WITH TRACK considered a
form sport, it is usually pos-
Bible to come fairly close in se-
lecting winners beforehand. For
instance, in the Final Olympic
Track and Field tryouts this com-
ing weekend at Dyche Stadium, it
wouldn't be too hazardous to say
that if all goes according to plan,
Michigan will be represented by
:wo stars in the coming Garnes in
londoh W
Capt. Herb Barten of the Wol-
verine track squad, on the basis
. of past performances, s ho u ld
talify in the 800 meter event. If
circumstances prevent his doing
so, he should make the squad in
the 1500, although the latter is a
much more difficult assignment
for Barten.
Charlie Fonville, undisputed
king of the world shot put ar-
tists, should have little trouble
annexing a first in his specialty.
Holder of the unofficial (as yet)
world heave of 58' % ", Charlie
will have no competitors who
have bettered 55'. Of course,
Fonville has been bothered of
late with back trouble and a lot
will depend on the shape he is in
next Friday..
The Art Cinema League
presents
Getting back to Barten, who
only last Saturday ran a superla-
tive 800 meter to whcip a classy
field at Milwaukee at the AAU's,
competition should be tougher.
The slender Wolverine speedster
will have to face among others,
Mal Whitfield, ex-OSU ace who
will wear the colors of the Air
Force in Friday's meet.
W HITFIELD, who did not com-
pete in the 800 at Milwaukee,
won that event in the NCAA meet
earlier in the year in the sparkling
time of :51.1, two-tenths better
than Barten's time in winning the
AAU crown.
In the 1500, Barten will face
another red-hot field. The out-
standing participant in this
trial will be Gil Dodds, the "Fly-
ing Parson," who copped this
event in the AAU last week with
a fair 3:52. At that, Dodds the
favorite, only trimmed Roland
Sink, USC specialist, by four
,yards
Also included in the field will
be Don Gehrmann, who defeated
Barten in the NCAA, but whom
the Wolverine has defeated in
their last two starts, Gerry Kar-
ver of Penn State, Bill Leonard,
Notre Dame, Bill Hulse, ex-mile
king running for tce New York
A.C., and Bill Mack from East
Lansing.
If Barten can continue running
as he has been recently, he should
take at the very least a second
in the 800. For on form, the only
other man in the field considered
better than the Michigan captain
is Whitfield.
In the 1500, it will be a tuugh-
er grind. At that, though, Barten
shouldn't be lower than third.
In this event, Dodds and Sink
will be the boys to watch.
Fonville's success will depend on
no one but the Detroiter, himself.
If his back is healed and the
weather is right, there is no reason
that it can't be a mere warmup
for Michigan Charlie.
As I said, track and field events
usually can be determincl by past
performances-but you can never
rule out the 'ifs'."

DETROIT, July 7--.1)-The
big splash for berths on the Amer-
ican Olympic swimming and div-
ing teams begins tomorrow morn-
ing at the Rouge Park Pools.
In four days of competition
ending Sunday, 21 women and 27
men will board the boat or air-
plane rides leading to the world
competition beginning at Wemb-
ley, London, July 29.
They will be winnowed out of a
posted field of 401 including two
girl divers going back as far as
the 1932 games at Los Angeles.
Men To Fly
The men will fly direct to Lon-
don from their triumphs here un-
der command of Yale's veteran
Olympic Coach, Robert J. H. Kip-
huth, and the girls will sail from
New York July 14 aboard the U.S.
Liner America in tow of Ray
Daughters, their Olympic coach
from the Washington A.C., Seat-
tle, who has turned out such stars
as Helene Madison and Jack Med-
ica of past Olympic fame..
Kiphuth's ow n100-meter ace,
world record holder Alan Ford of
the Yale Swimming Club, reported
during the day that he was re-
covering from food poisoning that
threatened to eliminate haim from
the big chance. Ford told reporters
from his hotel room that he
couldn't think of wasting his long
training without at least getting
wet'
Ford Hopes To Start
Ford said he would be a starter
in the free style sprint heats to-
morrow morning and, he hoped, in
the only final contest of the
Thursday afternoon program
Three will win places on the
Olympic teams in each of the faol-
lowing events: for men-spring-
board diving, high platform div-.
ing, 100-meter free style, 200-
meter free style, 400-meter free
style, 100-meter back stroke, 200-
meter breast stroke, 1500-meter
free style; for women-spring-
board diving, high platform div-
ing, 100-meter free style, 400-
meter free style, 200-meter breast
stroke, 100-meter back stroke. Ex-
tra places will be awarded to fill
out relay teams.

CHICAGO, July 7 - (JP)- The
American Olympic financial
prospect brightened today but the
team outlook was overcast by in-
jury to Gil Dodds.
Dodds, the only United States
distance runner with a real chance
to score, has a strained AchillesI
tendon in the left leg. If this
should force him out of the 1,500
meter final tryout in Evanston
Saturday the Olympic Comnitte
would be compelled to leave him
off the team.
At Boston, Dodds jogged
through a 45-minute workout
with his injured leg encased ir
plaster half-wa~y to the knee and
said he would try to run at
Evanston.
The Flying Parson also wore a
two-inch rubber-cushioned heel
on the injured leg. All of which
indicated he would be far from
his best in the Olympic test.
On the brighter side, Owen Van
Camp, Olympic Treasurer, re-
ported that 28,000 was received
overnight, bringing the total on
hand to $358,000 against a budget;
of $5i00,000. An a dditional $80,000}
Is, p:lediged.
if Hodds fails to respond to
trea tmentt inY time trs compete iri
tihe tr~youts, or in iishes forsthtl
osr Wrse, a situatiojn similar to
the 1936 nole vault will arise.
Then George Varoff of the San
Francisco Olympic Club set a
world record of 14 feet 6«
inches in the National AA.J.U.
championships but could do only
14 feet the next week in the
alynpic tryouts and was regret-"
fully left behind when the team
sailed for London.
Dodds had been counted to take
fourth place or possibly a little
better in the 1,500 at London. In
the longer races no American is
given a chance.
An international gesture of good
wvill sent pole vaulters' spirits
soaring along with the marks. A
consignment of 50 special bam-
boo poles was received from Japan,
forward by Shuel Nishida, who
was runnerup to Earl Meodaws in
the vault at Berlin. Richmond
(Boo) Morcom and others imme-
diately put them in use, terming
then the "greatest thing" they had
seen in poles-light, and with
plenty of spring.
A sticker on each ple wished
the American vaulters good luck.
Japan was not invited to the Lon-
don games.

CLEVELAND, July 7-IP)--The
pennant-chasing Cleveland In-
dians today signed that (lid vet-
eran Satchel Paige as a relief
pitcher.
The tall, lean hurler who had
a fabulous car(eer in the Negro
Leagues and the exhibition en'-
cuit put on a Major League uni-
form for the first time itoday. But
he isn't scared. IIe st omed it; all
Not Afraid
"I'm starting my Major League
career with one thing in my favor,
anyway. I won't be afraid of anly-
body I see in that batter's box.
I've been around too long for
that."
That was the famous Leroy
{:Satchel) Paige of Negro Baseball
fame, who has fogged his "hurry
up" ball and "bat dodger'' past;
Major Leaguers in many an ex-
ilibition game for years.
Just how long he has 'been
around," or how many games he
iis won7, isnl't very(clear.
"'Born ill Mobile,'' hle sid
" Sept. 18,> 1908 ." Ils is age has> been
estinated in the 40's and even
50's, but he says he was eligible
for the draft all through the sec-
ond, World War.
May Bolster lennant Drive !
Bill Veeck signedl him up f iltle
hope his rigt-laud relief pit(cl-
ing could bolster the Tribe's drive
for a pennant. Veeck bought;
Paige's contract from t I he Kansas
City Monamels of' the Negro
American 1league. 0iw much Sa t
chel will be paitl wasn't old. Boit,
his re'elt earnings i ve been es-

Leo Durocher, manager of the
Dodgers, who will pilot the All-

lineup designated by the fans
for the first three innings. The
remainder of the 25-player
squad follows closely the fan vot-
ing.
Among the regulars will be
Eddie Stanky, former Dodger in-
fielder, who was traded to the
Braves last spring. The scrappy
second baseman has played a
wxvale of a game for his new club
and is hitting over .300 for the
