MARCH 12, 1939 THE MICHIGAN DAILY Wolverine Track Team Captuses Sixth Straight Indoo r Title Cinder Squad Retams Crown By Big Margin Michigan Scores In Nine Of Ten Events To Gaiii Overwhelming Victory (Continued from Page 1) while three others were dethroned. Walter Mehl lost his two mile crown, John Davenport his sprint title, and Carl Teufel of Iowa the 440 cham- pionship. Gedeon, extended at the finish by the determined bids of Purdue's Steve Gutting, who led going over the final hurdle, and Ed Smith of Wis- consin, sailed home in :08.6. Stan Kelley trailed the three leaders to cop fourth place. Mehl's defeat in the two-mile, which went to Ohio State's Jim Whittaker, was obviously due to his hard tumble in the mile, one hour previously. The Wisconsin star won by an eyelash over Indiana's Mel Trutt with Ralph Schwarzkopf, sprinting up from a tail end position, in 'third and Karl Wisner fifth. The time, 4:16.3 was far off Chuck Fen- ske's imark of 4:11.1 set last year. The two-mile between Mehl and Schwarzkopf failed to materialize as Whittaker won in the mediocre time of 9:26.6. Besides fatigue, Schwarzkopf suffered an attack of stomach cramps and had to drop out with two laps remaining, but still Michigan lost no ground. Plucky Brad Heyl, out of the mon- ey most of the time this season, passed his faltering team mate, and almost overtook Mehl, the favorite, who had to sprint the last lap to insure second place. Heyl coasted in a surprise third to add three more points to the Wolverine's mounting tctal. In the 60 yard dash, defending title holder Davenport was far back in fifth place as Northwestern's chunky sophomore, Myron Piker just edged out Alan Smith of Michigan, a chal- lenger. Smith, who finished third in the 1937 Indoor meet was out last season with illness but came storm- ing back tonight to push the favorite Piker to an :06.2 performance. Tuefel relinquished his quarter mile title to _a game Harley Howells of Ohio State, who shook off a foot in- jury incurred when he collided with Breidenbach in last night's prelim- inaries, to win in the good time of :49.4. Ross Faulkne' was jostled back on the third turn and had to put on a desperate last lap to finish in fourth place. BesidesaHeyl and Smith, two other Wolverine entries contributed un- expected points. In the 880 senior Harold Davidson ran an inspired race to finish three yards behind Art Bodeau of Purdue, the favorite, who won in 1:55.3. Davidson moved into first place during the third lap, but lost out in the final drive in one of the best performances of his career. Dye Hogan, boxed in the rear all the way, was never a factor but little Tommie Jester duplicated his per- formance of last year by slipping in fifth. The other unheralded Wolverine to help make Hoyt's final indoor meet complete success was sophomore Don Canham in the high jump. With Wes Allen limited to a tie for third by his injured knee, and Watson from his top jumping form, Canham leaped six feet three inches to finish an inch behind Bob Biefenthaler of Illinois, the winner. iT restlers Tie For Second As Indiana W insChampionship Aids Michigan Victory Hoosiers' Mat Team Regains Big Ten Title Harold Only For Nichols Captures Individual Crown VarsityGrapplers Ross Faulkner added to the point total of the victorious Wolverine track squad by capturing fourth in the 440 yard event, and ran as anchor man on the record break- ing mile relay squad.

(Continued from Page 1) bout in his bitter rivalry with Don Nichols, and thus reversed last year's decision when he was forced to be content with the second spot. Both men were wary but, in spite of this, it developed into the roughest match of the afternoon. Traicoff had a slight edge in aggressiveness, and he earned the narrow 3-2 decision. Capt. Harold Nichols was never pressed in his match with Jack Mor- ton of Minnesota and rolled up a 16-2 margin in points. Morton's two points were the only ones scored on Nichols in the three matches he had as he shut out both of his opponnts in last night's competition. Bill Combs had little trouble in his matches today and breezed into second on the wings of a victory over C. "Hal" Kemp of Iowa, Jack Peltier of Ohio State, and Al Janesko of Minnesota. Mericka Takes Third Jim Mericka gained only a third place in the 136 pound class, but he added four points to the Michigan total by virtue of his one point for his individual third place and three points for the three falls he turned in. He added pin falls over Purdue's Linderman, and Iowa's George today to his victory over Butler of Chica- go, via the same route last night. Tom Weidig who gained Michigan points last night ,by pinning Morris of Chicago, was eliminated from the consolation matches today when he was decisioned by Berkheiser of Pur- due. Frank Morgan was likewise elimin- ated when he lost the referee's deci- sion to Wes Leverich of Illinois when arbiter Kaare Krogh levied one of the strangest verdicts of the tourna- ment. Leverich had previously been penalized for stalling and when the match ended in an 8-8 tie, Krogh de- cided that the Illinois boy had shown the "most aggressiveness." Only one defending champion suc- ceeded in retaining his title as Archie Dutchman of Illinois won the 136 pound championship. Joe Roman of Indiana again placed second. Dutchman Repeats Dave Helman of Illinois annexed' the 121 pound title, winning the deci- sion over Andy Likovich of Indiana, 5-1, and Pewee Hanson of Minnesota topped Bob Antonicci of Indiana to win the 128 pound crown. Angie Lazarra and Chauncey Mc- Daniel of Indiana were the other Hoosiers besides Traicoff to walk off with championships. Lazarra, who defeated Michigan's Combs last night. won an easy 10-5 victory over Jan- esko of Minnesota, who wound up third in the tourney. McDaniel, who whipped Morgan yesterday afternoon, had an even easier time when he trounced Minnesota's Hugh Easler 12-2 in a slow bout. Wilbur Nead of Iowa copped the Hawkeye's only first place when he out-tussled George Downes of Ohio State in the heavyweight scrap. Nead, who put Jordan out of the finals, ran up eight points to his opponent's two.

Laabs, And Cullenbine LAKELAND, 1-a., March 11.-(AP) -More than five weeks remain be- fore the Detroit Tigers open their American League schedule against the Chicago White Sox at Briggs Stadium but David Delmar Baker, starting his first full year as leader of the club, already has a pretty good idea of the identities of the young men who wil comprise the starting lineup. Baker indicated today he expects to open the season with Hank Green- berg at first base, Charley Gehring- er at second, Frank Croucher at shortstop and Frank Higgins at third and Ervin (Pete) Fox, Chester Laabs and RoyCullenbine in the outfield. Rudy York will be the catcher. A great believer in team-play, Bak- er is keeping the lineup mentioned above intact and the players are working together on what is known as the "morning shift." The other athletes are members of the "after- noon shift." Thus, the Tigers will have an en- tirely new left side of the infield. Croucher, who suffered a broken* ankle here a year ago, has demon- straed to he complete satisfaction of everyone in Lakeland that injury has not weakened his play. In the few practices they have been togeth- er, Croucher has teamed well with Gehringer. -.r Sr 01 LET .. .
