Three Matmen
Hirsch To Play
Pro Football
MADISON, Wes,, March 21-(k'--
Elroy (rzy Legs ii b, University
of Wisconsin halfback who starred at
Michigan and the El Toro (Calif.)
Marine base after he entered the Ma-
rine Corps, has decided to play pro-
fessional football, Badger athletic di-
rector Harry Stuhldreher said today
after a long-distance telephone con-
ference with Hirsch.
"Harry, I'm going to play pro ball,"
Stuhlidreher said the Wausau, Wis.,
ace told him.
John Keeshin, owner of the Chi-
cago Rockets, announced some time
ago that Hirsch, now a lieutenant,
had agreed to play with Keeshin's All-
America Football conference entry,
but Stuhldreher said after a talk with
Hirsch that the 1942 mainstay would
return to school.
THE WORLD'S MOST
WINNER OF 10 World's
Wolverines Defend Purdue
Re lays Crown To
Illinois Is Favored To Capture Title;
Several Meet Records Slated To Fall
iorrow
By JACK MARTIN
Michigan's track squad departs at
.1:15 p.m. today for Lafayette, Indi-
ana, where it will clash with some of
the strongest teams in the Midwest
in the fourth annual Purdue Relays at1
the Boilermaker fieldhouse Saturday
night.
A total of 24 men will make the
trip, Coach Ken Doherty has an-
nounced. When asked for comments
on the meet, Doherty smiled and re-
marked, "We're not going down to
play marbles!"
HONO N0IRED W A T C H
The Wolverines have good quartets
entered in all four relay events. They
are determined to try for titles in at
least three of the four. The time
schedule of the events makes it nearly
impossible to capture all of them.
Illini Meet Choice
Most of the competition will be fur-
nished by Michigan, Illinois, and
Notre Dame. The Illini appear to be
pre-meet favorites due to outstand-
ing strength in individual events, but
the Wolverines emerge as a definite
threat.
Michigan is favored to win the first
rclay event, the two-mile, with plenty
of good, half-milers on hand to do
the job, including Herb Barten, re-
cent winner of the Big Ten half-mile,
Archie Parsons, third in the same
race, Bob Thomason, place winner in
Conference, Chuck Low, and Bob and
Ross Hume. Notre Dame is expected
to furnish the chief competition with
its distance aces, Bill Leonard and
Ed Tully.
Notre Dame Strong
The distance medley is likely to be
a fight between the Wolverine en-
tries and Notre Dame. Fred Jones
will probably run the quarter-mile
position for the Irish, Tully the three-
quarters, and Leonard the mile. Avail-
able to the Wolverines for these dis-
tances are several men, including
Hugh Short, Bill Haidler, Horace
Coleman, Val Johnson, Ross Hume,
Barten, Parsons, Bob Hume and
Thomason.
One of the features of the evening
will be the sprint medley where Mich-
igan and Illinois are expected to stage
a duel for the crown. If the Illini en-
ter the strongest quartet possible they
have a potential record-breaking out-
fit. The mark is 3:25.1, set by Great
Lakes in 1945. Marce Gonzales, who
reportedly ran a 48 flat quarter in
the Big Ten mile relay recently, could
run the first three-lap leg, Bill Mathis
and Jack Pierce could pair off the
short dashes, and Herb McKerley
could take the half.
Relay Mark Threatened
However, the sprint medley comes
just before the mile relay, and Gon-
zales and McKenley are mainstays of
the Illini team at this spot. Michigan
has several men they can place in the
crucial first and last legs, such as
Short, Coleman, Johnson, Parsons,
and Barten.
The mile relay is likewise a choice
between Illinois and the Wolverines,
with the Illini ranking favorite. Coach
Johnson's quarter-milers raced away
with the relay in the Conference meet
recently in 3:21.2. The Purdue record
is 3:22.6, set by Illinois in 1945.

Three Matmen
Enter NCAA
Routs Tonight
Keen Pieks Courtright,
Smith, Kopel for Meet
By CHUCK LEWIS
Three members of Michigan's wres-
tling team, Captain Bill Courtright,
Wayne Smith, and Dick Kopel left
yesterday for Oklahoma A & M Col-
lege in order to compete in the Na-
tional Collegiate Athletic Associa-
tion's annual wrestling tournament to
be held with the preliminaries tonight
and the finalists tangling tomorrow at
Stillwater.
The NCAA always brings together
the finest wrestling talent in college
circles each year with this as no ex-
ception. The best competition will
probably be provided by the contes-
tants from the Western Conference
schools with the aggregation of the
host college also providing a good
number of contestants.
Courtright Is Mainstay
Michigan is represented in the
three men that Coach Cliff Keen has
selected to go to the Nationals. The
mainstay of the Maize and Blue's sea-
son was Captain Courtright. He
started the 1946 campaign in the 165-
pound division, but in middle of the
season's competition was transferred
to wrestle at 155 pounds. Courtright's
record for the year's dual competition
was six wins against one lone defeat.
This loss was at the hands of Illinois'
colorful 165-pounder, Dave Shapiro,
who, incidentally, is also expected to
give an excellent performance this
week-end.
Courtright won the Big Ten's 155-
pound crown, and in doing so, set an
unusual record of pinning all four of
the opponents that faced him in the
toulrnament.
WayneSmith, Michigan's other
Conference champion, will wrestle in
the 136-pound class. Smith also
started the season in a higher bracket,
but trimmed himself down to grapple
at 136 pounds after the season had
progressed considerably. His main
triumph of the year came when he
returned to mat competition after be-
ing out for two weeks as a result of an
operation. This is when Smith won
the Western championship at 136
pounds.
Kopel Is Outsanding
Dick Kopel, the other Wolverine
contestant, returned to competition
immediately after getting discharged
and coming back to school. He hadn't
wrestled in college circles in three
years but rose to the occasion of the
Michigan State meet and won his
match. Kopel will grapple at 121
pounds in the NCAA.
The Aggies, who are holding the
meet for the first time in their history,
are defending champions. They have
won the team titles in 13 of the 15
times that the meet was held.

MSC Whips Georgia
ATHENS, Ga., March 21 - (P) -
With Keith Steffee hurling three-hit
ball and Michigan State hitters
breaking out in, a 15-hit rash, the
Spartans walloped University of
Georgia 16 to 1 here today on their
southern baseball swing.
Catcher Bucky Walsh led MSC with
four singles in five times at bat as
nine Spartans hit safely at least once
each and Martin Hansen banged out
a sixth inning home run with nobody
on base.

With a turnout of 45 candidates,
probably the largest in Michigan golf
history, Coach Bill Barclay faces a
tough job in selecting his five-man
team in the month before the Wol-
verines' April 20 opener here with
Michigan State.
Although inconsistent weather has
prevented the squad from holding
any outdoor sesions, Barclay has had
them working out in the Sports
Building. There he is ironing out

wiikles in their iriving by watch-
ing them hit balls into the driving
nets.
A few members of the squad were
able to get in some actual play on
the Municipal course last week-end
and Barclay hopes to have them all
practicing on the University links
about April 1.
Three Veterans Return
The only three men with any pre-
vious experience at Michigan golf
teams are Dunc Noble, Bill Court-
right, and Harry Jung. Noble played
on the 1944 squad while Courtright
played here in 1943. Jung was a
member of the 1941 freshmen squad.
Other promising prospects on the
squad are Roger Kessler, Michigan
high school chiampion last year, fete
Elliott, football and basketball star
who won the Trueblood Tournament
last summer and Dave Barclay and
Bob Muir, both of whom have had
considerable golf experience before
coming to Michigan.
Despite the large size of the squad,
Coach Barclay urges/ all men still
interested in trying out to report any
week-day afternoon to the golf driv-
ing room in the Sports Building.
,itry lio ig Ten
Michigan State College is virtually
assured at least one vote when its ap-
plication for admission to the Western
Conference is considered by Big Ten
faculty members at their May meet-
ing.
Law Prof. Ralph Aigler, the Uni-
versity's Conference committeeman'
declared last night, "I have the same
favorable attitude toward that insti-
tution's application as Coach Fritz
Crisler." Crisler was quoted in yes-
terday's Daily stating that he would
like to see MSC admitted.
He indicated that there is feeling
on the part of some committeemen
that a nine-school conference is big
enough. State, Pittsburgh, and Notre
Dame have applied for entrance in
the past.
