THE MICHIGAN DAILY PAGE THREE Wolverine Thinclads Down Notre Dame, 92/2-39 /Z * * * McEwen Tops Two-Mile, Sets Four New Records Ross, Jacobi, Nilsson Better Meet Marks; SquadSweeps All But. Four First Places END SNAGS HONOR: I Gene Knutson Awarded Morton Trophy Fighting Irish Net Squad Downs Michigan Six, 7-2 By DAVE LIVINGSTON Don McEwen ran a magnificent 9:01.8 two mile yesterday as the Wolverine thinclads swamped No- tre Dame, 921/2-391/, on rain-soak- ed Ferry Field. The Michigan Captain turned in his amazing performance, only 3.5 seconds slower than the American record, under the worst possible conditions. IN SPITE of the soggy footing, the Canadian flashed through a steady drizzle to a. new Ferry Field, Michigan varsity, British Empire, and meet record, finishing over 200 yards ahead of teammate Bill Hickman. * McEwen's best previous time was the 9:01.9 he sped to in 1950 in establishing the Intercolleg- late record. Wolverines John Ross, George Jacobi, and Fritz Nilsson bettered three other dual meet marks as Michigan swept first place in all but four events. SOPHOMORE John Ross smash- ed the meet mile record of 4:19 Rained Out The baseball doubleheader between Michigan and Purdue, which was scheduled for yes- terday afternoon, was called off due to the inclement weather. , when he flew across the finish line in 4:14.5, 50 yards ahead of the field. Jacobi was clocked in 1:54.5 in the half mile, erasing the old stan- dard of 1:56.6 set 11 years.ago by fellow Wolverine Dave Mathews. FRITZ NILSSON became the only Michigan double winnerwhen he hurled the discus 151 feet, two inches, for another dual meet rec- ord. He had earlier won the shot put with a toss of 53 feet, ten and five-eighths inches. Irish Captain Paul Ewing took half of his team's firsts, nipping Michigan's Van Bruner in both of the sprints. The Southbend- er's winning times were 10.2 in the 100-yard dash and 22.6 in the 220. The other Notre Dame winners camehin the 220-yard low hurdles, which Harvey Newquist took in 24.3, and In the pole vault where Jim Harrington tied with Wolver- ine Roger Haugh at 12 feet, six inches. aj'or League StandEgs AMERICAN LEAGUE Milt Mead and Horace Coleman added the high and broad jumps, respectively, to Michigan's list of victories. Mead cleared six feet, two inchese in his event, and Cole- man leaped 22 feet, one-fourth inches in the broad jump. Van Bruner won the 120-yard high hurdles in 14.6, and in a fea- ture event the Wolverine nrile re- lay team of Dan Hickman, Al Rankin, Bill Konrad, and Jack Carroll registered a 3:19.2 to whip a very good Notre Dame quartet. * * * SUMMARIES 'SHOT PUT: 1-Fritz, Nilsson (M), 53 feet, 106 inches; 2-Ton John- son (M), 46 feet, % inch; 3-Roy Pel- la (M), 45 feet, 10% inches.

'MI' Linksters Engage Albion I Home Meet The Michigan golf team, will probably face its toughest non- conference opposition of the 1952 season when they take on the de- fending MIAA Conference cham- pionsrAlbion on the local course tomorrow. A week ago the Britons handed a 11-5 loss to Kalamazoo College for the Albion squad's fourth league victory and its seventh straight win this season. Albion's Charlie Mohl, playing in the num- ber one spot, led the way with a low score of 68. Al Nichols posted a 74 in his number two position to aid the Albion cause. COACH Maynard Aris, in addi- tion to Mohl and Nichols, has three other lettermen from last year who have helped considerably in the Briton's bid for their second consecutive MIAA title. They are Larry French, Jack Lewis and Ronald Carstone, all f whom have broken 80 in meets this year. Leading the newcomers of the squad are Jim Martin, Don Car- mien and John Walker. All three men are veterans with tournament experience, but are lacking the know-how of col- legiate match play. Wolverine Coach Bert Katzen- meyer plans to use his usual line-; up of Captain Dean Lind, Dick Evans, Lowell LeClaire, John Fras- er, Russ Johnson and Hugh Wright. Earlier this week the Michigan linksmen beat the University of Detroit squad by the overwhelm- ing score of 201/2-6%/, with Lind and Evans pacing the victory. DON McEWEN . . . record racker B lue Squad wins, 3 6-0 fin Grid Test By AL PRICE Michigan's Blue squad outclass- ed the Whites, 36 to 0, in the final scrimmage of the spring grid drills yesterday at Ferry Field. Boasting a majority of the team's experienced performers, the Blue aggregation overpowered the Whites with an excellent dis- play of offensive and defensive strength. AFTER A scoreless first quar- ter, the Blue team initiated the scoring when Norm Canty, sopho- more tailback, raced 40 yards to a touchdown The White team also began to move, on passes to Leo Schlict and the running of Perry Gagelis, but they were un- able to cross the goal line. Tackle Art Walker set up the second tally when he blocked a kick to give the Blues possession on the White 20 yard line. Winghack Junior Stielstra scam- pered 15 yards around left end to the three, from where Dick Balzhiser punched over for the touchdown. In the final quarter the Blues buried the White team under a four touchdown assault. Sopho- more Ted Kress scored once fol- lowing Dean Ludwig's 35 yard gal- ,lop with an intercepted pass, and tossed a touchdown aerial to end Stan Knickerbocker. . . '. DUNCAN MacDonald, outstand- ing quarterback prospect, produced the game's final scores with passes to ends Gene Knutson and John Veselenak. One of the most encouraging features of the game was the fine performance by a group of hard running young backs, in- cluding Canty, Kress, Stilstra, Gagelis, and Fred Baer. Baer's powerful fullback thrusts were a big factor in the Blue of- fense, indicating that the La- Grange, Illinois, freshman should' figure prominently in plans for the fall campaign. * * CANTY AND Don Evans saw only limited service on the offense,; but both racked up sizeable gains1 in their few ball carrying attempts. The tailback trio of Canty, Kress, and Evans also held down spots in the defensive backfield for the. Blues. Ted Topor, husky letterman quarterback, showed much im- provement in the ball handling department. He shared the sig- nal calling duties for the Blues with Duncan MacDonald. In the White backfield quarter- back Dick Fisher and fullback Perry Gagelis carried the offen- sive burden. Gagelis, an Ann Ar- bor product, was a consistent ground gainer and connected on several fine passes. PHOTOS COPIED Wallet-SizeDnts $.00 Original picture returned. Send any size photo or negative. Federal Wallet-Size Photo Co. P. O. Box 2448 Kansas City 6, Me (No C. O. Ds Please) By MARTY GAYNES Gene Knutson, junior end from Beloit, Wis., was named yesterday as the winner of the Meyer W. Morton Award as the most im- proved player during spring foot- ball practice. The trophy, awarded primarily on the basis of attendance, atti- tude, improvement and varsity possibilities, was announced by Coach Bennie G. Oosterbaan at the end of spring grid drills. * *. * STRONGEST competition for the award came from Fred Baer, Don Dugger, Ted Topor, Norm Canty and John Veselenak. The six foot four inch per- former, who suffered a broken leg which kept him out of last year's spring drills, won his first letter during the 1951 season. He saw most of his action as defense linebacker. An outstanding high school gridder, Knutson possesses natural speed and a talented pair of pass snatching hands. In winning the coveted trophy, he follows in the footsteps of another Wolverine end, Capt. Merrit Green, who took the honor last spring. * * * THE HANDSOME Morton tro- phy has had a long and interest- ing history since its inception in1 1925.1 Originally named the Chicago1 Alumnus Award, it was first pre- sented at the annual football banquet in the Union during1 that year. Meyer W. Morton, '12, made the presentation, as well as all sub- sequent presentations until his death in 1947. The prominent Chicago alumnus explained the purpose of the award during the banquet. HE ASSERTED, "The idea of presenting this trophy is the re-l sult of the Chicago Alumni's at- tempt to maintain enthusiasm and interest in Michigan athletics. "The reason that the award isf made during the spring train- ing season," continued Morton, "is that in the fall the glamourI of the throng and the thrill oft competition furnishes sufficientc incentive for the team members.r Special To The Daily SOUTH BEND-A surprisingly strong Notre Dame tennis squad donwed the Wolverines, 7-2, at South Bend yesterday to hand the netters their second setback of the week. The Irish showed no mercy as they swept all but one of the singles events and continued with wins in two of the three doubles matches. * * * MIKE SCHWARTZ was the only Michigan player to escape un- scathed in singles play. Matched against Matt Tuite in the number two spot, Schwartz breezed through his first set, winning, 6-1. Tuite came back in the second set, however, which fell to him, 6-2. The game advantage in the long third set reversed hands sev- eral times before the verdict went to Schwartz, 8-6. The only other Wolverine vic- tory came in the number three doubles match, which was just squeezed in under the lip of darkness. A combination of Gene Barrack and Jim Holtz trounced Bill Reale and Charles Gallagher, 6-3, 6-3. Michigan's senational freshman Al Mann proved no match for Ken Angyal, a junior from Detroit, who swept through two easy 6-3 sets for the win. IN THE NUMBER three singles slot, Barrack gave Roy Smith a close fight in the first set before bowing 7-5, buthcould not recover in the second set which he also dropped, this time 6-2. Jay Webb faced the only re- maining player from last year's Notre Dame team, which the Wolverines trounced by an iden- tical score, 7-2. Webb fell easy prey to Tom Overholsar, cap- tain of the Irish team, 6-3, 6-3, Overholsar was the only Notre TAKES TROPHY-Gene Knutson, stalwart Wolverine end, who was awarded the Meyer W. Morton trophy for the most improved player during spring practice. The Award was announced by Head Coach Bennie Oosterbaan. by an 6-1. even more decisive margin, "However, in the spring, when the real development takes place, this incentive is lacking. We hope that our trophy will provide it." AFTER MORTON'S death, the trophy was renamed Meyer Mort- on award in his honor. Ray Baer, great Wolverine guard was the initial recipient of the award. Baer, honored as a freshman, broke into the famous Oosterbaan - Friedman 1926 team during mid-season and established himself as regu- lar right guard soon afterwards. His rugged line play brought him both Big Ten and All-Ameri- can honors in 1928, thus initiat- ing a high standard for all sub- sequent winners of the Morton award. * * * HOWEVER, LATER winners proved equal to the task by dis- tinguishing themselves in Big Ten competition. George Rich, 1926 recipient, was elected team cap- tain during the 1929 campaign, while 1932 winner Herman Ever- hardus led the league, then called the Big Nine, in scoring in 1932. Other well- known gridders who have taken the trophy in- clude Oregon football coach Kip Taylor, 1927; Archie Kodros, 1938; present backfield coach George Ciemthaml, 1940; form- er Detroit Lion Bob Weise, and All-Americans Al Wistert, 1947, and Merv Pregulman, 1942. Linebacking Roger Zatkoff took the trophy in 1950 and Don Dufek and Leo Koceski won it in 1949 and 1948 respectively. Legal difficulties prevented Du- fek and Koceski from receiving their trophies after their respec- tive spring training seasons. Mort- on left a provision in his will to cover the expenses involved in purchasing the award. However, the will was involved in a legal squabble, and it wasn't until the fall of 1949 that the two gridders were given their cups. Dame player to take a singles match in last year's contest. Notre Dame's Don Crowley added another win to his string by defeating Jim Stephan in the number five spot. Stephans dropped two straight sets, 4-6, 4-6. * * * JIM HOLTZ, making his first varsity appearance this season, could not cope with the experience of Morris Reidy, who smashed his way to a 6-1, 6-3 victory. The number one doubles com- bination of Mann and Schwartz was edged in a very close three set match. They lost the first set to Angyal and Smith, 7-5, but came back strong to take the sec- ond,. 8-6. The final went to the Irishmen by a 6-4 margin. Another standard Michigan doubles combination, that of Stephans and junior Bob Curhan, fell victim to the racquets of Tuite and Reidy in the number two slot The Notre Dame duo copped the first set, 6-2, and then fought through the second set to take it STUDENT SUPPLIES Typewriters Repaired Rented Sold Bought Webster-Chicago Tape and Wire Recorders Fountain Pens Repaired by a Factory Trained Man ' * *: ' MORRILL'S S.

Third place Wisconsin split two games with Iowa's Hawkeyes, los- ing the first tilt, 5-2, and garner- ing the nightcap by a 7-4 count. Minnesota's nine not only lost a golden opportunity to overtake Wisconsin, but also dropped to fifth place behind Michigan State as a result of dropping a twin bill to Northwestern, losing 12-6 in the opener and 6-2 in the finale. IN THE MORNING game of the Illinois-Ohio contests, played due to a postponement of Friday's scheduled game, the Buckeyes put a temporary crimp inm llinois' title hopes by downing them, 6-3. The Champaign nine recovered ably from the setback, however, and 1. easilyaromped to a double win in the afternoon by rapping the Ohioans by scores of 7-1 and 7-3. Meanwhile, in Ann Arbor, the Illini's main opposition for the title, Michigan, was rained out of a twin bill with Purdue in which they might quite conceivably have captured the lead in the Big Ten race. In the day's other action, the Michigan State Spartans won their sixth and seventh wins of the conference season, by blasting the last-place Indiana hoosiers, 5-3 and 8-2.
