Al articles, the editorials vad the want- ads . And after all the trouble, the Double didn't find what it was look- ing for. It seems that we were eager to kiiow how the other nine schools felt about the swimming sched- ule difficulties which cracked Mich- igan across the jaw last weekend. To us it was a serious problem. ButI to them, evidently the matter has little significance. Only one paper, the DAILY ILLINI, tarriedl any story of the Wolverine snubbing. It was a two inch article written by the Associated Press which told of Matt's comparing his boys to Chicago's gridiron squad. The MINNESOTA DAILY told of the Gophers' "swell schedule." They have six Conference meets and three good trips. The DAILY NORTH- WESTERN makes -only a brief men- tion of the natatorial situation. As far as the OHIO STATE LANTERN is concerned, you would have never known that the Buckeyes have a swimming team anymore by read- ing the last three editions. The point is that aside from the flimsy two-inch story in the Illi- nois paper, none of the other schools thought the matter import- ant enough to mention. O THE DOUBLE, the whole situa- tion seems tremendously vital to the Conference. Are we to allow this sort of thing to continue in the fu- ture? It's a big problem that de- serves some attention. Right now the coaches of the minor Conference sports can evade or avoid their powerful Big Ten rivals at their own will. The schedule meetings Cleveland Gets Gerald Walker In Triple Deal CLEVELAND, Dec. 12-(P)-The Cleveland Indians tonight announced a three-cornered deal intended to bolster their outfield and pitching staff. The tribe obtained outfielder Ger- ald Walker, pitcher Jim Bagby, Jr., and catcher Gene Desautels from the Boston Red Sox in exchange for catcher Frankie Pytlak, infielder Odell Hale and pitcher Joe Dobson. The Red Sox traded outfielder Roger Cramer to the Washington Senators for Walker before the deal could be completed, the Indians of- ficials said. With the acquisition of Walker, the Indians hope to give the outfield the batting punch it lacked in Cleve- land's World Series pennant drive last season. "I'm delighted with the deal," said Roger Peckinpaugh, recently ap- pointed manager of the Tribe. "As I see it, we got exactly what we went after without giving up anything but Dobson's prospects. And don't forget that Bagby has some prospects, too." The 31-year-old Walker, a native of Gulfport, Miss., averaged 100 runs batted in per season for the past five years, accounting for 96 with the Senators last summer. He pre- viously played with Detroit's Tigers and the Chicago White Sox. This isn't the first time that this sort of snubbing has taken place. Three years ago when Ohio State was riding high on the water ways, most of the other Conference schools found their schedules all filled up when the Buckeyes came around. Michigan met the Peppe charges twice that year, and was dumped on both occasions. It doesn't occur only in swimming. Wrestling and track teams through- out the Conference have felt the same tendencies when they grew too big. As far as we're concerned, Michi- gan can do without the Conference in swimming this year. It makes little difference to the Double that our Wolverines will be deprived of a Quaker Swimmers Face Defeat At Hands Of Mighty Wolverines Always A Fine Christmas Gift Big Ten dual meet title which they clearly deserve. They will easily carry off top honors in the annual Confer- ence meet at the end of the season. That's the one that counts. WE ARE LOOKING farther into the future. This occi,,riee is apt to have its results. A ea precedent has been set. The only reason that Michigan did get its two meets is an old contract and the fact that a for- mer Wolverine swimmer now coaches one of the schools. Otherwise we would have been left completely out in the cold. From now on anything can hap-I pen. There will be no scruples in any of these schedule meetings. The better teams will always have the schedule troubles to fear. There will be a definite discouragement to efficiency, until Major Grif- fith's office takes over the arrang- ing of meets.. It seems funny that the other nine1 schools can't see this. Coach Bill Merriam and his Penn- sylvania swimming team are in for7 a real old-fashioned scalping when the Wolverines of Michigan meet# the Quakers of Penn at the Buffa- lo A. C. tomorrow night. Not since the Redskins rode ram- pant over the Pilgrims. back in the good old days has such a powerful foe met the peace-loving Quakers in mortal combat. But there'll be no peace for the Men of Penn when Matt Mann re- leases his powerful tank squad be- fore a neutral Buffalo audience. There's dynamite in every one of the ten Wolverines that will leave Ann Arbor this afternoon for the firstj meet of the year. Here's what Merriam's brave crew1 will be face to face with when the starting gun sends both teams in-7 to action: 1. In the breast stroke event, Jim Skinner, Mann's sensational sopho- more, National outdoor AAU champ, probably the top man in the na- tion at the 200 yard distance. 2.

Pittsburgh and Columbia replace California and Harvard next season on the Wolverine card and these two Eastern aggregations should provide plenty of color. Fritz Crisler opens with Michigan State, followed by Iowa and Pitt here, Northwestern away, Minnesota here, Illinois and Columbia away and Ohio State here to end the season. Be A Goodfellow Overlin To Risk Crown Against Belloise Tonight NEW YORK, Dec. 12--WP)-Ken Overlin and Steve Belloise are going to put on a re-take of the year's hottest punch party in Madison Square Garden tomorrow night, with Ken's middleweight championship on the block. In their previous get-together, Ov- erlin came off the floor to win. Bel- loise, however, slowed Overlin down considerably in the late going with a body attack. al Collegiate 50 yard free style title- holder, present Big Ten champ at that distance and third in the Na- tional Collegiates last year. He pos- sesses one of the greatest 'kicks' in swimming. 3. John Sharemet, number two man in the Big Ten in his favorite race, the 200 yard breast stroke, fifth in the National Collegiates in the same event. 4. Francis Heydt, Conference champ in the 150 yard back stroke and second in the National Col- legiates. That doesn't complete the list by any means. Matt is also taking the fastest gang of sophomores Penn will ever see. There's Ted Horlenko, a blond, speedy backstroker, Bruce Al- len and Jack Patten, both distance men. Will Garvey and Bob West will both see action with the relay teams and Strother T-Bone Martin, num- ber three man in the nation on the three-meter board, will handle the diving chores. Mann has been asked to put on a Swimming Clinic Saturday morn- ing before the combined audience of Buffalo high schools with his na- tional champions. It is the first time any such program has ever been put on for the Great Lakes city. 111 4,,.L" ;..'hy" 44 p OwenCops Volleyball Crown Robert Owen stepped into the fav- runners-up, took the second place orite's spot to take its second consecu- championship over Hillel, 2-1.
