Show Kimball Shines With 1st veek of Spring Practice Ends .-. With one week of Spring football foot-ball practice past. Coach Eddie Kimball was beaming with opiumism op-iumism Saturday as he pointed out that prospects looked more -than a little bright for a better than average team next fall. - ' -Kimball said the chief reason for his new-found optimism were . the outstanding crop of freshmen gridders now moving up to the '.varsity ranks, and the return of "a large percentage of last year's varsity. He said 64 boys had re-y re-y ported for spring drills. However, there is one boy who Is conspicuous by his absence and Tony Ross Slated To Face Lyman In V FY Card Tony Ross, whd gained the favor of Provo grappling fans a couple, of weeks ago when he defeated Floyd Hansen, the roughneck from Salt Lake City, will take on a newcomer next Wednesday night in vthe armory, when he wrestles Joe Lyman, Redmond, Ore., as the feature attraction at-traction of the VFW fight and mat card. It Is Ross, who employes the punishing hold known as the "back-break." He used it on Al Szasz several weeks ago and the St. Louis grappler has not been in a ring since. Ross used it against Hansen with gratifying results gratifying, that is, to everyone but Floyd. Although Lyman has never appeared ap-peared in the local ring, reports indicate that he is a rough hom-bre hom-bre who can take care of himself him-self against all kinds of competition. compe-tition. For the semifinal, Matchmaker Dave Reynolds has lined up George Curtis, another newcomer Kenny Mayne, the "people's choice" from Salt Lake City. Mayne has an exceptionally large Provo folowing and is one of the most popular wrestlers ever to appear in the local ring. The boxing portion of the program pro-gram will be headlined by a fight between Ramon Luekenga, Nam-pa, Nam-pa, Ida., and Chuck Sutton, the "Texas Cyclone," both of whom fight in the heavyweight class. Both are BYU students. In other boxing bouts, Don Kavechevich, Provo high school battler who caries the colors of the VFW, .will meet Ronnie Ferguson, Fer-guson, Orem, the boy who uses the Henry Armstrong windmill style of attack, and Bob Jones of Provo will face Rex Allred of rem.

' 1 J Ii If Optimism As that Is Rex Olson, "The Arm" of last fall's team who emblazoned his name on many a sports page with his .sensational forward pasisng. , Although still eligible for college col-lege play, Olson has indicated that he will probably play pro ball or coach next fall. At the moment,- he is playing on ' the BYU baseball team. ' Other gridders who are passing up spring football for the diamond dia-mond sport include Lyle Koller, Don Bushore and Ted Thiel, backs, and Roy Aitken and Gaylc Holt, linemen. If Olson fails to return, the fight for the starting quarterback post will center around Jim Ec-clea, Ec-clea, sophomore, and Russ Hill-man, Hill-man, Stan Cole and Verl Duer-den, Duer-den, frosh stars of last year. One of the bright spots in the p'racitces so far. which only got under way Wednesday after being be-ing halted by weather for two weeks, has been the reappearance of Scotty Deeds, backfield speed merchant who may make the di-ference di-ference between an ordinary and a competent back field next fall if his game knee holds up. Deeds' speed and experience are badly needed by the Cougar ball carrying car-rying department. First part of the six week spring sesion will be devoted to fundamentals, Coach Kimball said, so that it is premature to start naming the starting eleven for next fall. Some performers who look AU-American during practice sessions lose plenty lustre under pressure during actual play, he noted. Sharing the coaching duties with Kimball are Wayne Soffe, line coach, and Reed Nilson, former All conference center at BYU and at present signed to play another year of professional football with the Detroit Lions. Nilson is working principally with centers and guards. With an agreement reached with the Pacific Fleet Destroyers squad for a game Oct. 1 at Provo, Pro-vo, the Cougard football schedule for the year is complete and will provide the Y men a chance to display their wares against gridders grid-ders from seven western states, including Texas on the south and east and Montana on the north.

Leo Hatch, Clint Lewis, Lee Nicholes and Leo Ferguson make up just about the . finest ' sprint relay team in the state. They also al-so can perform individually with equal brilliance. Hatch, for instance, in-stance, won the low hurdles in the state meet last year and roared down the straightway in the 220-yard dash as well. Clint Lewis runs the century as well as the quartermile and Nicholes in the state champ in the 220-yard dash . Mel Briers and Den Dixon Dix-on who are serving a ee-eoaehes ee-eoaehes of the track team this year, are chiefly concerned con-cerned at the mement over the condition of Nicholes' ankle, which he sprained playing basketball.

If Nicholes is unable to get in shape his place on the relay team will probably be taken by Ralph Willett, the Tigers' all-state fullback, full-back, who also will toss the shot. Speaking of football players, all of these sprinters were regulars reg-ulars on last fall's Tiger football foot-ball team, which captured the class B crown. Ferguson, Hatch, Lewis and Willett were all backs, while Nicholes performed at an, end position.

Not only are the Tigers going to be rugged in the sprints, they also have a great group of distance dis-tance runners among the 65 boys who reported for track practice.

(U.R)- An official of the Izaak Walton league today warned the west against destroying valuable rec reational resources to gain some temporary economic benefits for special interests." William Voight, Jr., of Denver, western representative at the league's 26th convention, said "the west is beginning to suffer from the same recreational hindsight hind-sight that has plagued the rest of the country for years." He told 300 convention delegates dele-gates that the west had the same problems of other sections of the nation plus those involving public pub-lic lands and the best use of critically cri-tically short water supplies. "For lack of foresight," he said, "many of the famed recreational recre-ational regions out in the west are degenerating and some won't last out our lifetimes." He pointed out that the east and middle west had to pay heavily heav-ily to reclaim areas they could have had "for a song" if they had realized their value early enough.

Holmes, now a Salt Lake City insurance broker, coached football, foot-ball, track and every other sport at SC from 1904 to 1008. He recalled re-called having to convince Cromwell Crom-well he could handle the job when Holmes left. "Dean didn't think he had the ability to handle athletes," Holmes said, "but President Bo-vard Bo-vard and I convinced him to give it a try anyway. I guess the young fellow has made good." Impressed by increased campus and enrollment since his day. Holmes was especially amazed at the squad of 160 out for spring football practice. "When I was coach, we had about 17 or 18 men turn out for the team," he recalled. "In scrimmage scrim-mage we wouldn't have a full second string so we would work the left side of the line against the right ip order to have a real workout." Holmes was welcomed back to the campus by Prof. Hugh C. Willett, SC faculty athletic representative rep-resentative to the Pacific Coast conference who managed the Trojan grid squad in 1906. Charlie Haigler, university steam engineer engi-neer and 1907 football captain, also was on hand to greet his old coach.

PETERSON United Press Sports Editor NEW YORK, April" 10 (U.R) Ever the optimist, portly Steve O'Neill believes his Detroit Tigers Tig-ers can win the American league pennant this season. He 'thinks so despite an obvious lack of heavy hitting and polish ed fielding. He figures his pitch' ing staff, which looks as formid able as they come, will make up for those deficiencies and carry the Tigers to the top. It could be if Dick Wakefield finally decides to play ball. If he doesn't, the Tiger chances are not too bright. So far this spring, Wakefield hasn't shown any signs of becoming be-coming the ball player everybody thought he would b when the How About Bakin' Me An Angel Food Cake, Stan OP Boy Stan Stapley, big, burley letterman guard of the Cougar Cou-gar grid squad, has a new hankering. He's taking nui-- nui-- tritlon for cooking in the BYU home economics department de-partment this spring quarter. In mid-August he'll leave for training with the pro New York Giants and there probably won't be a better-fed better-fed man on the squad, even if Stan has to feed himself. The class deals with what foods make the best dinners, what goes into what ingre-diants, ingre-diants, and "stuff like that," Stan says.. "Oh yeah," he adds, "it also tells you what foods are good for ya'." He hasn't made any startling start-ling advancement in class yet the course has only been under way about three weeks. But it isn't the first time he's dabbled in cooking. At home he likes to make "cakes and cookies" and his favorite foods are "cakes and cookies." Of course the fact . that he thought creaming shortening an-atrgtfr in the cake recipe meant stirring in a little cream hasn't affected his appetite for the pastries even when he caoks them. In high school the gridders went in for cookery en masse and the whole squad took over the school kitchen for a banquet that was at Carbon high. Since then though his cooking has been held to a few cakes and a little book-work book-work on the value of spinach. spin-ach. Stan has lettered in football foot-ball for seven years, three at high school and four at college. col-lege. Before the war he did a little track work in the weights.

Crisler reportedly re-portedly had a standing offer of a $50,000 a year job with the Key Tigers gave him a $55 000 bonus or signing while he still was at the University of Michigan. . It looked then like Wawe-field Wawe-field couldn't miss and he was put right up there with Ted Williams and Joe Dlmaggio as one ef the power sluggers of the times. But he never lived up to that billing and found up last season hitting .283. That mark In Itself would not be so bad If Wakefield measured mea-sured up in the field. But to make up for his lapse (here he will have to hit well over .300. O'Neill has not given up on him, although his patience is running run-ning out. Wakefield will be in left when the season opens with Hcot E vers in center and Vic Werlz. who has the makings of a star, in right. Back of them will be the veteran vet-eran Roger Cramer, Pat Mullln, who does most of his hitting In the spring, and Ed Mierkowicz. Only two Infield posts are def inite, hard-hitting George Kell at third base and peppery Eddie MayO, back in good health at sec ond. First base is a battle between George Vico, a fancy fielder who hit .307 with Portland last year, and Paul Campbell, who failed to make the grade with the Red Sox. Indications are that O'Neill will start the season with Vico because of his superior fielding. At short, It looks as If rookie rook-ie John Lipton. up from Dallas Dal-las where he hit .295 last season. sea-son. Is going to beat out the veteran Eddie Lake. Lake held out this spring and did not report until late. That may turn out to be a blessing for the Tigers for it forced O'Neill to turn the Job over to Lipton and he has filled the bill satisfactorily. Hal Wagoner will be the No. catcher with the veteran Bob 1 Swift his chief understudy. When it comes to pitching. O'Neill almost has more starting hurlers than he knows what to do with. Certain regulars will be Hal Newhouser, Dizzy Trout, Virgil Vir-gil Trucks, Freddie Hutchinson and Art Houtteman. Back of those five are Al Ben ton, Stubby Overmlne, Hal Whlto and John Corsica and rooki Ted Gray and Walt Pierce. Almost all of them would be starters with the majority of American league clubs.
