A Michigan victory in the relay would have given the meet to l the Wolverines. ,The relay was closely contested every inch of ithe way. Walaitis, the third Michigan swin-er, came in a yard ahead of Ilowland. Darnall and Iloise, the trival captains, battled the final two lengths, each striving to bring his team victory. The fin- ish was so close that it took several minutes for the .judges to decide the winner. Several members of the Yale team and many of the spectators thought that Michigan had won. When the final score was announced, however, the decision went to Yale, 39-23, giving Coach Kiphuth's feam the meet and the mythical national championship,.as the Wolverines pre- viously won the Big Ten and Na- tional Collegiate titles. Yale's string of 30 consecutive dual meet victories w a s kept intact- through the victory. The defeat of the Wolvelrines was also the first sustained by the Michigan tank team in a collegiate dual meet since Coach Matt Mann came to Ann Arbor in 1925. The Eli 'swimmers showed, unex- pected strength in winning so many events, taking every first except the 440, although each race was decided by a narrow m-argin. Ault's per- formance was the outstanding feature of the meet. versity. The Wisconsin team found it possible to work out of doors for one short practice session before their de- parture. However, Coach Lowman was pessimistic regarding his chances for winning many ball games on the Dixie trip. A serious blow was dealt the Badg- er nine yesterday when it was learned that Captain EarlI Burbidge, veteran right fielder, and "Lefty" Clausen, sitar of the hurling staff, had both been ruled ineligible for further competi- tion. Both Burbidge and Clausen were dropped from the squad for vio- lating the summer baseball rule. These two men were probably the best ball players on the Cardinal squad and it will be difficult to replace them. Clausen had been counted upon to pitch at least half of the conference games this year. Without lum Low- man must depend for the most part 'upon "Jake" Jacobsen, rangy right (hander, Ted Thelander, a speed ball pitcher, and Ray Ellerman, veteran from last season. Bill Momsen and Frank Haggerty, two recruits, have yet to be tested under fire. Both have looked rather impressive during the indoor training period. Without Burbidge the outfield is certain to include Art Mansfield, who played in the left garden last spring, and "Bo" Cuisiner and Maury Winer, two newcomers. Massey was sent; back to lis old po- sition, second base, during yesterday's practice. ; Lowman has deekded to break in a _new third sacker to team with Massey, Decker at short and Murphy at first, all three of whom were in the infield a year ago. Both Knechtges and Matthusen have worked at the hot corner this week and each wil have a chance to show during the southern trip. PRESE SON URIDDERS TO SCRIMAGE TODAY 1)rill On All Phases Of Kicking fhamne Yesterday; Backfield Men And Ends Workout TRY NEW RUNNING ATTACK After a light workout yesterday, Coach Wieman's spring football squad will close their pre-vacation practice this afternoon at Ferry field with their second scrimmage of the week. All phases of the kicking game were thoroughly gone through yesterday. The punters were given 'a strenuous drill, with the backs receiving the kicks and blocking off the ends who were coming down and covering the punts. The -present squad of about 35 vet- erans who were invited out early -is expected to be increased greatly im- mediately following spring recess when everyone will be asked to re- pert for general practice. The work- outs so far have been of a specialized nature than will. be possible with the larger squad, and have consisted largely of training for the ends and backfield men. Special effort has been given to developing quarterback material for next fall, and much promising ma- terial has been uncovered from the re- serve, Varsity, and freshman squads of last year. Passers and pass re- ceivers have also been put through an 1 extenkive drill. A new system of offense is being ex- * perimented with, which, it Is, hoped, will give more power to Michigan's straight offensive, which has been- neglected for development of her aerial attack in recent years. Most of the best passer's and catchers have been lodt to the team by graduation, and it is with the view -of developing r an offense based more on a running attack that Coach Wieman is trying out new formations and plays. It is expected that the new system will prove more deceptive than Michigan's- former starting formations. A t WADHAM'S & CO.'S NEW STORE 1 ti _ r ,I 1%.( r BUY vcr C tbc For Spring Vacation!
