Big Don Siegel, Michigan's tow
ering heavyweight champion, goes
out after his ninth knockout to-
night in the feature bout of the
All-State boxing show at Tost Field
House. Don's road is expected to be
a tough one however since oppon-
ent Leonard Zdan also owns an
impressive string of knockout vic-
tories.

run, the bookie would clean up.
It meant sacrificing his profes-
sional reputation, but what, he
calculated, is a rep beside a por-
terhouse steak. Well, what is it?
At any rate, his readers, though
puzzled by some of his choices,
remained loyal and religiously
followed their favorite handi-
capper.
And then there fell a fly in the
ointment. By some stroke of fate,
the selling platers and hayburners
which the, writer picked started to
finnish in the money. Like the Midas
touch, any horse he singled out turned
into a gold entry, and naturally the
bookie joint took a terrific beating.
In short order, it collapsed and left
the conniving handicapper flat bust-
ed. But to his readers he was still
the premier selector in the nation. His
reputation was intact, but the porter-
house steaks had proven nothing more
than a series of mirages.
All of which goes to prove noth-
\ng, and still leaves us with two
choices to make.
If the Chicago Cubs fail to
capture the National League
gonfalon this year, then owner
Phil K. Wrigley might better
concentrate his attention upon
chewing gum-and leave the
'baccer chewing lads to their own
resources. For Dizzy Dean should
be what the doctor ordered, even
though he cost the Cubs plenty of
green lettuce. With a slick de-
fersive team with punch well dis-
tributed throughout their line-
up, the Cubs lacked only a No. I
hurler, someone like Hubbell, to
complete a winner. In the spring
book, they can't lose . .. or can
they? They've even got in re-
serve two managers-Tony Laz-
zeri and Gabby Hartnett. And
with Wrigley edging in his own-
ers prerogative now and then,
the boys should never doubt the
presence of leadership, although
they may have trouble putting
their finger on it.
We might create a mild sensation
by declaring that the Yankees will
fold up in the American loop, but
that might indicate chicanery, espe-
cially if some furtive looking gent
approaches you in the next few days
and offers a few shekels that they
won't. So rather than incur the risk,
we'll merely predict that the battle
will be between two western clubs.
Detroit and Cleveland. Is that all
right, wisenheimer?

Camp Gets Proceeds
Tickets on sale at the Union are
priced at $1.00 for ringside with gen-
eral admission being 50 cents. The
show is being sponsored by the Junior
Chamber of Commerce for the ben-
efit of the University Fresh Air Camp
which does its bit to help the under-
privileged children of the state.
The show's feature bout will give
local fans their first glimpse at Siegel
the champion. Don's first fight in
Ann Arbor was the go against Cedric
Sweet after which he went on to win
the state Golden Gloves title by virtue
of two consecutive knockouts, his
most recent coming when he won the
Detroit C.Y.O. championship by flat-
tening Buddy Michaels in the third
round.
Don Works With . so
Siegel has not been taking tonight's
battle lightly. "It would be a fine
thing if I lost at Yost Field House
now, wouldn't it?" he asks. And as
a precautionary measure he is work-
ing out three times a day under Patsy
Urso, former National Golden Gloves
champion and present coach of the
Briggs A. C. fighters in Detroit.

ing somewhat from his usual variety
of drills, Crisler has concentrated
heavily on line blocking. Excluding
ends, lines of five were alternated in
the blocking assignments.
Following the long workout, Cris-
ler lined his men up in an offensive
drill which stressed line plays and
passes, putting into practice the line-
work featured in the earlier workout.
