TEAM RECORD HONORED
For the first time in the history of
the sport at Michigan slx member
of the Varsity swimming tean have
been awarded major letters by !he
Board in Control of Athletics. Cap-
tain Bob Darlall, Bob Walker, rank
Walaitis, Al Seager, Garnet Ault, and
Torn Watson are the swimmers who
will receive the awards.
Heretofore only eniembers of the
football, baseball, basketbalJ, track,
and cross-country teams have receiv-
ed major awards. Tonnis, swimming
wrestling, golf, hockey, and fencing.
although promoted from the ranks of
minor snorts last year, have not been
placed on a major basis.
Granting of major letters to the
swimmers was nieade by the Board in
Control in recognition of their ae-
hievements in breaking several
world's relay records. In a meet at
Grand Rapids last, March the Wolver-
ines set new marks for the 400. 500,
and 600 yard relay in a short pool.
The 400 and 500 yard records were
recently superceded however, by the
great Illinois A. C. team in Chicago.
Relay Team Was Strong
As an added feature of the Iowa-
Michigan dual meet in March, Dar-
nall, Walker, Walaitis, Ault, and Sea-
ger broke the 400 and 500 yard rec-
ords for a long p6ol. These marks
have been applied for by Coach Mann.
The Michigan relay quartet was one
of the strongest in the country this
year. The Wolverines won the Big
Ten 160 yard title at Minneapolis and
also the national. collegiate 200 yard
championship at Philadelphia. In
dual meets the Wolverine quartet lost
only two races to collegiate teams;
Minnesota and Yale.
Eight Given 1iinor Award
Of the men receiving major letters,
Garnet Ault holds the Big Ten and
national intercolegiate records for th,
440 yard wim; having set the latter
mark of 5:01.8 at New Haven. Dar-
nall is the holder of the Conference
record in the century free style for
a short pool. He is the only one of
those awarded major letters who will,
be lost through graduation.
The other eight swimmers awarded
letters will receive the snaller var-
iety. They are Spindle, Hubbell, Wag-
ner, Thompson, Reif, Rosenberg, Bat-
ter, and Horn

(Special to' The Daily)
MADISON, Wis., May 1.-Prepara-
tions are in progress at the Univers-

to receive next month the orders of
football fans purchasing season bookS
for the fall football games.
The announcement .of a ten dollar
rate for the season's home contests
has been received with great enthus-
iasm by alum'ni. and friends of the
Badger grid team. The new season
book plan figures an average admis-
sion per game of $2.00 and gives the
holder an advantage in location.
George Lewis, business ' rfanagei

mism' is prompted because the Wis-,
cousin schedule next fall is the most
attractive in many years.

ILLINI TRACKMEN
WILL MEET IRISH
Illinois' track team, indoor Big Ten
champion's will meet Notre Dame, Sat-
urday at South Bend, in a dual meet.
W'hile Illinois looms as a probable
winner in the meet, having downed
the Irish at Urbana in an indoor meet,
76 to 19, several classic battles for
first places should result.
Hal White of Illinois and Abbott of
Notre Dame should furnish a great
race in the half mile. Indoors, Abbott
smashed the armory recordt to -beat
White. Since that race White has
been winning consistently and com-
pleted the 880 yards in 1 minute 55.8
seconds to win first in the Illini's
recent meet with the Southern Cali-
fornia Trojans.
REORDS TUMBLE UT
hivo World's Records BrokenmAnd
One Equaled N i Iiie, Penn,
And West Coast Meets
BARNES SETS NEW MARK
Two world's records went by the
boards and another was equalled as
a result of last Saturday's track per-
formances when thousands of ath-
letes competed in the Drake, Penn,
and West 'Coast relay meets. Especial
significance was given to the iriou5.
individual winners as this is an 0-
lympic year, with a trip to Amster-
dam as a reward for the successful
contestants.
All the major record-breaking was
accomplished in the West Coast re-
lays, under sunny Californmia skies,
Lee Barnes, Southern California star,
set a new mark in the pole vault by
clearing the bar at 14 feet 1 3-4 in-
ches, eclipsing the standard of 14
feet 1'inch made by Sabin Carr of.
Yale indoors last March.
Wind Hinders Atheletes
John Kuck, representing the Los
Angeles A. C.. surpassed the former
record of Ralph Rose by heaving the
shot 51 feet 1-2 inch. Rose, a for-
in'er Michigan track star and Olym-
pic team member, set the record of
51 feet in 1909. Kuck competed for
Kansas State Teachers' college of
Emporia last year, being proficient
in both the shot put and javelin
throw.
Another world's record was equal-
led when Charlie Borah, Southern.
California star, stepped the 100
yard dash in :09.6 seconds. Paddock
has run the century in .:09.5 seconds,
but his mark has not been recognized
as yet.
A strong wind, which hindered the
conpetitors, may have been respon'.
sible for the lack of record-breaking
at the Drake relay carnival in Des
Moines, Ia. The only new mark was
made by another Kansan, Walter
White representing Kansas State Tea-
chers' college of Pittsburgh who put
the shot 48 feet 9 inches, breaking
Kuck's meet record.
Wet Track Prevents Records
Collapse of a grandstand while
Charlie Paddock was setting a new
world's record for 175 yards featured
the Penn relay carnival at °Phila-
delphia. In spite of adverse weath-
er conditions and the debris which
was hurled on the track, Paddock
covered the distance in :17.4 seconds,
paring 2-5 seconds from his former
mark.
