WiDNES1§AY, MAY 8, 1946 THE MIC*LGAN DAILY Varsity Nine Loses, 4-2; etters hitewashMichigan Formal Eighth Inning Rally Defeats Michigan Nine Western State College Tags 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 . . .

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. 'M' CLUB There will be a meeting of all members of the "M" Club at 7:30 p.m. Wednesday in Room 319 of the Union, 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.

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 the new coach, or 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.

"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." COLLEGE BASEBALL Indiana 7, Notre Dame 4 'Western State Fresh. 9, Alma 2 Tough One To Lose West.
