1'. '", SEPT 2Q, 1938 THE M_ ICHIGA N DAILY PAGE Varsity Tankers Await Heavy Schedule Michigan Tank Squad Will Be PowerfulAgain Intercollegiate Champions' Strength To Be Found In Distance Events Although weakened in the sprints by the graduation of Captain Ed Kir- ar, the swimming forces of Coach Matt Mann, National Intercollegiate title-holders, are going to "be in swell shape" when any championships are being decided. The departure of "Moose" Kirar, 50- and 100yard free-style champion in both. Big Ten and Nationals for - two years running, (meaning swim- ming) cuts a large hole in the sprint forces of the Mann men and the hole was ruptured still further by the present ineligibility of Long Walt Tomski, who must overcome one E before returning to the tank fold. Sophomores Help , But this loss is far overshadowed by the strength of the incoming sophomores. Backstrokers Bill Beebe and Chaley Barker, best of last year's yearling crop, can also take their turn swimming on their stomach and both, can do so at a rapid rate. It is in the longer events that Michi- gan will wield the balance of power. Here Captain-elect Tom Haynie, 220- and 440- winner in the Big Ten two years in a row, and the recipient of the best college swimmer award in America two years ago when only a sophomore, and Ed Hutchins, a mem- ber of the championship relay team, will, be ably assisted by sophomores Jimmy Welch and Art Ebling. The heavy preponderance of material here presages a pssible sweep of four palaces inz the Big Ten Meet. Breast Stroker Returns Wolverine strength is carried over into the breast stroke. Johnny Haigh, who, as a sophomore last year, got better every time he took the water and finally finished third in the Big Ten and fourth in the Nationals, will be aided by another first year man, Bob Newton. Newton, however, will nat be available until the second sem- ester. In the diving, Michigan is surebto be strong but the extent of that strength will depend on how many of last year's divers return' to school. A sure pint winner, who should fin- ish second only to the nation's num- ber one diver Al Patnik, is Hal Ben- ham. Benham, who was severely handicapped last year by a broken arm, but who finished third in the nationals in spite of the loss of train- ing incurred as a result of the casual- ty, should be even better this winter. Adolph Fernstenfeld and Jack Wolin, both letter-winners last year, are as yet undecided about returning to school. More Diving Aid Up from last year's strong fresh- man squad will be slight Tommy O'Neil, Ralph Pyszynski and Jim Wilkinson. There should be little trouble here. The opposition in the Big Ten should come from defending cham- pion Ohio State. The Columbus crew, with all its name swimmers, will tangle with the Wolverines in what should turn out to be just a dual meet between the two clubs. In the rest of the loop, .Northwestern will be stronger but not strong enough to thre ,ten the stranglehold which the Buckeyes and the Wolverines have on Western Conference swimming supremacy. In the nationals to which Mihi- gan will play host on the last week- end in March, the set-up should be about the same. Harvard and Yale will again be good but it'll be Michi- gan and Ohio State at, the finish. According to Matt Mann "we're the defending champions and so we should be the team to beat." And as it has Bieen for the last twelve years, the team.thathbeats Michigan will be the champion. But this year it's going to be awfully, awfully tough to beat Michigan. Yearling Trackmen Should Report Now All prospective trackmen in the class of '42 should report to Ferry Field any afternoon this week, Ken Doherty, freshman track coach an- nounced today. While track is considered a spring sport at most schools, it is the prac- tice for the cindermen to work out the year round, and a regular program is planned for the yearlings, according to Coach Doherty.

Michigan is the deiendirg national champion, having annexed the title at Rutgers last year. In New Brunswick, the outcome of the meet was not de- cided until the last event, the 400- yard relay, which the Wolverines won. As a result of this victory and Har- vard's nosing out of Ohio State for second place, the Wolverines eked out a 46-45 decision over the highly fav- ored Buckeyes. Harvard finished third with 36 points. The meet this year should be just as thrilling. With the Columbus squad anxious to revenge what they are wont to term a fluke victory and an even stronger Wolverine tank team eager to prove the reverse, the meet should be, in the swing vernacular, a "killer-diller." The strength of Harvard and Yale cannot safely be under-estimated. Yale is tr'aditionally strong and Har- vard's rapid rise to the swimming fore leaves them always dangerous. Another feature of the winter's swimming .schedule will be the dual meet between Michigan and'Yale on February 11. This meet is a natural. For years Yale was the stronghold of swimming in the East. Year in and year out they turned out strong squads under the tutelage of Bob Kiphuth and at one' time ran a consecutive victory streak to over 150 meets. In the West, Michigan, under Matt Mann, has raised another swimming Colossas. Gradually the Wolverines superseded the Eli squad but until last year had never beaten them in a dual meet while the Blue had been Kiphuth," said Matt Mann. "Thy get victors in two. the cream of the East to came there Last year at New Haven, the meet under hzn and so they're always was not decided until the last event good." when Tom Haynie touched out Yale's The meet will be a renewal of the John Macionis in the last leg of the friendly feud between Coaches Kip- relay to give the Varsity its first huth and Mann. dual meet victory.

It is in the Intramural Building Pool that on March 24 and 25, the University of Michigan's swim team will attempt to retain its National Intercollegiate crown captured last year at Rutgers. In the same pool, the swimming team will play host for the first time in its history to the Yale squad. To Hold T ruebl ood Glf Tourney ATTENTION FRESHMAN ENGI NEERS! You. Can Save on EQUIP e NT and The annual Trueblood trophy con- test, equivalent of an all-camp :s medal play golf championship, will be run off on the week-ends of Oct. 8 and 15, according to Golf Coach Ray O. Courtright. The event, which is a 72 hole af- fair, will be open to any undergradu- ate on the campus except winners of varsity golf letters and past winners of the trophy. Jim Loar was last years champion and then he pro- ceeded to earn his letter the follow- ing spring in intercollegiate compe- tition.. Eighteen holes will be played on Saturday, Oct. 8, another round the following day with 36 holes finishing out the total on the next week-end. The trophy is donated by Profes- sor-Emeritus Thomas C. Trueblood, former golf coach and head of the Speech Department of the University, which he organized in 1884. In 1901' he fostered the first golf team in the Big Ten and it was largely through his efforts that, other schools fol - lowed suit. Through his work in this direction, he has often been called "the father of collegiate golf in the west." The purpose of the tournament, other than providing fun, recreation and competition for the students, is to determine what new material is DANCING Class & individual in- struction in all types of dancing.
