350 Met
Tennis Squad
To h ave Fimial
Cut ij Weeks
Faced with the necessity of getting
a squad picked and in condition for
its first match against Michigan
State April 24, Michigan's tennis
coach, Leroy Weir, is planning to
make the final cut of his squad this
week.
Amount of practice space and the
supply of balls available will be the
main factors in determining the
number of players to be carried.
Now limited to two and sometimes
three courts for three times a week,
none of the 24 players still out get
sufficient practice.
Coach Weir, however, hopes to
carry at least 15, and perhaps 20
players. Two of his top'-rankingI
netters, Captain Jinx Johnson and
Jerry Gurman, face an early draft
call. Johnson is in lA and Gurman
has already taken his blood test.
Both have looked especially good
this year, promising to ease the loss
of .five of last year's regulars.
Fred Wellington and Roger Lewis
are two others who will make things.
interesting for Wolverine opponents.
Wellington, playing a practice match
against Jim Porter, last season's
number two man, has shown some-
thing close to mid-season form. He
is the other letterman holdover from
last season.
11ess Str wi s Ross
NEW YORK, March 15.-(/P)-_-
Corporal Barney Ross, hero of the
Marine Corps at Guadalcanal, was
taken to the U.S. Navy Hospital at
St. Albans, Long Island, early to-
night suffering a recurrence of ma-
larial fever which he contracted in
the war zone.
The Navy Public Relations Office
said that the former boxer's condi-
tion was not serious, but was unable
to say how long Ross would remain
in the hospital.

Sick Boy Feels Kuzma Can Win War

11y IIENRY MANTH0
Spunky, ten-year-old Jackie Fris-.
bee, who has patiently undergone
numerous operations at the Univer-
sity Hospital with a cheerful grin,
thinks that this war will be over "just
as soon as Tommie Kuzma gets in."
Jackie entered the hospital some
time ago when he was accidently shot
in the left cheek while playing with
his pal. The bullet' lodged in his
cheek and as a result doctors have
been forced to graft until his cheek
healed.
But that will be another year, orl
possibly two, doctors say.

Meanwhile, Jackie isn't kicking,
because he can't go out and play like
the rest of the kids he knows. He's
going to wait until he's better "so I
can play football."
His idol, says Jackie, is Tommie
Kuzma, but he will settle for Julie
Franks, the guard from Hamtramck.
Says Jackie, ,Do you think maybe
Tommie will come and see me some-
time, if I write him a letter?"
Jackie has already sent a letter to
Kuzma telling him where he can be
found, and now he hopes that Franks
will also come to see him.

"I'll bet those Japs will be sorry
they started this war when Tommie
gets in there against them," he said.
His ambition-to watch Kuzma in
action on the gridiron. Jackie thinks
Kuzma is "the greatest football play-
er in the world." And Franks comes
next on Jackie's all-star team.
It would be the thrill of b, lifetime
to Jackie, if both "the greatest foot-
ball player in the world" and Franks
would visit him. Jackie can be found
in the west wing of the third-floor
ward at the hospital.

rTAKING jiTrEASY

By ED ZALENSKI
Daily Sports Editor
* * * *

A Siot in the A rn
MICHIGAN may have a football
team next fall after all, even
though Coach Fritz Crisler will lose
nearly every member of his 1942
Varsity squad via the draft, Air
Corps, Navy, ERC or Marines. And
it may be the Navy that will relieve
his headache.
Earlier this month Navy offi-
cials announced that they would
put more than 1,300 men on active
duty here July 1 for a period of
specialized training. These men
may become candidates for Cris-
ler's Wolverine eleven-if they
find the time.
The Navy has declared that men
on its rolls will be allowed to com-
pete on Varsity teams, provided the
participation does not conflict with
their service duties, and they have
sufficient time to do so. And that

CIA SSIFIED ADVEnTISIN4

time factor may be Crisler's big bug-
aboo . .
IT'S GOODBYE AGAIN: The
Daily's assistant sports editor of
last semester, Mike Dann, bids
farewell to Ann Arbor, its students
and good tithes today. From now
on it will be Private Dann, Camp
Grant, Ill. And Mike wants to bid
a last goodbye to the friends he
made here. Believe it or not, Mike
spent hours daily during the past
month in PEM classes in an effort
to toughen up for his debut inl
Uncle Sam's Army .. ,
RUNNING MACHINE: Last Sat-
urday night we listened to Ted Hus-
ing describe Greg Rice's triumph in
the two-mile run at the Knights of
Columbus Games in Madison Square
Garden. Greg won in 8:52.7, just 1.6
seconds off his own world record,
after lapping the entire field of nine
men.
What is amazing is the ma-
chine-like manner in which Rice.
chopped off the various quarter-
miles of the race. He was 0:67.1
at the 440, 2:13.5 at the 880, 3:20.5
at the three-quarter mark, 4:27.6
at the mile, 5:34,8 at 11/. miles,
6:42.3 at 12 miles, 7:49.7 at 134
miles, and added a 63-second
quarter on the end ...
DID YOU KNOW?:. On July 4,
1928, when Ken Doherty, now Mich-
igan track coach, won the decathlon
trial for the U.S. Olympic team he
weighed 163 pounds at the start of
competition and 150 when he fin-
ished. He placed third in the finals.
Dick Walterhouse, Michigan
freshman from Ann Arbor, won
frosh numerals in both football
and basketball. And now that
first-year men are eligible for
Varsity competition in the Big
Ten, he looks like an outstanding
candidate for the Wolverine nine,
Conference champion for the past
two years. Walterh'ouse is a
catcher.
ANOTHER TROPHY: Bob Ufer
picked up a little trinket at New
York Saturday night for winning the
Casey 600-yard run in 1:11.4, second
fastest time for the distance in the
East this season. And the trinket
was a trophy that, in the words of
Coach Doherty, was big enough to
hold "five gallons of skimmed milk."

15 Swimmers

Mann's University of Michigan
swimming team which placed second

Program To Be
Same as That
Of 'M' Students
IM Building To Serve
As Center for Shifts
Working Out Daily
By SHERWOOD KATZ
Michigan's strenuous PEM course
has been approved by Army officials
and will be used to train the 350
men of the Meteorology Group who
arrived this week.
The soldiers will be given the same
treatment that is given to the stu-
dents here to strengthen their bodies
for the rigors of war. They will
train at the Intramural Building and
will take their PEM training three
times a week. The shifts will be
split up and some of the boys will be
at the gym daily in order to facili-
tate matters for the directors of the
IM Building.
The sergeant in charge of these
men is the well-known "Frosty" Pet-
ers, who was a star halfback at the
University of Illinois some years
ago. Sergeant Peters told the men
during their first drill today that the
minute one of the PEM instructors
steps in front of themfor their exer-
cises, he is in full charge of them,
and they are to obey his orders im-
mediately.
Riskey in Charge
Earl Riskey, director of the IM
Building, is in charge of this physi-
cal hardening program for the Mete-
orology cadets. Everything that is
done during these drills is strictly
under the regulations of the Army.
The cadets are to march into the IM
Building in formation, then to pro-
ceed to the dressing rooms in this
same order and from there to the
gym floor. After the drill is over
the cadets are to march again in
military order to the lockers and
then back to their quarters.
Many of the instructors were im-
pressed by the way the cadets re-
spond to the various commands giv-
en to them and many of them felt
that it would be quite a pleasant ex-
perience to teach these boys the
fundamentals of our PEM system.
Staff Members Hope for Success
It is hoped by the heads of the
PEM staff that the Meteorology Ca-
dets will respond to the system of
PEM in the same successful manner
as have Michigan students.
The PEM program that Michigan
men have been undergoing, is the
regular training program as set up
by the Army manual, which is the
reason that the Meteorology stu-
dents have been given approval to
take the course. With the abun-
dance of physical education instruc-
tors at the University, it is an admir-
able setup for any group, and the
plan to give the soldiers the benefit
of PEM instruction by our instruc-
tors has been heartily endorsed by
Herbert "Fritz" Crisler, Director of
Athletics.
The cadets were shown around the
IM Building yesterday, ajd were
noticeably impressed by th modern
equipment, and excellent facilities
afforded by the IM Building, and
also by the large numbers of instruc-
tors who will be giving them their
training.
term will be held Saturday, March 20,
2:00-4:00 p.m., at the Katherine Pckrill
House, 328 East Huron. All are welcome
to attend.

Continuous Daily
from 1 P.M.

When "Blazing" Bob Ufer won the
Casey 600-yard run Saturday night
in Madison Square Garden his win-
ning time of 1:11.4 was the second
best winning time turned in for that
distance in the East this season.
And why was it the slowest time
turned in since the event was added
to the Knights of Columbus track
meet? Jimmy Herbert won it first
in 1:11.3. The late Johnny Borican

medley team which finished fourth.
Glas ran the opening quarter in :50.7
as compared to the :51.2 clocking in
the 440. Jim Sears and Jack Martin
ran 220's and Art Upton finished up
with an 880 in 1:59. Notre Dame
beat them in the last five yards.
Sprinter Len Alkon pulled a leg:
muscle during the 70-yard cash and
still managed to grab a third place.
The first three men were just inches
apart. The injury will keep him out
for the remainder of the indoor sea-
son.
The open mile saw Bob Hume
place third just two yards behind
Michigan State's Bill Scott, in 4:23.5
while teammate Ernie Leonardi was
fourth in 4:23.9. Ollie Hunter's win-
ning time was 4:20.8.

took it in 1941 and 1942 in 1:10.8
and 1:10.2,, respectively. That last
clocking is the world record equalled
by Georgetown's Hugh Short in
beating Ufer at the Millrose Games.
The fact that second-place Fred
Sickinger was seven yards behind
didn't help the Michigan's National
and Conference champion at 440
yards to pour it on.
Ufer Paced Two-Mile Victory
It was Ufer who was largely re-
sponsible for the two-mile relay
team's victory over Fordham. Ross
Hume, John Roxborough, and Cap-
tain Dave Matthews ran well, but
the Wolverines were right with the
field when "Hose Nose" grabbed the
baton. Bob trailed until the final
two laps before taking the lead and
breezing home.
The rest of Coach Ken Doherty's
Varsity squad, minus George Ostroot
and injured Bud Byerly, surprised
even itself by taking third place at
Chicago in the University class of
theTech Relays behind Notre Dame
and Illinois.
