(By Joseph A. Bernstein)
The University of Illinois track
team this afternoon won the Western
Conference) ichampionship, nosing
Michigan out of the honors. The Wol-
verines were second. Illinois finished
first in four places, tying for first in
one. Emery was probably the most
briliant performer.
Michigan was greatly handicapped
by the absence of Johnson from his
customary cinder path events. He
competed only in the broad jump, tak-
ing first. His condition did not war-
rant his entrance into the hurdles or
high jump,
Furnass of Purdue was one of the
acknowledged stars of the meet. He
came within four seconds of the two-
mile record.
The officials of the meet, lead by
the Michigan Varsity band playing the
Victors circled the field. They-halted
in the middle of the gridiron and play-
the Star Spangled Banner. The little
ceremony was very impressive.
Threatening thundershowers in the
afternoon. Referee Dean announced
to the stands that all the events would
be run off. Imnediately after the an-
nouncement a drizzling rain began to
fall on the field. Many of the athletes
ran for cover. However, the mile run
was started.
The heavy downpour handicapped
the milers severely. The rain was ap-
parently responsible for the slow
time, 4:28 2-5. Yates of Illinois won
the race but he was closely pressed
by Burke of Notre Dame. The 440-
yard run was likewise contested in
the rain but its time was considerably
better. Emery of Illinois took first,
with his time 48 4-5 seconds, Casper
of Notre Dame took second, Butler of
Michigan third, and Donohue of Illi-
nois fourth..
Scholz of Missouri was an easy vic-
tor in the 100 yard dash, leading his
nearest opponent by two yards at the
finish. He did it in 10 seconds flat.
Johnson of Minnesota was second.
Although a clos race, the hurdles
were run off in only 15 4-5 seconds.
Wright of Nebraska won, with An-
drews of Wisconsin second. Beards-
ley of Michigan was just beaten out
for third by Wallace of Illinois.
In the half mile Sprott of California
exhibited a sensational sprint, clos-
ing out Spink of Illinois for second
place. Meighan of Notre Dame cap-
tured first in the fast time 1:54 1-5.
Spink of Illinois added two points to
the Indian record with a third. Nash
of Wisconsin. finished fourth.
Scholz of Missouri duplicated hi
performance 'in the 100 yard dash by
capturing the 220 'in record time-21
3-5 seconds. His performance was
brilliant. Massengale of Missouri,

Michigan,
,'22:71;
Keeling,

raska, Wisconsin showed good men in the
:61/; half mile, broad jump, and shot put,
ggins, Sundt placing in the two latter and
souri, Nash qualifying in the 880. Chicago
, Chi- survivors from yesterday's events will
Baker, appear this afternoon when Speer will
dlater, run the half mile and Higgins com-
Mich- petes in the shot and discus. Yester-
8:2%; day the big Maroon won the latter and
inois; took fourth in the shot put.
Nebraska Takes Shot Put
in the
ale of Nebraska's entry in the shot put,
Sornia, Dale, emerged first from the prelim-
throw inaries, tossing the weight 43 feet, 7
rst 1w 1-2 inches, an inch ahead of Majors.
' over Cornell's one man track team, Bret-
nall, ran Emery, the Illinois captain,
in thea hot race in the quarter forcing him
-, but under 50 seconds to win. McClung of
, b Missouri qualified in the shot put, and

Miller of Purdue in the javelin. Sla-
ter, the dark skinned son of Iowa,
threw the discus well and will be in
the finals this afternoon. Indiana
placed one man in the broad jump,.
Keeling, and Meehan and Kasper of
Notre Dame showed their heels tp the
field in their heats of the half and
quarter mile respectively.
This afternoon's big events will
start at 2:15 o'clock with Illinois and
Michigan the ruling favorites. Wol-i
verine stock took a big boost with
the showing of Carl Johnson in the
broad jump and if his performance be
any criterion of his condition some
unexpected points may roll in. Cali-
fornia still is' conceded a chance of
victory, however, as are Wisconsin
and Chicago.

lead over Michigan.
In the 220 low hurdles the stands
