kee is Trans-Mississippi champion and
western collegiate champion. Al-
though onily a sophomore he plays
number one and has the edge on the
other members of his team. Against
Chicago, who beat the Illini 11 to 4
last week, he met his first defeat at the
hands of Hartman, the captain of the
Maroon aggregation. Captain LeBos-
quet did not play against the Ma-
roons but was beaten in the Drake
match. Whether he will play here is
doubtful for several other men have
shown to better advantage. Frederick-
son has been playing number two
and will probably play here in
that position. Novotny is number
three, and he, too, will probably
* play here. Hatch is the player who
was in the Chicago meet and he
also played in place of Captain
LeBosquet in part of the Drake match.
The Wolverines will probably line
- up in the same way that they have in
the last two ,matches against Ohio
State and Purdue. Captain Winters
will play number one and the other
- men will be Loeb, Smith and Steke-
f tee. There remain one or two other
men out for the team who have a
slight chance to get in, but they will
have to show better golf than they
have, for the regulars have been de-
voting much time to practice and
have been playing at top form all
spring.a
Miehigan Favored
Winters will have considerable dif-
ficulty with Rolfe, but all the other
men should be able to win their
matches and give the victory to Mich-
igan. As Chicago won decisively from
the Illini players unless Michigan wins'
also it will look bad for them, for
they met the Maroon team on May 29'
at Chicago.

Although most of the men who be-1
come bright luminaries in the athletic
world do so from years of work and
after much experience, occasionally a
star is found who has a natural apti-
tude for the event in which he enters
and in a short time is able to take
his place among the foremost athletes
in that event.
Such a man is Howard Hoffman, the
phenomenal Wolverine jgvelin throw-
er. Before entering the Un'iversity
Hoffman had no experience at all
with track athletics and his present
ability is the result of his work since
coming to Michigan. Hoffman re-
ceived his prep work at Ludington
high school, but while at that institu-
tion did not go out for track but con-
lined his athletic endeavors to play-
ing on the football team. His dis-
covery as a potential javelin thrower
came two years ago when Steve Far-
rell, the Varsity track mentor, saw
[him performing stunts in Waterman
gymnasium which require strong arm
and shoulder muscles. After talking
with the coach about different weight
events Hoffman decided that he would
attempt the heaving of the javelin as
at that time Michigan had no repre-
sentative in this event.
4akes Record Throw
Hoffman entered his first meet for
the Wolverines against the Illini in
the ddal meet two years ago. He
failed to place in his first attemptl
finishing fourth but lacking only one
inch of taking third money. In the
next meet he won his event for the
first time against i the Maroons,
throwing the javelin a distance of 142
feet 9 inches. His next victory came
at the annual outdoor Conference
meet in the same year when as a dark
horse he broke, the Big Ten record
with a heave of 172 feet 10 inches.
This broke the record, held by Wil-
son of Illinois, by more than 8 feet.

ference champion Hoffman met some
real opposition in a newcomer at Il-
linois. Brede last year made a whirl-
wind start, hanging up a record of
192 feet early in the season. Hoff-
man, however, also showed marked
improvement, breaking the Ferry field
record with a throw of 182 feet. His
own best attempt before this had been
only 172, but in the Chicago dual meet
last year he bettered his record by
more than 10 feet. ° In the Big Ten
meet last year he again went into the
contest doped to lose to the Sucker
star, Brede, and again was able to
come through with top honors,
breaking his own Conference record
with a throw of 178 feet 4 inches. .
f This year, his third yea of compe-
tition, he is still recognized as the
best in the Conference. Again he has
been compelled to cope with some of
the best competition in the country.
At the Penn relays he took second
place, losing to Angiers, the American
champion, when the Illinois star threw
the javelin -a distance of 202 feet 7
inches, establishing a new record. An-
glerp was a member of the American
Ofy4npic team entering in the same
event.
Won from Anglers
Last Saturday, 'bpwever, Hoffman
turned the tables on the Illini man
and defeated him in the dual meet
with a throOi of 200 feet. This was
the third time that the Wolverine star
has entered a meet doped to lose and
still has come through with first hon-
ors. In two weeks Hoffman will have
a chance to become the Conference
champion for the third consecutive
year in his event, but he will have
keen competition in the Illini oppon-
ent. Hoffman has come through every
time so far and may be depended up-
on to do his best to keep his slate
clean.
Cinder Nren Leave
For Chicago J'eet
Michigan's track team, numbering
twenty-two men, will leave for Chi-
cago tonight, where they will meet the
Maroon aggregation Saturday. Due to
the fact that the Wolverines have
been handicapped in their training by
the 'rainy weather of the past few
days, and also toi the fact that they
are not competing Son their home
track, the Maroons are given a more
favorable decree by old man dope
than they had last year. There is no
doubt that Michigan will come out
on the long end of the score, put the
score is not expected to be so long
this year.
Last yar the Wisconsln'team down-
ed the Maroons by -a score of 105 to
30, while this year the score was 81
and 2-3 to 30. -.Last year Mil'iga's
team went three better than -the
BaVgers and 'defeated the Chicago
Team by a total of 108 to 27. Con-
sidering the fact that the Badgers and
Wolverines by their stands aainst the
onslaughts of Illinois, this y ar prov-
ed themselves to be about equal the
scoring in the meet next Saturday is
expected to adhere quite closely to
that of the Badger-Maroon meet.
Th , meet to be held tomorrow swill
be the last dual meet on the Wolverine
schedule for the year. The -Yxt big
thing that the -men will be preparing
for upon their return from the W ncl
City will be the Western Conference
championships to be held at Des
Moines, Iowa, on Julie 2 and 3.
