Haynie Chases

Higgins

To A. A. U. Individual

Freshman Star
Is Body Length
Behind Winner
Kiefer Sets New World's
Mark In Back-Stroke As
Drysdale Is Second
CHICAGO, April 2. --(AP) - Johnny
Higgins, breast-stroke specialist from
the Olneyville Boys' Club of Provi-
dence, R. I., added his bit to the rec-
ord-breaking performances in the Na-
tional A.A.U. Indoor championships
in the Lake Shore A.C. pool tonight
by swimming away with the 300-yard
individual medley in 3 minutes, 28.7
seconds. He built up a long lead in
the breast-stroke, the first style of
the event, but had to stand off a rous-
ing challenge by Tom Haynie, Univer-
sity of Michigan freshman swimming
unattached. Haynie gained steadily
in the back-stroke and free-style, but
lost by about a body length.
Higgins' time took nearly six sec-
onds off the meet record established
by Taylor Drydale, former Michigan
star, in 1934. Andy Clark of the
Detroit Yacht Club, was third, and
fourth went to Chalres Wilson, Uni-
versity of Chicago, who competed un-
attached.
Kiefer Well Ahead
Swimming by himself all the way,
Adolph Kiefer, sensational Chicago
high school boy, smashed all records
for the 150 yard backstroke, finishing
in the amazing time of 1 minute, 32.7
seconds.
The tall youngster, in a class by
himself in stroke and power and
aided by mastery of the somersault
turn at the ends of the pool, whip-
ped Taylor Drysdale, former Michi-
gan star and now of the Detroit Ath-
letic Club, by seven yards in his re-
markable performance in the Lake
Shore A. C. Pool, his home course.
His time was 4.2 seconds faster than
the recognized record of 1:36.9,
established by Al Vande Weghe of
Newark, N. J., at Honolulu, T. H.,
in 1934, and trimmed a sizeable piece
off his own mark of 1:35.6 which has
been submitted to the International
Amateur Swimming Federation for
Approval.
Sandy Sinkiewicz of the Detroit
A.C., was third, with Bill Beebe of
the Shawnee Country Club, Chicago,
fourth.
Fick Wins 100
The title was Kiefer's second in
succession indoors.
Petet Fick, husky from the New
York A.C., hurled himself through
the water in 51.7 seconds to success-
fully defend the 100-yard free-style
championship, after a spirited strug-
gle with a team mate, Walter Spence,
and Art Highland of the Lake Shore
Club. Spence outfinished Highland
by a narrow margin, and another
home club representative, Charles
Flachmann, landed fourth.
Although he made it two titles in
two years, Fick failed to match his
great performance of the semi-fi-
nal trials this afternoon when he
won his heat in 51 seconds even. The
afternoon mark was tops for com-
petitive free-style swimming and
equalled the accepted world record
set by Johnny Weissmuler in an ex-
hibition at Ann Arbor in 1927.
Johnny Schmieler, Michigan cap-
tain in 1933 and now of the Detroit
A.C., and John Macionis, Yale soph-
omore, were the remaining two final-
ists.
Ed Kirar and Baker Bryant, Mich-
igan freshmen competing unat-
tached, failed to qualify.

Seek Honors In National A.A.U. Swimming Meet

The HOT
STOVE
By BILL REED -- -
RAY ROBERTS, Michigan's versa-
tile athletic trainer, inventor, and
aviation enthusiast, has published a
pamphlet, "A Guide for Training in
Athletics." which contains the meat
of his many years of service as one
of the top-notch trainers, at West
Point and at Michigan.
"Training," according to the
pamphlet, "is to put the mind and
body under the influence of all
the agents which promote its
health and strength, or in other
words, doing everything possible
to build oneself and doing nothing
which does not aid in this build-
ing.
"An athlete is one whose desire
to excel in athletics has been
sufficient to induce the necessary
period of mental and physical
training, which is the only pos-
sible medium to higher and
greater degrees of physical skill.
The sincerity employed in train-
ing measures and controls the de-
gree of success."
"A champion," it continues, is a
man who fulfills all the moral obliga-
tions in training for the strengthen-
ing of his character. To be a cham-
pion means to be an idealist, perhaps
a dreamer; it means working and
fighting to put this dream into prac-
tice.
"A consistent champion never trav-
els upon the wings of luck. He ar-
rives at his goal through the one and
only medium of hours upon hours
of hard work and intelligent for-
bearance from harmful habits."
The pamphlet, according to Roberts,
is to be expanded into book form
in the future.
WE TAKE this opportunity to
correct a story in the Thurs-
day Daily citing All-Americans as
winners of the Independents track
meet. Winners of the meet were
the Wolverines, with 30 points to
the All-Americans 28, the win
putting that team in the lead for
the all-sports championship over
D.D.'s.
Edward Arnold Stone writes us to
tell of a few chuckles which were
missed by The Daily account: "In ob-
scure corners of the Field House many
competitors were seen surreptiously
exchanging street clothes for track
pants in high glee. Another chap
was running about with a huge rent
in his trousers, gained by an un-
fortunate contact with a splinter on
the high jump bar, his attempts to
cover' up being ridiculous."
Most talked about yesterday in Var-
sity track circles was the showing of
two competitors in the fraternity di-
vision of Wednesday's Intramural
meet. Elmer Gideon's time of :08.6
in the 65-yard high hurdles and Fred
Schwarze's time of :06.7 in the 60-
yard dash and his 19 feet, 10 inches
in the broad jump, stamped them as
Varsity material.
Gideon's time equals the best fresh-
man mark of the year in the event,
and was made without preliminary
training.
Both Gideon and Schwarze
however, have other athletic in-
terests. Gideon, a freshman, is
out for football and baseball and
Schwarze, a sophomore, although
he reported for Varsity track last
night, will probably make a bid
for a Varsity golf berth. He is a
former Detroit District junior golf
champion.

Shoes Make The
Man' And Lynam's
Will Make Stars
In track the only really important
Vlecc of equipment is the shoes and
ni that sport it can really be said
Iiat "the shoes make the man." In
fact Dr. Frank Lynam, team physi-
ci n. feels confident that a change
n the present track shoe would give
t.'e runners such an added advan-
t.ige that full a second might be cut
from the quarter mile record.
Dr. Lynam believes that the
straightening of the sole from the
arch to the toe on the inside of the
shoe would be the only necessary
change. The advantage of such a
change would be that the big toe
would not be cramped in any way
and the foot would be subject to less
fatigue than at present.
It is on the turn that this revision
would make the greatest difference.
When rounding a curve the big toe
of the left foot is turned in because
of the slant of the shoe. The result
i8 greater fatigue, faulty balance,
and a reduction in the drive that
the runner can get and, of course, a
reduction in speed.
The change that Dr. Lynam sug-
gests would prevent the toe from be-
ing turned in and therefore add to
the speed.
