1942 THE MICHIGAN DAILY P'AGE THREE . ... Conference Swimming And Wrestling Meets Open Today Net Squad To Forego Trip South By DICK SIMON Coach Leroy Weir's tennis squad is the latest victim of the Univer- sity's speed-up academic program. The Michigan netters, defending , Western Conference champions, will forego their annualrsouthern trip during the early part of April, ac- cording to Coach Weir, who an- nounced the tennis schedule for the coming season yesterday. Shortage Hits Team "The shortage of rubber for tires and the fact that the boys will haveI a lot of studying to do made it nec- essary for me to cancel any plans for - a trip South this year," said the net mentor. The Wolverines open the 11-game dual meet schedule with Notre Dame here on April 18, with a possibility of opening a day earlier with Michi- gan State. The following week-end, the net squad takes tothe road for a three game series with Wisconsin, Illinois and Purdue, and four days later move up to East Lansing to bat- tle the Spartans. Returning home, the racqueteers clash with Chicago and Wayne and' then go to Columbus to meet North- western, runner-up to the Wolverines last season, and Ohio State. After one game at home with Western Michigan, the Maize and Blue netters go back to Columbus for the Big Ten championships. THE SCHEDULE April 17-Mich.

State Street 61 A I~c ag " Fisher Hopes To See Early Spring Here By MYRON DANN At this time of year most profes- sional baseball officials are having such comparatively trivial problems as holdouts who bother their fat purses. But Michigan's diamond coach, Ray Fisher, has one that only Mother Nature can solve-the wea- ther. In the past Wolverine baseball teams have been forced to make their annual spring trips with only their practice in the Yost Field House as a preparation for the stiff Southern competition. Fisher has wanted to work his squad outdoors for at least a week prior to the trip, but bad weather continually has forced him to aban- don those plans. "There is quite a difference be- tween playing indoors and outside," Fisher pointed out. It is practically impossible to carry out any real fielding or batting prac- tice in Yost Field House because of the space limitations and poor light- ing, the veteran Michigan coach added. "We get quite a bit accomplished indoors, but the Southern teams we meet have a decided advarntage with more than a month's outdoor prac- tice underneath their belts." COACH MATT MANNI Fahrbach are merely one-tenth of a1 second behind the Scarlet and Gray leader, each having swum the two- length course in 24 flat. The only other first place which hasn't been granted the Maize and Blue tankers is in the fancy diving contest. With such top-flight stars competing as Michigan's Strother (T-Bone) Martin, Ohio State's Frank Dempsey and Charlie Batterman and Northwestern's Howie Jaynes, no man can be elevated to the favorite's role. Michigan's Record Further evidence of Michigan's pronounced superiority can be found with a glance at its season's record. Only the great swimming team of Yale, victors by an overwhelming score of 59-16, has marred the Wol- verine campaign. In meets with Big Ten schools this year, the Mann- mentored mermen have left Ohio State, Iowa, Northwestern, Purdue and Minnesota capsized in their wake, and by decisive margins. And as Michigan battles the field today and tomorrow, more than one follower in the country's swimming circles will be viewing the Wolverine performances with a critical and questioning eye. For in just two short weeks the Michigan team will1 again face the mighty men of Yale, this time with the National Col- legiate title at stake, and the Big Ten meet should provide nere than a fair indication as to what can be expected from the Maize and Blue natators then. Conference Marks In Danger At least three Conference records will be in jeopardy as the invaders unite to, halt the Wolverines. Ex- pected to fall before the festivities I come to a close are the standards in the 300-yard medley relay, the 220- yard freestyle, and the 400-yard freestyle relay. And Michigan is the team expected to write the new times in the official books. Dick Riedl,. John Sharemet and Gus Sharemet will seek to smash the. old mark in the medley. Jack Patten is being counted upon as almost a certainty to establish a new 220 rec- ord, while the freestyle quartet of Burton, Lou Kivi, Bob West and Gus Sharemet is favored to change the clocking in the relay. Not only that, but the same Gus Sharemet is being given a 50-50 chance of bettering his own standard of 52-1 for the 100- yard freestyle. of everybody's eye in the 155 pound field. That he is a real titan on the mats is undisputed. But " our Mary Becker has also been more than slightly terrific and now he's keyed up for the biggest meet of his life. Capt. Loy J~lius of Iowa, last year's 3 ' 4 I COACHl CLIFF KEEN ' 128 pound Conference champ, would be favored to annex the 136 pound title tomorrow except that he is still injured. The race is therefore wide open and Ray Deane expects his new found sharpness and pep to narrow it down no little. Bill Courtright is in for a rough time in his 165 pound division. Wis- consin's Capt. Johnny Roberts will be defending the title he won a year ago. But Corky has become so mur- derously effective in the past two weeks of practice that it is quite likely that he and Roberts will hit each other in the finals. Cliff Keen practically concedes the 121 pound victory wreath to Purdue. No comment there then. But Dick Kopel has been an up-and-downer throughout the season, and he's been disgusted enough with himself lately for having stayed down so long that he's due to flare back today and to- morrow and throw in a point or so to the Michigan total. And lastly, Coach Keen's regret is that Al Wistert didn't come out for wrestling sooner. Al has all the re- quisite heart and strength of a heavyweight champ. All he lacks is the technique. But to this latter point Coach Keen has been bending much effort of late and it may well be that Al can work his way far enough up through the beefy boys to collect a marker or so. Now this comes to about 19 points. And we have said it takes 22 or so to cop the meet. So what does that mean? It just means that some of the guys who, mathematically figur- ing, can't swing the deal will have to give out with that something extra that makes a champ a champ. The boys are primed to do it. By BOB STAHL In search of its ninth conseutive Butler Relays title, the Wolverine thinclad aggregation will set out for Indianapolis at 1:15 p.m. today to pit its balance and power against some of the best track talent in the country tomorrow in the famous an- nual mid-western track carnival. But the defense of their title is almost a secondary issue with the Wolverine cindermen this weekend. For the meet in Butler University's spacious Field House will give the Michigan team its chance to encoun- ter Ohio State's Buckeyes again, the same Buckeyes who out-distanced the rest of the Western Conference at Chicago last week to capture the first Big Ten indoor track title in their history. Out After Buckeyes It's not just that the Buckeyes won the Big Ten meet that makes the Wolverines so eager to get another crack at them, because the Michigan team was hardly in the running up at Chicago, finishing in fourth place. But it seems that the Buckeyes were so elated at the finish of the meet that, they hoisted their coach, Larry Snyder, up on their broad shoulders and paraded around the Field House singing the famous Ohio State fun- eral song "We Don't Give a Damn for the Whole State of Michigan." Since the Wolverines don't meet the Ohio State team in dual meet competition indoors, this will be the last chance for them to avenge that insult until the two arch-rivals en- counter each other in their outdoor meet down at Columbus next May. Besides Ohio State, the Wolverines wil face such track prowess at Indi- anapolis as the fighting Irish of Notre Dame, the powerful Indiana Hoosiers, and a very strong aggre- gation of Cornhuskers from the Uni- versity of Nebraska. Despite the fact that the Buckeyes are the new Big Ten champions, Notre Dame rules as favorites to topple the Wolverines from the crown they have held for. so long. 60-Yard Dash Wide Open The most closely contested race will probably be the 60 yard dash, with such sprint stars as Michigan's Capt. Al Piel and Al Thomas, Ohio State's Ralph Hammond and Bob Wright, and Pitt's Bill Carter leading the pack. Wright, present holder of almost every hurdle record in the country, is expected to have little trouble in maintaining his timber-topping lau- rels, especially with Michigan's high- hurdling star, Frank McCarthy, def- initely out of the running because of his injured hip. Indiana, with such distance stars as Campbell Kane, Earl Mitchell, and Paul Kendall, is expected to domi- nate the longer runs. In the field events, the top spots are almost toss- ups, with Wolverine shot-putter DiMaggio Signs Contract ST. PETERSBURG, Fla., March 12 -('P)-Joe DiMaggio came to terms with the New York Yankees tonight in an hour-long conference with President Ed Barrow. Although the salary was not announced, it was be- lieved to be $42,000. George Ostroot and pole-vaulter Bob Segula looked to for plenty of points because of their very good showings in last week's Conference meet. The following Michigan cindermen will make the trip to Indianapolis: Will Ackerman, Willis Glas, Gene Hirsch, John Ingersoll, John Kautz, Ernie Leonardi, Dave Matthews, Buel Morley, Ostroot, George Pettersen, Piel, Chuck Pinney, John Roxbor- ough, Jim Sears, Segula, Roosevelt Stiger, Thomas, and Bob Ufer. 4 I '.' 14 r now }w ~t at Wild4b Here's a genuine FUR FELT HAT to be proud of. $3 .85 All one price.
