IN THIS CORNER By Mel Fineberg (Editor's Note: This week the col- umn is being written by the members of the junior sports staff who are applying for the position of sports editor for the coming year. Today's column is written by Herm Epstein, who has been covering varsity track.) Coach, Modern Style... We were in our favorite drug store Sunday night, and having many bet- ter things to do, proceeded to read the first sports story magazine we've read in years. There was one story on our favorite sport, track, so we ran through it. It was about a griz- zled veteran coach who, true to the fictional idea of a coach, was trying in his enigmatic manner to build the characters of his rich-man's- son and across-the-track mile stars by playing them against each other in some ill-defined way. He did it, of course, though the reasoning was too involved for us. But, the point that struck us was the difference between that man and Michigan's own varsity track coach who was at that moment, and is at this mo- ment, lying ill in a Des Moines hospital. Michigan is extremely fortunate in the competence of its coaches, much more fortunate than most of us realize. And the man who typi- fies what we think the coach of the future should be is Ken Doherty, though we select him only because we know him better than the others. It is his kind of coach who will, in the not-far-distant future, be at the reins of the nation's and the world's athletics. Doherty has no esoteric formula for building character; he doesn't, we think, even attempt to build character at all. That seems to be the right way, for a coach is busy enough building the bodies of his men without taking time off to wres- tle with anything as intangible as character. The new kind of coach is a scientist-coach. If we were writ- ing a philosophy paper, we'd call him somewhat of a practical philosopher. If a philosopher can be defined as one who cogitates about everything that men have learned and tries to coalesce it into a harmonic whole, then someone who applies his all- around philosophy of science to human beings is a practical philosopher. This scientist-coach is a student. Take the record of Michigan's track coach: American decathlon cham- pion in 1928, he represented the United States in the Olympics at Amsterdam and finished third. That gave him the all-around experience that seems to be the sole recommen- dation of most coaches at the pres- ent time. But, then we find a bache- lor's degree in physical education; then a master's degree; and this year Doherty finished the course work for his doctor's degree and began work on his thesis. Here is a coach still attending school more than ten years after getting his first degree, and planning to take eight more hours in summer school this year. Among the courses he's taken are studies in physiology, and some medicine, but in addition there is work in chemistry, 9i1y- also be revamped. Bud Chamberlain, who incurred a bad- f r:. ly bruised hand in the Indiana series, will be replaced at third base by Davie v Nelson, while big Forest Evashevski, who clouted a hom- er in the second Hoosier game, will start in right field in order to add some Evashevski punch to the Wolverine batting order. Coach John Kobs' Spartans, riddled by graduation and injuries, have found the going rather rough thus far this season.; Last Saturday, State suffered an ignominious 19-6 shel- lacking at the hands of Western State Teachers. George Monroe, who was a co- victim of Michigan's 17-hit assault last year when the Varsity walloped State, 13-5, is slated to start on the mound for the Spartans today.

ST.

Phil Cavarretta and Augie Galan hit homers for the Cubs, who numerous scoring chances.

University athletic officials de- nied last night that there was any truth to the report that freshman coach Chester R. Stackhouse would assume varsity track coaching du- ties for the remainder of the year while Ken Doherty convalesces from his attack of stomach hemorrhages. Herbert Orrin (Fritz) Crisler said late last night that as far as he knew "Ken" has been advised to re- main in Des Moines for the rest of the week but will return after that to resume his duties. "There isn't any foundation, as far as I know," Crisler continued, "to the rumor that Stackhouse will take over," Stackhouse corroborated in every respect, Crisler's denial. "The rumor is absolutely unfounded and unfor- tunate," Stack said. "Mrs. Doherty, who left for Des Moines Sunday morning, wired back that Ken was resting well and would remain there for the rest of the week.

University course, the reserves swamped the frosh, 24/2-1112 to end a grudge battle which the yearlings had de- manded be played. Led by Cliff James and John Barr who. swept their best ball match against Bud Arnold and Morrie Boas and also blanked their freshman op- ponents in the singles totals, the Re- serves dominated the play through- out. However, Walt Schmidt took three points from Fred Dannenfelser in his singles match and Ben Smith showed exceptional form as he split his singles match with Lynn Riess to aid the frosh cause. Bob Fife took 2' points from his Reserve opponent, Fred Lamb, as he and Smith split their doubles match with Lamb and Riess. Phys EdGame To Test Frosh Baseball Nine Unless rainy weather sets in to change his plans, Ernie McCoy, new addition to Michigan'scoaching staff, will put his freshman baseball squad through a week of prolonged drills, topped off by a gaine with the Phys Eds on Friday. Last Friday the squad went through its longest workout of the season as it played a seven inning game, in which the Mudcats took a 3-0 deci- sion from the Alley-Rats. Jim Sears, first basemian, led the victors' batj ting attack as he garnered two doubles and a single out of three times at bat. Pitchers Tom Neatherton, varsity reserve, and Lefty Ernie Schultz div- ided the hurling chores for the Mud- cats. The latter was particularly im- pressive as he chucked hitless ball during the three innings in which he worked. McCoy has nearly completed his task of pruning the squad down to 18 men. With an outfit of this size he hopes to be able to develop some promising material for next year's varsity, and to spend more time witht the best-looking candidates.

"Ken had a general plan for the entire squad and a definite program for each individual," the former Saginaw high school mentor con- tinued, "and the squad could func- tion without a coach or captain, fairly efficiently. So we don't ex- pect too much difficulty. Doherty had had stomach trouble before which necessitated an oper- ation two years ago. He was stricken first Friday night, but delivered a short talk to the team before they went on the field Saturday after- noon. Soon thereafter he suffered another attack and was taken to the hospital.

This practical philosopher is not, as is the pure philosopher, apart from humans as he plies his trade. If he errs, a human being suffers, so his knowledge re- quires a more practical under- standing of human nature and its reactions. The coach's task is building a strong container to carry the essence of our personality and experience through life, and a task like that requires a scientist. Healthy bodies are, in general, requisite to healthy minds, whereas the most stupid of persons can live happily and health- ily in their surroundings. Anyhow, we were struck with the thought that we wouldn't want our son to be trained by that grizzled, character-building coach but would infinitely prefer a man of the Do- herty type-a scientist who is spe- cializing in building healthy men. And, that's the kind of a man a coach should be, so we believe. -H.T.E. 3__ _...i ................. .............. r ,',, How to read a love letter I.. I5 ORDER CAPS & GOWNS NOW Summer Formal ~~2gi&ed I 8' '8 IS YOUNG MAN has just received his first love letter. He may have already read it three or four times, but he is just beginning. To read it as accurately as he would like would require several dictionaries and a good deal of close work with a few experts on etymology and philology. However, he will do all right without them. He will ponder over the exact shade of meaning of every word, every comma. She has headed the letter "Dear John". What, he asks himself, is the exact significance of those words? Did she refrain from saying "Dearest" because she was bash- ful? Would "My Dear" have sounded too formal? Jeepers, maybe she would have said "Dear So-and-So" to anybody! A worried frown will now appear on his face. But it dis- appears as soon as he really gets to. thinking about the first sentence. She certainly wouldn't have written that to anybody! A ND SO HE WORKS his way through the letter, one moment perched blissfully on a cloud, the next moment huddled miserably behind an eight-ball. It has started a hundred questions in his mind. He could quote it by heait. In fact, he will-to him- self - for weeks to come. If people read books with anything like the same concentration, we'd be a race of mental giants. But we don't - and we aren't. And it's unlikely that even the greatest book can be read with the same intensity and devotion to detail the young man above has employed in reading his first love letter. Yet most of us could read books a lot better than we do. In fact, very few people really know how. Which is nothing to be ashamed of - we were simply noi taught how in schools. We were taught only how to read words, and reading books is an altogether different thing. SINCE TIHE wORDS "so what?" are probably trembling on your lips, a book has just been published which actually does show how - Mortimer J. Adler's How To Read a Book. You have probably heard of it. And possibly you've thought that there isn't anything you can be shown on the subject-that anyone who is over eight and not cutting out paper dolls can read a book. If so, you'll be interested in what Clifton Fadiman, "The New Yorker's" book critic and M.C. of "Information,Please!", has to say about it in his "New Yorker" c6lumn: "I wish to recommend this book to all literates who would like to learn to read. From How To Read a Book I have actu- ally learned how to read a book." SO HAvE a great many others. Ever since publi- cation more than a thousand people a day have bought themselves copies. Nobody has asked if a new publication would be issued called fHow To Read low To Read a Book-because it's so clear and helpful by itself. It is a book 'for all of us who know we didn't learn enough at school or college. And for all of us who would like to make great e books as much a part of ourselves as we did the first love letter we ever received. The smart new Summer Tux of spun rayon is full- lined.
