The hard-working natators im- press the onlooker with the fact that they will be right in the midst of the battle for the crown, Put the odds against their winning the champion- ship are very great. The favored Buckeyes, who an- nexed the Big Ten crown two weeks ago by a narrow margin from Coach Matt Mann's team, have not lost any of their strength, as far as is known., On the contrary, they have gained the services of probably the greatest freestyler of today at 'any distance albove 100 yards, freshman Bill Smith. The Hawaiian flash was named this year to the NAAU All- American team at four positions: the 220, 440, and 880-yard freestyles and the 880-yard relay. The Wolverines, on the other hand, will find their points harder to get than they were in the Conference meet. Especially with Charlie Fries,I stricken with pneumonia just before the Big Tens, back in shape, the Maize and Blue figured to win most of their points in the freestyles. Un-I fortunately, the rest of the countryI is running over with good freestylers, so that Michigan will probably lose some of the first places they landed at Chicago two weeks ago. Also, Jim Skinner, a sure bet to win the breaststroke title for the third straight year, has found that his studies in the medical school dontleave him enough time for swimming, so he will not go to Columbus. Etten's Status Uncertain ASBURY PARK, March 22.-UA)- Nick Etten, whom Manager Joe Mc-' Carthy of the New York Yankees still calls his first baseman, reported today and expressed his fears that he might be returned to Philadelphia Phils. Etten came to the Yankees in a deal involving two players and cash but the athletes acquired by the Phils failed to report. Commissioner K. M. Landis now is studying the situation. O'Dea Signs Contract CAIRO, Ill., March 22.-(/P)-Both good and bad contract news hit the St. Louis Cardinals' spring -training camp today. Catcher Ken O'Dea signed up, but another unsigned con- tract reached the club from Stan Musial, last year's rookie sensation. Bob Wiese, left-handed slugger on the Wolverine baseball squiadi, i expected to be discharged from the Health Service sometime today. Wiese suffered from a lacerated nerve and a beautiful "shiner," when he was hit Saturday afternoon by a line drive off the bat of teammate Dick Walterhouse. His eye was still partially closed yesterday, which ac- counts for the fact that he has not left the Health Service sooner, but Coach Ray Fisher expects that his sophomore star will be practicing again soon. Meanwhile the rest of the squad continued to work out in Yost Field House, preparatory to going outdoors just as soon as the weather permits. The quarters are rather cramped, but the players make the most of it, knowing that the practice they do now will stand them in good stead later on in the season. In addition' to the batters and hurlers practicing in the nets, the infielders are getting their old fielding eye back by warm- ing up around a makeshift diamond in the center of the floor. A sliding pit has also been con- structed and each member of the team has to spend at least ten min- utes a day sliding into the base. O'Neill Names Five Pitchers EVANSVILLE, Ind., March 22- (- Manager Steve O'Neill named five pitchers today as his mound choices for the opening series of the Detroit Tigers' exhibition season next week-end. Hal White, Virgil Trucks and Frank Overmire will face the Chi- cago White Sox in the first game Saturday. Tommy Bridges and Hal Manders were instructed to stand by for Sunday's contest, with a third choice for that game resting between Paul Trout and Hal Newhouser. O'Neill reported keen rivalry for the opening assignments, intensified by word that weather had kept the White Sox from swinging a bat in their training quarters at French Lick, Ind. The Tigers, on the other hand, have been able to work out with a fair degree of regularity. They went through their longest drill of the season today, spending three hours and a half handling bunts, running down base-runners and breaking up attempted steals. A similar rehearsal is set for to- morrow as a prelude to the club's first practice game. -Assoclaltea Press Photo Cornelius Warmerdam clears the bar at a record-breaking height of 15 feet, eight and one-half inches as he set a new world record for the pole vault in the Chicago Relays.

A ) By JACK IMARTIN Michigan's ,two-mile relay remains undefeated. From the Wolverine standpoint this is the outstanding result of the new historic Chicago Relays held in the Windy City last Saturday. Beside the victorious relay per- formance, other Maize and Blue high- lights were: Bob "Hose-Nose" Ufer's second in the fast 600-yard run; Captain Dave Matthews' third in the 1,000-yard race; and Bob Hume's fourth in a star-studded 2-mile run. Johnny Roxborough started things on the right track for the Michigan men in the relay by bringing in a substantial lead, after running a 1:54.6 half. This is Roxie's best time of the year, and was probably the best Wolverine performance of the Chicago meet. Behind at the begin- ning of his leg, he bided his time until just the right moment and then pulled ahead of the field. Roxborough handed the baton to Ufer, who ran a good 1:56.5 half. Ross Hune took it from Ufer, and after a "very fine race," to quote Coach Ken Doherty, turned it over to Captain Matthews together with a three-yard lead. Dave lost this ad- vantage at the 500-yard mark of his half, but in the last lap turned on the steam to win going away. Time: 7:45.7, which breaks the meet record set by Illinois last year by one-tenth of a second. Relay Most Interesting Race Doherty said the two-mile relay was probably the most interesting race of the evening. The lead changed hands no less than eight times. Al- though Notre Dame took the front for a brief time near the end, the event was for the most part a duel between the Wolverines and Illinois. Three times the Maize and BlueI runners had to come from behind to overtake the Illini. In the 600 Ufer and Lou Smith, Na- tional AAU champ, wore themselves out in the early stages of the race, allowing Jimmy Herbert, last year's winner, to nose them out at the finish. The 1,000 yard run was won by Les Eisenhart, who nipped Gene Venzke by two yards. Captain Mat- thews, however, almost turned the tide in his favor. Opening up just a little late, Dave came up from fifth, passed by two opponents, and came within an ace of capturing first place. Bob Hume, pitted against such champions as Greg Rice and Ollie Hunter in the two-mile ran his best race of the season to arab fourth place. In doing so he beat Folsein of Minnesota, who previously had taken him in the Indoor Conference meet. Warmerdam Center of Attention The largest part of the crowd's at- tention of course was riveted on Cornelius Warmerdam, the world's greatest pole-valuter. He obliged by clearing the world record-breaking height of 15 ft. 81/2 in. Many track experts believe that after a session with the Navy's fit- ness program (he is now at the N.C. Pre-Flight School) Warmerdam will finally achieve his dream of 16 feet. The Flying Dutchman attempted the feat last Saturday, but hit the bar on all three tries. Another stand-out was Gil Dodds, the famous Boston divinity student. He loped through the fastest mile time of the year, breaking the tape in 4:98.5 to finish ahead of his well- known rivals, Earl Mitchell and Frank Dixon. Match S 1 partans Moved Ahead Providing Michigan with a non- conference match before its Big Ten opener against Illinois, April 24, tennis coach Leroy Weir said Sunday I that the Wolverines' match with Michigan State had been moved up from April 29 to April 21. In an attempt to fill out the Maize and Blue schedule with nearby op- ponents, Weir is also attempting to arrange matches with Western Mich- igan and Notre Dame. The Wolver- ines split even with these foes last year, conquering the Broncos but being edged out by the Fightin' Irish. The Wolverine lineup is still far from settled. Freshman Roger Lewis is still resting on top of the heap, but will have to withstand challenges from Fred Wellington, Captain Jinx Johnson and Roy Bradley to open the season in that spot. Wellington is now settledhin second place after defeating Johnson in three long sets last week. This match was one of those long drawn out duels that could have been decided either way. After splitting the first two sets, the two battled to 10- all in the third before Wellington broke through to win. In another long match Ed Scott defeated Roy Boucher to take over the number six position, for the time being at least. Dixon, Called by Army Frank Dixon, fine Negro miler from New York University was ordered by the Army to report for induction next Thursday, it was announced by the Associated Press yesterday.
