THE MICHIGAN DAILY Will Be Held In Sports Building Pool Tonight Matt Mann Has All-Star Cast To Perform For Swim Fans (Continued from Page 1) I GHF AN INSIDE nable combination of steam balance and individual brilliance, are primed to go all out in an effort to crack some existing pool records and send the customers home happy. Many Relay Events Besides staging their regular races, the tankers will churn through the water in a series of relays and special handicap events, as well as putting on a burlesque of swimming. Capt. Dobby Burton, breaststroke star Jim Skinner, ace distance man Jack Pat- ten, backstroker Dick Reidl, and top freestyler Gus Sharemet, along with the rest of the Maize and Blue ag- gregation, guarantee a display of water power seldom seen in the Swim Gala. Also on the p'rogram are Varsity divers Strother (T-Bone) Martin, Lou Haughey and Al Canja, who will par- ticipate in exhibition matches from both the high and low boards. And if past performances mean anything, these boys will have the fans on the edges of their seats as they flip through the air in sparkling fashion. No show would be complete without a comedy angle, and Matt Mann is well aware of it. Accordingly he has three of the funniest water jesters in the nation on deck to perform tonight. Regular rib-ticklers, these clowns will strut their stuff from the beginning of the Gala until its end. Aqua. Ballet On Program Imported for the occasion from- Chicago, Helen Curtis and her aqua ballet troupe will be on hand to share honors with the Michigan mermen. Considered one of the finest groups of this type in the land, the troupe will give a display of floating patterns and water dancing. Besides Miss Cur- i MATT MANN tis 20 mermaids are included among the aquatic performers. But that isn't all the spectators will feast their eyes upon tonight. In a special event, 36 Michigan coeds, rep- resenting the sororities on campus, will don sarongs and take to the water in the big sorority relay race. The girls are seeking to raise enough money for a pool of their own, and part of tonight's proceeds will go to the WAA for this purpose. And in order to equalize the battle of the sexes Mann has included an- other special campus event in the pro- gram. But this time it will be the dormitory men, in trunks not sarongs, paddling through the water in a series of relay matches. Tonight's the night for Michigan's Swim Gala, bigger and better than ever. Redbirds Trade Mize To New York Giants CHICAGO, Dec. 11-(P)-The St. Louis Cards tonight traded first base- man Johnny Mize to the New York' Giants for catcher Ken O'Dea, pit- cher Bill Lohrmann and an undis- closed sum of cash. Announcement of the Cards-Giant dealing cane after the winter Major League baseball meeting had broken up in midafternoon with only a scat- tering of player swaps revealed in four days of conferences. Mize, a 6 foot 2 inch slugger, had been with the Cardinals since 1936, when he came to the rhajors from the St. Louis club's Rochester farm ill the International League. He has hit better than .300 in every season with the Cardinals. * 0 * For . your true love the finest gift is 0 Fraternity Jewelry * Burg Patterson F&yAuld g "1209 South ?niversity e * 0 " Fruternityjewekrs Ruth Ann Oakes, Mgr.. $$ gA By ART HILL IMMY DYKES, the little round manager of the Chicago White Sox, is at it again. Trading, you know. The Windy City pilot and erstwhile third-baseman ,has always had a reputation for being one of the shrewdest business men in the base- ball dodge. If reports of what he has on the fire are true, it is now definitely proven. For the lads on the inside have it that the man with the cigar is about to palm off on the Detroit Tigers a couple of lads named Billy Knicker- bocker and Lee (Buck) Ross for a brace of Bengals who answer to the tags, of Bruce Campbell and Paul (Dizzy) Trout. Del Baker, managerof these same Tigers, isn't so much of a fool that he will agree to such ne- farious doings . . . we don't think. Del says that if Dykes will substi- tute Edgar Smith for the inept Ross (who won 3 and lost 9 last season with a third place club), he will go along. Dykes says he will be glad to if the Detroits will throw in some more valuable piece of baseball baggage like, say, Barney McClosky. Well, we don't know? NWe can't believe that Baker will gb for any such trade. If he does, we will admit that Dykes is the master trader everyone claims him to be. For Trout is head and torso over Ross as a chucker and Knickerbocker, no mat- ter how badly Detroit needs infield- ers, is no prize in any sense of the word. PROPERLY SPEAKING, this story has nothing to do with sports but we're going to stick it in here because we consider it the best spon- taneous remark since the inception of the current unpleasantness. To Gene Gribbroek, well-known bon vivant, wit and former Daily sports writer, goes the credit and it all happened like this. We walked into The Daily office late Monday night and the following conversa- tion took place between Mr. Grib- broek and myself. "Hey, the Japs just flew over San Francisco!" "No kidding. Did they attack?" "No. Just flew over and went away.. "Why didn't they drop any bombs?" "They forgot to bring 'em." THE St. Louih Cardinals last night traded Johnny Mize to the Giants for Ken O'Dea, Bill Lohrmann and an "unannounced sum of cash." This latter item, we imagine, must have been what turned the trick for, although a sum of cash (announced or unannounced) can't play first base, yod can still do a lot of things with it. A fact, by the way, with which Branch Rickey, the Cardinals general manager, is well acquainted. Aside from the Phillies, the Cards are the only club in baseball from whom other clubs can secure good players withut giving some fairly efficient exponents of the art of pitch-and-catch in return. Like the futile Phils, the Redbirds don't draw, even when they're battling for the pennant (somethink the Phils never do), so they have to make up the difference by selling their stars. The St. Louis fans have no kick coming. If they won't patronize a winning club, they can expect little else. --Buy a Goodfellow Edition - Ceithaml To Fill Vacancy George Ceithaml, captain-elect of the football team, was appointed last night to fill the vacancy on the Ath- letic Bodrd of Control, created by the failure of Cliff Wise sto return to school. JINGLE BALL Lowrey Tries Many Changes On PckTeam By KEV JONES Down at the Michigan Coliseum, hockey coach Eddie Lowrey is a very busy man these days. After last Saturday's loss to the London A. C., Eddie has been experimenting with both forwards and defensemen in an effort to get a winning team from the material at hand. In an effort to put a little scoring power into the starting lineup, Coach Lowrey has been using Doug Hillman in the first line, and from the way that the sophomore speedster from Grand Rapids has been burning up the ice, there is a very good chance of his starting tomorrow night against Port Dover. Captain Paul Goldsmith has been riding the sidelines this week because of a charley-horse, but he is back in uniform now, and will probably see service this week-end. Goldy's leg is still a little stiff, but he expects to be in good shape for the game. If he is ready, Coach Lowrey will prob- ably start him in the front line with Hillman, but the week's experiment- ing has left a question as to the third man on offense. Defense hasn't been overlooked in Coach Lowrey's changes either. So far, nothing definite has been de- cided as to the players who will be given the starting positions, although Ed Reichert will probably get the nod for one of the defense slots. Bob Collins has been moved back to the second line defense in another experiment designed to give the team more power, and in an effort to mold a winning combination. At present the other post is in question between Jim Hull and Roy Bradley. Bradley has been converted from the forward line to the defense, and he is proving that it was a good change. However, at present Hull holds a slight advantage over him, and will probably get a chance on the first team. Coach Lowrey hopes that the re- sults of his experiments will show up on Saturday night. By DICK SIMON Wily Ben Van Alstyne, Michigan State basketball coach, is back to his old tricks again-bemoaning the fact he has another weak team and that the Spartans are not likely to beat the Wolverines tomorrow night in Yost Field House. But as usually is the case, the Spar- tan cage mentor will come up with a team that will be tough to beat. All Letter Winners Just to prove that Van Alstyne is singing the blues for no good rea- son, one needs only to look at his first team, which is composed of all letter winners. The Spartans lost two of their best players of last year, Bob Phillips, and Max Hindman, via graduation, but were compensated for these loss- es by the return to action of Chet Aubuchon, an All-American selec- tion for guard in the 1939-40 season. The flashy Gary, Ind., ,senior was forced out of school last year by a sickness which nearly cost him his life, but is now ready for active duty with the Green and White cagers. Phillips, Hindman Gone To replace Phillips at forward, Van Alystne has been using Dudley Jones, a six foot junior, and he has been playing along side of Joe Gerard, a member of last year's starting team. Taking Hindman's place at center have been Carl Petroski, a junior, and Fred Stone, a lanky sophomore. Bob Westfall Named AP Second Team Fullback In the final All-American football eleven selection, named by the Asso- ciated Press and released last night, Michigan's 1940 captain, "Bullet" Bob Westfall, was named on the second team. The first team includes: ends- Schreiner, Wisconsin, and Kutner, Texas; tackles-Wildung, Minanesota, and Reinhard, California; guards- Peabody, Harvard, and Fife, Pitts, burgh; center-Jenkins, Missouri; backs-Albert, Stanford; Dudley, Vir- gipia; Sinkwich, Georgia; and Smith, Minnesota. Wolverines Face Tough Battle With Veteran Spartan Quintet I I T he EBR VAUL T Stone hasn't started a game yet, but has seen action in both of the Spar- tan victories. Bill Burk, another performer of last year's team is playing the other guard position. He's. another senior and is just about the same height as his teammate, Aubuchon., About the only thing that Van Alstyne can use his handkerchief for then, is the height that his team must give to Coach Bennie Oosterbaan's quintet. Aubuchon and Burk are under the six foot mark and Gerard, Petroski and Jones just reach that height. If Stone starts, he'll be the only man to be over six feet tall. Wolverines Are Tall The Wolverines, on the other hand, are mere giants compared to their op- ponents. They'll average close to six feet two inches in height when they line up for the opening jump tomorrow night. Jim Mandler, six foot four junior. will be at center; Leo Doyle, six foot two, at guard; Capt. Bill Cartmill, ix foot one, at forward; and either six foot two inch Mel Comin or six foot Bob Shemky at the other for- ward spot. Either Morrie Bikoff, he only person under six feet likely o start, or Bill MacConnachie, six foot one inch sophomore will get the nod from Oosterbaan for the other guard's spot. Dial Doherty Will Hold Stiff Time Trials For Cinder Squad This year the Wolverine track team possesses some of the finest sprinting talent in the Western Conference. Led by Capt. Al Piel, who placed third in the Big Ten 220-yard dash event last May, the speedsters also have Al Thomas, fourth-place winner in the same event, on whom they can rely. Then there is Bob Lifer, who has already turned in a time of 50.2 sec- onds for the 440-yard dash. This feat is especially brilliant, not only be- cause it is so early in the season, but also because this is the fastest time a quarter-miler has turned in before the Christmas vacation started in a, number of years. Michi an track fans will get a chance Lo see these speed demons in action tomorrow at the Field House, when Coach Ken Doherty will hold the first intensive time trials of the season. The field events are scheduled to start at 2:30 p.m., with the track events to follow an hour later. The time trials are open to the public and will give the cinder squad backers a chance to see the team in action before the regular season starts in February. 8200 for It All-Campus Grapplers To Meet Spec ial Delivery Service Cliff Keen, Varsity mat coach, an-l nounced yesterday that the Annual University Wrestling Championships will be held Wednesday, Dec. 17, at 4 p.m. in Yost Field House, All students enrolled in the Univer- sity will be eligible to compete in this contest except letter winners on the Varsity wrestling team, and Keen urges everyone interested in the mat sport to try out for this tournament. This will be an excellent oppor- tunity for all freshmen to get some real experience before trying out for the Varsity.
