Since entering track competition in 1893, Michigan has won 14 major western track and field meets, or meets similar to the Conference championships of today. In 1896 and 1917 major western track meets were snot held, and during the years 1907 through 1916, Michigan competed in major eastern meets instead of west- ern. Thus in 21 years of western coin- petition, Michigan has won the high- est honors 14 times. From 1893 through 1900, Michigan won first place five times, second once, and third once, in Western In- tercollegiate meets. This organiza- tion was similar to the Western Con- ference today and was composed of a few of the larger schools and many small schools, but entries to its meets were not restricted to schools who were not members. The Western Inte ollegiate Confer- ence broke up in 1900 because a*ium- ber of the smaller school combined to elect officers of their own choosing.. In 1901, the Western Conference es- sentially as it is, today came into being. From 1901 through 1906, Michigan" won first place in the Intercollegiate Conference meets five times .and sec- ond the other. During the years 1907 through 1916, Michigan withdrew from the Western .Intercollegiate meets to take part in the Eastern Intercolleg- iate meets. In the East, the Maize] and Blue athletes were able to takeI second place once, third place five, times, fifth place once, and sixth -placej threetimes, in the Eastern champion- sh'ips.< It was in the Penn Relay races -that the Wolverines ranked supreme dur- 1 ing the years 1905 through 1908, and in 1910 and 1911, they had the "best record of any entry.,, In1908, at the Penn games, Michi- # gan -won both the four mile and two mile relays, the former by default be- cause of previous performances of Michigan athletes in that event. In 1917, the entire outdoor schedule of the track team was cancelled be- cause of the war. In 1918, Michigan again entered the Conference cham- pionships, and since then, the Wol- verines have won the highest honors four times. The Conference championships in I 1926 -will be ;novel in that; this year, will mark the first time that entries have been restricted to Conference, schools.

With the adoption of professional hockey by three American cities the Stanley Cup, emblem of world su- premacy in the ice game, becomes the objective of hockey clubs in the United States. The donor of the cup was a former governor-general'of Canada ard it has never been held by other than Canadian teams. The present world champions are the Cougars of Victoria, British Columbia. Boston entered a team in the Na- tional Hockey league last year. The experiment proved successful and this season New York and Pittsburgh fol- lowed. For many years hockey has been played in various parts of the United States and especially the northern fringe touching the Canadian border. That the success of the game does not depend upon a cold climate is shown by the fact that the Victoria team has not natural skating.
