Varsity Cinder Team Will Try
to Avenge Defeat Handed
Them Last Year.
All the fire of 18 years of inter-
sectional rivalry will provide a fit-
ting finale to one of the most suc-
cessful indoor track seasons Mich-
igan has ever seen next Saturday
night when Coach Chuck Hoyt's
thinclads entertain the flashy Cor-
nell team in the annual dual meet
classic of the indoor track season
in Yost field house. The meet
promises to be in the nature of an
intersectional battle with the Wok..
verines the champs of the Big Ten
and the visiting Red and White
team representing the Eastern col-I
legiate group in which it rates a
third place.
Out For Revenge.
Saturday's .meet will be a spirit-
ed contest with the Maize and Blue
men doing their best to avenge a
stinging defeat of 63 to 32 which7
the Cornell team handed Coach
Steve Farrell's squad last year.
Since the first meeting of the two
teams back in 1902, Michigan has
taken over the major portion of
the honors with 11 wins to its cred-
it, however, while Cornell was an-
nexing the other six..
A number of individual battles
will feature the meet in several
events. The Red team is powerful
in the distance runs, the mile and
two mile with some talent in the
half. When Ranney and Crosby do
the two mile grind against Austin,1
Howell and Hill, there is going to
be excitement enough to make the1
d'ums; that is if there are any
drums, roll as the boys come down
the stretch. Austin has hung up a
mrnk around 9:31, but Ranney has
equaled this mark in the past andj
the future can only be worried a-
bout.
Martin Should Star.
The mile will also .cause a few
hoarse throats when the Big Red1
miler, Martin crosses the finish line,?
for he is good for a mark of 4:24 in
his event. He can also run the half1
if not too hard pressed in the first1
event. Wolfe will be Martin's best
Wolverine opponent in the eight-'
lap event and he can be counted
upon to do his best which is not
so bad either. Clark and Hart of
the Eastern aggregation will be op-.
posed to Egleston, Jackson, and
DeBaker in the hurdle events. Botht

440 STAR AND RELAY ANCHOR MAN
HAS MADE GOOD RECORD THIS YEAR

TANKMEN SMASH
SEVERAL MARKS

By Bill Myers
One of the outstanding track
men who will compete in the an-
nual Cornell classic next Saturday
night is Edwin Russell, '32E, winner
of the 1930 Conference champion-
ship in the 440-yard run and an-
chor man on the Big Ten champion
mile relay team.
Russell hails Irom Rochester, N.
Y., where he first hit the sport
page headlines as high school
champ in the 220 event. When he
came to Michigan he was turned
into a 440 man by Coaches Hoyt
and Farrell and it is in this event
that he has risen to his greatest
glory.
Besides holding the Conference
honors, he also has engraved his
name on the Yost field house rec-
ords with a new time for his event,
breaking his 1929 record of the Sey-
mour brothers at :51.6 to set a new
record of :50.9 in the dual meet
with the Chicago aggregation. Last
season, Russell took a fourth place
in the Conference indoor track
meet and then completed his de-
but in his sophomore year with a
second place in the outdoor cham-
pionship Big Ten meet.
The high honors in the sports
field is not all that Russell can
ICE CARNIVAL IS
SCHEDULED TODAY
Intramural Department to Tryl
New Line of Interest.
There will be an all-campus skat-
ing carnival tonight to be held at
the Coliseum at 7:30 p. m. All those
who wish to enter should register at
the Intramural building or at the
rink before six o'clock tonight.
This is the first time the Intram-
ural department has sponsored an
event of this kind and it is hoped
that there will be a large entry list
to warrant making it an annual
event on the campus.
Several of the Varsity hockey
team members along with those of
the freshman team have entered
and should provide close competi-
tion in the shorter events in par-
ticular. Five races are carded for
the evening: 220-yard dash, 440-
yard dash, half-mile, mile, and two-
mile. Any one person can enter
only two events. Winners and run-
ners-up will receive gold medals as
awards. These awards will make
it well worth the while of any man
to. enter and try his skill against
the field at the Coliseum tonight.

Win Regional Titles
University High School seems to
have caught the spirit of cham-
pionship from its parent, the Uni-
versity of Michigan, for they won
the regional basketball titles at
Ypsilanti Saturday, along with St.
Thomas also of Ann Arbor. Thist
gives these teams the right to com-
pete in the state tournament to be
held Thursday, Friday, and Satur-
day of this week.
Both U. High and St. Thom"s
will play their first round games in
the state competition at Ypsilanti
Thursday evening. If they win
Thursday, they will go to Lansing
for the semi-finals Friday evening.
Neither team had any trouble in
annexing the titles in their respec-E
tive classes, for they ran up heavy
scores early in the games and held
their leads by defensive playing.

In the fourth event of the
cveniing, Schmieler again step-
ped into the limelight by clip-
ping 1.6 seconds from the Con-
ference record in the 150-yard
backstroke which was formerly
held by Dick Spindle, former
Wolverine captain. This record
was doomed to stand for only
a brief space of time, for in the
next heat, the Big Ten cham-
pion backstrocker, Marsh, of
Minnesota, cut it down another
1.2 seconds, making the time
1:34.4.
in the finals Saturday, Schmieler
saved himself in the breast stroke
to make a determined effort to
beat out his Gopher opponent in
the back stroke event, but the
Minnesota flash was in perfect
form and again lowered the record,
this time to 1:43 flat.

Peaceful Termination Appears
Probable When Two Groups
Go Into, Conference.
Although the dispute between the
Western Conference and the North
Central Association has apparently
come to a standstill, indications are
that the matter will be amicably
settled when the two groups come
together for their next discussion
on the question.
iere's The Dispute.
Briefly the situation is this. The
North Central Association of Col-
leges and Secondary Schools, em-
bracing over 300 colleges and uni--
versities and over 2,000 secondary
schools located north of the Ohio
River from West Virginia to the
states bordering the rocky moun-
tains, was formed over 30 years
ago, largely through the efforts of
the Big Ten universities. The pur-
pose of the Association was to raise
all of the scholastic requirements
of these schools to a certain level
so that the credits earned in one
school could be recognized when
a student transfered to another.
Never was the Association sup-
posed to be a body to aid in the
administration of athletics of the
schools over which it had control,
and since its inception 30 years ago
it has kept its hands out of this
part of the administration.
Iu is the custom for a commit-
tee from the North Central Associa-
tion to go around to each of the
schools in the body at least once
every three years, and inquire into
the running of each school's schol-
astic program. A third of the
schools are covered each season, so
that in three years a complete sur-
vey has been made.
This year the committee's trips
took it to Northwestern University
