A favored Michigan swimming team, with the brilliant Tom Haynie doing an iron man stunt, tonight recorded its first dual meet victory In history over Yale, 41 to 34, in the Payne Whitney pool.

Jte" i Wv 1 I i -ii mi ill tttmmmnm By Charles P. Ward DIXIE WALKER does not agree with those pessimistic folk ho say that Schoolboy Rowe cannot tell now whether his gore aim is getting well and that he will have to wait until he has thrown a while before he knows. Dixie ought to know, because he once was the owner of one of the most persistent sore arms in baseball. And he could tell when It began to get well.

"After I had my operation at Chicago two years ago," he said the other night. "I returned to my home at Birmingham with instructions to give the arm a complete Unless you know how fearful I was that the sore arm would end my baseball career, you cannot understand how careful I was tn follow those instructions. Why, I didn't even try to eat with it. "But I could tell It was getting better. I didn't guess.

I knew. I Md my wife many a time, 'Dear, it is going to be all "When I reported at training camp next year. I worked the arm into condition slowly very slowly. Day by day it got stronger and finally it became strong enough to warrant my letting go a good throw. I could have danced with joy when I felt no pain.

I know I yelled Dixie Believes Rowe Is on Comeback Trail DIXIE figures that the Schoolboy now is in the position he was in after his operation. And he believes the Schoolboy when he says he thinks the arm is getting well. But even if Rowe's arm still remains sore, Walker believes his ease will not be hopeless. He would recommend an operation by the Chicago physician who restored his arm to condition. "That was some operation, they me," said Dixie.

"At least it was so unusual that they took me to Chicago for exhibition before a convention of surgeons from all over the world. The doctor got me up on the stand and explained just how he had patched me up." Dixie's trouble was a shoulder which persisted in getting out of joint. It got out of Joint three times twice when ha was sliding into a base and the third time when he reached for first as a pitcher tried to pick him off the hag. "I thought It was all over then. I knew that if it came out so easily I could never hope to play baseball.

The White Sox knew it too, and they told me I would have to have an operation. I hulked at first but agreed to talk it over with my wlfo when they told me I would have to have the operation or else." Doctors Even Oil Dixie's Dry Socket RS. WALKER didn't like the A idea of the operation cither, 'lit she told Dixie she would be satisfied with any decision he made. So Dixie had the operation. It consisted of bone drilling and "'nscle splicing, according to Dixie.

"They even put wax in it to lubricate it until the natural lubricating agents could get in their work." he said. "But when it va3 fjone it was a good job. Since then they have performed the same operation on a half dwn athletes including prizefighters." If Rowe's arm doesn't respond, Dixie is going to subject him to a salM talk. Perhaps the Schoolboy will be saved for the Tigers even if the worst happens. However, here's hoping it doesn't.

Walker believes Marvin Owen will be a great help to the White Sox. He knows Owen better than ny of the other Tigers and has a ffeat deal of respect for him except for one thing: His eating habits, Marvin and I were roommates a we played with Newark," he sid, "and old Owen certainly made me a man who could take his hm or let it alone. He ate ham yard free style relay final rac on the thrilling program snd gave Michigan its seven-point margin, Yal won five of the nine event with Macionis, the Ell leader, a the only double winner. The Blu' swimmer, who was on the last Olympic team, captured the 220-' yard free style tn a great raca against Haynie earlier in the evening and then went on to win the 200-yard breast stroke in a "stra-tegic move" by his coach, Bob Kiphuth. C.

of 51. Wins Sledley Tonight's dual meet was th third between the institutions, Yale having triumphed In 1928 and 1630. Both teams entered the encounter undefeated, Yale having recorded nine straight victories this season while Michigan's last setback occurred In 1936 against the New York A.C. The Wolverines gained an advantage at the start when its strong 300-yard medley relay trio swam to a four-yard victory in record time of 3:01.3 for the Yale pool. But Macionis came back to nose out Haynie in the 220-yard free style to give an idea of what was to follow.

Eric Perryman sprang an upset In winning the 50-yard free style for Yale in a picture finish over Waldemar Tomskl, which provoked a long protest from Coach Matt Mann, of Michigan. Danforth gave the Elis a close victory in the fancy dive to tie the score at 16-aIL Klrar First In Century Capt. Ed Klrar sent Michigan In front again In the 100-yard free style only to have Joe Bums, of Ysle, even matters at 25-all by capturing the 150-yard back stroke. With three events to go and the outcome apparently depending upon the relay race, Coach Kiphuth decided to save Macionis and put him in the 200-yard breast stroke, which the Yale captain promptly won. Haynie then went on to annex the 440-yard free style.

Tomski, Hutchens and Kirar opened up a three-yard lead for Haynie as he began the anchor leg against Macionis. Churning through the green waters at a foaming pace, Macionis managed to draw nearer and nearer, but the handicap was too much and the Yale star failed by less than a yard. ni'H'T May Wun hv Mi'til-f'ni i H.iIaIi. -viimi, i mum, Sliwu.

Warner, Jr. Wayne University cagers scored their eleventh victory of the season Wednesday night at the expense of Michigan Normal before 1,000 at the Central High School gym. The score was 37 to 34. Carl Bayer set the winners' pace with 12 points as the Tartars repeated an earlier victory over the Hurons. Wayne won that one at Ypsilanti, 23 to 20.

Michigan Normal's Inability to cash in on free throws cost the Hurons a possible victory. The visitors sank only four in 14 attempts, while Wayne made good seven out of nine. Hurons Take Early Lead The Hurons led most of the first half and, with 14 minutes gone, enjoyed an 18-13 advantage. Then Howard McCarthy, Bayer and Gordon Clayton dropped in baskets within the next minute and Wayne went ahead, 19-18. Jim Ross, Normal's able center, scored for the visitors, but Bayer arched in a long one to give the Tartars a 21-20 lead at half time.

The score was tied at 22-22 shortly after the second half opened, but Jimmy Garretson tallied on a dog shot and Wayne was never headed thereafter. With three minutes to go, Jimmy Walsh, Normal's clever little forward, dribbled the entire length of the court snd dropped In a basket to leave the Hurons trailing by only 30-32. But Chester Kwasiborski and Garretson both connected on long shots to boost Wayne's margin to 36-30. Roth Clinches It Al Anderson tallied on a long torn for Normal and Ross sftnk two free throws, while Bobby Roth scored a foul for Wayne Just before the game ended. Ross led the visitors in scoring with 10 points, while Walsh was outstanding with his clever floor-work.

Clayton's control of the re- bounds was an important factor in Wayne's victory. The Wayne freshman defeated the Michigan Normal frosh, 52 to 37. Wayne's next game is at home against Central State Friday night. MKH. MIRMAI.

18 Detroit Tech's smallest player. Norman Olesko, became a basketball giant killer here tonight. Olesko. a speedy forward playing his first year on the varsity, scored 17 points as Detroit Tech beat a tall DeSales University team, 42 to 34. Detroit Tech never was behind, and Olesko was responsible.

He outbroke the DeSales guards and slipped in for eight field goals, most of them coming after fine passing plays. Bill Thompson. DeSales' tall center, scored 18 points, but outside of Thompson the Toledo club did not have the drive Detroit Tech showed tonight. IIK1 K11IT Til II (. 4 Calihan Leads U.ofD.Cagers with 19 Points 12th Victory of Year Is First in Series with Teachers By John N.

Sabo The Chicago Cyclone hit West ern State's basketball team Wednesday night. The Chicago Cyclone is Bob Calihan, six-foot, three-inch sopho more center for university of De-triot, and when he finished wrecking Western State's team, U. of D. had a 41-32 victory at Naval Armory. That victory was strictly the work of Calihan and the 1,200 spectators who saw the game readily will attest to this.

Last week Calihan was in bed with a severe cold when Western State beat U. of 42 to 34, at Kalamazoo, It was the first game this season that Calihan had not been in the line-up. And the Titans did not look like the same club without their big pivot player from St. George's High School in Chicago. Twelfth Victory for Titans Calihan was hale and hearty Wednesday night.

Calihan's damage amounted to 19 points, and those 19 points certainly decided the contest. It was U. of twelfth victory In 15 starts and the first time U. of D. has beaten Western State in basketball.

Not only did Calihan play a topnotch offensive game, but he played almost a perfect defensive contest. Last week Bob Peckham, Western State's first-string center, and Bob Sims, another lanky player, combined to score 21 points against the Titans. These players scored exactly one point Wednesday because Calihan and Capt. Laske were defensive giants. Peckham made that one point on a free throw.

Western State started an all-sophomore team, and U. of D. had three sophomores in its starting line-up. At the start it was a real dogfight. The lead changed hands four times in the first four minutes before U.

of D. settled down and led, 22 to 19, at Me half. Calihan made 10 of those points. Calihan Settles It The Chicago Cyclone rushed through for nine more points In the second half and that settled the contest because Western State had no one to match him. Bill Broadbent, a hustling forward from Elkhart, kept Western State in the running i the first half by making 10 points.

He made another basket at the start of the second half. Here Coach Buck Read decided to substitute the considerably taller Sims for Broadbent to give West-em State more height. It proved a poor substitution because Sims hindered more than nelped Wr-'-ern State's attack while Broadbent watched the game from the bench during the last 16 minutes. Although Calihan grabbed the big scoring honors, Ernie Kolibar managed to connect on four set shots while Chet Laske and Jack Plana each connected two. In the preliminary the TT of D.

Frosh beat Highland I'ark Junior College, 42 to 31, for their eleventh victory of the season. V.

in a close basketball game Finalist of '37' Blocking Path of Ed Kozole Lightweights Appear Even for Golden Gloves Title By Tod Rockwell The Eddie Kozole-Eddie Smith Golden Gloves open division battle will be the greatest lightweight fight ever staged in the annals of the great Free Press amateur boxing show, Charles H. Brennan, secretary of the Michigan A. A. declared Wednesday. Kozole, of the Chevrolet Athletic Association, and Smith, from the camp of the Briggs A.

will clash in just one of 16 outstanding bouts in the Gloves finals at Olympia Tuesday night. "Yes," said Brennan, "the two Eddies will put on a great fight. That's one I wouldn't want to miss. Don't forget that Kozole is the International Gloves champion. "This Briggs fighter, Smith.

Is a thoroughly competent and worthy opponent for Kozole. Smith was an open featherweight finalist last year, and since stepping up into the lightweight class is a greatly improved fighter." "I am confident," said Leo Jones, Chevrolet athletic director, "that Kozole can beat Smith. I'll admit, however, that it will be a great fight." "Sure this southpaw Kozole is a great fighter," declared Patsy Urso, the Briggs fighting director, "but he hasn't yet met a boy who has been as carefully drilled in fighting those portslders as Smith. Smith will win the decision." "I'll take that open heavyweight bout between John Baklarz and Leon Foston," declared Dr. A.

R. Hackett, president of the Michigan A.A.U. and chief of the Gloves medical staff. Baklarz will fight under the banner of Chevrolet, defending team champion, and Foston is from Brewster Center A. outstanding challenger for the title and the coveted team trophy which goes with it.

Reserved seats still are available for the super-fight spectacle of the season, but they are selling rapidly. They may be had at the Public Relations Department of the Free Press Building and at the Olympia box office. Prices are 40 and 85 cents. U. of M.

Six Wins on Goal by James Ontario Team Bows, 3-2, in Overtime ANN ARBOR. Feb. 16 The University of Michigan hockey team won its sixth game in seven starts against Canadian opponents by defeating Paris, 3 to 2, in overtime tonight.

Unable to use the Olympia Ice for practice because of an ice show, Manager Jack Adams packed his hockey stars into limousines and Jumped them to Ann Arbor where they went through a two-hour drill on the University of Michigan's big ice rink. It was the second time this year that the University of Michigan had invited the Stanley Cup champions to Ann Arbor after learning they had no ice at home. "Nice guys, those Michigan guys," said Mr.

Adams with his best collegiate accent and idiom to a couple of Michigan guys. HEC KILREA "We think 'you're nice guys, too," said one of the students. With that encouragement, the Wings gave the Michigan ice the old college try, even though it was just practice. All they lacked was a cheer leader. Everybody but Hec.

Kilrea was on the ice. His injured leg still bothers him. Much of the Wings' cheerful attitude was due to the return of Syd Howe to practice. He wrenched his knee in Sunday's game against the Americans and until Wednesday it was not certain that he would be able to play against the Hawks at Chicago Sunday a game that might possibly wipe the Detroit club from the playoffs should they lose.

16 Michigan's track team will open its 1938 campaign here Thursday night against Michigan State. The Wolverine squad, hard hit by graduation, nevertheless is highly favored over the Spartans, with versatile Bill Watson and sev-eral powerful first-year men heading Coach Charlie Hoyt's entries. Two Yost Field House records are marked for the discard, with Watson gunning for his own record of 50 feet, 1 inch in the shot put. Ralph Schwarzkopf, Saginaw sophomore, will make the other record assault in the two-mile, going after the mark of 9:21, set by Bill Zepp, of Michigan Normal. Schwartzkopf has consistently bettered it in time trials.

Feature races of the meet will come in the hurdles events, where Harvey Woodstra, Spartan transfer from Grand Rapids Junior College, will meet Michigan's entries, Elmer Gedeon and Stan Kelley. Gedeon, junior end on the football team, will be running for the first time at Michigan. Hoyt terms him a "better prospect than Bob Osgood," last year's captain and world record breaker. He probably will press Woodstra in the highs, while Kelley, holder of the Michigan freshman records, will furnish the low hurdles competition. The Spartans are conceded at least one first place.

In the 60-yard sprint, with Wilbur Greer. Watson, turning to the dash for the first time, and Alan Smith are the Michigan entries. Greer recently came within one-tenth of a second of the world's record for the 40-yard dash. Another Spartan who may surprise Michigan fans is Lodo Ha-brle, one of the best pole vault performers turned out by State in recent One of the Spartan winners in the Michigan Normal dual meet last week, Habrle cleared the bar at 12 feet, 6 inches to annex first place. Michigan State beat the Hurons, 72 to 23, in its only meet so far.

Milt Aron, Chicago's Jewish welterweight star, chalked up another victory tonight by outpointing Vittorio Venturi, Italian champion, in a stirring 10-round bout before 1,500 in the New York Hippodrome. Aron scaled 144 i and Venturi 1474. Three months ago Aron and Venturi fought a 10-round draw in Madison Square Garden.
