Editor Laid Low . P. was apparently a plenty tough assignment at Custer, or at least it had dire effects. The $Ports Staff received a fetter from editor Ed Zalenski saying that he was doing a 16-hour K.P. shift Tues- day. He said it was quite an experi- ence. Apparently it was more than that, because he failed to come back with the rest of the -Advanced ROTC unit Thursday night, having been put in the hospital at Custer, and nobody seemed to be at all sure how Iog pneumonia would keep him laid u0p. Confusing . . . The track team twins, Bob and Ross Hume, seem to take an unholy delight in the mere fact of their twinness. Walk- ing together, the double exposures grin broadly at all acquaintances, and seem to be reasonably differ- ent looking. But walking alone they become very similar and we have a tendency to slip by the lone twin saying just "Hi" rather meekly, knowing full well that said twin knows perfectly well that you don't know which one he is, and that he is enjoying the situa- tion completely. NEW SPORT for Hap .. . Harry Holiday, who has been undis- puted, backstroke king this winter, may be competing in a new sport in a couple of weeks. He will make an I appearance in the National A.A.U. meet at New York April 3, and then if all goes well, may take a crack at holding down a berth on Coach Ray Courtright's golf squad. Carrying 220 pounds on a six foot five frame, Holiday is reputed to be an excellent golfer. Certainly if he puts as much into golf as he has into swimming and has a proportionate amount of ability, Courtright will have a valu- able addition to his squad. Wolverines outdoors-Coach Ray Fisher's baseball squad finally emerged yesterday from the hectic nightmare that Yost Field House presents at' every practice to dig their spikes into the solid turf on the Ferry Field diamond. The Ann Arbor mud and slush had made it impossible to hold outdoor prac- tice until yesterday. The whole thing wouldn't be so bad except that word comes from Iowa City that the Hawkeye squad, which the Wolverines meet in the opening game of the season April 9, has taken to the open spaces, and is swiftly getting in shape on the diamond. Red Wings, Toronto Play Fourth Game Tomorrow TORONTO, March 26.-(IP)- The Detroit Red Wings, holding a 2 to 1( series lead, are back in the driver's( seat for the fourth game tomorrow of their National Hockey League play- off series with the Toronto Mable' Leafs. While the Wings counted four minor casualties after their 4 to 21 triumph last night over Toront6, Manager Jack Adams was in goodt spirits for the next start in the bestA of seven series. The two clubs play the fifth game at Detroit Sunday. -4 Two-Mile Relay First; Rice Craci Michigan's two-mile relay team won its fifth consecutive victory and Bob Ufer captured the special 600- yard race last night in Cleveland's Knights of Columbus Games at the Arena. The relay foursome in winning its race nosed out Fordham to remain undefeated for the current season. The time was 7:49.5. Ufer took the measure of his old rival, Russ Owen of Ohio State, speeding the 600 yards in 1:12.5. :Bob Hume In Relay Running on the triumphant quar- tet were Ross Hume, Dave Matthews, Johnny Roxborough, and Bob Hume. Bob Hume took over "Hose-Nose" Ufer's position, as the Wolverine mid- dle-distance star is suffering a light attack of "flu" and Coach Ken Doher- ty considered one race enough for him. The feature of the evening, how- ever, was Greg Rice's record break- ing performance in the two-mile run. The famous former Notre Dame ace covered the distance in 8:50, which betters the former indoor mark by one-tenth of v second. Another indoor record was broken when Herb Thompson of Jersey City flashed through the 45-yard dash in 4.8. The old record of 4.9 was held by Percy Williams of Canada and was set in 1929. Dodds Wins Mile. Gil Dodds ,the Boston divinity stu- dent and 1942 indoor and outdoor champion, took the mile easily. Hold-. ing the lead from the beginning he gradually widened the margin, win- ning in 4:08.7. Ohio State's Bob Wright took the 45-yard high hurdles, beating out Harrison Dillard of Baldwin-Wallace in 5.6 seconds. Dillard, however, turned the tables in the 45-yard lows, winning them in 5.2 seconds. The high jump was captured by James Milne of Michigan State with T eam Captures s Own Mark a leap of 6' 51/2". Arthur Morcum of New Hampshire University was vic- torious in the pole-vault, clearing an even fourteen feet. The 1,000-yard run was taken by' Joseph Nowicki of Fordham, Inter- collegiate champion. He forged ahead to an early lead and was never seriously threatened, snapping the tape at 2:14.9. The mile-relay was won by Fordham's crack outfit in the time of 3:35.6.1 Kozlowski and Holiday Victors In Record Time (Continued from Page 1) Michigan men accounted for two of the three new Collegiate standards. Harry Holiday, 6 foot, 5 inch back- stroke star, won the 150-yard title in 1:33.5, bettering the N.C.A.A. record of 1:34.2 set by Vande Weghe of Princeton in 19U8. The mark fell short of Holiday's 1:31.7 time in win- ning this year's Big Ten crown and his 1:31.5 mark in a dual meet with Michigan, State.- The medley relay trio -of Holiday, Irvie Einbinder and'Captain Johnny Patten set a new record for 300-yard distance of 2.53A. This betters the existing standard of 2:54.5 turned in by a Princeton threesome in 1939. :Tonight's time was also slower than the fasteso Wolverine performance for the event. Against MichiganState the trio went the distance in 2.51.1. The other record was accounted for by Buckeye freshman Bill Smith. Wolverine Baseball Squad Holds First Outdoor Practice Session Frosh Thinclads, Relay Entered at Purdue Tonight Two Wolverine freshman shot-put- ters and probably the two-mile relay. team will represent Michigan tonight in the first annual Purdue Relays held at Lafayette, Ind., tomorrow. George Kreager and Bob Gardfier, leading members of Coach Chet Stackhouse's frosh squad, leave early this morning. The relay foursome plans to leave from Cleveland, where, they won the K of C two-mile relay' from Fordham and NYU last night. A total of 238. top-notch track and field athletes from 24 colleges and universities are gathering for the meet. The event was arranged after But- ler University was forced to call off its annual relays because the Navy is using the Butler Fieldhouse. Ev- ery SC*LOOI except Iowa has entered one or more athletes and the "inde- pendents" include Notre Dame, Mar- quette, Michigan State and Drake and eleven smaller schools which will compete in the college division. The program of seven relay races and six individual events will be run off before a crowd that is expected to number around 4,000. Trial heats will be held tomorrow afternoon in the 60-yard dash, 60- yard high and low hurdles ansl the shot put. The Wolverine baseball squad jul- ilantly took to the wide open spaces yesterday as they left the Yost Field House and practiced on the Ferry Field diamond for the first time. Coach Ray Fisher's lads played an intrasquad game in which several players showed up very well, consid- ering the fact that it was their initial outdoor session. Fisher started an all southpaw outfield against an all right handed"one"and it was these six men, that did most of the power hitting The greatest punch at the plate wag provided by freshman Bob Nuss- baumer who collected a double and tripple. Bob Wiese did very well in getting a single and a double, espe- cially since he is just recovering from an eye injury which he incurred last Saturday. The third slugger, Don Lund, looked exceptionally good when he slammed out a line drive that was good for three bases. Long hours spent practicing in the nets indoors proved valuable as all the pitchers that worked showed plenty of stuff for such an early date. Mickey Fishman, Don Smith, Ernie Schultz and "Pro" Boim alternated DAILYOFFICIAL BULLETIN on the mound for both teams. Fisher was especially pleased with the early season form of Boim who was burning them across the plate with blinding speed during the short while that he worked. The ground keepers have not had a chance to work over the infield and as a result the fielding was rath- er sloppy because of the rough sod. The infielders, however, should im- prove rapidly as soon as they have had more chance to work outdoors.
