I wonder how Dick's boxer - the one he acquired from President Ruthven -- likes the Florida sunshine???? Dick is one of' the lads Red Rolfe is counting on. to bring the American League pennant to the Motor City ... Red is opti- mnistic about the coming seasons, but so are Casey Stengel, Connie Mack, Lou Boudreau and Joe McCarthy ... And if last ;year's per- formances have any bearing on the outcome'of the 1949 race, Red will sooni wish he were back at the hot sack for the Brtonx Rombers. GLENN DAVIS, ARMY'S "Mr. Outside," reports that he would be happy to coach at West Point. There has been no official word on Davis' Army future, but Red Blaik, head grid mentor at the Hudson River service school, has indicated that Davis would be a welcome addition to Army's coaching staff .. . Davis is at Fort .Dix, New Jersey, where he will play for the Far East (Korea) Command cage team in the All-Army basketball tournament, beginning tomorrow. Branch McCracken was cornered by an avid follower of the Indiana basketball team recently and the following conversation ensued between the Hoosier cage coach and the fan: "Why lid they call a technical foul on Indiana in the game last night?" "Indiana had too many meni on the floor," McCracken replied. "Oh, is that right--who was the sixth man?" "Me~" said Branch, with a'slight blush. AFTER FOLLOWING MICHIGAN'S hockey team through to the first national championship provided for by the National Collegiate Athletic Association last year, I can't help but wonder how the Wol- verines will'farc next week when they make their title (defense out at Colorado Springs, Coo. The difference between last year's aggregation and the present club is phenomenal. Michigan's passing in the last five or six games has been a thing of beauty and the defense, in spite of the loss of Ross Smith, has been just about unbeatable, Goalie Jack McDonald has been having quite a. time for himself in the nets. Some of the saves hie cameetup with in the latter part of the season were unbelievable. With the experience coach Vic Heyliger has given to this team, it seems hard to believe that the 'Wolverines will not breeze to their second national crown by next Saturday night. The sports publicity director at Colorado College informs mne that Michigan is again favored this year. Host to the four teams --Boston College, Dartmouth, Colorado College and Michigan- the Broadmoor Hotel last year provided limosine service from the Springs railroad station to the hotel. One of the chauffers told a few members of the Michigan team, "Well, I guess you're i. I took the Dartmouth boys up to the hotel yesterday and they all but conceded. They seemed pretty dejected; I guess because they lost to Toronto on the way out here." (Michigan had beaten and tied the Canadians in two earlier games.) The chauffer went on to say that he had bet ten dollars on thck utcome ofv the, tourney with a fellow driver. He was a happy mean when lie drove the victorious Wolverines to the airport the morning after the crov n was presented to Michigan's 19483 captain, Connie Hill. Waving a ten spot, at the boys, he yelled. "See you next year and thanks!~" Michigyan Dity Confer'ence Scribes Pick gluepy, IIUITisolEI Wolver incerager Bob flu rison, who made the AP' All-Conferene team last week, was relegated to the second squad by the Big Nine sports writers in their poll of the league's best.
