track team won the eleventh indoor
Conference meet by a wide margin.
Michigan came in second and Wiscon-
sin third.
Taking 5 out of 10 firsts and as many
seconds, the Illinois runners had lit-
tie trouble. They were particularly
strong'in the two mile, high jump and
half mile. Michigan's strength lay in
the dash, where they scored 8 points.
They also showed well in the quarter
mile and shot put. Wisconsin took a
first in the hurdles and a first and
second in the pole vault. Minnesota
sprang a surprise by winning the mile.
' One record was broken in course of
the meet when Alberts of Illinois leap-

The old record was 6 feet 1-2 inch.

going over the stick in 7 3-5 seconds.
These were the outstanding perform-
ances.

Orden and Stipe did better than 42
feet in placing second and third in
the shot. Sargent came through for a
third in the hurdles which was more

other Michigan points.
