ANOTHER GREAT
ATHLETIC:LOOMS
AT MICHIGAN
Willis Ward Follows
In Footpaths Of
Great Athletes

The University Of Michigan has
developed some sterling athletes
during the many years the insti-
ution has been at Ann Arbor. Men
like Carl Johnsn, Willie Heston,
Benny Oosterbaan, DeHart Hub
bard, Eddie Tolan, Harry Kipke,
Ralph Craig, and others have add
ed lustre to the name of the uni
versity.
Craig. Hubbard, ToIan and
Johnson carried the maize and
blue to honors while members
Of the track and field teams.
Kipke and Oosterbaan and Heston
were stars on the football elevens.
Kipke and Oostcrbaan also won
letters in baseball and basketball.
Today Michigan has another
great performer on the athletic
field. Willis Ward, in his first sea
son as member Of the University
Of Michigan football team. made
creditable showing at an end pos
it;on. Since the end of the foot
ball season he has been competing
as member of the track team.
Ward has turned in some fine
performances since becoming a
member Of the university track
team. Perhap- his largest and fin
est contribution toward establish
ing himself as one of Michigan's
greatest athletes took place Sat
urday in the dual meet between
Michigan and Ohio State univer-
sity.
Ward won the 100-yard dash,
the running high jump, the run
ming broadjump and was a close
second TO Jack Keller, of Ohio, in
the high hurdles. His sterling per,
formance accounted for IS OF
Michigan's S3 is points, n,
against Ohio's 81 2-3
The former Northwestern hig
school star won the century in 81
seconds, the best time made b,
any Western Conference sprintei
this year. Considering that tho
track was wet and raw and chill
ly wind was sweeping across the
field, the time was very good.
Ward won the high jump with
ease, stopping at feet 10 inches
when he saw that he had the
event cinched. He leaped % feet
5 IL inches to win the broad
jump.

Again fear has caused Holman
Williams, one Of the best looking
young amateur prospects ever de-
veIoped in Detroit, to come out on
the short end of his return contest
with Chuck Woods. Woods de-
feated Williams in a ten-round
bout at the Naval Armory Thurs
day evening.
Detroit tribune. [volume] (Detroit, Mich.) 1933-1933, 1933-05-13

day night, but it was a hopeless !
case from the start. Williams had !
all of the physical requirements
to win the bout, but he just
couldn't overcome the fear which
was seething through his heart.
At the beginning Of the fight
Williams displayed his old form,
dancing in and out while singing
Woods with his rapier-like left
and countering with good right.
Williams is shifty on his feet, a
clever boxer and carries a good
punch in either hand. However,
as the fight progressed and Woods
connected with one or two hard
punches, Williams began a con-
slant back-pedaling running
away from Woods aggressive
punching. When he did attempt
10 fight back, which was seldom
his punches were wild and did MOI
carry any steam. Woods won the
decision by wide margin.
williams has all of the require
ments. to be top-notch fighter.
In training ne demonstrates his
ability to good advantage; but in
the ring, pitted against good OPP
ponent, he fails miserably. To
reach the top Williams must again
develop the same fighting spirit
which enabled him to give Richard
Carter severe beating in a re-
turn bout in the Olympic trials at
Los Angeles last summer. Carter
had beaten Williams in the finals
of the senior A. A. u. champion
ships at New York during the
winter; but the Detroiter revers-
ed the decision in the Los Angeles
bout because of his courage and |
aggrcssiveness. A reasserting Of |
this courage and aggressiveness,
coupled with Williams natural
ability and he will be champion of
the lightweight division. Without
it he will continue to be just an
other fighter.

James Mick Roberts, writing
in the Chicago Defender about
the Negro National League, says
among other things, There are
still few players left who were
in the league in 1920 that are still
with it now: Chicago, Malarcher,
Stearnes, and Crawford; Indiana

Moss, and Pittsburgh, Oscar Char

Roberts is wrong about Nor
man Stearnes having played with
a team in the Negro National Lea

the Detroit Stars April 2, 1923.
He played with Knoxville in 1920.
The next year he was with the
Montgomery White Sox and he
divided the season Of 1922 be-
between Memphis and Baltimore.
If Roberts had mentioned An
drew Louis Cooper, former star
southpaw pitcher for the Detroit
Stars, he would have been right.

Roberts also states that the Ne

presidents, Rube Foste. Judge
William Huoston, DR.. b. W. Jack
son and Gus Greenlee.
Foster and Hueston were the
only two presidents the Negro
National League ever had. Jack

ECONOMY BILL
BATTLE is ON
Senate Beats Down Move
for SidetraCking of
Roosevelt Plan.

By Jnted Press
WASHINGTON, March 13.-The
senate today beat down a back
bench rebellion against the admin
istration's plan to reduce veterans
compensation and federal pay rolls
AS Chairman Harrison of the
finance committee brought the
$500,00000O economy bill before the
senate, Senator McCarron dem.
New moved to sidetrack it by hav-
ing it referred to the judiciary com
mittee.
A viva voce vote hoWled McCar-
ron's proposal into temporary dis
card, but the gray-haired, burly
Westerner shouted from his rear-roW
seat that he wanted a division on
the question.
The test came on a proposal by
Chairman Harrison of the finance
committee that the freshman sem
ator's motion be tabled. Harrison s
motion won, so to 20.
The bitter fight opened with q
flood of Geographic protest ano
praise sweeping the senate. Thou
sands of messages were received by
senators today, many warning that
a vote for the Roosevelt program
would be political suicide.
Final passage of the bill seems
certain, however, with leaders OF
both parties backing it.
Support of the program by a
substantial majority of the Repub-
lican senate minority appeared vir-
tually assured today after a party
conference.
If the leaders are able to count q
tWo-thirdS majority for the bill they
probably will limit debate.
Senator Arthur Robinson (Rep.
Ind has prepared an address which
will take several hours to deliver
setting forth his opposition to re-
duction of veteran benefits. Senator

The final senate vote is expected
to show a larger majority for tn

KIDNAPPED Child
RETURNED HOME
Charges Against II Are
Dropped When Girl Is
Brought Back Safe.

BIZ United Press
RENSSELAER,, Ind, March 13.-
Patricia Pearl Trip, 4, was returned
to the home of her foster parents
Sunday after being held by kid
napers since Nov. 20.
The child was found by her grand
uncle, August Johnson, Hebron
farmer, who was released from Jail
at Gary upon his promise to return
her.
Charges against eleven other per-
sons held in connection with the
kidnapping we're dismissed by Prose-
cutor Robert G.. Estil of Lake county
when Patricia'S safety was assured.
He said the kidnapping apparently
was the outgrowth of family fight
over custody of Patricia, whose par
ents died two years ago. Johnson
was granted custody of the girl, but
the case was taken to court and she
was awarded to Mr.. and Mrs Ham
lin Smith of Rensselaer, who adopted
her.
A roughly dressed, foreign-l looking
man snatched Patricia from the
Smith farm house after gaining en-
trance upon the pretext of buying
eggs.

FAILURE to remember his Gus

jury investigation on liquor viola
ton charges.
Schaffer was met in the eleva-
tor of a downtown Office building,

The agent greeted Schaffer and
asked:
How many have you with you
this time?"
Just five pints this time"
Schaffer replied, according to the
agent.

here" the agent said, and Schaf-

Speaker Rainey said that beer
legislation would be expedited in
the house. The ways and means
committee was being organized to
handle the legislation and was ex-
pected to meet Tuesday to report
Immediately whatever type of leg
islation the President desires.
The Speaker added that immedi-
ately after securing the necessary
committee report, the beer bill will
be damned through the house.
Senate Majority Leader Joseph T.
Robinson told the United Press that
he planned to bring a modification
bill before the senate Immediately
after the pending economy bill is
disposed of and pass it promptly, in
accordance with the Presidents re-
quest for prompt action.
Will Raise Millions
The request for immediate action
on beer caught congress by sur
prise.
Leaders regarded it as a part of
the Presidents complete program.
They assumed that the call for
action now was to supplement the
$500, 100000 economy program, which
was taken up today by the senate
to assure balancing of the budget
now.
The beer bill, it is estimated. will
raise between $150,0OO,0 900 and $780,
100000.
The house passed q straight beer
Dill last session, authorizing an al
coholic content of 80 per cent. The
senate failed to act on a beer-wine
bill legalizing malt and vinous
liquors of not more than 3.O5 per
cent alcohol.
Cheered by House
The problem of balancing the
budget has come prominently to
the front because of the necessity of
refunding some 00,0O0.OOO in
treasury bonds March Is. The
treasury has announced short-term
issues, at the high rates of 4 and
Al per cent, to meet this financial
problem.
ASCo0IAlS VI the message IN the
senate passed without immediate
floor discussion.
When the Presidents message was
read to the house, the clerk con-
Stantly was interrupted by bursts
OF cheers and applause from both
the membership and the galleries.
Speaker Rainey was obliged con-
stantly to rap for order, so the
brief message might be heard in
its entirety.

Carpenter Gives Up Chance
for Work So He Can
Aid Child.

Throwing aside his first opportun-
ity in eight months to earn money,
James STROBE, 80, of 1902 East
Washington street, unemployed car
penter, this afternoon was wheeled
into a city hospital operating room
and gave three square inches of his
skin to save the life Of Kathleen
Carroll, 10, of 504 Dorman street.
I'm glad to do it for the little
girl if it'll give her a chance, said
Strobe as he and his freckles smiled
at hospital attaches.
Just few hours before the skim
grating began at l p. M, Strobe
was offered his first bit of employ
ment in the last eight months:
Patrolman John Moriarity wanted
kitchen cabinet built in his home.
STROBE couldn't take the job.
He'll Get His Job
But brother officers of Moriarity,
who works a night shift and could
not be reached, assert that STROBE
will have his job when he's we'll
again.
The grating was performed I'M
der local anesthetics. Skin from
Strode's leg was transferred to the
breast of the child. The entire
operation consumed but twenty
minutes. The girl was burned re-
Gently at her home when her
clothing caught fire from stove.
Good-naturedly, Strobe laughed at
the fact that three square inches of
his freckled skin" was being trans
fered to the child.
They won't find much skin that
hasn't freckles or tattooS,' he said,
as he rolled up a sleeve and barred
an arm which had been scared by
the electric needle of tatooers dur
ing his sojourn in the navy in the
World war.
One of so Applicants
But the freckled skin of Strobe
will not make any difference to
Kathleen, for she, too, is freckled.
The freckles, doctors, said, however,
had nothing to do with the rare
type of blood necessary before the
grating could be accomplished.
Strobe was one of fifty applicants
who proffered their skin at the city
hospital and underwent a series of
blood tests as doctors sought to find
blood compatible with Kathleen's
and would successfully terminate
the skin-grafting.
II saw the request for aid in a
paper. My wife showed it to me.
We have no children and we dis
cussed helping the child. Then I
went TO the hospital and volun-
TERED" he said.
TITS a little thing to do. I didn't
realize so much fuss would be made
over it." STROBE declared shortly be-
fore he was taken to the operating
room.
