Mann Addresses
Varsity Members

Roosevelt High Schools newly
organized Varsity Club held its
second meeting Of the year Thurs
day evening in the form OF a din
ner meeting at Charles Mckenny
Hall, and Matt Mann; swimming
Coach of the University Of Mich
igan, was the featured speaker.
Absent from the list of clubs and
social organizations of the school
for many years, the Varsity Club
by popular request was reorgan
lied this year and strenuous ef-
forts are being made for its re-es-
tablishment as one of the schools
regular organizations.
The subject of Coach Mann's
talk was of course swimming, as he
commented on the closeness of the
1910 State swimming meet in
which Roosevelts team missed by
only one and a half points the
winning Of the State crown. Coach
Mann then exhibited three reels
of motion pictures, the first of
which showed in detail the Nation
al FAsas - GN hittA hCih INoA
a few weeks ago in Ann Arbor.
His last two films were in. tech
nicolor and were taken during his
stay in Fort Lauderdale, Florida
the past winter.
Coach Mann with forty OF his
swimmers attended the swimming
carnival which is held annually
down there around Christmas time,
and with about seven hundred
other coaches and swimmers main
ly from the eastern seaboard, the
Michigan contigent spent two
weeks there Coach Manns stay
was graphically illustrated on film,
and with many of the nation
stars being portrayed in slow mo-
ton, detailed study Of their
strokes was possible so the eve
ming proved we'll worth while to
the boys present.

Rain Halts City
League Contest

Only one inning Of the Central
Speciality United Stove City
League game scheduled for Rec
reation Park Thursday night was
completed before the rain when
had been threatening all evening
finally came down and caused the
contest to be postponed. Although
games which have to be postponed
are usually not very well received
by either the players or managers,
this one was definitely welcomed
by the entire Central Specially
team which was four runs TO the
bad at the time.
Five errors and one flukey hit

Company's total and II the Special.

Local Boys Drop
But One Match,

Captain Durham in

Slot PAGES Team

Roosevelt High Schools net
team travelled to Crosse Pointe
Thursday afternoon to engage the
Detroit University School on the
courts and found very little COM
petition. The D. U. S. boys who
were able to capture but one
match, the second doubles, as
they were defeated Al. The local
boys proved just too powerful for
their opponents as they swept all
three singles matches in straight
sets, and took a close No. doub-
les decision.
Captain Glen Durham in the
No. 2 singles slot paced the team
as he allowed his opponent to take
only two games Of. the fourteen
necessary for the two sets. His
6-1. 81 victory over Marinus
wasn't quite equalled by Bob
Moorman at No. l who also had a
rather easy time as he set Blasier
back by Ga, 81 scores. ellis
Turner at No. 3 also had the sit
uation we'll in hand as he took his
match from Wilson 6-3. So.
Although the Crosse Pointe
team was quite weak in the sing.

binations we're long ways from
being pushovers. The No. ! doub-
les combination Of Ray and Nc
Cauley proved very troublesome
to Bob Ferguson and Brookshire
Richardson who were forced to
play thtrty=seven games before
finally winning out. The local pair
dropped the initial set by a 6-3
score, but eked out S-6, S-6 wins
in the final two sets to win.
The freshman combination OF
Bob Chisel and Dave elmer were
defeated in a three set match but
their loss can mainly be set
down to lack OF experience.
After losing the first set 81, the
two easily took the second as
they rode over their opponents

D. U. S. representatives held just
as wide a margin II not more In

Interest in Softball Lays,
But One League Being Planned

One year ago 20 softball teams
were preparing for the opening OF
the City League season. OF that
number. only seven were making
preparations today.
The reasons for this amazing de-
cline In Ypsilanti softball are two,
team managers agree, poor dia-
monds and lack of players.
The most discouraging factor is
the poor condition of the playing
fields. Although the Recreation De-
partment has recommended for
many years that full-time work
man be kept busy in maintaining
the diamonds, the suggestion has
not been approved.
In addition, a great number OF
high school youngsters, who ordin-
arily would play softball during the
summer, are shifting their atten.
ton to baseball.
Competition will be limited TO one
softball league this season. The
seven teams which have entered
and their managers are: Ypsilanti
Merchants, L. A. Murdoch; Motor
State, E. R. Beardsley; Central
Specially, Herm Salomonson; Unit
ed Stove, Cecil Cross; Trojan Laun-
dry, Wallace Durfee; Willow Run,
Dick Haley, and American Radiator,
Dick Polling.
Three other prospective team en-
tries. DeMolay, Detroit Felt and an
organization headed by Lorne Ken
nedy, have changed their plans. A
scarcity OF players was the explana-
ton in every case.
Four rounds of games will be
played during the period from May
10 TO August 81. A playoft series
for the city championship between
winners of each section of the split
season will be scheduled during the
last week OF August.
Games will be played on Monday
and Wednesday nights at three
playing fields, Recreation. Island
Park and Prospect. One team will,
of course. draw a bye each evening.

selected as umpires Carpenter,

League last season.
A ruling that each manager must
provide a new softball at each
game was adopted at the meeting

vides his opponent with softball
in order. to comply with the regula-
ton.
