OAC i THE MICHIGAN DAILY BULL SESSION by b. s. brown, sports editor inksmen MacCallum Tops for '-M';* Titans' Koesis Shoots 73 Schalon, Olson Off Form in Home Debut; High Winds Raise Havoc for BothSquads verw elm Bengals Show Detroit, Amazing 30-6 * * Groth 'I DICKWAKEFIELD and Joe DiMaggio are men of another era. Pat them on their respective backs and send them on their way. For lo and behold, from the shadows of comparative ignominy have come two replacements to wear the olive wreaths of heroes. For the Bengals, it is Johnny-move-back-the-fences-Groth and for the Yanks, Tommy-I'm-living-up-to-my-nickname-Hen- rich. Neither the Tigers nor the Bombers have much in the way of hitting attack. That is, if you can possibly forget about the clubbing antics of the two gentlemen in question. With three four-masters in two games, Groth is well on his way to earning the life-long gratitude of the Motor City fans, plus, perhaps, a large share of General Motors, Chrysler Corporation and Ford stock., Red Rolfe smiled after yesterday's game with the Chisox. No wonder, what with Groth having made the Pale Hose mound staff his personal cousin. He now has five hits, only one of which is a single, in seven trips to the platter, plus a grand slam blast in yesterday's 5-2 Tiger victory. Old Reliable, who for many years has been the pride and joy of Yankee fans, though rating below the fabulous DiMaggio, has been a little less sensational. Taking over the clean-up posi- tion for the ailing DiMag, Tommy has pumped two drives into the stands to personally account for both Bronxite wins. The experts have the Indians and Bosox fighting it out for the junior loop flag, but keep a bat in the hands of Groth and Henrich and you've got a four-way race. Concomitantly, those bats have to keep stroking out the base hits, including a fair share of round- trippers, but if a two day performance means anything, the here- tofore restricted race has been blasted wide open. * * * * MEMO TO DON CANHAM: Marcellus Boston, freshman sprinter at Iowa, has twice run the 60-yard dash in :06.1, equalling the American indoor record. He has also cleared over 23 feet in the broad jump. That spells trouble in capital letters for Michigan track teams of the next three years . . . And while sprinting is the topic, Art Henrie, Michigan's ace dash man, switched from tennis to track when prepping at George School, Pennsylvania, because the cinder coach noticed that he walked on his toes and had a hunch he might make a pretty fair sprinter. Donnie Anderson, University of California thinclad who will be here for a dual meet next week, is second only to USC's Mel Patton on the coast. Patton beat the Golden Bear in the 100 meters last year. Donnie, PCC champ in both the 104 and 220 with :09.6 and :21.1 respectively, will take on sophomore Henrie in the meet next week . . . Tom Johnson, 230-pound sophomore tackle from Muskegon Heights, Mich., has been impressive in spring drills. The coaches have been lifting their eyebrows at the quickness of the big boy's charge. Gene Derricotte, Michigan's hard-luck halfback, will go to summer school this year. Signed with the Cleveland Browns, Gene will start running shortly in an effort to strengthen the injured knee he received in the 1948 opener against Michigan State.

The score was 30-6. * * * COACH BILL JOYCE'S Titans were never in contention although their No. 6 man, Sam Kocsis, turned in the outstanding indivi- dual performance of the after- noon. Kocsis, a brother of Michi- gan amateur champion Chuck Kocsis, toured the wind-swept lay- out in 73, one over par. The only other threat to reg- ulation figures came from Mich- igan's Chuck MacCallum, who was two under par going into the sixteenth hole. MacCalium had spun through the first nine with a brilliant 35, and had birdied two of the first three holes on the way in, but his second shot on number 16 was carried by the wind high over the green and into a near-impossible lie. * * * IT TOOK HIM eight strokes to hole out, thus ending his chances for becoming the day's medalist. His total of 75 added 41/2 points to the winning score, and was low for Michigan. The Wolverines were anything but torrid during the match. It was mainly due to the erratic play of the Detroiters that vic- tory came so easily. Besides Koc-sis, no Titan broke 80, with scores ranging as high as 91. Captain Ed Schalon, who teed off in the number one slot for Michigan, encountered consider- able trouble through the first 13 holes. In the late afternoon when the winds subsided, he found him- self, and fired five straight pars, ending up with a 77. * * * THE NUMBER TWO man, Bob Olson also had his difficulties. He was red hot at the outset but weakened when the sand traps began swallowing his ball. He went two over on the first nine and four over for the second to finish with a 78. Wolverines Roger Kessler and Keith LeClair swampedetheir opponents with four-over-par totals of 76. Leo Hauser and Sam Valuck also defeated their De- troit foes as the former shot 80, and the latter 81. Pete Elliott was the only Mich- igan golfer to lose an individual match, but the whipping came M' Professor Rates Honors BOSTON -(P) -Seven honor awards for outstanding work in physical education were granted at the conference of the American Association for Health, Physical Education and Recreation here.

Yesterday it was Hal Newhouser's three hitter against the White Sox that was forced into the background by Groth's hitting. Righthander Randy Gumpert was the victim of Groth's power hitting today. The White Sox grabbed a 2-0 lead in 'the second inning as they put two of their four hits together with a pair of walks. Then Mr. Groth took charge of things. He came up in the sixth with Vic Wertz on second, catcher Aaron Robinson on first and one out. Groth rattled a two-base hit off the left centerfield stands, scoring Wertz, but Robinson was cut down at the plate trying to come in. * * * ST. LOUIS-The Cleveland In- dians knocked out three pitchers and downed the St. Louis Browns 7-3 yesterday, with pitcher Bob Lemon going the full distance be- fore 2,919 fans at Sportsman's Park. The seven hits permitted by Lemon included home runs by Dick Kokos and rookie Jack Graham, the latter's coming with a man on base in the eighth. Lemon had six strike- outs. ut. * * * PHILADELPHIA -Sam Chap- man and Elmer Valo combined yesterday to give the Philadelphia Athletics their second straight 3-2 victory over the Boston Red Sox-the deciding tally crossing the plate in the tenth inning.

(This is the first in a series of ar- ticles concerning the outstanding candidates for the various positions in regard to spring football drills.) By PRES HOLMES Backfield Coach George Ceit- haml has quite a reputation to live up to. Last spring, with the assistance of other members of the Michigan coaching staff, he developed a couple of unknown sophomores named Leo Koceski and Chuck Ortmann into stellar performers. * * * TO DEVELOP even one man who would turn out as remarkably as did Ortmann and Koceski would be quite an accomplishment. Although it is still early, hav- ing had less than three weeks of drills, several men show signs that they will be definite assets to the strength and depth of the Wolverine squad next fall. But whether they will turn into the greats that the two sophomore sensations did last year cannot be figured out on paper. * * * ONE OF THE best looking prospects is 18-year-old Jim Eld- ridge. He presently is working out at the wingback position, and has impressed the coaches with his tremendoushspec dand running ability. Another lad who shows signs of developing into a varsity can- didate is Bob Schirmer, who is Detroit Offers New Stadium For Olympics DETROIT - (/P) - If Detroit is selected as host city for the 1956 Olympics, it will hold the games in a brand new stadium with a seating capacity of 104,000. This was announced by Louis Rossetti as he left by plane for Rome where he will go before the International Olympic Committee with a six-man Detroit group to issue the city's invitation. Detroit has the backing of the U.S. Olympic Committee and the federal government in its quest for the games.

This-Sagi- naw, Mich., product works from the right half position, too. The third 18-year-old gridder who shows promise is Bill Putich. He has looked very impressive, and what is more encouraging he seems to be steadily improving. He has been used both in the quarter- back slot and as a halfback. * * * THEIR AGES might make them seem a little young, but this factor could work as an incentive for' them. Both Koceski and Ortmann were 18-year-olds last fall. The last man in contention for a halfback berth is Don Peterson, younger brother of Michigan's varsity fullback. Don played fullback on the freshmen squad last year, but was switched to left half in the spring drills to best capitalize on his running ability. The highly controversial quar- terback slot is still a toss-up. Be- sides Putich, Don ZanFagna, Bob Van Summern, Bill Bartlett, and Otho Robinson are all working at that position.

Robinson looks very good and handles his blocking assign- ments particularly well. Zan- Fagna is a little small to block effectively, llut is very fast and can pass well. These men have all been stand- outs on offense in spring drills, but whether or not Ceithaml and the other coaches will turn one or two of them into truly great football players will have to be decided next fall. t 1 i W $ dUw to Sew I 4T 309 SOUTH MAIN STR~EET MEN' "T" SHIRTS THE DOWNTOWN "; :; "; "'"?fir y{' : " FANCY KNITS at prices anyone can afford r Tmte to0ef069 Van Boven's golf shoes made by Bass will not only improve your game but your foot comfort at the same time; the "Sportocassin" con- struction has been preferred by leading amateurs and professionals for the past quarter century.
