'4 SATURDAY, MARCH 2, 1935 THE MICHIGAN DAILY Powerful Ohio State, Michigan Track, Teams Meet v Buckeyes Hold Victories Over Ilni,Indiana Proposed Merging Of Twoj Squads For West Coast Meet Adds Interest One of the strongest and best-bal- a need in a series of powerful Mich-a igan track teams will meet an Ohio State team which includes some of the most brilliant stars in the Western Conference, in a dual meet tonightj in Yost Field House. The meet takes on added interest with the announcement this week of pending arrangements to merge the two squads in June for a dual track1 meet with a combined squad from Southern California and Stanford, to be held at Los Angeles. Both Have Clean Slates Both teams have established fine records in.indoor competition for the season, the Buckeyes defeating In- diana, 61x/% to 42%/2, and Illinois, 68 to 38, while the Wolverines have de- feated Minnesota, 57 to 28, and won a triangular meet with 741/2 points while Michigan State was collecting 24% and Michigan Normal 22 1/3. Mich- igan will be out to duplicate its score of last year in winning the annual meet, 59 2/3 to 35 1/3. The Buckeyes will present an ar- ray of stars, however, whom observers have predicted will gather sufficient points to make the meet close. Jesse Owens, fleet Ohio State soph- omore, will be a favorite to win in the dash from Sam Stoller, Willis Ward, and Davey Barnes, of Michigan, and will be a slight favorite in the 65-yard low hurdles. Hunn Will Press Wonsowitz The Buckeyes will also be favored in the pole vault, with John Won- sowitz, who has been credited with a vault of over 13 feet, 6 inches, but Dave Hunn, the Wolverine junior, will force the Buckeye star. Hunn has vaulted 13 feet, 3 inches this winter, 3 inches better than Wonsowitz's best mark of the current season. With Willis Ward out of the high jump, Melvin Walker of Ohio State will be favored in that event. Walker registered 6 feet, 4 inches against Il- linois. The Buckeyes will also be fa- vored for a win in the shot put, pre- senting Neal and Schwartz, both of whom have done over 43 feet. Michigan will be strong in every flat race above the dash, and superior strength there combined with points in the other track and field events make the Wolverines favorites. In the 440-yard dash Stan Birleson, the Wolverine sophomore, will be sup- ported by Harvey Patton, and will meet Captain Cliff Smith, who has been sffering slightly from a wrenched tendon during the week, and Ed Gazdik. Ward Out For Record The Wolverines will also be favored in the half-mile, with Captain Harvey Smith, Howard Davidson and Clayton Brelsford out to score a slam over Captain Cliff Smith, Don Reilly and Moore, in the mile, with Brelsford and Smith, and in the two-mile, with Neree Alix, Walter Stone and Rod Howell, competing in his first meet this season. The meet will be the final indoor appearance at home of Captain Har- vey Smith and Willis Ward, two of the most brilliant stars in recent his- tory, and both have announced in- tentions to seek Field House records in their favorite events. Ward will attempt to crack his own 65-yard high hurdles mark of 8.2 sec- onds, while Smith will be after the half-mile record, now held by Abe Rosenkrantz, of Michigan Normal at 1:55.1.

It seems preposterous that he would quibble over being a stationaryI guard, instead of center. in fact, his play last year was the epitome of stationary-ness. That's probably why Randolph got the starting job. Another likely factor in Bernard's decision to stay at Ford's is the con-; tract he was offered with the Lions this year in comparison to that of a year! ago. Last year he was a hero, the center of the great line that gave Michigan a National Championship, himself a unanimous choice for All-American.' His was the biggest ovation given any Lion when they were individually presented to the fans for the first game. Now his.fame has faded a bit, although his resignation was big enough to make the front pages To the professional game's fans he is just another former All-American who didn't make good in the ham and eggs circuit. ANOTHER PROOF that fame is indeed fleeting: Dick Joslin who was regarded as the fair-haired boy (no pun intended) of the basketball' team in the early winter, and who is the only man to have played in every game thus far this season, wasn't considered even good enough to make the trip to Columbus with the team this week-end. And, believe me, that amounts almost to an insult! Some philanthropically inclined soda fountain could do big things for Michigan's track team by offering Willis Ward a milk shake for every new record he sets. In a special 70-yard high hurdles trial recently upon which a "shake" depended, Ward was .clocked in :08.7, two-tenths of a second over the existing world's record. I'll bet you a milk shake you can't break the Field House record in the 65-yard high hurdles tonight, Willis! Michigan's crack mermen are not expected to have a great deal of trouble subduing the Ohioans, but Coach Mike Peppe will offer star per- formers in the free-style sprints, backstroke, distances, and diving, who should garner a goodly number of points. Next to Iowa, whom the Wolverines defeated 55-29 last Saturday night, the Buckeyes will present the biggest obstacle in the path of Michigan's drive for another Big Ten title, which has become a perennial possession of Coach Matt Mann's proteges in the last few years. Ohio Cenceded Two Events In Conference meets to date this season, Ohio State has defeated Pur- due, while the Wolverines won easily from Indiana in addition to their win over the Hawkeyes. Co-Captain Bob Renner and Ogden Dalrymple, along with their unger- studies, Bob Mowerson, Dick Blake, and Ed Drew, will probably finish behind Baker Bryant, Buckeye soph- omore, in the 50- and 100-yard free- style events, but Tex Robertson and Frank Barnard should retaliate in the 220- and 440 with victories over Dex- ter Woodford, nationally-known dis- tance ace, who is swimming in his first year of college competition. 4 Purdue -Badger ( May Determin G~amre Monday Tonight's Gamesj Wisconsin at Chicago.

This is Field House Monday afternoon, the best record they have had in March 4. the last eleven years. last year, has reported to Coach Keen; and has been working out since the beginning of the week in order to be in shape for the meet today. If Neafus wrestles, he will displace Bill Lowell at the 175-pound position. Captain Jack Harrod also is expected, to return to action while Willard! Hildebrand will wrestle heavyweight. The 118-pound post will be filled by Ed Kellman who has come down from 126-pounds in order to wrestle at that weight. The Buckeyes under Coach Bernard (Spike) Mooney are bringing a strong team to Ann Arbor. Both the Wolver- ines and Ohio State have a chance to take second place in the Conference through a victory in today's meet. The return of Neafus bolsters Mich- igan's hopes immeasurably. The 175- pound spot has been vulnerable all season and Neafut is expected to pro- vide stronger competition. In the 126- pound division Seymour Rubin will start. Rubin, one of the three letter- men on the team, started the season as a 135-pounder, but when Capt. Harrow was injured, grappled at 145- pounds and has now reached his low- est weight of the season. If he cannot make the weight, Gard Slocum will start against the Buckeyes. Wally Heavenrich will attempt to complete a perfect season in the 135- pound class. He has won seven straight matches so far and is trying for the eighth today. Capt. Harrod or Louis Mascuruskus will wrestle at 145 pounds, and Frank Bissell at 155- pounds. Abe Levine is the Maize and Biue entry in the 165-pound class. Hockey Summaries Michigan Lineup Mich. Tech W. Chase ...... G.............Maki David .........RD..........

MEET BIG TEN FOES MOST Of the 19 baseball games to be played by Notre Dame this year 15 will be against Big Ten teams. The Intramural swimming meet is to be held March 26 at the Union pool. The events are to be the same as last year and will include breast- stroke, free style, side stroke, relay, and diving. ' Each sorority has been assigned certain practice hours. Each house should use its own time so that every entrant will have sufficient time to practice and to be timed. Miss Irene Field and Betty Howard, '36Ed., will be at the pool Tuesday and Thursday evenings to clock swimmers. Inde- pendents desirous of entering the meet should see Miss Marie Hart- wig or Betty Howard, '36Ed. An independent team will be organized. Strong competition is expected from Betsy Barbour, Collegiate Sor- osis, Chi Omega and Jordan. All houses should get their teams out. If practice times are unsatisfactory call Betty Howard. FOOTBALL IN JAPAN? A group of Pacific coast star foot- ball players will tour the Orient this winter. The trip is being sponsored by a Japanese newspaper syndicate which is trying to introduce football n Japan. Ohio State Fans Confident Of Easy Victory ver MichiganFive Tonight Ohio State fans are looking forward to a pleasant evening tonight when their strong Buckeye quintet will close an already-successful season against Michigan's downtrodden "basketeers" in the Buckeye Field House. The Columbus clan regards Mich- igan's cage team in the same light as- the 1934 football team -easy pick- ings - and there's nothing an Ohio State crowd likes more than a victory over the Wolverines. With a share of second place in the Conference standings as a reward for victory, Coach Harold Olsen's five will have an added incentive to close the season with a win. A 40-39 decision over Purdue heads Ohio's record of seven wins and four losses. Whitlinger, the Buckeyes star forward caged 22 points in the game. The scarlet quintet also holds two wins over Chicago, two from North- western and one each over Iowa and Michigan, while it has dropped single contests to Iowa and Purdue and two to Illinois. Curbing Whitlinger, fourth leading scorer in the Conference with 127 points, will be Michigan's biggest problem. Coach Cappon has designat- ed Matt Patanelli, his best guarding guard, to track the Scarlet flash, and upon the swarthy guard's success rests Michigan's slim hope of victory. Earl Thomas, center, Red Wilson, forward and Tippy Dye, guard, are all dangerous men with a basketball in their hands, each one\ being high among the scoring leaders in the Big Ten. Capt. Beitner completes the regular lineup. Wolverine supporters who saw the Ohio State game here will remember Dye as the speedy mite who broke away from Rudness for baskets twice in the overtime period to give his team a 33-30 triumph. Cappon's starting five will have Gee at center, Tamagno and Evans, for- wards, Rudness and Patanelli, guards, with Teitelbaum, Meyers, Solomon Oliver and Capt. Plummer getting in as substitutes.
