' Leads Relay Team To Go Or Not To Go... OLLEGE ATHLETES eyeing the the 1940 Olympics may find their ambitions somewhat thwarted by the latest decision of the International Olympic Committee. Without solici- tude for the American team, which consists largely of undergraduates, the nabobs moved the date of the Tokyo athletic carnival forward al- most a. month-a move that conflicts with the Fall semester. Now, a col- lege man must forego that period of his schooling if he wishes to compete in the games. Of course, the American may decide to hasten his return to these shores, enroll in his favorite university and struggle to make up accumulated assignments. But n view of the fact that the games and Oct. 6, and it must take fully a month, if not considerably longer, to travel the ordinary i outes between the United States and Japan, the undergraduate, it seems to us, must elect either to, participate in the Olympics and remain out of school the Fall semester, or to cling to his aca- demic pursuits and vicariously enjoy in his classroom siestas the jolly soirees of Nippon. A trip to Japan will probably offer much in an educational way-maybe a lesson or two in the fine edges of a militarist's craft. The office cynic suggests that maybe by 1940 Japan will be floating somewhere about in the Pacific, disgorged ty a belching ocean. That isn't a happy thought, and with Spring and itsiattendant optimism close upon us, it's one we can't harbor right now. For imme- Varsity Seeks To Take Fifth Stra iit Title lL~a Ailnieiii (2oiiines Allen To Bed As Mates Are FLvored To Win Michigan's undefeated track team will be without the services of ace high jumper, Wes Allen, when they go after their fifth consecutive Butler Relays title at Indianapolis Satur- day, it was disclosed yesterday. A slight sore throat, contracted at the Big Ten indoor meet at Chicago, where he placed second behind Dave ' Albritton of O.S.U.. had developed in- to strepticocci infection after keep- ing him in bed since Monday. Out For Another Week Doctors in charge of Allen's case said his condition, while not serious, would necessitate hospitalization for at least another week. The Negro sophomore star h/ed twice tied his veteran colored rival and fellow townsman from Cleveland previous to their third meeting at the Conference indoor meet. Allen slipped to second only when Albritton, co-holder of the world's record at 6 feet 10 3 /4, came through with a leap of 6 feet 6 1/4 inches to set a new Big Ten indoor record. Wolverines Are Favorites Despite the loss of their best high 1 umper the Wolverines are still odds on choices to make it five straight at the rich Butler Relays. Aside from Allen the Hoytmen will flash the same balanced strength that annexed their fifth straight Big Ten indoor crown and swept the deck at the Illinois Relays.
