'R AY FISHER has a versatile group
of baseballers in camp this year.
Twelve of them "double" in other
sports, three of 'em participate in
three different realms of athletic en-
deavor. A good basketball team could
be molded of Capt.-Elect Leo Beebe,
Herm Fishman, Danny Smick, Russ
Dobson, Charley Pink and Fred
Trosko-the first four being cage
lettermen. Six gridders are also
present in S.mick, Trosko, Elmer Ged-
eon, Harold Floersch, Bob Campbell
and Joe Goldberg. Track, hockey and
boxing are represented respectively
by Gedeon, Burt Smith and Mike
Rodnick, local Golden Gloves light-
weight champion. Smick, Trosko and
Gedeon are the three-sport men.
INSULT DID IT
Paid Benner, Ohio State's ace
two- miler, was piqued at the
Daily's track advance of the
Buckeye-Michigan indoor meet
here a few weeks ago, answered
what he deemed an insult to his
ability by setting a -new Yost
Field House record of 9:19.7.
Benner didn't like the implica-
tions of a line which described
him as "a conscientious, but un-
inspired runner," went forth to
prove its fallacy. Hereafter,
Daily editors will weigh care-
fully their appraisals of~ visiting
