here probably the fightingest team
the Maize and Blue has faced this
year. Twice Western was behind by
three runs, and twice they came
iight back, to tie up the ball game,
he last time was in the ninth with
two men out.
Coach Charlie Maher, who is in his
Seventh and final season with the
$roncos, used 15 men, one more than
Michigan, in the game yesterday. To
ther' add to the scorekeepers' trou-
bles the 'two teams committed a total
df nine errors, scored 19 runs and 25
hifts. Michigan left eight men
stranded, while the Broncos had 12
left on base.
A slim crowd of 400 watched the
marathon, a very poor showing con-
i4ering the fact that Western Michi-
gan has one of the finest teams in
the midwest.
lathward and Swanson Get Two
In racking up their sixth straight
win in seven starts, Michigan
knocked out 12 hits, one less than
the Broncos. The Wolverine safeties
'ere fairly well scattered as Elmer
$Wansbn and Bruce Blanchard, who
oap garnered two, were the only
fien Vho got more than one hit.
'After Western scored a lone run
in the top half of the first, the vars-
Ity." really went to work on Warren
Biddle and Dick Peacock to knock in
four runson a single, twordoubles
ind4 a triple. Biddle, the freshman
southpaw, started on the mound, but
was taken out after he had allowed
three ,hits and 'all four runs. Bob
1ussbaumer knocked out a triple to
deep right to score Mike Farnyk.
P1anohard, and Charlie Ketterer,
and then came all the way home
himself when Gus Gorguz juggled
,the ball in right. Dick Peacock then
'eiieved Biddle .and retired the side.
9Wth Replaces Boim
Pro .QIm,. the Wolverine starter,
had a touch of wildness in the second
itining when Western scored a pair
bf runs on two walks and the same,
number of hits: Boim allowed one
nwre, tally in the fourth before he
Vas lifted in favor of lefty Don
Smith in the sixth. Smith was
nicked for six hits and five runs be-
more he too was lifted in the ninth
after the Bronco three-run uprising.
The Wolverines' next game is with
Michigan Normal at Ypsilanti to-
morrow afternoon. Probable starter
ipr the Maize and Blue is veteran
kill Cain who started against them
last week when the varsity won 8-0.

II By ED ZALENSKI
Our 'Grand Old Man'
SOMEWHERE in the quiet hills of Tennessee there is a gray-haired man
with a pleasant twinkle in his faded blue eyes who is dreaming about the
past. He's resting at a farm in Walling and reminiscing on his 42 years'
association with Michigan and its parade of students since the turn of the
century. You all know whom we mean. To some he is "Coach." Others
refer to him as "Hurry-Up" and the "Grand Old Man." Almost every
Michigan man since the birth of the twentieth century knows and has grown
to like Fielding H. Yost. As he relaxes on his 72nd birthday can't you
picture ...
A lumbering figure of a man moving along State Street. He slowly
comes to a halt and looks back to see, if he parked his car too far from,
the curb. He pulls down his hat on his head. It's in no better shape,
and perhaps no tighter on his head, but he seems satisfied. Apparently,
he isn't going to bother about that hat any longer-his mind is on
something else!
He ambles on, but stops again and pulls a handful of cards and old
letters from his inside coat pocket. He doesn't find what he wants. Maybe
it's habit, however, that makes him reach simultaneously into each of his
side coat pockets.
BUT WAIT! What's that? The tramp! tramp! tramp! of marching
feet is heard! He turns and waits. Yes, here they come! The color
guard is passing now!
He stands erect--his hat is now held over his left breast in reverent
salute. The succeeding columns are moving past. He'd like to join them!
Michigan men are on the march! All of them are his boys-yes, every one
of them !
He has known some of these boys ever since they were infants!
There's Bill whose father was one of the greatest tackles he had ever
had! What a great team that bunch of boys was! How well he recalled
that 66 to 0 score! What a great team, too-those marching Michigan
men! Fighting men now as before! Team work-that what counts!
Hurry up! Hurry up! America, hurry up!
PERHAPS those marching men hadn't seen him! "Hep! Hep! Hep! Hep!"
And the marching men of Michigan look over and acknowledge the
"Grand Old Man" with smiles on their faces! They see his legs moving
perceptibly to the marching rhythm! They throw their shoulders back!
They straighten their lines! They are marching before Yost!
On they go-and the "Grand Old Man" turns to an admiring group
that has surrounded him. Someone turns to him and asks, "When will
the war end, Coach?"
Blue eyes twinkle and a little smile brightens up the lined and weather-
beaten face. "It's anybody's guess. You'see the other side started before
we had all our men on the field. Those fellows threw the rule book away.
This will be a hard contest."
Another, perhaps inspired by his simple and meaningful answer,
asks, "What about a second front in Europe now? Everybody wants
one."
THE "GRAND OLD MAN" turns to his questioner. There's a faraway look
in his kindly eyes. "Well, you see, everybody wants a touchdown, too,
but you might have to wait until the second half for that second front.
Don't you see?"
And what about the battle of the Pacific, Coach? "I just don't
know," he answers. "MacArthur and this feller, Nimitz, will have to
take care of that. I haven't been able to find out how many ships we
have or where they're located. I've got some good maps at home, but
what good are maps!"

Yost Celebrates
72nd Birthday

was built the $474,000 Field House,
$112,000 Coliseum, $294,000 Women's
Athletic Building and Palmer Field,
$754,000 Sports Building, $1,245,000
Stadium, and $365,000 University
golf course.
Forty-odd years have passed since
Yost came here as an unheralded and
untried school teacher from rugged
West Virginia's hills. The memory of
a second-hand jersey and worn shoes
they gave him is as fresh as the emp-
ty athletic treasury and $2 contribu-
tion to help the "good cause."
And Yost vividly remembers that
day in 1901 when he stepped off the
train here and was met by Charley
Baird and his bicycle.
"He made me walk all the way to
the Union with my heavy luggage. I
have quite forgiven his frugality for
it was he who hired me and brought
me to Michigan," Yost has said many
times.
Today, Michigan men in vital posts
on the battle line and in key posi-
tions on the industrial line still re-
member the "Grand Old Man" for
his kindly advise and encouragement.
And the men of Michigan will al-
ways revere Yost and treasure his
memory.
Golfers To Face
Northwestern
Leaving Ann Arbor this morning,
the Michigan golf team will entrain
for Evanston to meet Northwestern
in what will be the Wolverine's sec-
ond conference match.
Coach Ray Courtright announced
yesterday that Captain Ben Smith,
Bob Fife, "Bonny" Bonisteel, Bill
Ludolph and Phil Marcellus will
make the trip. All of the men made
the journey to Ohio State for the
first Big Ten match except Marcel-
lus. Phil was a letterman on last
year's team that won the conference
title.
The Wolverine squad that will
meetthe Wildcats this week-end has
had much more practice than when
it met the Buckeyes two weeks ago.
The golfers were encouraged when
they learned that Notre Dame the
team they beat last Saturday 17-7,
had defeated the Northwestern links-
men this spring by a 14/29 1/2 score.
Coach Courtright will not be able
to make the trip to Evanston with
the Wolverines and Bill Barkley,
former Michigan golfing star, and
now manager of the University
course will be in charge of the team.
INTRAMURAL
Sport Shots
Despite the war and the fact that
many of the students have left for
the armed services the Intramural
sports program planned for this sem-
ester is still going strong.
IM baseball has been the hardest
hit of the activities with only 28
teams turning out as compared with
the 100 that answered the call last
year. The independents, faculty,
professional fraternities and coopera-
tives have as many entries in this
tournament as there are ERC men
left on campus. The teams are en-
tering into the backstretch and it
is doubtful, with the present weather
that we are experiencing, if a full
schedule will be able to be played
through.
The annual IM track meet will be
held Tuesday, May 11 and will prob-
ably be the last of the IM meets held
for the duration. A large number of
groups have made inquiries about
this meet and a big turnout is hoped
for.

Face Illini
Track Team
Five Big 10 ITitlists
Give Wolverines Edge
Over Orange and Blue
By JAC MARTIN
A 22-man Michigan track squad
leaves this afternoon at 1:37 for
Champagne, Ill., where they will
meet a strong Illini team tomorrow in
the Wolverine's first Big Ten en-
counter of the season.
Saturday's meet gets under way
at 1:45 p.m. with the shot put, first
in the list of events. Michigan is en-
tering two men in the event, George
Kraeger and Bob Gardner, both out-
standing members of Coach Chet
Stackhouse's freshman team. Krae-
ger and Gardner will also compete in
the discus.
The opening track event is the mile
run, with Captain Dave Matthews
and Ross Hume running for the Wol-
verines. And only forty minutes later
Matthews and Hume are scheduled to
run the 880-yard race, together with
teammate Johnny Roxborough, the
Big Ten Indoor 880 champion. This
short time between the two events
will undoubtedly cause difficulties.
Bob Ufer, Willis Glas, and Bill
Matney are Michigan entrants in the
quarter. This trio will face strong
competition from the Illini's Kelley,
who han a 49.2 anchor leg in the mile
relay at last week's Drake Relays.
Ufer, Glas, and Matney will com-
bine with sophomore Art Upton to
make up the Wolverine mile relay
foursome.
Entered in the dashes are Len Al-
kon, Chuck Pinney, and Don Ster-
nisha, another freshman stand-out.
Pinney, however, will not run the
220, as he is slated to compete in the
220-yard low hurdles, probably with
Jim Sears and Jack Martin. Wol-
erines in the 120-yard high hurdles
are Bud Byerly and Liv Stroia.
Rounding out the track program is
the two-mile run. Bearing the Maize
and Blue burden here are Ernie Leo-
nardi, Bob Hume, and Jim Conant.
The Michigan field men are Gene
Moody and Bob Segula in the pole
vault; Pinney and Stroia in thq
broad jump; Bill Dale, Bill Taylor,
Stroia, and Gardner in the high
jump.

He turns, and watching the columns of Michigan men as
view, quietly recites his favorite poem by Grantland Rice:
"Why should a fellow grow old and gray
As long as he lives in the Land of Play?
As long as he lives where Youth still calls
Or beckons over the morning walls?
He may grow gray, but never old
Where the flaming story of sport is told.
And one has forgotten the passing years,
The worries and troubles and doubts and fears
As Youth, the conqueror, swings on by
Where the night is far and the sun is high."
