HURLING PROBLEM
Daniels, Veteran Infielder, Out
for Practice; Work Gets
Heavier.
With the first cut of the season
in which ten men felt the axe de-
scend on their heads now a matter
of history, Coach Ray Fisher is
settling down to some intensive
drills with his Varsity baseball can-
didates. About forty men are left
the greater percentage of whom
are contesting for battery assign-
ments.
Norm Daniels, veteran custodian
of the keystone sack, is the last of
the regulars to report for duty, and
is taking his place daily in the bat-
ting cage in an effort to regain his
hitting optics, which he apparently
lost at the end of last season. Dan-
iels has been wintering on the
basketball court and is in excell-
ent condition for the coining cam-
paign.

Lanky Two-Miler Breaks Field
House Record in Meet.
By Bill Meyers
A few weeks ago in the first tri-
angular indoor track meet of the
season spectaors were given a real
thrill as a lanky, determined-look-
ing youth stepped out in the van
of a field of two milera -nd jogged
into what appeared to ^ killing
pace, one that would tip' him up
before the completion of those 16
long laps. Yet, lap after lap was
chalked up as he slowly outdis-
tanced the entire field of runners,
but even that was not enough, for
before the last lap was reached that
same tall runner, looking as fresh
as ever, brought a loud cheer from
the stands as he completely lapped
his opponent and breezed across
the finish line without a falter. In
fact that last lap looked like the
finish of a 440 rather than a two-
mile, for there was plenty of re-
serve power and some surprising
speed in those churning legs.
Sets Mark.

Falcon Flash Gains
in Puck Scoring Race
MONTREAL, Mar. 17.-(AP)-Eddie
Goodfellow of Detroit has cut Howie
Morenz' lead to two points in the
National league hockey scoring
race, according to figures released
by the league and including games
of Sunday night.
Morenz, out for some time with
injuries, has scored 28 goals and
made 20 assists for a total of 48
points. Goodfellow's 46 points give
his second place by a four point
margin over Bill Cook of the New
York Rangers.
Ban Johnson, former American
League president, still lies in very
critical condition in the hospital
at St. Louis. Lately he has been
having an occasional fair night
that is encouraging.

Crossman, Reid Each Win Two
Races at Coliseum.
The Intramural department in-
augurated its first annual skating
tournament last evening in the
Coliseum, with the members of the
Varsity hockey team walking off
with the honors in every event.
Keith Crossman and Emmy Reid
won four of the five races between
them, each taking two. Tom Prouse
won his heat in the 220 and then
came through to lead the skaters
across the finish line in the finals
with a time of 25 seconds flat.
Crossman annexed first place hon-
ors in the 440 and the two-mile
race, winning the quarter-mile in
:55.2 and covering the longer grind
in 8 minutes and 36 seconds. Reid
had an easy time in taking both the
mile and the 880, with times of 4:03
and 1:52.
Times for all events were fairly
slow because of the fact that the
winners were never pushed, except
in the 220, leading the other con-

Although Fisher has so far

been amusing themselves w i
"pepper" drills. The Field Ho
facilities do not permit of much
tensive fielding practice, so the
tics which they are going throt
now are designed merely to con
tion them for the hard work wh
they will get when the squad is a

That man who stepped across
on- the finish line to break all existing
rry Michigan records was Joseph P.

ions verine track fans as Perry Austin.
ich That day he proved himself the
at- fastest distance runner that has
ign ever trod the cinder oval at this

een good many seconds off of the old
aw time.
Nho Then, just to prove that this per-
er's formance was not just a flash in
eed the pan, Perry came out in the Chi-
ems cago dual meet and put on a repeat
his showing just to keep up the good
the work and to make it all the better

oval. He did not better his new

of to force him out.

on Austin hails from Waukegan Lake,
the Ill., and is a senior in the literary
college. .He has been prominent in
ne- track circles for the past three
ld- years and while still a freshman he
ave could step out in the mile for a
t h 4:40 time. Last fall, Austin was
use the main cog in a winning cross I
in- ( country team and won every run
an- in which he was entered, but was
ugh unable to compete in the Confer-
di- ence meet owing to an illness. Des-
ich pite his success in athletics, Austin
ble can also maintain a high average
in scholastic undertakings and at
present is rating an A average.

for while running as a member of
the two-mile relay team at the
Illinois relays last Saturday he
turned in the amazing time of 1:56
for his half mile share, a perform-
ance of no mean nature.
It is thus, as Big Ten champion
and the greatest two miler that
Michigan has ever had, that Perry
Austin will close his final indoor
track season in the big dual classic
next Saturday night with Cornell.
He will be paired against Ranney,
Crosby, and Kellog of the Red and
White, three of the big Cornell
threats who enabled them to take
a victory over the Yale team last
week. Ranney only turned in a
time of 9:41.6 for that meet but
he is good for as low as 9:31 when
pushed to the limit.
