Crisler Heads for Chicago-
Assembly of Conferences
Has No Definite Proposals To Present;
Amteurism To Be Key-Note of Meeting
Coach H. 0. "Fritz" Crisler leaves
Ann Arbor this morning to attend the
general meeting of American collegi-
ate conferences being held in Chi-
cago tomorrow and Tuesday.
Crisler is official representative of
the Western Conference, along with
Prof. George Richert of Illinois.
Asked if he had any particular sub-
ject which he wished to touch upon
at the gathering, Crisler said yester-
day, "I am going to the meeting with
an open mind. I have not seen any
specific agenda concerning the topics
which are going to be discussed, but
the key-note of the conference will
be the question of amateurism as
against semi-professionalism in col-
lege athletics."'
Sponsored by Tug Wilson
The meeting of the conferences is
being sponsored by Big Ten Commis-
sioner Tug Wilson, and precedes a
Wednesday assembly of the National
Collegiate Athletic Association Coun-
cil.
It is hoped that the meeting will
clarify the picture of college athletics
as it looks today, bringing to light
many of' the problems which face
scholastic sports. Wilson, also sec-
retary of the NCAA, feels that the
Chicago discussion will indicate what
action should be taken at the coming
annual meeting of the NCAA in New
York.
Commenting on the possible re-
sults of the conference, Coach Cris-
ler declared, "I hope that many
things will come out of this meeting
which will act strongly to the definite
advantage of inter-collegiate sports.
We want very much to strengthen
the spirit of amateurism in athletics."
No Actual Alarm
In his statement announcing the
meeting Wilson expressed the opinion
that there was no actual feeling of
great alarm over the condition of
collegiate sports, but continued that
the conferences should get together
and coordinate their actions in pro-
moting scholastic athletics before
some permanent damage is suffered.
Representatives from the Border,
Central Collegiate, Middle Atlantic,
Mid-West, Big Six, Missouri Valley,
Mountain States, Pacific Coast,
Southeastern, Southern, Southwest,
Eastern, Western, Obio, Ivy, and
Rocky Mountain Conferences will at-
tend the sessions.

LOS ANGELES, July 20-The Los
Angeles Rams of the National Foot-
ball League today signed Tom Har-
mon, fresh from a snubbing by the
Los Angeles Dons of the rival All-
America conference, to a two-year
playing contract.

Canja Cops Diving Title
DETROIT, July 20-(IP)-Alex
Canja, University of Michigan
diving ace, won the three-meter
springboard diving title today in
the Michigan AAU swimming
meet held at Rouge Pool.
Michigan State entries splashed
their way to team and individual
honors racking up a total of 67
points to 13 for Kronk, in the run-
ner-up spot. The Detroit Athletic
Club totalled 12 points, U of Mich-
igan, 6; Wayne, 5; and Grosse
Pointe, 2.
from the Chicago Bears in exchange
for halfback Dante Magnani and
tackle Fred Davis. Terms were not
disclosed, but Walsh declared Har-
mon will be paid a salary "in keep-
ing with his ability and reputation."
Signing of the former Michigan
All-America (1938 and 1939) added
more torrid feelings between the
Rams and the Dons. Only yesterday
Slip Madigan, Dons' general mana-
ger, said his club had stopped nego-
tiations with Harmon, who, he add-
ed, was "away from football too long
and ... too much interested in ra-
dio work."
Walsh, in his announcement to-
day, upbraided Madigan for "q
most upsportsmanlike gesture in
suggesting Harmon was an in-
ferior player."
"Harmon is 26, the same age as
Bob Waterfield, our quarter-back
who last year was the most valuable
player in the National League,"
Walsh fumed in his statement. "The
entire National League considers it
a great honor to accept Harmon as
a player, returning war veteran and
highly respected individual.
Rams' Coach Adam Walsh said
Harmon will play left half and wear
his famous No. 98 jersey.
The Michigan star, who now re-
sides in nearby San Francisco Valley
with actress wife, Elyse Knox, and
their daughter, will return to the
Rams' training camp at Compton
July 29.

AMERICAN LEAGUE
FORTHREOD.
By JACK MARTIN, Daily Sports Editor
COACH RAY FISHER during his extensive tenure at the helm of Wol-
verine diamond squads has probably produced more championship ag-
gregations than any other two colleges in the country can boast. In addi-
tion to fashioning top-notch teams, however, Ray has launched many an
individual star into a successful career in the highest brackets of baseball.
The latest installment to this ever-continuing story is now taking
place in the Eastern League, where a pair of Michigan's outstanding
sluggers are being initiated into O.B. at Williamsport, Pa. Bruce Blan-
chard has been there since early season, while Elmer Swanson, after a
preliminary report at Buffalo, has just joined him.
The name of Elmer Swanson is extremely fresh in the memories of
Wolverine baseball fans, having clouted homers and triples all over the
Western Conference only last Spring. Blanchard, on the other hand, has
been absent from the Michigan sports scene since 1944 due to an iron-clad
contract with the Marines. Discharged last Spring, he was immediately
grabbed by the Detroit Tigers and farmed to their Eastern club.
First reports on his progress are now trickling back, and it seems
the Ex-Marine has the situation well in hand. He has been boosted by
his Williamsport bosses into the lead-off spot in the batting line-up, and
is currently blasting the ball at an average pace of well over .300. A red-
letter day came on July 7 when he connected for his first professional
home run against Scranton, a rather solid blow that sailed 370 feet. ,
Blanchard also provided his owners with a few eye-openers when the
Tigers invaded Williamsport for an exhibition game and he bored through
Detroit pitching for a two-for-four performance at the plate.
THERE IS A TALE behind Bruce Blanchard's rise to fame that has never
been told. It begins at Cooley High School in Detroit where Bruce re-
ceived his prep school education-and it begins with a touch of irony. For
Blanchard, later to become one of Michigan's infield greats and destined
for duty in big time circles, did not make his high school nine!
In his second year at Cooley High in 1939, Bruce, who had breathed
baseball since he was a tyke, decided to try for the school squad. Third
base was his choice, but it so happened that, at that particular time, the
hot corner was in the hands of the team captain; so the young rookie
was relegated into the distant background.
Disappointed but undaunted, Bruce turned from his scholastic scene
and plunged into the crowded and confused Detroit. sand-lot picture. In
a short few weeks he became the most respected newcomer in the league and
a bane to the existence of all enemy pitchers. In his first season, playing for
a Class D outfit, he slammed the ball all over the Motor City for a terrific.
season batting average of .520.
It was only the beginning. He repeated his torrid performance in
1941, ending the year slugging at a .465 pace. Bruce then went to Kiski
Prep School in Pennsylvania, where, with tongue.in cheek, remembering
his high'school experience, he ventured out for the school team, He not
only made the squad-he shattered all the local hitting records into
atoms, establishing an all-time batting tecord with a season average of
.630. This was the third baseman for whom Cooley High had no room!
RETURNING to the sand-lot wars, Bruce helped the Altes nine capture the
crown, and again struck terror into the souls of opposing pitchers with
a .420 average. In 1942 he set a record when he walked off with his third
Sandlotter-of-the-month award in July. The first two came in 1940-41. No
other player in the circuit's history has carried home three of the' coveted
prizes. At the time he won the third trophy, Bruce was hitting at a fantastic
.778 average.
It is one of the unexplained wonders of the baseball game that during
this period when Bruce Blanchard was literally setting fire to the base-
paths of Detroit's, sand-lot diamonds. he was never. seen on his hirh
school nine's roster. One can only raise an eye-browshrUg a-shoulder, .
and murmur, "That's baseball!"
