Wolfe, yearling distance runner, led the assault against the old marks, cracking. both the mile and two mile marks. The other two records to fall were in the pole vault where Allen vaulted 12 feet 3 inches to sur- pass Prout's mark of 11 feet 9 inches made in 1924. Campbell! also equalled the 60-yard dash time of :06.5 made last year by Tolan and Cooke. Gophers Take Hurdles Superiority in the distance runs enabled the Wolverine yearlings to down the Gopher freshmen in the first meet of the year. Coach Hoyt's team captured six firs places to pile up their point total and shared another when a triple tie was created in the 60-yard sprint. Slams were chalked up in the high jump and the half mile. The Minnesota squad was strong in the hurdle events, turning in a slam in both the high and low races as well as making another in the broad jump. The Gophers took1 but four first places. Campbell saved the Wolverines from being shut out in the dash by equally the 1928 freshmen rec- ord of .:06.5. This time was also marked up by two Gopher sprint- ers, J. Hass and Thompson, the three men thus sharing first place. Minnesota increased its lead with a slam in the two hurdle events,, Larogue taking the highs with a time of :08.8 and J. Hass captur- ing the lows with :07.7. Wolfe Breaks Marks Michigan's freshmen gained back some lost ground in the 440-yard run by taking both first and sec- ond, Kiminsky finishing first with a time of :54 seconds with Chase following him across the line.

U aOF M O RS LOSE IN AMATEUR TOURNEY Three members of Coach "Let" Philbin's boxing squad, Virgil Heim, George Ryerson, and Sam Beer, en- tered the Eastern State Amateur Boxing Tournament held in De- troit, February 21, 22, 23. Ryerson in the middleweight division, lost to his first antagonist. Heim, in the 135 lb. class, won his initial contest, but in the second fight dropped the decision to Ross Col- ton, lightweight champion of De- troit. Beer, a welterweight, also reached the semi-finals where he lost to "Red" Abbott of the De- troit Y. M. C.: A. The finals of this tourney will be held at the Olympia in Detroit, February 28, to decide the winners and runners-up who will go to I Grand Rapids to fight the repre- entatives of West Michigan. Due to the good showing of Heim and ,Beer it is probable that they will be sent to Grand Rapids despite their defeats. ' season.+ At Lansing the team showed con- siderable improvement over previ- ous performances against Big Ten opponents and had little trouble in almost .doubling the score be- fore the end of the match. The foils men upheld the major share of the Michigan honors accounting for eight of the eleven points scored. Captain Lazar and Stolpman' were high point men in the Michi-' gan State meet, each man win- ning all three of his foils events. Coach Johnstone used a new man in the foils for this first meet run-. ning in Friedman as the third con-' tender. The sophomore fenced in good style and dropped but one of his three bouts. Gordon and Hammer fenced in; the sabre events for Michigan win- ning only one match and losing three. In the epee Wiggers and Dossett each won one match and lost one. Dossett was fencing in this meet as a Varsity man for the first time and equalled the effortsa of the veteran Wiggers. BOWLING TEAM ENTERED IN BIG TEN COMPETITION Thursday evening, February 28, at the Michigan Union, Michigan's Bowling Team will take part in a contest in which seven teams rep- resenting Western Conference schools will compete. After each team has completed bowling the scores will be telegraphed to Ohio State University, Columbus, Ohio. Results of the contest 'will then be telegraphed to the competing schopls. Five men will represent Michigan1 with L. Overton, R. Hecker, and D.l Keller forming the nucleus of the team. Last year this meet was held for the first time and proved very suc- cessful. It was won by Wisconsin. I with Northwestern taking second place. Michigan placed fifth.. With the season nearly over, the race for the Big Ten wrestling championship has resolved itself into a three-cornered duel between Michigan, Indiana, and Illinois. At present Michigan is leading the eastern division with three victories and no defeats, but Coach Keen's squad must defeat Indiana this Saturday to clinch the division title. Illinois Team Strang The strong Ilhni team, champ- ions for the last two years, have only to defeat Chicago in the west- ern division this week in order to enter the final match for the title. The Indians have won all three of their meets to date. As a result of last week's meets, Illinois demonstrated its superior- ity over Iowa by defeating the Hawkeyes, 17-9. Northwestern fur- nished an upset, however, when the Wildcast tied the Hoosier matmen 16-16. Overconfidence undoubtedly had its effect upon the Indiana team, as Northwestern was not re- garded as a serious contender. Hoosiers Coming Fast The tie with Northwestern will not hinder Indiana from an oppor- tunity of annexing the eastern di- visional title, as the winner of the Indiana-Michigan match will meet the western champion, probably Illinois, for the Big Ten title. The Hoosiers have a strong outfit,.hav- ing defeated Nebraska 15-11, _Ohio State, 22-28, and Purdue, , 17-11. Iowa State downed the crimson in a non-Conference meet, 15-11. North, Connor, and Brannon, Indiana's representatives in the 115, 125, aid 135 pound divisions, all lost to their Northwestern ad- versaries. However the Wildcats are considered particularly strong in these weights. Weaver at 145 and Ross at 155 pounds are considered 1two of the mainstays of the Crim- Ison team. . Scott Is 165 Pound Star An Olympic team alternate, Scott, wrestles for Indiana in the 165 pound class. He lost his only matey of the year to Hooker of Purdue.

Besides meeting the Wolverines, the Quak- ers will play both Indiana and Ohio State, in addition to meeting Notre Dame and Georgia Tech in o t h e r .inter-sectional games. Georgia Tech, present leader in the Southern Intercollegiate associa- tion, will close the season of the Pennsylvanians None of these games will be played on the road,1 all being scheduled at the Palestra, the homq quarters of the Pennsyl- vania team. of the Eastern Intercollegiate I Basketball League when they came from behind, in a dramatic. second half rally, to defeat Cornell, 26 to 25, at Philadelphia Saturday night. It was Penn's seventh straight league win. Dartmouth is the only team with a chance to share the top with the Quakers, having a record of four wins and threet losses. In order to tie with Penn, they will have to win their three remainig games while the Quak- ers are losing three in a row. The Dartmouth quintet also came from behind Saturday to de- feat the up and doing Columbia1 team, 29 to 25. Yale has won four' and lost four to date, while Cornell' has sunk, after a good start, to aI tie with Columbia for fourth place,, with two wins and four losses. Princeton is ift last place with one victory- out of six starts. tain to compete are Lemak, ofI Highland Park, who smashed the former breast stroke record with a mark of 1:13.6 in the 100 yard race last year, Kowicki, another Polar Bear, who won the 220 yard free style last! year, and Ballard ofj Detroit Northern.1 One change will be made in the events this year, the medley relay, formerly a four man event, being run off as in college meets, with 100 being done in the back stroke, breast stroke, and free style in turn. This will give HighlandI Park's medley team, which tied the national interscholastic mark of 2:32 last year, a chance to show its worth against college times. The other events on the program are: 200 yard relay, 100 yard free style, back stroke and breast stroke, 50 yard free style, and 200 yard free style. 1 1 «11t111ltlll ll ll t lllllllfli i 111111 11,r " _ FURS AND FUR COATS w Made Up, Remodeled, Relined and Repaired Exclusive Workmanship E.
