PAGE FOUR THE MICHIGAN DAILY FRIAY, MAY 12, 1939' Swim Squad To Be Strong Next Season Varsity Swims At Intramural Pool Wolverine Athletes Turn Pro InFootball, Boxing And Baseball Track Squad Looks To Ken Doherty (Continued from Page 1) Harmon, all sophomores, are showing great improvement this spring while freshman Al Thomas, an outstand- ing star in high school in Detroit who broke the 65-yard low hurdle freshman mark of elleyein Yost Field House during the winter, is also a great prospect. The loss of quarter-milers Faulk- ner and Hayes will be compensated for by the presence of the sophomore trio of Warren Breidenbach, Phil Balyeat, and Jack Leutritz, Wl of whom have already done :49 or bet- ter. For the fourth of a one-mile re- lay team Doherty must look to "his freshman squad Haynie, Tomski But Abundant Will Improve Graduate Reserves Natators By MEL FINEBERG The Wolverine swimming team, es- conced on a lofty perch as a result of victories in the Big Tens and the Na- tional Collegiates, will be the targets for the swimming torpedoes of other colleges next year but Coach Matt Mann appears to have enough ammu- nition returning to withstand the combined assaults. Gone will be Capt. Tom Haynie, double distance winner at the Na- tionals, and Walt Tomski, sprint mainstay, but material galore re- turns to make the Wolverines strong- er than ever before. Welsh Replaces Haynie In Haynie's place will be Jimmy Welsh, husky sophomore who became the first swimmer to beat Haynie in the Big Ten finals by nosing him out in the 220. Welsh finished second in the 440 at the Conference meet and at the Nationals, and third in the fur- long at the latter meet. To aid and abett the capable Welsh will be the "mighty-mite," Dobson Burton from the freshmen squad, Art Ebeling, in- eligible last year, Blake Thaxter, another sophomore and Ed Hutchens, who finished fifth in the 220 at the Nationals. In the sprints, Charley Barker, who as a sophomore surprised by capturing the 50 and tying for the first in the century at the Nationals, will be back. Leading the returning shock troops will be Bill Holmes, a sophomore who finished third in the 100 and fourth in the 50 at the Big Tens, and sixth in the century at the Nationals. And coming up from the freshmen will be Gus Sharemet, one of the brightest yearling prospects since swimming was inaugurated here. Sharemet finished 'fourth in the hundred at the National Indoor AAU's in 52.5 and sixth in the 220. Since, then he has turned in a 51.2 leg in a relay and is highly regarded by Matt Mann. John Gillis, another fresh- man, will make the Wolverine sprint forces even more formidable. Beebe Will Backstroke Again In the back stroke, there is also a plettora of material. Bill Beebe, sec- ond in the Nationals, returns and would be formidable even if he were alone.' But coming up are Francis Heydt, a transfer from Iowa who was second in the Nationals two years ago, and Dick Riedl. Heydt took second at the indoor AAU's behind Olympic champion Adolph Kiefer. And then if these nien aren't enough, Charley Led by Jack Brennan and Don Sei-t gel, many of the boys who have, :orf will have, completed their last season of competition for Michigan this yearl are going to turn their athletic abili- ties into cash.1 Brennan was the first to come to al definite decision when he signed a, contract with the Green Bay Packers of the National League to play pro- fessional football next season. Seigel, of course, has already turned to pro- fessional boxing, having made a suc- cessful debut last week in Detroit.'Don says he is still open to offers from the pro footballers, however. Heik Line Coach Of the other senior members of the grid squad, All-American Ralph Heikkinnen has turned down niher- ous offers, both to play and to coach, and will serve as assistant line coach here while continuing his education in the Law School.Capt. Fred Janke and Danny Smick will coach, Janke at Jackson High School and Smick at Manistee. Lou Levine is seeking a coaching position, while Norm Fu- rucker has declared himself open to offers either as a player or a coach: Professional baseball will also draw its quota from this year's seniors. Capt. Walt Peckinpaugh intends toE take a stab at it, for a few years at least. Elmer Gedeon, whose interests( have been divided each spring be- tween hurdling and covering first base for Coach Ray Fisher, will con- centrate on baseball after leaving school and has had a number of of- fers. He has made no definite choice as yet, however. Harold Floersch and Earl Smith are other third-year men who plan to try the professional game, while Danny Smick will fill his coaching job with one eye open for a good offer. Leo Beebe will coach at Leslie, Mich., High School. Wolverines Turn Pro These boys are by no means estab- lishing a precedent. Professional sport has attracted a good many Wolver- ine stars in the past. Pete Jablonow- ski (now Appleton), John, Gee, Herm Fishman, Ted Petosky, and others who will be remembered by Michigan fans as having played here in recent years are all playing pro ball at pres- ent. The paid-to-play gridders have also lured some ex-Wolverine stars, among those in recent years being Benny Friedman, Harry Newman and Bill Hewitt. I ti - v ) - The beautiful large pool in the Intramural Building is open to stu- dents and faculty at all times. Fencing Is Taught At Michigan There are few sports that can equal fencing in developing poise, deter- mination, grace or carriage and in- testinal fortitude and in furnishing enjoyment to the participants. Fenc- ing has been in the sports curriculum since the early twenties and from 1928 to 1934 was a varsity sport. Hlue to hard times the varsity squad was dissolved in '34. At the present time fencing is be- ing taught in the freshman physical education courses at Waterman Gym by Coach Johnstone. Men interested in furthering their training may take advantage of the coaching at the I-M Building every afternoon. Although Michigan is the only school in the Big Ten without a var- sity squad Coach Johnstone and his assistant Ray Chambers have suc- ceeded in building up a squad of over 20 men who come down and work out Barker, co-holder of the Big Ten back stroke record, could be drafted. The breast stroke offers its wor- ries but they are all worries for the other teams. Johnny Haigh, fifth in the Nationals and third in the Big Ten, retdrns and will be reinforced by two promising yearlings, John Share- met and Tom Williams. Hal Benham Heads Divers Captain-elect Hal Benham, third off both high and low boards at the Nationals, heads the diving brigade with sophomores Ralph Pyszinski and Jim Wilkinson and freshman Stroth- er "T-Bone" Martin offering aid. Even Matt Mann is highly opto- mistic. He claims, "It will be a typi- cal Michigan team. They'll have to beat us to win any championships." And typical Michigan teams have won six consecutive National titles. at least three times a week on their own initiative. Add to this group the 60-odd men trained each year by Johnstone in freshmen classes and the large group of women interested in the sport and you have a sizeable group of fencing addicts anxious to have fencing reinstated as a varsity sport. Ray Chambers, assistant coach holds the All-Campus title for saber and John Dreher the All-Campus foil and epee championship. Saul Karch, another Johnstoneprodigy, holds the present All-State Foil Championship. Among the bantams, Roy Fairlamb, Chuck Fielder and Sal Longo deserve merit for distinguished work with the foils. The 1930 and 1931 varsity teams marked an all-time high in Michigan fencing when the '30 team won all but one of its matches and the '31 team turned in a perfect record.
