Yount Takes Half-Mile With Excellent 2.13.1

By ART EVEN'
Cooley House captured all three
long distance events, as it swept
past all opposition to the Resi-
cence Halls indoor track cham-
pionship last night at Yost Field
House.
With 26 points, the East Quad-
ders doubled the score on their
nearest rivals, Adams House and
Gomberg House, who tied for sec-
ond with 13 points each.
, *
THE WIN enabled Cooley to
nose out Gomberg for the track
honors of the 1953-54 season. Coo-
ley had taken the cross country
meet earlier in the year, with
Gomberg finishing second, but the
South Quad men came back to
annex the outdoor cinder meest,
with Cooley runner-up.
Although they garnered only
three points in the field events
the East Quad men took first
place in the mile, the 880, and
the 440.
Bill Follet was not pressed as
he turned in a 5.03.4 clocking in
the mile. Ben Yount breezed in a
} half a lap in front of Dave Harris
of Allen Rumsey House, with a
fine 2.13.1 time in the 880. Cooley
had a close call in the 440 as Bob
Weibel, with a 58.6 time, hit the
tape a mere four tenths of a sec-
ond ahead of Anderson House' Don
Highway. Larry Green of Lloyd
House finished three tenths of a
second behind Highway. Greg Ber-
ry of Allen-Rumsey took fourth
in 59.7.
THE SHOT put event was as
close as the 440. A distance of one
inch separated the top three com-
petitors. Taylor House' Dick Vor-
enkamp got off the winning heave
which traveled 36'2".
Dick Fontenesse of Strauss
House followed with a 36'1%"
toss, while Norm Ziegelman of
Gomberg House placed third
with a 36'1" throw.
The only tie of the meet result-
ed when George Hoaglin of Van
Tyne House and Glenn Coury of
Hinsdale House deadlocked in the
high jump. Both of them cleared
5'8".
High point man for the entire
meet was Yount who collected sec-
ond place in the broad jump in
addition to his first in the 880, for
a total of eight points. This en-
abled him to edge out Norm Nie-
dermeier of' Adams House who
grabbed seven points on a first in
the pole valut and a third in the 65
yard high hurdles.

Outfielders

On 'M' Nine
By CORRY SMITH
Michigan baseball coach, Ray
Fisher, has a wide range of ball-
players from which to select a
starting outfield for the 1954 sea-
son,
Of the returning outfielders,
Paul Lepley is the standout. His
mention to the All-American sec-
ond team last spring was helped
considerably by his .396 batting
average in Big Ten competition.
A junior from Warwick, Ohio, he
played left field last year and his
strong arm kept many runners'
from advancing extra bases.

FISHER said that he "will play
where he could do us the most
good." Lepley, Michigan's most

M' Swim Team Shows
Vast Range of Versatility

Elliot New
End Coach?

By BOB JONES
In an era of specialization, it is
very encouraging and somewhat
astounding to find the Michigan
swimming team a hot-bed of ver-
satility.
On a weak swimming team, or
on the team of a smaller college
it isn't rare to hear of a man
swimming all the free-style events,
from sprints up to long distance.
BUT ON A powerful team in the
fastest swimming conference in
the world it is almost unprece-
dented to find four men who can
swim with the swiftest in from
four to seven events apiece. These
men are Bumpy Jones, the Ward-
rops, and Ron Gora.
With the exception of the
breast-stroke, Jack Wardrop
could probaby place in every;
individual swimming event in'
any conference. His times tell
the story.
NCAA champ in the 220 free-
style, and runner-up in the 440,
Wardrop could also have placed
in the 1500 meters, had Coach
Matt Mann chosen to swim him.,

AS OF NOW, three sophomores,
one junior, and two seniors com-
prise the main strength of his
squad, the smallest in years, and
both seniors are hindered by in-
juries.
In the case of captain Jack
Stumpfig, the problem is a hip
injury which has hindered his
play for years. While having the
most experience of anyone on
the squad, two years of varsity
competition, the inability of his
hip to take the long grind may
cause a problem.
Tad Stanford, the only other ex-
perienced senior on the team, pre-
sents a more serious problem how-
ever. He is still suffering the ef-
fects of injuries received during
the 1953 football season when he
played an end position for the
Maize and Blue gridders.

THE COXSWAIN
WHO
WANTED TO BE A NUDIST
*
Tlhe coxsvain of a leading university crew didn't like
to be tossed in the water after a victory. He didn't like it
so much the crew started tossing him in the water any
old time they saw him near it.
1ie complained bitterly that it was ruining all his sportshirts.
Hie liked nice sportshirts, but all he owned had either
shrunk or streaked or spotted. He was not a happy coxswain.
With no more sportshirts, he contemplated joining a
nudist colony.
Ile told the whole wetched tale to the Dean of Men.
The Dean said, "You like really good sportshirts, eh?
Something like a fine gabardine?"
"Uh huh," the coxswain beamed.
Try this--take 5.95 down to the nearest men's store and
get a Van Heusen Van Gab. It's the best-looking
gabardine sportshirt you've ever owned and it's completely
washable-any kind of water. What's more, it's got real
pick-stitching on the collar, pockets and cuffs...it's got
a Sportown collar that looks as smart with a tie as
without, Van Heusen really knows how to make 'em."
Said coxswain is now sportshirt king of the campus.
Owns Van Gabs in all smart non-fade colors. Called
best-natured coxswain on east coast. Doesn't wait ta be
dunked by crew.Jumps in, Van Cab and all.
