w ~ THE MICHiGAN DAILY PAGE ToIi day Breaks World's Record In 100-Yard Backstroke Quintet Meets Marquette Tonight Marquette Sniper Wiese, Star of First Tilt, to Be Starter Invding Hilitoppers, Winners Last Year, Boast Veteran Team BBOB SHOPOFF Michigan's quintet will face its sec- ond opponent of the new season at 7:30 tonight when the Hilitoppers of Marquette take the floor at the Yost Field House. The battle shapes up as one of the best tilts of the Wolverine season as Marquette boasts of an all- veteran squad with speed to spare. Against this veteran five, Coach Bennie Oosterbaan will start three sophomores and two senior lettermen. Bob Wiese has been elevated to the starting five because of his play against Michigan State last week and will round out the trio of sophs. Wiese Will Start ' ,Wiese will be at forward along with $larold Anderson, whose offensive play won him the starting nod. The ether sophomore will be Dave Strack at guard, who showed much spirit and pep last week throughout the entire battle. His play helped bring the Wol- verines victory as he was one of the few Michigan players to control the ball off the backboard. Capt. Jim Mandler will be at his bld position of center and Leo Doyle will start at guard to complete the Michigan lineup. Ralph Gibert, who is jtattling with Anderson for the start- ksg forward spot, will probably be a~e of the early replacements. lisitors Are Seasoned This lineup will pit an inexper- iexced five with plenty of fire and helght against the fast veteran Hill- toppers. The Michigan squad, which is one of the~ tallest in years, will average six feet, three inches,. which tops the Marquette quintet by three inches. Tonight's invasion of Coach Bill TRIPLE-THREAT TRACKMAN: 'Crack at Axis Powers' Lures McCarthy from Varsity Track Unofficial Mark Is Set Before Laig&e Crowd at Swim Fiesta Betters Time Set by Kiefer; Jim Skinner Shares Spotlight by Tyiing National Record Varsity, Frosh Matmen Clash This Afternoon By ERIC ZALENSKI Cut off 14 points from Michigan's total in any of last season's dual meets and you will have a fair idea of what the loss of Frank McCarthy, triple-threat track ace of the Wol- verines, means to the 1943 squad. McCarthy, who is regarded as Michigan's most outstanding all- around athlete since the days of Bill Watson, is sailing on a forced scho- lastic draft of 21 hours this term with intentions of graduating in Jan- uary. So, he decided to pass up his final year of compettion. Losis Will Be Felt Asked why he decided to forego the chance to have one more fling with Coach Ken Doherty's Maize and Blue thinclads, McCarthy decided that he "wanted to get in the war to take a crack at the Axis Powers." He is in the United States Army Enlisted Re- serve and expects to be called imme- diately upon receiving his diploma next znohth. The loss of McCarthy who had spe- cialized in the running high jump, broad jump and the 'high hurdles, will be hard to replace, but Coach Doherty made no effort to change his mind. "I'm sorry to see Frank leave the scquad because I had counted a lot on him, but the Army has first call on him," Doherty stated. A little ray of hope is the rapid de- velopment of burly Elmer Swanson, sophomore timber-topper, who should be able to tie McCarthy's best time of 8.3 seconds in the 65-yard high hur- dles during the coming indoor cam- paign. One-Man Track Team Michigan may also come through with a fair replacement in the high jump as Bill Dale, a second-term freshman, will be eligible for Varsity competition in February. Dale jumped 6 ft. 3 in. in high school. McCarthy reached the peak of his career last year during the indoor season by amassing 14 points in dual meets with both Notre Dame and Pittsburgh. Against the Irish, he took a first in the high hurdles and broad jump and tied for first in the high jump. In the Pitt meet, he took firsts in the high hurdles, high jump, a second in the broad jump and a third in the low hurdles. Although the intervention of the war makes it impossible to fulfill, McCarthy's aim had been the decath- lon in the 1944 Olympics, especially since he won the title at Cranbrook Prep School. Chandler's squad marks the first time that a Marquette team has appeared in Ann Arbor for over a decade. How- ever, the two schools met last year with the Hilltoi.pers downing the Varsity, 49 t6 42, and it will be this defeat which the Maize and Blue will be gunning -to erase. 'MVarquette's opening team will see Eririest Kivisto and Al Skat at for- wards, rangy flay Kuffel at the pivot- post, and Burton Bril and Jerry Schudrowitz at guards. All these men sawv action in last year's meeting. Kuffel was the high scorer during the 1941-42 campaign of Coach Chandler's team and has been the spearhead of the Marquette attack, which has brought Chandler two vic- tories in three tilts. The only loss suffered was at the hands of a pow- erful Wisconsin team. Kuffel and Mandler should provide the Wolverine fans with the best indi-. vidual battles of the season as big Jim paced the Varsity in scoring last year. Kivisto also is one of the Marquette offensive threats because of his de- ceptive dribbling and speed-. AL SKAT . .. a flashy Marquette forward with a deadly eye for the long ones positions withe othe hih-cong Ernie Kivisto. He's a seasoned vet- e ran. By BUD H ENDEL Daily Sports Editor THE MOST human story behind sports war bond drives comes from where you might expect,- a small country club. This particular country club is near Louisville, Ky. The story was brought to light when Earl Ruby, sports editor of the Louisville Courier- Journal, wrote it for national Sports- for-Victory campaign. We'll repeat it to you as best we can, and our only comment is, buy your share of stamps and bonds. Three members of an old golfing foursome were seated in the locker room. They had just completed their usual Saturday round, their twelfth since the war had called their fourth member to duty. "War bond rally tonight," re- marked No. 1 as he pulled on a sock. "You going?" "Don't think so," said No. 2. "Wife's planning a ride out in the country. Anyway, I can't afford to draw any money out of the business for bonds right now." No. 3 placed his highball on the floor and pulled on his pants. "What would I be doing at a war bond rally? My car business is shot and I'm looking for a way to keep my family together." No. 1 started to tie his Windsor knot. "Don't know but what we'd all be better off with a commission like Ed," he drawled. "There he is in Ireland, a morale officer, teach- ing soldiers how to play golf and softball. His wife's running his bus- iness for him, and he doesn't have a worry." Just then a porter ambled into the room. "Here's a postcard for you gentlemen," he droned. No. 1 took a quick glance. '"Hey, it's from Ed! A postcard from our lieu- tenant, the old rascal. Look, a picture Gol CofcursNorther Ireland' he read. "Well, here's wvhat he has to say:" A blonde. Jft.5 in. gant from Butler, Pa., Harry Holiday, Michi- gan's sensational sophomore swim- ming star, jumped into the national limelight last night when he unoffi- cialkr smashed Adolf Kiefer's world record in the 100-yard backstroke before an overflow crowd at the Sports Building's Swim Gala. Weighing over 200 pounds, the swimming squad, cut his wa y through the 100-yard distance in the unbe- lievable time of 57 seconds, breaking Adolf Kiefer's record by two-tenths of a second. First Lap of Relay The record-smasher was the first lap of ka riye dey relay race Pat IHays Lew Kivi and Holiday. Fans had an idea that Holiaywasf in rare form because hesate off Sharemet,fporernational ch ampion and Michigan swimmer, in the 50-. yd freetyle. y way of a nightcap, the aquatic giant loafed through another 100- yard backstroke in 58.4 seconds, and paced the winning freestyle relay team. Holiday shared the spotlight last night with a teammate, Jim Skin- ner', national breaststroke titlist. ~Skinner churned his way to a narrow victory over John Sharemet of last year's Michigan team in the 50-yard breaststroke in 28.3 seconds to tie a recently-established world mark. In a thrilling finish Sharemet was only inches behind. This was also iinoffi- Icial. Patten Wins Freestyle The Gala started out with a bang, the first race bringing a photo fin- ish between J. Tobias of University High School and H. Jackson and H'. Skinner of the freshman squad. To- bias finally got the judges' nod in this 50-yard freestyle event. The 150-yard freestyle went to Dick Trytten of University High, who swam the distance in 1 :35.3. How- ever, most of the glory in this race was draped on the shoulders of Cap- tain Jack Patten, national 220-yard freestyle champion, who foamed through the water in the sparkling time of 1 :24.8. PEM boys gave an exhibition of their class work, showing how to swim in burning oil, to perform the various strokes, to carry a rifle, and ad ot e sw i es M1 att M ann sum - learning how to take care of them- selves and someone else." The Varsity heat of the 50-yard freestyle was won by Lew Kivi with a clockingo 24.7 ~seconds. r Ey- breaststroke, but Pat Hayes turned in the best time, 1:42.7. Freshmen Swim Well tBob1 Het aed sthe freshm en i winning time being 59.1 seconds. Winner of the final heat of the 50- yard freestyle was Bob Tyler, fresh- man, who led teammate Bob Hall in 26.2 seconds. .. Comedy reared its head in the div- ing events, interspersed between some Haughey, freshman Gil Evans and Marve Holter. The clowns, B. Holmes and M. Hayes, clad in long underwear and pajamas, treated the crowd to such thrillers as the "Coca-Cola" dive and the "Half Jack-Knife." Another feature was the appearance of a Michigan star of 1957, tiny Peter Fries, wha dived off both high and low boards with the utmost poise. Relay Ends Program A fitting climax was the 200-yard freestyle relay, which saw the Varsity team of Holiday, Chuck Fries, Kivi, and Fatten come within two-tenths of a second of the world's record of 1:34.2. Not one of the persons watching the spectacle went away unsatisfied. --Be A Goodfeilow -- Wistert, Franks on APSeodTa Michigan failed to gaini a place on the 1942 All-America eleven chosen by the Associated Press.

This afternoon's meet will be the first test for the matmen outside of the intra-squad matches and may go a long way in deciding who will represent the Wolverines in the dif- ferent weight classifications. Bob McDonald and Larry Loftus, the squad's most outstanding sopho- mores, will probably be in the 121- and 128-pound classes, respectively, although normally both are 121- pounders. While their freshman op- ponents have not been officially named, it seems likely that McDon- ald will face Lloyd Jewell, and Loftus will take on Bob Reichert. Manly Johnson, at 145 pounds, a star of last year's Varsity, wil be other one of last season's topnotches i n h niied cas bease oh scarcity of heavyweight grapplers among the first-year men. Other probable pairings include Harold Rudel and freshman Bob Roosma, at 140 pounds; George Mic- Intyre and freshman Hugh Wilson at 155, and Stan Clamage and fresh- man Bob Worrell at 165. Tom Muhel. ler, Varsity 175-pounder, will prob- ably face Hugh Mack, while ?ete Speek is likely to represent the up- perclassmen at 160 pounds.
