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. Westerman Finds New Title Haven SOPH ENGINEERS LOSE TRIO Of "M" MEN AY TO FORESTERS' QUINTET COMPOSE 1918 OUTFIELD Athlete Suggests Fresh Air Plan Intercollegiate Stron'g an Atirib ii ]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. Wisconsin Football Star Accepts Offer Waco, Texas, Mar. 17.-Eugene Van Gent, former Wisconsin footbahl star, and later coach at the University of Missouri, has formally accepted the of- fer of the Athletic Council of the Uni- versity of Texas and will serve as head tutor of the Longhorns next season.

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.

The athlete's legs have been bother- ing him somewhat this week, due to a rather severe fall taken while running on the track.
