", JUNE 2, 1930 THE MICHIGAN DAILY ',JUNE 2,1939 THE MICHIGAN DAILY IN THIS CORNER By Mel Fineberg Three Marches On ... Coach Ray Fisher was catching for the Old Timers in their game with the Varsity yesterday and, if our opinion may be expressed, Mr. Fisher, albeit quite active, is not as spry as he once was. But this is not a story of Mr. Fisher but of one Clyde "Bucky" Crouse. Clyde "Bucky" Crouse may not have been a first off- spring of Adam and Eve but he is often pointed out by veteran anthro- pologists as one of the prize rem- nants of the Neanderthal Man. Well, this Bucky Crouse has knocked around some in his base- ball days. He played with the Chicago Sox after the War, caught for the Buffalo Bisons for so long that the umpires dusted him off with the plate, managed the Baltimore Orioles and wound up playing for the Chattanooga Lookouts this year. One day, early in the year, Crouse was cavorting around in his usual backstop position, looking out for the Lookout, In the press box was a cub reporter, substituting for the regular scribe who was probably someplace attending his grandmoth- er's funeral. After watching Old Methusela Crouse perform that day,' the embryionic Damon Runyan wrote in his cover "This newcomer Crouse looked very promising behind the plate but he should be farmed out for more experience." Baseball Squad Elects Charley Pink 1940 Captain Varsity Nine Beats Leads Varsity Batters With Mark Of .377 Rated Best Leadoff Man In By Wolverine Coach Ray History Fisher (Continued from Page 1) ceeded Fisher to catch the eye of Coax; and won himself the regular Varsity left field berth in his sopho- more year, winding up the season with a batting average of .319. Pink's baseball skill has not been limited to his batting, however. Char- ley is an excellent fielder and pos- sesses an accurate throwing arm. In two full years of Varsty competition Pink has made only two errors. His speed on the base paths netted him 15 stolen bases, one short of the number made by Mike Sofiak, who led the team in that department. "I'm very pleased with the team's choice," commented Coach Fisher following the announcement. "Char- ley's a good ball player and should make an inspiring leader." In addition to his diamond activity, Pink has also been a first string for- ward on Coach Bennie Oosterbaan's basketball team for two years. Otto R. Becker, '40, of La Salle, Ill., was appointed Varsity manager of the -1940 baseball team and John W. Rane, Jr., '40, of Ann Arbor was named alternate. Athletic Award Won By Beebe Eight Michigan Runners Enter State A.A.U.'s By HERM EPSTEIN Michiganders will get another peek at four of the Michigan members of the Big Ten track team, when they, and four other Wolverine runners, go to Ypsilanti for the State AAU's which1 will be held Saturday, June 10. j For outsiders, the entrance of War- ren Breidenbach and Phil Balyeat in the 440 will provide the big news.i Both of the sophomore stars have indicated that they will run, and if they do, the present state mark should take a (beating. The two have run+ 47.2 and 47.7 respectively, and any-' thing approaching those times will create a new record. Ackerman, Dobson Enter Fromca Michigan standpoint, how- ever, the most important entries are those of two freshman runners, Bill Ackerman and Bill Dobson. Though their points will not be counted with the Wolverines' since they are not Varsity men, what they do will give a good line on what to expect from them next year. Ackerman has been running almost by himself this year, with none of the other freshmen being able to push him in the mile and two-mile. He will enter the longer distance, and his performance will tell much about how much company Ralph Schwartz- kopf will have next year. Dobson, the young brother of Russ and Jack, will run in the 440 at Ypsi, but his forte is the low hurdles, at which distance he was one of the best in the state while in high school. Watson To Perform Capt. Bill Watson is going over "to. get a workout" before leaving for the West. Watson will enter his three favorite events, the broad jump, dis- cus, and shot put, and intends to take in the 100-yard dash. Last year Bill set new AAU records in the shot put and broad jump. Al Smith will enter the 100 and 220-yard dashes, Stan Kelley will compete in the high and low hurdles, and Bob Hockberger will throw the javelin. Seven Varsity Netmen Given Major Awards Four Reserves Receive Numerals; Tobin Wins In Number Two Singles Coach Leroy Weir announced yes- terday that Varsity letters were awarded to seven members of the tennis squad, and reserve awards to four. The team returned early yester- day morning after taking third place in the Conference meet at Chicago, and will not convene to choose next year's captain until" next week. Four seniors, who wound up their collegiate net career last weekend were among the letter winners. They are: Capt. Don Percival, Saginaw; Ed Morris, Youngstown, Ohio; Steve Woolsey, Evanston, Ill.; and John Kidwell,,Wayne. Of the four, Perci- val and Kidwell were the onik ones to survive the first rounds at Chica- go. However, each was eliminated in the semi-final round. The other three to receive Varsity awards were all first year men: Jim Tobin, Highland Park; Jim Porter, Salt Lake City, Utah; and Sam Durst, New York. Tobin was the only Michi- gan man to reach the finals at Chica- go and went on to win the number two crown. Durst reached the finals, but was eliminated by Jim Atkins of Chicago, while Porter did not com- pete. Reserve numerals were given to Bernard Dober, Bridgeport, Conn.; Chet Phillipson, Flint; and Bob Jef- fers and Howard Bacon, Grosse Pointe. DODGERS DEFEAT CHICAGO BROOKLYN, June 1.-(P)-Gene Moore tripled and subsequently stole home in the 14th inning tonight to give the Brooklyn Dodgers a 3 to 2 victory over the Chicago Cubs with whom they had played a 19-inning 9-9 tie ended by darkness at Chi- cago May 17. 0 d To Join Senators Baer Stopped In 11th Round Referee Fullam Halts Bout After Max Is Cut YANKEE STADIUM, New York, June 1.-(P)-Lou Nova, blonde Ala- meda, Calif., youngster, punched Max Baer's face into a bloody mess to-. night and stopped the ex-heavy- weight champion via the technical knockout route in 11 rounds. Baer weighed 2101/2; Nova 202. Referee Frankie Fullam halted the bout at 1:21 of the 11th after Nova, recovering from several right hand shots that shook him in the earlier rounds, cut Max's face with short right chops and stabbing left hands. The referee said he halted the con- test because of a bad cut inside Baer's mouth, the blood from which seemed to be choking the ex-titleholder. Nova held a slight margin on points through the ten full rounds of the scheduled 15 round fight, despite the fact he lost two heats, the fourth and fifth, for low punching. The sev- enth was taken away from Baer for hitting after the bell. Lou was the stronger in the first few rounds, but Max's right hand shots in the fifth and sixth weakened him considerably. However, he re- covered with the start of the seventh and was hitting Baer almost at will from midway of the seventh through to the end. Varsity Nine ]Beats Old Timers 10-6 The Old Timers of the M Club basked in the spotlight for five in- nings but latent Varsity batting power came to life in the last four innings to give Coach Ray Fisher's nine a 10 to 6 victory at Ferry Field. It took a mighty home run drive into thektennis courts in right field by Forest Evashevski in the seventh and last inning to put the game on ice. Evashevski's blow came with the score tied at 6 all and the bases jammed at the expense of Harley McNeal, a member of the 1932 Michi- gan team which went to Japan. The score by innings: Old Timers . ... 200 021 1- 6 8 0 Varsity........000 240 4-10 10 4 Tillotson, Asbeck, Wistert, McNeal and Fisher. Bond, Dobson and Evashevski. Droste And Luery Win I-M Positions Jack Droste, '40, of Grand Rapids, and Robert Luery, '39E, of Escanaba, have been awarded the senior Intra- mural managerial positions for next year. Both have been active as junior managers with the I-M departments, Droste having charge of the All- Campus activities and Luery the fac- ulty participation. They succeed Herb Lev and George Petersen.

The fight ended by a technical kayo in 1:21 of the 11th round. But before McLemore exercises his well-earned perogative to gloat, let him remember that the day after Johnstown won the Kentucky Derby he called the Woodward bay, "a bet- ter horse than Man O' War." And the very next week, Challedon punc- tured the Johnstown bubble in the Preakness. Pathos and dramatic irony can be found in a full page ad in a recent weekly magazine. The ad was about tires and one of the plugs ran "champion race drivers, whose very lives and chances of victory depend on tire safety, know tire construction and that is why they select and buy Tires for their racing cars." And the famous race driver in the ad, who depended on good tires, was the 1938 winner of the 500-mile Indianapolis Speedway Race, Floyd Roberts. Roberts was killed in the Classic last Tuesday. * * * * It 39 Seniors Receive Blankets At Banquet M Leo Beebe was given the Conference award for proficiency in scholarship and athletics and. 39 seniors were awarded M blankets at the ,second annual M Club banquet at the Union last night.
