From all over the country they come-and invariably you can find something of keen interest con- tained in the journalistic endeavors of these other college writers and metropolitan scribes. Read this morning, for instance, some of these thoughts turned out by other sports editors: GENE FRIEDMAN, Ohio State Lan- tern: "Nothing was so gratifying to us as reading that Michigan's great swimming team, undefeated in 38 consecutive dual swimming meets, had been completely sub- merged by Yale. The Elis not only swamped the inflated Wolverines, but swept every first plac. "We don't expect Ohio State to win the intercollegiate swimming cham- pionship, but as long as the Buck- eyes can't have it, we don't know of anyone we'd rather see win it than the team that squashed Michigan." LINC WILLISTON, The Daily Illini: "Several theories have been forwarded for the surge of scoring punch in the Big Ten this season. Probably the greatest sin- gle cause for the hot basket shoot- ing is the presence of lowly Chi- cago, which has held but one club below 50 points this season." TED CLARK, Purdue Exponent: "Once again there is pressure for Chicago to bow out of the Western Conference . . . certainly a com- mendable idea however you look at it." MARV RAND, Wisconsin Daily Cardinal: "Will Chicago take a few more hints and withdraw from the Big Ten entirely?" CHARLES FISHER, Philadelphia Record: "We know the Japanese are sensitive on the subject of base- ball, but we don't believe it was fair of them to go after the Athletics with gunfire the moment they arrived on the West Coast for spring training." JOE CUMMISKEY, P.M.: "Leslie Mac Mitchell, NYU .automaton, is not often front runner in his races, except, of course, at the finish. But he offers some interesting reasons for not setting the pace: 'When I'm in front I'm conscious of fighting wind-resistance. I know there's no wind indoors but a runner moving at seven yards per second creates his own breeze. It makes my eyes water and I can't keep my mind on the race'" JOHN K. TABOR, Yale Daily News: "The outstanding performer for Yale and of the meet as a whole, was unquestionably Leroy Schwarzkopf (brother of Michigan's 1940 track captain, Ralph). He began his day's work by smashing his own year-old Cage record for the one mile run, as he ran the distance in 4:16.2, missing the all time Yale record by only two tenths of a second." THE PITT NEWS: OBITUARY "Died: The University of Pitts- burgh basketball team last Tues- day evening at 9:30 o'clock at the Carnegie Tech gymnasium in its 12th game of a prolonged illness. The Panther squad was born on Dec. 20, 1941, at Evanston, Ill. "The health of the deceased was steadily declining until this week when the 'Tartan Terrors,' con- querors of Thiel, Allegheny and Case, proved just too much for them. "The victim was survived by its father, Doctor H. Clifford Carlson and is sadly mourned by Univer- sity of Pittsburgh students. Max Hannum will conduct the funeral services."

But for the most exciting battle of the night all eyes were focused on the 200 yard breaststroke event where Michigan's John Sharemet and State's Chuck Bigelow staged as exciting a race as has ever been seen in Jenison pool. For the first five laps the two con- testants were. abreast of each other at every turn. Then Bigelow, re- sponding to the home crowd's cheers, sprinted ahead of Sharemet on the sixth length. And he remained five yards in front until the last turn was reached, at which point John, gath- ering steam with every stroke, over- took him and breezed home the win- ner by two yards in the time of 2:37.1. Biggest surprise of the night, how- ever, was the victory of sophomore John Wiese in the 150 yard back- stroke. The Wolverine, up to now the squad's third backstroker, went out in front at the gun and stayed there until the finish, edging team- mate Ted Horlenko by a scant hand. His time was 1:43. In the 220 yard freestyle it was Patten and Michigan's Lou Kivi all the way, while in the 440 Patten and Walt Stewart finished a pool length and a half ahead of the Spartan en- tries. Gus Sharemet barely beat out State's Ralph Newton and Harold Heffernan to win the 50 in the time of 24.6. The Michigan 440 yard free- style relay quartet had an easy time of it as they stroked their way to a lap victory, covering the distance in 3:56.6. Riedl, swimming a free- style part for the first time in his career, turned in a very acceptable 53.4 100. Michigan State had to wait until the 100 yard freestyle before it gar- nered, its lone first place. Ralph Varsity Ice Squad Plays Frosh Today JOhN SHAREMIET Newton won for the Spartans, with Perry Trytten finishing second to the winner's time of 55. Strother "T-Bone" Martin emerged an easy victor in the low-board div- ing with a total of 391.5 points. Alex Canja of Michigan dove his way to second place, tallying 354.2 markers while State's Red McNicol finished a poor third with 297.1 points to his credit. By BOB STAHL Boasting a record of three wins in as many starts, the 1942 edition of the Wolverine track squad wili set out for Chicago Friday on the trail of the Western Conference indoor title which Indiana took away from Michigan last year and, from all in- dications, quite a task lies in store for the Wolverine thinclads. For a dark horse has crept into the picture this year. Ohio State's ram- bling Buckeyes are on the war-path and if previous records can be taken for any sort of criterion, the long- striding Bucks will carry back to Columbus with them the first Big Ten indoor track crown in their his- tory. Undefeated in five meets this season, the Ohio State cindermen sport impressive victories over such powers of the cinder circle as Penn State and Illinois, and not a bookie can be found who will refuse to give odds for the Buckeyes to continue their winning ways in the Conference round-up. Wright Paces Buckeyes Blazing Bob Wright, the lanky hurdler and dash star of the Ohio State crew upon whom sportswriters have heaped more superlatives than any one Buckeye since the inimitable Jesse Owens, leads the Ohio attack. In the meet with Illinois last Satur- day, the colorful Wright won three events, the 60 yarddash, the 70 yard low hurdles in which he tied the fieldhouse record, and the 70 yard high hurdles. And, in several meets when time permitted, the Buckeye junior has even gained points in the shot put. Comparative records of the Big Ten teams give evidence, however, that Wright will not have such easy sailing in the Conference meet. In the 60 yard dash, for example, there are six men of almost equal ability, with the fifth having just as good a chance of winning as the first. Michigan Trio In Sprints Ralph Hammond, Wright's fellow Buckeye, and Lee Farmer of Iowa hold the best record for this event, both having turned in a very fast 6.2 seconds in earlier meets. These two are followed by Michigan's three speed demons, Al Thomas, Capt. Al Piel, and Lenny Alkon, and Wright, all of whom have sprinted the dis- tance in 6.4 seconds. Track experts have long maintained that in any sprint event, it is the runner who. gets the best start who stands the 1.N best chance of breaking the tape, and with times as nearly equal as these six aces hold, it would be possible for any one of them to blaze his way to a win in the Big Ten meet. Somewhat the same situation pre- sents itself in the high and low hurd- les. The versatile Wright is given the edge in both events, with, his team- mate George Hoeflinger, Don Olsen of Illinois, Henry Vollenweider of Iowa, or Michigan's injured Frank McCarthy all holding . an outside chance of ousting the favorite from his winner's spot. In the lows, some prognosticators are picking Wolver- ine Al Thomas or Olsen of Illinois to upset the Buckeye ace. Michigan sophomore Chuhck Pinney will also be a threat in this contest. Running in a special half-mile race during the Michigan-Pitt meet last Friday night, Ross Hume, star of the Wolverine freshman crew, recorded a time of 1:58.4 seconds, just one- tenth of a second off the all-time Michigan freshman mark. Bob Hume, twin brother of the winner, placed second in the race. Ir 11 . , . This Ote We Don't -I ! II This One We Whin .

When he realizes what has happened, he just about tears the last hair out of a formerly prized handful. Last Saturday night after the Michigan hockey team had put up a futile struggle against the perennial Minnesota rival, several persons-in- cluding two seniors and two juniors--- came up to this writer and asked ".where have I been all these years?" Most of them had read little of Wol- verine puck victories, and consequent- ly, they never bothered to brave the weather and see what was going on down at the Coliseum. And right now there are many scattered locks covering the ice on Hill Street. Record Immaterial Eddie Lowrey's sextet has played 13 games this season, winning only one and tying another. And that's no record to brag about. But no- body is bragging about the record; the entire squad has tried, and that's all anyone can ask. Right now the attendance records boast a red hot average of 650, and the Coliseum can handle double that number. About the Gopher series there is little to say. , The Michigan outfit played hockey with Larry Arm- strong's crew and played just as well as the visitors-except in one case. And a mighty important case it turned out to be. While the Go- phers pounded on Hank Loud for five markers, the best the Wolverines could do was to garner but a lone goal. After all, when you boil it all down, isn't that what really counts. Hockey Thrills 'Em Sport to sport, hockey rates right at the top as one with spectator thrills. For three 20-minute periods, there's alway& something doing. And Saturday's battle was far from an ex- ception. Every time Big Johnny Gillis sent someone crashing into the boards, the noise was picked up and echoed by those attending. Every time Loud or Burt Joseph came out to make a spec-' tacular save, everyone rose to their feet demanding success or failure-1 as the particular occasion suited. On Thursday and Saturday nights balmy spring breezes heralding the approach of another baseball seasonI Coach Ray Fisher finds himself with the difficulty of finding capable re- placements for six of the regulars on last year's Big Ten championship team. Dick Wakefield, sensational sopho- more outfielder, colorful short-stop Mike Sofiak, Bill Steppon and Pitch- er Cliff Wise are only a few of the Michigan stars that will be sorely missed this year. t But Fisher, who is starting his twenty-second year as coach of the Wolverine baseball team, is used to this problem and has already started to work to build another Conference championship team. Three Dozen Hurlers The venerable coach has had close to 35 pitchers working out in the Yost Field House during the past three weeks and will have his entire squad in full swing before the week is over. Fisher has been forced to spend most of his time with the freshman and sophomore hurlers since his en- tire pitching staff of last year is no longer with him. With the close of the basketball season last night, it is expected that at least five more of the cagers will trade their gym shoes for cleats and report to the indoor diamond. Hobman Leads List Heading the group will be Whitey Holman, who did an excellent job as left-fielder for Fisher last year. Along with Whitey will come Bill Cartmill who along with footballer Dave Nelson took care of the center field duties. As if replacements weren't a big enough problem in themselves Fisher will havehto re-arrange most of his spring schedule. The revised sched- ule will be announced later in the week.
