' Lost To 'y Be Problem Of Funds Again Is 1936 Worrying Olympic Committee T rimr University, College, School, Amateur Will Take Part High Stars Michigan's Varsity track team will open the 1936 season Feb. 18 in Yost Field House as the result of an an- nouncement yesterday that the Mich- igan A.A.U. third annual indoor relay carnival has been definitely sched- uled for that date in Ann Arbor. The entire Michigan squad, Big Ten champions indoors and outdoors, will appear in the meet, which in- cludes a program of individual and relay events for university, college, high school and amateur athletes. Announcement that the meet will again be held in Ann Arbor follows attempts to stage the event in a larger city as a consequence of financial dif- ficulties met for the last two years when the meet has been held here. The meet annually attracts more than 300 athletes from within and outside the state. No team cham- pionship is awarded.., After Glenn Cunningham Lloyd Olds, Michigan Normal coach and chairman of the meet, has announced that he will attempt to bring performers from outside the state for feature events, and that he will make every effort to bring Glenn Cunningham, America's foremost miler, here for an exhibition run. Efforts will also be made, he said, to bring the University of Pittsburgh mile relay team fora meeting with Michigan' steam, champions of the Big Ten and holders of the fastest time ever run east of the Rockies. The Wolverine team bested the Pitts- burgh team in one of the most thrill- ing races of the year in their only meeting, at the Butler Relays. Team Now Has Objective With the season's opener definitely set for Feb. 18, a Tuesday, Coach Hoyt's team will be given an objec- tive, although serious training has continued sincesearly December. Two time trials have been held since the squad's return from Christ- mas holidays, with middle distance runners and milers showing to best advantage. Times for yesterday's trials were not released by Coach Hoyt, although he announced "about" 52 seconds for the quarter, won by Stan Birleson a step ahead of Harvey Patton; "about" 2 minutes for the half mile, which was won by Howard Davidson; and "better than" 4:30 for the mile as sophomore Ray Fink scored another sensational win over Clayton Brels- ford, Conference champion in the event. Times Are 'Good' Hurdles, sprints and two-mile times were reported as "good" by Hoyt with Moreau Hunt, Sam Stoller, Walter Stone and Bill Staehle showing well. The entire squad is reported by Hoyt to be in good condition, Captain Frank Aikens, Bob Osgood and Davey Barnes have been behind the rest of the squad due to pulled muscles and a minor cold which have kept tem from serious training. Scheduling of the A.A.U. meet for a Tuesday, to avoid conflict with oth- er events, will give the Wolverines two meets in their first week of com- petition as a dual meet with Michi- gan State has already been scheduled for Feb. 21. The Indoor Schedule: Feb. 18-A.A.U. meet at Ann Arbor. Feb. 21--Michigan State at Ann Arbor. Feb. 29-Indiana at Ann Arbor. March 6-Ohio State at Ann Arbor. March 14-Conference meet at Chicago.

Muscular trouble in his legs has beset Hardin for the better part of a year, according to Bernie Moore, the L.S.U. coach. In a letter to the writer, Moore says: "Hardin's future is very much in doubt. He did not do well in the Sugar Bowl meet. In my opinion, he will have an awfully hard time ever getting in shape again, due to muscular trouble. He had quite a bit of trouble last year. Hard Task Ahead "Even if he is able to make the Olympic team, it will take a long period of easy training to bring him around. I do not believe that any competition this winter will do him any good." Hardin has been described as the "perfect quarter-miler" by coaches. He is rangy and has one of the longr est strides ever measured. In the 1932 Olympics he was runnerup to Bob Tisdall, of Ireland, in the final of the 400-meter hurdles, but was credited with a new Olympic record of 52 seconds fiat because of a quirk in the rules. sailed forAntwerp in i 92. Another obstacle in the way of rais- ing Olympic funds is that belief in some quarters that the United States shouldn't send a team to Berlin in view of Germany's anti-Semitic cam- paign.

Referee Bill Collins is waving Joe to his corner before beginning the kayo count cn Retzlaff. Retzlaff, contrary to the procedure of Louis' previous opponents, showed no fear of the Detroit sensation, but,/ perhaps because of this, he was one cf the easiest victims. After Retzlaff had landed two blows, Louis turned on him savagely and floored him with a barrage of shattering punches. It was Louis' 24th knockout in 27 professional fights.

While You Wait MOE SPORT SHOPS 711 North University 902 South State " M e Big Ten Boycott Threatens Swimmers By GEORGE J. ANDROS v ~~ "All right, fellows, let's choose up sides." Such may be the words of Coach Matt Mann two or three years from now every time he wants his swim- mers toehave a dual meet. A squib appearing in the sports column of one of Chicago's daily pa- pers has it that certain Big Ten swimming coaches are against meet- ing the Wolverine natators in dual meets. They are seriously considering placing a boycott on the present Na- tional Collegiate and Big Ten cham- pions. These dissenting Conference men- tors offer as an excuse that Michigan is too good for the rest of the teams. They say there is no sense in meet- ing a team year after year and hav- ing to be content with a string of third places. The excuses may sound perfectlyE logical to the casual observer, but it is very strongly rumored by those in the know that the real reason for these grumblings in the rival camps isI chagrin over the transfer to Mich- igan of two of the Big Ten's biggest stars last year, Baker Bryant of Ohio State and Ed Kirar of Wisconsin, both of whom are members of the present Wolverine first-year squad. But those saime coaches who are "griping" today seem to have for- gotten the now famous times inthe past when they were the principa] figures in actual "swiping" cases which were greatly off color in con- trast to the transfers of Kirar and Bryant which are strictly "open and above board." Bryant and Kirar both came to Ann Arbor of their own volition because they wanted to swim. They knew they had natural ability and desired to make the best of it.

Collins, Michigan State College wrestling coach, said today he will have to draft a lighter man to fill the gap in the 175-pound divi- sion of his wrestling team. Whoever gets the assignment will have to give away 10 pounds or more to his opponents, and Collins said he expected this would result in a num- ber of lost matches for his team. He added that State faces a hard sched- ule with "not a setup." The season opens Jan. 25 at Ann Arbor with University of Michigan.
