THE MTCHICA1~i IVA'TTV z-. j.~ .u. .m~a - rL £U ,' lIIXDU I Michigan, Romulus Air Base Quintets Clash Here T4 mnight Ytl, f .... ii, The Cracker Barrel By Mike Dan . Swan Song . .. USUALLY when Daily Sports writ- ers type out their last columns they talk about three main subjects: first, how they enjoyed being with the team hither, thither and yon; second, how being connected in a small way with the various Varsity squads has taught them a new sense of sportsmanship and fair play, and lastly how their own ability as a sports writer has increased since they were permitted to hold a senior job on The Daily. Somehow or other I can't say any of these things. The only reason I really enjoyed taking trips with the team was be- cause: I like trains; I like to eat in the diners; I enjoy meeting new faces (especially girls) and because I wanted to get out of Ann Arbor for a while. AS FOR learning a new sense of sportsmanship and fair play I can't seem to see any difference be- tween the way an athlete acts and the way the average student acts. People are always telling me'how much sports can do for a boy's char- Acter. Personally, sports have nothing to do with character. If you're good you play; if you are not you write sports, or sit in the stands. Finally my writing has not be- come any better. I still can't spell. .11 know four adjectives, at, two parts of speech and every morning when I get up, my roommate asks me, "couldn't you find anything better to write about?" OW don't get me wrong, Charlie. (Charlie's probably the only guy till reading this) I'm not a cynic. It's just that I think sports aren't too Tnportant these days. I can't see sports writers calling the present crop of athletes "greats or bests" when lialf their competition is in uniform. Nor can I see any reason for keeping sports on the huge scale that is con- templated. SUPPOSE this last column bus- iness permits me to give some advice (like the last gurgle of a dy- ing swan). So, next time you pick up your newspaper read the front page first, the editorial page next, then the sport page and funnies. Sports nowadays should be treat- ed as a luxury, hence my saying "read the front page first" means business before pleasure-to coin a phrase. NOW I want to say something about The Daily's problems that are now being so prominently aired. People (but I won't say who) don't want The Daily to print certain things that concern the University. They take the same attitude that my moth- er takes when I talk about my Uncle Hubert, who's been married five times. The only real difference is that my Uncle Hubert is personal bus- iness but what The Daily Editors print is vital to the student body. Between you and me, though, don't think The Daily couldn't write a lot of stuff like the Uncle Hubert bus- iness if they wanted to. That reminds me, do you know.. . Never mind Prof. G. E. Densmore, Chairman of the Board of Control of Student Publications just came into the building. * * * IN CLOSING may I say the past four years on The Daily have been the happiest I have ever experi- enced. Not necessarily because of the work, but because of the people I have worked with. I hope the day is not too far off when I can say a Michigan win over Minnesota is the biggest thing on my mind. Good Bye and Thank You Myron Dann Bucks to Bring Collegiate, AAU Diving Champs Anderson, Dempsey Conceded Win over Michigan's Divers By JOE McHALE Those swimming fans who are lucky enough to squeeze themselves into the Natatorium of the Sports Build- ing this Saturday night will see as good an exhibition of diving as has ever been reflected in the waters of the pool. For representing Ohio State will be the two best performers in diving today. These two are Miller Anderson and Frank Dempsey and between them are held the three biggest diving titles in the country. Dempsey is Big Ten and National Intercollegiate cham- pion and Anderson,-only a sophomore, already holds the National AAU crown. Last year the Buckeyes had a div- ing duo that fully lived up to the tra- dition of perennial Ohio State domi- nation in ths event. Dempsey and Charlie Batterman finished one-two in the Conference meet. They had succeeded, the great former Bucks, Al Patnik and Earl Clark, on the pin- nacle of collegiate diving. And both would be back again this year. Thus it was that Coach Mike Peppe was expected to be without any diving worries for this year. Then on top of these two was placed Anderson, who as a freshman earned a berth on the AAU All-American team in the low board event. That shoved Batterman out of action in dual meets for only two may be entered by a team in each event. On any other team in the coun- try he would be welcomed with jubi- lance. At Ohio State, however, Charlie will just have to watch the other two take the glory in dual meets. Anderson has been called by Demp- Faces the Best ALEX CANJA . . . Matt Mann's number one diver, who will face Buckeye aces Miller Anderson and Frank Demp- sey this Saturday. sey and Peppe "even better than Al (Patnik) and Earl (Clark) ." Michigan will enter Alex Canja and Lou Haughey. Alex is still improving over last year and will, according to Matt Mann, give whoever wins second place a real battle. But he isn't as finished a diver as either Dempsey or Anderson. Haughey was a high school flash for Battle Creek but he showed at the Michigan AAU's last week that, even when he is 'hot,' he isn't quite as good as Canja. So, even this usually optimistic Matt concedes that the Bucks will pick up eight big points in this event. Wings, Bruins Clash DETROIT, Jan. 20.- ()- The De- troit Red Wings will attempt to crack the five-game winning streak of the front running Boston Bruins tomor- row night at Olympia in a National Hockey League. game. Boston has a 3%/2 game margin over the second place Red Wings, but has played three more games. 345th Fliers to Bring Fast, Short Squad Wolverines Trying for Third Straight Victory over Service Teams By CLARK BAKER The Army gets another crack at Michigan's cagers tonight at 7:30 when the 345th Army Air Base Squa- dron five will attempt to break the Wolverines' jinx over service teams at Yost Field House. To date the Maize and Blue have played and won two service contests, both against Selfridge Field's Fliers. The 345th lads have also tangled with the Selfridge outfit, but they didn't fare so well, bowing, 40-30. On these comparative scores, Michigan will be favored to cop tonight's fracas. However, the Maize and Blue have- n't forgotten what a fight the Self- ridge Fielders gave them in their initial encounter. Only a last second basket salvaged the game. Moreover, the Wolverines have been alternately hot and cold and an off night tonight would cost them victory No. 7 for the season. Fliers Lack Height The Airmen will be conceding a big height advantage to the Maize and Blue tonight. Tallest man on the visitors' quintet is six-footer Louis Kundigen who will hold down one of their guard spots. Leading the Fli- ers into action will be the diminutive but dangerous Hubert Gilman, cap- tain and starting forward. The other three berths will be filled by center Bob Garvin, forward Jack Morris and guard Jim Gilbert. Michigan's lineup will be the same which opened last week against Wis- consin. Big Jim Mandler, Wolverine captain and scoringleader with 81 tallies for nine games, will again be at his familiar pivot spot. Jim's six feet-four should be a big factor for the Maize and Blue tonight. Doyle, Strack at Guards leeo Doyle, who has been hitting the strings pretty regularly in Conference games for the Wolverines, will hold down one of the guard posts with Dave Strack Maize and Blue long shot artist, pitching them' from the other guard spot. At the forwards Coach Bennie Oos- terbaan will have Gerry Mullaney, whose work under the baskets has been a bright spot in the Wolverine offense, and Mel Comin, who carved a niche in the hearts of Maize and Blue fans with his fighting play against Wisconsin last week. For reserves Bennie can call on Bob Wiese, Don Lund, Ralph Gibert, Merv Pregulman, Harold Anderson and Bill MacConnachie. By DES HOWARTH Few are the times when a team gets beaten and enjoys it, but for the Michigan wrestlers, Monday night's defeat by Michigan State came so close to being a win that the grapplers were actually happy. Reasons for this jubilance lie in the facts that State was runner-up in the National Collegiates last year, that they had three NCAA titlists on their roster, and that they were favored to, wipe the mats with the Wolverine warriors both figuratively and literal- ly. Add to this that Capt. Manley Johnson, Michigan's sole claim to a national title, became ill and couldn't wrestle. Kopel Gets Lead Dick Kopel started double-crossing the dope bucket by disposing of a mighty tough customer in one Herb Thompson. Kopel actually pinned Mr. Thompson, but the officials ruled that the match had ended before the latter's shoulders touched the mat. Merle Jennings then disposed of Bob McDonald as was expected of the National titlist, but considering Mc- Donald was making his grappling de- but he made a creditable showing. Brother Burl Jennings, also a Nation- al titlist, just recovered from an ap- pendectomy, gained an early advan- tage on Harold Rudel, but Rudel staged a great comeback against the tiring champ. Not knowing he would have to wrestle until the eleventh hour, and then having to shed several pounds, which didn't help his condition, George McIntyre subbed for the ail- ing Johnson and was finally pinned by the Spartans' third title-holder, Bill Maxwell. Sophomores Surprise A 13air of surprising sophomores up- set the State plans further by turning back their Green clad foes in neat fashion. PeterSpeek had his oppo- nent's back on the canvas all eve- ning, but he was unable to deliver that final cou fini, while Bob Allen laid Burl Boring prone and pinned him for the Wolverines' only five point victory. Tom Mueller, as instructed, played cautiously and stayed away fromh his more experienced opponent in the hopes that Johnny Green would pin the giant, Mike Dendrinos, in the final match to give Michigan a tie. Mueller subsequently lost, and al- though Green rode Dendrinos like a bronco, Johnny had to be content with a decision victory. Saturday afternoon the Wolverines will seek their first Big Ten victory when they play host to Ohio State's wrestling team.
