THE MICHIGAN DAILY i# RIDA'Y, FEBRUARY 20, 1939 THE MICHIGAN DAILY FRIDAY, FEBRUARY z*, 1gw M' Thinclads To Face Illini Tomorrow 4> By JIM BENAGH What could be the greatest col- lege dual track meet of the 1959 indoor season will take place to- morrow at Champaign when Michigan and Illinois stage anotg- er of their traditional showdowns. Early returns of results by the other eight 'teams in the Big Ten show only fair performances, in- dicating that Michigan and Illi- nois will be in a class by them- selves when the championships are held two weekends from to- day. Thus, the Illini-Wolverine en- counter will serve as a preview of that meet. Traditional Powers Defending Big Ten titlist Illi- nois and rebuilt Michigan, tradi- tionally the powers of Conference track, will be meeting for the only time this year in dual competition. "It's really going to be a close one," added the coach, who point- ed out that since he has been coach (11 years) the Michigan- Illinois duels have been decided in the final relay except for the 1957 match. Last year, Michigan led the Il- lini going into the mile relay. But a Wolverine runner pulled a muscle in that relay after gaining a good margin over his opponent. Illinois went on to win, 75-61 Michigan's hopes for tomor- row were dimmed when Illinois dropped the 600- and 1000-yd. runs - two standard Big Ten events -from the program. This hampers the Wolverines, whose dual meet depth is centered here. Despite the interest in the team score, individuals cannot be over- looked; V Michigan's Tom Robinson, al- ready a holder of one world rec- ord (indoor 220-yd. dash) and a share in another (75-yd. dash), is entered in the 60 and the 300 sprints. He has run the 60 in :06.2 for five straight starts now, compared to the world mark of :06.1 held by about 30 sprinters. Last week he tied the varsity 300 record and may have some surprises in store for the record book once he gets a chance on Illinois' huge track (which has 5%-laps-per-mile, contrasted to Yost's eight). Eeles Landstrom is expected to assault Don Laz' eight-yr.-old Il- linois Armory pole vault mark of 14'81/". The "Flying Finn" has two jumps of 14'8" during the present indoor season. The Illini will counteract this pair with their "Carribean All Stars" - Big Ten champs Ernle Haisley and George Kerr, and sophomores Paul Foreman (Brit- ish Empire broad jump champ) and Erwin Adderley. The latter is from Bermuda, while the other three are Jamaica imports. The titlists' chances, however, may hinge upon the condition of Jim Bowers, a 4:10.1 miler last year, who is suffering an injured" foGot. Bower's Health Key But Bowers' health is just one of the key ifs of this clash. A third place by Michigan's Bill Guinness in the vault or by Lou Williams in the broad jump, for example, may be just as important as any first place. Canham hinted that the final' J SENIORS, GRADUATES IN ENGINEERING, PHYSICS AND MATHEMATICS MEET THE MEN FROM 1 TOM ROBINSON . . . another record.? mile relay could be the factor again. He figures it will take a 3:18 or better clocking to win (the best-ever by a Conference quartet is 3:17.4). Michigan's best time this year is 3:20.0 and the Illini have a 3:20.8. However, 'M' will have Rob- inson running anchor for the first time this year. He is capable of breaking :49 in his 440 leg.

'M' men have time at this1 ImM SPORTLIGHT Dave Lyon $ Student-Faculty 'Clash' One of the reasons the intramural sports program at Michigan is regarded as second to none in the country is the student-faculty competition, consisting of 12 sports, which begins Monday and will run through March 14. Organized student-faculty sports competition, begun in 1953, is unique to Michigan. "There is nothing similar to it anywhere in the country," says I-M Director Earl Riskey, "because there is no faculty sports program anywhere else." The faculty I-M program here is an active one, and has been for some time. "We took a count recently," Riskey says, "and discovered that faculty members from 42 different departments have participated in the student-faculty program in the past." So there is a strong tradition behind this competition. And it is still expanding. Last year the student-faculty series was run off in two weeks, but this year, says Riskey, "we're extending it to three weeks for the convenience of those participating." Still, there is much to be done in three weeks. The biggest sport on the program will again be volleyball, with 27 games between student and faculty teams scheduled (last year there were 20). Eight basketball games, four more than last year, are also slated, and in addition, there will be com- petition in bowling, water polo, billiards, squash rackets, handball, paddleball, badminton, table tennis, rifle shooting, and tennis. Because ,of the tight schedule at the I-M Building's main gym, definite dates and times are being set up for team events, but Riskey says that contestants in individual sports are setting up their own times during the three-week period. Student-faculty relations are, needless to say, improved by this sports program. Riskey was pleased to note that some student hous- ing units are planning to invite faculty members to dinner after com- peting against them in a sport the preceding afternoon. A Busy Period.. . Riskey and his staff, however, are not concerned entirely with the upcoming student-faculty activities, for this is a busy period of the I-M year. Playoffs in some sports are being held now or will shortly be held, and other sports will come along to take their place. On Monday the I-M ice hockey playoffs will be held on the Coli- seum rink. South Quad's team will meet Law Club at 8:30 p.m. for the championship. Stags and Strauss will battle for the fourth place play- off spot at 6:30, Zoology meets Penguins for second spot at 7:30, and Blue Devils plays Delta Sigma Pi at 9:30 for third place to cap the evening's action. Today fraternity "A" and "B" basketball drawings will be con- ducted by the I-M department, to determine who plays'whom in the opening round of the fraternity cage playoffs next week. Residence hall, independent, and professional fraternity tournament action will not begin until the following week, because those leagues play one more regular-schedule game than the social fraternities. On Feb. 28 the four fastest residence hall and fraternity relay teams will run at the Purdue-Michigan track meet. In the prelimin-- aries held at Yost Field House yesterday to determine the four fast- est in each division, defending fraternity champion Sigma Alpha Mu led all teams with a 1:41.4 clocking over the 880-yard distance. Other fraternity qualifiers were Sigma Phi Epsilon, Phi Gamma Delta, aind Lambda Chi Alpha. Residence qualifiers, in order of finish, were Chicago, Van Tyne, Scott, and defending champion Reeves. Chicago's time was 1:44.9. Only five teams competed in the independent division, so their plac- ings yesterday were considered as final. Gomberg Older Element's four men, each running 220 yards, clocked 1:48.7 to win; with Fred- erick finishing second, Rabble-Rousers third, TEP fourth, and Evans Scholars fifth. Catching Up to Michigan ... Riskey is encouraged by the construction of new intramural fa- cilities at two other Big Ten schools, Michigan State and Purdue. "Before you can have an effective I-M program, you need adequate facilities," Riskey says. "It means that other Big Ten schools, after 30 years, are beginning to catch up to Michigan's lead." The Michigan I-M Building was constructed in 1928, and was billed then as the "only building on any college campus devoted exclusively to intra- mural athletics." The huge building with its large gymnasium, many handball and squash courts, an excellent swimming pool, and extensive training facilities, was described as a "showplace." Since 1928 the I-M program has expanded manyfold, and the intramural program of 30 years later is beginning to feel the pinch of limited space. "We've extended our program about as far as present facilities permit us," says Riskey. "For example, the main gym is so crowded every day that when a basketball team calls us up and wants a regularly-scheduled game postponed for some reason, we find it difficult because there is no time left to postpone it to." Riskey says that the only consideration which limits the expansion of such pro- grams as the student-faculty competition is that of space, although there is still some leeway left in individual sports.
