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.

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 for a falter at any one stage means 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.

The Double was particularly interested in those two guys yesterday for' they cane here from Ohio State. the Columbus institution that-refuses to 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 Weather Gives In: Fisher Takes Baseball Squad Outside For Practice Session Program " " Order and program of events for the National AAU swimming meet to4 be held here this Friday and Satur- the personality and ability of one Michael Peppe.

I reason why so many Ohio swimmers "WHAT can you do with school officials like we have," spoke wee Franky. "Take the case of Curly Stanhope, for example. He gets into some trouble over grades and tells the dean to go to . A few days later, Curly decides that maybe he was wrong, so he calls on the dean to make amends." "And what do you think the dean says . . . I'm sorry Mr. Stan- hope, but as you requested, I have gone to Hell and will not be ablej to speak to you ... So Curly flunked out. What can you do with offi- cials like that?" Fraternity brothers, pals and roommates on all the swimming trips, the two divers started talk- ing about each other. "Say something about Frank," requested Clark. "You know be'sc were ineligible. junior cheer leader during the football season." "Don't bother your readers about me," came the reply. "Why you could fill a book about Earl." And before Dempsey was throug we found out the follow- ing things: When Clark was 11, he began a music career and took tp the flute "because it was the lightest instru- ment to carry around." For two straight years, he finished second in the Florida flute playing cham- pionsJhips. Eight years ago, the diving wizard became the youngest member of the Miami symphony orchestra. But that is only part of the story of his amazing versatil- ity. At Ohio, he played on the freshman tennis team and held the new Buckeye golf. course rec- ord for two weeks with a 71. By GENE GRIBBROEK Michigan's Varsity baseball squad, with their opener against the Uni- versity of Maryland only eight days away, finally got a break in the weather yesterday and staged their first practice session out of doors this season. A bright sun and little breeze throughout most of the afternoon en- abled the players to get in a long All-Star Cage Teams Chosen ByI-M Staff John Cory of the champion Sigma Chi house, and Les Veigel of sec- ond place Theta Xi, were named for the third time yesterday to the fra- ternity all-star basketball team.

A soggy infield can- 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.

"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, back to work we go. We get up at eight every morning here, and dive four times a day." "Yeh, we gotta get up at eight," Dempsey concluded. "They quit serv- ing breakfast at the Sigma Chi house after eight thirty."

Given FREE Saturday at the Union's in 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." II .JLJL Fn JL NY Iax Ir Ir TLFjLjL%-JJLJL qp o 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." r ::;:; :aF .p..:p:,.:.: r; ': + " .. k fry ,, . ;" Sy, .4: v , ;s ., , rs- , ., o- f. {' .; ' V" 42 !'' 5:... : T . } } "::': :i f, ' £:' ..,F:. ':: .. ..
