CHUCK FRIES
of Gooher Victor Rotering in the
gruelling 440 freestyle race.
Minnesota registered itsonly two
triumphs of the afternoon in the
fancy diving competition and the
220-yard breaststroke. In the former
event, Vernon Ruotsalainen, Gold and
Brown springboard star, captured the
first place booth. Ruotsalainen, who
placed second in last years Big Ten
championships, gave an expert dem-
onstration of springboard skill and
compiled a total of 318.3 points in
the process to place ahead of Minne-
sota's Wayne Perrult and Wolverine
:stalwart, Ulysses Lopez.
Ojempa Takes Breaststroke Event
Vernon Ojempa, Gopher speedster,
easily captured the breaststroke tilt
in 2:34.8, to garner Minnesota's only
other first place. Conference Champ
Heini Kessler was not able to com-
pete in this event because of illness.
Consequently, Coach 'Matt Mann,

PHILADELPHIA, Feb. 10-()-
Jimmy Foxx, 37, formerly one of
baseball's leading home run hitters,
today signed a one-year contract
with the Philadelphia Phillies.
Road secretary Jimmy Hagen said
terms of the contract have not been
announced.
a Foxxibegan his long career in Phil-
adelphia with the Athletics in 1925.
He was traded to the Boston Red
Sox in 1935 and moved to the Chi-
cago Cubs in 1942-his first entry
into the National League. He quit
organized baseball altogether in 1943
and played only a short time last
season.
The Cubs listed Foxx as a coach
and scout on this year's roster and
then released him when he said he
wanted to play again.

Maize and Blue swimming mentor,
pulled the surprise of the meet by
entering freesyler Chuck Fries.
Although Fries was Michigan state
high school champion in that event,
he never swam it in college competi-
tion. Nevertheless the Wolverine stal-
wart managed to take second place
and was followed by Minnesota's 16-
year-old entry, John Hollingshead.1
As usual, Michigan drew first blood
by sewing up the 300-yard medley
relay in 3:09.5, with the team of Ed
Fulkman, backstroker, Ralph Chubb,
breaststroker, and Charlie Higgins.
freestyler. Fulkman gained an early
lead which Chubb, swimming a beau-_
tiful race, held against the powerful
Ojempa, and anchor man Higgins
had no trouble in clinching the win-
ners honors for the Maize and Blue.
Fries Wins 50-Yard Racej
In the 50-yard clash Fries just
managed to nose out teammate Bob
Mowerson in :24.3. Mowerson, vet-
eran of South Pacific action, was a
member of the championship Michi-
gan crews of 1935, '36 and '37, and is
now working for his master's degree
Gopher Bob Jones took the third
place position in this event.
Wolverine John Zimmerman fin-
ished second to Church in the 223
encounter while the third place slot
was captured .by a Minnesota man,
Victor Rotering. Dick vans and Bill
Gray, both of the Gold and Brown,
finished two and three respectively
in the 100-yard contest.
Michigan's number one back -
stroker, Pulford, churned to an easy
victory in that encounter, recording
the time of 1:48. Teammate Harry
Westerberg, young Wolverine hope-
ful, was just nosed out in the last lap
by Rohland Tomssen, who took sec-
ond place honors.
Zimmerman Wins
Following up Zimmerman, who reg-
istered the 440-yard winning time of
5:26, were Gophers Rotering and
Bob Pringle. Zimmerman, a first-
year man on the Michigan squad,
finished a full two lengths of the
pool ahead of his nearest opponent.
The final event of the afternoon.
the 400-yard freestyle relay, was won
handily by the Wolverine team of
Bill Breen, Pulford, Higgins and
Mowerson, in 3:44.6, to garner the
final eight points of the meet for
the Maize and Blue.

Government Officials
D; ;,cuss Possibility of
O Victory (ircits
By BUS HAM
1 t,.rctted Press Correspondent
WASHINGTON, Feb. 10-Virtual
wartime abandonment of the present
big-league setup and replacement by
an East-West alignment in order to
save transportation was suggested to-
day by government officials.
This much was made definite-
something must be done by baseball
to shave off millions of man-miles of
travel.
It was estimated that under such
a plan, roughly 2,000,000 passen-
ger miles could be saved by the
Major Leagues alone and many
times that amount by Minor
Leagues.
This development came while
baseball leaders apparently were
weighing the possibility their man-
power difficulties might be eased by
continued war - successes against
Germany.
Col. J. Monroe Johnson, Defense
Transportation Director, recently
wrote baseball writers at their annual
dinner in New York:
I believe the transportation needs
of the clubs should be reviewed and,
if at all possible, cut down to an even
lower level than last season.
"I am sure that the very capable
leaders of baseball can, if they get
their heads together, devise ways and
means so that baseball can continue
with a very minimum burden on
transportation."
The geographical plan had no
agency sponsorship but was widely
discussed among individual officials.
It would set up two "victory"
leagues of four national and four
American league teams in the East-
ern division and a like number in
the Western half.
This would save the long East-I
eWest hauls, and by utilizing boat
transportation, enable baseball to
cut its travel 1,965,910 passenger
miles.
Government friends of baseball said
that the game's leaders may as well
be prepared to face this additional
restriction, and one commented:
"Baseball has proved one of the
best travel deterrents by keeping
people in bleacher seats instead of
train seats, and almost everybody in
government wants the sport to con-
tinue.

Special to The Daily
MINNEAPOLIS, Feb. 10-Michi-
gan's defending conference wrestling
champions finished a very difficult
dual meet season yesterday as they
scored the second straight tie of the
year, this time against Minnesota's
Gophers, 14-14.
Getting away to a fast lead, the
Wolverines appeared to be on the
way to their fourth win of the year,
but the Gophers caught up and suc-
ceeded in overtaking them in the
last match.
Sachsel Wins
Art Sachsel, Wolverine 121-pound-
er, got back to his winning ways as
he scored a quick fall over Nick
Togami, in 4:38. Bob Johnston
quickly followed this up with an 11-4
decision over Bill Fritz. This was
Johnston's fourth win of the season.
and shot the Maize and Blue into a
strong 8-0 lead.
Undefeated Joe Eastling, Gopher
1d6-pounder, put Minnesota back into
the match as he snapped Newt Skill-
man's winning streak at three by
a 9-7 decision.j
Fred Booth then increased the
Wolverine lead to 11-3 as he deci-

sioned Bob Jensen, 145-pounder, 9-3.
Booth thus returned to the win col-
umn after a three-week famine.
Darrow Downed
Dick Nelson, undefeated in five
matches thus far this season, main-
tained his unblemished record by
decisioning George Darrow by the
score of 6-2. The meet at this time
stood 11-6 in favor of Michigan.
The Gophers crept up to within
two points of the Wolverines as Ed
Baker, 165-pound threat, scored a
9-4 decision over Charles Telfer.
Reliable Jim Galles shot Michigan
back into a substantial 14-9 lead
when he scored his sixth consecutive
win of the year in the 175-pound
class. Galles scored a decisive 9-2
win over Chuck Loudjeff.
Aldworth Ties Up Match
In the last match of the afternoon,
Bill Aldworth gave t4ie Gophers a
much-needed fall to tie the match
at 14-14. Aldworth, a letterwinner
last year, scored a fall over spunky,
162-pound Phil Holcombe in 4:01.
Thus the match ended in a 14-14
deadlock.
