A TOUCH of laryngitis, the reces- sion and staff considerations combined to prevent this corner from its Chicago hearth,dand the several Conference meets during the past week-end. But in the octopus man- ner, we had tentacles on the scene- and last night found our drawer bulg- ing with aside lines ... . Preparation to launch this piece with Caesar's Gallic salu- tation, "Veni, Vidi, Vici," went for naught when the swimming results came across the wire to barely make a deadline. But neither Matt Mann nor Wolver- ine partisans expected Kirar, Haynie et al, to defeat Mike Peppe's powerful Ohio State squad, which twice defeated Michigan in dual meets this sea- son. Two Big Ten champion- ships out of three is enough any- how to put the quietus on those inclined to chide us for that "Champions of the West" line in the victory chant. If Fritz Crisler can perform a Betsey Ross on the bedraggled football pennant, Michigan's stock, and that of Di- rector Yost's cigar maker, will rise accordingly. Charley Hoyt didn't, of course, reckon with the amazing collapse of Indiana's middle distance and dis- tance strength, but with character- istic lack of verbal display, he knew his squad had enough balance and well-distributed power back of the tape-breakers to win. Consider that 13 Michigan men contributed to the Wolverine point total, only two of them gaining firsts. Ohio State and Iowa each boasted seven point-get- ters, while Wisconsin and Indiana had five. Wisconsin, the runner-up, had four first places. Cliff Keen, unable to under- stand the widespread lack of campus interest in wrestling, must feel compensated for the Daily's laxity in publicizing his sport. A Conference title is some- thing to work on ... Peppe Gets A Duck... Ohio State's swimming champion- ship was the first it has ever attained, brought on a spasm of jubilation which resulted in the Buckeye. mer- men hurling their mite mentor, Mike Peppe into the pool, clothes and all. Peppe good-naturedly obliged with a comical exhibition that delighted on- lookers no end' ... Indiana, Chicago and Purdue failed to place a man in the finals. . Capt. Ed Kirar climaxed a brililant career in Big Ten circles with the only individual record- breaking feats of the entire festivi- ties, departed from the tank owner of new marks in both the 50-and 100- yard races with a :52.8 and :23.3 time respectively . . . Ovation given Kirar and Coach Mann before the meet started seemed louder than any other, according to our unbiased in- former . . . Kirar and Haynie were the only double winners, both re- tained titles they won in '37 ... LACHRYMOS NOTE Dick Squire, phio half -miler who failed to qualify in his fa, vored event, found himself a bench after the race and released his inhibitions with copious tears . .. Michigan's Harold Davidson, who almost qualified in the 880 but fell short, approached the mourning Buckeye and barked: "Move over, Squire, I want to sit down and cry with you.. ." Norm Purucker, forced into several wagers by this depart- ment's revelation that he was taking 3 to 1 that he'd gain a point in the sprints, refused to rationalize his failure to qualify for the finals ...Said Purucker of his rivals: "They ran like hell. What could I do?". PATERNAL RIB After Gib James had missed about five sizzling shots in Saturday night's hockey game against Paris, he re- turned to the bench, where his fath- er, W. E. James-who drove from Ot- tawa to watch Gib and Spike in ac- tion-handed him a pair of eyeglasses .

Star Hurdler _ To Mix Track With Baseball Coaches Hoyt And Fisher Both Approve Elmer's Spring Dual Role Elmer Gedeon. Michigan's pheno- menal hurdler, yesterday decided to combine outdoor track with baseball this Spring, after consulting with Coaches Charley Hoyt and Ray Fisher. Gedeon 'sdecision solves a dilemma which has harried him for several weeks, and which, because of its im- portance in his athletic scheme, had provoked more than a little campus interest. A few weeks ago, the blonde Cleve- land junior definitely committed him- self to baseball, a sport in which he harbors professional aspirations. But his hurdling successes, increasing- ly brilliant in every indoor engage- ment, aroused doubts in his mind as to whether he was pursuing the proper course. Consequently Gedeon devised a spring program whereby he might Records Fall And Hearts Are Broken In Grueling Conference Track Meet Another Big Ten championship track meet, replete with broken rec- ords and broken hearts, slipped into the limbo of athletic history Satur- day night in the University of Chi- cago Field House. Exultation and bitter dejection were there as plainly as the sharp odor of rubbing alcohol and sweat. No Western Conference track meet would be complete without it. No One Certain Saturday night's meet, like the 27 indoor battles that had preceded it, Matmen Finally Be a t Hoosiers Big Ten Wrestling Crown Is First Since 1929 By NEWELL McCABE The atmosphere has changed. Up in the second story loft, where Coach Cliff Keen and his Wolverine wrest- lers have been working since last fall, the tense feeling that prevailed since their intial defeat by the Hoosiers has been alleviated. Last Saturday night the Michigan matmen won the Conference titl when they nosed out their old rivals, the Hoosiers of Indiana, by a score of 28 to 25. Although finishing near the top for the past nine years, this is Ste first time since 1929 that they have been able to take top honors.

Tommy was just inside the money in fifth place and tiring fast. Still half sick, he had run 'a blistering mile and finished just behind Chuck Fenske as the flying Badger rolled home with a new Big Ten record. Doubles Too Much Jimmie Smith, Indiana's Negro dis- tance star, had finished fifth in the mile only to be disqualified. He was tired in the two-mile and the half was too much for even his powerful legs as it was for his teammate Bill Miller who tried to put Indiana in the team championship with a double in the 440 where he was third and the 880 where he was far back in sixth. The prelims deprived other com- petitors besides Stan Kelley of a chance to compete in the finals. George Halcrow, Chicago's bril- liant quarter miler and outdoor champion, found the pace too much for him after a seige of illness.

My boys and I will al- ways be close to the top." Matt is right. Ohio State didn't beat him much. The Bucks have spent years trying to beat the irrepressible Englishman and his charges and even after they succeeded in nudging him off his Conference tank throne, they still couldn't top the two greatest pro- ducts of his coaching genius, Tom Haynie and Ed Kirar.
