TUESITAY, JAN. 23; 1945 "IlLE M I CHI GA N IAILY Wolverine Swimmers Trounce Northwestern Well-Rounded Squad Led by Church, Fries, Mowerson, Lopez, Munson Whip Wildcats Coam il urd e Coes t Woh erities IL)'e FiirsI 1)ial Meet of Seasou As Fighting Ilhini Register 21-10 Victory Constant practice will be the cur- Michigan's 1945 swimming squad proved itself to be of the calibre of past Maize and Blue championship crews by thoroughly trouncing a con- fident Northwestern aggregation last Saturday night. Coach Matt Mann's boys have developed into a powerful well- rounded squad, strong in all de- partments, as was shown bytheir 54-29 triumph. The sterling' per- formances of Mert Church Chuck Fries, Bob Mowerson, Ulysses Lo- pez, and Bob Munson testify to the dividends paid off by long hours of practice under expert tutelage. Captain Church deserves special mention for the decisive victory he chalked up in the 220-yard freestyle event. Church, Big Ten 50-yard champ, is expert in the short dis- tance division but was never strong in the longer runs. He was defeated in the 220 by Pulakus of Great Lakes only two weeks ago. Since that time he has worked unceasingly, under the direction of Coach Mann, with such success that he has cut his time by eleven seconds and has proved him- self capable of defeating experienced conference opposition, such as North- Navy aUse T-Formation ANNAPOLIS, Md., Jan. 22.-(P)- Navy's football followers, well accus- tomed by now to power and passes- but mostly power-can expect some flash and dash as well next season, for Head Coach Oscar E. Hagberg promised today to add bits of the "T" formation. But the promise held good only for bits. Commander Hagberg made it plain he intended to stick to Navy's single wingback style for thd power which gave the Middies one of the country's top teams in 1944. Will Use Two Formations "I feel we will definitely use the 'T,' but in combination with some- thing else," was the way "Swede" put it. "We won't, however, run our full offense from the 'T.' I still want to use power plays, and our single wing formation can take care of that. "It is my belief that the two offen- ses, 'T' and single wing, can be mixed with success. It's not like carrying two styles of attack. You can use the simpler 'T' plays-four or five are easily adaptable-and work up a smooth, versatile and well-balanced I offense."; Hagberg Notes Ohio State Hagberg called attention to the success of several teams who followed this style in 1944, notably Ohio State. But "Swede" made one reservation as regards any future use of the "T:" "Whatever moves we evetually make, we won't go in for the quarter- back doing the passing, as in the 'T.' The fullback or halfback can do the job. I personally feel the full- back would be the best passer." t:h a dDS Ry C t western's captain, Graham Davis and Wildcat Art Koblish. Chuck Fries again exhibited his proficiency in the sprint and mid- dle-distance runs by clinching the 50 and 100-yard freestyle events. This repeat of his showing against Great Lakes establishes Fries, who is Big Ten 100-yard freestyle champ, as one of the most powerful freestyle men in the Conference and Coach Mann believes that he will have no trouble in retaining his title. Michigan's victories in both relays, and all the freestyle events but the 440, can be attributed in no small way to the efforts of Bob Mowerson.- Mowerson; a member of the Wolver- ine's 1936 championship swimming squad, has just received a medical dis- charge from the army because of malaria contracted while in the South Pacific. Swimming the anchor leg in both the medley and freestyle relays, Mowerson definitely showed that he was capable of filling Church's and Fries' shoes in these events. Be- cause of this, the two aforemen- tioned mermen have ample time to rest between events, and enter com- petition in top-condition. Thus, a glaring weakness in the Wolverine squad which was noticeable in the Great Lakes meet, is remedied. Coach Mann is pleased with the development of Ulysses Lopez, Maize and Blue springboard performer. Lo- pez, a native of Ecuador, clinched sec- ond place in the Fancy Diving com- petition for his first attainment of honors this year. The remarkable progress this stalwart has made can, be readily appreciated when it is realized that he has been diving in earnest for only three months. Ralph Chubb and Ward Op- dyke swam under the colors of the Maize and Blue for the first time this year. Chubb, 1944 football let- ter - winner, churned rapidly through his 1 0-yard leg in the medley relay to increase his lead by five yards. Spartns Gain Easy ictory Over Albion EAST LANSING, Mich., Jan. 22.- (AP)-Michigan State College, using reserves freely, won 58-38 its second game of the season from Albion Col- lege tonight. It was State's third' straight victory, and its fifth win in 11 starts. The Spartans, playing generally tighter ball than they did during the' early part of the season, led all the way, and were ahead 30-19 at the half. State defeated Albion 72-36 in, the first game of the series. Coach Ben F. Van Alstyne started a reserve team, and during the first 13 minutes of play it piled up 22 points against Albion's 12. Jack Bres- lin of Battle Creek, star fullback on the 1944 football team, making his first appearance as a basketball play- er, scored eight points during the 20 minutes he was in the game. j riculum for Michigan's matmen dur- ing this week.

Newt Skillman tlen put Michigan into the lead for the only time of the afternoon as he pinned Bob Smith in 5:37. Skillman went further by pin- ning Smith in 8:36, but the first pin was the one on which he officially won the match. Illinois surged back into the lead I when Fred uooth, Wolverine 145- pounder, lost a close decision to Bob Bohannon, 4-2. Again the jwatch could have ;one either way, but Bohannon had the edge in rid- ing time and thus took the match. Stu Snyder, a surprise starter for the wrestling team who had defeatedI George Darrow 10-2. earlier in the week, lost his match by a pin. Al- though he was ahead early in the match. Snyder was pinned by Ed Bower, another Illini letterman, in 2:14.

He won the two mile event easily in the slow time of 9.58.4. With his theological studies completed, Dodds plans to set out for Los Angeles to join a gospel group. MANN IS BEAMING: Bill Beebe, Former Taukman, Rescues Comrade in Pacii By BUD ROVIT Lieutenant William F. Beebe of I Wilmette, Ill., and former captain of j Michigans 1941 National Champion- ship swimming team, now in the Navy submarine service in the Southwest Pacific, dashed through 200, yards of shark-infested water to rescue a wounded seaman from certain death.j So ran a Navy journal clipping which reached swimming coach M-tt Mann, this week, after he had al-! ready received a letter from Beebe, dated after the clipping, in which ab- solutely no mention was made of the heroic incident. Beebe Wasn't a Natural Mann recalls that "Long Bill" Bee-' be was not a "natural" athlete, but had to gain the aquatic prowess which he finally achieved by long grueling hours of work and sheer. determination. He was six feet two inches tall, and like many tall men he was lacking in instinctive coordi-! nation. which doubled the severity of his task. Disregarding these seemingly in-E surmountable obstacles, by the time Beebe had reached the end of his F.nior year, he had copped the Con-; ference Championship in the 150 yardI backstroke event, and had captained one of the Wolverine's best swimming teams, which won the Big Ten Title I and edged out Yale University in the National Collegiates, to bring na- tional honors to Ann Arbor.

This arm was just healing from a severe muscle tear. Coach Weber stated yesterday that this week's match with Purdue would not be an easy one, as the Illini could ony beat the Boilermakers, 15-9. But on the other hand Northwestern. which lost to Michigan, 22-8, beat Purdue 16-14, early in the season. Thus if one goes by records we are rive points worsc than the Boiler- makers and 12 points better, which merely proves that one cannot go by comparative scores. Baseball Called Not I portant Congressm1an Asserts Sports Not Necessary By WHITNEY MARTIN NEW YORK, Jan. 21-(4)--Well, maybe sports aren't important. May- be they should be ruled out as Con- gressman Andrew J. May suggests. Maybe they should rule out every- thing that's not important. Let's see, 'where would that leave us? We'd have to quit making beer, and hard likker, and even soft drinks. They aren't essential to health, and if it's wrong for one citi- ze nto sit in a shady grandstand and get his enjoyment from watching a fellow trying to steal home, it must be wrong for another citizen- to get his pleasure swigging beer or sip- ping bourbon at a bar. Movies Not Important We'd have to quit making movies, as they can't be considered import- I ant to the war effort. George Wash- ington's men did all right without movies to take their minds off the fighting. We'd have to disband all the bands, as people can get along without mu- sic, and whistle their own tunes if they want to dance. We'd have to close all the stage shows, as they're not important to the war effort, and some pleasure might be derived fiom them. We'd have to stop publishing fic- tion magazines, and eliminate comics and airy features. People could get along without them. It would be hard, of course, particularly with the comics that have the hero in some precarious predicament at the end of each day's strip but it could be done. All Recreation is Unimportant In fact, coming right down to it practically everything we recognize as recreation is unimportant, so why pick on sports? If they took all the 18-45 men out of other industries based on enter- tainment it might put quite as sharp a crimp in them as in baseball. In the movies we'd still have the dolls, but they'd be playing opposite creaky, reconditioned old codgers trying to take the parts of young blades. Any picture of a dance. band will show you dapper gents still with the gloss of youth, and very few relics of 45 or over. When they get past what might be called the zippy age they seem to go into some other business or go high hat with the philharmonic set. Stage Would Lack Heroes The stage still could present plays I such as "The Women," but it would be in the same position as the mov- ies for its heroes. The rather elusive point to all the above is that baseball should be re- garded as just as important as any other amusement, no more and cer- tainly no less.
