CORNELL BOASTS Several Members Of Red And White Teant Are Finest Athletes In The East RUSSELL, HESTER CLASH Coach Jack Mfoakley, of Cornell, has a a well balanced team to match up against the invading Wolverine track team Saturday at Ithaca. The Red and White team includes as its mem- bers some of the finest 4jiletes in eastern collegiate circles. Moakley's crew is especially strong in the sprints, with Captain Russell and Goodwillie the star performers. The former is the eastern intercolleg- iate champion in the 75 yard sprint, having won this event at the annual indoor intercollegiate track meet held recently at New York. In scoring his win Russell beat out such well knowni f sprinters as Frank Hussey, of Boston college, and Miller, of Harvard, for- mer title holder and on a basis of past ime performances the Cornell cap- tian is favored over Hester in the sprints Saturday. The mile relay run promises to be one of the closest and most interest- ing of the meet. The Michigan team composed of Hernnstein, Oldheiser, Mueller and Feinsinger is one of the best in the Middle West. The indoor Conference meet held at Northwest- ern,Ahe Wolverines finished second to Iowa losing out by a few inches aft- er leading all the way. The Red and White relay team with Fairbanks, Captain Russell, Goodwillie and Wer- ly ran the distance in 3:30 2-5 in a dual meet against Yale. The Cornell team also finished second in the mile relay race at the indoor intercolleg- iates. Time Trials For' Cornell Meet ToBe Held Today Time trials will be held this after- noon by Coach Farrell in the high , jump, 880 yard and mile runs, to de- termine what men in these events shall make the Cornell trip this week- end. Coach Farrell stated yesterday tat. he intends to take to Ithaca all men that have a chance of placing in the events that are on the program. This will make up a squad of about 24 tracksters. Several of the Varsity track men have been incapacitated for the past few days, but most of them are at present in good shape, Lasser, a hurdler, has just recovered from a case of grippe, and is again working out with the squad. Callahan was also laid up for several days with grippe, but he too is in good shape now. Leshinsky, stellar performer in the ;slrints who did not compete in the Conference meet because of ill- ness, is still in a weak condition and in all probabilities will not make the Cornell trip. JOHNSON WiLL ATTEMPT 816LASU OMEBACK Walter Johnson, Washington's vet- eran hurler, who came close to gain- ing immortal fame in the World Series last year, but who lost out by a hair when the elements went agaihst him, is coming back this year. After Walter had struggled through that terrible seventh and eighth inn- inlgs in the last game of the series at Forbes field last year, critics and fans were unanimous in their decision that Johnson had pitched his last game. But Walter is not convinced that he is through, and so he has re- ported to the training camp of the Senatprs at Tampa and is slowly working back into his last year's shape. In accordance with his plan which he adopted last year Bucky Harris, Washington manager, will not over- burden Johnson with practice work- outs, and has already excused himn from the barnstorming tour which the' Senators will take this year. Charles Hoff, the Norwegian holder of the world's pole-vault record, has been invited to display his wares in the University of Washington relay carnival May 1. FRESHMAN BALL TEAM PkACTICE POSTPONED Because of the present condi- tions of the Ferry practice fields, I candidates for the freshman ball team will not swing into action1 until after the spring vacation. It was expected that Coach S Mather, who will direct the ac- Itivities of the, freshman ball team, would make an early call for practice, but because of the I I unfavorable condition of the field; he.has postponed the first prac- E Iftice drill until after the recess. Purple Gridders Ordered Out For ,Spring p''ractice By Joseph Weiss One hundred football men have been ordered to report for spring practice at Northwestern university, by Coach Glenn Thistlethwaite. Ev- ery man who expects to try out for the team next fall is requested to par- ticipate in the spring training. The sessions will be held each aft- ernoon under the direction of Coach Thistlethwaite and a number of aids. Tim Lowry, captain of last fall's team, will help his former chief in conditioning the men. Lowry will' have charge of the candidates for the center position. This job is expected to be one of the big problems for the Purple next fall. Enthusiasm for ootball continues to run high at Northwestern, follow- ing the successful showing of the team last fall and one of the largest squa's ever to turn out for spring drill is anticipated. Ralph "Moon" Baker, captain-elect of the squad, is busy rounding up the men who are supposed to make a bidI for the squad. Moon will spend most of his time this fall in assisting Coach Thistlewaite with the backfield candi- dates. Freshmen especially will be given intensive drill in carrying the ball, blocking, and tackling.

Indiana Partisans Elated Over New Football Leader Students, alumni, and close follow- ers of Indiana university are highly elated over the selection of Pat Page, a former University of Chicago star and until recently, director of ath- letics at Butler college, to the head football post. Page succeeds "Navy Bill" Ingram who resigned at the end of the 1925 season to accept a position as head grid coach at the United States Naval academy, his alma mater. Indiana university has fared with indifferent football success during the past few years, but followers of the Hoosier institution are convinced that Page will develop a Western Confer- ence football championship team in the next few years. While at Butler, Indiana's new lead- er established quite an enviable rec- ord as coach in basketball and foot- ball. During his five years at Butler,' Page's grid machines were victorious in 32 conte43 out of 44, scoring 929 points to the opponents' 369. His net quintets emerged winners 89 tin.3s in 114 contests.

Rain, which most of fandom abho- was hailed yesterday by Coach ItaC, Fisher, of Michigan's baseball s qu'adi, as a welcome element. For while the rain poured down outside and seit the majority of students and towns folk under shelter Coach Fisher sent his ien through their customary practice within the confines of the field house, and at the same tim( gloried in knowing that rain- brings warm weather and fairer days and takes the frost out of baseball dia, monds. Coach Fisher's men have practically been untouched by the grippe, Lou:: Gilbert being the only candidate who has been suffering from the symp- toms of the malady. Gil Thorne, on&. of the most promising candidates for the pitching position, has been forced to refrain from practicing for a few days on account of an injured leg Thorne had just recovered from al sore pitching arm,; when he injured himself in batting rpractice a-nd was forced to extend his layoff. "lar" Walters, a veteran pitcher from last year's squad, was not out for practice yesterday, but it is not believed that his absence was due to any serious illness.
