STRENGTH JEST RECORD15i'lo
Roy W. Johnson, '18, Scores TIotail Of
3,133 Points; Roos of Ta e
Previous Charapion
All previous records were smashed
when Roy W. Johnson, a sophomore
in the literary department, shattered
the world's record in the intercolle-
giate strength tests at Waterman gym-
nasium yesterday afternoon. The feat
was accomplished before Dr. May, di-
rector of physical science, and "Steve"
Farrell, track coach.
The points as scored by Johnson
were as follows: lung capacity, 320;
back lift, 680; leg lift, 1160; grips,
left, 230, right, 280; chinning, 17 times;
dipping, 20 times. Johnson's weight
is just 180 1-2 pounds, and from this
was computed his total number of
points, 3033.
Until the making of this present
record, the intercollegiate honors were
held by Roos, of Yale, who made a
score of 2970.8 points in January of
last year. The title holder before him
was Percy, of Harvard, who made a
high total of 2884.8 points a few
months before the mark made by Roos
was set.
Johnson is the second world' beater
that has come under the tutelage of
Dr. May since he left Yale. , The
other man was Carver of Chicago,
whom he brought out in 1899 and who
held the record for several years. Dr.
May, in commenting upon the new rec-
ord, said that he believed Johnson
had the hardest grip of any man that
has ever competed in the collegiate
test. It is being planned to bring
Johnson out in the weight track events
this coming spring.
Yale Wins from Penn fi Basketball
New Haven, Conn., Jan. 19.-Yale
just managed to nose out a victory
over the fast Pennsylvania basketball
squad in the first clash of the two
teams during the present season.
Yale played a fast game and put over
18 counts to the 17 which were scored
by the almost equally speedy men
from the University of Pennsylvania.

Last n ight gam caused consider-

dcpe, All season it has appeared that
the senior engineers were slated to
win the campus championship. but
since the fresh lits came out and by.
dint of fast work right at the begin-
ninlg of their game with the afore-
mentioned seniors last night grabbed
a good lead and forced their oppo-
nents to go the limit to tie the score
bsfore time was called, it put a crimp
into the chances of the elder engi-
neers.
Unless the seniors take a decided
brace and deliver some hard wallops
tonight, it would appear that the phar-
mics are the first choice for the bet-
ting odds in this campus champion-
slip race. Tonight the two teams will
clash in what should be practically the
deciding battle of the season. In
case the druggists win, it will prac-
tically mean that the pill-dolers will
auinex the coveted title, but if they
lose, the efficiency enthusiasts will
again assume their championship pro-
portions.
Another hot battle should be staged
between the J-engineers and the ar-
chitects in the first game of the even-
ing. Both teams are anxious to win,
as they have each lost a game, and
they will be put back in the running
if they can win. Both teams have good
batteries and if the architects can get
together and lend Davenport some
worthy support the game ought to be
close.
The J-engineers have a double in--
c-ntive to win tonight, since they play
a double-header and in case they can
carry off the honors in both of their
mixups it will put them in the lead,
pnrovided only that the pharmics, who
romped over them in their last game
lase.
Tonight's schedule is: 7:00 o'clock,
J-engineers vs. architects; 7:40, se-
nior engineers vs. pharmics; 8:20, J-
engineers vs. fresh lits.

CHAMPION HALF MILER
MAY ENTER MICHIGAN
I r I Di'.qat c s arry Story~ Ta j
Earl Eby has Ibeit Lniler-
sity of hicago
^'Les dispatches carried a story
yesterday to the effect that Earl Eby,
of Chicago University, had dropped
out of the Windy City college with
the intention of entering Michigan in
February. If Ehy does enter Michi-
gan, Steve Farrell will have one of
the fastest haif-milers in America on
his freshman squad. Among othera
notable races, the youngster has won
the junior half-mile championship of
America. The following day the se-
nior event was run under the Aame
conditions and the time was four see-
onds slower. Eby did 1:58 in the3
western meet.
In the tryouts in Chicago last July,1
Leroy Campbell won the half mile in
the remarkable time of 1:54 1-5, and
,hy was so close behind the Chicago
man that he finished well under 1:55>
him self.
Eby is a. newcomer to athletics and,
during his first few years in high
school did not do any running. Mar-
tin Delaney, of the Chicago Athletic
Association, got hold of the youngs-
ter and after trying him at the two-
mile event, switched him to the 880
aud the lad showed wonderful promise
from the start.
Eby possesses a powerful sprint at
the finish, and has won all of his
races in the last 75 yards, coming
from behind with a burst of speed
that carries him well to the front.
He is short, and physically nothing
like the type of half-milers that
Michigan has been accustomed to ini
the past few years, with the possible1
exception of Ufer.
The Michigan half-mile record on1
Ferry Field of 1:57 ;-5 is hed by Phil
Jmnsen, and if Eby does enter Michi-1
an in Fehrtary, he seems almost sure
to better this figure during his fresh-
man year.
St Ii)IIT V 110SS-(0 tINTRY REPORT
Action taken at the meeting of the
Board, of Directors of the Michigan
Athletic Association yesterday after-
noon will result in the abolishment of
the offices of secretary and treasurer
of the Athletic association and will
reduce the board from nine to seven
members.
A short time ago the office of secre-
tary and treasurer was combined into
a one-man job, but the action in this
case has not had time to go into ef-
fect and the next board will be com-
posed .of Director Bartelme, Intramu-
ral Director Rowe, football manager,
track manager, baseball manager, in-
terscholastic manager and intercol-
loge manager. The work of the two
offices which have been abolished will
be delegated to the student members
of the board, one or two of the mana-
gers taking the duties.
A report from the committee on
investigation of the awarding of cross-
country insignia was turned over to
the committee of awards. The re-
port carried the information that at
Harvard, Yale and Cornell the Var-
sity letter is given the cross-country
men. If a Harvard man finishes
among the first seven in the eastern
Intercollegiate cross-country run he
is awarded with the insignia. 'At Yale
the man receives his letter if he fin-
ishles among the first 12. At Cornell
the man is awarded if he finishes in
a place which the board of awards
considers worthy of Varsity insignia.

Captain Wilcoxen Makes Perfect Score
of 200; Eastern School's Total
Not Yet Available
Cinder men in numbers took a vaca-
tion yesterday, with the result that
the turnout was somewhat smaller
than usual, both in the ranks of the
Varsity and All-Fresh candidates.
However, in one of the branches of this
sport, the men turned in a percen-
tage of 1,000, all the shot-putters don-
ning suits and throwing a few heaves
with the heavy ball.
"Steve" Farrell took occasion to
give "Eddie" Carroll a chance to make
a fight against time and the former
cross-country captain succeeded in
stepping off the half-mile in 2:06 fiat,
lowering "Cap" Murphy's former sea-
son's record by 3 1-5 seconds. "Ed-
die's" mark is very good for so early
in the year and it is doubtful whether
Farrell will allow any of his other men'
to attempt anything faster than this
mark during the existing semester.
In the second match of the into
collegiate rifle tournament yesterd
the Michigan team, shooting again
Yale, made a total score of 984 poin
This is one of the best recordst
Michigan team has ever made in
official match. The results oft
New Haven team have not yet be
forwarded from the office of ther
tional secretary at Washington,t
it is expected that they will be
the hands of the local team within
short time.
The feature of yesterday's mat
was the shooting of a perfect score
200 by Captain Wilcoxen.' This
the first time this feat has ever b
accomplished by a Michigan in
shooting in an intercollegiate mat
He was closely followed by McInty
high man of last week's match agai

a score of 196 each, and McNaugh
with 195.

THE ONE LUNGER

The following came to light yes
day morning from the deep, dark,
penetrable depths of The Pit:
"Somebody blamed the editor of
Sportoscope for this column."

"Ouch!"

the But then, again, he may not!
Eaventually the bull may get sore!
If men and women were machines they might treat their motors as well as they do those -which the
makers build into their cars. Lack of care, slap dash eating, poor food improperly prepared, and
you're a one lunger, banging along with your cut out open on the level and balking in low gear on the grades.
Well, by Gee, our only comment will
be to raise you a couple. Ouch!
Ouch!! Ouch!!!
The only undisputed eighth wonder
of the world was he who ventured out
upon that outdoor running track a
couple of days ago when the mercury
was growing rather unfriendly and
unduly familiar with Zero Mairk.
There can be no opposition.
A news dispatch from Akron Uni-
versity states that Ollie Driesbach,
captain of the football team and the
strongest man in college, wrestles
with real live -bulls to develop the
muscles of his arms and shoulders.
Ollie is perfectly welcome to this di-
verting pastime, and in a few years he
may possibly possess the finest de-j
here's the dope: -
Akron, 0., Jan. 20.-Ollie Dries-
bach of Akron university, wrestles a
real lire bull to develop muscles for
use in athletics.
Driesbach is the strongest student
at the college and attributes his
strength to his unusual exercise. He
is a candidate for the basketball tean
of this season and did such good work'
on the football team in 1915, he was
elected captain for 1916.
Driesbach wrestles the bull almost
every day, le walks into the l _asture
where the animal is kept, with a train-
man's flag fastened at his belt. The
flag never fails to attract the aitten-
tion of the bull.
The athlete has been thrown several
times in his workouts, but has al-
ways come back for more.
