PAGE FIVE TUESDAY, SEPTEMBER 23, 1952 THE MICHIGAN DAILY from the Sidelines ...By Dick Sewell Davies Lone Wolverine Athlete To Garner Olympic Gold Medal Major League Standings ANiE R N THE OCTOBER ISSUE of Sport Magazine there appears what the editors call "one of the most important and revealing stories Sport has ever published. . . " Its title: Gene Filipski Says He Was Railroaded Out of West Point. Filipski was one of the famous-or infamous-90 who were dropped from the Academy in August, 1951 for "cribbing" in viola- tion of the honor code. More than that, he was then, and is now (for Villanova) a top-flight football performer. His cry is "Gee, ma, all the boys were doing it," and in weaving his tale he unwittingly casts some nasty reflections on his own ethical standards and football's place at West Point. Although admitting that what he and the others did was morally wrong, Filipski later rationalizes that "cribbing as compared to out- right cheating in the classroom is like shaving points in basketball compared to downright throwing a game. Neither should be tolerated, but there are shades of difference." Are there really, Gene? Football and West Point ... Football's role in undermining the West Point honor system is plainly evident. Says Filipski, "It's nice to talk about the high ethics of the honor code, but when it comes to the point where you know what you say is going to get a fellow tossed out of school, you're not always worried about honor. Especially when you've been taught that the football team is something big at the Point." Stating that nine months of the year football was played or thought about, which, he says, "was a little too much," Filipski points out that the time-short gridders were more susceptible to cribbing than any other group. As he puts it, "You grab at short- cuts." All things considered, it appears that football was getting a little out of hand at West Point. Obviously something is out of kilter when gridiron glory makes honor unimportant. It is equally obvious that football overemphasis is not the only reason for the cribbing scandals. A However, a discussion of the other factors involved would be out of place in a sports column. Philosphy 61 (Ethics) classes might do well to study the whole problem. Attention Olympic Committee The same issue of Sport contains a worthy suggestion by Biff Bennett which deserves the careful attention of the United States Olympic Committee. His plan calls for the Committee to leave at least three berths on the Olympic squad open until the last moment and fill them by appointment. It has long been one of the tragedies of sport that often some of our outstanding track and field performers have missed per- forming in the Games because of an unlucky moment in the Trials or because of a temporary disabling injury. If Bennett's proposal 'should be adopted, men like ex-Wolverine shotputter Charley Fonville and miler Gil Dodds who missed in 1948, and distanceman Don Gehrmann and hurdler Craig Dixon who were left behind this year, could make the team via the appointment route. * By DICK LEWIS There was a broad grin across the face of American Olympic swimming coach Matt Mann one day last August. Not only was it the realization that his Olympic charges had vir- tually swept all events, but it was a proud-papa feeling four years in the making that gave the genial Michiian swimming mentor some- thing else to smile about. * * * FOR MINUTES earlier, Austra- lia's John Davies, Wolverine tank captain last winter, salvaged the lone gold medal won by a Michi- gan athlete as he sped to Olympic record time in the 200-yard breast- stroke. And Davies had to use all that Mann had taught him in a four- year span to beat off arch-rival Bowen Stassforth by a scant three-tenths of a second in the new mark of 2.36.8. Davies began his glory road with a 2:39.7 victory in a qualifying heat, and then went on to tie the Olympic standard of 2:36.8 in the semifinals. He had previously fin- ished fourth in the finals of the 1948 World games. THE AUSSIE stroker was not the only Michigan athlete repre- sented at Helsinki. Four Maize and Blue track stars and two natators also made their presence felt at the Olympiad. Most successful of these was giant Roland Nilsson, competing in the field events for Sweden. Nilsson finished fifth in the shot put as he hurled the 16- pound ball 54 .feet, 3.59 inches. He also captured the seventh spot in the discus throw with a heave of 165 feet, 1.42 inches. Team-mate Roy Pella, a Cana- dian student at Michigan, grabbed fourteenth spot in tne discuss with a toss of 153 feet, 1.02 inches. Pella reached 157 feet, 3% inches in the Canadian Olympic trials, for a Dominion record. I TEACHER AND STAR PUPIL-Matt Mann, Michigan and 1952 Olympic Swimming Coach, and John Davies, Wolverine breastroke ace who swam for his native Australia, were both winners at Helsinki. Mann's United States natators won the team title and Davies won the 200-meter breastroke in Olympic record time. I* * * TWO OTHER Canadian track luminaries advanced in the Games. Junior John Ross, the Big Ten mile champion, came home fourth in a qualifying heat of the 1500- meterhtest with a 3:55.2 clocking, but then faded to 4:00.6 and a twelfth place finish in the semis. Michigan track captain-elect Jack Carroll ran second to Ja- maica's Arthur Wint in 48 sec- onds flat to move to the second round of the 400-meter run. Here he hit the tape third to Ohio State's Mal Whitfield in 0:47.7. Carroll bettered his clocking by three tenths of a second in the semifinals but had Wo be satisfied with fifth place. ODDLY ENOUGH, no Wolverine athletes made the trip with the American track squad to Finland. Canadian Don McEwen, fabulous Michigan distance star, stayed, home with an ailing stomach. Sophomores Ron Gora and Burwell (Bumpy) Jones surviv- ed the Olympic swimming try- outs in Astoria, New York, last July to put up quite a fight over- seas. Gora, an ineligible freshman from Chicago last semester, tri- umphed in a qualifying heat of the 100-meter free style in 58 seconds, won a semifinal heat in 0:57.7, but finished eighth in the finals with an 0:58.8 timing. Clarke Scholes of Michigan State garnered the gold medal in this contest in 0:57.4. Jones, national individual med- ley champion, anchored the sec- ond-string 800-meter relay squad which took the semifinals in 8:50.9. Five other Matt Mann products appeared in the New York Olym- pic trials. Jim McKevitt, Don Hill, Jim White and Wally Jeffries were all eliminated in the prelim- inaries. Graduate student Bernie Kahn notched fifth in the 100-meter back stroke finals, coming within San arms length of third place fin- isher Aden Stack. use the New MICROTOMIC -the Absolutely Uniform DRAWING PENCIL (Absolute uniformity means drawings without -weak spots'- clean, legible detail.
