Patten was clocked in 56 seconds flat for the first 100 yards, but even then he was not better than second as Dartmouth's tall Fred Worthen was setting a blistering pace that found him five yards ahead at the century mark. Then at the 150 yard post, Patten made his great bid and as he started his closing kick, both Johnson and Chouteau began to pull up, while Worthen faded, a victim of his own pace. But Coach Matt Mann's ace was not to be denied. Smoothly and speedily he opened up gaping holes of water between himself and the second place Johnson. When it was over, Patten was the winner by-more than three yards and the Yale star had been paid back for his victory at Ann Arbor. Tomorrow night they' meet again, in the 100 yard freestyle. Chouteau was third, Worthen fourth and Jack Ryan of Ohio State fifth. lKelly Misses Turn Then the high-geared Yale aggre- gation struck a snag which many thought would seriously impair its churning quest for its first National Collegiate title. Dick Kelly, the sen- sational Bulldog who was favored to win the 50 yard free style, missed his turn in the semi-finals this afternoon and did not qualify. Capt. Dobby Burton of Michigan won the heat in the time of 23.6, while Kelly was a poor last. But even so, Yale received ample compensation for the mishap. Gus Sharemet, carrying the Maize and Blue banner in the other semi-final, was far in front at the turn and was powering his way down the lane to victory when his flailing arm hit the lane rope. Sharemet lost his stroke and the race. So two of the brightest free style stars in the na- tion did not compete in tonight's finals. Amundsen Wins 50 Bob Amundsen, Northwestern soph- omore who took the Big Ten title, won the final 50 race tonight ii the same time that brought him victory in the conference, 23.4. Ed Hall, the new-found discovery from Massa- chusetts State, finished second, bare- ly edging the battling Burton. The Michigan pocket battleship covered himself with glory today, however, for he not only swam the speediest half-centuries of his life, his final time being 23.7, but he also anchored the Wolverine Medley Relay team! where the stop watches clocked him in the most spectacular 100 yard sprint of the entire cast. In the qualifying trial for the med- ley, Michigan drew the lane next to Yale. At the end of the bac- stroke and breast stroke legs, the Wolverines were three yards in ar- rears. Burton Edges Pope And it was then Burton took com- mand. With Eli Ed Pope three yards in front, the Maize and Blue parti- san crowd called for full steam ahead. Responding. with every bit of power' in his tiny body, Burton flew pastr the streaking Pope on the last lap to touch him out. The Wolverine relay time was 2:59.7, and Burton's time for his 100 yards was 51.7. The stands let loose with a bellowing roarj as the clocking was announced. But in the finals tonight it was a different story. Not even Burton, this time propelling his small frame through the water in 51.9, could make; upthe huge 10 yard deficit which was handed him. Dick Riedl finished the dorsal leg nine yards behind Bulldog Lou Dannenbaum, and Mich- igan lost another yard to breast stroker Ted David. Burton hit the water and vainly tried to catch Pope, but the best his heroic effort netted him was the runner-up spot, after regaining six of the valuable yards. Yale's winning time was 2:54.8, while Michigan did no better than 2:58.9.

Tounoh Season Faces Netters Michigan's Title Opposed By Wildcats,_Chicago By DICK SIMON NET VOLLEYS: Big Ten sports releases are starting to find their way to The Daily and from all indi- cations the Wolverine netters will be in for a tough battle to retain their Western Conference crown . . . with most of the opposition again coming from Northwestern and Chicago. Back for his final year at North- western is Seymour Greenberg, 20th ranking amateur in the country in his two previous years of compe- tition the Wildcat southpaw has not lost one Conference match . . . last year lihe walked off with the Big Ten singles title and then teamed up with Capt. Gene Richards to beat Michi- gan's Capt. Jim Tobin and Lawton Hammett for the doubles crown. If Bobby Jake is able to compete, the Wildcats will again have a doubles combination that will be pretty hard to beat . . . Jake, former National Boys' title winner three years ago, injured his shoulder playing basket- ball and there is still some doubt whether he will be in shape to play tennis before the championships in May . . . if his shoulder is not both- ering him, the Milwaukee star will play in the number two singles spot and team with Greenberg in doubles. Out Chicago way, the Maroons will again have a strong aggregation . . . Cal Sawyier received special permis- sion from the Big Ten officials to play another year of tennis and will be giving the leaders a good run for their money in the number one singles spot . . . the whole squad is practically the same as last year's and has been strengthened by a couple of freshman racqueteers. The Wolverines, who open their season April 17 with Michigan State here, plan to go outdoors the early part of next week-if the weather stays nice . . . this will mark the first time in many years that Coach Leroy Weir has been able to take the team outside before April first. By BUD LOW With varsity golf coach Ray Court- right spending practically all of his time with the wrestling squad this past week, Michigan's linksmen have been strictly on their own. Eighteen hopeful golfers have been working out diligently for over a month in the driving nets at the Sports Building, preparatory to going out to the Uni- versity course in another couple of weeks to put the finishing touches on their drives, iron shots, and puts. Wolverine Chances Good The Wolverines' chances for a suc- cessful season are considered very good. Added to four returning let- termen are half a dozen sophomores, all of which are good enough to see varsity competition this year. Holding down the number one spot honors, Bill Stewart, and Phil Mar- cellus. For two years in a row Wolverine: golfers have finished second to Illi- nois in the Western Conference tour- nament, and this year they are hop- ing to end the reign of the Illini golfers. Last year at the conference meet at Columbus, Michigan tied the Buckeyes with 1268 points, while the Orange and Blue men hit 1228. ' Despite the fact that Courtright will be without the services of three of last season's letter winners who were graduated last June, "Corky" is confident that Michigan will come forth with a good showing against Illinois and Ohio State, top-ranking contenders for team honors in the Big Ten meet which will be held here in Ann Arbor on May 18 and 19.1 The Wolverines have been too long without a golf title, and it seems that this may be the year. Press had this to say in advance of the American Congress Bowling Tourney last week: "If you're plan- ning on staying at a downtown hotel this week, don't look under the bed before you settle down for that much-needed snooze but shake out the covers well. Two teams of practical jokers from Big Spring, Tex., are bringing 250 Horned Toads with them" ... but the AP missed a good bet by not following up with a play by play account.
