The 1941 model of the University
of Michigan's football machine put
on a premature display of its ability
in an hour scrimmage session under
Coach Fritz Crisler's direction at
Ferry Field yesterday afternoon.
In spite of adverse football con-
ditions, namely the slippery mud, the
gridders gave a good account of them-
selves-considering that it was only
their second scrimmage of the current
spring training grind.
And the honors for the day were
he frequently broke away for long
runs. Ray Sowers and Bob.Morrison,
two sophomores who are out for their
first spring practice this year, were
the other two backs who showed
plenty of promise along the pigskin
lugging line..
But the veterans didn't take a back
seat by any means. Al Wistert, Bob
Ingalls, Bill Melzow and George Cei-
thaml clearly showed that they have
lost none of their bone jarring block-
ing ability as they sent many a de-
fenseman sprawling.

beaten and holder of third place in
the Conference 50 yard race and fifth
in the century. He recently whipped
Don Wenstrom, Iowa star, in a dual
meet.
Gray A Threat
These two, Powell and Fahrbach,
form the backbone of the Wildcats.
Doyle Gray, a surprise fourth place
winner in the Big Ten 50 yard dash
is another threat with Jerry Zehr,4
a backstroker and Johnny Walsh, a
distance man, listed as dangerous.
Outside of that Northwestern has
little to cope with the man-heavy
Wolverines. But both teams are at
their respective peaks physically and
mentally and that in- itself can cause
plenty of fireworks.
With one eye cocked on the Na-
tionals, Matt.Mann is previewing his
400 yard free style I relay quartet of
Jack Patten, Dobby Burton, Gus'
Sharemet and Charley Barker which
he is planning to shoot against Yale's
world record-holders.
Sharemet In 220
He' will also taken a gander at Gus
Shavemet in the 220-a surprise move
designied to bring the Maize and Blue
more points in the Collegiates. Tak-
ing the "Great Gusto's" place in the
100 for tonight will be Claire Morse
and Tommy Williams.
The rest of the Wolverine lineup
will remain just about the same as
has been swimming all year. Jim
Welsh and Blake Thaxter take over
the 440-Dick Reidl will be given the
backstroke event to himself with Ted
Horlenko a possible entry-and Bruce
Allen and Bob West will match
strokes with Fahrbach in the 50.
The return of John Sharemet to
action will provide Mann with his
strongest breaststroke corps with Jim
Skinner in top shape.

third sacker Bud Chamberlain are
off the active list for a few days

fined to the Health Service for rest
and ice-bag treatments, and an X-

morning. The X-rays might possibly
show a broken cheek bone, but noth-

Strong Appointed Coach
- Dave Strong, former Michigan
halfback, was singed as head coach at
the South Dakota State School of
Mines, it was learned here today.
The 24-year-old ex-Wolverine grid-

He starred at Helena, Mont., high
school, lettered one year at the Uni-
versity of Illinois and two years at

corner of the cases, partially hidden
from view by the shadows, is a tall
and impressive looking trophy with
the image of a golfer, driver poised in
the air, standing on its top.
This trophy is the result of an un-
told story of three Wolverine ath-
letes who went out as dark horses on
the field of battle and came back
with one of the most coveted honors
in the Western Golf Association.
The story started last year around
June at the start of the summer
vacation when Coach Ray Courtright
entered Dave Osler, then a sopho-
more, and Bob Fife and Ben Smith,
who were both freshmen, in the
Western Golf Association tournament.
Competing over a period of several
days at the Millroad Farms Country
Club in Chicago, Osler, Fife and
Smith, 'the terrible three,' overcame
all opposition, and ran off with hon-
ors of the tournament, winning for
Michigan its first Arthur Wood Mem-
orial trophy.t
The trophy itself is a beautiful

Orville Jorgens failed in his first
comeback attempt today, but the
Chicago White Sox went ahead to
defeat the Philadelphia Athletics,
9 to 6, in an exhibition game here.
Jorgens, who formerly pitched for
the Phillies, is being given a tryout
by the Sox after being out of action
with arm trouble. He pitched the first
three innings, yielding six hits and
six runs in the third and letting the
A's tie the score.
Moose Solters of the Sox hit a
home run.
