THE MICHIGAN DAILY TU 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 Thomas C. Trueblood Coaches 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 .

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 (Continued on Page 15) 1 1 Attention , Men --= 1 '7i1.:i .C.'. . - - Captain-elect John Townsend, whose renowned passing and ball- handling ability led him to All- Conference and All-American hon- ors, will be the spearhead of the Wolverine attack in the fight for Big Ten basketball honors. 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 ' 2 of Manhattan Shirts, Stylepark I'L I You will find a complete line Class of 1941 We invite you to ;downtown store for students. visit our Michigan Our store is complete with the latest fall merchandise - Worsted-Tex Suits Topcoats - O'coats Mallory Hats Manhattan and Van Heu- sen Shirts and Pajamas Interwoven Hosiery Glover Pajamas THE DOWNTOWN STORE FOR MICHIGAN MEN 3t0ebU& MA) 309 SOUTH MAIN I Dress In The Saffell-Bush Manner The enduring fineness of Saffell and Bush clothing and furnishings is the prime reason for their wide ac- ceptance by the men of this city and university. r" I r ,%0 M- &,^nnc 1n e &% n. * / I
