The week. ' Capt. Ace Risk Powell, Fahrbaclh, Wildcat Natators, Unbeaten Records By BUD HENDEL 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.

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. CAPT. TOM POWELL evenly divided among the backfield men and the linemen.

Back in the northwest 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 two-and-a-half-foot loving cup with1 the aforementioned figure of a golf- 6r on its top. The trophy has one stipulation-that age limit for com- petition be 20 years old. It was do-1 nated in 1938 by one Arthur Wood,1 an official of the Western Golf Asso- ciation.

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.
