15, 1935 THE MICHIGAN DAILY IAGE IT 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. Lowers Dash Mark Johnny Jewell Will Return To Goal Thursday Will Play Period Against St. Thomas If Doctor's 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- ' ' F' STAR DUST By ART CARSTENS .

Even conservative Charlie Hoyt was able to call it without quali- fications the greatest indoor team he has ever coached. I'll bet a milk shake you can't win the high hurdles Saturday, Willis! 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, in the Conference meet this week, Hoyt adding that with "good gun- firing the dash will be a real race." I'll bet a milk shake you can't. win the low hurdles Saturday, 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 win the high jump Saturday, Willis!' Willie Ward's low hurdles perform- ance is one of the most astonishing on record.
