FIDAY, APRIL 2,1943 THE MICHIGAN DAILY FAO2E TRUZI Wings Beat Bruins, 6-2, in First Game of Stanley Cup Finals Bruneteau and Abel Lead Detroit to Victory Two Ex-Yanks Bolster Indian Lineup Wolverines Continue Practicing For Opening Tilt Against Iowa DETROIT, April .-(A'I)-Detroit's rampaging Red Wings streaked through Boston for six goals, gavel the Bruins a sound 6-2 thumping, and climbed the first notch toward possession of the Stanley Cup in the first game of the final series before 12,562 gleeful fans in Olympia Stadi- um tonight. The Bruin was a weary, fightless animal tonight, and it was pure De- troit speed that provided the real fighting. The Wings pounded home three goals in the second period to take a 4-1 lead, then added two more in the third and coasted to the verdict. Bruneteau Gets Hand Cheering hometowners gave their loudest ovation to Modere Fernand "Uruneteau, Manitoba wing known as "Mud," who banged in three goals for the coveted "hat trick." Mr. Mud tbhereby became the first Red Wing in history to pierce the nets three times ia cup game. If Boston had a hero he was Art Jackson, their Toronto wing, who bagged the first goal at 18:53 of the first period and spear-headed the Brttin attack most of the night. Ab Demarco drilled another one past Goalie Johnny Mowers at 17:53 of the last period but by that time the verdict was sealed. Abel Thrills Crowd Bruneteau's feat will enter the rec- ord books, but Capt. Sid Abel pro- vided the night's thrilling moment. Moved up by manager Jack Adams to the center position on his first line, he dashed after a loose puck at 1iid-ice late in the second period. Six 'feet ahead was 32-year-old Har- yey (Busher) Jackson. Black-haired Sid passed Jackson at the blue line, -stole the puck, and skated in to score unassisted. Brimsek was helpless. Detroit scored first in every per- iod and almost at the same moment eacli time. In the first period, de- fenseman Jack Stewart got one after 75 seconds had elapsed; in the second Bruneteau had one 72 seconds after the intermission; and in the third Bruneteau did it after 81 seconds had ticked off. Abel Takes Honors Abel led the chase for scoring hon- ors with five points on a goal and foir assists. Brimsek made 37 saves, Mowers 25. Boston will remain in Detroit for the second game of the four-out-of- seven series here Sunday night.

Armstrong To Face Beau Jack NEW YORK, April i.-(IP)-The Hammer comes back to Madison Square Garden tomorrow night for the "biggest fight" of his life. Gone are the three championships he once held and there's no title on the line this time as he tangles in a ten-rounder with strong, tough young Beau Jack, the kid he once taught how to fight. But to the Hammer, it's the most important brawl in all his career, because he wants to show the "wise guys" that he's not a washed up old man. The Hammer, of course, is Henry' Armstrong, Li'l Perpetual Motion of a few years back when he was boss man of the welterweights, the light- weights and the featherweights-the only man in ring history to hold three crown simultaneously. Two years ago, the experts wrote his fistic "obit." They said he was through for keeps after Fritzie Zivic beat him up twice in a row. Everyone believed it except the Hammer. 4 - -.-*- 4amma mm mm mmmm Two former members of the New York Yankees who went to the Cleveland Indians last winter, get together with their new boss, Mana- ger Lou Boudreau (center), at the Indians' spring training grounds at Lafayette, Ind.

TRACKMEN PREPARE: Cinder Squad Begins Practice For ComingOutdoor Season weather continues the Michigan nine will not be at such a great advantage when they open the season against Iowa one week from today. The Hawkeyes have been practicing outside for several weeks now, and this Saturday against Upper Iowa they will start a liheup that will in- clude eight veterans. This game will be the opener for the Iowans and Coach Waddy Davis expects to shift his lineup around in order to field the best possible team against Michigan in the opening Conference game. Fisher Drills Squad Meanwhile, Coach Ray Fisher is still drilling his Maise and Blue squad on fundamentals at the Ferry Rield diamond. Yesterday Fisher used vet- erans Pro Boim, Mickey Fishman, and Bill Cain on the mound along with freshman Dick Drury, a local boy who looked mighty fine when he had his control. The pitching was just fair as Bob Stenberg, Dick Walterhouse, and Don Lund led the hitting attack with several hits apiece. The fielding was better than average considering the fact that the team has had less than a week's practice outside. Lund was very impressive in centerfield, while in the infield it was Howie Wikel and Stenberg who shone at short and sec- ond, respectively. Swanson Behind Plate Behind the bat Elmer Swanson seems to have the catcher's position well in hand and should be the likely candidate for this spot when the sea- son begins. It wasn't so long ago that Elmer Gedeon won letters in both baseball and track, and it looks like Swanson will repeat the feat of his namesake for he has already won his letter in track. After the game, Fisher himself took the mound so that his charges could have additional batting and fielding practice. Ray used to pitch for the New York Yankees and shades of his old form were visible as he winged the sphere across the plate. Christianson Out It was also learned yesterday that Wayne Christianson, a veteran sec- ond baseman from last year, is forced to give up baseball because he expects to be drafted the first of May, and in order to receive all his credits for graduation he will have to have all his work for the semester completed by the time he leaves school. New Additions Planned for PEM Courses By HANK MANTHO Plans are now being made to in- crease the present obstacle course for PEM students at the University of Michigan. Coach Clarence Munn is chairman of the committee on this obstacle course and he is being assisted by coaches Earl Martineau and "Ben- nie" Oosterbaan. The obstacle course at Ferry Field is built on smooth grass, is 120 yards long and 16 feet wide. The present course will be increased to 350 yards with the addition of these new ob- stacles. Most of the added obstacles will be under the Army Air Corps plan. Work on these additions will start within a few days. The object of this course "is to make it tough enough, yet safe enough to prevent injury," said Munn. Reactions Good Munn feels that the reactions of the student body and Army men to- wards this program have been very good. He also mentioned that an, effort would be made to time each student and give them a chance to better each obstacle. The obstacles encountered by PEM students on the presenlt course are the regulation hurdle, four foot fence, a crawl under, a seven foot wall, a nine foot ditch, a zig-zag or balance, consisting of three twelve foot sections of planks, six inches wide and twenty inches off the ground. Five yards beyond is a thir- ty-six foot maize requiring the boys to change directions four times and allowing twenty inches between, posts. The last obstacle requires a boy to climb a rope to a ladder four- teen feet off the ground, and then go on hands from rung to rung, com- ing down a rope on the other side. Record Time The record time for this obstacle course is held by Alex Canja, Matt OSU Favored To Take AAU Swim* Crown NEW YORK, April 1.-VP)-Ohio State's swimmers, headed by two boys from the Hawaiian Islands, Bill Smith and Keo Nagama, will try to make a clean sweep of the nation's major swimming championships in the National A.A.U. indoor meet at the New York Athletic Club's pool tomorrow and Saturday. The Buckeyes, holders of the 1942 A.A.U. outdoor team title, have won the Big Ten and National Collegiate A.A. team championships this year, With a 16-man team, topped by Smith, holder of world records for 220, 440 and 880 yards freestyle, and Nakama, defending champion and meet record holder at 440 yards, Ohio State is favored to win this one, too. Strong competition is expected, how- ever, from Yale's defending cham- pion team and from Michigan. In all, 96 swimmers representing 21 clubs, colleges and schools as well as the Army, Navy and Coast Guard have entered the two-day meet. The 220-yard freestyle, 220-yard breast- stroke, one-meter dive, 300-yard in- dividual medley and 400-yard free- style relay will be contested on Fri- day and the 100-yard and 440-yard freestyle, 150-yard backstroke, three- meter dive and 300-yard medley relay on Saturday. Trial heats will be held in the afternoon each day and finals at night. Defending champions, besides Na- kama, are Yale's speedy freshman, Alan Ford, in the 220; two Yale relay teams and Chief Sepcialist Adolph Kiefer of the Norfolk, Va., Naval Training Station in the backstroke and individual medley. Mann's star diver, and a non-ath- lete, Lawrence Smith. Their time is 29 seconds. When asked about the importance of such an obstacle course, Munn stated, "It has proved to be a good conditioner as well as being interest- ing to the students taking PEM." Reds Beat Scrubs BLOOMINGTON, Ind., April 1.- (R)- The Cincinnati Red regulars beat the scrubs today for the second time, 6 to 3, in preparation for their first games with the Chicago White Sox in Louisville Saturday and Sun- day. With the Big Ten Indoor Confer- ence track title safely tucked away for one year, Michigan's powerful cin- der squad will begin tuning up Mon- day for the coming outdoor campaign. The outdoor season will officially open April 24 when Coach Ken Doherty sends a picked team of trackmen to the famous Penn Relays in Philadelphia. There had been some question previously as to whether the team would attend the Penn or Drake Relays. Doherty's de- cision to attend the Penn Relays will give the Wolverines an opportunity to remove several of the team marks set up by Eastern teams. Only dual meet on the outdoor schedule is scheduled for May 1 at Champaign with the University of Illinois trackmen. Michigan fans will have just one chance to watch their Maize and Blue cindermen in action. On May 8 Ohio State and Michigan State will come here for a triangular meet. There will be much interest in this meet, since the Buckeyes are defend- ing outdoor champions. Coach Doherty's squad will close the short outdoor campaign on May 15 and 16 at Evanston, Ill., with the Big Ten Outdoor Conference meet. Michigan unseated Ohio State in the Indeer meet last month and will be out to turn the trick again. Since Doherty has not given up any of his key athletes to the armed services, the Maize and Blue squad can conceivably repeat its one-sided victory of the indoor meet at Chicago March 5-6. I. Ii yntramural Sport Shots By SHERWOOD KATZ : I Major League Highlights All hail the ATO's, newly crowned basketball champions of the frater- nities, and well they deserve this praise. Last night against a valiant Al- pha Delta Phi five the Alpha Tau Omega's won their laurels by a 31-22 score. Howard Wikel, Rudy Smeja and Paul White of the ATO's and Stratton Brown of Al- pha Delta Phi were the stand-outs last evening in a game which fea- tured almost everyone on each side sharing the spotlight for a few minutes. Howie Wikel, an almost "sure bet" to win a post on the varsity baseball team, garnered the top scoring hon- ors for the evening with the fine point total of 14. Brown of the Alpha Deltas was top scorer for his team and placed second to Wikel with Rudy Smeja of the ATO's, who also popped eight points through the hoop. On looking through the ATO lineup one would think that there had been a printer's error because of the men represented on it---on It were members of the baseball and football teams. Rudy Smeja was one of the stalwarts on the Maize and Blue pigskin group last year and Paul "Whizzer" White, the Captain-elect of next year's footballers, was also one of the outstanding stars. Paul also dou- bles on baseball along with Wikel and as you can plainly see it wasn't any wonder that the ATO's won with all of these fine athletes playing for them. I I " Cubs Beat Sox, 4-2 FRENCH LICK, Ind., April 1.- (P)- Jimmy Wilson, Chicago Cubs' boss, was chased off the bench first and then off the field by umpire Art Pasarella today as the Bruins came from behind to beat the White Sox, 4-2, and square their informal spring training series at one-all. Wilson's banishment came in the fifth inning after Stan Hack, who had singled, was tossed out trying to steal home. Three walks given up by big Bill Lee, a fly ba)l and a forceout gave the Sox a run in the first inning. They added another in the third when rookie Thurman Tucker reached first on Stu Martin's fumble, stole second, and scored on Guy Curtwright's single. The Cubs counted in the third on Len Merullo's triple and Hack's sin- gle. They added two more in the fifth, on a triple by Dom Dalles- sandro, singles by Claude Passeau and Hack, and an error charged against Luke Appling.

Dean Works with Browns CAPE GIRARDEAU, Mo., April 1-- ()- Paul Dean, new acquisition to the St. Louis Browns' pitching staff, worked like a combination of "Dizzy and Paul" for two innings of his first practice game today, strik- ing out two batters and holding the others hitless. But in the third he gave up three hits and a run. He said afterward, "I didn't have a thing but I'll guar- antee you my arm will be all right. It feels fine." The intra-squad game ended in a 2-2 tie. * *, Cooper Returns to Lineup CAIRO, Ill., April 1.- (P)-Morton Cooper, who said the condition of his injured back was improving, pitched for two innings in a St. Louis Cardinals' practice game today. Al- though he was scored on twice, Coo- per had good speed and seemed to be working with more freedom. Rookie Harry Breechen, who fol- lowed Cooper, doled out only one hit in four innings to help Coach Mike Gonzales' squad to a 5 to 2 victory over Coach Buzzy Wares' team. DO YOU DIG IT?
