Seconds, Thirds, May Margin Of Victory Final Home Start Be In 1.- Michigan's national championship swimming team clashes with Iowa in the final home meet of the 1935-36 season at 7:30 p.m. today in the In- tramural pool - and therein lies a story. If the Wolverines are not the best college swimming team in the coun- try, the Hawkeyes are, and for the first time in three years Coach Matt Mann is refusing to make the predic- tion that Michigan will win. Mann Is Silent Usually it is a matter of trying to determine just how many points the opposition will get; today Coach Mann merely says: "it will be very interesting - the toughest meet we have had since we reached the top." With both teams boasting men vir- tually sure of first places, the final outcome of the meet will be deter- mined in the battles for seconds and thirds. Coach Mann is hoping his team can stay within three points of the invaders up to the final event, the 300-yard medley relay, and then come through with a first to take the meet. Jack Kasley in the 200-yard breast- stroke, Capt. Frank Fehsenfeld in the diving, Frank Barnard in the 220 and 440-yard free-style races and the medley trip of Harry Rieke, Kasley and Bob Mowerson are Michigan's outstanding hopes for first places, with Dave Walters in one or both of the sprint events constituting what might be called a "cinch" winner for the Hawkeyes. Relay Is Toss-Up The 400-yard sprint relay and the 150-yard back-stroke appear to be strictly toss-ups. The Iowa relay quartet of Walters, Jack Sieg, Bill Wehmeyer and Capt. Adolf Jacobs- mieyer has made better times this winter than has the Wolverines, but Coach Mann has his sprinters primed to a high for the season. If Ed Drew, Erwin McCarty and Dick Blake can give Mowerson a three-yard lead over anchor-man Walters, the husky junior can be depended upon to give the Varsity a good start toward win- ning the meet. In -the back-stroke Rieke, Michi- gan sophomore, is meeting Dick Westerfield, Hawkeye who broke Taylor Drysdale's National Intercol- legiate record for 20-yard pools last Saturday. While it appears on the surface that the Iowan is the out- standing favorite, the fast develop- menit of Coach Mann's new star coupled with Westerfield's unfamili- arity with the Intramural pool and a reported ankle injury that may or may not be a "bear" story, the race should be a close one all the way. Kasley In 440 Kasley in the 440 and diver Ben Grady in the 50-yard free-style are two more surprise entries who are hopes for much-needed second and third-place points. If Bill Crittenden or Ed Vander- - Velde can beat out Fred Haskins or Wehmeyer for second in the breast- stroke behind Kasley, the Wolver- ines' chances will be bolstered con- siderably; Capt. Fehsenfeld and Grady or Der Johnston must come through with first and second places in the diving over veteran Arn Chris- ten, and Barnard must win Admission for tonight's meet will be 25 cents with identification cards and 40 cents without. ARRY SMITH, the sensational Hoosiers To Keep Dual colored distance star from In- Meet Record Intact diana, national cross-country cham- pion and holder of exceptional times Because Chicago beat Michigan in the mile and two-mile runs, has 49% to 45% on Feb. 22, 1930, that occasioned a renewed query into the date stands as the darkest day in matter of the negro in distance run- recent Wolverine indoor track history, nog.t for not an indoor dual meet has been But one Negro before Smith has lost since.

Kessler Leads Scorers; John Towns end 6th John Townsend, Michigan's sensa- tional sophomore center who seems assured of the All-Conference center post, is tied with Mike McMichaels, Northwestern forward, for sixth place in the Big Ten scoring race with 85 points apiece. Townsend has hit 30 field goals, 25 free throws and chalked up 25 per- sonal fouls in 10 games. George Rudness, Varsity guard, rates 12th with 73 points, Earl Town- send 18th with 58, Capt. Chelso Ta- magno 30th with 37, and John Gee 32nd with 34. Bob Kessler has apparently cinched first place with 124 points in 10 games for an average of 12.4 points a game.

Canadian Olympic team, but never extended his efforts to a longer dis- tance. Many reasons have been ad- vanced as to why there should be no Negroes excelling in the longer distances while members of the race are the acknowledged lead- ers in the sprints and jumping events. One theory involves tem- perament and environment, that the individual is not suited to the more gruelling runs or that he is never given a chance to apply himself to events beyond those in which his race has established itself. But these arguments do not appear sound to this department, as we. be- lieve that if they were true there would be more than the three excep- tions just noted. So it is that the physiological argument is introduced, pointing out that the Negro is structurally different than other races in a manner which, although espe- cially adapting him to one event, is a distinct handicap in another. Much attention and considerable research has been devoted to the physiological aspects of the question, with results which lack credence only because of their variance. Some students of the matter, not- ably Pop Warner, although practical- ly every track coach agrees with him, indicate that the Negro has a longer heel, giving a greater leverage for the calf muscles, an obvious advantage in the sprints and jumps. Still another structural difference is noted by some in the fact that on the average the femur bone, from hip to knee, is as muchhas ten millimet- ers longer than that of any other race, another advantage in the short running events as greater leverage is given. But neither of the two differ- ences cited would particularly disqualify the Negro from ex- cellence in longer events, al- though explaining very well his superiority in the other events. For that reason a third struc- tural difference is claimed, one which not only explains the Ne- gro's sprinting advantage but al- so gives a reason for his evident failuresin the other track events. This difference is pointed out in a contrast between the Negro and the American Indian in the angle at which their legs are hung from the hips. That angle is claimed to be at one extreme for the Indian and at the other extreme for the Negro, giv- Upsets Possible Although Coach E. C. Hayes is bringing a favored squad to Ann Ar- bor, it is not likely that the margin of victory can be more than Chi-1 cago's. Coach Chuck Hoyt's Wolver- ines are not conceding the Hoosiersl a thing, however, even if the latter do seem to have an edge on paper.I Experts are granting that upsets may occur in enough events to turn the tide in Michigan's favor, And hav- ing seen what Hoyt's teams can do under pressure they are wary of go-, ing so far as .to concede the Hayes charges a victory before the meet starts. Hoosiers After Slams After going over the entries for. the meet and comparing their records made this season, it seems more than merely possible that Michigan and Indiana will both capture five firsts while one event is expected to be a tie. As a result the outcome will de- pend on how many seconds and thirds each team can get with the results of the mile and two mile being all- important. In these two races the Hoosiers are gunning for slams which, if they actually occur, will prove dis- astrous to Michigan hopes. Indiana expects to pick up its firsts in the mile, two mile, low hurdles, shot put, and high jump. Michigan is expecting to win the dash, 440, high hurdles, half mile and relay. The pole vault is rated even. Results other than those pre- dicted are highly possible in most of the events but no matter, how the results are predicted in advance, it appears that the meet will be the closest one held here in recent years. WILL PLAY OUTSIDE Olympic basketball games at Ber- lin will be played outdoors and on Sgravel or bituminous courts. ing one the greatest advantage in distance running and disqualifying him from the sprints and the other the advantage in the short events and disqualifying him from the long runs. Whether the various arguments be merely attempted rationalizations of Dan Caldemeyer will be depend- ed upon by Coach Hayes of the In- diana track team tomorrow night to place in three events in the meet at Yost Field House. Caldemeyer will run in both hurdle races and, is also an overwhelming favorite to win the high jump.
