WEDNESDAT, APRIL 3, 194C THE MICHIGAN DAILY Canham, High Jump Ace, Returns as Assistant Track Coach By ALYS (EORGE Returning to the scene of many of his past triumphs, Doti Can- ham, former Wolverine high jump star, has taken up the assistant coaching duties under track mentor Ken Doherty. Since his graduation from Michigan in 1941, Canham has spent a year as track coach at Kankakee College in southern Illi- nois and three years in the army coaching several army air base basketball, baseball and track teams. The wartime elegibility rules have eliminated the usual assistant coach's job of handling the freshman team. Can- ham, therefore, is working with the varsity thinclads and the freshman prospects, who still need a year of seasoning before entering varsity competition. Pointing out that through graduation and the draft the track squad has lost the services of some of its best performers, Canham said that there was a great opportunity for former high school competitors and even Ihose without any track experience, to fill the vacancies that exist in all events. Canham is now worki ig with several good freshnmain pros- pects including James Jackson, a sprinter; quarter-miler James Fluhr, Bill Kuivennen, a middle-distance runner, and high jumper Reed Draper. In Canham, Draper not only has a good coach but a former competitor, whose track career he would do well to follow. When Canham entered Michigan in 1937, he brought with him an outstanding record from Oak Park, Illinois, high school. While there Canham became interested in jumping when, after basketball practice one day, he wandered over to watch the track squad work out. He decided to try his luck at the high jump bar, and with a surprising leap of 5 ft. 6 in. he started on his way to becoming an outstanding high jumper. From that time on, Canham pursued the sport earnestly and his efforts were rewarded in his senior year in high school when he uirtbt 1a h, at Gt v i.ni i t- hiwt Ce iwi ra AU, i meelt Dlaurii ins nhst two years at Mhiclih , Cauhani failed to live up to e-xpeartions. Then Coach Doherty had him change his jump style from a western roll to the straddle style and Canham was on his way to many a victory. Using this jumping style for the first time in competition, Canham broke the Yost Field House record with a leap of 6 ft. 6 3-8 in. This standard did not remain long as Canham topped his own mark with a jump of 6 ft. 6 3/4 in. a few weeks latter, set- ting a Field House record that is still on the books today. ;Daring his third and most successful year of competition at Michigan, Canham copped every high jump title in sight and ended the season undefeated. As a tribute to his skill and per- severence his teammates elected Canham track captain for the 1940-41 season. A big disappointment to both Canham and the whole track squad came in the 1941 outdoor conference championships, when an under-dog Michigan squad striven to ret:in ils Rig Ten t.itle against the onslaught of a powerful Indiana team. Canham, plagued by a leg injury during his final season of competition, bruised his heel in a second attempt to go over the bar at 6 ft. 4 7/8 in. Hobbling over to the sidelines, Can- ham thought he was through for the day, but when he learned that if he and teammate, Wes Allen, placed first and second in the high jump, the Wolverines might have a chance to cop the team title, he determined to make one last try. This time he cleared the bar but his valiant effort went for nought as Allen's best jump was a tie for fifth and his own efforts gave Canham a four way tie for first place. Happy to be back home once again on the Michigan campus, Canham is a'welcome addition to the Wolverine coaching staff. The thin-clads have found their new assistant coach a hard work- ing, persevering mentor, whose own college career sets an excellent example.

Sailors Not Ready Coach Ray Fisher's efforts to schedule contests with Colgate and Great Lakes did not materialize. Col- gate did not have a convenient open date and the Sailors have not yet held their first outdoor practice ses- sions and consequiently are not ready for competition. Meanwhile the Wolverines contin- ued training, with Coach Fisher stressing batting drills. The hitters are still not as far along in the condi- tioning process as the pitchers. Bahlow Switches To Field The only new evelopment in yes- terday's session was Coach Fisher's announcement that Ed Bahlow, first base candidate, was now in the run- ning for a regular outfield berth. In addition to Bahlow, candidates for the disputed outfield position in- clude Paul Veith, Duane McKeachie, Joe Soboleski, and Bob Chappius, who is also a catcher, Jack Weisen- burger and Bob Nussbaumer appears to have the inside track on the other two outfield slots. - Sports Shots Ed Cochrane, intramural boxing instructor, who announced plans for the forthccming boxing tournament last week, has made arrangements for entrants to sign up on the bulletin board in the front hall of the Sports Building or at Waterman Gym- nasium. The tourney which will begin April 30, will be comprised of two divisions, open and novice, with weights rang- ing from 115 lbs. to heavyweights. Applicants must give their name, a - dress, phone number, weight, and division on the entrance sheet and all entries must be in by April 26. Contestants may work out in the regularly scheduled classes held in the afternoons at both Waterman Gymnasium and the Sports Build- ing. A.P. SPORTS FLASHES LEROY WEIR ......Wolverine tennis mentor Netters Begin Outdoor Drills; Team Cut to 16 With spring weather finally here, the 1946 edition of the tennis team began practice sessions on the out- side courts this week with Coach Leroy Weir cutting his squad down, to 16 men, four above the normal li- mit. Squad To Be Ceut Weir expects to lower the mem- bers to the usual 12 by the end of the week. At the present time several doubles combinations are being ex- perimented with to help determine the top three combos who will start in the first meet of the season with Michigan State's Spartans here on April 24. Elimination of the remaining try- outs, and the means of placing the six single contestants for the open- er, is a match ladder. Jack Hersh, returning letterman from last year's squad, is in number one position on the ladder. Seeded in second place is Bill Mikulich, who won his freshman numerals in the sport back in 1942. Wellington Out For Sport Another letterman out for a posi- tion on this year's net squad is Fred Wellington. He was on the team in 1943 and now is in the third slot in the tennis ladder. Number four posi- tion is held by Dean McClusky, re- cently crowned champion in the all- campus singles tourney. &i ''mo Coen Begins Final Training For Louis Bout New York Scene of Championship Fight GREENWOOD LAKES, N. J., April 2-UP)-Challenger Billy Conn, of Pittsburgh, showed his oldtime speed tbday as he opened his permanent training camp for his company heavy- weight title bout with champion Joe Louis in New York's Yankee Stadium on June 19. Looking fit at 190 pounds and huskier than ever before after a month's workouts in Hot Springs, Ark., Conn boxed two fast rounds with lightweight :animy Schipani, also of Pittsburgh. Conn Fast After the workout Schipani, who was picked for his speed, said "Billy never has been faster. His legs are in great shape. I wasn't able to lay a hand on him." Following the two rounds with Schipani, the challenger battered the heavy bag for three minutes, spent a like amount of time on the lighter bag and then went through a body calisthenic routine. Show For Press The workout, staged primarily for the press, took place in a specially constructed ring at one end of a hotel dining room. An out-of-door ring is being constructed and will be used by Conn when the weather warms. He will rema n here until the fight. He will take his first road work to- morrow and will box four or five days a weck during the next month.

A., at its annual meet- ing in New York a few months ago, took the pros rather severely to task for the alleged laxity in observing the rules during wartime. The Masters is the first of the so- called major tournaments to come up since the golfing burgers let fly. Certainly there has been nothing in the practice rounds of recent days to indicate that the boys cannot go right on wrecking par over the 6,800 yard Masters Course.
