But, in spite of this, the team was organized with Sam Wlilliams lg ft . iv' captain. Meets were arranged with M. A. C., Michigan State Normal College tis ' , , of Ypsilanti and with Grand Rapids Y. Due to a late start, it was impossible , f l to schedule other teams. ' In the lirst meet, that with Grand Rapids, the Detroit team was nosed out 1 3 by Z points, due mainly to the superior showing of Howard Rose, the premier ' V free style swimmer in the State. Then M. A. C. came to Detroit, but went hack j , to Lansing much wiser. They were beaten 37-51. In this meet, George Peckham L was the star, winning both the 50 and 100, and being a member of the winning Q T relay team. Sam lYilliams won the 220, Chaffee took the back stroke, and 7 ' , jaenichen took the breast. Ypsi was the next victim, this time being beaten 5 y , i l i' in her own pool by the count of 40-18. In this meet, as in the previous one, Detroit took tirst in every event except the diving. After a lay off of three 3ff,.'fiig '31 weeks-,the State Normal team was again defeated in the Y pool, this time by ' yi, the score of 32-26. Thus out of four meets, the City team won three and lost lj , the other by 2 points. 1 I George Peckham was the outstanding star of the team, winning 1111 points Vi A in every meet. Chaffee and ,laenichen were the other best point winners, with ' A ' ' Sam XVilliams following. Captain Williams was not entered in the final meet. 2 ' It is expected that next year the college will be represented by an even better I 1 team and will present a better schedule. Members of the team are: Captain Q - Wlilliams, Chaffee, jaenichen, Peckham, Broker, Drane, Taylor, Ertel, Pascoe, T . and Mclintee. The team was managed by jack Milligan. L 2 BOXING AND XVRESTLING , Q , . 5 A great deal of interest was shown in boxing and wrestling during the last i , I year. There were over 100 men in the classes of both sports. Norman VVilliams ,' had charge of the wrestlers, while Michaels and Hoover, also students in the '34 college, instructed the students in the manly art. If the enthusiasm of the iimtfifi ' ' college men continues to grow as rapidly as it has in the past, boxing and wrestling 5 will undoubtedly become major sports. At the U. of M. Carnival, Red Meyer . and Michaels put on exhibitions that pleased the big carnival crowd. The i Detroit men's fighting showed that City College men compare favorably with ' , 5 , Q those of the State University. The Michigan Daily gave a draw decision in Q . I the tight between Michaels CC. C. D.J and Markiewicy tU. of MJ. The same 2 1 5 3 paper gave Hart of Michigan the decision over Red Meyer of Detroit. Two 2 3 I f tournaments were held during the year, with the results given below. All winners 1 f A 1 in these contests were given attractive gold medals for their proficiency. The , i I . student instructors were not allowed to enter the first tournament. i : A-.Q -u M - -wii.. ...R . . . . ...a tix T.: l-Pla-. , 'QffZfQ . Q7? ?f'X., ...Qi aff. . iimffifi. Q.. ff-. 119 i

Ma, ,..,.ac.,s...-..W..-- - .. .--I l Tennis S Tennis is fast becoming a universal sport at the College of Detroit, as well 1 as elsewhere. This is evinced by the large number of entrants who competed 2 in the First Annual Fall Tournament, and also by the great number of candi- . dates that have tried out for the team this spring. 5 s The fall tournament was won by Murice Davey, a veteran of last year's tennis team. Medals were awarded to the winners and runners-up in both singles and doubles. This tournament was so successful and created such widespread f interest that it will probably become an annual institution. Next year, it will , probably be played off in the new courts behind the school. This spring, more than twenty men reported to manager MacVVeldon, who i took charge until a coach could be found. Because of rainy weather and the lack of a coach, the tennis team barely got started when it was faced by the iii? fl ii, lil ill' ,511 il tit' if Ryfg gfygl, fifihi Vifigi tl iyll Vt, EH H iii 'li l i l l l I a l l l llll hardest match of the year with Notre Dame. Only two matches were played, for the reason that they had to be held at the indoor courts of the General Motors building. Both Davey and Stien put up a hard fight, but finally suc- cumbed to their more experienced opponents. By this time, Mr. Fowle was secured as a coach. But only two days after the Notre Dame match, the team journeyed to Lansing to play M. A. C. Davey lost the first match, Goodman won the second, then this pair lost in the doubles. MacVVeldon lost the hardest match of the day after he had his man match point. Two days later, before the team had a chance to reorganize, it met Ypsilanti State Normal there. This was the closest match played up to this time. Davey lost the first, but Goodman won the second singles match. However, after a close battle in the doubles, College of Detroit lost the match 2-1. The last team played, before this writing goes to press, was the University of Detroit. The team seemed to hit its stride by this time, and by the efforts of Davey, Goodman, Stien, and Gable, won a shutout victory of 5-0 over the older school. The team's chances in the remaining matches with Toledo University, Detroit College of Law, and University of Detroit, look exceedingly bright. But Coach Fowle is pointing the team to the State inter-collegiate tournament, which they have a splendid chance of winning. No doubt in a year or two, tennis will be recognized as a major sport at the College of Detroit, as it is at most of the large universities. For it has on its schedule some of the biggest colleges outside the Big Ten in the Middle VVest. Q fu T-T1...fff.lf1f, . Qffiff if 'Qfflff,,.., .,,s.-,. ff .. .. . . i f .fZ7 .g t:s.y Z.'
