SA'"DAY, AUGUST. 14, 193'7 THE MICHIGAN DAILY PAGE FIFTEEN SATUItDAY, AUGUST 14, 1931 PAGE FIFTEEN 1inemen Strong But Wingbacks Worrying Kipke Await Answer On Twelve Ineligibles Now Listed In Summer School (Continued from Page 13) defense assignment thus calls for a guard who is not anxious to wade in and get himself cross-blocked, and Fred Olds and Ralph Heikkinen ap- peared to be the leading candidates at the end of Spring Practice. Archie Kodros, freshman guard who also got the call often in the off-season drills, will face a battery of five experienced guards from last year's squad, George Marzonie, Ernie Pederson, Jack Brennan, Fred Ziem, and "Dutch" Vandewater. Marzonie and Brennan are in summer school, but are not very far below the eli- gibility standard, and should not have much trouble. CENTER: There's no doubt about Captain Joe "Fighting Face" Rinaldi here, but replacements will give trou- ble with John Jordan on the lst of scholastically hopeless cases for 1937. Kiodros can play either guard or cen- ter, and two more freshmen, Tom Hutton and Horace Tinker are also under consideration. Pederson is an- other guard who can play center, and Vandewater was groomed for the job for a while last year. Quarterbacks Plentiful QUARTERBACK: Last year's trio, Bill Barclay, Doug Farmer, and Lou7 Levine, will be back intact, and rate, in about that order. While the posi- tion was not always played satis- factorily last year, experience should' do a lot, and improvement . showed; during Spring practice. WINGBACK: The loss of John; Smithers, which apparently is not yet absolutely definite, leaves Kipke with a lot of grief to handle here. Bob Coo- per may be shifted up from the tail- back post, and Ed Phillips and Bob Piotrowski are two more candidates if they regain eligibility, but none of; them can replace Johnny as a blocker. Norm Nickerson comes closest to him, but will have to show more speed to, be transferred from his fullback post. Bob Campbell may alternate between tailback and wingback, and two freshmen, Milo Sukup, ineligible, andc Hercules Renda, the unbelievable atom, are also under consideration.- Sweet Hard To Replace FULLBACK: Ced Sweet at present appears to be one graduate who can'tt be fully replaced. His two under- studies of last year, Tex Stanton and Bob Curren, will fight it out with Nickerson and two freshmen, JohnI Kinsey and Ed Christy. TAILBACK: Crossing off the tail-I backs who appear to be.headed for other positions, there remain Fredc Trosko, the Chicago Alumni Trophyc winner, Wally Hook, Stark Ritchie,t and Norm Purucker should he regain1 eligibility. The three veterans all had, off and on careers last year, and so are hard to rate. Trosko is the big question mark in Kipke's mind, for1 the head coach is counting on thet Flint sophomore, should he come upi to expectations, to do a big share of the kicking, passing, and signal call- ing when hie isn't busy, running for he is a hard worker and takes well to coaching, having the additional rec- ommendation of being in no scholas-l tic danger.t Trosko Heads Punters, SPECIALTIES: Kipke rates Tros- ko as the best of the punters at the present moment, but also wants Nick-I erson, Ritchie, Campbell, Puruckerc and Kinsey to go through kickingc drills. Trosko appears again on the list of passers along with the otherc three tailbacks, Campbell, and Coo-I per. Signals may become the job of any of the three quarterbacks, Tros- ko, Ritchie, or Purucker. The place- kicking assignment will be deter- mined by drills in which Paul Niel-1 son, Ann Arbor end, is likely to come out ahead. A season in which the Wolverines missed a possible victory over North- western, the toughest team in the conference, by the margin of a nar- rowly missed field goal early in the fourth quarter, cannot be written off as a total failure even if Columbia was the only team to fall before the+ Wolverines. Didn't Click Last Year Michigan had the raw material but it didn't seem to click together except for brief moments, and for the most part the material was raw in every sense of the word. This year almost the same material, coached to a more vicious blocking and tackling by Hunk Anderson, welded into a smoother organization by constant coaching and more team play, seasoned by a year's competi- tion and extensive drills, may unite to form the team which will really hit the comeback trail its three predeces- sors have failed to find. Minnesota, Ohio State, Northwest- ern, and Michigan State are as tough as ever. Pennsylvania loses the back- field it raised on the eight-year plan, but will be re-enforced by what last year was one of the strongest year- University Of Michigan Intramural Sports Building Weaker Big Ten Teams MichiganFootball (Continued from Page 13) bets.

El Sayre, center,' and Cliff Kuhn, midget guard. Ken Nelson veteran end, has graduatedI also. Dave Strong, who booted a dam- aging field goal against the Wolver- ines last fall, has expressed inten- tions of transferring his allegiance to Michigan this fall. Les Lindbergh, Zup's kicker, won't be around either. Lowell Spurgeon, captain-elect, will provide a threat with his ac- curate place-kicking. Zup will have to reach into his bag of tricks for more. Chicago seems securely ensconced in the Conference basement again. They simply won't encourage ath- letes to enroll there. So Clark Shaughnessy will have to find some- one to put in front of his two best Ohio State h valuable materi Frank Cummis ends, Inwood claimant to All-) Charles Hamrick, brilliant tackle, forsake Francis Schmidt's razzle- dazzle ranks. Tippy Dye's absence will be the greatest blow to Buckeye partisans. One of the Western Conference's greatest athletes, Dye was the hub of Schmidt's attack, a smart field gen- eral and a capable runner. "Jarring Jim" McDonald, bruising fullback, and "Jumping Joe" Wil- liams were to be Schmidt's chief backfield aces, but Williams is now reported ineligible. Unless a better- than-average sophomore crop is pre- sent, the Buckeye prestige seems des- tined to dip. Maybe Schmidt had Uram, Gmitro Return The backfield stars returning are Andy Uram, Rudy Gmitro, Larry Buhler, Vic Spadaccini, Whitman Rork, ad infinitum. And they have a sophomore coming up, Bonk's his name, who - Gopher informers say --- is another Nagurski, better than either Kostka or Joesting. Which is plenty of fullback. Thus you have the Wolverines' Conference opponents for next fall. And from this viewpoint, they don't appear overly tough, excepting again, Minnesota. If a "comeback" for Mich- igan is in order, the set-up is favor- able. Or is it? .-:_ ____ __ T .. __ _ _ .. _ _ _ __--__ -- -- - _ _ t Men's Clothes Of Value And Distinction At Wagner's University Boasts One Of The Finest ~Athletics For All' Programs In U. S. -~--~ "a. . and now . . . This University is one of the few large educational institutions in this country which cannot be accused of over-emphasizing intercollegiate ath- letics at the expense of intramural sports and which can undoubtedly boast one of the finest "athletics for all" programs in the United States. According to Elmer D. Mitchell, di- rector of Intramural athletics here, more than 300,000 students use the facilities of the huge new Intramural Sports Building, erected in 1928, during the course of a school year, and on the average of 1,000 to 15,000 use the building every day. Mitchell said that 7,500 men stu- dents in the University enrolled in some form of competitive intramural sport during the last school year, which is approximately 70 per cent of the student body, while 5,000 more were registered in more informal types of contests. -32 Sports Offered A total of 32 sports are offered the students and the entire intra- mural program at Michigan is wholly supported, with the exception of the instructors' salaries, by proceeds col- lected from intercollegiate football games. The salaries of teachers are paid from the University budget. According to Mitchell, a good share of the net profit from football, the only paying sport, goes for the main- tenance of indoor and outdoor ath- letic programs. The erection of Yost Field House in 1924, dedicated to the real "Grand Old Man" of Michigan Athletit's, Fielding H. Yost gave great impetus to the intramural sports program by removing all varsity practices and games from Waterman gymnasium, which building was at that time the focal point for all indoor intramural athletics. An even greater boon to the "ath- letics for all" program was the erec- tion of the huge Intramural Sports Building. Caters To All Tastes Housing almost every conceivable type of facility for the advancement of the intramural sports, the erection of this building, of course greatly fa- cilitated the program in a number of sports which heretofore had been partially neglected on the sports -pro- gram because of inadequate facilities. Chief among the new additions were swimming, basketball, boxing, wrestling, handball, squash, indoor baseball volleyball, indoor golf, water polo badminton, and tennis. Beside the large number of in- door athletic facilities of the Intra- mural Department, there are a great many outdoor sports available, some of which are organized under the de- partment and others which are of the more informal nature. The University of Michigan boasts the finest 18-hole golf course of any college or university in the country. It is a testing layout, affording the expert keen competition, yet- at the same time it is fair enough to allow a good score if said "dub" is fairly hot. The course is situated south of town, about a mile from the campus proper, in an exceedingly hilly terri- tory, and it is said that one of the finest thrills to be offered on the course is the view of the entire cam- pus among the huge oaks and maples in the valley below the eighteenth tee. 42 Tennis Courts Beside the excellent golfing facili- ties the University boasts 30 tennis courts at Ferry Field for the men students and 12 more at Palmer Field, reserved for the use of women stu- dents. Those at Ferry Fieldare prin- cipally clay, although there are a j few cement courts, while those at Palmer Field are one-third concrete. tifully clipped grass of the Palmer Field is used in the fall for field hockey. Despite the vast number of proj- ects in athletics carried out by both the women's and men's divisions of intramural athletics close attention is paid by both departments to the physical condition of students par- ticipating in the more strenuous sports. The men are required in all sports Woalverines Defend 4 Big Ten Crowns (Continued from Page 13) legiate meets, again leading the way, the Wolverines again bid fair to re- peat and gain their 10th Conference crown in 12 years and their fifth con- secutive national title. Wily Matt Mann's biggest problem will be to find a successor to Co- Captain Jack Kasley, world record holder in the breast stroke event, and a backstroker to take Fred Cody's place. A duo of freshman divers bid fair to continue the performances' of All-American Ben Grady, who took the National highboard title, and Ed Hutchins is a good replacement for Co-Captain Frank Barnard in the distance swim. Coach Charlie Hoyt's track team lived up to its reputation by taking its fourth consecutive indoor title at Chicago the same night that the swimmers were performing their ex- ploits. And with that team perform- ing at its best in the spring, the Wol- verines took Pittsburgh, with the famed Johnny Woodruff, and Cali- fornia's Bears in its stride before it handed Michigan its fourth Confer- ence title in the outdoor meet. Star performers were not lacking in the thinclad aggregation, but it was team balance that enabled them to come to the fore as the nation's best. The colored sophomore, Big Bill Wat- son, proved the team's most valuable man when he dominated the outdoor meet by taking first place points in the shot put, discus throw and the broad jump, but he was ably second- ed by "Singin' Sam" Stoller, who not only took the Big Ten century event but also the National Intercollegiate race over that distance, and Capt. requiring extended physical exertion, to undergo a physical examination, and every competitor in cross-coun- try, boxing, wrestling and long-dis- tance running is given a prescribed course of training so that he will be in proper condition before entering these events. A recent innovation in the depart- ment's policy is to give individual instruction in sports where there is sufficient demand. The regular in- tramural activity supervisors are as- sisted in this phase of the program, by the varsity coaches and student teachers. Instructions are now given in archery, codeball, badminton, box- ing, fencing, golf, handball, squash and Sigma Delta Psi, swimming, ten- nis, and wrestling. Besides the directly supervised ac- tivities mentioned before each season, there are a great many snorts and im- promptu games which are directly or indirectly stimulated by the formally organized intramural program. The better teams in the various sports usually hold many practices and un- scheduled games in addition to their regular schedule of contests. The tournaments, organized by the Intramural Department, include only a portion of those playing tennis, bas- ketball, playground ball, baseball, handball and horseshoes, as well as those engaged in bowling, wrestling, boxing, ice hockey and swimming. Bob Osgood, who set the world's rec- ord for the 120-yard high hurdle event at 14 seconds flat over a sodden track and in a driving rain. Both Stoller and. Osgood will be lost to the coming year's stiuad as well as Captain-Elect Steve Mason, Big Ten low hurdles champion whose untimely death was a recent blow: Major losses are Stan Birleson, in- door 440 champion, Clayt Brelsford, Howdy Davidson and Dave Hun, last year's national A.A.U. pole-vault champion. Sophomore talent, headed by Ralph Schwartzkopf, however, will again add to that balance that has characterized Wolverine track teams since Charlie Hoyt took over the reins. Schwartzkopf will bring points in the mile and two-mile, events in which Michigan has garnered few laurels in recent years, while others will bolster the team in every event but the dashes and the high jump.

Honor Societies For I Women On Campus- A re Presented Here (Continued from Page 10) This organization chooses its members from outstanding sopho- more women early in the spring. This organization plays an import- ant role in acquainting freshmen' women with the various phases of college life by holding meetings dur- ing the year. The various activities, such as Freshman Project, Sopho- more Cabaret, Junior Girls' Play, League committees and student publi- cations are discussed at these meet- ings. Early in the spring the Installation Banquet is held and at this time two' honor societies for senior women chose their new members. To be tap- ped for one of these organizations is the highest honor a senior woman can receive.
