CA LIFORNIA CAPERS!:
Tliinclads Beat Golden Bears
In I tomorouts Track Revival

By GEORGI'. VETTEII
Track seasons have ended in
various ways, but topping off the
indoor. yar with an outdoor meet
takes some sort of prize.
Exactly one week ago, under a
very real and hot sun, the thin-
clads did just that. Competing
right up through the Chicago Re-
lays, the usual layoff was forgone
to train indoors for this Califor-
nia duel. Coach Doherty never
gave more than a wistful glance
at the six foot snow drifts on the
Ferry Field cinders. All outdoor
practice came on the UCLA track
in Beverly Hills or at Hollywood
High School. None of the boys
complained of the surroundings.
Winning the meet was an ac-
complishment. The train-born
stiffness was shaken off, the el-
ements were accepted. There
was a balmy breeze nonchalant-
ly whistling down the hills into
the stadium. And the smiling,
sun bowled over all but the na-
tives. The hardy Northmen from
Ann Arbor watershed were even
dazed by the glare. When this
sunny torpor is added to the
usual lire-race apprehensions,
a jim-dandy combination re-
suits that gives you that "want
to ssleep' feeling.
In fact in the 880, Chuck Low
was first seen to open both eyes
as he whizzed into the lead to
win on the home str~etch. This
may account for the reason that
all newspaper dispatches had Bar-
ten as the winner.
The wind posed a problem. A-
long the run-way, Gene Moody
strung an assorted series of stakes'
looking like the Toonerviile Trol-
ley track. These were his wind
gages, at the end he had a shoe
string flapping around as a wind
sock. With his steps all figured
out for whatever wind blew, he
faced the world with a smug
smirk. Things went hunky dorey
until the wind changed in the
middle of one of his jumps. He
took off all right, but was seen
to spin three times in mid-air,
and to land on his pate on a
grassy hummock.
The 100 yard dash furnished
its share of whimsy. Down in
the holes, the starter called the
sprinter to their marks, shot
the gun, and got them set. Some
few claim they were got set be-
fore the gun went off, but this
is entirely unsubstantiated. At
any rate, it was the fastest

start since last Sadie Hawkins
day. I trust the starter's wife
wasn't too disappointed not to
find his wallet that night as he
was rolled on the track. Val
Johnson's race is all the more
terrific considering he was 10
yards behind when the race
started.
But withal, the team came
crashing through in a fine upset'
victory. All the dopesters had 'M'
at least 10 points down. Conster-
nation reigned in their midst for
they really believed the Golden
Bears better. They weren't chip-
ping their teeth in their prognos-
tications.
As for the trip itself, "ye mighty
men of Michigan" were so wrap-
ped up in thoughts of the coming
Saturday, they were hardly a-
wake. However, as one wag put
it when asked about his time: "in
the words of the Anglicized Pata-
gonian, 'pip-pip'!" No complaints
from a soul. Idyllic harmony
reigned amongst the mighty men.
And from all the rousing discus-
sions held on the way, the most
intelligent concerned the "perdi-
tion of bridge playing."
Mark Abend Plays,
In Billiards MeeL
Mark Abend, chief point-pro-
ducer on the crack Wolverine poc-
ket billiards team which captured
the national title last month, willI
represent the University of Michi-
gan in the "Charles C. Peterson
National Invitational Tourna-
ment" to be held on April 26 at
Purdue University, it, was diloud
yesterday.
Sharp-shooting A bend, who
boasts an aggregate of 87 for 10,
innings of official play, will match
shots with the leading collegiate
pocket billiards stars in the na-
tion. The talented Wolverine
from Detroit is practicing daily
in the Union in order to be in peak
form for the championship coin-
petition.
When informed that he would
have to appear in formal attire
for the Purdue billiards event,
Abend smiled and said, "I don't
think the tuxedo will affect my
game at all."
One passenger in a moving auto-
mobile takes up nearly 25 times as
much street space as does a pas-
senger in a street car or bus.

Fisher To Test latteries
Fisher is anxious to test some
of his untried pitchers and catch-
ers and get a better slant on what1
his players can do under fire be-1
fore Michigan opens its seasont
here next weekend against a pow-
erful Illinois nine. Hence he plansl
to use at least six hurlers and very
likely four backstops in the two
games.f
Freshmen moundsmen Bob Fan-
cett and Bob Hicks will definitely
see action. J. T. White, a fresh-
man ball player, is fairly certain1
to pitch, as well as Art Dale, a1
newcomer with plenty of speed but
little experience who up unti a'
few weeks ago had been an un-
noticed batting practice hurler.
Third Base a Problem
Also due for a workout todayl
are Bud Rankin, Dick Schmidtke,
and Don Heikkinen. Ace mounds-j
man Cliff Wise will not be used
unless he's needed. Behind the
plate Fisher may use Hay Ray-
mond, Fred Capoferi and Walt
Hancock, as well as regular John
Kulpinski.
Another position where Fisher
intends to do some experimenting
is third base where Ted Berce,
Charlie Ketterer, and Willard
Baker will all probably get a work
out.
Stevens Will Pitch
The Tartans will doubtless lead
off in their season opener with
their ace hurler, Ray Stevens.
Wayne is regarded as one of the
best teams in hte area with a
strong pitching staff and batting
attack far improved over last sea-
son's.
It will be the Detroit team's
first official test of the season
while Michigan seeks its sixth
victory against four intercollegi-
ate defeats.

Season Opens
Once again the I-M soft ball
teams will try to get their season
under way this afternoon with the
Independent league games sched-
uled for 2:30 followed by fratern-
ity contests later in the day.
In comparison to the number of
entries in the independent basket-
ball loop the number that turned
up for softball was surprisingly
small. Thirteen squads comprise
the entire league with the Michi-
-an Daily, Michigan Co-op., Rob-
ert Owens Co-op Goosers, Misfits.
and Kilroy A C leading the old
hands.
The overall spring sports plan
for residence halls, fraternity,
and independent groups was
conmleted by the Intramural
staff. Included for each group
is competition in softball, ten-
nis, golf, and horseshoes.
Starting today the fraternity
and independent softball teams
will run through a five game pro-
gram with the finals the follow-
ing week: The dorms have al-
ready played their initial softball
game and have four more to go.
Horseshoes, golf, and tennis will
be worked on the single elimina-
tion basis. If a team loses one
match, it automatically drops
from further competition.
At present Chi Psi leads the fra-
ternity league with a total of
1089 points, followed by Sigma
Chi, last year's champion, and
third place Sigma Phi Epsilon.
Greene House still sets the pace
with 1108 tallies with Lloyd House
trailing in second. The end of
the winter sports season finds
