The explosion, believed to have been caused by ignited coal dust occurred at 12:40 o'clock. Rescue crews of the Colorado Steel and Iron company arrived shortly af- terwards and started clearing the shaft in which the explosion took place. The bodies of the five men were brought out late today. The 127 miners who escaped through an airshaft, were working in another part of the mine and did not hear the explosion. They knew noth- ing of what happened until they were told by their foremen to go out through the shaft., 'PNSIAN IUTRtR ITION ma TuI CHIGAN TRACKMEN FAVORIED WIN BIG, TEN MEET AFTER ALIFYING 12 MEN IN TRIALS TEARY RAIN CAUSES UPSETS e AS MANY FAVORITES a FAIL TO PLACE fi b COOPER FAILS IN HIGHS w w fo owa With 10 Places, Illinois With 9, and Wisconsin With 8 e Follow Closely d N By Herbert Vedder s Sports Editor t CAMP RANDALL, Madison, May 27. hi -University of Michigan athletes dom- R nated the preliminaries of the 27th a annual Western Conference Track and, Field championship b placing men t in 10 of the 11 events in which trials L were held today. A cold rain fellw most of the afternoon making good b performances seemingly impossible. Some of the times and distances were y quite good, and exceptional in view o of conditions. Twelve Wolverines si gained a total of 16 places for the s Maize and Blue, while Iowa, Illinois and Wisconsin followed with 10, 9 I and 8 positions for the finals to be l held tomorrow. w The only real disappointment was i Cooper's failure to qualify in the high o hurdles, but the low hurdles more I than made up for this deficiency when e Cooper and Jones both placed. Hester s secured his places in the sprints but o Lasser could not come near the lead- w ers today. Ohlheiser's failure to qual- o ify in the 440 came as a surprise. p Michigan did all that anyone could f ask in the field events with three qualifiers in the hammer, two in the w discus and javelin, and one each in n the broad jump and shot put. The half h ihilers exceeded expectations by gain- 1 ing two of the eight places in the T finals. c Iowa's 10 places among the qual- f ifiers were distributed through nine events, the low hurdles being the only 1 event in which more than one Hawk- V eye won his way to the finals. Illi- h nois' nine, however, were in six S events, three men qualifying in the L broad jump. Wisconsin gained six g places in the track event and only s two In the field. Ohio qualified 7, Minnesota and In- diana 6, Northwestern 8, Chicago 2 s and Purdue 1.c Jack Lovett boosted Michigan hopesI in the shot put by scoring the longest a put of the qualifying round, a toss of h 46 feet 3 inches, on his second try,S His third throw was also a 45 foot put. Lewis of Northwestern made 45 feetv 10 inches on his second attempt ands Forwald was third. Lyon of Illinoisl was unable to do better than 44 feetc 8 5-8 inches. The Wolverines suffered a severe setback in the high hurdles when Don Cooper, running in t he fast thirdI heat, trailed McGinnis of WisconsinC and McKeever of Illinois to the tape in 15:3. Cooper was never in the race, getting off to a slow start. His l Ffast finish however, carried him justr a foot or two out of second place. In the low hurdles, the decision wast reversed, with, Michigan qualifying Cooperand Jones while Tarbill barely missed qualifying with a third in the first heat. Cooper ran his race as he p e sd w ie J n s w nb l a pleased while Jones won by a clear margin over Irvin. Byathe time this event was run the rain was falling again. Pahlmyer of Wisconsin sprung the surprise of this event by winning the second heat in 15:4 with Irwin sec- ond. Allison of Iowa was in this heat, but failed to qualify. Baird of Iowa merely went through the motions of running the quarter mile with Leonard of Michigan tag- ging behind him in the first heat, run in 50:4. None of the other three Michigan runners in this event, qualified, Muel- ler placing fourth in the second heat I with Munger in a triple tie for fourth in the next race. Ohheiser staged a great finish in the fourth heat but was unable to overtake the leaders who had a 10 or 15 yard lead on him at the last turn, where he lost his stride in trying to pass a man on this turn. Stephenson of Indiana and Orlavich of Illinois ran great races to do under :50 seconds on the heavy track. Both Schravesand and Lovette qual- ified in the discus with the latter hav- ing the second best throw of the day, one of 131 feet. The steady Rasmus of Ohio led the field. Jack Lovette made it a perfect day for himself when he qualified third in the javelin with a throw of 165 feet. Capt. Phil Northrop of Michi-3 rs fought through the steady, rain nd stiff competition to places in the nals. McCaffree barely slipped in y tieing with Nelson of Iowa for ixth place. Ketz easily led the field, ith Shively next, and Campbell was urth. Buck Hester ran second in the fast- st heat of both the 100 and 220 yard ashes, 1 o s i n g to Hermanson of 'orthwestern when the Pui ple sprint tar nipped him at the tape in 9.8 for he century and Rea of Minnesota led mm by a few inches in the furlong. ta ran a great race, and wits Hester, istanced the field until it was merely two man race. The time was .21.7. mith and Everingham breezed along o tie for first in .22 in the second heat. asser was fourth in this heat. Kriss on the third heat from Hermanson ut neither man was forced, Everingham was a winner in the 100 ard dash as well, beating O'Shields f Minnesota in the second heat. Las- er was fifth. Kriss defeated Herman- on in the third heat. Times in the half mile were excel- ent ,in view of the rain which after etting up during some of the events as back with a vengeance. Lomont nerely ran to place in the third heat f 1.58.5 which was won by Sittig of Ilinois. The Illini man was running asily. Gtt surprised 'tio take the econd heat with Tooley of Ohio sec- md.
