WELL MANNED:
Matt Mann Begins 23rd
Year as 'M' Tank Coach
By MiiAY GRANT
If the experts are correct, Mich-
igan swimmers will make up at
least one-third of the United
States contingent to the 1948
Olympic Games, but the man di-
rectly reponsible for this repre-
sentation, Matt Mane, Wolverine
swimnin g coach, will not he lead-
1g his ci .ares a the other
American strs when the Olympics
come up.
Instead 1301) Kiphuth of Yale,
who has one possible nominee to
the squad, will head the American
mermen, while Mike Peppe of Ohio
State will coach the divers. It's
true that Kiphuth has turned out
some fine teams and a few great
stars, but when a comparison of
the careers of Kiphuth and Mann
is made, the records show that
Mann has consistently turned out
teams and swimmers far superior
to Kiphuth -coached aggregations.
During the past ten years
Mann has coached 5 National
champs and his other five teams
have placed second. In the same
period Yale has annexed two
championships and has placed
in the second slot twice.
It isn't by any mistake, there-
fore, that almost all the swimming
experts call Matt Mann "the
greatest swimming coach in the
world." And to the men he's tu-
tored Matt is more than a great
coach, he's "the finest person I've
ever known. He's a great guy and
there isn't anything he wouldn't
do for one of us." These comments
came from Bob Sohl, and are only
typical of the attitude of his
squads.
Matt was born in Leeds, Eng-
land in 1884 and before the turn
of the century he had amazed the
world by - consistently turning in
clockings of around 1:05 for the
100-yard freestyle at a time when
experts were claiming that a one-
minute 100-yard freestyle was im-
possible.
He came to this continent in
1905 when he settled in Toronto
and two years later was hired as
coach of the Buffalo Y.M.C.A.
natators. le moved to Brook-
line, Mass. next and, in addition
to leading his Brookline mermen
to the National Interscholastic
Championships three years run-
ning, he found time to coach the
Harvard University swimming
teams of 1913-15, and turn out
some fiine aggregations.
Mann's next post was coach of
the New York Athletic Club swim-
mers in 1916 and at the same time
he turned around and coached
Harvard's arch rivals, the Yale
swimmers to three very successful
seasons.
After the war he moved west
and became coach of the Detroit
A.C. swimmers, which post he held
until the end of 1924. In January
of 1925 he came to Michigan and
this season marks his 23rd year as
Wolverine mentor, thus making
him second only to Ray Fisher in
length of service.
In his third season Matt
guided his charges to both the
Western Conference and Na-
tional crowns and since that
time he has chalked up 15 Con-
ference championships and 12
National titles for a recdrd un-
matched by any one coach or
any one team.
Michigan has become one of the
powers of the swimming world un-
der Mann's able tutelage and until
Ohio State's diving dynasty came
into being no one could seriously
challenge the might of Matt
Mann's Wolverines.
Three Athletes
Invited To Join
Honor Society
Throwing out of kilt the idea
that athletes are muscular and
not mental giants, three Wolver-
ines, Mack Suprunowicz, George
Sutherland, and Jim Atchison
were invited to join Phi Eta
Sigma, national freshman hon-
orary society for high scholastic
standing.
Asna freshman last year, Supro-
nowicz led the Michigan cagers
in scoring and placed fifth in the
Conference with 163 points. Hon-
ored with a berth on the Free
Press All-Conference first team
and United Press second squad,
the high scoring forward was vot-
ed "most valuable player" by his
teammates.
Has 3.5 Average
In classrooms, the Schenectady
lad rated a 3.5 average for his
studies in mechanical engineering.
One of the reasons for his top-
notch record is Coach Ozzie
Cowles' insistence that his cagers
maintain a good record for elig-
ibility.
Another student in the School
of Engineering, George Suther-
land has been mentioned favor-
ably for his work on the freshman
baseball aggregation last spring
and frosh eleven this fall, while
scholastic activities produced an
amazing 3.9 average.
High School Star
A product of Montclair, N.J.,s
home of Assistant Athletic Direc-
tor Ernie McCoy, Sutherland won
high school letters as an outfield-
er and stellar end, filling the same
positions for Michigan. He com-
peted against brother Supruno-
wicz in the baseball outer gar-
dens.
The last of the trio, Jim Atchi-
son, is pointing toward a degree
in Engineering School and a place
on the Wolverine line. This sea-
son he saw action as a tackle on
the Jayvee squad.

Faculty representatives from
the Big Nine schools will make
their final decision as to who
should be the Conference choice
for Rose Bowl Saturday night
when the season comes to an
end, he said.
Inasmuch as the Wolverines
clinched the Big Nine crown rout-
ing Wisconsin 40-6 Saturday, it is
almost certain in all quarters that
the Maize and Blue will be heading
for Pasadena around Christmas
time to play in the famed Tourna-
ment of Roses on New Year's Day.
Football fans have been both-
ering Don Weir, Wolverine tick-
et manager, for ducats to the
Rose Bowl. But Weir, like Cris-
ler, has asserted that "it would
be presumptous on our part at
the present time to announce
definite plans as to how the 11,-z
000 tickets will be allocated."
Crisler announced that Michi-
gan will scout the California-
UCLA game this Saturday. The
outcome of this all-important bat-
tle may decide the Pacific Coast
representative at the Rose Bowl.
The Wolverine gridmaster is
apparently more concerned with
Saturday's home clash with Ohio
State, an injury-riddled squad all
season long.
"But they will probably be in
their best physical shape this
Saturday," declared Crisler."
"They have some pretty good
backs. G e n e Sensenbaugher,
returned to the line-up Satur-
day against Illinois. Jack Whis-
ler was ready to play against
Illinois too, but he didn't."
Scouting reports indicate that
the Buckeyes have a big line, and
Do You Know ... that Mich-
igan, since 1930, has never fin-
ished worse than second in
Western Conference swimming
meets and that the Wolverines
have won the championship 15
times in Big Nine history, six
more than their closest rival.
a lot of rivalry thrown into this
game," warned Crisler. "And any-
thing can happen."
The Wolverine coach was lav-
ish in his praise of the Wolver-
e squad that swamped the
Badgers. le particularly liked
the cool, relaxing play of his
boys.
'Quarterback Yerges really
knows how to call 'em," continued
Crisler. "His performance Satur-
day was a masterpiece."
Michigan's only casualty in the
Wisconsin battle was fullback
Dick Kempthorn, who re-injured
his knee. He will probably be side-
lined for the Ohio State game,,
Crisler said.
In the opinion of Crisler, one
of the chief reasons for Michi-
gan's roaring success over Wis-
consin Saturday was the excel-
lent scouting job of Ernie Mc-
Coy, the Wolverine's chief spy.
McCoy, who scouted the Badgers
in three games this year, brought
back a clever batch of notes con-
cerning the Badgers' offensive and!
defensive play after each contest
he witnessed.
The only Badger maneuver that
really caught the Wolverines by
complete surprise was the reverse
play used by Wisconsin in scoring
its lone touchdown, said Crisler. It
was the first time the Badgers
used that play this year, he added.
Incidentally, the Michigan-Wis-
consin game marked the first time
that McCoy has had the opporun-
ity to see the Wolverines in action
this year.
Red Sox Get
Vern Ste phens
From Browns
BOSTON Nov. 17-(AP)-The ac-
quisition of shortstop Vern (Jun-
ior) Stephens and right handed
pitcher Jack Kramer from the St.
Louis Browns for seven players
plus undisclosed cash, estimated at
from $50,000 to $100,000, today
highlighted Joe Cronin's first pub-
lic appearance as general manager
of the Boston Red Sox.
Smiling broadly and apparently
highly pleased with his new job in
owner Tom Yawkey's front office,
Cronin told baseball writers that
the Browns gain immediate pos-
session of infielder Eddie Pella-
; gini, catcher Roy Partee, both
with the Red Sox last season, and
pitchers Jim Wilson, Al Widmar
and outfielder Pete Layden, mem-
bers of the Louisville American
Association farm team.
Cronin added that two other
Red Sox hirelings will be turned
over to the Browns later. He re-
fused to discuss the cash involved
but in St. Louis, Bill Dewitt, the
Browns' general manager, de-
scribed it as "a substantial
amount."
