THE MICHIGAN DAILY SUNDAYE 7 Track Squad Called Best Ever After Swamping State, 7-28 Spartans Win In High Jump And Two-Mile New Field House Records Set By Birleson, Watson, Brelsford; Stoller Wins Starr Annexes 880 By FRED H. DeLANO Michigan's Varsity thinclads last night opened their 1937 schedule with one of the greatest displays of power ever seen in Yost Field House when they swamped the Spartans of Mich- igan State. 67-28. Three new Field House records were hung up in the process of downing the Spartans, one of these being a new mark in the shot put by Sophomore Bill Watson at 49 feet 91/2 inches to set a new all-time Michigan record. This heave bettered by 18 inches the old record which was set by Capt. Joe Horner of the 1911 Wolverine thinclads. Birleson Tops Beetham's Mark The two other new records were made by two seniors, Clayt Brels- ford in the mile and Stan Birleson in the 440. Brelsford's time was 4:17.1 which clipped two and six- tenths from the old mark which be- longed to Jack Childs. Birleson was clocked in :49.2, one and a tenth seconds under the mark set last year by Chuck Beetham of Ohio State. The Spartans won only two first places, these coming in the two mile and the high jump, and at no time even threatened to take the lead. Capt. Bob Osgood of Michigan was the outstanding man of the meet in regard to individual points, the Wol- verine leader taking firsts in both the high and low hurdles for 10 points. Brelsford Wtns Going Away Brelsford opened the meet with his impressive victory in the mile. Ken Waite, State's IC-4A cross country champion, broke ahead of the field and led until the last 65 yards. Brels- ford lagged behind during the first two laps but from then on ran stead- ily a pace behind the Spartan. At the last turn the Wolverine forged ahead and won by a full five yards. Sammy Stoller followed with an easy win in the 60-yard dash, beat- ing Wilbur Greer, State sophomore,: to the tape by at least a yard. Alan Smith, Michigan sophomore was third. In the quarter Birleson broke on top and was never headed. Another Wolverine making his first appear- ance in competition, Ross Faulkner, captured second ahead of Dudley of State. Osgood led all the way in both the highs and lows. McDurmon of State was second in the highs, a nose ahead of his teammate, Springer, and in the lows he finished third. Steve Mason of Michigan was second in the latter event. :Boss Scores EayWin The two mile was not as impres- sive as expected and Boss of State had little trouble in finishing ahead of Alix and Pinkerton of Michigan. It was Alix's first race since the Cali- fornia meet in. 1935 when he suffered a broken leg while running this same event. Ben Starr raced home ahead of the pack in the 880 with Ed DeVine a close second. The best State could do here was a third. In the pole vaulteJim Kingsley was the only one to clear 19 feet and thus added an- other five points to the Wolverine total. Dave Hunn was second. State Takes Wgh Jump State captured its only other first when Yovonovich won the high jump by clearing the bar at five feet eight inches. This is the only event where Michigan lacks strength, but against State Friedenberg and Hunn of the Wolverines were second and third. In the mile relay State never had a chance. Waldo Abbott, r-unning first for the Wolverines, ended his quarter with a 16-yard lead. Bill Aigler extended it another five yards and Howard Davidson stretched it to all of 30. Stan Birleson, the anchor man, finished at least 45 yards ahead of Dudley, fourth State runner. .rAT E 1T1?EET - IWE lIE R WATCH & JEWELRY REPAIRING Track Summaries Mle run: Won by Brelsford, (Michigan); Waite (State) second; Harold Davidson (Michigan) third.

Northwestern's offense was useless, but the team was so "hot" from the floor that it didn't need any set-up plays. Of the 12 shots that the Wild- cats hit, 10 were longs. Jim Currie, Sophomore guard who became eligible with the opening of the second semester, was the back- bone of the Northwestern defense, while his ball handling was also out- standing. Thomas, playing Fishman's spot, No decision had been made last night as to whether Herm Fish- man would be able to play in tomorrow's game with Purdue al- though it was reported from the University Health Service that his condition was greatly im- proved. Rickey's Offer Turned Down By Dizzy Dean DALLAS, Tex., Feb. 20.-(A)-Je- rome Herman Dean, a very disgustedI ycung moan, chewed down two cigars,. called the "Gas House Gang" a bunch of violets and admitted today he had returned an unsigned $25,000 con- tract to the St. Louis Cardinals. "Outrageous," sputtered Dizzy. "How could that fellow Branch Ri- ckey have the nerve to send me last! year's contract? Why, I didn't even glance at it. My wife opened it, told me the figure, we laughed about it," and had it on a return train in two hours. "They always send two contracts -one to sign and one for me to keep. I didn't even keep the extra one. Don't want it laying around to make me mad." Dean again set his price at $50,000. "I'd play cheaper than that for any other club in the business-just to get away from Rickey Chi Psi Cage Team I Favored To Repeat In -1MTournament Four fraternity basketball teams,t leaders in their respective leagues,t are prepared to polish off additionalf league champions in the eliminations which will begin this week. Winners have been determined in nine of the 12 leagues with the re-c maining three to be decided in thet next few days. The finalists in both! class A and B will meet at the In- tramural Open House on March 17. Chi Psi, defending champions, boasts a team which is probably stronger than the quintet that rep- resented them last year. In addi- tion to two All-fraternity men, Pal- mer and Payne, the champs have two star freshmen to pace the team. Last season Delta Kappa Epsilon was certain that they were the class of the circuit, however, they were nosed out in the final game, and were forced to accept the position of run-g ner-up. This year may witness an- other finish, though, for the D.K.E.'s are primed to regain their lost laurels. However, these two bitter rivals will not have the tournament to themselves, as their are several 'dark horses' entered in the race who are bent upon obtaining as many points as possible towards the all-year total. Phi Kappa Psi and the Betas will be strong contenders for the basket- ball crown, each possessing high scoring, strong defensive teams. Al- though the Betas have not figured very much in previous sports this year, a victory over the neighboring Chi Psi's would be a feat well-worth accomplishing. Boilermakers Trip Minnesota, 34 T o 33 LAFAYETTE, Ind., Feb. 20.-(P)-- With the final gun halting a sensa- ticnal Minnesota rally, Purdue threw the Big Ten Conference race into a free-for-all here tonight by nosing out the Gophrs before 5,500 howling fans, 34 to 3'3. It was the brilliant play of Johnny Sines and Pat Malaska which stood out as the Boilermakers chalked up their seventh victory against two de- feats.

Gee put the game on ice with a one-hand shot. Northwestern revived an old de- fensive tactic, that of checking the Wolverines in the back-court. While this didn't prevent the Varsity fror taking the balldown the floor, it did disrupt the slow-breaking Michigar offense. Michigan attempted 12 free throws and missed six. Northwestern tried the same number and hit eight. Townsend, who started the game in fourth spot in the individual scor- ing race, made only four points for a total of 77. ;or Purdue's r House FG FT TP ..... .. 1 2 4 .........0 1 1. .5 1 11 .3 0 6 .5 1 11 .0 0 0 .0 1 1 .0 0 0 .14 6 34 FG FT TP .7 1 15 0 3 3 .0 2 2 .3 0 6 .1 0 2 .1 2 4 . 0 0 0 .0 0 0 ........12 8 32 ST ENOTYPY (Machine Shorthand Totals.

The Hurons, lacking first place win- ners in the early stages saw Butler go ahead by a 34-29 count when the meet was more than half over. The Hurons came back with a slam in the high jump and a second and third in the pole vault, however, pick- ing up 17 points in the two events and establishing a lead that Butler could not overcome. 711 North University 902 South State I ±1 I RE~STOCKED - OVER 3,000 PATTERNS TO CHOOSE FROM Priced from Thirty to One lwundred.
