Bond For Three Runs
To Erase Varsity Lead
(Continued from Page 1)
Forest Evashevski in right field, the
danger appeared over.
But Bond lost control on Fred
Nyman, the next batter, to walk
him, load the bases, and set the
stage for Hill's Texas leaguer. John-
ny Cuckovich's single to left imme-
diately afterwards scored Nyman
with run number four, but it proved
superfluous as Overmire continued
to display his mastery over the
Wolverines in the last two innings.
The Broncos scored their only
other run on Bond in the first. With
two out, Hill walked and scored on
Cuckovich's long three-bagger to
deep left.
Michigan's brace of runs followed
in the third inning. George Ruehle
dropped a looping hit to center and
legged it around to second to beat
the throw in for a double. George
Harms then lined a hit to center to
send Ruehle across the plate with
the first tally.
Bond moved Harms to second with
a neat bunt from where the Wolver-
ine backstop scored on Captain
Charlie Pink's rap to right field.
Michigan lost a golden opportunity
to increase the lead in the seventh.
Dave Nelson fanned but made first
when Yarger missed the third strike.
Nelson promptly proceeded to steal
Second only to be picked off the bag
'a moment later by a snap throw
from Overmire to shortstop Kribs.
Ruehle and Harms followed with
singles, but second baseman Metz-
ger came through with a spectacular
stop of Bond's grounder between
first and second to retire the Varsity
hurler and end the inning.
Trosko pulled off the fielding gem
of the afternoon in the third
when he raced far out in deep
left field to pull down Metzger's
tremendous wallop on the dead run.
IN THIS CORNER
By MEL FINEBERG
Av Altqu. V-ale --
N LESS THAN four hours from the moment we write this, the Student
Publications Building will hum and buzz as its press begins to roll-
and as the ink slides over the lead type it will cover the caption In Thisl
Corner for the last time. For tonight a Board in Control of Publications
sweeps clean and the only corner we'll inhabit will be the northeast section
of The Daily morgue.
Traditionally this is a time for maudlin sentimentality, for ro-
mantic leave-takings, for tearful reminiscences. Traditionally this
is the time when outgoing sports editors, facing their last deadlne,
recount their friends and try to reclaim their enemies. But in our
mind this valedictory would be entirely out of context if it were not
of some constructive aid to the new sports editor.
So we look back, neither hurriedly nor passionately, over some 200
days of our year and pass this information along to him:
Hover carefully over the football situation, neither going overboard
nor being skeptical. Remember that football rules the roost, that it is
the pivotal point around which University athletics revolve. Hence it
requires minute looking into.
There are, however, certain facts which do not readily meet the eye.
That intangible team spirit that, when buoyant, lifts an eleven over seem-
ingly insuperable obstacles, and when low, drops them mysteriously into
a mental abyss, is one of them. It was something that we, during the past
year, took into consideration but evaluated none-too-well. So in this thing
take care. Remember that the 1940 football team will be a peculiar one,
a team of stars. Remember that the team spirit is generated from the
coach and that it rises and falls in direct proportion with the confidence
he inspires.
If there is anything that must be placed above all others it is that
your duty is conjunetly to the reading public and the athlete himself.
The athlete is a cog in a revolving wheel, too often likely to be crushed
if he should get out of the rhythm. In this regard it might be interesting
to inquire more closely into the case of Paul Kromer, whose withdrawal
from football might as well be attributed to an independent and recal-
citrant nature as an injured knee.
The question of democracy among the athletes is another important
issue. The participation of Negroes in contact sports should be carefully
considered.
And now that we've unburdened ourself of well-meaning advice
which will probably be forgotten by a well-meaning successor we'll pass
on our last few
CORNERSTONES:
Joe Batiste, star Arizona high school hurdler, has finally sent in his
application for admission here.. . There is considerable doubt as to whether
or not he'll be able to get in here . . . What Chicago high school football
star, mentioned as another DeCorrevont, is considering Michigan next
year?....What southern Ohio halfback and an Eastern Michigan halfback
are being sought after also? . . . Is there any truth to the rumor that no
more Kiski Prep players will come to school here? . . . Remember it was
Kiski from whence Jack Meyer, Howie Mehaffey, Kromer, Ralph Fritz and
Bob Ingalls came . . . An anonymous contributor wants to know if Ki'omer's
leg injury is any worse this year than it was last fall when he played in
several games . . . We don't know but can refer him to Dr. Carl Badgley
or Dr. George Hammond, who could probably tell him . . . And thirty-

erratic Fritz Bennetts from Ypsi,
dropping only three games in two1
sets. Gamon has been moved up to
the number two spot due to the lossi
of Tobin, and with a flatter and1
deeper backhand should show up well
in the remaining duel matches and
Conference championships.I
Harry Kohl, playing number three
singles for Michigan, ran through
Charles Frogner at 6-1, 6-2. Frog-
ner formerly played for Cooley High
in Detroit and had quite a reputa-
tion at the time. Yesterday Harry'
hit every ball on the rise and forced'
Frogner to hurry his shots to such
an extent that his tall Ypsi oppon-
ent lost control.
Brewer Wins Third Straight
Bob Brewer won his third consecu-
tive match since he entered the line-
up, taking Harold Schwartz, Nor-
mal's fourth man, 6-2, 6-1. Brewera
attacked with his looping forehand,
and the unorthodox sophomore port-
sider didn't let up for a second as
he volleyed consistent winners.
Bud Dober had a tough time win-
ning his match, going three sets be-
fore he turned back David Schwartz,
Ypsi's number five man, 6-8, 6-3,
6-1. Bill Sessions played a lot of
net in turning back Seymour Gor-
don, at number five, 6-3, 6-2.
Durst and Gamon, playing first
doubles together for the second time,
defeated Mastramarco and Bennetts,
6-2, 6-3. Kohl and Dober, Michigan's
second combination won easily, tak-
ing David and Harold Schwartz, 6-3,
6-3. Sessions and Cohen, playing
in the third doubles position, surprised
by taking a strong Normal team of
Frogner and Gordon, 8-10, 6-2, 6-4.
Team Leaves For Evanston
On the Normal team were two
twins, Harold and David Schwartz.
These two redheads are so identical
in looks and playing ability that it's
difficult to distinguish one from the
other. Their own coach maintained,
"I don't know one from the other,
and they've been on my squad for
two years.
The squad leaves this afternoon
for Evanston, Ill., where they engage
Northwestern and Ohio State in a
triangular meet, Thursday and Fri-
day. Saturday they meet Notre
Dame at South Bend, Ind., after
which they come home for a big week
against Western State, Michigan
State and Wayne.
Doherty May Be Back
Be! i-e Ohio State Meet
The Wolverine track team last
night welcomed the cheery news that
Coach Ken Doherty may be home
Friday in time to see the squad off
for the dual meet with Ohio State.
Saturday.
The genial mentor who was strick-
en with a stomach ailment at the
Drake Relays was reported well on
the road to recovery in a Des Moines,
Iowa, hospital and will be released
by the end of the week.
Doherty is scheduled to arrive
here before the Michigan squad
leaves for Columbus, but will be un-
able to accompany the team. Fresh-
man Coach Chester Stackhouse will
remain in charge of the Wolverines.

Dye Hogan, President
Success Finally Comes To Dye Hogan
After Three Years Of Patient Work
By HERM EPSTEIN
"They don't make them any better
than Dye Hogan!"
That is probably the most unan-
imous opinion one can find about
Michigan athletes this year. The
colorful Dye (pun inescapable) is
winding up his collegiate track ca-
reer in a blaze of glory, running bet-
ter than ever before in his life.
Hogan started his athletic career
in Hornell, N. Y., where he captained
his high school track team in his
senior year, won and set records in
the country and sectional half-mile
runs, and might have won the state
title, had a state championship been
held.
He displayed the beginnings of his
itch to keep busy by playing guard
on the basketball team, made all-
conference in his senior year, and
was elected president of his class.
With a background like that, Dye
came to Michigan in the fall of
1936.
He gave up basketball, but when
he started to concentrate on track,
he showed plenty. In his first year,
he pushed Tommy Jester to a new
frosh 880 record, breaking the old
mark, too. However, some time dur-
ing that year, he changed his style
of running, and that set him back
for a long while.
Hogan's forte is speed-and lots
of it. But, for some reason (he does-
n't know why himself) he started
to run in front, instead of staying
behind and capitalizing on that
speed to win for him in the closing
sprint. He did fairly well anyhow.

That first year he ran 1:54 for his
half-mile in the Conference Meet,
but failed to qualify as four men in
his trial heat ran better than he.
Undaunted, Dye came back to run
a strange event the following day-
the mile. His time was great-4:19.
For a sophomore it was terrific, but
those two days were nightmares to
Hogan. A young man named Charles
Fenske was running for Wisconsin,
and he pulled the time down so fast
DYE HOGAN
.. . fans' favorite
that Hogan's lot was seventh place.
Last year, Dye continued to look
great-in practice. When he got
into a meet, he went out in front
again, spent his energy setting the
pace, and drew numerous blanks as
far as winning races was concerned.
The promise of his freshman and
sophomore years was much in evi-
dence, but the results were only
fair--compared to what he could ac-
complish.
Then came this year, his last.

whether it was something else, Dye
Seabiscuit, Record
Winner, Retired By
Money,
Ownerl
LOS ANGELES, May 7.-(P)-Sea-
biscuit went home today. The seven-
year-old stake king was taken by van
to the Northern California ranch of
his owner, C. S. Howard, there to live
the life of ease as befits the all-time
high money winner of the American
'turf.
There was no fanfare. Jockey Red
Pollard, who rode the mighty Biscuit
to his greatest triumphs, received a
telegram from Howard at Louisville
and within an hour the commodious
horse-car was en route to Willits.
Already a sire, Seabiscuit will re-
sume the stud.

Clinches Election
GERMANTOWN, Md., May 7.-(IP)
--Walter Johnson, baseball's immor-
tal "Big Train," today received with
habitual coolness the news that he
apparently had clinched the Republi-
can nomination for Congress from
the sixth Maryland district.
"Gee, whiz," he said, "the folks
certainly have been nice about this
whole thing."
Almost complete returns gave
Johnson 7,419 votes to 6,173 for A.
Charles Stewart, Frostburg merchant.
The famous pitcher, who hurled
for the Washington Nationals for
21 years, lives here on a farm. His
campaign was a quiet one and his
speeches are simple.
"I just tell 'em," he said, "that I'll
try to do my best and hope they'll
believe me."
