It is only when the facts of athe
case are known that it becomes ebi-

the star of the A. A. U. meet in New
York, for the second place which he
captured and the third for which he
tied only begin to tell the story, a cir-
cumstance which the eastern papers
were not backward in recognizing.
Only Scratch Man
In the 75 yard dash the Michigan
captain was beaten, by Lourie of
Princeton, but Michigan's representa-
tive was the only scratch man in the
run, and Lourie was ,given a 12 foot-
handicap. Despite this fact the race
wa's so close that the Judges were in
doubt as to the outcome, Lourie was
awarded first by less than one foot,
' the time being eight seconds. This
leaves Johnson easily the fastest com-
petitor.
Egon Erickson, who captured the
high jump, is the New York p6lice-
man who competed in.the last Olymp-
ics. In spearing of him Johnson said,
"He is in all reality a wonderful high
jumper." Erickson has been in active
competition for 18 years now, being
36 years old, married, and has four
children. He is a traffic policeman at
34th Street and Broadway.
In Sunday's Daily it was stated that
Johnson did not jump off the tie for
third with Wahler, which may ,give
a wrong impression, as " such a tie is

f Called Leading Athlete
The New York Sun hailed Johnson
as the leading athlete of the present
day in its story written after the meet.
Before the meet he was given a full-
page in the Boston Post, in which
such coaches as Keene FitzPatrick
compared his record with that of Al-
vin Kraenzlein, who is considered one
of the greatest track men of all time.-

With the grades for the first semes-
ter all in, the varsity track squad has
suffered 'through ineligibility in the
high jump only. In. this event, Coach
Farrell is exceptionally hard hit. Of'
the five candidates,'Haigh, Barringer,
.and Hobie will be unable to compete.
This leaves only Captain Johnson and
Later for this event. Outside of the
high jump, the squad is intact.
The first real blow that has beenf
dealt. the Varsity comes as the result
of the injury to Burkholder. While
warming up on the floor, Paul pulled
a tendon in his leg. It was at first
hoped that he had. merely strained a,
cord, but closer examination reveal-
ed a pulled tendon. The injury will
keep him out of a track suit and all
competition' for at least three weeks.
Burkholder is Steve's best half miler
and his absence from the squad will
be greatly felt in, both the Illinois
eRlays on March 6, and the dual meet
with Chicago on March 13. Coach Far-
rell hopes that he-will be-in shape for
the Indoor Confprence meet at Evans-a
ton.
Everett Looks Good
Under the careful direction and
coaching of Steve Farrell and his as-
sistants, a distance squad is slowly
being developed. Everett, 'the most.
promising miler on last year's fresh-
man team, is now eligible for the Var-
sity. He has not, been out for practice,
much ars yet but already he is show-.
ing up favorably. With Maynard, Earle
and other members of the cross-coun-,
try team, a squad for the distances is
rounding into shape. -
As usual, practically- the entire
squad was out for practice yesterday
afternoon. The quarter milers are
continuing to improve and while noth-
ing phenomenal has' been done as yet,'
Coach Farrell 'looks to a strong mile
relay team. The half. milers worked
out but the absence of Burkholder
was apparent. Steve gave the milers
a fairly easy day.
Dash Men Going Well
In the dashes, Wetzel, Losch,
Meese, and Joyner ran through sev-
eral heats. Wetzel ran especially well.

which promises to make the fight for
regular berths hotter than 'usual. The
greater part of the afternoon was
spent ip batting fast bounders to the
inflelders. After a short wrkout in

these men comethrough, the Wolver-
Sue pitching staff should round out in
fine shape.
The catching department is still
weak in numbers. Genebach, Coates,
Bigelow, and Taggart were all out
showing good form.
S Infielders Work Hard
The infielders were given a chance
to shovf' their stuff. Hot liners;
bounders and 'rollers were batted to
all aspirants. Several of the new men
gave some pretty exhilitions of one-
hand stops and showed good pegging

Willard L Peach, often known as
"Waffle," was one of the" fortunate
ones to receive a sheepskin at the
close of the last semester. The stocky
pigskin chaser completed his course
in the Literary college at ' that time
and has now left these academic
shades for larger fields of endeavor.
Entering Michigan in the fall of
1S15 Peach became one of the bright
stars of that year's freshman football
team. 'He held down the right end of
the line in. satisfactory shape all sea-
son. The following fall he figured
prominently in the defeat of M. A. C.:
and in the wonderful fourth quarter
come-back in which Michigan nosed
out Syracuse 14 to 13. He played
right end on the Varsity throughout
the 1916 season and was awarded his
"M" at its close.
When the United States became em-
broiled with Germany et aL Peach
was among those who heeded the call
to arms, and he remained in the mil-
itary service until last spring. He re-
turned to college in the fall and Yost
counted on. him as. one of the main-
stays of his team. An unfortunate in-
jury to his leg, however, impaired his
usefulness considerably and the coach
found it advisable to shift him to a
guard position, where speed was not
to essential as at the flank job.
BENT FOOTBALL AND FRESH
CROSS COUNTRY JERSEYS READY
and this is what has given it the vic-
tories over'seemingly stronger teams.1
For this .reason the game will prob-
ably be the best 'exhibition' of hockey
which Michigan has seen.
Constant and arduous practice has
developed the offensive >work of the
Michigan aggregation. This is the de-
partment in which the team has been
weak, but great improvement has been
made since the victory over the Web- j
ers. The Weber manager particularly[
praised our defensive work andk now
that several new offensive combina-
ltions have been worked out, the Mich-
4gan squad is one to be feared.

doubtedly be given an opportunity to
