Sopho- mores earning letters were Larry Cal- vert, Jim Tobin, Jim Lovett, Chuck Ross, and Gil Samuelson. Bert Stodden, who played most of the current season, but was forced to drop the sport because of illness, was the sixth sophomore to win his letter. Fred Heddle, another sopho- more, earned a reserve award. Being selected captain of a Wol- verine hockey team is not out of line for the James family. "Spike's" captaincy adds to the hockey fame which his brother Gib started for the James family back in the season of 1935-36. Gib continued to star through last season as a wing, when Eldon came along to share the spotlight by taking over the first- string net-minding duties. James brilliant work in the nets last year as a sophomore was one of the main reasons why the Wolver- ines split even in their series with the Gophers and finished the season in a tie with the Minnesota sextet for the Big Ten championship. Although failing to put a halt to the Gopher's march to an undisputed A PLEASANT VACA Track Team Seeks Butler Relays Title Detroit Drops Opener To Cincinnati Reds, 5-4 I Eldon "Spike" James is the newly elected hockey captain for the 1939-40 season. "Spike's" excellent goal-tending has brought him praise equal to that of his brother Gib who starred for three seasons as a wing on some of the Wolver- ines most powerful puck teams. possession of the title this season, By HERB LEV There's quite a bit of difference between hitting a baseball inside a: batting cage, and trying to slap the ball out of the reach of a waiting in- field, so Coach Ray Fisher is trying hard not to get over-enthusiastic soj early in the year. But nevertheless, a spheroid square- ly met sounds the same indoors or out, and with past indoor campaigns to use for comparison, Fisher be- lieves he has reasonable basis to ex- pect his team to improve greatly on its collective .253 batting average compiled last year. the Wolverines managed to break Gedeon Is Confident even by taking eight games and tie-k Fisher is especially elated over the ing two while losing eight in their e showing at the plate of veterans El- itwenty game schedule.

Pink Is Hitting But now Charley is showing ability to hit a ball hard, which should make him doubly dangerous. Elsewhere the offensive qualities of the team show a definite tendency upward.

Lewis-Clark Title Bout Is Called Off DETROIT, March 17.-(P)-John J. Nettche, chairman of the Michigan Board of Athletic Control, announced tonight the fight between John Hen- ry Lewis, light heavyweight cham- pion, and Dave Clark of Detroit had been called off because of an injury to Lewis' left eye. Lewis was to have defended his title against the Detroit Negro here March 31. Hettehe said an examination of Lewis by two physicians had revealed the champion was "in good condition except for his left eye." Dr. Daniel R. Donovan, who exam- ined Lewis, reported that "sight of Lewis' left eye is almost nil. He was unable to read even headline print of a newspaper and apparently could distinguish only light from dark." "Examination of Lewis' left eye," reported Dr. C. L. Tomsu, "revealed that he could not detect the number of fingers held 18 inches from the eye." The physician diagnosed the ailment as "probable traumatic cata- ract." Lewis failed to appear for an addi- tional examination today ordered by Hettche after the two physicians made their report. He was to leave tonight for his home in Pittsburgh, apparently resentful of official de- mands for the recheck of his condi- tion.
