Powerful Michigan Track Team Prepares For Big
Ten Meet
Ward Spark In
Overwhelming
Win Over Ohio
Every Man's Performance
Surpasses Expectations,
Coach Hoyt Declares
With the spirit and morale appro-
priate to a team which is now accepted
as the most powerful indoor team ever
developed here, the Wolverine track-
men resumed practice yesterday in
preparation for their defense of the
Big Ten indoor title in the meet to
be held Saturday in Chicago.
Considered to be potentially great
before meeting Ohio State in a dual
meet Saturday, no doubts were left
on that score as a result of the over-
whelming victory over a Buckeye team
which was defeated after the first two
events: the mile in which Michigan
scored a slam, and the 60-yard dash
in which Willis Ward tied the world's
record in defeating the fleet Jesse
Owens.
Ward's Victory Impetus
Ward's dash victory not only set off
the spark which sent the whole team
to more than expected heights, but
appeared to give him the spark to
send himself on to a new record in
the 65-yard high hurdles and a second
by less than six inches behind Owens
in the low hurdles.
Returned to the form which has
made him one of the greatest stars
in the country, Ward, will lead the
Wolverines in the Conference meet,
and will enter the high jump for the
first time in Conference competition
of the season, as well as the other
three events, Coach Charlie Hoyt an-
nounced yesterday.
Although Ward's performances,
probably the most astonishing and
most brilliant ever turned in in the
Field House, completely eclipsed all
other showings, every man on the
squad turned in performances which
were equal to or better than the best
expected of him, Hoyt pointed out
after the meet.
Birleson Breaks Mark
Stan Birleson, the sophomore quar-
ter-miler, lived up to all promises
made for him as he broke the Field
House record in the quarter mile, and
Harvey Patton, running second, was
credited with tieing thet old mark.
In the pole vault Dave Hunn, vault-
ing to a new Varsity record, bested
the Buckeye star, John Wonsowitz,
at 13 feet, 6% inches, and will be out
to duplicate hisperformance in the
Conference meet.
In the high hurdles, running be-
hind Ward, Bob Osgood ran the great-
est race of his career as he was clocked
in second place with the unofficial
time of 8.3 seconds or better, a shade
off Ward's previous mark.
Swimmers End
Dual Schedule
Against Purple
Michigan's Varsity swimming team
with a 52-32 win over Ohio State as
its latest accomplishment, went
through a light practice session yes-
terday in preparation for the final
home meet of the season against;
Northwestern Friday night.
At the same time workmen began
putting up bleachers enough to raise
the seating capacity of 1,200 in ex-
pectation of the year's largest crowd.
Led by Captain Don -Horn, Na-
tional collegiate and intercollegiate
breast-stroke record-holder for 25-
yard pools, the Wildcats have slipped
this year from their usual position
as leading contender for Michigan's
Big Ten and National titles, but can
be counted upon to push the Wolver-
ines to record times.
Team After More Records
In addition to the regular events
of the meet, Coach Matt Mann is
planing to send a squad of men in-
cluding Jack Kasley, Co-captain Tay-
lor Drysdale, Bill Crittenden, Ed Van-
derVelde, Tex Robertson, and Franki
Barnard after the American records
in breast-stroke relay events, at dis-
tances ranging from 880 yards to
perhaps a mile.
At Columbus Saturday night the
Wolverines took six of the eight first
places with Barnard leading the scor-
ing with victories in the 220 and 440-
yard free-style events.
Co-captain Drysdale added to his
many accomplishments by setting a
new National intercollegiate record
for the 300-yard individual medley
swim with the time of 3:44.1, break-
ing the old mark of 3:47.5, held by
Walt Ashley of Rutgers.

Consent Is Given
Johnny Jewell, the Wolverine
hockey team's co-captain and goalie,
who was forced out of action four
weeks ago by an appendectomy, will
return to his position in front of the
Michigan net Thursday night against
St. Thomas, it was announced yes-
terday by Coach Eddie Lowrey.
If his physician consents, Jewell
will be allowed to play for a full
period. It is certain, however, that
he will be in uniform and will play
some portion of the last game on the
Michigan s c h e d u 1 e. Thursday's
game will be the last for Co-captain
Johnny Sherf, Red MacCollum, and
Walt Courtis, as well as for Jewell.
Michigan's overwhelming defeat of
Michigan Tech in two games here
this week-end, 3-0 and 7-1, left local
fans wondering how the Miners man-

help us in describing Saturday's'
track meet which 5,000 people, the
largest crowd to see an indoor track
meet in the Middle West, will attest
to as one of the biggest thrills of their
respective 'lives.
And I can only attest to their ob-
servations in our modest way, for
that 60-yard dash will always remain
as a historic event with us, not to
speak of the two hurdle events. In-

Big Ten Stand ings
A three-way tie is seen as a result
of Purdue's victory over Wisconsin
last night, 43 to 24. The Boilermakers,
by winning their last game, can pull

sensus yesterday was that the cur-
rent Wolverine track team is the
strongest in a history of strong teams,
and as one of the railbirds remark-
ed, "it will be an upset if Michigan
makes less than 40 points next Sat-
urday." Even conservative Charlie
Hoyt was able to call it without quali-
fications the greatest indoor team
he has ever coached.

Considerable speculation was going
around the Field House yesterday as
to the accuracy of the time at Iowa
City which credited Jimmie Owen
thet Hawkeye flash, whose home, inci-
dentally, is in Fenton, Mich., 40 miles
north of here, with 6.1 seconds in the
dash event.
NEITHER Charlie Hoyt nor Willis
Ward are evincing any great wor-
ries about the Hawkeye, however,

Hoyt adding that with "good gun-
firing the dash will be a real race."

Willis!
Speaking of gun-firing, Doc May's
starting in Saturday's meets has
drawn nothing but the highest praise,
and for one of the toughest jobs imag-
inable. The Doc has probably never
in his 27 .years of starting had a
tougher few moments than in the
dash when he had three of the most
brilliant sprinters in the world (I
mean it) to start, and he did get
them off perfectly in a race which
ended in world's record time.
I'll bet a milk shake you can't

Willie Ward's low hurdles perform-
