PRESS BOX
By John Thomas
Paddock's 'Foot Spring'
IMELIGHT-search-
ng Charlie Pad-
lock, one-time star
.printer, has turned
,ports writer. In one
of his recent articles
he wrote upon the
new styles in run-
rung, particularly on
something that he,
calls "foot spring."
As Paddock de-
scribed it, this new style is a short,;
jarring, pushing step that gets a man;
over the ground exceedingly fast if
his ankles and insteps are able to
sustain the punishment to which they
are subjected.
He attributes its first use in Amer-
ica in recent years to Gene Venzke
whose 4:10 mile last year appears;
to be one of the unsolved mysteries
of sportdom. The step seems to be
natural with Venzke, according to
Paddock.
The newest disciple of the "foot
spring" is Bullet Bob Kiesel, Cali-,
fornia sprinter who was supposed to1
go great guns this spring until an
injury put him out of competition for
a year at least.
Kiesel is built like Whitey Wistert
or Willis Ward and can take the pun-
ishment that the new style so gen-
erously affords-according to Pad-
dock.
When trying to find out about this
from Charley Hoyt the other day, he
said, "W-a-ll, I don't take much stock
in this stuff of Paddock's. Yes, I read
that article too. You know there are
two styles of running-always have
been. There is the long, swinging
rhythmic stride that most runners
use, and then there is a short bounc-
ing step that a few used. It seems
to me that Paddock's, high-falutin'
foot spring' is nothin' more than this
short bouncing step. But don't be-
lieve me, go over and ask Steve Far-
rell about 'foot spring'; because' he;
knows more about running and run-
ners than any man alive."
As soon as we could pull Steve
away from George Moe, we asked
him. He didn't see it at all.
"You know Paddock just wrote a
book, and I suppose he had to have
some nice shiny, new ideas to make
his book sell. Really there is nothing
new in sprinting.
"Paddock himself used to be a pe-
culiar runner, you know. He always
jumped at the tape when finishing a
race. Our own DeHart Hubbard
pointed out something funny about
that. He showed that Paddock only
jumped at the tape when he had a
good lead at the finish. But when
he was behind he never jumped."
Jumping at the tape was spectac-
ular and Paddock has always wanted
the limelight. Why didn't he jump
when behind? Well both Hoyt and,
Farrell pointed out that it really took
more time to do that.
And so neither Hoyt nor Farrell are
considering changing Ward's style to
match Paddock's new idea.
Varsity Track'
Team To Meet
O.S.U. Saturday
Keller Will Run Hurdles;
visitors Will Be Strong
In Field Events
Resting up from the meet with
Michigan State Normal, the Mich-
igan track team yesterday went
through an easy practice in prepara-
tion for the dual meet with Ohio
State here Saturday.
Although the Wolverines did not
reach peak form against the Hurons,
several times in running events were
satisfactory considering the slow
track and competition. Howell and
Hill turned in good times in the
mile and two mile, the former do-
ing his event in 4:24.7 and the lat-
ter in 9:47.7.
The Buckeyes promise to make the
meet interesting. Last year, they
were the underdogs for the meet, but
managed to trounce Michigan by 12
points. This year, they are just as
strong in. both the track and field
events. Jack Xeller, the world's
leading hurdle attraction, is still in
school and is the favorite to win the
120-yard high hurdles from Hawley
Egleston and Boyd Pantlind, two of
Michigan's best. Teitlebaum; may
take the quarter-mile run from Mich-
igan's stars, Captain DeBaker, Allen,
and Ellerby, judging from some of
the times he has done this season.
In the field events, Ohio State
will have the edge. Wonsowitz is the
best bet to take first in the pole
vault for the visitors as he had al-
ready done 13 feet, 6 inches in com-
petition. H. Smith, another of the
Buckeyes' threats, will be in the jav-
elin throw and ought to take that
event by virtue of his 185 foot throw
last year.
Freshmen Will Run
AgainstBuckeyes
Climaxing a week of intensive
practice and preliminary trials Mich-
igan's freshman track squad is set
and ready to meet the Ohio State
yearlings tomorrow even though it
be by long distance. Both teams will
run offf the final events on their re-
spective fields and the results will
be telegraphed immediately after the
finish.
Etchells, Blake, Silverman, Alexan-
der, and Viergiver, all of whom do
over 110 feet, will throw the discus,
while Adams, E. Stone, Bird, and Bo-
litho who do 140 feet or better in
tossing the javelin will compete.
All-Carnpus Net Tourney
Begins On Busy Courts
With the Intramural courts occu-
pied by fraternity and independent
tournament play, Varsity practice,
and ordinary usage, offidials of the
Intramural sports department began
worrying today as the first round of
the All-Campus tennis competition,
involving over 90 matches to be
played within the next three weeks,
got under way.

Gridders Divide
In Rival Camps
For Final Game
Squads Chosen For Match,
In Stadium Saturday;
Blues Have Power
Two rival gridiron squads worked:
out yesterday afternoon on South
Ferry Field running through plays
and kicking practice under thel
watchful eyes of two coaching staffs. .
These were the Yellows and the
Blues of Michigan's football outfit,
divided into two rival camps for the
game Saturday which will mark the
finish of this year's spring work-
outs.
The contest will be held in the
Stadium at 4 p. m., under the direc-
tion of Coach Harry Kipke and the
coaching staff. Yesterday's work-
out found the Yellows working in the
Field House under the direction of
Coach Cappon, while Coaches Blott
and Keen put the Blues through
their paces out of doors.
Most of the power is definitely on
the Blue squad. Everhardus, Fay,
Tessmer, Kowalik, Westover, Fuog,
Savage and Austin are some of the
veterans among the group which
also contains such yearlings as Re-
mias and Triplehorn. Everhardus and
Tessmer will probably share the
punting and passing duties.
On the Yellow team are Bolis,
Beard, Dauksza, Ponto, Shaw, James,
Pomeroy, Soodik, Singer as some of
the more outstanding men.
Netters, Golf
Team To Have
Busy Week-End
The Michigan tennis team will be1
without the services of its captain,
Dick Snell, when it engages Chi-
cago and Northwestern away from
home Friday and Saturday. Coach
John Johnstone plans to take Sey-
mour Siegel, his sophomore whirl-,
wind, Charles Nisen, Clinton San-]
dusky, Ralph Baldwin and Joe Ap-
pelt on the trip. Ohio State will be
the attraction here next week.
GOLFERS TO PLAY DAYTON
Wolverine golfers, second rating
collegiate team in the country last
season, will meet Dayton University
here Friday and next Monday willl
meet Michigan Normal at Ypsilanti.
Both meets will serve as added prac-
tice for that with Ohio State on
May 13 in which the team will try
to even matters with the Buckeyes,
for the 15 1-2 to 2 1-2 drubbing taken
last year. Indications are that the
three lettermen, Capt. Jolly, FischerI
and Dayton along with either Mark-
ham, David, Sweet or Seeley, will
make up the Michigan team in all"
of the three meets.

19 Thoroughbreds Ready For
Kentucky Derby On Saturday
S I -
LOUISVILLE, Ky., May 4.-With
Derby Day only 48 hours away W. R.
Crump's Ladysman today remained
the favorite to romp home ahead of
the field in America's racing classic,
the Kentucky Derby, set for Satur-
day afternoon at Churchill Downs.
Head Play, the hope of the west,
was firmly installed as second place
choice yesterday with a strong pos-
sibility that he would finish first
after he defeated a smart band of
derby eligibles in a mile race at the
Downs on Tuesday. Two of E. R.
Bradley's colts, Boilermaker and
Broker's Tip were favorites to fight
it out for. third place.
It is 'expected that 16 to 19 thor-
oughbreds will face the starter, be
lieing the:prediction made by Colonel
Matt Winn, major-domo of Churchill
Downs, that 25 or more horses would
start.
The probable field for the $50,000
classic includes Isaiah, Charley 0 and
At Top, who ran second, third and.
fourth to Head Play in Wednesday's
mile.
Charley O. is picked by experts as
another probable third, with approx-
imately the same odds as Mr. Khay-
yam and Good Advice of the Ca-
tawba stables.
Other likely entries are Zsarada,
Broker's Tip, Kerry Patch, Trace
Call, Inlander, Dark Winter, Silent
Shot, Fair Rochester, Spicson and,
Strideaway. Silent Shot and Fair:
Rochester are excellent mudders who
will be at their best if the track is
sloppy. If the oval is dry and fast'
they may be withdrawn.
