FEBRUARY: 2 21942 THE MICHIGAN DAILY PAGE THREE Magnificent Yale Crew Makes Swimming History--59-16 Frosh Track Squad Boasts Several Stars Hume Boys Are Best Bets To Make Ken Doherty's 1943 Varsity Squad By ED ZALENSKI Examinations, the ever-present bogey of all athletes, are over and this year's freshman track squad came through with only a few casu- alties, no doubt pleasant news to frosh track coach, Chester Stack- house, after some of the severe jolts he has experienced in past seasons. So, from now until the middle of March it will be hard work and sweat for the ambitious trackmen. And the lads who show promise will be rewarded in April with indoor numerals. Less than half of the 75 frosh thinclads who are working out regularly will hit the jackpot for a blue running shirt adorned with the maize of "1945." Hume Twins Good Without doubt "Stack's" best bets for varsity berths next season are the twin torpedoes from Cannonsburg, Pa., Bob and Ross Hume. Of identical ability, the Hume twins are above average prospects. Both can run the mile and half-mile races equally well. Recently, they were shifted from their usual event into the distance run by the other twin, and both broke records set by the other. Eight other hopefuls constitute the distance-running group of the squad. Besides the Humes, there is Art Upton, Bill Wheatley, Roy Wat- 'TRACK BULLETIN Competing in freshman time trials at the Field house yester- day, Elmer Swanson, 190-pound timber-topper from Detroit, tied Chuck Pinney's 1940 frosh record of 7.5 in the 65-yard low hurdles. son, John Smart, Art Mancl and El- mer Born in the mile and 880-yard run, and Roy Currie and Desmond Howarth in the tough two-mile grind. Quarter-Mile Improving There is no outstanding quarter- miler on the squad, all the runners being of equal ability. The boys who are still showing improvement are Ralph Gibson, Ernie Whi.tlock, Paul Harsha, Bob Walker, Bill Osgood and Wheatley. Harsha can be classed with the Hume twins as fine varsity material. The sprinters are average. Besides Joe Egan, who compete in the broad and high jump, there is Bob Becker, Stuart Hines and Walker. When "Stack" begins talking about his hurdling prospects his face lights up. And why not? He has three out- standing timber-toppers in 190- pound Elmer Swanson, rangy Russ Reeder and Bill Osgood, brother of a former Michigan hurdling ]ping. All three compete in both low and high hurdles. Weak In Field Events The squad is weak in the field events. Up to date there have been no shot putters worth mentioning. Only two have shown promise in the pole vault, Truman Atkinson and Ken Fryer, and in the high jump. Egan and Lyman look. Five broad jumpers who consistently jump bet- ter than 20 feet are Osgood, Harsha, Egan, Becker and Wilbur Hahn. I-M Directors Change Plans Athletes Urged To Place Entries Immediately By BART JENKS If you hear moaning down at the I-M Building these days it isn't be- cause you have had one too many. Just conceive having to hand in a half-dozen term papers at once and you have a reasonable idea of what I-M Director Earl Riskey and right hand man Verne Sprague feel like. Up until three weeks ago every- thing was, fine. Tournaments were being run off according to schedule and new ones were soon to get un- derway. Then it happened. Twelve thousand students and Messrs Riskey and Sprague were stunned: Exam dates changed. Along with the rest the Riskey and Sprague duo made a dive of the headache pills. Then down to the I-M Building to be- gin repairing the dariage wrought. Schedules had to be changed and prospective entrants in the coming tourneys had to be informed of the change. Open House day, March 18, is less than a month away and on that date the finals in six all-campus events take place. This doesn't leave much time in which to run them off. If Elis Set World Mark In 400-Yard Relay, Establish Two Pool Records * * * * * (Continued from Page 1) freestyle ever recorded in the Michi- gan natatorium. Propelling his way through the water with smooth, pow- erful strokes, the impregnable Eli leader lowered the pool record to 2:09.7, just one-tenth of a second slower than the established American mark and six-tenths better than the former pool standard. Close behind Johnson came Rene Chouteau, who churned the distance in 2:11 while Maize and Blue ace Johnny Patten had to be satisfied with the third place his 2:11.9 netted him. Patten In Relay But not until the last event of the night did the biggest thrill and the most spectacular Bulldog perform- ance come. Matt Mann, realizing that his only hope of keeping the score down was to withhold Patten from the 440 yard freestyle and use him in the 400 yard freestyle relay, sent his strongest array of sprinters into the closing relay, to battle the record- HOCKEY RESULTS After holding Colorado College to a 2-2 tie going into the third period Friday night, the Wolver- ine puck team's defense fell apart and the Tigers went on to win 6-2. Last night the Tigers made it two in a row by whipping the Wol- verines, 10-2. smashing Elis for the seven points awarded the winner. Ordinarily Mann's strategy would have worked. The Michigan quartet lopped 7.2 seconds off their best pre- vious time to finish in 3:29.4, but it wasn't good enough. Coach Bob Kiphuth of Yale had entered his greatest strength, his famed freestyle relayers, in that clos- ing race and they outbid the Wol- verines for victory to break the world's record they had set last year by one-tenth of a second, blasting through the waters in the phenom- enal time of 3:27.7. Eli's Break Record The record-breaking Eli quartet was composed of Frank Lilley (53.5), Dick Kelly (51), Ed Pope (52) and Johnson (51). The Michigan crew of Capt. Dobby Burton (53), Lou Kivi (52.6), Patten (52), and Gus Share- met (51.8), gave their all - but the. might of the Elis was too much for even the desperate Wolverines. Although the miraculous Bulldogs took everything but the diving board back to New Haven, they must share some of their glorious victory spoils with Michigan's Gus Sharemet. Swimming against Johnson and Pope in the 100 yard freestyle, Share- met was facing the two best men in the nation on the basis of season's clockings. Until the last turn he was in the lead. But he couldn't match Johnson's closing sprint, and when it was all over he and Pope were tied for second in 52.2, while John- son was pressed to 51.8 for his vic- tory. Honors in the fancy diving contest went to Jim Cook of Yale with 430.2 points. Maize and Blue ace T-Bone Hawkeyes Beat Varsity Quitet At Iowa, 59-38 Big Jun Mandler Scores 10 Points As Combined Teams Use 25 Players (Continued fror4 Page 1) Iowa's towering center, Milt Kuhl, to but four points, and reserve Dick Hein to five. Soderquist took scoring honors with 15 points while Siegel and Tommy Chapman, leader of the Hawkeye scorers all season, connected for ten apiece. Mandler, despite his early exit, led Michigan with ten. The victory was Iowa's seventh in 11 starts and the Wolverines ninth defeat of the year. No. 10 For Illini CHAMPAIGN, Ill.. Feb. 21.-()-1 Illinois moved within two victories of clinching a title tie in the Big Ten basketball race tonight by stopping Ohio State. 48-31. It was the Illini's 10th triumph in 11 conference games and they have four yet to play, while holding a two-game edge over their nearest pursuer, Indiana. The Buckeyes, playing without their star guard, Max Gecowets, gave the leaders a terrific battle through- out the first half, trailing only 22-18 at the intermission. Ohio State closed the gap to 26-24 early in the second half but then the Illini held the visitors scoreless for 7% minutes while shooting ahead to a 38-24 lead. With six minutes left Coach Douglas Mills sent in the reserves. Fred Fisher, Buckeye forward, was the game's high scorer with 16 points. He made five field goals in the first half to keep his team in the running up to the intermission and for a few minutes thereafter. Ken Menke bagged 12 points to pace the Illini. Badgers Hot MADISON, Wis., Feb. 21.-()- Wisconsin retained a first division berth in the Big Ten Conference bas- ketball race by trouncing Northwest- ern, 59 to 47, in a rough, free scoring game tonight before 13,100 specta- tors. Both teams opened fast, but the Badgers outlasted the Wildcats to take a 34 to 30 advantage at half time. Northwestern wiped out this deficit and took a four point lead early in the second half. With the Wisconsin forward line faltering, guards Ed Scheiwe and Fred Rehm took over and added 10 points to the Badger total, Scheiwe getting three baskets, Rhem two. The game was stopped several times when fans protested decisions. GOLF LESSONS Free golf lessons for men will be offered between 3:30 and 4 p.m. in the I-M Building Monday through Thursday.

A future GUS SHAREMET Martin gave the Eli star a nip and tuck battle before finally succumb- ing to the Bulldog's superior form with a 397.5 tally. Not until the eighth dive did Cook forge into the lead. Sandy Thompson edged Wolverine Lou Haughey for third place by one-tenth of a point, scor- ing a total of 341.7 markers. Michigan's only individual title- holder, Jim Skinner, met his match in Yale's breaststroke star, Johnny Meyer. The Eli butterflyed his way to the best time of his life, 2:24.7, to beat the Maize and Blue junior by a scant two yards in the 200 yard breaststroke event. Jack Pulleyn of Yale likewise re- corded the fastest race of his career to barely beat teammate Dick Kelly and Michigan Captain Burton in the 50 yard freestyle, finishing with a 23.4 to his credit. And Wolverine Dick Reidl, in one of the closest races of the night, had to be content with second place to Dannenbaum as the VARSITY, FRESHMAN GOLF Varsity and freshman golfers report to the I-M golf nets any afternoon /this week. Ray Courtright, Golf Coach latter also racked up his best time to date, 1:37.3, to win the 150 yard backstroke. With Patten not en- tered, Rene Chouteau, brilliant Yale distance star, won the 440 in 4:53.1, with Walt Stewart of Michigan press- ing him all the way. The Michigan crew fought with everything it had, but it was facing a team which has never been matched. Matt Mann echoed the views of his aggregation when he said, "If it had to be, im glad it was against a truly great Yale team." And that Yale is, the greatest the world has ever known. b.
