He was bothered with a bad leg and his old-time western roll was not functioning smoothly. Perfects New Style This year he perfected his newv straddle style of leaping, and the results are inscribed in the record books. He smashed the Yost Field House indoor mark, then bettered it less than a week later with a. jump of 6 feet 6% inches. He added the Illinois Indoor Relay Carnival rec- ord to his collection, leaping 6 feet 6% inches. He copped the Drake Relays outdoor crown, tied for the Big Ten indoor title, won the Butler Relays championship, always addingj valuable first place points to the Wolverine cause.

Held to a 9-9 tie in their last match of the season, the Michigan links- men finished one of their most suc- cessful seasons last week as they missed the Big Ten championship for the second year in a row, this time to Illinois. Capt. Bob Palmer, leader of the squad for the past two seasons, went undefeated through the 12 match schedule and was runner-up to both the Southern Intercollegiate and Conference individual titles to end his collegiate career as one of Mich- igan's great golfers. He won his third letter. Jack Emery, Bill Black, Tom Tuss- ing and Lynn Riess, all graduating seniors who will not play next year, also were awarded their third let- ters. Fred Dannenfelser and Fred Lamb, reserves last year, won letters for the first time in addition to soph- omores Goodwin Clark and Dave Os- ler. The captain for next year will be selected by the team today when the squad picture will be taken. Reserve and freshmen numeral winners will be announced later in the week. (Special To The Daily) NOTRE DAME, Ind., May 27.-A heavy downpour at the end of the fourth inning washed out the Notre Dame-Michigan baseball game here this afternoon. The Irish were lead- ing, 1-0, at the time. Lyle Bond, Wolverine hurler, had given up two hits, while his oppo- nent, Rex Ellis, had allowed singles to Charlie Pink, Bill Steppon and Bud Chamberlain. Breaks Placed Netters Fourth In Conference Luck. Played Large Part In Wolverine Losses; Letter Winners Named The "ifs" that had to materialize if the Varsity tennis squad was to finish high in the Conference race just didn't fall "Ann Arbor way," and as a result, the netters finished fourth in the Big Ten tournament at Evanston last weekend. Sam Durst, who was expected to pick up at least one point, ran up against a very hot number one man from Minnesota, Ed Van Seim, and went down 6-3, 6-1. Jim Tobin's knee stood up very well, and only the narrowest of margins prevented him from going much farther in both singles and doubles.6Tobin de- feated Craine of Illinois 6-3, 6-4 in the first round, before losing to Gor- enstein, Wisconsin's number two man, 4-6, 6-0, 7-5. Gamon Scores Upset Tom Gamon was the only surprise winner for Michigan as he upset Jerry Rosenthal, Ohio State's num- ber three man, 2-6, 6-4, 6-4. Cal Sawyier took Gamon 6-1, 6-1, in the next round and went on to win the division title. Wayne Stille de- feated Bruce of Wisconsin 6-2, 3-6, 7-5 before losing to Lewis of Ohio State, 6-2, 6-2. It was in the draw for the number six tournament that the Weirmen re- ceived their biggest blow. Bob Jef- fers had beaten every player he had met in the Conference except Sha- piro of Northwestern. In the face of this, there was no excuse for the seeding ,committee to neglect him in the seeding. Not only that, but Jeffers drew Shapiro in the first round, losing 7-5, 6-3. Wolverines Lose Heartbreaker In the doubles, Durst and Gamon were promptly eliminated by Neilsen and Gorenstein, Wisconsin first com- bine, 6-2, 6-3. Tobin and Stille started out very impressivly taking Sandler and Wollenwerber of Iowa, 6-1, 6-1. Then Tobin and Stille lost a heart-breaker to O'Neill and Hall of Northwestern, who later took the title, 9-7, 11-9. Bob Jeffers and Harry Kohl de- feated Bruce and Eck of Wisconsin, 6-4, 6-3 in the first round, and Sha- piro and Richards of Northwestern, 6-4, 6-2 in the second round. The next day Jeffers and Kohl lost to Lieberman and Wilcox, Iowa's third team, 9-7, 6-3. Awards Announced Coach Weir announced yesterday eight Varsity, three Reserve, and ten Freshmai award winners. The following men received Varsity awards: Captain Sam Durst, New York; James Tobin, Highland Park, Mich.; Tom Gamon, Red Bank, New Jersey; Wayne Stille, Chicago; Bob Brewer, Owosso, Mich.; Bob Jeffers, Grosse Pointe; Bernard Dober, Bridgeport, Conn.; and Harry Kohl, Dayton, Ohio.

Peltier, Mt Clemens; Leo Schamadan, Cleve- land, 0.; George Madiel, Detroit; Emory Freeman, Grand Rapids; Robert Bellairs, Flint, and Fred Sleators, Ann Arbor. P, It's A Natural .. . Back in 1935, the Michigan Daily campaigned for a truce between the Irish of Notre Dame and the Wol- verines of the University of Mich- igan. Whenever these two schools had met on the gridiron before that, the battle was always a 'natural'. South Bend's proxim- ity to Ann Arbor clearly made it that way. It was a Michigan squad that traveled to the baili- wick of the Irish lads one sunny Friday afternoon in 1887 to give the fellows there a lesson in the new game played with the feet and an inflated oval pigskin. They gave them the lesson, those Wolverines did, and a mighty good one it was at that. For on the following day, Michigan had the time of its life whipping its pupils 9-0. The two schools met on the grid- iron exactly seven times after that. Six times the powerful Wolverines marched off triumphantly, and just once, in 1909, did the Irish hand their educators a beating. That par- ticular year found a typical Notre Dame-Michigan clash. They were the two dreadnaught squads of the nation. The Western Conference ti- tle was destined to fall into one of their palms. Fielding Yost coached Michigan and a member of his famed point-a-minute squads, Shor- ty Longman, handled the Irish stra- tegy and legerdemain. It was a 'na- tural' if there ever was one, and Notre Dame broke the Wolverine jinx by smashing the Yost attack and capturing the Conference crown, 11-3. And the following year gave promise of another match of the Gargantuas. The nation looked forward to the clash which was scheduled to take place at the Ferry Field Stadium, Nov. 5, 1910. But on the Thursday before that fateful Saturday, members of Mich- igan's Board in Control of Athletics gathered in their meeting room for a momentous discussion. The cam- pus looked on with anxiety. Some- thing was wrong in the state of Indiana. Why else were the ticket sales held up, the students asked? All day Friday they met again and on Saturday morning came an im- portant story in the Daily. "Mich- igan Breaks With Notre Dame," streamed out the bold headlines. "Cancellation of Today's Game Prob- ably Ends Relations With Catholics," it went on to say. "Varsity Will Meet Reserves' was the concluding line. The Board blamed the move on the Irish laxity of enforcing Conference eligibility regula- tions. They protested against Longman's use of two particular players, Dimick and Philbrook. NATIONAL LEAGUE Boston 7, New York 1 Brooklyn 6, Philadelphia 0 Cincinnati 2-7, Pittsburgh 1-3 Chicago 7, St. Louis 1 The report showed that these two men had begun their col- legiate careers in 190-3, seven years before the date of the scheduled meeting. They played together at that time with Pa- cific University, stayed there for two years. After that, they start- ed as freshmen again at Whit- man College at Walla Walla, Washington, where they remain- ed until 1908, reporting to Notre Dame at that time, freshmen once again. .Dimick and Phil- brook were track sensations too, having scored half of the points the Irish rolled up in taking the Conference crown the year be- fore. The following day, of course, brought counter-attacks from the South Bend area. The Irish charged that Michigan was likewise using ineligible men. "Cole and Clark," they yelled, "are just as bad as our boys." One thing started another, and before long, the official an- nouncement came forth that both schools were through forever. The break brought on by an inconsequential difference lasted for almost 30 years. In 1924, the two teams engaged in a baseball series, but no one ever dreamt of Irish-Michigan gridiron spec- tacles. Then in 1935 came the Daily campaign. The paper rightly thought that a truce was the sensible solution. There was no reason why the strong Wol- verine teams of that era should not meet theirrnatural rivals, the Irish of Notre Dame. In 1937, the first signs of a patch- ing came forth. Michigan and Notre Dame signed to play in baseball, bas- ketball, track and golf. Football, it was believed, was only a matter of time. As soon as the schedules could be arranged, they said, the two schools would be back at it again. Last Saturday morning, Elmer Layden and Fielding Yost shook hands. They met along with Fritz Crisler in a room at the North Shore Hotel in Evanston. When the meet- ing was over, Michigan and Notre Dame had signed the last clause in the everlasting peace pact. Gridiron 'naturals' in 1942 and 1943. Since the Irish will be staging theircentennial celebration in 1942, the first game will be held in South Bend. Just as the Daily was in favor of the match in 1935, so we today celebrate this peace pact. Lay- den and Yost have always been great friends. Michigan and the Irish should have followed suit long ago. We are looking forward to that day in 1942 when the gridiron 'nat- ural' will be resumed. ~ ...!

Of the 19 men who quali- fied in Friday's preliminary round, 15 came through to win points in the finals. Team balance alone did not tell the whole story. It was the spirit of all the boys that helped keep up the team morale. The infield seemed to be alive with blue jerseyed Michigan men, each shouting to a mate in an effort to instill confidence. Smith Wins Sprints Alan Smith showed what the con- fidence of his teammates could do for him by running two thrilling sprints. In the century Smith was nosed out by Myron Piker of North- western in a fast 9.7 race. Later, the two met again in the 220, with Smith winning the event by a close decision in 21 seconds. This was Smith's first Big Ten championship, and, incident- ally, it was the first time Piker had been beaten in dual or Big Ten cham- pionship competition. Dye Hogan, another senior mak- ing his final stand in Big Ten compe- tion, ran the best race of his career, finishing third in the 880 in 1:53.2. Little Dave Cushing, who two weeks ago cut his hand on the handle of a shower, came back to vault 12 ft. 10 in. which was good enough to gain him a tie for third. Although still doubtful about the strength of his leg, Phil Balyeat made three appearances in the meet, two of them on the same day. Phil gar- nered a fifth place in the 440 and then came back to run his best race as lead off man on the relay team, covering his leg of the race in :48.9. The seniors were not the only ones to be affected by the spirit that per- vaded the squad. Jack Leutritz ran one of the best races of his college career in the 440, losing to his team- mate, Warren Breidenbach, in a pho- to-finish. Bob Hook likewise produced when he was most needed. With a heave of 47 ft. 91/2 in., Bob surpassed his own record for the year and took fourth place honors in the shot put. Schwarzkopf On Field Not to be forgotten are Bill Acker- man, who gave the winners a hard fight in the two mile run; Tommy Jester, who gave up the 880 in order to help fill the gap left by the ill- ness of Capt. Ralph Schwarzkopf in the two mile, Jeff Hall, who took third in the low hurdles; and Johnny Kautz, the boy that was amazed to find himself leading the pack early in the 880, but wound up in fifth 4place. Although not an active participant in the meet, Capt. Ralph Schwarz- . kopf did his part to spur the team on. Dressed in a warm-up suit, Ralph spent the entire afternoon walking up and down the field patting the athletes on the back, showing what a team athlete :he really is:. end, Charles Novak put together rounds of 74 and 76 to take the all- campus golf title. He defeated How- ard Weber, 5 and 4, in the semi-finals on Saturday, and holed a birdie four on the 18th hole to take the finals, one-up, over Stan Moore Sunday. Beta Theta Pi won the fraternity second-place softball ,finals yester- day, in a well-played contest, beat- ing Theta Chi; 4-3. Ford Whipple the winning hurler, gave up six well scattered hits, while Ruben Frost, who worked for Theta Chi, limited his opponents to four. Jim Mead caught for the winners, while Charles Dillman was the Theta Chi receiver. * * * Carefully placing their strokes the Adams House tennis team white- washed Lloyd House, All-Spor champions of the Residence Hall league, to win the loop net crown 3-0. r, . l t S 'M' CLUB BANQUET The annual "M" Club Banquet will be held at 6:30 tonight in the Union ballroom.
