TORONTO, April 7.-(A)-The ir-
repressible Detroit Red Wings made
it two in a row over Toronto Maple
Leafs tonight, scoring a 4-2 victory
in the second game of their best-of-
seven Stanley Cup final series.
Neither team was able to score in
the opening minutes although pen-
alties were frequent and both clubs
were at full strength when Don
Grosso poked in the Red Wings' first
tally at 11:47. He got the disc on a
pass from Eddie Wares. Mud Brune-
teau made the second Detroit tally
at 14:17. There were seven penalties
in the first period, Bob Goldham of
Toronto twice being sent to the cell.
Toronto missed a chance to break
into the scoring column at the start
of the second period when Syl Apps
passed to the mouth of the cage but
no one was there to give it the added
push. The action got hotter and with
each team a man short, Sweeney
Schriner scored on a pass from Billy
Taylor and Wally Stanowski. There
were only six penalties in this period,
including the first of the season for
Apps.
The attendance was announced at
14,079. Toronto went on the attack
from the start but Grosso bagged his
second goal at 4:15. Gerry Brown and
Schriner were penalized and Schriner
had a few seconds of his sentence left
when Davidson was sent off. Gerry
Brown deflected Bush's hard shot
into the nets for Detroit's fourth goal.
Stanowski counted the Leafs' sec-
ond in the 15th minute. Toronto
pressed for the remainder of the
game but couldn't crack the Detroit
defense and there was no further
scoring. Brody was taken off andj
Leafs sent six men to the attack in
the last minute.

PORTFOLIO
" Presenting Johnny Coulon
" World's Greatest Bantam

NEXT TIME you're in Chicago go
down to 1154 East 63rd Street,
climb up to the gym on the third
floor and walk right in. A very little
man with a bald head and a happy
smile will step forward to greet you
and thus you will have the honor of
shaking the hand of the greatest
bantamweight fighter of all time. His
name is Johnny Coulon.
Now John stands only five feet
and one inch in military heels and
his weight when he is all out of
condition and bloated up is a scan-
dalous 110 pounds. His face beneath
a pate which constantly maintains
a high gloss is absolutely angelic
with -that gentle smile and those
rimless spectacles. A very mild
man indeed, Johnny Coulon looks
like.G
A ND IN TRUTH outside the ring
John was ever the mildest of
human folk. But inside his theater
of business--and this is what made
himn the greatest scrapper of all time
up to 120epounds-never was there
a boxer who combined dazzling speed
with murderous fury as in this man.
A few men have been faster than
Johnny and a smaller number could
hit harder, but never were these two
requisites of a great fighter combined
so flawlessly as in the 108 pound
dynamo who slashed to ribbons ev-:
erything that faced him in the ring
between the years 1907 and 1914.
They say Johnny is 53 years old.
Looking at him you say it might be
true. But see him work out in the
ring and you swear it's a lie. No
man with that many candles on his
cake could flit about so fast afoot,
could handle his dukes with suchj
catlike speed, could hit with such#
devastating force. A man active all
his life should be burned out at 53.
But Johnny isn't and he insists he
has not had his system spiked with
monkey glands. He just relaxes,1
he says. He keeps himself as loose
as Mrs. Kelly's jelly at all times
and thus never needlessly tires
himself out. It's that simple,
Johnny claims.
OHN'S most stunning knockout
victories were scored against oppo-
nents so foul-tempered, so savage
and devastating that the good public
wondered that he even had the cour-
age to face them. But the fact is
he welcomed these bouts with un-
paralleled glee because they were
set-ups for the easy-going style of
fighting that belied his homicidal.
tendencies. Good strong boys Coulon
always calls such fellows, and the
picture of him handling one is sheer
beauty to contemplate:
The bells ring ... John glides out
from his corner, feints and slips
off to the right .'... his opponent
whistles a crushing counter right
1 through empty air ... John stands
off, shuffling easily and now the
more wary foe figures he will line
up this jack-in-the-box first before
he cuts loose again . . . slowly he
plods after Coulon, waving his
right mauler in menacing circles
... now le's got this guy ... swoosh
... missed again, dammit. . . why
doesn't that ninny stand up and
fight...
Round two ... John's breathing
easy, but his enemy isn't . . . it
takes as much out of a guy to miss
as to hit . . . so this Coulon clown
is the champ, huh? ..". somebody's
been handing me the malarkey ...
all he's got is a powder puff left ...
I'm sick of waiting ... I'm gonna
wade right in and...
BOOM!!! . . . John's been wait-
ing for it . . . the sucker drops his
guard and comes plowing in . .. a
smashing left counter to straighten
him up, plant that right cross just
below the ear, a left hook to the
short ribs and he can't breathe any
more, a right under the heart to
finish the job ... ten seconds count
... Coulon, winner and still chain-
peen ... by a K.O.
THAT'S Johnny Coulon the fighter.
There is also Johnny Coulon the
phenomenon, the miracle man who
defies the men of science.
As above stated, the gentleman
weighs a mere 110 pounds. And yet,
if he so wills, there is not a man on
earth who can lift him off the floor.C
It's something absolutely inexplic-
able. You grasp him about the waistl
and virtually toss him up in the air.
Then he lightly touches your right
wrist and under your left ear and you,
try again. And nothing happens. It
is like trying to lift up one of the
columns of Angell Hall.
The scientific boys heard about
this when Johnny was over in
France in 1917 and they said why
this is a lot of bushwah, 110 pounds
is 110 pounds and that is that and
we will dispose of this matter right
away. So they corralled the strong-
est man in all France, and the fel-
low was of course insulted when
they asked him to try and lift up
this little shrimp.
The Sandow straddled the scale
John was standing on and started
lifting. Five minutes later he had
to hang up his leopard skin and go
home in shamefaced defeat. The
best he had done was reduce the
unfathomable Coulon's avoirdupois
to 21 pounds. The savants scratch-
ed their beards and mumbled dees
ees verree strange eendeed and
Johnny went home still unlifted.
WHEN the big show in Europe was
over John came back to 63rd
Street, Chicago and set up a gym-
nasium. And there one finds him
today in complete contentment as he
teaches youths interested in learning
how to box as much of the ring wiz-
ardry which was the scourge of the
bantams for seven years as the
youngsters are capable of absorbing.
Golf Tryouts
Are Scheduled
For Saturday
Weather Fails To Keep
Linksmen Off Course;
Ben Smith Scores 75
By BUD LOW
Despite the fact that there was a
constant downpour of rain all day
yesterday, six Varsity golfers and
one freshman tryout played a full
round of 18 holes at the University
course.
This is indicative of one thing-
Wolverine linksmen are not letting
any grass grow under their feet in
preparation for their shortened
spring. trip which begins one week
from Saturday at Lexington against
the University of Kentucky.
Tryouts Saturday.
Coach Ray Courtright announced
yesterday that 36-hole tryouts for
both Varsity and freshmen would be
played this coming Saturday in or-
der to help determine his squad of
fourteen. Candidates are to play 18
holes in the morning and the same
number in the afternoon. Those
golfers who cannot play at this time
should contact Coach Courtright im-
mediately to arrange to play their
rounds another time, preferably Fri-
day or Sunday.
In all probability, Ray will have a
difficult task in trying to choose the
1942 Varsity golf squad because of
the array of talent. The team will
be built around the fou' returning
lettermen and strengthened by the
addition of a number of new men,
any one of whom should be capable
of filling the vacancies.
Smith Shoots 75
Blazing Ben Smith gave warning
to other aspirants for the individual
championship in the Conference by
shooting a 75 on Monday. This is
considered exceptionally good for the
beginning of the season and shows
promise of lower scores later in the
year. Only last week sophomore Bill
Ludolph went around the course with
a 79, another very creditable per-
formance. Consistently, scores in the
low eighties have been turned in by
other Varsity members, which means
that Michigan's golf team is shaping
up rather well.

Veterans Of Vc
By BUD HENDEL
Maybe nobody ever thought of it,
but some sort of medal should be
awarded Matt Mann and his Michi-
gan swimmers. Over the span of the
last four years, only the unbeatable
football team of Minnesota can boast
of being a more consistent Big Ten
athletic aggregation than the Wol-
verine natators.
For instance, the season just con-
cluded was the worst Mann and his
lads suffered during this four-year
period. But, it can't be called an
unsuccessful campaign in any sense
of the word. The Maize and Blue
won nine dual meets and lost only
one, that to the powerful Yale crew,
59-16. Also, the lightning Eli pad-
dlers wrested the National Collegiate
crown from the Wolverine head after
it had reposed there for eight straight
years in defiance of bold attempts
from both the Bulldogs and Ohio
State to remove it.
Big Ten Champs
But one of Michigan's swimming
titles did not pass into other hands
this year, and for the fourth consecu-
tive season the Wolverines captured
the Big Ten championship. Ohio
State made a strong challenge, but
the Mannmen won the final relay
and the meet, 54-50. The nine dual
meet triumphs of the natators were
racked up at the expense of Am-
herst, Olneyville, Ohio State-twice,
Northwestern, Purdue, Iowa, Michi-
gan State and Minnesota, and all of
them by decisive margins.
Coach Mann expects to have a
better squad next year, losing only,
five men and having a better-than-
average group of freshmen to draw
from. But Ohio State will also be
srengthened by the addition of a
promising yearling crew, and it looks
like the Wolverines will have a real
battle on their hands to retain their
Western Conference laurels.
Five Men Lost
The five men lost by graduation
are Capt. Dobby Burton, the Share-
met brothers-Gus and John, Dick
Riedl and Strother (T-Bone) Mar-
tin. The freshmen expected to add
power and speed to next season's
crew are backstroker Harry Holiday,
ice Departing
irsity Swim Team
Einbinder, freestylers Mert Church,
Ace Cory and Chuck Fries. and divers
Bill Chickering and Brud Lary.
Besides this, the Michigan skipper
will still have freestylers Jack Pat-
ten, Walt Stewart, Lou Kivi, Bob
West and Bruce Allen, breaststroker
Jim Skinner, and divers Alex Canja
Iand Lou Haughey. Both Patten and
Skinner are dual titleholders, having
captured the 220 freestyle and 200-
yard breaststroke championships re-
spectively in the Big Ten and Na-
tional Collegiate meets.

Spartan Nine
P lays Varsity
HereApril 28
By MYRON DANN
Sideline Chatter: The Michigan
State baseball team, which the Wol-
verines meet in Ann Arbor April 28,
has just completed its annual South-
ern trip with a .500 percentage . . .
Wy Davis, Spartan left fielder, es-
tablished himself as the leading slug-
ger of the team by his consistent
heavy hitting against the Southern
teams.
Coach Fritz Mackey is having more
than his share of trouble trying to
rebuild the Ohio State nine . . . He
has seven returning lettermen but
they all are either pitchers or out-
fielders . . . As yet very few infield
candidates have reported.
Iowa, the team that is said to have
the best chance of taking the Big
Ten crown from Michigan, opened
their season with an impressive 14-0
victory over Luther . . . The Hawk-
eyes were paced by the very impres-
sive six-hit pitching of Bob Faber
and Wendell Hill.
Illini coach Wally Roettger took
his boys down to the Jefferson Bar-
racks for two games with the leading
teams of the Army camp ... The Re-
ception Center team took an easy
9-5 victory from Illinois in the opener
but the Orange and Blue gave the
Barracks nine a 15-6 pounding in the
finale. In this last game Paul Milo-
sevich, fence-busting shortstop for
the Illini, helped himself to a pair of
home runs.. . Coach of the victorious
Reception center squad is ex-Yankee
first baseman Johnny Sturm.
GeorgetHarms, Wolverine captain,
is going to give up piano playing for
a while ... Dixie, who is breaking in
a new catcher's mitt, seems to be
getting far too many bruised and
sprained fingers . . . George says,

give in, and I think it will be the
