AST WEEK when Michigan was playing host to Notre Dame in a baseball
series, Michigan fans got a glimpse of Frank Gilhooley Jr., captain
and center fielder of this year's Irish nine, and though it isn't every day
that you see a father-son combination make good in the majors, unless
all indications are wrong, young Gilhooley will be sporting a big league
uniform, the same as his father did for quite a number of years.
One of the best defensive fielders in the Mid-West last year, when
he was patrolling the outer gardens as a regular for Notre Dame, Gil-
hooley has improved his batting prowess this year and is currently rated
as the team's leading hitter, and most oposing coaches give him the
nod as the outstanding ball player on the Irish team, as well as rating
him hifrh in collegiate ranks.
Frank's prep school experience consisted of varsity basketball and
baseball for three years at Toledo's Central Catholic High, from- whence
he matriculated at -Notre Dame in September of 1942. Hgwever, he
dropped out of school the following semester and didn't return again until
that fall when he had his draft status definitely cleared up. Since then,
Gilhooley was on last year's Notre Dame baseball team and also managed
to win a regular berth on this year's high-scoring quintet.
GILHOOLEY'S athletic prowess comes naturally to him, for he has been
in such an environment all of his life and was especially exposed to
baseball traditions since childhood. His father was regarded as one of the
greatest big leaguers of his day and many of his feats are still widely ac-
claimed.
The elder Gilhooley made his debut in the big leagues with the St.
Louis Cardinals in 1911. After a short stay in the minors, he was traded
to the New York Yankees in 1913 and played the outfield for them for the
next five years. And it is here that Wolverine baseball mentor, Ray Fisher,
first came in contact with Gilhooley, Sr., as he was then pitching for the
Yanks.
Frank, Sr. was traded to the Boston Red Sox in 1917 and there
became the roomate of Babe Ruth, one of the greatest and most
colorful ball players of all time. Gilhooley played with the Sox for'
four years after which he was again shipped to the minor leagues,
where he finally bowed out of professional ball in 1929, his last year as
the manager of the Jersey City ball club.
It must be a great feeling for Frank, Sr., a lover of baseball, to finally
;see his grown son rapidly approaching major league caliber and almost
ready to carry on the tradition which he himself started, and according
to various reports received, it won't be long now before young Frank will
also make his debut in the professional ranks.
E LROY HIRSCH, Michigan's only athlete able to win four varsity letters
in one year, has been offered a $9,600 contract from the Cleveland
Rams of the National Football League.
Hirsch, who just finished lengthy training and received a Lieutenant's
commission in the Marine Corps, was en route to the West Coast for assign-
ment when he received the offer from the general manager of the Rams.
Cleveland picked Hirsch in the 1945 college draft at New York last month
and the offer was based on his availability in 1946.!

Score for Michigant
By RUTH ELCONINt
Trouncing Ohio State yesterday,
19-8, at the University golf course,
Michigan's linksmen gained theirt
fourth consecutive triumph andr
snapped the Buckeyes' winning streak
at nine victories.
Coach Bill Barclay's charges were
cut to avenge a 15-12 setback at thec
hands of the Ohioans in an earlier
contest, their only defeat of the sea-
sen. The Wolverine golf mentor,
commenting on the contet, said the
squad dhplayed a complete reversal
of form from the previous Buckeye
tilt, and, considering the lack of
practice last week due to the heavy
and constant rains, the Maize and
Blue team played very well.
With the doubles combinations
teeing off in the morning, with three
points at stake in each match, the
Wolverines get off on the right foot
by carding two shutouts and split-
ting the third match.
Split Doubles
Michigan's twosome<, of John Tews
and John Jenswold and Bob Ernst
and Ken'Morey held their respective
opponents of Howard Baker and Dick
Barr, and John Lorms and Bob New-
ell scoreless. The other Maize and
Blue pair of Phil Marcellus and Cap-
tain Paul O'Hara divided with Dan
Rocker and Bob Kampfer.
At the end of the doubles play,
Barclay's men were out front 71/2-

L(BERTY AT MAYNARD ,

BOSTON, May 19-(P)---Radcliffe
College's cinderella girl crew today
bested a straw-hatted Harvard eight
in a prankish stunt race-first water
contest between the Cambridge
neighbors-winning by 3 seconds in a
flutter finish.
The Harvardians had a flutter of
amnesia, or perhaps chivalry, mis-
judged the finish line, and stopped
racing with 50 yards to go.
Radcliffe, co-captained by titian-
haired twin sisters Jane and Dorothy
Driscoll, Brookline, spurted on, fin-
ishing the half mile Charles River
course winner by half a length in
4:8. Harvard's time was 4:11.

The exuberant winners promptly
tossed their shirts toward Harvard's
boat, as co-captain Dorothy shouted:
"Don't get excited. We have other
shirts on underneath."
Both contestants were impeded by
an uninvited M.I.T. crew, female
impersonators in curly wigs and yel -
low jerseys.
The harassed judges, who had to
argue their way onto their launch
after being told there was no room
for them, originally gave the victory
to Harvard. Back on shore, they
reversed the decision.
"We've been thinking things over,"
said one.

ANN ARBOR, MUST BE
A SPONGE. That is what
the students are beginning
to believe when they see
nothing but rain, rain and
more rain day after day.
Some say they can't re-
member what the sun looks
like. Others claim that
there have been only two
nice days (critera for a
nice day is that it doesn't
rain more than 4 inches)
in the last month. V-12
trainees enjoy the rain
especially when a heavy
downpour comes on Wed-
nesday afternoons. Reas-
on: they don't have to
drill But the University
students will agree that
they have had enough. The
Daily has jokingly stated
that it will put out arn Ex-
tra the first day it stops
raining and that the sun
shines!
THE CAMPUS SPIRIT

ANN ARBOR, MICH

To the winners will go the
prestige attached to de-
feating their traditional
class rivals in athletic
pummeling. Class Games
is in no way connected
with the Black Fridays
whose memories still live
in Union posters, but it
is the direct outgrowth of
that old Michigan class
rivalry. Until it was ruled
out by the Regents as be-
ing dangerous to the phy-
sical well-being of Univer-
sity students, Black Fri-
day was the climax of
frosh-soph antagonism.
After many proclamations
asserting the mental and
moral lethargy of the soph-
omores, the freshmen
would raise a flag telling
the sophs exactly where
they could go. If the fros :.
succeeded in keeping the
flag up, they won the right
to remove their pots. If
not, they were to be worn
until the next commence-
ment. The going got rough
