THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 24, 1953 THE MICHIGAN DAILY FAGS TIME PAGE TM!" __. _ a -.._. _.. - _.. __ _. I-M Sportlight ... by Hanley Gurwin THIS COMING SATURDAY as you squeeze into your 50-yard line seat at the opening football game of the season, cast your eye over the top of mammoth Michigan Stadium and take a look at old Ferry Field. Still remaining of the old gridiron stadium is the south wall which is used as the grandstand for Wolverine track enthusiasts. However, across the track, where once the north wall stood, now stands a 420-foot long red brick building known as the Intra- mural Sports Building. When it was first built back in 1928 it was the first university owned athletic building in the United States devoted entirely to intramural activity. Today, 25 years later the I-M Building still holds that same distinction. When Fielding H. Yost became athletic director here at the uni- versity back in the twenties, he lived up to his motto of "Athletics for All" by being instrumental in the arrangements for the construc- tion of the Hoover Street Building. The structure, which is of sim- ilar construction and design as Yost Fieldhouse, was financed by earn- ings of Michigan's Intercollegiate Athletic program. * * * * Long Before .. . THE BUILDING dates back to 1928, but the Intramural department itself dates way back to 1912 when the University of Michigan be- came the first educational institution to appoint a full-time director in charge of intramural athletics. The I-M program started off well with 12 or 13 sports on the program but in a few years had to be discontinued because of the first world war. However, in 1919, when the situation had returned to normal, Elmer D. Mitchell, a Michigan alumnus and currently chairman of the program of Physical Educa- tion for Men, took over as director and held1 that position until the early 1940's. It was in 1928 again, when the building first opened that Earl N. Riskey, who is now the genial boss of Intramural athletics, left a job at Ypsilanti Normal to come to Ann Arbor as Mitchell's assistant. The Champs .. . FRATERNITY competition began back in 1923 when Beta Theta Pi Fraternity captured top honors for the year. The Betas came back to twice successfully defend their crown until Phi Sigma Delta took first place in 1926. The longest consecutive winning streak for a social fraternity is held right now by Sigma Phi Epsilon who have won the honors every year since 1949. Next Tuesday when the first athletic event of the year (touch football) gets underway at South Ferry Field, the Sig Eps will be out in quest of their sixth straight title. The residence halls of the university began league competition of their own back in 1940 when Lloyd House of West Quadrangle took the the first crown. Through the years Greene House of East Quadrangle has been the only house to cop the championship three times. The current title-holder is South Quad's Gomberg House which piled up 1600 points in only its second year of I-M compe- tition to establish a new record. Besides competition among social fraternities and residence halls, leagues have also been established for the professional fraternities, independents, the International Center, and the Faculty. Riskey esti- mates that nearly 50 per cent of all male students attending the Uni- versity participate in at least one sport of the intramural program, which consists of thirty different activities. It is the aim of the I-M department to provide healthful recreation in a pleasant environment, to stimulate permanent interest in athletic participation, and to encourage a greater number of Michigan students to partake of its facilities. The I-M building has over 4000 lockers% available for student rental and a gymnasium occupying almost 27,000 square feet.

IN THE HUSKIES' game against Stanford last fall, Black took a short over-the-middle toss from quarterback Don Heinrich on his own 28-yard line and outraced Bill Storum, Stanford's 440-yard dash man in track, for the insurance tally in Washington's 27-14 win. On the other flank looms a 6-8, 22-year-old senior by the name of McClary who paced the Huskies in pass reception two years ago with 29. He caught 16 last year, missing a great deal of time because of a shoulder separation. Teamed with Black, whose speed he can match, he can give any pass defense a ner- vous condition. Sandy Lederman, Washington's left-handed quarterback, has been drafted from last year's freshman team, on which he completed nine touchdown passes in four games, to fill the cleats of the graduated All-America. Heinrich. THE SOPHOMORE field gen- eral is not as accurate as Hein- rich on some types of passes but can throw better while moving than his talented predecessor. Superior running ability makes him dangerous on roll-out and bootleg passes. Although lacking experience, he completed 15 of 33 passes for most of the Huskies' 285 yards gained through the air in their 21-20 loss to Colorado last week. At the halfbacks will be Jack Kyllingstad who notched 30 points last year after gaining a regular berth in midseason, and Bobby Dunn, a 165-yound sophomore replacing the injured Bill Albrecht. Jack Nugent, Washington's lead- ing ground gainer in 1952, will re- turn to the fullback postwhere the pickings are slim in reserves. -pass defense-came in for a lot of attention again yesterday as the Wolverines went through their next-to-last heavy workout before Saturday's grid opener with Wash- ington. Coach Bennie Oosterbaan had a sophomore halfback filling the quarterback slot for the reserves as the regular backs and ends drilled against Washington pass plays. * * * BOB AMES, a lefthanded throw- er, did the passing in an effort to get the Wolverine 'secondary used to the southpaw tossing of the Huskies star T-quarterback, Sandy Lederman. Lederman, who hurled 33 passes against Colorado last Saturday, is expected to take to the air even more this week, since the Washington ground attack received a blow in the 21-20 loss to Colorado with the injury of halfbacks Frank Mon- roe and Bill Albrecht, Monroe, a right half who scored two touchdowns against Colorado, suffered a broken wrist while Al- brecht, a star sophomore tailback, broke a leg and will be out the entire season. * * * THE LENGTHY defensive drill took up most of yesterday's prac- tice, but Oosterbaan and his aides sent the team through a brief but spirited scrimmage, with the var- sity running only on offense. Although quarterback Lou Bal- dacci still had his sprained thumb taped up, he is expected to be ready to go Saturday, as are guards Don Dugger and Dick Bei- son, both of whom have been suf- fering from minor ailments. Others who are scheduled to start Saturday include ends Bob Topp and Gene Knutson, tackles Art Walker and Jim Balog, cen- ter Dick O'Shaughnessy, halfbacks Ted Kress and Tony Branoff, and fullback Dick Balzhiser.

Marciano enters the 15 round match as a four to one favorite over the 26 year old LaStarza, as a result of his unblemished 44-0 record which includes 39 knock- outs. * * * THE INTERNATIONAL Boxing Club, promoters of the fight, ex- pect a $350,000 gate plus a $100,- 000 dollar theatre television guar- antee. The fight will not be regu- larly televised or broadcast any- where in the country. Marciano, who has knocked out such men as Rex Layne, Joe Louis, Harry Matthews, and Joe Walcott, is confident of victory. But. the younger LaStarza, who bowed to Rocky in a disputed, split 10- round decision in Madison Square Garden on March 24, 1950, feels that he can outpoint the champ, or perhaps win on a technical knockout by cutting him up. i --WhM ii-J I" PENS REPAIRED AT PEN 115 WEST HOSPITAL LIBERTY " f, 11 STUDENT SUPPLIES I TYPEWRITERS ALL MAKES FOUNTAIN PENS STATIONERY NOTEBOOKS OFFICE FURNITURE the ideal cloth for campus wear HA R R I ST'WmEED made from pure, virgin Scottish Wool spun, hand-woven and finshed. - inte - Outer Hebrides 1 Typewriter Repair Work a Specialty Req Fountain Pens A Repaired by factory-trained men.
