THE MICHIGAN DAILY PA GE SEVENJ i THE SPOT By GEORGE FLINT Sig Eps W in IM TitIe, 'v _ THIRTEEN of the proteges of Matt Mann, the tireless Michigan swimming coach, will head for Merrie England late this summer for a tour which has been in germination for twelve years. Back in 1939, the genial Wolverine mentor had planned a similar trip to the haunts of King Arthur. The date set for departure fell on a Monday. The preceding Friday, a fanatic named Adolf Hitler marched the German army into Poland, and European visits became as unpopular as Dean Acheson is in Tribuneland. So the trip Mann and his men will take this summer (barring 44 further disaster) fulfills a long-felt hope.. * * * * MAKING THE jaunt along with Matt and Mrs. Mann will be four Michigan swim captains-Dave Neisch, (Matt Mann III, and 1952 co-captains John Davies and Stew Elliott. Mann, the excellent dis- tance man who captured the Big Ten 220 title in 1950, is the present coach of University High, following in his famous father's footsteps. In addition to the quartet of captains, Alex Canja, one of the best divers developed here during the past decade, will handle the springboard duties in the twenty-town tour. From this season's varsity and freshman team, distancemen Wally Jeffries, Burwell (Bumpy) Jones, and Colombian Olympic star Luis Child; sprinters Don Hill and Bob Benner; backstroker Bernie Kahn; and medley man Rusty Carlisle will carry the Maize and Blue colors. In addition, Bill Schuelie, a promising tankman from University High will accompany the squad. IN MOST OF such towns as Brighton (the famous health resort), Leeds, Carlisle, Edinburgh, Glasgow, and Aberdeen, the Michigan contingent will be splashing through exhibitions, with little real com- petition slated. The group leaves on the Mauretania, one of the Cunard lin- ers, August 18. Coach Mann will fly over and meet the group at Brighton. The trip is sponsored in England by the Shiverers Club of Hove, Sussex, of which Carl Wooton has done most of the contact work. ** * * THE CLUB will make arrangements for the group, which pays its .own way individually with some help from the Michigan athletic1 department. The swimmers will travel by bus to the string of one; day stands, which extends from North Scotland through London and South England. It will be a return home for Coach Mann, who last visited 1 his native England in 1946. He was at one time a British Empire champion in the tank sport. At the end of the tour, the team members will have around four days to spend in sightseeing and possible side trips. They may wander in the direction of Paris, according to their own choice. * * * * THE TEAM will travel, in much the style of the US Olympic team, in that they will wear blue jackets and gray flannel trousers, along with white buckskin shoes. The Wolverine natators figure to be some of Britain's more feashionable visitors in this, her 100-year festival summer. The return trip will start on the 21st of September, again on a Cunard liner, the Queen Elizabeth. Coach Mann will remain in Lon-t don to conduct a four-day clinic for British Olympic aspirants andf some of the younger British coaches.Z Williams, Phi Eps, Newman-- OtherChamps Intramural director Earl Riskey announced yesterday the final standings of the top teams in each of the four divisions, fraternity, residence hall, professional fra- ternity and independent. Although three championship events are still out in the fratern- ity division, and the professional fraternity softball final was play- ed last night, the uncounted points from these events will not change the standings of the top teams, ac- cording to Riskey's calculations. IN FRATERNITY PLAY Sigma Phi Epsilon ran away with the title for the third straight year. Counting last night's win over Chi DIAMOND MEN GRADUATE: Wolverine Nine Loses Five Regulars * * * The University Golf Course will be closed Saturday, June 2 until 2 p.m. for playing due to M-club day. Psi, the Sig Eps gathered in eight trophies during the course of the year, representing titles in eight events. Last year's runner-ups, Phi Delta Theta, sank to the number four spot behind up-and-com- ing Kappa Sigma and Alpha Tau Omega. Williams House made a shambles of the residence hall race by scor- ing the all-time high total of 1,566 points. In their march to the top, the men of Williams won nine championships, also a new mark in residence hall competition. Hay- den House, last year's winner, dropped into fourth. PRESCOTT AND Fletcher ran 2-3, while Winchell House occu- pied the fifth berth. It is interest- ing to note that the West Quad squads grabbed 17 of the 21 pos- sible championships. In independent circles it's New- man Club by four points over the Foresters for first place. Michigan Christian Fellows ran a distant third and the Hawaiians finished fourth a mere six points ahead of Michigan Co-op. Phi Epsilon Kappa outlasted the Law Club in the professional fra- ternity race, while Nu Sigma Nu, last year's champs, finished third. Delta Sigma Delta rounded out the top four.

They are pitcher Bob Larsen, catcher Pete Palmer, leftfielder Leo Koceski, and infielders Gerry Dorr, third base, and Al Weygandt, first base. FOR LARSEN, who hardly saw action last year, it has been a very busy season marked by both som- ber and gratifying notes. The southpaw was called on to start seven of the twelve conference games and ended up with a 2-3 won lost record amidst the 4-8 record of the Wolverines. His two victories were both stellar performances one a seven hit 1-0 shutout over Purdue, the' other a three hitter over Michi- gan State in a 15-1 victory. Larsen almost made Big Ten history when he pitched eight in- nings of hitless ball against Iowa, but he was not only robbed of his no-hitter in the ninth but was shelled from the mound with three consecutive hits to start off the inning in which the Hawkeyes overcame a 3-0 deficit and won 4-3. * * . * PALMER WAS always the sec- ond half of Michigan's battery this year, which was his second season of consistent duty behind the plate. His batting average dropped from last year's mark of .340 to a disappointing .262. He hit two home runs, and batted ten runs across the plate. Captain Koceski who was on two previous championship teams was LEO KOCESKI ... ends 'M' career a little disappointed this year in having the team he led wind up in seventh place. BUT THE SPEEDY outfielder was always in there himself and ended up with a .341 conference average that even topped last year's .333 percentage that won him an NCAA district all-star berth. For Koceski it will be a double farewell to intercollegiate ath- letics in view of his three years of competition that he put in for the Maize and Blue on the gridiron. Weygandt was not even a letter- man until this, his senior year, but he proved he deserved the award Lee Wallard Establishes New Indianapolis Speedway Mark Leave after your last class-- FLY UNITED and be Home in a Few Hours United Air lines' 300-mile-an-hour flights will get you home for summer vacation fast- er than you ever thought possible, and fly- ing luxurious DC-6 Mainliner 300s is fun and inexpensive too!

By ALAN KIDD Special to The Daily INDIANAPOLIS-Lee Wallard, a likeable 40-year-old speedster from Altmont, N.Y., became the first man in history to win the Memorial Day Classic in less than four hours here Wedneseday. Wallard's blistering 126,244 mph average covered the 500 mile dis- tance at a rate almost 5 mph faster than the mark set by Bill Holland in 1549. * * * THIS IS THE same Wallard they laughed at just three years ago at the Speedway. On the last Name Fay Top Athlete in Quad Cliff Fay of Williams House was named the outstanding athlete of the West Quad at the annual West Quadrangle Athletic Banquet held last night in the dormitory dining hall. The award highlighted a pro- gram headed by toastmaster Bob Fancett, athletic director of the quad. After Dr. Peter Ostafin's opening welcome, IM director Earl Riskey presented the All-Residence Hall trophy to Williams House and the various trophies for each sport. His assistant, Rod Grambeau, made the presentations to the numerous individual award win- ners, while Herbert Wagner award- ed the West Quad Champions' tro- phy to Williams House. 1 I Success on Your EXAMS!

But despite the smiles of on- lookers, Wallard managed to qualify the Iddings for the big race at a respectable speed. Even more amazing is the fact that at the end of 500 miles, the car and driver were still going Lockers at IM Building must be cleaned out by June 9th. Earl Riskey strong, strong enough in fact to nail down seventh position. Hard- ly a person in the stands that day was unaware of Wallard's achieve- ment. A CAPACITY throng of racing enthusiasts had watched him fight his way over the gruelling route without relief in his bouncing lit- tle car. In 1949 Wallard was selected by Indianapolis Race Cars, Inc., to drive the Maserati, and al- though he was forced out of the field with mechanical trou- ble, he displayed driving bril- liance as he led the pack for several laps. By 1950 he had arrived as a highly regarded chauffeur, and Lou Moore, one of the smartest men in racing, selected him for his famed Blue Crown team. Wal- lard rewarded Moore by wheeling his mount home in sixth place in the rain-shortened test. .After that race Moore sold his cars but Wallard was quickly sign- ed by Murrell Belanger to drive his entry in this year's whirl. He qualified the Belanger Special at upwards of 135 mph which put him in the number two starting position. Dodgers Top Phils, 4-3; Erskine Wins BROOKLYN -(AP)- Carl Ers- kine's steady relief pitching helped the Brooklyn Dodgers top the Phil- adelphia Phils last night by the count of 4-3. By losing the Phils dropped to within a. half-game of the cellar dwelling Pittsburgh Pirates. The Dascola Barbers Liberty, near State I i THE RIGHT JOB?
