SIMMONS HANGS UP NEW RECORO IN HIGH-JUMP Mark Which Sophomore Registered Gives Him Third Place Among Title Holders V. H. Simmons, '18, yesterday aft- ernoon hung up a new season's ree- ord in high jumping when he aston- ished the 100 or more spectators at the gymnasium by clearing the bar at the measured height of 5:11 7-8. The bar was at an even six feet by the scale on the side poles, but upon meas- uring the leap from the middle of the bar, it was found that "Vic" had clear- ed one-eighth inch under the six-foot mark. Simmons, by the mark which he made yesterday, put himself num- ber three in the high pumpers in the history of Michigan athletes. The pres- ent record is held by W. E. Sargent, with a leap of 6 feet 1 1-4 inches, which he made in 1913. The mark which the sophomore made yesterday places Simmons in the list of men who may be expected to gather the coveted points in future meets, and inasmuch as he has developed rapidly during the short time that the track athletes have been out, there is reason to believe that the tall lad has not reached his maximum. The record for the season which was shat- tered by the leap was held by Sim- mons and Griest at 5'feet 9 inches. A good turnout of men was realized during the afternoon, and "Steve" took advantage of the balmy spring weather to send al tthe runners out of doors on the new oval, where it is easier to run. A large number of the candidates who were among those present at the impromptu roll call were freshmen, who donned their suits in order that they might stretch their legs in prep- aration for the All-Freshman meet this afternoon. JUNIOR LITS MAKE RUNAWAY OF FIRST BOWLING MATCHES With Five Consistent Bowlers on Its Team the J-Lits Have Chance to Repeat 1915 Victory With five good bowlers rolling regu- larly, the junior lits made a runaway of the qualifying round of the class bowling league by taking every scheduled match. The senior dents were close behind with only one match lost, while the junior engineers and junior dents tied for third place. The soph lits finished just ahead of the two freshman teams in the lit and engi- neering departments; The four high teams in the quali- fication round will roll in the cham- pionship round, which will consist of one match each Monday night for nine weeks, making three rounds in all. On form the junior lits should re- peat their victory of last year, and for the first time win the class league championship for two seasons. How- ever, the two dent teams are danger- ous, and the senior engineers are now rolling strong. The figures follow: Standing Uon Lost Pct.

Hanavan, who is at present in the employ of the Maxwell Motor com- pany of Detroit, and who holds the Michigan record in the mile run, was out in a suit over in the gymnasium Thursday afternoon, taking a work- out, and renewing old acquaintances. "Eddie" made the record in 1911, when he stepped off the mile in the time of 4:21 2-5. INOOR CONTEST TO POSTPONEBASKETBALL Soph Engineers Still Being Eligible, Are Permitted to Re-Enter League There will be no basketball prac- tice until after the examinations are all over according to Intramural Di- rector Rowe. In his own words the reason was that "We have too much indoor baseball interest." This is largely due to the fact that another team has been entered in the schedule. The soph engineers were unintention- ally overlooked when the last schedule was made out and since they have, never forfeited the two games which are cause for expulsion from the league they have been duly installed on the official slate. However this means that there are six teamsnonrthe schedule at present and that more games will have to be played in order to determine the campus championship. In order that these games may be played, off within the next two weeks it was decided by the Intramural office that there would be no basketball practice held tonight in Waterman gym Regular indoor baseball games will be played instead. The schedule for tonight fol- lows: 7:00 o'clock, pharmics vs. fresh lits; 7:40 o'clock, senior engineers vs. the soph engineers; 8:20 o'clock, J- engineers vs. architects. The schedule may run through until next Saturday but it is hoped that all the games will be finished by next Thursday and the Catimpus championship decided. It would appear that the senior en- gineers are coming in for some un- expected trouncings lately. Last night the J-engineers walloped their superi- ors by a 6-2 score. The senior bridge builders were at one time the strongest team in the league but they lost their star pitcher, Des Jardins, and since then have not been keeping up their former pace. They have been super- ceded by the pharmics who have as yet lost none of their games on the pres- ent existing chart of scraps. Even the fresh lits are becoming dangerous or else a large sized enigma. They have a percentage equalling that of the pharmics but they tied a game which is disregarded in doping out the per- centages of the various teams. Last Thursday they welcomed the newcom- ers-the soph engineers-by walloping that aggregation by a 19-2 score. Their tied game was with the senior engi- neers, which is a pardonable split. Another team which is proving morp of a disappointment than was at first expected is the architect combination. They have lost both of thefr last games and in spite of the fact that they have a good pitcher they insist on extending poor support. At pres- ent they are down with the soph engi- neers trying to heat the cellar. A recoup was indulged in by the J engineers in their last game with the seniors and they are now in the run- ning for the honors. However their chances depend upon whether the pharmics lose or not, and from pres- ent indications it would not appear that he latter are very anxious to drop any of their engagements. Following is the relative standing of the teams now playing in the league. It is to be understood that this stand- ing began with the last schedule and ,fi' continue until the end of the season. In case of tied games these games are dropped from the reckoning. Teams Pct.

Last year Ufer was the mainstay in the 880-yard event, although "Eddie" Carroll doubled up and ran the half with Ufer on several occasions. This year Ufer will probably find Murphy running with him, and "Cap's" showing two years ago indicates that Michigan will be well fortified in the half, for Murphy has run under two minutes and should show even better this spring than he did two years ago. "Red" Donnelly and George Fox are also capable men over this route, al- though both are better milers. Michi- gan could turn out a very creditable two-mile relay team with these men to select from. Murphy and iUfer are also good quar- ter milers, and could be switched to this event if the occasion arose. This will probably be unnecessary, though, for if "Al" Robinson comes through as his showing last spring indicates he should, Michigan will have a 440-man that can step under 50 seconds almost eve'y time out if he ispushed. While still running in prep school, "Al" was clocked in 48 3-5 on one occasion, and even "Phil" Jansen and "Hap" Haf couldn't better this mark. Robinson suffered from rheumatism last spring and was prevented from taking part in the M. A. C.-A-Fresh meet, but he seems in good shape this fall. Robinson really ran but one race on Ferry Field last spring and that was in the Varsity meet when he romped home head of Farrell's Var- sity performers in 49 3-5. Huntington and Fontana were both new at 440 last year and a year's ex- perience should aid them greatly. Max Robinson will probably run the low hurdles this year instead of the 440. Max has plenty of speed but he will have to conquer the stride and form necessary over the low sticks. DEAN VAU HAN To HELP AWARD . PRIZE OF $1,000 FOR ESSAY Dean Victor C.

Drew, the crack sprinter of the University of Southern California, and holder of the world's record of 9'1-5 seconds for the 100-yard dash, arrived here yesterday from Los Angeles for the special race in the seventy-yard event at the Milrose A. A. games next Wednesday night. Drew will run against the winner of the national championships at San Francisco, Joe Loomis, of the Chi- cago A. A. Loomis has already de- feated the colored sprinter, in the na- tional events, and although Drew holds the world's record, he can not be said to be the champion. His show- ing against Loomis; Morse, the na- tion champion for the 220-yard dash, and Stephenson, wil be watched with a greater interest than merely for the victory, as there has been a rumor afloat that the speed of the colored champ has considerably diminished since an injury to his knee some time ago. It is said for this reason, he failed, to show well in the national championships and although he is still held by all as a great runner, many believe that the accident slowed him up. ALL-FRESH TRACK MEN TO HOLD SECOND MEET JmHOP EXTRA On Sale, February 12 BABY SOUVENIR NUMBER OF THE MICHIGAN D AI LY Limited Edition Cinder Aspirants to Stage One Series of Saturday Meets Th~lis Afternoon of THE DAILY SPORTOSCOPE I Candidates for Michigan's 1916 All- Fresh cinder outfit will stage the sec- ond of their series of Saturday after- noon track meets this afternoon at 2:30 o'clock sharp in Waterman gym. The meet will include all of the ev- ents which the athletes will have in their itinerary of track sports for this season, and will be handled in prac- tically the same manner as the one of last week. A field of 150 men is booked to appear for the various branches of the cinder sport, and of these it is expected that at least 60 will line up for the starting gun of. the 35-yard dash.. All this week the new men have shown up in force in preparation for the second meet, and although some good marks were hung up in the ini- tial coming out of the freshmen, the marks put up last Saturday are ex- pected to be bettered in several of the events. A number of candidates who were not out last week, have signified their intention of showing up tomor- row, and several of this number have excellent prep school records behind them. Whether you want to take a train or make a call, we will get you there on time. Our service is just as prompt in bad weather as on pleasant days.

The Sportoscope editor was igno- miniously shot 'in the back while inr the pursuit of duty, according to the military issue of the Gargoyle whichl made its appearance yesterday noon. (Nope, this isn't an adv.) A daring and courageous war-lad has fearlessly crept up to within 20 paces of our unprotected back and even the fatal bullet is graphically de- picted in its deadly flight. Our farewell thoughts seem to have been of "Dear Put;" at least these words are issuing from the typewriter -a silent tribute of devotion. We disliked to die-even for the Gargoyle-which perhaps is an elo- quent expression of our purely per- sonal and selfish desires 'for further existence. But we note with infinite relief that we did not die alone! The Gargoyle editor seemed destined to accompany us! There he stands on his hind legs, suspiciously (or knowingly) sniffing of the contents of the keg upon which we are seated. Bearing down upon him from behind is a spirited, charg- ing courser. His end seems inevitable! But, alas! Such are the immutable laws of Fate! The Gargoyle editor apparently is bent upon securing a drink, surely a reprehensible act upon the field of battle, but he should not be judged too severely. Perhaps our war re- ports drove him to drink. Again; per- haps he mistakes us for a nut. (Hor- rible thought!) However, even in death, there re- mains one consolation which can be shared alike by the Gargoyle boss and the Sportoscope editor. Our demise comes in the best book that the Gar- goyle has issued this year. Death should be glorious in such flattering surroundings! Would that we could die again! One life is too few to offer for such a cause.
