TRACK QUARTET ENTERS
BUFFALOINDER MEET
Cariroll, Ufer, Donnelly and Murphy
Compose Team to Face
Cornell
Carroll, Ufer, Donnelly and Murphy,
Michigan's quartet of 880-yard men
who will run against Cornell at the
74th Infantry meet at Buffalo tonight
left the local Michigan Central station
at 9:45 o'clock last evening for the
western metropolis of the Empire
State. The men were accompanied by
Coach "Steve" Farrell.
The contending teams will have
something beside mere glory of vic-
tory to strive for, as each member of
the winning team will. be given a
diamond tie pin in honor of his
achivement.
According to the dope, and the form
each displayed in last week's contest
at Philadelphia, the Cornellians have
a slight edge on the chances for vic-
tory. Windnagle, the Red anchor man,
finished the last lap of the two-mile
contest about five yards in front of
Carroll, of the Varsity last week. But
with such a small distance separating
the two contenders, a slight reversal l
of form on the Cornell squad, or a
slightly faster race on the part of one
of the Wolverines would be sufficient
to spill all the dope by the wayside.
The team left last evening in very
confident spirit and Coach Farrell re-
covered from his customary silence
sufficiently to say that the race would
be at least a close affair.

]Former Box lug Instructorn ScNecds
in Composition and
r- Inventioni
Michigan has been blessed in the
past by geniuses in more than one edu-
cational-line. Now she is to be con
gratulated upon having a hitherto un-
d known aspirant to those honors in
still another field of her widely spread
curriculum. This newly discovered
o idol is o. S. Westerman, master of the
r manly art of self-defense and erst-
while boxing instructor in Waterman
_gym.
Mr. Westerman lays claim to the
above mentioned title through the
ability he has lately displayed in the
two arts of composition and invention.
He has just completed a treatise on
various phases of the boxing game, the
, title of which is "Counter-Back on a
- Counter." It is intended for two class-
es of people, namely: those who lhav-
no teacher or are unable to secure
one, and for teachers themselves as
, an aid to them in their work. When
questioned as to the general character
and content of the treatise Mr. Wester-
man said that it contained the most
material of a fundamental nature of
any book known to him on the mar-
ket today. The work is still in the
hands of the printers but is expected
to be out sometime this week, after
which it will be sent to the patent of-
fice to be copyrighted. The instructor
states that lie will have a copy of it
with him in the boxing room of the
gymnasium within a few days, to be
used by his classes in boxing.
But it is in the field of invention
that Mr. Westerman has so clearly
lemonstrated his superior ability. He
has lately devised a new kind of box-
ing glove which he calls the "mauler."
The peculiar characteristic of this new
glove is the fact that it is thumibless
Three main advantages are derived
from this feature:
1. The thumb will be completely
protected.
2. Hitting or slapping with the open
hand will be impossible.
3. Holding or clinching will be more
difficult. '
Mr. Westerman states that the need
for such a glove arose because of the
constant injuries to boxers' thumbs,
causing the postponement of many im-
portant matches every year. To elim-
nate this trouble the inventor has been
working on such a glove for several
years. Looking over the past history
of the glove making industry he found
that from the very first the boxing
glove was constructed on the wrong
principles, which gives it such a clum-
sy appearance. He then hit upon the
plan of placing the hand in a natural
hitting position, that is, with the fist
clenched, and then building the glove
around it. The hand is closed on a
lbather grip which prevents the fin-
gers being forced into the palm as al
blow lands. This braces the hand and
relieves the strain. As the device has
no separate compartments for fingers
or thumb it does not seem proper to
call it a glove. Therefore it is called
a mauler.
Mr. Westerman expects the "Maul-
er" to revolutionize the boxing game,
not only because it affords protection
to a part of the hand hitherto unpro-
tected, but because it will prove a
great aid to referees if adopted by the
National Boxing Commission. The in-
structor stated that two of the more
difficult problems which an arbiter
must watch are slapping an opponent
with the open glove, and clinching.
The "Mauler" practically eliminates
the former and makes the latter ex-
tremely difficult.
The new glove also possesses an-
other distinct advantage in that it will
cost considerably less than the or-
dinary glove. This is made possiblet
by the fact that less material is used
in its construction than in the latter.
A patent has already been applied for
and is ekpected by the instructor with-
in the next fewlays.

Young man, do you wish to become
strong? Does there lie concealed
within your snowy breast a throbbing
ambition to stand out in this age of
Vernie Castles as the heir of the con-
bined physical attributes of Hercules
and John L. Sullivan? And with this
end, in view, have you tugged at
weights and swung clubs and grunt-
ingly squirmed through Doc May's
gym stunts in a vain attempt to in-
crease that bulge in your upper arm?
lf you have tried all these things to
no avail and are ready to slip back
into the submerged nine-tenths of the
tango-tea artists in disgust, take heart,
for you may yet succeed.
But first you must mend your er-
ring ways, for you are on the wrong
track entirely. Throw away your
dumb-bells, bid Doc May a gentle but
firm farewell, and get out in the open
air. Throw out your chest and gulp
down the ozone in gobs. Get some
light outdoor job, such as pitching
hay or feeding anthracite into the
fiery maw of a mogul. Then and only
then may you hope for the fulfillment
of your ambition.
At least, such is the contention of
Roy W. Johnson, '18, intercollegiate
strong man. Johnson never saw the
inside of a gymnasium until lie came
to Michigan and ascribes his wonder-
ful development wholly to the fact
that he has always lived and worked
out of doors. Born on a farm, lie
early became accustomed to open-air
labor, and has kept at it ever since.
When he left the farm a few years
ago, he secured a position as fireman
on the Grand Trunk railroad, runing
between Port Huron and Chicago.
"Accustomed as I was to hard work,"
said he, in speaking of his experience,
"the first few weeks at this job near-
ly finished me. But I pulled through
and continued firing for two years andr
a half. The hours were long and the
bodily effort was immense. but Inever
regretted taking the job, for it has
done wonders for ine physically. Reg-
ular hours, good food, antI hard out-t
