Trackmen Are
Driven Indoors
By Wind, Cold
Townsend Impressive In
Discus As Hoytmen Hold
Drill In Field House
A biting wind that defied the best
efforts of the sun to heat up Ferry
Field drove the Varsity track squad
indoors yesterday after only one after-
noon of outdoor work. Even the
javelin men limbered up inside and
Charley Hoyt contented himself by
working within the confines of the
Field House.
Hoyt devoted some time to baton
passing with several of his relay stars
and Sam Stoller and Bill Watson did
considerable work on starts out of
the blocks.
Johnny Townsend, coached by both
Hoyt and Doherty, was showing good
form with the discus as he heaved
the platter down the center of the
Field House.
Moreau Hunt practiced taking the
high hurdles and appeared to be in
good form yesterday and San White
tossed the javelin a few times. The
cold weather was particularly unwel-
come to Coach Hoyt who is anxious
to get the team conditioned to out-
door competition as soon as possible.
With only a week and a half left
before Spring Vacation and with the
Drake Relays scheduled for the 25
and 26 of April - the first week after
vacation - Hoyt is anxious to get in
as much work as possible; although
there has been as yet no definite an-
nouncement as to whether or not
Michigan would make the trip to
Des Moines.
The Wolverine track team will not
be split up in any event, Hoyt said.
Either the team will go to Penn or
to Iowa, but the two relay teams will
not go to Philadelphia and the rest
of the team to Des Moines as was
previously rumored.
Gridders Drill
In Preparation
For Scrimmage
Believing that the football squad
is not yet ready for a lengthy and
hard scrimmage, Coach Harry Kipke
is tentatively planning the first real
display of ability for Saturday after-
noon. The squad has not enough
plays on hand to produce a good
game and the added time is needed
to work out new ones. The scrim-
make was formerly planned for this
afternoon.
Daily tilts of only short duration
have beenheld at the conclusion of
each day's practice and these will
continue regularly.
Many of the veterans are not per-
forming up to par and with the large
number of freshmen on the field, all
but three or four positions may be
taken over by them. Bob Cooper and
Alex Loiko figure prominently for a
back field job, and Clarence' Vande-
water and George Marzoni may make
it hot at the guard posts.
Stress has been placed on the end
going down under punts and alsc
on blocking for the receiver of th
kick. Last season these parts of play
were very weak and the attempt is
being made to remedy them.
Training will be called to a halt a
week from today for the seventy o
more candidates out. Practice wil]
resume after spring vacation until
May 9 when a regulation game will
be held. Although no cuts in the
squad will be made yet the aspirants
will be segregated into smaller groups
to facilitate coaching.

Freshmen Field House records1
serve as a reflection of that fact as
they show four regular marks cred-
ited to the present class, one of them iJ
being a Field House record -for both
freshmen and Varsity, and numerous
other records at practice distances.,
Bill Watson, the successor to
Willis:Ward in more ways than I
in his outstanding ability, heads
the parade of freshmen with a
new Field House record for all
competition in the shot put. With '
little polish but an amazing whip'
in his arm, Watson has sent the
16-pound shot 48 feet, 11 inches,
a foot and a half beyond the
former Field House record by
Weaver of Chicago, which hadj
stood for many years. His throw
also supplanted Jake Townsend's
freshman record of 44 feet.
But Watson's efforts are not con-
fined to the shot as he has also added
a freshman record in the broad jump,
jumping 23 feet, 1 1/2 inches to better
the mark which he and Alan Smith
established this year at 22 feet, 111/
inches, and the 1933 mark of Clark
Schell, 22 feet, 6 inches. Watson has
also jumped consistently over six
feet in the high jump.
Alan Smith, from Paw Paw, has
proved his versatility and reliability
by winning points in the broad jump,j
sprints and hurdles, and ended the
season with an attempt on the 440-
yard mark which fell short at 51.9.
Roy Heath, from Salina, Kans.,j
has already given promise of be-
ing an outstanding sprinter at
every distance through the quar-
ter-mile, clinching that opinion
last week by running the fastest
220 yards ever run in the Field
House, in 23.4 seconds. That
mark for the furlong, a practice
distance indoors, had been
equalled in 1930 by George Hitt,
who never ran in Varsity com-
petition. Heath has also broken
Fred Stiles' and Stan Birleson's
330-yard practice mark of :37.2
by three-tenths of a second.
Two of the freshman records which1
have been set have been in the re-
lays, with Heath running on both.
In the one-mile relay a team of
Faulkner, Davidson, Rosenberg and
Heath set a new mark of 3:29.1 to

Fisher's Hopes
Rise As Team
Improves Play
Fishman Pitches Regulars
To Fourth Successive
Win Over Yannigans
With his entire Varsity nine show-
ing marked improvement over their
play of a week ago when practice was
held outside for the first time, Coach
Ray Fisher's hopes for a winning
ball club this spring are definitely on
the rise.
Yesterday Herm Fishman, sopho-
more hurler, stood out in the drill by
virtue of his six inning mound per-
formance. In that time Fishman al-
lowed the Yannigans but one run,
while the Regulars were collecting
enough to chalk up their fourth suc-
cessive win over the reserves.
Fisher this year has a corps of
pitchers that in quantity tops all of
recent years. The quality will re-
main unknown until the men are
see under fire. Capt. Larson is al-
ready in shape to work a full game,
I and besides this veteran right hander,
Fisher may have a dependable quar-
tet of southpaws to send at the op-
position this year.
Gee. Fishman, Settle and Herndon
are the southpaws who may get plenty
of work during the stiff 28-game
schedule that opens at Ohio Wes-
leyan April 10. All have performed
ably in practice games held during
the last few days.
Playing conditions yesterday were
extremely unfavorable, wintry blasts
sweeping across Ferry Field almost
at the rate of a gale. Monday, when
conditions were better, the squad per-
formed brilliantly both in the field
and at the plate. Another game is
scheduled for today. Les Brauser, re-
serve catcher, suffered a sprained
ankle during yesterday's tilt.
Kappa Sigma Annexes
Fraternity Bowling Title
Kappa Sigma annexed the annual
interfraternity bowling championship
when they defeated Beta Theta Pi
at the Union Opera House last night.
In doing so they set a new all-time
record, 2491. Members of the win-
ning quintet were Jack Stein, Mack
Earle, John Russell, Eddie Wolfe and
Bob Eckelberger. Beta Theta Pi
was represented by Frederick Talcott,
Thomas Oyler, John McDonald, John
Seeley and George Huntzinger.
The event was sponsored by the
Intramural Sports Department in co-
operation with the Union bowling
alleys.
