Third Annual Interfraternity
Track Meet o Be Staged Today
130 Athletes
Are Expected
To Participeate
Dark Horse Is Favored To
Win; Schwarz And Weir
)efend Crowns
The third annual interfraternity
track meet will get under way at Ferry
Field this afternoon at 4:15 p.m.
Twenty-four houses, represented by
more than 150 members, will compete
in six track and four field events in
an attempt to dethrone Alpha Delta
Phi, last year's champions.
In spite of the fact that the de-
fending champions will have Jack
D'Arcy, Bill Spicer, and Dave Ladd as
holdovers from last year's victors,
they are not favored to repeat their
win due to the fact that they have
entered only a small squad. This,
coupled with the unexpected failure
of Triangle fraternity, last year's
runners up, to enter a team, makes it
probable that some dark horse will
be the new champions.
Champions Return
Only four of last year's 10 first
place winners will be among the com-
petitors. Fred Schwarz of Phi Psi is
favored to repeat last year's victories
in the 100 yard dash and the broad
jump. The. two other defending
champions will be Phil Whittemore of
Psi Upsilon in the 660 yard run and
J. Weir of Theta Xi, who will be out
to repeat his high jump win.
The possibility that one versatile
track man can compete in any num-
ber of events has been, averted by
limiting each man to only two events.
Rule Not In Effect
Because there is no freshman or
Varsity track team in the fall, the
new intramural rule regarding the in-
ability of freshmen or Varsity squad
men to enter any intramural sports
in their particula'r season will not be
in effect. This excludes letter win-
ners.
The freshmen are expected to pro-
vide the balance of powe in deciding
this year's winner. The first year
men have already shown decided
strength in their outdoor track prac-
tice and their presence in lineups of
their respective houses should prove
to be a welcome source of points.
Keller's 899 Points
Wins The Daily's
I-M Athletic Cup
Presentation of The Michigan
Daily Individual Performance Award
for Intramural Athletics will be made
shortly, the final tabulations and
rechecks on the total points scored
having been completed by the I-M
department. The presentation will
be made to Paul Keller, '40, of Psi
Upsilon by The Daily sports editor.
Preliminary compilations made
late last semester by the intramural
department found Keller to be the
department's leading individual scor-
er with a total of 899 points and
therefore tentative recipient of the
first Daily Award.
Due to the fact that the date of
announcement came so late in the
spring, formal presentation of the
trophy was necessarily postponed.

The Mail Comes ...{
ON A PENNY POSTCARD, in a
scarcely distinguishable scrawl,
appeared this message I have con-
descended to print. A repudiated Re-
publican, no doubt.
My Dear L:j
May I recall to your brain (ifj
any) your fevered, groggy depar-
ture last Friday for the wilds of
Evantton on the outskirts of Carl
Sandburg's favorite metropolis?
May 1, in recalling this journey
into the land of the Wildcat, re-
mind you, Dr. L, that before you
left, yon in your arrogant as-
sumption of wisdom in all mat-
ters athletic, deposited with me-
as manager of the "Daily's" foot-
ball pool-the sum of 10 cents-
one dime-which you wagered on
a list of predictions on 25 major
struggles of last Saturday. I don't
think, Dr. L, that you are aware
yeu came in-not first, not see-,
ond, not even third, but last in the
group of 19 contestants in this
pool. Humiliated and forlorn, IF
see that this week you anticipate
a come-back in an effort to erase
the horrible memories o? your lu-
dicrous prognostications .of Sat-
urday last. I hate to Aee you like
this, Dr. L, for I remember your
days of glory before you reached
your present punch-drunk, slap-
happy state of permanent coma.
Remember, Dr. L, THEY NEVER
COME BACK!!! .
-The Thin Man.
The gentleman who wrote the vit-
riolic note above is going to have to
account to someone for his libelous
assertions. As an American citizen
(naturalization papers pending), I
have rights and I won't submit my-
self to such indignities. If university
authorities refuse to take action
against him, why I'll .. . I'll . .. why,
I'll take the matter to Jim Farley, or
Father Divine. This malcontent can't
intimidate me.
If my suspicions are correct (and
my suspicions ARE correct) this so-
called "Thin Man" is neither thin nor
a man; else he'd have made a per-
sonal presentation of his case. Suf-
fering from delusions of grandeur he
merely envisions himself as "thin."
He is of paunchy girth and Falstaf-
fian proclivities; need I say more?
Moreover, he isn't manager of
any Daily pool. He can scarcely
manage his own finances, and I
entrusted him with my dime only
because a dime means nothing in
my youngt life-except breakfast,{
perhaps.{
But enough of this personal blas-
phemy. About the predictions them-
selves, as Moran and Mack mightI
quip. Why Bring That Up? Note
my courage, nevertiieless, in picking
Illinois to beat Notre Dame, and note
the result. Note also that only a 77-:

lost by the grace of Euclid (one
point) and a fickle nor'wester that
blew an extra point awry . . . And
Cornell! They were held to 20 points
by Princeton-a moral victory, in-
deed. . . And Stanford's upset of
U.C.L.A. was engineered by this Thin
Man and his I.W.W. (I won't work) to
cast me further in a bad light. The1
truth of the matter is I was just
building these office suckers up to a
