THE MICHIGAN DAILY ex etw mps Sarna; Quinte tes Out Vi PAGE SEVEN Letory Cards Sell Cooper for $175,1000 Giants Purchase Star; Brown Sold to Pirates By The Associated Press NEW YORK, Jan. 5-In one of th three biggest money deals in all base- ball history, catcher Walker Coope was sold today by the St. Louis Car- dinals to the New York Giants for $175,000 in cash. Confirming the "most publicizec secret" of the winter season, Giant President Horace Stoneham insisted no players were involved in the dea and that the purchase of Cooper is not contingent on when he is dis- charged from the Navy. He has been in the service since last May 2 and i stationed at Lambert Field, near St Louis. "However, we hope that Cooper will be out of the Navy by April," Stone- ham added, as he was told that new naval ratings have dropped the mini- mum discharge requirements to 35 points. Available records show that only twice before has as much as $175,000 in cash been involved in a player deal. In 1938, the Cards sent pitcher Dizzy Dean to the Chicago Cubs for $185,000 in cash and three additional players. After the 1934 campaign, Washington Senators' President Clark Griffith sent son-in-law Joe Cronin to the Boston Red Sox for Lyn Lary and a sum in cash variously reported anywhere from $150,000 to $250,000. PITTSBIRGH, Jan. 5 - The Pitts- burgh Pirates today announced the purchase of infielder Jimmy Brown from the St. Louis Cardinals for an undisclosed amount of cash. No play- ers were involved in the deal, the club said. Brown, who was recently discharged after two years in the Army, began his Big League career in 1937 with St. Louis,iplaying under Pirate Manager Frankie Frisch, then pilot of the Cards.

Thinclads Drill for Three Way: Meet Feb. 2 Facing the opening meet of the 1946 season four weeks from yester- day, the Michigan track team has spent the first few days of practice after a two week layoff getting back their track legs in preparation for the grueling drills preceding the debut on Feb. 2. The Wolverine track coach, Ken Doherty, fears that kinks that would take weekv: to iron out may delevop in the muscles that have been idle over Christmas if he let his charges rurn all cut so soon after a rest. This week the cinder squad will be- gin a series of tests to determine who will compete for the Maize and Blue in the three way meet against Ohic State and Purdue in the season opener. With three of the four leading con- tenders for the Big Ten Indoor Track Championship competing agains each other in the triangular event, the Wolverines will have to be at their best against the best competi- tibn the Big Ten has to offer.

The visitors won both the 300 yard medley and 499 yard free style relays. All America League Plans Player Draft CHICAGO, Jan. 5-(1P)-Coaches of the newly-organized All-America conference today proposed a "secret" draft of college football stars and at the same time criticized player-selec- tion methods of the long-established, rival National Football League.

Glen Selbo won the game for Michigan with his charity toss in the final minute, and lead Michigan's scoring with 17 points. free throws, and Wolverine forward Bob Harrison, who scored 12 mark- ers. Three baskets and a foul toss by Mroz, and a free throw by Bob Menke put Illinois five points ahead at the end of five minutes. However, Michi- gan came back to tie the match at 14-14, after 12 minutes of the first frame had elapsed. Michigan goals by Baker, Selbo, and Harrison, and Illinois baskets, two by Mroz and one by Bob Doster, added up to a 20-20 deadlock at the end ofusixteen minutes. Mroz sunk another two goals in the remaining Back In Stride? NICE TRY... Walt Mroz lead all scoring last night with 21 points in a valiant effort to give his team the victory. Selbo quickly countered with a set shot from quarter court. The lead changed hands twice and, after eleven minutes the score read 38-38. Strac% sank a basket, to put the Wolverines in the lead, but George Leddy and Van Anderson made a free throw and goal,, to give the Illini the margin. Andersonput in another goal and gift shot, and Jack Burmaster scored a goal, but Michi- gan countered with three two-point- ers. With the score at 48 apiece, and the game almost ended, Selbo sank the free throw which handed the Wolverines their sixth victory of the season. WINNER OF 10 WORLD'S FAIR . GRAND PRIZES, 2 8 GO0L D M ED A LS AND MORE HONORS FOR ACCURACY THAN ANY OTHER TIMEPIECE I mzl SHED no tears just yet for the Michigan swimming team, its 43-41 loss to Great Lakes in its first dual outing of the season to the contrary. The Sailors may have beaten Matt Mann's latest edition of Wolverine tank talent, but we will wager a considerable sum that very few other teams turn the trick the rest of the season. And we include this same Great Lakes squad, which will entertain the Michigan natators next weekend at the Naval Base. Michigan's 1945-46 swimming team is a young team, composed mostly of first-year men who are still in the improving stage. Their times for this early in the season were, for the most part, very good. With almost no exceptions,"every man on the squad will be clipping fractions of seconds and full seconds off those times before many more meets are entered in the record books. And when they do, the opposition can watch out. in Dick Weinberg, the former Saginaw High star, Mann has one of the finest looking sprint freestyle prospects to turn up in quite awhile. Wein- berg's last leg of the 400-yard relay, done in :52 flat, is conclusive evidence that he is ready to swim in the big time. THEN there is the apple of the veteran coach's eye, yioung Matt Mann 111, who looks like the class of the field in the distance events. The younger Mann was more than impressive as he copped both the 200 and 440-yard freestyle races with plenty to spare. For the first time in many years, Mann has dug up some real strength off the diving board. His trio of Al Canja, Gil Evans, and Ralph Trimborn will bring plenty of points into the Michigan scoring column. Bob Matters looked very good in the breaststroke leg of the medley relay, though he did not swim in the 200-yard breaststroke. Team Capt. Heini Kessler and Bob Sohl should also come along. But the main thing to be noted in the Great Lakes' meet was the rapid improvement made in the time department since the state AAU champion- ships three weeks ago. That improvement, we think, will continue. Which is why we say that 1946 can easily be another banner year for Matt Mann and the Michigan swimming team. ILLINOIS Boster, F. Mroz, F. Menke, C.
