Why is soccer deserving of varsity status? For one thing, the game is highly competitive, lending itself to skill rather than the ruggedness of body contact sports. The small man can compete on more even terms with his oversized brethren.' The game is fast moving and there is continuous action, thus making it an ideal spectator sport. Perhaps the best reason for mak- ing soccer a varsity sport is that such action would bind the more than 800 foreign students on the campus to the Michigan athletic pro- grom. Soccer is the national game in the majority of the countries w hich are represented in the enrollment on the Ann Arbor campus. It is also flourishing at many American universities, and is recognized by the N.C.A.A. Great Source of Talent .. . THE QUESTION is raised as to how large would be the potential source of players. The answer lies in the fact that throughout the state there has been an increase in soccer among students of high school age, culminating in organized soccer leagues such as the one in 1. Detroit. Further, there are a great many students on the campus who come from Eastern cities, where soccer has been popular for years. Add to these groups the eligible foreign students, and there is a substantial reservoir of talent to feed the new sport. What is the coaching situation? Mr. C. K. Wu, who coached the 1948 Chinese Olympic team, has handled the soccer team in the past, and has expressed a desire to continue in that capacity. Also associated with the team is Mr. Allan Cassels, a teaching fellow in history, and former soccer star at Oxford University in 1950. The ever-present question of finances was raised. The full- time coach would be working only during the soccer season. An all-year coach is not essential. The 15 man traveling squad can easily be transported in three automobiles, which would put this expense at a minimum, while equipment for players would cost five dollars per man. In short, soccer can be carried as a varsity sport with a minimum financial outlay. A workable system of admission charges can be put into practice once the game achieves recognition. Good Competition .. . VJfHAT CAN WE expect in the way of competition? Soccer is already a varsity sport atOhio State, and it is catching on at Indiana Purdue, Michigan State, Illinois and Wisconsin. If the sport reaches varsity status at Michigan, it can be expected to blossom forth on many other midwestern campuses. This university commands great prestige in the field of intercollegiate athletics, and the adoption of soccer here would serve as a spripg-board for similar groups elsewhere. Other schools in this area with soccer teams include: Chicago, Notre Dame, Cincinnati, Western Reserve, Oberlin and Case. y The logic behind the arguments advanced by the soccer club seems sound. There is genuine Interest on this campus regarding the sport. There are two thousand male signatures on a petition which requires only six hundred names to be valid. Many of those who signed expressed a desire to try out for the team. The Wol- verine Soccer Club has been a successful organization for three years. The record of the club athletically shows eleven victories as against only one defeat and four ties. The Board in Control of Intercollegiate Athletics can kill hopes for making soccer a varsity sport by refusing the petition drawn up by the club. It is to be hoped that Board will take cognizance of the fact that genuine student interest has been and continues to be shown in this old and respected game. If sufficient student interest is shown in a sport, there seems to be no reason why it cannot be- come part of the official athletic program of this university. Perhaps that is what the late Fielding Yost meant when he set as his goal at Michigan a program of "Athletics for All." As an afterthought, it is interesting to note that Ross' father founded ,soccer as a varsity sport at the college of the city of New York, where it exists today as one of C.C.N.Y.'s most popular activities. Whether the younger Ross' efforts will meet with the same success at the University of Michigan a .generation later remains to be seen.

This marks the second meeting between the two schools in two weeks, the previous time being the experimental relay meet on May 5 in which no individual or team sores were kept. This meet will also be the last chance for the Wol- verines to test themselves under competition before the Conference Championships, May 29-30, at Illi- nois. THE SPARTANS boast a strong outfit headed by hurdler John Cor- belli, middle distance men Jim Kepford and John Walter and sprinter Lou Vargha. Coach Karl Schlademan's team lost a meet to the power- ful Illini by a score of 89-43 and then went on to notch victories over Penn State and Wisconsin in consecutive week-ends. In the Illinois battle, Corbelli placed third in the 220-yard low hurdles and teammate Harlan Benjamin took third in the 120- yard high hurdles with Illinois men taking first and second places in! both events. * * * THIS IS ALMOST identical to the performance of the Wolverines last week-end when Van Bruner took a third in the highs and Jim Love took a second in the lows. Illini record-holder Joel McNulty ran off with both firsts and team- mate Willard Thomson notched a second and third, respectively, in the two events. In the high jump event, State managed to grab two of the three places from the Illini and also set a record while Michigan did the same against the Illini. However the record set by Milt Mead was more than five inches above the record established by Spartan Raymond McKay. In the two mile events the same thing occurred once again as Spar- tans Ron Barr and Walter were beaten by Walt Jewsbury in the same way as he edged out Wolver- ine George Lynch and Bob Hall last Saturday in the two mile. The one mile event saw Spar- tans Kepford and John Cook take first and second respectively with Jewsbury third. John Ross whip- ped Jewsbury last week-end while Ross' teammate, John Moule, plac- ed third. Vargha, an outstanding sprinter, doubles in both the 220 and 440- yard runs. He has posted the best Conference time of the season in the 220 with a 21.5 seconds per- formance while he has the third best time in the 440, Wolverine Jack Carroll having the best time in the latter event with a mark of 48.2 seconds. Phi Kappa Psi pounded out a dozen runs to top Alpha Epsilon Pi, 12-6, in the fraternity softball league yesterday. Bud Jones pitched for the win- ners and socked two doubles in addition, to help his cause. Herb Zarrow hurled for the AEPi's and received some support in the hit- ing department from Mary Du- brinsky. * * * BOB RIDWAY registered eight strike outs and held Delta Sigma Phi to five runs while his cohorts were scoring fourteen to receive the win for Phi Kappa Tau.

Stumpfig Holds Key Post On Wolverine LinksSquad By JOHN M. KOVAL Tall, lean, well-tanned Jackf Stumpfig, although handicapped somewhat by a hip injury, is one of the main reasons why Coach Bert Katzenmeyer's golf squad ist considered a serious threat forI the Big Ten Conference Crown. Stumpfig, returning to the golf-I ing circles this spring after a year's absence, immediately won for him- self a regular position on the squad. He is a veteran letterman, winning his numeral in his sopho- more year. IN A triangular meet against Iowa and Northwestern, Stumpfg shot a three under par 69. This is the lowest score racked up by aC Wolverine linksman this season. Coupling this 69 on the morningr round with a 74 in the afternoon, he tied Michigan's Bud Stevens for medalist honors. Generally playing in the num- ber one or two spot, Stumpfig has has managed to garner valuable points in all of the Wolverines'e contests. Against Ohio State he fired a pair of 3's to complete- ly outclass his opponent, Frank Cardi, Ohio Amateur Champion and top man on the Buckeye squad. Early last March, Stumpfig en- tered the hospital to get an opera- tion for a hip injury, sustained while he was a child. He is still at times bothered by a sore hip and back. During the southern tour, in early April, he was forced to play around the course with a folding chair to rest on between shots.

Openings for college men and women to LIKE SO MANY golfers, Stump- fig first became interested in the game at an early age when he be- came a caddy at the Midland Country Club. His first competi- tive golf was played for Midland High School. Playing for Midland in 1949, Stumpfig won the State High School Championship. During the summer months, Stumpfig works at the Dow Chemical Corporation. However, he manages to play in several Professional - Amateur tourna ments. His best effort since tak- ing up the game has been a 67 on the Midland Country Club course. Stumpfig is in the Literary school and is majoring in Eco- nomics. He eventually plans to get a job irk business. He will be in school again next spring and with another year of eligibility left, he should be a great help to Coach Katzenmeyer. Stumpfig, like most of the Wol- verine linksters, has been rather erratic throughout the season, on occasions playing some tremen- dous golf, while, at other times, he defiinitely has been out of form. However, as of late, he has shown interesting improvement and should be in top shape for the Big Ten Finals. G. C. HOUSTON, Manufac- turing Services Division . . . In General Electric manufacturing operations involve supervising and administering the activities of more than 100,000 men and women in more than 100 plants. This includes the operation of approximately 75 distinct prod- uct businesses, producing some 200,000 different products rang- ing from heavy industrial equipment to precision instruments and consumers' goods.. The cost of manufacturing our products represents 70% of the total expenditure for all operations including research, engineering, marketing and other administrative functions. With these activities and expenditures in the field of manu- facturing one can readily visualize the breadth of opportunity in the area of manufacturing. This wide scope of manufacturing activities and the importance of their integration into an effec- tive organization provide opportunity for challenging and rewarding careers in such areas as follows: Manufacturing Supervision: The most important part of any manufacturing organization is men-those who apply their varied skills and talents to perform the many tasks involved in the manufacturing process. To direct the activities of these men, to inspire performance, co-operation and teamwork, to provide fair and equitable treatment, to see that work is done in required quantity-on time-and at the lowest possible cost, is the responsibility of Manufacturing Supervision. It offers a challenging and satisfying career for individual growth and dcvclopment. Manufacturing Engineering: This is the creative portion of modern manufacturing. It involves interpretation of initial product designs into good manufacturing practices through planning the methods by which a product will be manufactured, specifying and designing machine tools and equipment, and planning and developing new processes. It is vitally concerned with such subjects as plant layout, materials handling, operation planning, and quality control. It requires a thorough knowledge and broad understanding of how these subjects influence the manufacture of a product. Purchasing: General Electric is one of the most diversified purchasers in the country today, buying material from every industry. Much of this purchasing involves technical problems, and requires a knowledge of sources of supply, market trends, and new products. Many items purchased are components or finished products of other technical industries. Constant contact with price, as well as evaluation of current and long-range raw material supply situations, is another phase of this activity. It is becoming more and more important as a career opportunity for young men. In addition to the above described areas of opportunity in manufacturing, such manufacturing services as wage-rate de- termination, production control, inventory management, produc- tion planning and development, and materials handling offer opportunity for highly trained specialization and for competent management supervision. These areas of manufacturing, together with many others, offer the college graduate of. today a wealth of opportunity for a challenging and rewarding career. co/d1ee ft GENERAL ELECTRIC CLEVELAND, OHIO Cleveland Works Edgewater Works Madison Ave. at West 117th St. CHARLOTTE, N.
