Yost, "Grand Old Man" of Wolverine sport tradition, the well-knit Maize and Blue coaching staff comprises some of the nation's most renowned ath- letic mentors. Yost, himself symbolizing in every respect the great spirit and sports- manship which has come to be syn- onymous with Michigan, and which he has built up through his untiring efforts from the time his "point-a- minute" gridiron aggregations were making football history right up to the present, still remains the moti- vating force behind the Wolverine set-up in his capacityhas athletic director. Crisler Takes Over Assistant athletic director and chief pilot of Michigan's football fortunes is Herbert Orrin Crisler, more commonly known as "Fritz." Assuming control of the Wolverine gridiron team when it was entrench- ed in the morass of mediocrity in 1938, Crisler immediately injected into the Maize and Blue his master- ful touch which had won him coach- ing fame at Chicago, Minnesota, and Princeton, and a highly successful season resulted, an occurrence that was 'duplicated again last fall. When Crisler left Princeton he selected Earl Martineau, Tiger back- field coach, to accompany him here in the same capacity. Martineau won All-American halfback honors at Minnesota in 1923, at the same time being awarded the Western Conference medal for proficiency in scholarship and athletics. Munn Is Line Coach Another Minnesota all-time grid- iron great who is now at Michigan Jinxed Varsity Neiters Vision BrightFuture By GERRY SCMAF ANDER Despite withdrawals, ineligibilities, and injuries, the 1940 edition of the Michigan tennis team should do as 'well as last year's team which fin- ished third in the Big Ten. The Wolverine's toughest compe- tition in the dual meets and Confer- ence championships will undoubted- ly come from Northwestern, Wiscon- sin, Chicago, Ohio State, and Illin- ois. The Big Ten meet will be held at Evanston, Ililnois, May 23, 24 and 25, on the home courts of North- western University. Northwestern is the odds on favor- ite to win the title with Seymour Greenberg, National Public Parks champion, Jerry Clifford, and Har- rison O'Neill their top men. Wisconsin, with Sherwood Goren- stein, Art Nielsen and Ed Koehl will be just as formidable. Chicago, the outstanding tennis team in the Mid- dle West, and Big Ten champions for the past four years, has lost the Murphy twins, Chet and Bill, Sho- strom,yand Art Kritenstein and are expected to be much weaker. How- ever, the addition of Pat Sawyer, Chicago junior champion, will strengthen it to the point where it must be considered before the trophies are handed out. If all goes well, Michigan will be one of the ranking tennis squads in the Middle West next spring. Lawton Hammett, one of the outstanding prospects to hit the campus in years, is expected to be eligible along with Jim Porter, who earlier this spring beat Carl Fischer, Detroit City Champ. Jim Tobin, who has been ailing with a bad knee, anticipates an oper- ation this summer. If this is success- ful and Tobin approximates the form he reached against O'Neill of North- western in the Conference champion- ships last June,,Coach Weir will have at his disposal probably the out- standing trio in the Conference and Middle West.

The brilliant Kane won the mile indoors and was second in the 880. In both eyents he is potentially a record-breaker, though he hasn't yet shown that he can double successfully. In addition to Michigan's return- ing champions, four other title- holders will be back to defend their crowns: Myron Piker, Northwest- ern's 100-yard-dash king; Cochran in the low hurdles; Roger Poorman, Indiana's javelin thrower; and Ed Buxton, Wisconsin's indoor and out- door 880 champion. Of these, Piker, Cochran and Poor- man will be favored to repeat, but 'Buxton, who surprised the experts by winning the indoor title, will have to step to defeat Kane. Ohio's Les Eisenhart, and Michigan's Dye Ho- gan a second time. If the breaks aren't completely hostile, Michigan can run up an im- pressive winning total, while if they go against the Wolverines -there is a possibility of defeat. The Hoosiers can expect little improvement over what they did indoors, but Michigan, can easily gain more points in every running event from the dash through the mile. With the bril- liant sophomore pole vault prospect, Charlie Decker, back in shape, and with Ostroot expected to gain points in the shot put, the Wolverines could run up a big lead.

In charge of the all-important job of training freshman gridders for the future jump to the varsity is Wally Weber, yearling football mentor, who blasted Michigan opponents back in 1925 and 1926 as a fullback. The only Michigan man to be hon- ored with All-American football se- lection for three years, Bennie Ooster- baan, is still devoting his athletic energies to the Wolverine cause. One of Michigan's few nine-letter men, Bennie now serves as head basket- ball coach, and in addition was re- cently named to take over the duties of end coach on the football team, succeeding Campbell Dickson. Faced with the tough task of maintaining Wolverine track pres- tige at the pinnacle to which it had been built up by his successors, Steve Farrell and Charlie Hoyt, Ken Doh- erty proved himself equal to the occasion last winter when he brought his indoor track squad through to a Big Ten Championship in his first test. Ken was national decathlon champion in 1928 and 1929, and in the 1928 Olympics placed third in this event at Antwerp. Stackhouse Fills Vacancy When Doherty moved up from his freshman post to become varsity track mentor this year, Chester Stackhouse, Saginaw High school coach, was chosen to fill the vacancy. Stackhouse has compiled an impos- ing record as a developer of track- men. Such track luminaries as Bill Watson, Ralph Schwarzkopf, and Jack Leutritz performed under Stackhouse before winning college fame. A famed major league hurler with the Cincinnati Reds and the New York Yankees, Ray Fisher has serv- ed in the capacity of head baseball coach since 1921, and in that time has produced six Big Ten champion- ship diamond teams. A record unparalleled in swimming history has been compiled since the advent of Matt Mann, admiral of the tankmen. Coming to Michigan in 1925, Mann has led his natators to 11 Big Ten and 11 National Collegiate titles. Weir Is Tennis Mentor With an imposing record as a per- former behind him, Leroy Weir as- sumed the coaching duties of the Maize and Blue tennis team two years ago. Since that time his net teams have turned in an impressive dual meet record, and prospects for future improvement are bright. Although Cliff Keen is a lawyer by profession, he devotee his energies to handling the Michigan wrestling. team. While an undergraduate at Oklahoma A. & M. Keen copped the national heavyweight mat champ- ionship. Since Eddie Lowrey took over hockey coaching responsibilities in 1927, his teams have won three Big Ten titles and tied for two others. Lowrey, himself, was a star puck performer on the old Ottawa Sen- ators. After winning twelve letters at Ok- lahoma University, in addition to attaining Phi Beta Kappa honors, Ray Courtright went to the Univer- sity of Nevada, then came to Michi- gan to handle the golf coaching EARL MARTINEAU CLIFF KEEN duties, which he has done in capable signed.
