Jeff Hall, Wolverine junior, took fourth in an event in which he is beginning to show considerable promise. The other record went to Big Bob Hook who added over a foot to the old mark in the shot put with a heave of 45 feet, 11 and 1/8 inches. Tommy Lawton, who continues to improve almost daily, was second, less than six inches behind his teammate. Michigan's sophomores showed to good advantage, only one of those who competed failing to gather a point. Charlie Decker led the new men by tying for first place in the pole vault with senior Dave Cushing at 12 feet, 8 inches. Decker looked very strong, as he cleared the bar with inches to spare. Roaring up from the rear, sophomore Johnny Kautz came home third in the half mile, and might have taken second had the race been a few yards longer, but it would have made no difference in the score for Tommy Jester and Dye Hogan finished one-two, Jester's time being 1:58.5. Smith Wins Dash Al Smith opened the evening in the right fashion, as far as Michigan fans were concerned, finishing ahead of Walter Arrington of State, Dave Con- way of Normal, and Wolverine Carl Culver in that order in the 60-yard dash. Smitty didn't really extend himself to win in 6.4 seconds. The mile run was the hardest fought race of the evening, Ed Barrett lead- ing Capt. Roy Fehr of. State to the tape by about five yards, with Jack Dobson third and Brad Heyl fourth. Dobson grabbed the lead for the first couple laps, Brezezinski of Normal and 'Fehr led till the last lap when Barrett put on a drive that pulled hirpe easily into first place. The time was fairly good-4:21.8. Kelley Has Busy Night Loquacious Stan Kelley did himself proud last night. In addition to push- ing Hlad to a new record in the high hurdles, Stan added a clear-cut win over teammate Jeff Hall in the lows, tying the meet mark, and came back in the' following race to run a fine third leg on the mile relay team. The relay brought together the 1 three sophomore sensations of last year, Warren Breidenbach, Phil Bal- yeat, and Jack Leutritz. While Breidenbach has been running well, Balyeat has been hurt three times this year, and is still bothered by aft Wtolver ine Ia sittijan BIreaks Tape IN THIS CORNER By Mel Fineberg The Bubble Burst --. Over the weekend, while most of us were recovering from concusions aris- ing from either exams, final grades or social events, the basketball team was suffering some not-so-slight bits of embarrassment on its own hook. Successive beatings from Northwes- tern and Indiana finally burst the Michigan bubble. At the risk of being criticized for exploiting ex post facto reasoning we'll venture that there's nothing so surprising about the pair of beat- ings. No, it's not surprising that the cagers were beaten because this five was a unique one, a team riding the crest of a psychological wave. The wave reached the whitecap stage, not so much against* the Wildcats as against Indiana, and the result was the wash-up on the Conference shores. The squad this year faced the biggest handicap a basketball club can face-a lack of height. And basketball is one sport where a good little team can't beat a good big team-unless something startling and amazing is present. But for a while it appeared as though this te*n had some- thing startling and amazing. The something was a feeling that every point it got was that much gravy and that maybe it might get some more. That much was apparent from the beginning of the season. Every time someone scored a basket the entire team was elated and that elation generated more enthusiasm and spirt. The club was carried along by that spirit-the spirit that mani- c I a s e w; ar ai -Daily Photo by Bogle Al Smith, Michigan's senior dashman, is shown beating Walter Arrington of Michigan State and Dave Conway of Michigan Normal to the tape in the 60-yard dash at last night's triangular meet in the Field House.

When all this is added up the con- clusion is that it is possible for Mich- igan to tie or even more remotely possible that the Wolverines lead the Big Ten pack outright, but even the most optimistic basketball expert won't venture to make such a bold prediction. The answer is it's pos- sible (on paper at least), but in reality, very highly improbable. Meet Illinois Again Michigan still stands a very good chance of pushing Illinois out of the third place spot, since it meets the latter once more before the sea- son closes, but regardless of where it finishes, Michigan's "fighting midgets" will give the fans a real show whenever they take the floor. The Wolverines are in a perfect spot to make life misearble for Pur- due, Illinois, and the other contend- ers since from now on they have everything to win and nothing to lose. That means the pressure is off, and anything can happen from this point to the finish line.
