MARCH 16, 1935 THE MICHIGAN DAILY Swimmers To Defend Conference Title At Champaign T onight Wolverines Are Highly Favored To Keep Crown Ohio State, Illinois, And Iowa Entertain Hopes Of Causing Upset CHAMPAIGN, Ill., March 15. - (Special) - The oft-repeated cry of "Beat Michigan" was resounding over the University of Illinois campus to- night as the members of the various Big Ten swimming teams rested be- fore the annual Conference cham- pionship meet. The Wolverines, cock-sure and stronger than ever, are overwhelming favorites to win their eighth title in nine years, but Illinois, Ohio State, and Iowa are all entertaining hopes of victory and have devised plans by which they expect to finish on top. Defending titles in single events will be Captain Chuck Flachmann of Illi- nois in the 50, 100, and 220-yard free- style, Co-Captain Taylor Drysdale in the back - stroke, and the Wolverine sprint and medley relay teams. is looked upon to win both the short- er events with ease, and should break Flachmann his own 50-yard record, but the 220- yard crown will undoubtedly pass into the hands of either Tex Robert- son of Frank Barnard of Michigan. Adolph Jacobsmeyer of Iowa is also a strong contender. Drysdale is also a favorite in the 150-yard event, but should be forced to break his own record of 1:41.6 to win from Charlie Salie of Ohio State, Dick Westerfield of Iowa, and his own teammate, Fred Cody.I The Wolverine medley relay trio of Jack Kasley, Drysdale and Ogden Dalrymple, present holder of the world record in the 300-yard event, should enable Michigan to keep one relay title, but Illinois is favored over Coach Matt Mann's sprint relay quar- tet One of the best exhibitions of the evening will see Der Johnston, Ben Grady, Frank Fehsenfeld, and Ned Diefendorf of Michigan battle with Bill Busby of Iowa and Earl Jansen, of Illinois. The dual meet records of all these men have been erratic, and the outcome of tomorrow night's final is a toss-up. Arm Injury Will Not Keep Javelin Star Out It was announced late yesterday that an arm injry to Edward Adam Stone, Varsity javelin thrower, was not serious and would not keep him from competition. Stone, who earned his letter last year on the basis of performances which were topped by a throw of over 183 feet at the Drake Re- lays, received a recurrence of an old arm injury last week which it was feared would keep him out for the season. Steve Hamas Goes Into C4 A LS -_.._ Hell Week Raises The Old Devil With Frosh Track Team Hell Week will have weakened the freshman track team considerably when they vie against the Illinois yearlings in a telegraphic meet to be run off atathe Yost Field House this afternoon according to Coach Ken Doherty. Several of the best men are in poor condition because of loss of sleep suf- fered during Hell Week, and John Townsend, star shot putter, may be kept from competing altogether due to this activity. Illinois has a strong squad this year, having defeated the Ohio State freshmen who hold a victory over the Wolverine thinclads. The Indians rate especially well in the middle distance events, with three men who have run the half mile in less than) two minutes. Bill Staehle has been improving all year and is expected to reach his peak for the season this afternoon and create new marks in the mile and two-mile runs.rSteve Vason may es- tablish a new record in the 440-yard dash, and Townsend, if he competes, is looked upon to set a new shot put mark. Jockey Wright Wins Five Out Of Six Races Eighteen-Year-Old Riding Sensation Reaches New High At Tropical Park TROPICAL PARK, Fla., March 16. - UP) -Jockey Wayne Wright, the eighteen-year-old riding sensation from Rexburg, Id., reached a new high here today when he rode, five winners in the six trips to the barrier. The quiet-mannered, blond young- ster who is under contract to J. E. Widener missed only with Lookabout, which was third in the second race. He started out in the very first race by scoring with De Valera, which paid $8.10 and after placing third with Lookabout came back to sweep the card from the fourth race on. Wright won the fourth race on Jadaan at $5 for $2, scored with Golden Way, a $6.10 shot in the fifth, and brought a long shot, Mintana, which paid $22.50, under the wire in the sixth. He closed the day with a triumph on Dancing Boy in the sev- enth race. Dancing Boy paid $7.50 to win. Wright, who led the rival leaders at Pimlico, Bowie, Tropical and Hialeal in successive meetings, now appears assured of making it five in a row in his remarkable conquests at the various tracks. He scored five triples at Hialeah Park and the public is now so confident of his exceptional ability that it bets his mounts re- gardless of form. Wright's triumphs made it a fa- vorite's day and he made it four fa- vorites in a row when he brought Mrs. W. T.

And, in addition, they are secure against fire. Keep your important papers, receipts, and jewels where you alone can control them. OVER the theater star's dressing table there is a magic circle of light that mercilessly reveals every flaw in make-up. The amount of light used is eloquent testi- mony to the need of plenty of light for a critical seeing task such as this. Your vanity table, too, requires a def- inite amount of light- just as there is a definite amount needed for reading, writing, sewing and other visual tasks. You can apply four simple rules to your home lighting that will assure good general quality of illu- mination throughout the house: (1) Use SHADES on all lamp bulbs to prevent GLARE. (2) Use shades with light-colored linings to get the most light. Wide shades, open at the top, are best. (3) Use correct-size lamp bulbs -"'WATTS". In table and floor lamps with 3 sockets, use 40 watts in each socket; two sockets, 60 watts; one socket, 100 watts. (4) Have at least one-tenth as much light in the rest of the room as you have on your book, newspaper, sewing, etc. .
