won five staight indoor centuri

Hough In Breast Stroke
Probably the feature event on tU
two-day card is the 220-yard breast
stroke with Princeton's Dick Houg
last year's "Outstanding Swimme
defending his title against unquec
tionably the fastest group that he
ever competed in this stroke.
'For the old school of veterans in
eluding, Hough and Johnny Higgir
from Ohio will find a younger gene
ation around that can really trav
via the butterfly method. Headii
the list of youths is Ann Arbor's ov
Jim Skinner, the Michigan freshma
ace, who won the outdoor title la
summer in Detroit.
Heading the list of backstrokei
on hand for tomorrow's clash is t
r amazing dorsal star from Chicag+
Adolph Kiefer, who will be favor
to win in world record time or there
alfout. Even Al Vande Weghe, th
great collegian from Princeton, is n
in Kiefer's class, but the Tiger ve

runner-up spot. Also in the runnin
will be Francis Heydt of Michigan

To Start For Michigan
CHAPEL HILL, N.C., April 4.-_
Coach Ray Fisher and his Michigan
baseball team arrived here today to
launch their 1940 season against the
University of North Carolina nine
tomorrow afternoon at Varsity Field.
Lanky Russ Dobson, bespectacled
righthand curve-ball artist, has been
selected to start on the mound for
the Wolverines. Fisher plans on
keeping Dobson in the box as long as
the latter feels right, and relieving
him with Lyle Bond or Mickey Stod-
dard should Russ tire.
Fisher Has Six Vets
The Wolverines, with but three
days outdoor practice behind them,
will take the field with six veterans
in the eight remaining positions.
Evashevski will start behind the plate;
Ruehle on first base; Steppon, sec-
ond, Sofiak at shortstop and sopho-
more Bud Chamberlain at third.
The outfield will be comprised of
Trosko in left field, Captain Pink in
center, Don Holman in right field
against right-hand pitching j.nd
Davie Nelson against southpaws.,-
The Tar Heels have already played
four games on their season's sched-
ule. The Southerners opened with an
8-7 victory over Maryland and
dropped the next three games to
Penn, Harvard and Cornell, the first
two being one-run decisions.
Benton Takes Mound
Coach Bunn Hearn, who prepped
'such stars as Burgess Whitehead, Lew
Riggs, Nate Andrews, Johnny Hum-
phries and Johnny Peacock for their
major league careers, will probably
start Horace "Red" Benton, veteran
right-hander, on the mound against
the Wolverines. Benton was defeat-
ed by Harvard, Monday, by the score

golfers Saturday as the Wolverines
start their annual "Swing in the

Ernie McCoy, Freshman Coach
Bill Combs, one of the most col-
orful wrestlers on Cliff Keen's
grappling squad was honored last
night by his teammates as they
selected him to succeed Butch Jor-
dan as their new captain. Combs
is undefeated in dual meet compe-
tion this year.
Mat men Elect
Combs Captain
For, Next Year
The University of Michigan wrest-
ling team, runner-up to Indiana in
the Western Conference and to Okla-
homa A. & M. and the Hoosiers in
the National Intercollegiates, met in
the Founders' Room of the Michigan
Union last night and elected Bill
Combs as its 1940 mat captain. The
popular Oklahoman received a unan-
imous vote for the captaincy at the
annual letterman's banquet given by
Coach Cliff Keen.
Combs succeeds Forrest "Butch"
Jordan in the honor position and
from all appearances will lead an-
other highly successful mat team
during next year's campaigns. The
Tulsa junior returned to the team
after an absence during the first
semester this year and began his por-
tion of the season with a victory at
155 pounds in the Michigan State
meet.
An injured knee kept him from the
championship in the recent Big Ten
meet. As Michigan's other finalist, he
fell before Ohio State's Tony Mon-
tonaro, 9 to 5, but defeated Morton
of Minnesota in the consolation mat-
ches to take second and add three
points to his team's total. Bill also
took a second in the National Inter-
collegiate tournament at Champaign
last weekend and is rated as one of
the two top wrestlers in the country
at 145 pounds. He was nipped in his
final match by Harold Masem, East-
ern Intercollegiate Champion, from
Lehigh.
Bill was right up at the top in 1939
also. He breezed into a second place
in the Conference meet with a vic-
tory over Kemp of Iowa and was de-
feated only by Henson, Oklahoma A.
& M., twice national champ, at 155, in
the nationals. Depending upon speed
Combs has run up a brilliant string of
dual competition victories during his
wrestling career for the Wolverines.

Lloyd Mangrum, 24-year-old assistant
pro from Oak Park, Ill., broke the

shot an eight-under-par 64 that gave
him the first-round lead in the sev-
enth annual Masters Golf Tourna-
ment.
The Texas-born newcomer, one of
the last two players to qualify for
this all-star competition, played each
nine in 32 strokes.
