ANN ARBOR, MICHIGAN, SATURDAY, AUGUST 14, 1937 HardComeback Fight Ahead For rid PRICE FIVE CENTS ders b - {+> Four Big Ten Titles Taken By Michi(ran Tankers Have Best Mark With Both Conference And National Crown Hockey And Track Also Lead League By CLAYTON HEPLER Although KingFootball is again assuming the spotlight in the field of sports, a backward glance over Mich- igan's efforts in other fields during the past year shows a record of one national and four Big Ten titles. Not a bad record for "The Champions of the West." After last year's disastrous grid season, in which the only victory chalked up by the Wolverines was the 13-0 defeat of Lou Little's Columbia Lions, Michigan's athletic force started its bid fortop honors with a determined drive for the basketball crown. It was a determined drive that was upset by a poor showing against Ohio State and an unexpect- ed victory by the Indiana Hoosiers. Cagers Swamp Purdue After dropping the first Big Ten game of the season to Purdue, the Wolverine force swept through its op- position with nary a beating until just before its final road trip. In- cluded in that clean sweep was a 31- 16 revenge drubbing handed the Boilermakers before 9,000 howling fans in the Yost Field House. But the two. subsequent defeats dropped the Wolverines to third place in the standings behind the dark horse Minnesota aggregation and Illinois, who tied for top honors. John Townsend, unanimous choice for All-Conference honors at center for two years, was again the spark plug that kept them in the running for the title throughout the season. As captain for the coming season he will succeed Long John Gee, who with Matt Patanelli constitutes the graduation loss among the regulars. Regulars Returning Returning with Townsend are Herm Fishman and Bill Barclay of the regulars, along with Ed Thomas, last year's sophomore discovery, Danny Smick and Leo Beebe. Fish- man is already established at one guard position and Leo Beebe will in all probability take over the other guard post vacated by Patanelli. Townsenct may move over from his forward post to take over the center duties, which would make room for Thomas as the regular running mate of Barclay in the forward posts. Then too, Smick's six feet four inches will make him a valuable man at the tip- off post. Pucksters First Champions Michigan's first Conference title during the last school year came in February when Coach Eddie Lowrey's hockey team split its second series with Minnesota to gain a tie for the title with the Gophers. Despite its almost traditionally small squad, Michigan assumed the mythical state title by taking three of four games from Michigan Tech. Captain Vic Heyliger, the diminu- tive center who has been promised a tryout with the Chicago Blackhawks this winter, is the major loss this team suffers along with its second line center, Dick Merrill. Plenty of sophomore material is promised, however, which bids fair to give the Wolverines two complete forward lines and a dependable goalie. Simpson Is Captain Bob Simpson, who plays at the right defense post, will lead the team this year with Bert Smith as his run- ning mate. "Smack" Allen is one of the newcomers who is slated to take over a regular post, playing at center ice with Johnny Fabello and the high-scoring Gib James on the wings. Evie Doran at center ice on the second line with George Cooke and the Chase twins assisting is a strong menace, while young 'Spike" James, Gib's brother, will be in the net. Two more Big Ten titles came Ann Arbor way the week-end of March 131 when the swimming and indoor track teams completely outclassed the Con- ference and came home triumphant.

Weaker Big Ten Michigan Fo New Is In Sophomore Strength An Unknown Factor Replacing Graduates By IRVIN LISAGOR (Daily Sports Editor) Michigan's revived football hopes -the combined result of Hunk An- derson's acquisition and a new spirit as manifested in the spring practice sessions-may be slightly buoyed by reports of prospects in the camps of Big Ten foes on the Wolverine 1937 schedule. Because of inadequate information concerning the crop of sophomores that will be making its debut in Big Time football, this appraisal must be made on a basis of departed stars and returning veterans. All six Conference elevens which engage the Wolverines next fall, with the likely exception of Minnesota, ap- , - Patanelli Selected For All-Star Tilt Last year's fighting captain, Matt Patanelli of Elkhart, Ind., will be Michigan's representative in the All- Star football game at Chicago Sept. 1, when the college stars who grad- uated in June r feet the Green Bay Packers of the 'ational Professional Football League at Soldier's Field to fight out again the question of pro vs. college gridder. Chuck Bernard, All-American cen- ter, Herm Everhardus, the "Flying Dutchman," halfback, John Regeczi stellar kicking back, and Bill Ren- ner, captain and over-head ace of two years ago have preceded Matt to the annual fall tilt, which this year will be coached by Gus Dorais University of Detroit mentor. Patanelli, who won eight letters during his three years here, missing a baseball award his sophomore yea while playing three years of varsity football and baseball, was named on the second All-Conference grid team last fall, although he got first team rating on a number of selections. Michigan's Junior Varsity, its first since 1931, will play a schedule of fouri games this fall with Ray Courtright and Cliff Keen to coach it.

Baseball What Happens To Michigan 's Great Athletes By PHIL NEWMAN One of the questions in everyone's mind is what becomes of a great athlete. From this question springs many queries such as do they follow their sport as a vocation and how successful are they. The following is a collection of Michigan's greatest athletes and what they are now do- ing. It is very fitting that the nine- letter men, people who were versatile enough to win letters in three sports for three consecutive years, should be considered first. Two of them, Harry Kipke and Benny Oosterbaan have stayed at Michigan in coaching ca- pacities. Russ Oliver, the most recent nine letter man is coaching at Culver, while Norm Daniels, who will be re- membered for his splendid basketball playing, is connected with the Wes- leyan University Athletic Department. Heston And Shultz Next on our list come some of the All-Americans, and heading these is Willie Heston, who was the forerun- ner of them all. Both his sons, Willie and Jack played football for Michi- gan. He is now in the real estate busi- ness in Detroit. Germany Schultz, who was the first of Michigan's great centers, is selling insurance in the same city. Skipping a number of years, we come to Ernie Vick, another center, who is with the Libby-Owens-Ford Glass Company in Detroit. Thengrid- iron claims him now and then, for occasionally he officiates at football games. Benny Friedman, famous for his passing, and considered by experts to be the greatest quarterback football has ever known, has turned his ability to money. He played pro football for several years and is now coach at New York University. Another great quarterback, Harry Newman, found the call of the gridiron too strong to resist, and is playing pro football for the New York Giants. Charles Bernard, the latest of the centers, has severed his connection with the sport, and works for the Ford Motor Company in Dearborn. In The Majors Two of Michigan's baseball play- ers have achieved great recognition after leaving school. The name of George Sisler is as familiar to the big leagues as it is here. He is now retired from the active game and owns a string of sporting goods stores in St. Louis. Pete Appleton is al- ways a potential menace to the De- troit Tigers for he is a pitcher for the Washington Senators. Two of the negro track stars will never be forgotten, Eddie Tolan, at one time the fastest human being in the world, and Willis Ward, who was as versatile as he was good. To- lan's pinnacle of fame was reached in the 1932 Olympics when he won two titles. He now is working in the State Capitol in Lansing. Ward is studying to be a lawyer and working at the same time. Suicide' Schedule, W ingback Positi'on Question Mark Line Posts Have Adequate Starters, Reserves, But Backfield Is Problem Early Sessions To Start Sept. 10 By CLINTON B. CONGER For the fourth successive year Michigan's Maize and Blue gridders will find themselves at the foot of the comeback trail when they report for the start of early practice Friday noon, Sept. 10. A schedule which has been made no lighter by the replacement of Co- lumbia and Indiana with Iowa and Chicago faces the Wolverines, headed by Michigan State, Northwestern, and Minnesota in the first three games. Worries over ineligibilities and the outlook for last year's freshman crop surround Head Coach Harry Kipke at present, centering around the problem of a wing-back and adequate replacements. Still, the outlook is far from black, and Kipke's comment is "We'll be much better than we were a year ago." Only 3 Men Lost Basing the squad of 55 or 60 who will be summoned for the pre-semes- ter drills on last year's Varsity which lost only three experienced players, Kipke's problems will, be complicated by the usual ineligibility Jinx which in June ran up a list of 11 definitely lost for the 1937 campaign and 12 more, 5 of them veterans, in Summer Session courses to catch up in their academic standings. Should the sum- mer squad come through, Varsity prospects align themselves in this fashion: Kipke Bothered By ine Honor Roll Daily Sports Staff) Freddie Trosko, Flint tail-back who won the Chicago Alumni Trophy, as the outstanding player of the Spring Practice sessions, will be the unknown quantity in Kip- ke's prospects this fall. Trosko can kick, pass, run, block, tackle-all the backfield fundamentals, in fact -but there's a question as to how well eight tough teams will let him do those things.

Tennis Valpey Leads Ends ENDS: With last year's Captain Matt Patanelli gone, the flankers who last year scrapped over the other wing post this year will have two to fight for. Art Valpey heads the list as most versatile candidate. Further predic- tions are complicated by Danny Smick's knee operation. The lanky Hazel Park, Ill., end is playing soft- ball this summer with little difficulty, but the pitcher's mound is much safer than the receiving end of Big Ten blocking, and Elmer Gedeon, Harold Floersch, and John Nichol- son are ready to step into the lineup should Danny's knee bother him too much. In this position the Wolver- ines present five experienced men qualified for Big Ten competition, with freshman Joe Rogers as the leading understudy. Tackles All Set TACKLES: Here's a post that, bar- ring accidents, Line Coaoch Hunk Anderson can practically forget. Fred Janke, the Jackson giant who last year started out in All-Conference style with Don Siegel as his partner at the other tackle position, is re- ported to have recovered completely from the mangled shoulder he got when clipped at Minnesota last year, and should Siegel regain his eligibility this summer, these two Will have first call for the jobs. Right behind them and almost equally experienced are Jim Lincoln, Earle Luby and Mel Kramer, and Forrest "Butch" Jordan, who starred at a tackle post briefly last year after i poor start at guard, may carry on his improvement from the point where he was forced to stop when Bob Haak, the Indiana wailer, sat on his knee during the 1936 cam- paign. Reserves Galore Should these not be enough, the coaching staff has professed itself as almost willing to use as starters two sophomores. Roland Savilla and Bill Smith, with Ken Steen and Den- nis Kuhn as reserves. GUARDS: Last year's starters may be this year's reserves at this post, where the style of play has been changed considerably since Hunk Anderson stepped into the picture. Where Wolverine guards submarined through the line last year while the tackles drifted or piled up the block- ers, the new style favors "upright" guards, holding their positions and Composite Big Ten Football Schedule Team- Sept. 25 Oct. 2 Oct. 9 Oct. 16 Oct. 23 Oct. 30 Nov. 6 Nov. 13 Nov. 30 Michigan- M.S.C.
