WIN NINE FIRST PLACES One of the most spectacular mile relay races ever witnessed in Yost field house brought the spectators to their feet last night as Letts of the University of Chicago over- came a slight lead held by Russell of Michigan to race to a dead heat when both men broke the tape simultaneously, setting a new field house record and climaxing a thrilling dual meet which set three new field house records. Michigan won the meet easily, 73 to 22, and took 9 first places to a lone win for' the Maroons with one dead heat.f As Russell took the baton from' Glading, he set out with a 4-yard lead over Letts, Big Ten half mile champ, but the Maroon star worked up from behind and with a mighty show of endurance raced down the stretch to a tie amid a roar of applause. The new record of 3 min. 26,2 lowered that set here in 1923 by the Harvard team at 3:27.1. Records Fall. Both Russell and Letts also set' new field house records in other events. The Michigan man's honors came in the 440 when he raced to a win in :50.9 lowering a record of :51.6 set by the Seymour boys last year. Letts' record win came in the mile run when both he and his teammate ran away from Wolfe, the Maize and Blue entrant, to lower Wolfe's own mark to 4:23.1. Letts has been beaten by only Chamberlain of Michigan State this season in the mile. Eddie Tolan came through again to beat Captain East of the Ma- roons in the dashes. Campbell placed second. The time was fair at :6.3. Michigan's trio of entries in the two mile completely blanked the Midway entries to take all three positions. Austin failed to lower his record of last week, but gave a fine performance. Howell and Hill placed second and third respec- tively. Egleston High Point Man. Egleston raced to a close win over Black of Chicago in the high hurdles and then took a third in the low ones to claim high point honors with 6 to his credit. Inci- dentally, Michigan lowered every dual meet record with the Maroons of last season except in the shot and high jump and ties in the hur- dle events. SU MARES EMPLOYEES OPEN SPORTS LEAGUE B. and G. Boys Start Activities at Intramural Building. Another important phase of ac- tivity has been added to the In- tramural Sports department with l the organization of the University Employees' league. This new group gives the workers of the University departments an opportunity here- tofore lacking to get together for recreational purposes. The B. and G. boys started their activities Friday night with two basketball games. The Chemistry Stores defeated the Hospital and Pharmacy team, 20-2. In the other contest, the Building and Grounds quintet held the Hospital Stores aggregation to a lone free throw, winning 13-1.4 SO AD 10TO flEPflI'' Pitching Staff Is Outstanding Weakness of 1931 Wolverine Nine; Veterans Back. , When the infielders and outfield- ers of Coach Ray Fisher's 1931 Var- sity baseball squad report for their first practice session of the season tomorrow, the problem of just where the Michigan team is going in the coming diamond campaign should be a little nearer solution' than it is at the present time. Up to the present only the pitch-', ers and catchers have been going through the daily paces at Yost Field House in an effort to whip their hurling arms into shape be- fore the appearance of the rest of' the squad. Within a few days the other players on the team will start their batting drills in the field house cages. Hurling Staff Weak. All along it has been acknowledg- ed that the pitching situation will offer Coach Fisher his biggest prob- lem of the coming campaign. If the Varsity mentor can find an- other capable hurler to pair off with Compton on the mound the team ought to get through its schedule in fairly good shape. This second twirler will probably be selected from7 either Siegle, McNeil, Presbry, Bartholomew, or McKay, all but the last named Sbeing right handers. It ehi iity has Dealt but igtlyI with the diamond team. iwit the result that only Foe1ger, a promis- g hurler who never has been !l g 9.ie for the team, is barred from playing this spring. Veterans Assured Placos. Roy Hudson, because of his abil- ity at the plate, has a firm hold on the first base position, while Art Superko and Norm Daniels are equally sure of their positions somewhere in the infield. Among the better infield candi- dates from the freshman team of last year are Manuel and Berger, both big boys that play a nice fielding game. Another infield pos- sibility is Eastman, who played some ball on the Varsity in 1929. Captain Jack Tompkins is a certain choice for one outfield position. Week's Matches WillI Entrants to Four P in Each Class. Eliminate MVen TlLR MET EA Boxing has taken a decided step forward as to the quality of the entrants in the All-Campus boxing tournament. The preliminaries wil be run off this week eliminating the entrants to four men in each weight. The semi-finals will be held Fri- day night, March 6 in the Intram- ural Sports building. Promoter Townsend is in charge of the ticket sale which begins tomorrow. The semi-finals will see the best group of Coach Let Philbin's pro- teges perform including severai champions of former years. One of the main attractions of the eve- ning will see Jack Starwas, Michi- gan light-heavyweight a m a t e u r champion, against a first class op- ponent. The drawings have not been made as yet so his opponent is one from the light-heavyweight group. H. Bauss won the light-heavy- weight championship of the cam- pus last year. He will try to defend his title against Starwas and other headliners of this group. Lee Os- borne is a newcomer in this weight but Philbin expects him to give a good account of himself in his first tournament. Paul Chittenden was runner-up to Bauss last year and is back again to give stiff opposi- tion to the other fighters in this group. By Friday night two of these stars will be eliminated. Recent workouts seem to favor Starwas and Bauss although Chittenden has improved a great deal since last year and Osborne is of un- known ability. THREE CONTESTS ON WEEK'S CARD Wolverines Have Good Chance to Place in Track Meet. (Continued From Page 6) strong enough to make the meet very interesting. Ohio State has lost to the Hoos- iers already and Chicago is not rated as good as the Wolverines by most experts. Iowa on the other hand, is a power to be reckoned with and has aspirations for col- iii:g the title this year. Purdue. (Northwestern, and Minnesota are not given much chance to finish at the top since their teams are weak tn several places, although they may be expected to come in for enough places to make the tith race close at the top. The remaining sport event on Michigan's calendar is the fencing meet with Northwestern scheduled here Saturday night. The Wolver- ines have already defeated Ohic State and Wisconsin, and they seer stronger than Chicago. This seems to rate the Maize and Blue squad near the top of the conference standings, and they will be trying hard to defeat the Wildents Pnn enter the conference meet next week wits, a lcuru t_ . dual pr TEA Red' Kress, Veteran Infielder for St. Louis, Will Again Fill His Position at Third Base td ~ 4z~ '- x___ r In addition to Kress, pictured above, the Browns have Mellilo, and3 two newcomers, Burns and Levey, as prospective material with which to build up an effective infield combination.

(Continued From Page 6) the opponent's goal, passed to Schlanderer who dribbled through the Minnesota's defense only to have his drive swept aside by Jones' brilliant stop. Another time Cross- man and Schlanderer found them- selves alone against only one op- ponent. They passed around him but Jones again saved a goal by bouncing Crossman's shot off his leg and out of danger. Reid scored early in the third. session. Minnesota then sent four men down the ice in a vain effort to tie the count. Schlanderer saved a goal during a heated scrimmage in front of Michigan's goal by hurl- ing his body in front of Conway's shot and pushing the puck aside. Tompkins was drawn out of the, play by Minnesota's clever maneuv- ering. SUMMARIESj C LASSIFIEU ADVERTISING NOTICE TIME WILL TELL No clothes last as long as those washed by us. MOt LAUNDRY 204 N.
