" wi h +li! rF S V 2 1 R 1T GY l J Z PAGE T.H__,EE mffih9the s~u4f By HANK MANTHO Daily Sports Editor New Tryouts Report for Basketball Squad NE OF THE highlight attractions of the year will take place August 30, when the best college stars in the country that Coach Lynn Waldorf could summon to his aid, will tackle the unknown quantity of the Chicago Bears in Dyche Stadium. Coach Waldorf has at his disposal eight former Ohio State gridmen, and it may be possible that he will start seven players of the 1942 national *and Big Ten champion Buckeye squad for the All-Stars. This is probably the greatest number of candidates from any one school since this annual r summer game was innovated eleven years ago. Gene Fekete and Paul Sarringhaus, who performed in the Buckeye backfield previously but have been in the armed service for over a year, Joined the squad recently and have already established themselves in the mind of the All-Star squad's coaches. Fekete was the Big Ten's outstanding sophomore fullback in '42, while Sarringhaus, a bruising runner, played the tailback position. The biggest number of Buckeye representatives is on the front line, where the Ohioans have Jack Dugger, end; Bill Willis and Forrest Mc- Cafferty, tackles; Lynn Houston and Bob Jabbusch, guards, with Gordon Appleby taking over the pivot post. Thus, if the Buckeyes had one more lineman, they could easily field a better than average complete line for the All-Stars. r BILL WILLIS, a six foot, 220-pounder, has been an outstanding per- former for Ohio State for two years and captained last year's squad. While playing for the '42 champion squad, Willis blacked one of the few kicks that has ever been blocked against the Wolverines in Coach "Fritz" Crisler's tenure at Michigan. With the added experience he picked up last fall, there is no doubt that Willis will be counted upon heavily in the All-Star classic. Dugger tips the scales at 210 pounds, is 6 ft. 4 in. tall, and is well coordinated for his size. His speed is attested by the fact that he was on the first string basketball squad for State, which won the Big Ten title last fall. His pass catching leaves little to be desired, and the Glenn Dobbs to Dugger pass combination is being hailed as a chief surprise for the Bears. One of the few All-Americans on hand for this tilt is Houston, who is also in the army at present. Houston is not very big, but he has demonstrated his ability more than once, and should be one of the bulwarks of the All-Star line. These men from the Buckeyes, along with the other collegiate stars on hand should present a formid- able .array of talent. While on the other side of the fence, the Bears started their practice with 50 candidates, a majority of whom are comparative unknowns in the professional ranks. For a while it looked like none of the members of the 1943 world championship squad were coming back, and Ray "Scooter" McLean, a fast back, is the only one of importance that has reported for practice so far. OWEVER, the Bears suffered another setback in their plans when Danny Fortmann, brilliant guard and mainstay of the line, announced that his medical duties would be too much for him and that he would not be able to sign a contract to play this year. Though the Bears have some excellent players this season the squad will be green, and veterans like Sid Luckman, Bulldog Turner, Fortmann and Bronko Nagurski, who made the Bears the scourge of the Western Division, cannot help but be missed. As I sit back and listen to the names of some of these grid stars like Dugger, Tommy James, Houston, Fekete and Sarringhaus, it seems very natural to me, because I played against most of them in high school, and their names are almost as familiar as my own-maybe that's why I will go out on a limb and pick the All Stars over the Bears. But part of the reason could be that the critics observations of Luckman's value to his team could have won me to their side. Wolverine 1944 Grid Schedule May Offers $42,500 Prize Nelson, McSpaden Favored in Contest By The Associated Press CHICAGO, Aug. 23.- Golfdom's giddiest whirl with some of the con- fusion eliminated by three days of qualifying rounds, gets under way over the 72-hole medal play route tomorrow as George S. May presents his three-ply Woman-Amateur-Pro All-American race for $42,500 over Tam O'Shanter's rolling terrain. Field Cut Twenty-six Simon pures, survivors of a starting field of 384, along with 28 women from an original 49, and 100 of 240 professional entrants, were still in there ready to pitch and putt for the large lucre. Most of the "good ones" did not appear in the qualifying tests, being exempt along with an unknown num- ber of servicemen under the quaint rules set up for the seven-day merry- go-round which permits the stars to go directly into competition. All the hot-shots will be in the field, with Byron Nelson of Toledo, O., and Har- old (Jug) McSpaden of Philadelphia favored in the professional race which will net the winner some $13,- 462.50-a sum which no golfer has1 ever taken from a single tournament up to now. McSpaden Wins McSpaden and Nelson in a prac- tice warm-up today beat Bob Hamil- ton, new P.G.A. champion, and Sam Byrd by three strokes in a 12-hole match, each of the favorites being one under par, as was Byrd. Today's professional qualifier, due to start at 8 a.m., didn't get away until 11 because of a heavy rain, and the late starters were still hacking their way around when darkness fell. The best the pro's could do was a pair of 68's, turned in by Henry E. Williams, Jr., of Royersford, Pa., and Claude Harmon of Grosse Pointe Woods, Mich., each of whom ripped] two strokes off par on each half of the course. Furgol Leads Their scores, however, 'were still one over the brilliant 67 with which Ed Furgol, Detroit Public Linkster, paced the amateur field Monday. While the amateurs needed scores of 75 orabetter to get into the title play, 77 was good enough to A't into the professional fold. Darkness halted the qualifier with a half-dozen players still on the course, but only Ray Mangrum of Los Angeles and Eddie Held of St. Louis had much chance to break into the select fold when they finish to- morrow. Only five players of the big field were able to break par, Bud William-, son of Lincoln, Nebr., getting a 70, and Chick Rutan of Birmingham,2 Mich., and Steve Kovach of Taren- tum, Pa., making his first start as a professional, getting 71 each. Six others matched the card. Dickey, Hulse Graduate From Training School NEW YORK, Aug. 23-UP)-Lieut. William M. (Bill) Dickey, former New York Yankees' catcher, and Ensign William F. Hulse, former New York University runner and America's fastest outdoor miler, were in a class- of 858 officers graduated today at the United States Naval Training school at Fort Schuyler. Also in the class were Ensign Irving A. Hall, who play- ed football with the Philadelphia Eagles, and Ensign Maurice M. Craft, Jr., former outfielder with Boston Red Sox farm clubs. CLASSIFIED 1 1 DIRECTORY I Coach Barclay Issues Call for Candidates Only Two Civilians Respond to Coach's Call; New Prospective Cagers Undergo Scrimmages In response to a call for civilian tryouts for this year's Michigan basketball team, Coach Bill Barclay was confronted with 27 prospective cagers consisting of 23 Naval trainees, two Marines and only two civilians. However, Coach Barclay is issuing another call for civilians and any other persons eligible to play on the cage team. Those who are interested should report to Barclay on Friday between 3:00 and 5:30 at the I-M Building. __ Coach Barclay said that several MARQUETTE HOPEFULS-Coach Tom E. Stidman (right) is shown with two of- his prospective navy V-12 stars-guard Harold Holz (left) and fullback John Rudan. Holz, a Milwaukeean, starred as a freshman guard at Marquette last fall, while Rudan, from Racine, will be in his third season on the Hilltop varsity. NICE GOING, BOYS: Newliouser, Trout Installed In '20 Game Winners' Club' NEW YORK, Aug. 23-(R'-Hal Newhouser and Paul "Dizzy" Trout are traveling in rather select com- pany these days. They are the new members of Detroit's "20-game Win- ners' Club," which, since the Ameri- can League was organized in 1900, has had only 13 names on the roster. Trout, ace right hander, followed Newhouser into the 20-game victory class when he defeated the New York Yankees last Sunday, and it marked the sixth occasion that the Tigers have had two or more 20-game win- ners simultaneously. Killian, Mullin Win 20 The 13 members of this mythical club won 20 or more games 26 times, with the highlight of concentrated pitching strength coming in the club's first championship season- 1907-when Pat Donovan, Ed Kil- lian and George Mullin each won 20 or more, and Ed Siever won 19. The four accounted for 89 of the Ti- gers' 92 victories that year. Killian and Mullin had collaborat- ed two years earlier to gain 20 tri- umphs each, with Donovan only one game shy of that figure. Mullin was joined by a newcomer in the 20-game circle in 1909, when Ed Willett made the grade. Two Win 23 in 1915 Another pair, George Dauss and Harry Covelskie, teamed to notch 23 victories each in 1915, but not un- til 1934 did the club again boast two 20-game men. That year Tommy Bridges and Schoolboy Rowe won 24 and 22 games, respectively. Until Trout and Newhouser came along this year there were no more double winners, although Bobo New- som played a single role in 1439 and 1940 and Trout made it alone last year. Mullin elected himself to the 20- game club five times. Covelskie, Bridges and Dauss made it three times, with the first two doing it in successive years. Joe Yeager in 1900, and Ed Summers in 1908 were other lone 20-game performers. Young Ohioan I s Contestant In AAU Meet Jimmy McLean May Steal Contest Spotlight GREAT LAKES, Ill., Aug. 23.-(/P) -Entirely in keeping with the times, a 13-year-old lad-Jimmy McLane, Akron, O., distance swimmer-may steal the spotlight in the war-cur- tailed National AAU Outdoor Swim- ming Championships here Friday through Sunday. The three-day meet, which despite its designation will be held indoors in a giant pdol where Navy recruits are taught to swim, will have a com- paratively small field of 60 entries, few nationally promient. Jimmy, who won the Men's Na- tional AAU distance crown over a four-mile course at Williams Lake,; Kingston, N.Y., several weeks ago, is entered in the 400, 800 and 1,500- meter events. In the 400 and 800 meter races, Jimmy will buck up against the only returning champion, Gene Rogers of Columbia, who won both events last year at New London, Conn., at 440, and 880 yards. Also entered in the 400 and 800 meter affairs are Keo Nakama, Ohio State, and Jerry Kerschner, star freestyler who swam on Great Lakes' 1944 National AAU indoor title squad but now represents the Bunker Hill, Ind., Naval Air Station. The 100 and 200 meter freestyle sprints, in which champion Alan Ford of Yale will not defend, should be a toss-up between Kerschner and Achilles Pulakos, former Michigan star and key man on Great Lakes' revised squad. candidates from these newly report- ing groups would be chosen to aug- ment the 18 members of the squad who have been practicing since the beginning of the semester. The candidates who showed up today were put through a scrim- mage so that Barclay could see what they looked like and see what experience they had. This was done so that the part of the boys who had some previous experience could be weeded out from those who didn't. This is the first time in the history of basketball at the University of Michigan that practice has been held during the summer semester. The idea, no doubt, is to form a team that will be able to put forth a better showing in the Big Ten Conference and other non-conference games than last year's team did; and.per- haps make this year a perfect year for Wolverine athletics. Since the start of the semester, a hopeful group of Naval and Marine trainees and one civilian have been practicing the fundamentals of> the game. As the time passed the orig- inal group -of 23 candidates was cut to the present 18. If Coach Barclay has the same number of met on the squad as there were last year the squad should consist of 25. or so men. There were no outstanding can- didates in the group that reported today. However, the original squad that began in the first part of the semester had several men of note. Tommy King, Robb Rut- ledge and Bob Stevens were the only returning men from last years team.

While at the University, Stenberg was a member of the football team of 1943 which was famous for its "seven oak post" line. He was a substitute fullback and was colorful due to his shortness of stature. A sparkplug on the baseball team, Stenberg was the only member of the squad to chew tobacco.. With no forehand knowledge of hockey, he tried out for the team and fought his way to a position on the squad. Sten- berg was the leader of the team due to his fiery spirit.
