Title For Second Time

MINNEAPOLIS, Minnesota, March
24-Michigan swimmers, breaking re-
cords on the way, paddled to a de-
cisive win and the championship in
the Western Conference swimming
meet finals staged at the Minneapolis
Athletic club pool tonight.
Michigan counted 53 points, a new
scoring mark, to gain its triumph.
Northwestern finished second with 29
points, nosing out Minnesota, which
finished third by gathering in 12
points in the last two events. The
Gophers made 25 points. Iowa and
Illinois followed the three leaders
with four points each and Chicago
trailed with a single point.
Seven records toppled during the
battle, five Big Ten marks and two
national intercollegiate. Of these,
Michigan accounted for five and
Northwestern two.
The first event saw Michigan's 160-
yard relay boys off to an early lead,
which they maintained even though
forced to splash to, a Conference record
of 1:15 1-2 to defeat the Minnesota
quartet.

The two-mile proved no exception to
the order for thrilling races. Monroe
and Jesson went bac5 to set the pace,
but dropped out at the end of the first
mile when the race apparently re-
solved itself into a four-man affair,
with Wuerfel vying against a trio of
Red men-Benson, Beaman and Lev-
ering. Levering took the lead from
Wuerfel at the mile post. Two laps
further found Levering, Wuerfel and
Benson leading, each eight yards from
the other.
Leviring was well ahead at the mile
and a half, but before another quar-
ter was run Benson and Wuerfel
matched strides and were almost be-
side Levering. At the start of the last
lep Ted took the lead and settled to
a sensational duel with Benson. The
great Ithaca veteran passed Wuerfel

yards, distancing Beaman. Ted never
ran a finer race.
Cooper and Carruthers lay low In
the preliminary heats of the 75-yard
high hurdles, allowing -Heasley and

time was as good as Carruthers' final.
A junior, Erickson, forced the vet-
eran Pat Prout into a tie for top
honors in the pole vault by clearing
the bar at 12 feet 6 inches, upsetting
Cornell dopesters who had figured the
elevated run-way to be too much of
a handicap for the Wolverines. Wil-
iams was third.
Vault Boosts Score
After the vault saw Michigan as-
sume a 36--33 lead, the half-mile
proved a gem for Coach Moakley'
man. Dulaf, with a remarkable fnal
spurt, overtook Lomont and another
Ithacan, Orthman, who were staging
a fine duel, and were out by feet.
Lomont just managed to hold second,
leaving the meet tied after eight events
had passed.
Don Cooper showed himself to be
a thoroughbred when he raced away
with the lowi hurdles, beating out Car-
ruthers of Cornell by a comfortable
margin. Young, another Red runner,
was third, ahead of Stafford Jones,
who qualified behind Carruthers in a
preliminary heat. Kinney was third,
back of Jones, in this same heat.
Cooper beat Young in the other pre-
liminary.
When Waldo of Michigan tied for
first in the high jump with Wickham
at 5 feet 10 inchs, and another Cor-
nell man, Keet was third above Felker,
the meet'went into a 45-45 tie with
the relay remaining to decide all dis-
putes.
