Many Students Take Advantage
of Offer to Learn From
Coach Courtright.
Although the Intramural class in
golf instruction for' faculty mem-
bers still contains room for six .or
seven more, the student classes,
conducted under the direction of
Ray Courtright, are filled to over-
flowing and progressing smoothly.
Interest in golf on the campus
seems to be greater than ever be-
fore, reports Coach Courtright, and
the manner in which the beginning
students, numibering over 30, areI
taking held of the game is also
particularly gratifying to the coach.
In the classes only the funda-
mentals of the game are stressed,
and Courtright feels that if he can
impart these elements to the be-
ginning students, he will be well
rewarded.
which will continue through Fri-a
day, that will be run off this af-
ternoon. The Michigan events will
take place in Yost Field house. On'
the second day the 60-yard dash,
880, broad jump, and 35-pound
weight will be held. The 65-yard
high and low hurdles, 440, 2 mile
run, high jump, pole vault, andl
shot put will conclude the meet on
Friday.
Lost to 'adgers.
Illinois' freshman track team
went down to defeat in a telegra-
phic meet with the Wisconsin
yearlings previously this season by
a score of 50-45. The affair this
week according to the relative times
of the two squads should be an-
other close contest, although the
margin of victory for Michigan over
the Illini will probably be greater
than that for the Badgers.
In the trials held on Monday,
Younger, McRoy, Horton, and Le-
men were picked to compose the
mile relay team for the Wolves.1
Every member of this quartet is ani
outstanding runner in the 440-yard,
dash. McManus and Alix are the
best Michigan yearlings in the mile
run.
Renwick is the sLur performer in
the 60-yard dash, with Younger,
Horton, and Alix listed as the out-
standing runners in the half-mile.
In the two-mile run, McManus and
Dickson will be the Michigan en-
tries. Heston and Jusek are the best
in the hurdles.
Jumpers Favored.
Michigan's point total should re-
ceive a big boost in the high jump
as three of the men, Immel, Moisio,
and Trybyszewski, have been clear-
ing the bar at better than 5 feet
10 inches. Lassala and Myers have
shown the most proficiency of the
yearlings in the pole vault, while
Rea and Myers have made some
good performances in the broad
jump. In the weight events, the
most outstanding men are Salmon,
Blumenfeld, Funderburk, and Pat-

NATATORS AIM 108
Other Teams Concentrate Their
Attention on Stepping
Strong Wolverines.
With but one minor meet on the
schedule before the Big Ten cham-
pionships that will be held here
March 13 and 14, Coach Matt Mann
is pointing the Wolverine Varsity
swimmers toward a Conference
championship. Michigan is favored
to take the meet but the competi-
tion will be as keen as ever with
the eight Conference schools which
are entered in the championship
concentrating on defeating the
Wolverines.
Indiana Out.
With the exception of Indiana all
the Big Ten members will place
teams in the fray, and records will
fall as the swimmers go through
their paces. The Northwestern
natators, who won the title last
year are not rated as championship
material as a team, but there ,are
several individual stars who will
doubtless givethe Wolverine hopes
a severe scare before the titleholder
is decided.
In the championships last season,
the Purple, after placing one more
man in the finals than the Wolv-
erines were able to qualify, as well
as two relay teams to the Michigan
squad's one, came through to cop
the first honors in the Conference,
after having been triumphed over
by Coach Mann's proteges in their
dual meet.
Swamp Wildcats.
The Wolverines have defeated
the Purple this year also in a dual
meet by the overwhelming total of
53-22, but there is always the pos-
sibility that with an additional
seven teams entered in the meet,
the individual swimming stars may
be able to cut out enough of the
Wolverine places to considerably
alter the final score. Nevertheless,
Michigan should be able to evi-
dence enough superiority to over-
