Four Of The Men Who Will Guide Michigan Athletic Fortunes Next Year
University Golf Course Is Long,
Hilly, Well-Trapped, Difficult
By LARRY ALLEN
For the golf enthusiast who likes
to spend his spare moments on the
links, the 18-hole University Golf
Course leaves very little to be desired
in its long rolling fairways, and large
well-kept greens.
One of the few college-owned
courses in the country, it was built
nine years ago." No expense was
spared in its planning and construc-
tion, and the finished product has
been praised by all of the country's
great golfers who have played upon
it.
Course Is Well-Trapped
The University Course is 6,650 yards
long, and to negotiate it in the par 72
is a herculean task for even the best
golfers. The straight holes are long,
and the short ones are well trapped
and call for the greatest accuracy
in playing them. In all, there are 55
traps and bunkers.
The course is very hilly, and very
few of the tees and greens are on
the same level. The greens on many
of the holes are hidden from view
by hills. Probably the only hazard
which the course does not contain is a
creek or pond, with the exception of a
small, very shallow stream that skirts
the front of the 18th hole.
Greens Are Large
But despite the fact that approach-
ing the greens has been made as dif-
ficult as possible, when they are
finally reached they present a real
problem in putting. The course has
the largest total area of greens in the
state of Michigan, and these are al-
ways kept in the finest playing con-
dition. One green, on a parn three
hole, is 12,000 square feet. The green
itself is 186 feet long. The smallest
green is more than 5,000 square feet.
All of them have a rolling surface.
The course is open every day, and
students can play at a special rate.
STATZ PLAYS LONG TIME
Jigger Statz, Los Angeles outfield-
er, claims to have the longest con-
tinuous service record in organized
aseball. He came up in 1915 and is
still going.

By CHRIS VIZAS
Leading the parade of Michigan's
formidable array of coaching talent
is none other than the "Grand Old
Man," christened Fielding H. Yost.
Serving in the present capacity of'
athletic director and in former years
as head football coach, he has estab-
lished an enviable record in the field
of sports, one which will place
him in the ball. of immemorial -greats.
This due to the great "spirit" he has
imbued in Michigan athletic tradi-
tion through his history, making
"Point-a-Minute elevens, andu tne
untiring efforts he has made in build-
ing up the Wolverines in every field
of athletic endeavor.
Yost's right hand man as assistant
athletic director is Herbert 0. Crisler.
"F7ritz," as he is known" to the sport's
trade, is the "gentleman" of the
gridiron, because he gets cooperation
by his smoothness and tact. He estab-
lished outstanding records at Chica-
go, Minnesota, ;and Princeton be-
fore coming to Michigan. He was an
honor, student as an undergraduate
at Chicago.
Marfteai Is Crisler Aide
Aide de camp to Crisler on the foot-
ball field is Earl Martineau, who is
serving Fritz in the same capacity
that he did at Princeton-backfield
coach. He won All-America honors as
a halfback at Minnesota in 1923, and
was awarded the Western Confer-
ence medal for proficiency in. schol-
arship and athletics.
Another member of the football
staff who won the Conference award
for athletic and scholarship pro-
ficiency is end, coach Campbell Dick-
.
son. A star in football, basketball,
and track while an undergraduate at
Chicago, he excelled in his studies
and earned his law degree.
A Minnesota product aiding Crisler
is Clarence Munn, line coach, who
played under Fritz at the Gopher in-
stitution. Munn is also a winner of
the Conference Medal for combined
athletic 'and scholarship excellence,
and he was an All-American guard in
1930.
Wally Weber-Frosh Coach
Bruising fullback of Michigan's
1926, 26 elevens Wally Weber has1
been serving here as a football coach
since 1931, and at present is head
freshman coach. His hobby is speak-
ing at high school banquets, and he
claims he has eaten more chicken at
banquets than any living person-
last year he spoke in 81 Michigan
Pities.
Still aiding the Wolverines in ath-
letic ventures is Bennie Oosterbaan.
Bennie took over the head basketball
duties last season, has continually
served as an assistant football coach,
and handles the freshmen baseball
squad. Oosterbaan is the only Michi-
gan man ever to be honored for three
successive years on the All-America
roster.
Equally versatile is Ray O.
'Corky" Courtright, who won 12 let-
ters in football, baseball, basketball
and track while a student at Okla-
homa. Ray is the varsity golf coach
and serves as an assistant in foot-
ball and basketball.
Although Cliff Keen is a ls.wyer by
profession, he has stuck with his
first love-wrestling, of which he is
head coach and helps with football.c
Cliff was National Heavyweight
Champion while at Oklahoma A. & M.c
and has kept his Wolverine mat squadt
up among the leaders while coach-
ing here.
A veteran among the active
Michigan coaches is Ray Fisher, base-
ball coacht Ray has been handling
the baseball duties since 1921, and,
during that period he has produced+
six Big Ten champs. Prior to join-.
ing up with the Wolverines, Fisher
pitched for the New York Yankees
and Cincinnati Reds.
Matt Mann's Swim Champs
With the coming of Matt Mann to
Michigan swimming took on new
status in the entire Middle West and
became a major sport. He has turned,
out ten Big Ten and National Col-
legiate champions during his tenure,
and of these the last six Big Ten
titles have been consecutive.
Eleven Conference winners in 16
championship meets is the record
departing track coach Charlie Hoyt
leaves behind him. Coming to Michi-
gan in 1923 as football trainer and
assistant track coach under the late
Steve Farrell, he had a tough job
ahead of him when he succeeded
Farrell in 1931 to keep up the magni-
ficent record established by his pre-
decessor.
Having kept the sensational pace
of Farrell, Charlie leaves an equally
tough task to Ken Doherty, his suc-
cessor. Ken in the last nine years as
freshman coach and assistant to Hoyt
has teamed perfectly to maintain the
great Wolverine track tradition. He
is a graduate of Detroit City College,
and in 1928-29 was the national de-
cathlon champion. He placed third in
this event at Antwerp in the 1928
Olympics.
Hockey Coach Eddie Lowrey
A tough- job, but in a different
fashion from that of the track master
minds, is the one hockey coach Eddie
Lowrey had when he camne to Ann
Arbor and towacertain extent still
has. Adversities facing Lowrey as a
coach have included a traditional
dearth of material and a dearth of
opposition, making it necessary to
call upon Canadian college and club
teams to furnish a schedule of high
caliber. Despite these disadvantages,
Lowrey's team have won three Con-
ference titles and tied for two others,
since he took over in 1927.
A recent addition to the coaching
staff is tennis mentor Leroy Wier.
He spends part of his time in work-
ing for a Doctor's degree in history.
