Roger Lewis, Michigan's diminui- Even the so-called "soft" intellectual is forced, through one means or tive mite of tennis wizardry, is expec- another to spend some time conditioning the famous unused muscles, and, theoretically, at least, is finding new joy in what was once termed "vibrant sinews." At no time, even in pre-war, pre-hardening program days, did men ever evince much interest in the dance. Ballroom dancing yes, but that's social, and even the lumbering greats of the gridiron could be found clearing interference on the dance floor. But "the dance" as an art expression, never. Modern dance reviews were assiduously avoided by almost all men, and even if the expressionistic dance was put on by an all-male group, such as the one Ted Shawn trained, the audience was composed almost entirely of women and a few protesting males. Men, who have been the leaders in creative expression elsewhere, seem- ed to find the beauties of artistic dancing beyond the realm of dignity, and would not submit. IT IS ODD to find that modern dance, which is essentially using the body in such a way as to express o me.nin, or idea, to form a uatteinn ri to set a 4mood, has been taken over by the Army and Navy, in fact all harden- ingprograms, and is now incorporated into the exercises. ' When a group of khaki figures goes through a timed bayonet drill, with precision and ease, each one carrying out the motions exactly as he has been taught, it is amazing to note how similar the graceful, but at the same time, well-coordinated movements, are to the #ithe contortions of a modern dancer. In a modern dance exhibition they would have given it a high sounding title-"Democracy Becomes Forceful," or some such name, and there would have been a program explaining the action. ,Music would have led up a striking crescendo screaming "Kill!" But without the fancy accompaniment the result is the same. Hundreds of thousands of men are learning modern dance these days. In every part of the country they are going through timed exercises for the purpose of getting tough. They may not be enjoying it particularly but they're getting it. Modern dance should at least be understood by men after the war. They will have had the groundwork in modern dance technique, so that the rhythmic grace of expressionistic dance routines should not be anything new and distasteful. There may be a new regime for modern dance after the war-if so, it would be odd to think that out of the hundreds of straining athletes drilling endlessly and with precision for a "young man's" war, there- could be born a masculine interest 'in one of the most misused of the arts. verine net plans for the 1944 cam- paign. Lewis gives the credit for his suc- cess to his father, who was an out- standing net star at the University of Minnesota. Lewis said, "My father has been giving me valuable pointers in the game ever since I was 13, and' Sthesepointers have helped me con- siderably." Lewis' first taste of glory came in his sophomore year at Ann Arbor High, when he and Fred Wellington captured the state doubles champion- ship. Wellington played number four singles for the Maize and Blue last year and in addition teamed up with Lewis in the doubles. It was in his junior and senior years at Ann Arbor High that Lewis made an outstanding reputation for himself. He captured the state sin- gles championship both years and was acknowledged as one of the top- ranking netters in the Midwest. Wins 36 Straight During his three years of competi- tion for Ann Arbor High, Lewis never once suffered a defeat. He amassed an impressive total of 36 consecutive wins in addition to his victories in the state championships. Lewis was very popular with his teammates as evidenced by the fact that he was captain of the team in his third and fourth years. He is a very likeable boy and has a perfect temperament for tennis., Lewis looks back with great pride at the time he defeated Tom Falken- burg, California's sensational netter, in the St. Joseph Valley Tournament. "I was really lucky," commented Lewis, "to win that one." Lewis experienced another great victory when he teamed with Benny Migdow to capture the River Forest Invitational .Doubles championship at Chicago. He went to the semi- finals in the singles, only to lose a torrid three-set battle to Art Leigh- ton, who was then one of the main- stays on the great Senn High School team, which won the National prep championship. Lewis, however, was not content to just stay with tennis so he tried out for the basketball team in his sopho- more year and performed as a regular for three seasons. To further prove his versatility Lewis captured the Ann Arbor Junior championship in ping-pong. Does Well in Big Ten After the conclusion of his spec- tacular high school career, Lewis en- tered the University of Michigan last February. He promptly worked him- self up to a starting berth on the varsity tennis team- and was fairly impressive throughout the season. Lewis went all the way to the semi- final round in the number tiva singles division of the Big Teri tennis cham- pionships. He also won a majority of his dual meets against conference foes last year. With the experience gained from last year's competition, Lewis should develop into a real threat for the Conference championship. He has excellent ground strokes, and has what netters call a "good head for tennis." Lewis is a member of the NROTC unit and is enrolled as a mechanical engineer. He has always maintained a good average. Randolph Field Plans Football For Next Year SAN ANTONIO, Tex., April 5.- ()-Randolph Field, which stayed in the nation's headlines last fall with a gridiron record that included a 7-7 tie with mighty Texas in the Cotton Bowl, will play big-time football against next season. Travel restrictions which would have held Army air field teams to their bases have been lifted, giving a big boost to football in the southwest with such fields as Randolph, Lub- bock and Abilene Army Air Base planning major schedules. York ITOTUerS As Titex"s bea. Rochester 1341 TERRE HAUTE, Ind.. April 5:-- ()P)-Paul Trout yielded his first run in 11 innings this spring and Rudy York belted a home run as the Tigers defeated the Rochester Red Wings of the International League 13 to 1 be- fore 200 chilled spectators today. Trout, returning to the park where he got his start in organized baseball ten years ago, pitched the first five; innings and gave up one run on five hits. Rookie Ruffus Gentry made his first 1944 appearance in the last four innings and held Rochester hitless. The Tigers gathered 11 hits off three pitchers and took advantage of 12 bases on balls. In the sixth inning York hammered a 315 foot drive into the left field stands off Bill Emmer- ich, a right hander, with Roger Cra-I mer on base. York also got a single and scored three runs, 'showing that a blackened eye is no drawback to hit ! production. York was struck on the right eye in practice at Evansville yesterday and carried a beautifulj shiner into the game. The victory was Detroit's third in five exhibition games. The Tigers got enough runs to win in the first inning off George Sumey. Don Heffner opened with a single and Eddie Mayo beat out a bunt. Cramer sacrificed and York walked, filling the bases. Heffner scored on a force play at second on Jimmy Outlaw's bounder, and then Mayo and Outlaw worked the double steal, Mayo scoring. Detroit didn't score again until the fifth, when the Tigers fell on Emmer- ich for five runs on three hits. I~- - ~ _ _ The Michigan Athletic Depart- , ment announced yesterday that theI Cleveland Chamber of Commerce had submitted a bid to both Michigan and Purdue to have next fall's Michi- gan-Purdue football game, scheduled' for Oct. 28 at Ann Arbor, transferred; to Cleveland's Municipal Stadium. Athletic Director Herbert O. (Fritz)} Crisler declined to comment on the surprise gesture but said that the proposition would be presented to the Michigan Athletic Board for proper consideration. No word has been re-, ceived from Lafayette, Ind. on theI Purdue reaction to the bid., Alumni Favor Bid The invitation came from B. T. Franklin, who has charge of arran- ging such matters for the Cleveland Chamber of Commerce. The Michi- gan Alumni group in Cleveland is also reported to be backing the campaign' to have the game transferred. Cleveland has consistently made a practice in the last few years of bringing important sports events to! its huge Municipal Stadium, which l has a seating capacity of around 80,000. Next fall's grid contest be- I tween Illinois andsOhio State will be played there in addition to several other top attractions. Notre Dame, Army and several other football pow- ers have appeared in the stadium in{ the past. Would Draw Large Crowd The chief argument in favor of the switch is that the contest between the two Western Confe ence co- love Made To Transfer Pu rdu e, Mchga .Tl Cleveland Chanaber of Counerce Wants Football Game Played in Municipal Stadium champs of last year would draw a lar- ger crowd than if played in Ann Arbor. Transportation problems and gas rationing, together with the lack of past gridiron rivalry with Purdue jould cut into the Ann Arbor crowd. Such events, on the other hand, have always drawn well in Cleveland. Nevertheless, it is expected that there will be much local opposition to the shift since Michigan fans could not get to Cleveland for the game. In addition, the Purdue fracas is the highlight of the Wolverine 1944 home schedule and the change would not be welcome from that standpoint. It was pointed out that one factor which may figure strongly in the consideration. of the proposal is that the date for the game occurstbetween Semesters and a' large part of the Michigan student body would not be on hand.

The upper line represents living costs as far back as 1914-including rent, food, clothing, household furnishings, etc. Notice the mountain peak .during the first World War, and the rising slope during the present war.These upward curves mean money out of your pocket. You pay more and more for the things you buy. Ndw look at the bottom line of the chart-the one headed steadily down- ward. That is the average price of your residential electricity since 1914. Thanks to rate reductions and increased use, your average price of electricity is LESS today than before the war. It is lower in price than even during the depression in 1932. And it is only half the price you paid during the last war. Electricity is cheap. THE DETROIT EDISON COMPANY 1 -1 i Orange trimmed with black. longed to deceased father. stantial reward. 22543.
