Postponed Meet Rescheduled for This Week; Michigan Squad Plays in Rain Once again the weather kept the Maize and Blue linskmen from the course when the 18-hole match, schedul'ed with the University of De- troit yesterday, was called off due to the wet course and constant rain. This postponement is not perman- ent, however, and Coach Ray Court- right said last night that he expect- ed to meet Detroit some afternoon this week. In spite of the unfavorable con- ditions for golf some of the squad went out yesterday in order to get in some practice. As yet none of the golfers feel that they have had a chance to play enough to get in shape before the season actually gets under way. Next Saturday the Michigan golf- ers will meet Northwestern at Great Lakes. This is an important match since the Wildcats were runner's-up for last year's Big Ten championship. Bosox Beat Braves, 3-2 BOSTON, April 15.-(P)-The Bos- ton Red Sox made it two in a row today in the city series, beating the National League Boston Braves, 3 to* 2. The Red Sox's winning run came in the sixth on a wild pitch by big Jim Tobin. A newcomer to the Red Sox, Bob Johnson, drove in two of the Ameri- can League runs and the Braves' Butch Nieman brought in both of the National Leaguers' Tallies. ON THE REBOUND by JoAn Peterson TRUE philanthropy does not expect to be recognized. Often philan- thropists are known only to those who benefit directly from the kind- nesses thrown their way. More oft- en than not, the men who have made possible for the needy, things which would otherwise have been entirely inconceivable, are in no way reward- ed except through their own satis- faction in having done a fine thing. Philanthropists from the world of sport are some of the most mod- est people to be found. Men who have made substantial gains in various sports fields have been known to give the greater parts of their fortunes to all manner of organizations from Children's hos- pitals to Greek Relief. One outstanding case of a sports- man with a philanthropic bent, is that of Chick Evans, who in 1916, a gangly, long-legged, self-conscious youngster, made golfing history by winning both the National Amateur and National Open championships. The young Chicagoan was promptly deluged with offers to turn profes- sional and cash in on his talent, but Evans chose instead to remain in the amateur ranks. However, he did accept one of- fer-to make a series of phono- graph recordings on golf-the pro- ceeds of which lbe turned over to the Western Golf Association for "the general advancement of cad- dies." Y 1930 the fund amounted to $12,- 000 and Evans decided to use it to provide scholarships at Northwestern University for deserving caddies. To the original sum, additional contributions amounting to $50,000 have been added by the WGA. Evans' idea was heartily agreed to, and be- ginning that year, those caddies who showed outstanding merit were pre- sented with scholarships. Evans' little project would be just one of those magnanimous pro- grams that are easily forgotten, and comparatively unknown, ex- cept for the fact that we are now at war-and Chick Evans, who has no sons himself in the service, now has 45 fighting men scattered all over the fighting fronts who were former Evans "boys" at the Uni- versity, The first two caddies selected for Evans scholarships in 1930 are in the service. One is a major in the Air Service Command in India. The other is a lieutenant in the Navy, Other Evans boys serve in all the branches of the Amed forces. Chick Evans knew the boys who went through on his scholarships. He was their friend, but he didn't want to be looked up to and ap- preciated. He only hoped that those men who went through Northwestern on scholarships, would be able to make something of themselves that might other- wise have been impossible. Today Chick Evans' "boys" are doing him proud. The idea of a former cad- dy who won a couple of golf cham- pionships in 1916 is paying divid- ends. But not in money. SPORTS SHORTS . .. Events ran along without much out of the way hapening until the pole vault was won by a Northwest- ern pole vaulter who cleared 11 feet. Spectators who had been watching the vaulter with marked interest no- ticed' that the boy was competing in his bare feet. Finally one puz- zled fan spoke to Coach Frank Hill and asked him what the reason for this hillbilly exhibition. "Oh," Hill remarked, "we don't issue shoes un- til a fellow can make 12 feet." This tale dates back to 1931 ati the time of the annual coaches convention in New York. A young basketball coach, who was attend- ing the convention for the first time ,checked in at the hotel where all the coaches were supposedly staying. Many of them had check- ed in already, but for some reason they seemed to have completely disappeared, leaving no indication as to where they had gone. Feeling slightly desolate, but de- termined to take advantage of his visit to Gotham the hardwood men- tor decided to visit the Empire State Building. It wasn't a bad hunch either. When he got off the elevator at the top floor he found each and every one of the missing coaches ex- citedly viewing the city sights through telescopes. Tigers To Open Season Tuesday Against Browns DETROIT, April 15.-(IP)-The De- troit Tigers, arriving home today af- ter five weeks of spring training at Evansville, Ind., will open their Am- erican League season against the St. Louis Browns Tuesday at Briggs Sta- dium before an estimated 22,000 spectators. General manager Jack Zeller said Saginaw Wins State Indoor Track Carnival Campbell Wins Three Events; Osborn Sets Record in Highjump Saginaw's Arthur Hill high school dethroned Ann Arbor of the River Rouge State Invitational Indoor Track championship when they amassed a total of 37% points at the fifth annual running of the meet. Pontiac was second with 22% points and Ann Arbor and Monroe tied for third with 22. The Saginaw high school scored its points through team balance, count- ing in almost all events. Their vic- tory, however, was overshadowed by a feat performed by Garion Camp- bell of Monroe. This fleet-footed young colored boy captured three firsts in the 60-yard dash and the 65- yard high and low hurdles. Previous- ly in the afternoon preliminaries, Campbell had placed first in his heats of the respective events. The only new meet record to be broken was in the high jump when Osborn of Saginaw Arthur Hill made a leap of 6 feet and 1/4 inch to shat- ter the old mark of 5 feet 11 3/8 inch- es held jointly by Bender of Jackson and Smith of Royal Oak. The medley relay which consisted of a 440, 880, 660, and 3/4 mile was won by Dearborn while Ann Arbor was victor in the 880-yard relay. Winners of the other events were Seerstra of Saginaw Eastern in the 440, Hill of Ferndale in the mile run, and Kelley of Ferndale in the 880. The other field championships were earned by Vosberg of Pontiac in the pole vault and Dick Lee of Ypsilanti Central in the shot put. The meet which is an annual affair is sponsored by River Rouge Physical Education Department. It was di- rected by University of Michigan coaches Ken Doherty and Chester Stackhouse and was officiated by the members of the Wolverine track squad. Curtis Breaks NAIAU Record SAN FRANCISCO, April 15.-(P)- Ann Curtis, 18-year-old national freestyle swimming champion, bet- tered her own American record in the 440-yard freestyle event today at the National A.A.U. women's swimming and diving meet, covering the dis- tance in 5 minutes 27.3 seconds. The old mark was 5:27.8. The San Francisco girl won by nearly a lap and a quarter from her nearest contender in the second heat of the semi-finals, Marilyn Sahner of New York, who was outdistanced rapidlyvin the fourth lap after hold- ing an early lead. In the 100-yard backstroke semi- finals, Suzanne Zimmerman, 18, Multnomah Club of Portland, Ore., stroked to victory in 1:11.2. The sec- ond heat was won by 15-year-old Muriel Mellon, San Diego, in 1:13.3, and the third by Betty Shields, 16, New York, in 1:13.1. Doubleheader Against Ohio Club Raine Out Nine To Meet Fort Custer in Twin Bill; First Home Games To Be April 25-26 Trouble with the weather picked up right where it left off last spring as far as Michigan baseball is con- cerned when the season's opener with Oberlin, scheduled for yesterday af- ternoon on the Ohio team's diamond, was called off because of rain. Owing to the cancellation, the Wolverines will open against Fort Custer Saturday in a double header at the Army post field. The twin-bill will also mark the 1944 debut of the Custer nine. Team Gets to Toledo The Michigan travelling squad of 16 players got as far as Toledo yester- day before receiving word that wea- ther conditions at Oberlin would not permit play. They then turned around and headed back to Ann Ar- bor. The postponement was a distinct blow to Coach Ray Fisher's chances of bringing home his ninth Big Ten clampionship in 24 seasons as head mentor of baseball at Michigan. The Wolverines open their Western Con- ference schedule in a two-game home series with Iowa, April 25, 26, and need several games with non-Confer- ence opponents in order to get into top-notch condition. As matters now stand, they will have only the two tilts with Custer under their belts when they take the field against the Hawks. Iowa Beaten by Badgers Iowa has already played three. games against Big Ten rivals, annex- ing a pair from Chicago by lopsided scores and dropping a 7-1 decision to Wisconsin Friday. Last season, Michigan was washed out of 13 of 25 scheduled games and managed to complete only five of 10 Big Ten tilts to wind up in fifth place with a record of three wins against two losses. Ohio State copped the championship, winning six and losing Smith Qualified As Swimming Instructor BAINBRIDGE, Md., April 15.-(I') -Second Class Seaman Bill Smith, Hawaiian - born holder of seven world's swimming records, reported today at the physical instructors' school at the Bainbridge Naval Training Station. After eight weeks training, the 19-year-old swimmer who has been stationed at Great Lakes, will be qualified for a specialist's A rating and become one of the Navy's physi- cal education instructors. At the National AAU swimming meet at Ann Arbor, Mich., April 1, Smith, former Ohio State star, won the 100 and 440-yard freestyle races after establishing a new record in the 220 to fashion a triple win. one. The Wolverine losses were to Iowa and the Buckeyes. Win Eight Non-Conference Games Of the total games played includ- ing non-Conference teams, Michigan won eight and dropped four, beating Iowa, Michigan State, Michigan Nor- mal, and Selfridge Field. The Wol- verines, in addition to the two Con- ference tilts, lost to Western Michi- gan and Fremont. Cancelled games included two each with Notre Dame, Indiana, Purdue, and Grosse Ile Naval Base, and single tilts with Ohio State, the Detroit Ti- gers, Michigan State, Selfridge Field, and Michigan Normal. Cubs, White Sox Matches Notre Dame Takes Two From Indiana BLOOMINGTON, Ind., April 15.- (P)--Notre Dame made its 1944 base- ball debut today by showing power y at the plate and finesse afield to take a doubleheader from Indiana Univer- sity, 10 to 5 and 4 to 0. The Irish got nine hits in the first contest, but the wildness of Gene Seifert, Indiana's only veteran hurl- er, cost the Hoosiers a close game. Bill Martin, a Navy trainee, shut out Indiana in the second game with only two hits. At Chicago the game between Fort Sheridan and the University of Chi- cago was postponed. Because of cold and wet weather the contest between Iowa and Wis- consin was called off. The two teams played seven innings Friday before the weather stopped them, and Wis- consin came out on the long end of a 7-1 score. 4 MONTH INTENSIVE College Students and Graduates Secretarial Course for A thorough, intensive, secretarial course - starting February, July, October.
