perienced Cagers Presage
Close Race For Big Ten Title,
Leads Michigan Five
Champion Gopher Quintet
Takes Place Of Purdue
On VarsitySchedule
By BUD BENJAMIN
Strength on virtually every front is
the outlook for the Big Ten cagers
this year, and although the situation
is not an unusual one, coaches are
finding it exceedingly difficult to pre-
dict any sort of future for their rep-
resentative teams.
Experienced juniors and' seniors
play the leading roles this year, and
the losses to the various teams by
graduation are minute as compared
with the host of returning luminaries,
Purdue, Minnesota, and Northwest-
ern are favored to give Michigan the
greatest run for Conference honors
with Wisconsin and Iowa ranking as
dark horses in what should be a very
stiff race.
Purdue Loses Two
The Boilermakers have lost only
Jim Seward and Glen Downey
through graduation, and the Indiana
contingent usually has a host of re-
placements ready to step in and flash
their favorite brand of Hoosier ball.
Jewell Young, who led the Confer-
ence scorers last year with a record
breaking 172 points, will return with
his famous one hand shot which
brought havoc to the Purdue oppo-
sition last year. So will Pat Malaska,
FROSH GOLFERS
All Freshmen who play in the
seventies or low eighties are re-
quested to register at the Univer-
sity Golf Club before Saturday,
September 25. Six more men are
still wanted for the freshman
squad. Ray Courtright

FATHER LIKE SON
Michigan's smallest gridder is Her-
cules Renda, 152 pounds (all muscle),
5 foot four inch halfback from Jock-
in, W. Va. To teammates' question
about the size of his parents, Herc
replied.
"Oh, my father, he's a big man.
Shorter than me, but he's awful
heavy:"
Johnny Sines, and Gene Anderson
among others.
Minnesota, the defending cham-
pions, replace the Boilermakers on
the Wolverine schedule this year, and
Cappon has yet to decide whether he
likes the change or not. The Gophers
have practically their entire team
back, and led by the very clever John-
ny Kundla will seek to retain their
newly acquired crown.
Wildcats Are Strong
Northwestern is virtually intact.
Returning veterans Fred Trenkle,
Wike McMichaels, Jean Smith, and
Jake Nagode will provide the Wild-
cats with a very likely looking nucleus
around which to build their attack.
Wisconsin and Iowa win their out-
side posts due to their very slight
graduation losses. Both teams will
retain their first string quintet prac-
tically in toto, and that alone should
serve notice on their Conference
rivals to beware.
Among the other teams, Illinois, de-
spite the return of flash Louie Bou-
dreau, Jay Wardley, and Dick Nesbit
will feel the loss of departed Harry
Combes, Bob Riegal, Jim Vopicka
Wib Henry, and Hale Swanson. Look
for a weakened Illni this winter.
O.S.U. Weakened
Ohio State is another quintet that
is apt to feel the effects of lost mem-
bers. Tippy Dye, Jack Raudebaugh,
and Earl Thomas have played their
last game for the Scarlet and Gray,
and the replacements are not too en-
couraging.,
Indiana too has been hit by the
June exodus but don't count the
Hoosiers out. Their basketball-mind-
ed environment may provide a crew
of sophomores with strength enough
to carry them back among the lead-
ers.
Chicago has its entire team back,
but that won't help the Maroons. Not
with the mess of basketball talent
that's floating around the Conference
this year-but don't take our word
for it .

past performances, should return to
the front.
Allen Smith and Waldo Abbott are
going to have to carry the brunt of
the load in the sprints with the help
of Roy Heath if his leg injury does
not recur. Herb Martens and Harvey
Clarke are leading hurdlers, but Stan
Kelly the sophomore star will figurel
to quite an extent in these events.
Have Three In 440
Smooth running Ross Faulkner,
Chuck Miller, and Waldo Abbott have
made the best showing in the 440,
and as there are no outstanding soph-
omores coming up they will do most
of the running.
,The Wolverines will be very well
represented in the distance events
this year as they will have veteran
Doug Hayes and the two freshman
stars Tommy Jestor and Francis Ho-
gan in the 880, and even a stronger
mile squad.
Walt Stone, Bill Staehle, and Har-
old Davidson will lead the milers this
season but Ralph Schwartzkopf, Karl
Wisner and Brad Heyl will strengthen
this already strong trio into a group
of milers second only to Indiana.
Allen Is Back
Coach Charlie Hoyt again hopes to
have a high jumper who con consist-
ently clear six feet in Wes Allen, the
sensational Ohio colored star who
cleared six feet four and one half
inches last fall. Allen will also sup-
plement the work of Allen Smith
in the broad jump.
Jim Kingsley and sophomore Dave!
Cushing will be the leading Mich-
igan vaulters, while Tex Stanton and
Herb Martens will carry on in the
javelin throw.
More Records And More Winners,
So Passed Another Year In Sports
By ART BALDAUF
They hoisted a few more records
this summer on the various sport
fronts; a few past greats made their
last marks; a few attracted atten-
tion for themselves in fields not
strictly athletic. So passed anotherl
summer in the world of sports in
more or less orthodox fashion.
United States teams yawned a bit
and gathered in a few more trophies,
emblematic of supremacy in this 'n
that, internationally speaking. The
American League All-Stars repeated
over another similar team from the
other league. Max Schmeling, who
was stood up by one, Joe Louis, on the
night of June 22, went through most
of the summer without seeing any
dotted lines before his eyes, then fi-
nally signed for a championship fight
next June.
But touching on the highlights
of the season would be, perhaps, a
bit easier if put in chronological
order:
June 30-The United States Ryder
Cup team ended an eight year fight
on British soil by defeating the Brit-
ish professionals 8-4. The victory,
result of an affair held every two
years, left the Americans on the
long end of a 4-2 score for the series.
July 6-Captain Paul N. Dashiell,
1ri __ III
U.S.N. (retired). who was chairman
of the national football rules com-
mittee for 15 years died of a heart
attack in the navy hospital. He
would have been 70 years old on July
16. Dashiell was one of a group that
met in 1896 to attempt to make a
uniform set of rules for college play..
He succeeded and became first chair-
man of a permanent committee.
t He is credited with being the
"father of the forward pass," when in
1905 he suggested it as a means of
lesseninginjuries.
July 7-American League All-Stars
whipped top-notchers from the Na-
tional League 8-3 before a capacity
crowd of 31,390 at Washington, D.C.
The victory put the American League
stars on the long end of. the series
record, 4-1.
July 7-Jimmy Thomson, long-
driving professional from Shawnee-
on-Delaware, Pa., won the $1,000 open
driving contest at Fonthill, Ont. with
ten drives totalling 3,407 yards. His
best was for a distance of 386 yards.
July 11-Elroy Robinson, lanky
Olympic club star from San Francisco
clipped two-tenths of a second off
the world record for the half mile at
the second World Labor athletic meet
on Randall's Island, New York. He
negotiated the distance in 1:49.6 to
erase Ben Eastman's mark which had
stood since the Princeton invitational
meet of June 16, 1934.
July 13-Henry Cotton, British

Eight Veterans
Form Nucleus
Of Mat' Squad
Bissell Is Lone Regular
Lost By Keen; Danner's
Return Doubtful
Coach Cliff Keen's hopes for Mich-
igan wrestling are rising to a new high
this year. He has an almost entirely
veteran squad, and he is also to have
the help of a new assistant coach,
Port Robertson, a graduate student
from Oklahoma who knows his wres-
tling from the ground up.
Captain Frank Bissell is the only
member of the team that was lost
through graduation, and two new men
have come up from the freshman
squad that will help to fill the hole
that he left.
Thomas Holds Title
This year's Co-Captains Earl Tho-
mas and John Speicher were two of
the outstanding wrestlers of the Big
Ten last season. Thomas won the
Conference championship in the 135-
pound clas swhile Speicher won third
place in the 118-pound division.
In the 118-pound class for this sea-
son Speicher stands almost without
opposition. for his job. The same
thing holds true in the 126-pound
class where Jim Laing, a sophomore
who made a very fine showing last
spring in the post-season training,
seems to hold the edge.
There are three good men for the
135 and 145 pound classes Capt. Tho-
mas, Paul Cameron, and last year's
freshman star Harold Nichols. Of
these only Thomas is sure of a posi-
tion but both of the other two men
are going to be hard to beat out of a
job.
Morgan Is Fixture
Frank Morgan is the logical man to
fill in the position left vacant by
Bissell's graduation, but in the event
