11 il IitiG L!.N i)1AILV1 SI 11 JUST KtBITZING 'M' Past Reveals Great Sprinters By DICK KRAUS, DAILY SPORTS EDITOR It's just one day before the Major League baseball season gets un- derway and yet the most frequent topic with the athletic set on this campus is the toll charge for the use of the tennis courts. Why all the furor? Well, suppose out of a clear blue sky you're sitting in the library pouring over a reference book and an atten- dant taps you on the shoulder and says, "twenty-five cents please, for the w?_ar and tear on the book. You know these books all cost money and everytime you use them they deteriorate two bits worth." Suppose, again a professor begins each lecture by collecting a dime for slapping your weight down on the arm rest. The fee is supposed to enable the administration to provide us with full time attendants. As near as I can remember the library has full time attendents without charging extra, Those are the only two reason for the charge which are being bandied about. Perhaps there are others. Maybe the Athletic Ad- ministration is actually on the verge of bankruptcy and all the talk about the successful football season is merely a false front? If that is the case why haven't we been informed? Why hasn't the Administration announced to the student body that the tennis fee was being l-vied and why it was being levied. "hen there is the matter that gripes most of us, that of how the fee is oejng levied-twenty-five cents per hour per person. The nor- mal reaction to this is "why don't they get a gun." A doubles match nets the Administration twice as much as a singles match does. The same area is used but the price for using it is doubled. The next step is the elimination of singles because we don't have sufficient facilities to enable everyone to play, so we'11 have to double up. We are pretty much reconciled to the fact that there isn't much given away for nothing around this place, but we have also felt that our tuition does entitle us to the use of the University's facilities. When it is made clear to us that additional charges are necessary we do not object to them. No one has taken the trouble to make this clear to us. If a tennis court charge is necessary-which remains to be proved-here is an alternate suggestion for the levying of that charge. It could be handAd the way the I-M department handles its allocation of lockers. For a dollar and a half a student gets a loek- er for a semester. If he doesn't have a permanent locker lie may then pay his twenty-five cents for the day, the whole day. The tennis court fee could be charged in the same way. A card or a punch on the student ID card would show that the fee had been paid. As fas as I know, now, no fee is justified, but twenty-five cents an hour is a downright outrage. At those rates tennis players like myself can run up fat bills just chasing tennis balls. Diamond Squads Begin First Week of Conference Games o an Tolan's Mark In Olympies et Unbeaten By BIU WIEDENTHAL If a great sprint star is unveiled at next Wednesday's Daily-spon- sored 100-yard dash contest it won't be any great surprise to those who have followed Michigan track through the years. Wolverine tradition has dated way back to 1904 when a guy named Archie Hahn became the first American double winner in the Olympics. He was good enough to smash all existing records then held in both the 100 and 200 meter dashes. Dlympic Sensation In the '04 Olympics this guy Hahn ran the 100 meters in eleven seconds flat and then came back to run the 200 in 21.6. Hahn started something that was to become a great tradition at Michigan. Only four Americans have ever been double winners in the Olym- pics-three of them have been from Michigan. Besides Hahn there was Ralph Craig who set the world reeling on its heels with his spectacular per- formance in the 1912 games. His 10.8 in the 100 was one of the best performances of his day. Greatest of All Then in 1932 came the greatest Wolverine dashman of them all. Eddie Tolan. The youthful De- troiter seemed to come out of no- where to sweep all opposition aside and claim the title as the world's greatest sprint star. In the 1932 Olympics Tolan set a record in the 100 meter dash of 10.3 seconds that still stands, and his amazing 21.2 in the 200 was equally spectacular. The bespectacled speedster, who looked like anything but a sprint star, also set and still shares the Michigan varsity record in the 100 yard dash of 9.5 seconds. Still Another Star But the Wolverine tradition goes even beyond that-as recently as 136 Sam Stoller was tearing up the cinders as one of America's top sprinters. Although he didn't win the '36 Olympic dashes, he did his country and his school proud. Stoller is co-holder of the Mich- igan varsity 100 yard dash record with Tolan. In '36 Stoller ran into some op- position from the only other American double winner and prob- ably the greatest runner ever to don a track suit, Jesse Owens. Owens not only captured both dashes but also established a new record in the broad jump and ran the low hurdles. In the 1928 Olympics, the Wol- verines were represented by Buck Heser who ran for Canada. No Representative This Time With the approach of the first Olympic games since 1936 it ap- pears unlikely that Michigan will be represented in either of the INTERNATIONAL BALL April 23 All Campus ED TOLAN Michigan's greatest dashes. The famine that started more overwhelming-out of 133 with the parting of Len Alkon, Big Nine dash champion in 1943 is still upon us. Going through its fifth year without an outstanding dashman is something uncommon for the men in Maize and Blue. During the period from 1930 to 1940 the Wolverines grabbed 42 of 150 possible points in the 100 yard dash in Conference meets - the largest total of any school. In the 60 indoors the figures are even points possible the Wolverines took 50. Superiority Unquestioned The next best was Iowa. with 21. Michigan superiority was unques- tioned. With these facts in mind, the Michigan Daily conceived the con- test idea. In support of Michigan tradition and Michigan track su- periority the search to reveal an- other Stoller, Tolan or Hahn has been started. 'M' Matnien Place Five n Distriet Meet Ra~th)l' i11. (11*0i Michigan's grapplers more than held their own when all five of the Wolverine entrants in the dis- trict Olympic tryouts held in IDe- troit last night qualified for the national contest, to be held the last two days tof this month and May 1. Bob Betzig, Maize and Blue entry at 160 pounds was the only one to take first while the other four M' entrants took second in their respective weights. Michigan didn't enter the 115 or the 125- pound classes. Winners in the Sfirst event were John Hancock of State and John Mucho of St. Louis for second. 125 winners were Hudson Tillar of MSC, first, and Jerold Leeman, former NCAA champ who gained the second berth inhis class. In the 136 pound division Jim Smith came out second best with Larry Nelson of the Milwaukee YMCA gaining first. These trials are the ninth regional qualifying matches for the finals for the U.S. Olympic wrestling entries to be decided ini Ames, la., the end of the month. Bob Timmerman, a freshman took second in the 147-lb. battle while Jack Gubbs of St. Louis' 'Y' won the top berth. The grapplers have to take either first or second place in their respective weighits to qualify for the finals. In the 160 Betzig took a first and Gene Gibbons of MSC rated the second spot. The Wolverines didn't enter a contestant in the next weight class, 174 pounds, in which Grabowski of Toledo and Brenka of MSC took first and second respectively. Al DeGillio of the Detroit YMCA took first in the 191 class while another Michigan frosh, Jim Martin fought for the second spot.
