Slated for This Evening HOGAN'S BAGGAGE Phonec 2-1721 INSURED Over Five Hundred Men Will Compete in 20 Athletic Events McClusky ro Play Merry ir AIll-Camipus Tennis Finals; Trampoline Show Sched ii1 By DICK BURTON One of the outstanding sporting events of the year will be presented to- night at 7:00 when the Department of Intramural Athletics stages its Fif- teenth Annual Open House in the mammoth Sports Building before an ex- pected crowd of 5,000 spectators. The event, which celebrates the opening of the Sports Building in 1913, will feature a galaxy of over 500 athletes participating in 20 indoor and out- door sports. In the main gymnasium the All- campus tennis singles tournament will be played off between Dean Mc- Clusky and Ted Merry, winners of the semi-final matches two weeks ago. Al- though the pair is matched fairly evenly, McClusky wins the nod as fa- vorite for the crown. An exhibition doubles match will be staged at 8:00 when Jack Hersh and Jim Evans team to meet Bill Mikulich and Fred Wel- lington. Two exhibition basketball games will be played when Greene House pits their residence hall champions against the Lloyd House five and, later on in the program, when Phi Rho Sigma, Professional Fraternity League champs, play Delta Sigma Delta. Highlight of the gala sports pag- eant is the gymnastic exhibit to be presented by Newton Lakon and his troupe of trampoline artists from Waterman Gym. In the tank Alex Canja, and "T-bone" Martin will present a div- ing exhibition. Canja and Evans are the number one and number two divers on the varsity swimming team and Martin, a naval returnee, is a letterman from the 1941-42 tank squad. On the ticket for 7:30 will be a fra- ternity swimming meet with Chi Psi vs. Phi Delta Theta, Delta Upsilon vs. Sigma Phi Epsilon and the D.K.E.'s slated to meet Beta Theta Pi. These same fraternities will meet at 9:00 in three water polo battles. Boxing enthusiasts will have a chance to see some of the best ama- teur pugilists in action when Ed Cochrane's group stages five exhibi- tion bouts starting at 7:45. Two ex- Golden Glove champions in the per- sons of Lee Woodruff and Ron So- ble are on the ticket along with the best from Cochrane's boxing group including Morrie Koblenz, Dick Mc- Clure, Don Ayers, Ed Burns, and "Satch" Setomer, North Carolina Pre-Flight School champion. Alternating with these bouts will be two wrstling matches, the first match featuring John Allred and John Dreifus both from the varsity team. Ray Dean and Herb Barnett, lettermen from former Wolverine mat squads, will clown through a takeoff on a professional wrestling match with plenty of grunting and groaning for any blood-thirsty fans. Five badminton matches, the first in the all-campus tournament, are on the card for 8:30 and will be presented in the main gym.

At 8:00 the Ann Arbor YMCA's state champion volley- ball team will battle the Detroit St. Antoine YMCA city champs. Out- standing athlete on the St. Antoine's squad is Jesse Owens,' nationally fa- mous track star. There will be general workouts and exhibits in fencing and weight lifting on the program. A tumbling and gymnastic show will be staged by part of the Waterman Gymnasi- um group in the apparatus room of the Sports Building during the en- tire evening, and at the golf driv- ing nets will be a group from the varsity squad headed by Coach Barclay who will assist anyone wishing to improve his game. Tonight's Open House is the first one to be held since 1942 when the campus military and naval units took over the facilities of the Sports Build- ing for their physical training pro- gram. There will be a meeting of Sphinx, Junior Men's Honorary Society, at 7:15 p.m. Sunday, in the lobby of the Michigan Union, President Dick Fritz announced today. Plans for this semester will be discussed. All members, both active and inactive, are urged to attend. Sprinig Fool/ball PFtice Drills To Shirt April I rinintI erioI iWil Run for Six Weeks If the persistent rumors flooding the Michigan campus have any foun- dation in fact, Coach H. O. (Fritz) Crisler will have a great football team next fall. At one time or another in the past three months many Wolverine greats of the past few years have been re- ported on their way back home to the old alma mater for further schooling and another crack at football. Just how many will actually show up is a mystery to Crisler right now. Spring Practice Starts April 1 Not until April 1 when spring foot- ball practice sessions actually begin will the Wolverine mentor have any idea of what his squad will look like. Crisler hopes that the six-week train- ing period will bring out all prospec- tive gridders. "Unless candidates seeking posi- tions on the 1946 Michigan football squad are prepared to report the opening day and keep up constant at- tendance during spring practice," Crisler stated, "they may find them- selves seriously handicapped next fall." Six-week Period The six-week training period will include about 30 sessions. Practices will be held five days a week. Crisler indicated that the Maize and Blue training table would be limited start- ing with fall practice, Aug. 26, and that insofar as possible, the squad would be selected at the end of spring drills. "With summer practice discontin- ued," Crisler emphasized, "spring practice will provide the best oppor- tunity for individual players to dem- onstrate their ability and to receive the benefits of thorough individual coaching." 100 Tryouts Expected If the spring turnouts comes up to prewar expectations, Crisler will probably have a squad of 100 players on hand. The varsity squad next fall will number from 45 to 48 athletes. Seventeen of last year's varsity group will not be around this year due to the draft, graduation and service transfers. * * * * r T Meet Wayne Wolverines Swamipe ar 4aLrs i Previous Meet with Seven Fists Tonight, Pre-Season I Preview By The Associated Press At Clearwater, Fla.

Coach Matt Mann's Wolverine squad drowned Wayne here last month, 56-28, in a meet which saw the Maize and Blue walk off with seven firsts on the nine-event card. The Tartar's only wins came when their ace, Bill Prew, took both the 50- and 100-yard freestyle sprints. Prew Is Wayne's Threat Prew will present Wayne's only seri- ous challenge again tonight. To op- pose him Mann will probably call on his two sprinters, Dick Weinberg and Charley Fries. Prew defeated both of them last month and has since beat- en Halo Hirose, Ohio State's star, at the 100-yard distance. Detroit Beaten By Indians, 6-5 CLEARWATER, Fla., March 19- (P)--Although outhit 11 to nine, the Cleveland Indians punched across the winning run in the ninth inning here today for a 6 to 5 exhibition game triumph over the Detroit Tigers, the Tribe's third Florida victory over De- troit in three games. With Pat Mullin back at his right field post for the first time since he pulled a muscle in his leg 10 days ago, the Tigers fell behind 4-0 when Cleve- land third baseman Bob Lemon and outfielder Clarence (Soup) Campbell both hoisted homers over the short right field screen in the opening inn- ing off Rookie Lou Kretlow. LEE'S BARBER SHOP for CREW CUTS 611 East University Across from "U" High The Northwestern High School pool with its low ceiling may prove some- what of an obstacle to the divers. Wayne's Bob Gardner will at tempt to get even with Wolverines Ralph Trimborn and Tommy O*Neil off the low board. Gardner is rated very highly in Detroit and may give the Wolverine uo some st il competition. Michigan Favored In Other Events Michigan should have little trouble winning the rest of the events. Mann will draw his other freestylers from Charley Moss, Lou Kivi. Lou Plath, and Charles Barnes in the sprints, and Matt Mann. II, and Neville Adams in the 220- and 440-yard free- style races. In the breast stroke Mann will use Captain Heini Kessler, Bob Sohl, and Bob Matters with Matters probably swimming in the 300-yard medley re- lay. For backstrokers the Maize and Blue will have Matters, Willard Met- calf and Art Johnson. * * At Miami, Philadel.
