T=UUKDAY, MARCH 19, 19 THE MICHIGAN DAILY rAGE THIME Six I-M Titles Decided At Annual Open House Program n I'OITFOLI4 * Stevie Joins The Army * New Threat To Axis By HAL WILSON Daily Sports Editor * * * * 3,500 Pack Gymnasium For Giant Sports Show Feud's A Brewin' Thinclads Clash With Hoosiers In Chicago Relay Race Friday By HOE SELTZER Scientific investigation reveals that there are two species of penguins. One species wears tuxedos, the other is clad in full dress. BY THE TIME this comes to the divine attention of Emperor Hi- rohito, Stevie Bronson may already have proved our point, to wit: Unless the Japs, often imitative of American ways, develop a flock of 60-second quarter-milers in a hurry, the less fleet-footed Nip- ponese won't be on their feet at all. For the soon-to-be Private John Steven Bronson, United States Army, isn't the kind of a guy who comes out second best. HE GAVE the little yellow men some indication of the running heights they must attain in order to outfoot him in this man's war yester- day at an impromptu farewell party thrown by Coach Ken Doherty's track team at the Field House. Stevie works in the official capac- ity as trainer and unofficial capac- ity as companion, adviser, and gen- eral buddy to all Michigan ath- lete& He's scheduled to leave the Wolverine scene very soon-prob- ably within two weeks-for Army service. Yesterday the trackmen dressed him up, trotted him out on the cinderpaths after a quick rub- down, and turned him loose in an attempt to shatter Bob Ufer's re- cently-established World Indoor 440-yard record of 48.1 seconds. A VICTIII of misjudged pacing, Stevie overstepped the mark by just 20 seconds. His strategy was obvious: turn in a fast 220, but keep enough in reserve to round the final lap with a torrid burst of speed. He turned the cinders into glowing coals with a remarkably fast 33 second clocking for the initial 220 yards. But, unfortunately, little Stevie didn't have quite enough drive left in his pounding short legs to complete the last half in 15 seconds, so Ufer's standard still stands. And Bron- son's 68-second clocking will remain, not in the record book, but only in the memories of those who saw it. Said Coach Doherty: "Well, maybe he can broad jump." Said. Ufer: "It's safe to say that Cochran is just a little tougher threat to the record." Admitted Bronson: "I guess Ufer is a pretty good runner at that, but-(brightening up) look who trained him." AND the entire track team spoke their common appreciation for Fred Gipson Named New Senior Cage Manager Fred Gipson, '43, of Toledo, 0., was named senior basketball manager for the coming season at the annual ban- quet of the basketball team held in the Union yesterday. Gipson chose as his junior mana- gers Jack Ellman, '44, Jackson Pal- insi, '44, Sam Holland, '44, and Hugh Miller, '44.

Liberty Next To P. Hell On The Corner Stevie's tireless, faithful years of service here at Michigan. They pre- sented him with a beautiful gold watch, complete with inscription to the finest little trainer in the coun- try. Many's the close Wolverine vic- tory that has had Stevie's skillful techniques indirectly behind it. HisI trainingefinesse has put thousands of Maize and Blue athletes into peak condition. But that's only half the tale. The majority of athletes are as temperamental as opera singers-although both classes will deny any temperament whatso- ever. It would take a hundred columns to tell the countless foibles and fancies of an athlete's mind. Which is no indictment, but a statement of fact. THE ATHLETES often came to Bronson with their problems. And he had a way of instilling confidence, of dispelling doubt. A calm, quiet word here, a sharp, rebuking phrase there, a long hash-session of a press- ing problem-these have often mani- fested themselves concretely on the competitive field in the form of Wol- verine victories. It goes without saying that Mich- igan's loss is the nation's gain. Stevie will be a real asset to the United States armed forces. The last part of that second paragraph bears repeating: he isn't the kind of a guy who comes out second best. Buck Newsom May Sign LAKELAND, Fla., March 18.-(P)-- Louis Norman (Buck) Newsom, sporting three chins and a brew-mas- ter's midriff, engaged in his first workout at the Detroit Tigers' train- ing camp today and indicated his holdout campaign may be drawing to a close. ig Eps Take Fraternity B Physical Fitness Dri ('his story was compiled byB art Jenks and the new freshman members of the Daily Sports staff.) Climaxing the winter season the I-M last night presented its annual Open House before a crowd of 3500 people at the Sports Building. Fea- turing this biggest of I-M nights were the six major championships played off during the evening but hardly less interesting was the military physical fitness drill and a galaxy of exhi- bitions performed by top flight ath- letes. Basketball Lacks Scores The top attractions of the evening, the basketball finals, were featured by a dearth of scoring. Sigma Phi Epsilon defeated Delta Kappa Epsilon in the fraternity A final by the score of 13-9. Neither team had the range in the first half, there being only one field goal made. The second half progressed in the same fashion as the first, the Sig Eps winning out in the last two minutes. Michigan House emerged as the resident hall champion defeating Prescott 16-15. It looked as if Mich- igan was going to win by a walkaway as they led 12-4 at the half, but the game developed into a thriller and Prescott came back just short of vic- tory. Chuck Avery with six points led the victors, while Dick Bodycombe had the same number for the losers. The Dive Bombers defeated the Lumberjacks 31-13 to annex the in- dependent championship. Phi Delts Take Crown Highlighting the swimming pro- gram was the Inter-Fraternity cham- pionship meet. The meet was a two- team duel between Phi Delta Theta and Phi Kappa Psi, with the Phi Delts finally emerging triumphant with 33 points to Phi Psi's 26. After winning the freestyle relay, the 100, and the 50 yard freestyle events, the champs sewed up the meet with a second in the medley relay. In the Residence Hall semi-finals Chicago swamped Allen-Rumsey by a l , ;asketball Crown; Military UIs Please Spectators score of 38-23. and Williams likewise' trounced Wenley 40-21. In the dormitory wrestling finals Prescott House walked off with tean honors when they placed one-two in the 155-pound and 175-pound brack- ets. The matches between Augie Al- tese and Harry Gilmore in the 155- pound class and Bill Earle and Cliff Myll, 175-pounders, were called draws. Three bouts were decided by falls: heavyweight Fred Bryan (Fletcher) pinned George Lutz (Michigan) in 2:59; Stewart Linton ,Allen-Rum- sey) glued Bob Isleib (Adams) to the mat at 1 :29 in the 128-pound brack- et; and Grant Allen (Fletcher) nail- ed Bob Milnor (Chicago) in 1:50 at the 145-pound level. Other winners were 165-pounder Maurice Edwards (Allen-Rumsey) over Roy Boucher (Winchell) by 8-0 and Irv StatlerI from Miguel Roza (Greene) by de- fault in the 121-pound class. Kerr Is Fencing Titlist The final champion of the eve- ning was Bob Kerr who topped two opponents to cop the fencing crown. In addition, four volleyball teams put on exhibitions with Nu Sigma Nu, professional fraternity cham- pion, defeating Sigma Alpha Mu in three out of five games and the Ann Arbor 'Y,' state champs, handing the Detroit 'Y' a 3-1 beating. Dy BOB STAHL It's not exactly a Hatfield and McCoy affair, this existing rivalry between the two-mile relay teams of Michigan and Indiana, but having encountered each other three times a year for the past three years, the two baton-passing quartets have built up a minor feud of some sort. And this minor feud will have its final showing of the 1942 season at the Chicago Relays Friday night. Ever since long-legged Campbell Kane, king of the Hoosier middle- distance stars, took over the anchor leg on Indiana's relay teams, the Hoosier quartets have dominated this rivalry. But the contests have al- ways been very close at Millrose, the Butler Relays and the Chicago Re- lays, with the Michigan crew hang- ing up wins on two occasions. Last year, for the first time since Kane had been anchoring the Hoo- sier team, the Wolverines came in ahead of the Indiana aggregation. That was in the Chicago Relays, when Warren Breidenbach shifted into high gear on the last lap and left Kane far behind, with the Wol- veritnes finishing about 35 yards in the lead. And this year, the Michigan quartet, placing third in the Millrose carnival, still finished ahead of In- diana. In the Butler Relays last Saturday, however, the Hoosiers gained full re- venge for that defeat, winning the university two-mile relay just a step ahead of the Wolverines, who took second. The Indiana team's time for that race was 7:45.1 seconds, more than five seconds better than the time turned in by the Michigan crew at the Millrose carnival. With the score for the 1942 season tied at one-all now, the two rivals have their last chance to shoot it out for the championship, in the Chicago Amphitheatre Friday. Composed of four such stars as Paul Kendall, Harry Price, Earl Mitchell, and Kane, the Hoosier team is favored to beat the Wolverines to the tape once more. But the Michigan quartet, with Johnny Roxborough taking the place of Ackerman, ran the best race it has turned in all season at Butler last week, and there is every possibility that the Michigan baton-passers might beat the Indiana team to the draw and to the tape.

Mann first discovered his freshman star at his own boys' camp in Ontario five years ago . . . he's nursed him along ever since.
