THE MICHIG DAILY I-M NEWS 11 Gymnasts Board Recognition Bandwagon - ,- w-a-g--n- A survey of the point chart at the Intramural Building indicates that Chi Psi is leading the fra- ternity loop in athletic activities to date with Sigma Chi and the Sig Eps holding down second and third slots respectively. In netting 619 first place points Chi Psi snagged the out- door track and volleyball titles and advanced close to the finals in every other sport entered. Onla two point difference sep- arates the Sig Eps from the runner-up Sigma Chi boys, and either one has a chance to pull into the lead before the close of the spring campaign. All three fraternities are on the top of the heap in their basketball leagues and have entered the sec- ond round of the bowling and pad- dieball tournaments which have just gotten underway. In the re- maining frat hoop leagues Psi U. and Alpha Delta Phi head the pa- rade. A glimpse at the dormitory cir- cuit finds Green House leading the dorms in total point standings, but beitrg pushed by the West Quad athletes of Lloyd House. Greene The Sports Building is open from 9 a.m. to 9 p.m. The swimming pool from 10 'til 12 in the mornings, in the after- noons from 2 'til 4, and in the evenings from 7:30 'til 9. House boasts a 4-0 basketball rec- ord and is a virtual shoo-in for the top' spot in one league, while Allen Rumsey is clinging to the lead in the other. Residence hall swimming, water polo, and bowling tour- neys begin the second chapter this week, as table tennis cul- minates with a championship Play-off match that Lloyd House is favored to take in view of the fact that they went undefeated in regular competition. The independent basketball standings find Michigan Christian Fellowship and the Rebels sharing top honors in the initial loop and the Goosers, and Misfits, at the head of their divisions. In the fourth league the Rangers and West Lodgers are tied for first. Spring (?J Baseball D rj lills Begin Toda By JACK MARTIN With athletic expansion given the official go-ahead here re- cently, several quarters have been exploring the possibilities of mak- ing gymnastics a varsity sport. Few will dispute that the Gym- nastic Club-which has made basketball halftimes an evening highlight this year - is good enough to represent Michigan as a team. Yet they remain only a club. Their contortions on the flying rings, parallel bars, and mats have brought acclaim from not only Ann Arbor crowds, but from groups all over the Midwest. Other Schools Have Teams With gymnastic teams at Illi- nois, Minnesota, and other Big Nine schools, and a Conference championship meet scheduled for March 15, it puts Michigan in a bad light if the Wolverines con- tinue to ignore the sport. M1 Iilliard Squad To Play Tonight At 7 p.m. this evening, pool parlor enthusiasts will see the "U" billiards team match talents in straight rail opening competition with 26 other colleges and univer- sities throughout the nation. Actual play, however, will be held on home campuses with re- sults of each affair being tele- phoned into the Billiards Associ- ation of America sponsors of the program. Michigan a member of the New England and Eastern Section, fin- ished second in their league last week in the initial round of pocket billiards. Ohio State clicked with 510 points for loop honors, 37 points ahead of the second-place Wolverines. Further play in poc- ket billiards will be resumed on March '6. In the 20-inning straight rail. competition tonight, Tom Slattery will lead the determined Wolver- ines-Herb Roche, Jim Mummey, Roy Hiscock, and "Corky" Cor- man. Alternates are Andy Sulli- van and Joe Soboleski. Prof. Harry C. Carver, of the mathematics department, will serve as referee tonight, and Don Krueger as official score-keeper. Michigan hasn't always ignored it. Before 1933 there was a reg- ular varsity gymnastics squad coached by Wilbur "Bill" West. When the depression hit, it was discontinued along with fencing in the University's economy drive. The depression is over, and in view of the University's extensive building program it seems there is no economy drive hindering its reorganization. West Leading Figure West is one of the country's leading Ihui s i) gymnastics. Au-I thor of a widely used book, 'Ahe Gymnastic Manual, he left Mich- igan after his sport vas eliminat-j ed and is currently a physical ed- ucation professor at Western Michigan. When he left here, he declared that the. biggest draw-, back to gymnastics at the Uni-, versity was the failure of highi schools in this area to st re& the sport in their programs.

Eddie Mayo Shines In Tiger Workout LAKELAND, Fla., Feb. 25-(P) -Second baseman Eddie Mayo, sidelined during most of the 1946 season with an ailing back, stole the show as the Detroit Tigers went through the second spring training workout today. "He looks great doesn't he" Steve O'Neill boomed jubilantly. "I think he looks even faster than he did before and that won't hurt any either." After the workout, Mayo confided that he feels bet- ter this spring than he has for the past five seasons, Ray Fisher, the dean of Michi- gan's coaching staff, will inaugur- ate spring baseball practice this afternoon at Yost Field House. Although many potentially val- inble arms have already been loo'ened upby hours of intensive drill the bu tflk of the squad will see its initial action today in the newly erected pitching and batting nets. All tryouts are welcome, of course. With practice officially inaug- urated the Wolverine mentor will be faced with the immediate problem of getting his squad into shape for its first Southern trip in five years. The renewal of the trip this, year should serve as a yardstick in measuring the potentialities of the 1947 edition of Wolverine baseball. The Michigan nine opens its ten game Southern schedule against the University of Maryland at Col- lege Park, Maryland, on April 4th and will play a game a day through April 12th, concluding the trip against Virginia Military Institute at Lexington, Va. Coach Fisher looks forward to the southern trip with a good bit of concern. "We will be very lucky to get any time at all to practice outside before the trip; possibly a week or two, but no more." "Our opponents will be well polished from several weeks of intensive outdoor practice and cE should give us plenty of ti Ray Fisher is talking frc perience.
