Dopesters Find Going Tough
In Figuring AAU Swim Meet
By WOODY BLOCK
The news-hounds were three-deep
around Matt Mann's crowded quart-
ers in the Sports Building pool yes-
terday.
It seems that a rumor has been
circulating about a certain swim-
ming club from Chicago dethron-
ing Mann's undefeated Wolverines
in the National AAU meet this week-
end and the scribes wanted to make
sure Matt had heard about it.
They were even asking him how
he had the meet doped out. Did he
think the 440 race with Tom Haynie
swimming against Jim Welsh would
decide the championship? That would
be a swell yarn-a former Michigan
star upsetting his alma mater by
sneaking off with those valuable first
place points.
Mann HesitatesI
"But you can't dope out a meet
like this from one event to the next,"
Matt protested. "Every one of these
races is going to count-and how.
Look at last week in the Collegiates.
The 1500-meter race was going to
decide the meet-until the 220 came
along."
"Well, we lost both of those so the
meet was hinging on the 440 then.
Jim Welsh came through in that
and we won the meet. Howatya
going to dope it out beforehand-I
ask you?"
They went away scratching their
heads-those scribes with "angles" on
their minds. To complicate the whole
thing, the entries of Howie Johnson
and Rene Chouteau, Yale's two na-
tional champions, were withdrawn

yesterday reducing by two the number

It was certain, at any rate, that
to retain their second consecutive
AAU crown, the Wolverines would
have to fight every inch of the way

a plunge from the pinnacle of the
AAU swimming world.
Towers Rate Edge
Pre-doping this meet tells you one
thing. The Towers Club holds an
edge over Michigan-but with any
amount of Irishman's luck-or a hot
streak by one of Matt's boys-and
Coach Stan Brauninger's Windy City
gang will find themselves on the
short end of a long deal.

A FORMER flute player in the Miami (Florida) symphony orchestra and
his little talkative pal with the Mickey Rooney features parked them-
selves on one of the I-M pool benches for a brief rest.
The Double was particularly interested in those two guys yesterday for'

swim against Michigan's powerful outfit. The former flute player was Big
Ten and National Collegiate high and low board champion, Earl Clark, and
his peanut pal was Frank Dempsey, sparky junior member of Ohio's famed
diving duo.
"To tell you the truth," Clark explained, "we don't know exactly why
Ohio didn't meet Michigan this year."
"Aw, give him the straight stuff," the clever-tongued Dempsey inter-
rupted. "Anybody knows that we didn't swim each other because Michigan
was afraid to take a beating."
"Don't take the little monkey seriously," the crew-cutted champion was
quick to reply, "As far as we know, there's some misunderstanding between
the coaches and until that is settled, I doubt whether we'll ever meet."
The two divers admitted that they didn't know exactly what the mis-
understanding was, but both agreed that the Double has been all wet .on

celled any plans for team play which
Coach Ray Fisher may have had,
but if the skies remain clear he in-
tends to send his men into their
first intrasquad game this afternoon.
Lose No Time
Fisher wasted no time in getting
his squad into action. The Wolverinej
boss is hoping for a much better)
break than he had last spring, when
the team started South with only
two outdoor practices 'under its belt.
He had his outfield candidates shag-
ging fly balls for long sessions, and
the infielders continued loosening up
their arms for the squad battles to
come. It was the first work outside
the Field House for everyone ex-
cept the gardeners, who have been
going outside for the last few days.
Two right handers and two south-'
paws carried the mound burden as
the hitters got their first look at the
ball in the sunlight. Sophomores Cliff
Wise and Ernie Schultz, and senior
Mase Gould, the latter two portsiders,
got the early assignments, and vet-
eran Les Veigel finished up the hurl-
ing chores.
Sore Arm Plague
Fisher was satisfied with the work-
out, -but revealed an epidemic of min-
or ailments on the squad. George
Ruehle, veteran first sacker, has been
wearing a sponge on his left hand
since last week to prevent irritation
of an injury, and sophomore catcher,
and outfielder Dick Wakefield also
suffered a hand injury in Tuesday's
drill. Two pitchers, Wise and Paul
Goldsmith, are nursing sore arms,
and Fisher has had Mike Sofiak,
senior shortstop, practicing long
throws to get his bothersome right
wing into shape.

Milo Sukup, former varsity guard
for three seasons, takes over his new

"This is going to he quite a meet this weekend," Clark butted in to
change the subject. "It looks like the Chicago Towers Club to me. Oh, well,

times a day."

WAKE UP-
STOP COUNTING SHEEP
DON'T LET THE DEADLINE
By ART HILL
Most of those people who are wont
to fool around a tennis court are
satisfied to confine their racket-
wielding to one hand, that is to say.
they flourish the racket with the
starboard wing if they are of the
orthodox school and they swing the
bat with the left hand if they are
southpaws.
This is the accepted thing. It's good
enough for Budge. Vines, Perry and
McNeil get by with it. But not Jim
Porter, number-three man on the
Michigan Varsity tennis team. He has
something new and, what's more,
he's getting away with it.
Porter is a rebel. He serves with his
left hand, then shifts the racket and
plays out the point with his right
hand. If this sounds easy, try it some
time.
It's new to me," Coach Leroy Weir
confesses. "I've seen players who were
able to shift the racket according to
the shot, thus eliminating the back-
hand, but Porter's trick is, as far as
I know, unique."

Jim didn't start out to be a non-
conformist. It was forced on him as !
the result of a wrenched shoulder
which he suffered in a basketball ,
'game a few years ago. After the in-
jury, he found that he couldn't lift
his right arm above the level of
his shoulder.
But Jim wanted to play tennis. So
he took to the left-handed service
and found out that, since it enabled
him to serve more easily to his op-
ponent's backhand, it was more ef-
fective than his former style. Al-
though he eventually regained the
full use of his right arm, he never
went back to the orthodox method of
putting the ball in play.
"Tennis was never anything more
than a form of recreation for me
until I came to Michigan," the left-
right handed netter points out.
"When I got here, Coach Weir took
an interest in me and I think I can
safely say that I owe just about all
I know about the gamt to him. He's
a great coach."
