FOR MICHIGAN ALUMNI

T~7TIS is especially for alum
nj of the University of
J Michigan. Others need not
read it; it might make them feel
bad. Seldom has a school made
such a remarkable showing in
athletics as the Wolverines during
the past year,
The basketball team tied for the
Big Ten title after apparently be-
ing forced out Of the running by
ineligibility. At the end of the
year most critics believed Michi-
gan had the most powerful club in
the conference.
Every one knows what the VOL
verines did on the gridiron. The
great eleven was rated on equal
terms with Dartmouth, Tulane
and Alabama, for national hon
ors.
But that's nd the half of it,
Mabel The amazing Wolverines
went out and copied the outdoor
track championship of the Big
Ten and also took the baseball
title.
Michigan has reached the peak.
1t is always rather disconcerting
to the race track followers to see
different horses picked in the same
race as the best bets Of the day.
Probably neither selection wins
when the result comes in. There
is no more uncertain game in the
sport category.

STRANGE COINCIDENCE

When the Athletics stopped New
York after the Yankees had won 16
straight games, it was history re-
peating itself.
Earlier in the season New York
had won nine straight games when
it met Philadelphia in a three-game
series. The Athletics won all three
games. -
Getting away from Philadelphia
New York started on another win
ming streak that reached sixteen
straight. when the Mackmen were
again encountered.
This time in a four-game series.
After breaking the streak. the Ath-
letics won two more games, drop
ping the final contest.
And in each instance. 1t was
Southpaw Bob Grove who put an
end to the Yankees winning ways.

GETTING A BREAK

After several disappointing years
it is beginning to look as if the ef-
forts of Bob Quinn and Manager Lee
Foil were bearing fruit.
Most necessary to a winning ball
club in the majors is a strong in
field. At present the Boston club Is
better fortified in inf1eld strength
than in any other department of
play.
Haney and R1gney, former Detroit
stars, have filed the gaps at third
and short in fine style. Mike Her
rera, the Cuban, Is a very satisfac-
tory second baseman and Phil Todt
is mighty capable at first.
The Boston Red Sox have COM
pleted the laying of the foundation
for good team, in getting together
an infeld of major league caliber.
The next problem is the outfield.
In Ira F1agtsead. Manager Foil has
one Of the best center fielders in the
game. Two more outf1elders like
him would solve the situation.

TWO GREAT ATHLETES
BY N'EDDER GARD

INCONSISTENCY, thou art
jewel. Phillips of Butler
has been boosted time af-
ter time in, this column and once
more we want to say in capital
letters-THAT YOUTH IS A
WONDERFUL MIDDLE DIS
LANCE RUNNER.
He doesn't run one day and
falter the next. He is consist
emily great. When Uncle Sam
starts looking around for his
Olympic team in 1928, he sure
ly can not pass up HeTInon
Phillips.
When an athlete can win in
such a meet at the National Col
legiate A. A. tourney he has ac-
complished something. When he
runs the 440 in 48.7. he is ram
bling. Butler never has become
half excited enough about it's star
runner.
And while showering praises on
Phillips we must not forget
local youth, Paul Harrington, who
completes for Notre Dame. He is
undoubtedly one of the greatest
college pole vaulters.
Paul few to Chicago in an
airpIane for the meet. When he
got there he kept right on flying
and cleared the bar at Ii feet,
inches.
Gil Dobie Of Cornell is to teach
football at the University of Hi
nois summer course for athletic
coaches. The gloomy one should
be able to hand out some first
hand information concerning the
Dartmouth aerial attack. His
eleven saw and felt the barrage
in all it's power. Probably Dobie's
tip to the assembled coaches will
be, Go get yourselves an Ober-
lander"
An accurate measurement of
the track at Soldiers field, Chi
oago, was to be made today. On
the result of the check will de-
pend a worlds record. Alva
Martin of Northwestern ran the
half-nile in the astonishing time
of 1:51E at the n. C.. A. A.
meet on Saturday. The worlds
record is held by Meredith and
is 1:52.2.

Psychology in Sport

There is no doubt as to the power
of psychology in sport.
Recently the Philadelphia Athlet-
isc, after topping over Washington
and New York in seven out of nine
games, invaded Boston for a five
game series.
The moment Howard Ehnke, star
pitcher of the Red Sox, began warm
ing up, hope of victory started to
vanish on the part Of the AS.
There is one guy who is tough
for us to beat" was the consensus
of the Mackmen.
Ehmke, since his entry into the
majors, has been a jinx for the
Philadelphia club. No matter how
poorly he may be going, he always
rises to great heights against the
Athletics.
This game was no exception. Pit
ted against the great Lefty Grove,
Ehmke hurled faultlessly, shutting
out the Athletes, 20 He drove In
the first run and scored the other

Defective Mortar and un- favorable Soil Condi- tions Responsible, Fi- nance Board Is Told.

Poor workmanship and defective mortar joined with bad soil condi- tions to cause undermining of a foundation at the Smith school making condemnation Of the build ing necessary, Architect Max unkeI- bach informed the board Of finance and taxation last night when the board met to appropriate $26,5oo 10 repair the building.
 It was decided to extend the cost over a period of three years on city notes, with the city reserving the right to anticipate and take up the note in advance.
 John E. Downes, superintendent of school construction, told the com mittee the foundations have drop ped and a corridor wall at one point is five inches out of plumb.
 The trouble, the school officials found on investigation. was not in the part of the building which has been standing half q century, but in a section constructed about II years ago. The mode of construction and the character of the workmanship exhibited were criticised by the architect, the superintendent, mem Ders of the school board and by the hartman of the board of finance
 nd taxation. Senator Hall

Ig,0O0 CARS SCRAPPED
 IN CONN. LAST SEASON
But Records Show Some Cars Still on Road Are
 16 Years Old

Hartford. Conn, July g CPl-Al- though the average life of motor vehicles has recently been found to be eight years. the files of the state motor vehicle department show that there are automobiles at least 16 years old in operation in Con- necticut today. When some Of these old veterans first went into service, Connecticut had less than one-six- tccuth the number of motor vehi- cIes it has registered today and there was only one car for every e persons in the state. as against one for every seven persons today
 Most of these old cars, registered us far back as 1910, have long since gone out or manufacture. but few were made by manufacturers who still put out cars by the same name.
 The average life Of motor vehi- clas has been extended in recent years. Cars made about 1909 had an average life of five years. About 1914 the average life Of cars be- came about six and a half years and the trend has been gradually upward.
 About 19,0Oo motor vehicles are estimated to have been scrapped in Connecticut last year. notwith- standing an increased registration of about SS,O0o cars in the state. Through the United States about 1,50&.000 ears were scrapped last year.

Dewey Kile, One of Three Rescued at time of Tragedy, Aiding in SaIv- age Work-NavaI In- quiry Board Resumes.

New York, July g OP-The grim task Of removing the dead from the battered U. S. submarine S-51 be- gan today and was expected to bs completed before uightfall.
 How many bodies of the 25 men unaccounted for since the submarine sunk last September off Block Is- land remained in the great steel coffin during the nine months 1t lay under the sea, could not be told un- til the removal was completed.
 What other secrets of the tragedy might be revealed during the day navy officers would not even hazard Ia guess.
 Water Is Pumped Out
 All the water was pumped from .the drydock in which the undersea boat lies. Newspaper men were per- mitted to watch the operations as the sinking water slowly laid bare the discolored and seaweed mantled hulk with the great gash near it's Iconning tower when the steel brow of the steamer City of Rome rent lit open.
 When the collision occurred S6 officers and men were aboard. Three were saved and eight bodies were ! later recovered. Some Of the re- imaining 25 have been seen in the control room by divers who inspect led the ship on the ocean bed pre- Iparatory to raising it and bringing it here. But it is believed some may have been washed out and their bodies lost forever.
 Public Excluded Today As soon as the craft was ready to be opened today newspaper men and all others not directly needed for tthe task In hand were excluded from the navy yard. It was said that re- Iporters would be allowed back to- morrow morning and later the yard will be thrown open to the public for inspection of the hulk whose se- crets will by then have been learn ed.
