ST0LLER TRAINING
FOR RADIO CAREER
Former Ace Splinter Hopes
To Land Radio Job Through
Big Track Meets

ANN ARBOR, Mich, Jan. 24-R
Lady Luck has dealt few aces to
"Singin' Sam, the sprintin' man" but
he's back in the game for one moro
deal.
"Sprintin' Sam" is Sam Stoller,
picked by many track critics as the
country's No. 1 sprinter of 1887, his
senior year at the University Of
Michigan.
Stoller at "a is ready for his last
season Of competitive running-and
he hopes he will run himself right
into a job as a radio announcer or
a crooner.
For Stoller much has happened
since he quit Ann Arbor after get.
ting a diploma 30 months ago. First,
he went to Hollywood where he ap.
peared in minor roles in Is pictures.
Accompanied by three former
Southern California trackmen, Sam
then went to the Philippines and
what was intended to be a brief visit
developed into a stay Of a year and
one.half and marriage. While Ii,
was in Manila, Stoller got a chance
to sing and announce over q radio
station.
Last September Sam brought his
bride home and returned to the
Michigan campus. He arises at 4:45
a. m. each working day and goes
to his job in a Detroit auto plant.
He gets back in Ann Arbor at s
p. m. and works out in the huge
Yost Field house.

important outdoor track meets are

less he lands a job in radio before
the season ends.
IF I don't find the job in the fie.. I
I have chosen, my wife and 7 will
go back to Manila and the radio
station I left" says Stoller.
Oddly enough Stoller achieved
more fame for not running rne race
than he did for all of his victories.
This came when he was denied
one Of the great ambitions of his
career-to run in the Olympic games
at Berlin.
He earned a place on the United
States squad but never got a chance
to compete because Ralph Metcalfe
was picked in his place on a relay
team that set a world record.
A week ago Stroller reeled off go
yards in 6.3 seconds, his best triol
performance to date.

Series probably feel the same way).
But with Buck Walters, the leading
pitcher of the league, coupled With
Paul Derringer, Junior Thompson,
VanderMeer and Jim Turner, ct
cetera, the Reds. still have the best
mound staff in the circuit.
They have a good infield. The
butter garden is weak in spots. But
the biggest question in the Reds
camp is behind the plate. Seems
like everyone remembers the famous
"snooze" of lombard at the plate in
that crucial series game.
But still from a preseason fore

And we are not overlooking the
threat of the Dodgers.
