harry Kipke and Benny Oosterbaan have stayed at Michigan in coaching ca- Russ Oliver, the most recent nine letter man is coaching at Culver, while Norm Daniels, who will be re-' membered for his splendid basketball playing is connected with the Wes- leyan University Athletic Department. Heston And Schultz Next on our list come some of the All-Americans, and heading these is Willie Heston who was the forerunner of them all. Both his sons, Willie and Jack played football for Michigan. He is now in the real estate business in Detroit. Germany Schultz, who was the first of Michigan's great centers, is selling insurance in the same city.- Skipping a number of years, we come to Ernie Vick, another center, who is with the Libby-Owens-Ford Glass Company in Detroit. The grid- iron claims him now and then, for occasionally he officiates at football games. Benny Friedman, famous for his passing, and considered by experts to be the greatest quarterback football has ever known, has turned his ability to money. He played pro football for several years and is now coach at New York University. Another great quarterback, 'Harry Newman, found the call of the gridiron too strong to resist, and is playing pro football for the New York Giants. Charles Bernard, the latest of the centers, has severed his connection with the sport, and works for the Ford Motor Company in Dearborn. In The Majors Two of Michigan's baseball play- ers have achieved great recognition after leaving school. The name of George Sisler is as familiar to the big leagues as it is here. He is now retired from the active game and owns a string of sporting goods stores in St. Louis. Pete Appleton is al- ways a potential menace to the De- troit Tigers for he is. a pitcher for the Cleveland Indians. Two of the negro track stars will never be forgotten, Eddie Tolan, at one time the fastest human being in the world, and Willis Ward, who was as versatile as he was good. To- lan's pinnacle of fame was reached in the 1932 Olympics when he won two titles. He now is working in the State Capitol in Lansing. Ward is studying to be a lawyer and working at the same time. paities. How Things To Come' Came Out By RAY GOODMAN evitably . . . the west coast trip was f "unabashed by his Olympic fortunes AUTHO!'
