Like most Daily men, we can
truthfully state that working up
here has been our true education.
Classroom instruction and textbook
education have always occupied a
secondary role in our scheme of
values. We are advancing no claim
that this is the proper perspective
to take. Quite possibly it is one-
sided and out of balance. But not
once have we ever regretted the
decision to follow such a course of
action in our University career.
FIRST COLUMNS are almost al-
ways a complex jumble of emo-
tions. A flood of memories of past
failures and successes, of temporary
set-backs and minor discouragements
and encouragements serve to temper
the present glow of happiness and
sense of jubilation afforded by the
realization of two and a half years
of effort and strain. And mixed in,
too, is the vital question of future
policy.
That first meeting of sports try-
outs almost three years ago still
stands brightly in our memory. There
were a host of strange faces, faces
which later carie to be associated
with names such as Gene Gribbroek,
Woody Block, Art Hill. And there was
Norm Miller, also, about to begin his
test period of night editing as a soph-
omore. All have contributed heavily
and well to The Daily.
Gene will graduate in another
month and has been offered two
positions, one on a Rochester news-
paper, the other in Uncle Sam's
Army. Every one of the other three
was just as well qualified and could
have done just as good, if not bet-9
ter job; than we will. They just
didn't get the break.
As assistant sports editor, however,
Hill will continue to add his vast
sports knowledge to The Daily, while
Hoe Seltzer, who held a night editor-
ship during a large part of the past
year, will also contribute. his keen
sense of humor and sparkling copy
for another year.

tossed a wild throw over Ruehle's
head.
Lady Luck continued to look the
other way as far as Michigan was
concerned, as Joe Borovich, Hurons'
left fielder, hit a Texas leaguer to
center field on which Drusbacky
crossed home plate for Normal's first
run. Oxley reached first base and
Borovich second when he scratched
a hit off Muir's glove. Pat Heffnernan
got the first clean hit of the inning
when he socked a single over second
on which Borovich scored and Oxley
reached third base. Oxley came home'
for Normal's third and final run of
the game when John Shada forced
Heffernan at second, making it two
away. Joe Grady ended the inning by
grounding out.
Neil Muir continued to make him-
self a hitting pitcher by collecting
a triple, single and walk in three
trips to the plate. In the eighth inn-
ing his extra base knock sent Hol-
man home, The Wolverines chipped
off a run in the sixth inning on
Christenson's triple and an infield out
by Nelson.
The varsity got their only other
run of the game in the seventh with-
out the aid of a hit. Mike Sofiak
walked, took second when Wakefield
grounded out, went to third on a
passed ball and scored when Cham-
berlain flied deep to center field.
This is the first game since the
season's opener that Michigan's slug-
ging catcher, George Harms, hasn't
connected for a safe hit. The little
back stopper is the leading hitter of
the Big Ten with an astounding bat-
ting average of .611.
The Jinx Stopped

George Ruehle is considered one
of the best fielding first sackers in
the Conference. The lanky first
baseman helped himself to a single
and triple in yesterday's game.

Trackmen To Face Buckeyes
In Season's Outstanding Meet

By BOB STAHL
Michigan track fans will be treated
to one of the best dual meets in the
nation Saturday, when the Wolverine
thinclad aggregation plays host to the
powerful cinder squad from Ohio
State.
The Michigan crew trounced the
strongest track team that Notre Dame
has ever been able to put together
last Saturday, while the Buckeyes
were defeating Indiana, Conference
indoor champion, and Purdue in a
triangular meet.
Saturday's dual meet with Ohio
St'ate promises to be a series of in-
dividual tests. Michigan's star half-
miler, Warren Breidenbach, will be
pitted against the Buckeye's ace, Les
Eisenhart, in the 880 and will have his
hands full in order to win. Wolverine
Coach Ken Doherty did not use
Breidenbach in the half-mile race
against the Irish last Saturday, pre-
ferring to have him run in the, 440
and the mile relay, but has indicated
that he will place Breidenbach in his
favorite distance against Eisenhart.
From all indications, the sprints
also should see very close finishes.
Al Piel and Al Thomas of Michigan,
and Ralph Hammond and Bob Wright
of Ohio State, have run the 100 yard

Crisler Selects Two Teams,
'Blues' And 'Whites'
For Stadium Tilt
By BUD HENDEL
Michigan football fans will receive
their first chance to see head coach
Fritz Crisler's 1941 edtition of the
Wclzerine grid juggernaut Saturday
at 2:30 p.m., when Crisler will unveil
his team on the green Stadium turf
t the annual srping intrasquad
game. Admission will be free.
Award To Be Made
Saturday will also mark the an-
nouncement of the winner of the
annual University of Michigan Club
Chicago Award. The recipient of
this award is chosen by the coaching
staff on the basis of a number of
considerations, with improvement
during spring training being the pri-
mary factor. Also entering into the
selection are attendance, attitude, and
potential varsity ability. Last year
the trophy was awarded to quarter-
back George Ceithaml.
Further festivities of the football
nature will take place Saturday when
the annual High School Coaches'
Clinic, conducted by the Michigan
Athletic Department, convenes. At-
tepdance is expected to pass the 2,500
mark, with about 150 mentors and
their grid pupils being counted upon
to put in an appearance.
Harmon In Exhibition
In a special exhibition, Tom Har-
mon, famous Wolverine All-American
halfback for the past three years,
will demonstrate passing and kicking
for the benefit of the high school
tutors in Yost Field House. ,
When the whistle blows at the end
of Saturday's intrasquad tilt, the
current spring training session will
have drawn to a close. The team has,
been practicing for six weeks now,
and has shown much progress-al-
though the end, halfback, and re-
[ serve situations are still critical.
Crisler has divided the squad in-
to two evenly matched teams for
the battle, the Blues and the Whites.
For the rest of this week the two
clubs will work on perfecting plays:
in preparation for the approaching
tilt. The game promises to be a de-
ceptive, high-scoring contest.
Yesterday Crisler drove his charges
through a lively scrimmage, using
both the passing and running at-
tacks. Halfbacks Don Robinson,
Johnny Allerdice and Bob Morrison:
all showed plenty of pigskin-flipping
ability, while ends Joe Rogers, Don
Long and Walt Freihofer flashed'
lots of pass-snagging skill.
White Features Drill
The feature of the day was pro-
vided by Paul White, big freshman
halfback, when he galloped 70 yards
around left end for a touchdown.
Don Boor, yearling fullback, also
ribped off several long runs.
Injuries are plentiful in the Wol-
verine camp. Center Ted kennedy,
guards Harry Anderson and Hoe
Seltzer, halfback Ray Sowers, quar-
terback Joe Josephs, and ends Otto
Chady and Riudy Smeja are all in-
capacitated.
