FEB. 22, 1939 THE MICHIGAN DAILY PRESS PASSES -By BUD BENJAMIN -- 4nswer Me This ... ACETIOUSLY s p e a k i n g, Jim Schlemmer, sports editor of The kron Beacon-Journal, has an answer o this problem of keeping our ath- etes eligible. Varsity Swims To 57-27 Win Over Gophers Natators Cop Every First Place And Crack Three NationalRelay Marks (Continued from Page I) Reidj, continued the Wolverines on their merry way with a 56.4. Art Ebeling, Blake Thaxter, Warren Wehrhein and breast stroker John Sharemet, the latter two first year men, did 55.9, 55.8, 57.6 and 59 to bring the team up to the 1700 yard marker. Hal Benham swam the remaining 60 yards in 29.8, bringing the total time for the mile up to 16:00.7, al- most 22 seconds better than the old mark of 16:22.2 set by Michigan in 1935. We-Beat-Don-Lash Club Holds Local Meeting Friday Night By DICK SIERK the aforementioned Millrose two- l] 9 { Schlemmer, who apparently s been reared in an atmosphere of thlete-privilege," asks: "Are the iversities of our land asking ques- ns too hard for their athletes in holastic examinations?" He con- iues: "Why not devise special and parate lists of examination ques- ins for these fellows who spend o much of their time on the grid- n or on the court, and who have o little time to spend in study?" The writer grants any univers- ity or college to use these gems in whole or in part. And I might add that in my ramblings this season, I have come in contact with a few institutions which might well take this proposal under advisement. Some typical questions: 1--Name two nations involved in Ihe Spanish-American war. 2--When was the war of 1812? 3-How long was the 40 Year War? 4-With which arm does Lefty Gomez pitch? .5-Who won the Dempsey-Tunney fight the night Dempsey lost his :title?' 6-Whose little lamb followed Mary to school? 7-Who delivered Lincoln's Gettysburg address and where? 8-Where will the New York SWorld's fair be held? 9-Through which isthmus does, the Panama canal run?

Poe's "The Raven"? Ben- jamin Franklin's Autobiography? Vergil's "Aeneid"? 15-Which of the following is syn- onomous with legal tender? Check one-money, money, money. 16-Name one state bordered by the Ohio River? 17-Name one elected officer superior to the vice president? 18-Who invented the Diesel motor, Whitney's cotton gin, the Edisn phonograph, the Bessmer converter, the Mergenthaler lino- type? 19-Distinguish between Bank night, the Bank of England, and the Grand Banks of Newfound- land? 20-What is freedom of the press?

Nineteenth Record This made a total of 19 relay rec- ords that the Wolverines have set this year-four in the free style, nine in the back stroke and six in the breast stroke. Minnesota was able to take but five second places as the Wolverines won as they pleased. Walt Tomski turned in the best time of the evening as he again bet- tered the Big Ten record set last year by Michigan's Ed Kirar by .1 seconds as he won the 50 yard free style in 23.2. The closest race of the evening came in the 150-yard back stroke with Charley Barker and Lyman Brandt tangling. The pair were still even with 25 yards to go but Barker touched the Gopher captain, who finished third in the Big Tens, out by inches. The time was 1:40.8. Holmes Saves Medley Another sonhomore, Bill Holmes, pulled the medley relay out of the fire aver Jack Sherrill had lost a length and a half in the back stroke leg and Johnny Haigh had picked up a length of it in the breast stroke. Holmes pulled away in the last 25 yards to win by two yards. Hal Benham and Ralph Pyszinski finished one-two in the dive; Tom Haynie waltzed home in the 440; Jim Welsh was first in. the 220; Ed Hutchens annexed the century and Johnny Haigh won the breast stroke. The free style relay team made it unanimous. Nine For Nine 300-Yard Medley Relay: Won by Mich. (Sherrill, Haigh, Holmes).

FRESHMAN TRACK All freshman interested in track are urged to attend the meeting at the Yost Field House, Friday, Feb. 24, at 5 p.m. sharp. Previous experience is not necessary. --Ken Doherty When two such prominent mem-I bers of that small and select group. the We-Beat-Don-Lash Club, as Ralph Schwarzkopf and Greg Rice hold a meeting it is no ordinary meet- ing-it is a battle to the finish (line) with a track as the battle-ground. The next meeting of this duo is set for next Friday at Yost Field House. The occasion will be the dual meet between Notre Dame, with Rice as captain and mainstay of the Irish, and Michigan, with Schwarzkopf as the star distance performer for the Wolverines. Three And Out? Schwarzkopf, who beat Don Lash in the Penn Relays 3000-meter run last May, and Rice, who defeated the Hoosier ace in the Millrose two-mile several weeks ago, have met three times in the past with the tiny Notre Dame man winning each time. Their first meeting was in the 5000-meter run last June in the Na- tional AAU meet at Buffalo when Rice finished strong on a blistering hot, day to win the event. Ralph, bothered by the heat and a distance to which he was not accustomed, fin- ished fourth in that race. That Millrose Race The next meeting of the two was in Return Of Rae Bolsters Hopes Of Wolverines Ji 'Feels Pretty Good' After Two Five-Minute Workouts With Varsity Michigan's hopes of handing last year's champion Purdue quintet a surprise when they clash Saturday took a slight rise yesterday afternoon as center Jim Rae broke back into the lineup after a week's absence nursing his bad back. The tall Wolverine star, whose ability to play varies with the condi- tion of a troublesome sacroiliac, scrimmaged for two five minute stretches and declared that he "felt pretty good." And that's good news to everybody. The only qUestion is, how long will that back hold out in actual competition? To Try Again Ever since the final game of the pre-Conference schedule against To- ledo, Jim has been troubled with the injury and twice he has had to lay off completely. He's ready to try again now and will probably see some action against the Boilermakers al- though his ,condition will be far from A-i. Second string center John Nichol- son, who has been another casualty with a case of jaundice, was back in uniform and may get into action to- day. In yestercday's scrimmage against the second team, the Varsity showed encouraging signs, the best of which was some good shooting. Eddie Thomas was connecting with the long ones, Charley Pink got his left hand into working order and toward the end of the drill Capt. Leo Beebe was sinking them as of old. Leo Falters Leo has been in the throes of a ter- rific slump which has played havoc with his "batting average." He has made only seven field goals in the last mile, an invitational affair in New York city, and Rice again won. Lash finished second and Schwarzkopf3 was only inches behind the Hoosier cop, in third place. Rice's margin over Ralph this time was less than two seconds. Their third meeting, last Saturday in the Illinois Relays, can hardly bel termed a real test of their abilities. Qualification No. 1-each had run a mile or its metric equivalent before that evening. Qualification No. 2-' they were just two more guys in a field of some 30 milers for the first' few laps of the team mile race. At that, Rice won and Ramblin' Ralph was, according to observers, less than a half-foot back in second. The Local Meeting Now comes one more meeting of two /of America's best at the two- mile distance. And there will be an- other point in Schwarzkopf's favor besides the fact that he has steadily reduced the margin of defeat. Rice, according to reports coming from South Bend, will attempt one of the most difficult of track doubles and will be entered in both the mile and two-mile as the Irish are some- what undermanned in the longer- distance runs. Coach Charlie Hoyt will send Hod Davidson and Karl Wisner out to -run the mile and you can bet that those Wolverines will not pull their punches when it comes time for that killing last lap stretch drive. The two-mile, an hour later, will bring together a fresh Schwarz- kopf and a Rice who will have run a tough mile. All in all this next meeting of a couple of members of the We-Beat- ( I Hockey Squad Fisher's Freshma Leaves Today Gives Benny I For Minnesota By MAURY MAZER Freshman Coach Ray Fisher gave; Varsity Coach Bennie Oosterbaan Golden Gophers Favored another look at his basketball hope- To Defeat Michigan SiX fuls the other day and Bennie really .i . egot an eyeful for Fisher's youthful crew went out and battled the Var- sity almost to a standstill.

All-Star Detroiter At the guards Fisher has alternat- ed Don Holman, Dave Tritten, and Jim Grissen. Of the three, Hol- man, who was named on the Detroil All-City team while in high school is the best offensively. Don com- bines his speed with a left handed hook shot and also has a natura ability for feeding the ball. Grissen is a deliberate, steady bal handler who never gets rattled under any circumstances. He is also ver3 capable at guarding and at working the backboard. Tritten is the best defensive bal player on the team and is for thi; reason a very valuable man. He alse has shown some ability at tossing it the long ones.

To support this line Coach Lowrey will use Tobin, Ross, and Samuelson. Completely recovered from his neck injury received in the second game at the Coliseum, Marty Falk will once again be guarding the Gopher net. Also minus his adhesive covered face John Mariucci will be at his defensive post ready to pick up with the Michi- gan team where he left off in the last encounter. Cramp, who also played havoc with Michigan in the Coliseum will be on hand at the other defense position. St. Vincent, Paulsen, and Pickering make up the forward line that will start against the Wolverines at Minneapolis.
