WORL 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.

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. Purchase Motor Truck for University Mr. Shirley W. Smith, secretary of the university, has contracted for the 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. FEW TRACK MEN AT PRACTICE, " ddie" (arroll Lowers Season's Mark for ilalf-Mile Distance BABY SOUVENIR NUMBER OF THE MICHIGAN D A I LY Limited Edition RIFLE MEN SHOOT 984 POINTS AGINST YAE 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.'

There can be no opposition.

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.
