The outcome of the meet hinged on the result of the broad jump, which as it turned out determined nothing, since both the Phi Delts and Sigma Chi could garner but one point apiece. Tom Harmon, All-American half- back, again demonstrated his versa- tility as he won the 60-yard dash for the second straight year in :06.7, besides running away with the low hurdles in :07.9 to capture top hon- ors for the evening. Phi Delts Retire Cup By virtue of tying for first place, Phi Delta Theta retired the Inter- Fraternity track cup, as this is the third consecutive year they have e5- ther tied or won the championship. Bob Ruetter was outstanding for Sigma Chi winning the 440 and plac- ing second in the 60-yard dash. Ruetter's time in the 440 was very close to the fraternity record as he ran the event in 53.5. Norm Call, Phi Gamma Delta and varsity half- back, won the high hurdles in 09:00 flat as Lawrence Smith of Lambda Chi Alpha ran a close second. Smith, incidentally, led Lambda Chi Alpha to third place by virtue of his tying for first in the high jump and placing second in the high hurdles. Other winners were Bob Bragg of Sigma Nu who hurled the shot put 38 feet 10 inches, closely followed by Al Wistert, Phi Delta Theta's varsity tackle, who hit 38 feet 8 inches. Sisman Wins Vault Tiny Bernard Sisman, Phi Sigma Delta, won the pole vault, jumping 11 feet 6 inches, as Chapman of Psi Upsilon placed second at 11 feet five inches. In the 880 Lucius Hamilton, Sig- ma Chi, and McDonald, Psi Upsilon, ran one-two, while in the mile, Char- les Newman, Lambda Chi Alpha, edged out Apple of Phi Kappa Sig- ma. The final results were Phi Delta Theta and Sigma Chi tied for first with 19% points, Lambda Chi Alpha third with 10%4, and Phi Gamma Delta placing fourth with 8. DASCOLA formerly ESQUIRE BARBERS We are happy to announce DOUG GOULD of Sigma Phi Epsilon as the winner of our recent slo- gan contest. "Keep ahead of your Fair" was Doug's winning entry. His award is $15 in services. We thank all contestants for the interest diisplayed in our successful contest. DOM D. DASCOLA Considered one of the greatest wrestlers ever to enter Michigan, Harlan Danner, 155-pound Big Ten champ, is given a strong chance to win the national intercollegiate title in the matches to be held at Champaign this Friday and Satur- day. atmen Prep For Nationals Lack Of Condition Is Chief Worry To Coach Keen A final week of hard drilling drew near a close yesterday as varsity wrestling coach Cliff Keen prepared a five-man squad for the National Intercollegiate championships atj Champaign, Ill., this weekend. Lack of condition in a team newly-recov- ered from a series of injuries was the Wolverine mentor's chief worry. Big Ten Titleholders Michigan's lopes for a national championship, which are better than a mediocre season would indicate, will rest on the shoulders of three Big Ten titleholders and two runners-up. Capt. "Butch" Jordan, who licked Ohio State's George Downes, victor over Illini Sikich, for the Conference heavyweight crown, will find unde- feated George Chiga, of Oklahoma A and M, a third tough obstacle in his way at Champaign. Don Nichols and Harland Danner, Michigans other champions, will also find a standout field against them in the nationals. Nichols, victor in the last act of his Conference feud with Indiana's 175-pounder, "Tuffy" In- man, at the Big Ten Meet, will find the Hoosier back to plague him, aided by Kansas State's Reyard and Eastern Intercollegiate Champion Ernie Bortz, of Penn State, among others. Danner Rates Good Chance Danner, one of the finest collegi- ate wrestlers in the nation, will be a good bet to add the national 155- pound crown to his Big Ten title. Emilio Bruno, ex-National AAU champion from San Jose State, will give him his greatest opposition. Bill Combs, 145, and Jim Galles, 165 pounder, will complete the Wol-' verine entry. Both men are rated in the top brackets of their respective classes, with Combs a favorite, bar- ring a recurrence of his knee injury. At 6:37 p.m. today, Michigan's powerful swimming team entrains for New Haven to defend its National Collegiate crown in the 14th renewal of the annual meet at the Payne Whitney Exhibition Pool Friday and Saturday. Matt Mann named 15 of his Wes- tern Conference champions to make the trip. On the traveling list are: Capt. Hal Benham, Strother Martin, Jack Wolin, Charley Barker, John Gillis, Bill Holmes, Gus Sharemet, Tommy Williams, Ed Hutchens, Blake Thaxter, John Sharemet, John Haigh, Dick Riedl, Bill Beebe and Francis Heydt. The team will arrive in New Haven early Thursday and will begin its drive for a seventh straight title on Friday morning when the 1,500-meter freestyle race will be swum off. j Six Events On Friday All told, six of the 11 events will be held on Friday with pre-season strength and past performances pres- aging the following results: 1500-meters freestyle: This is one of those events that is difficult to predict. Last year, Ohio's star back- stroker, Harold Stanhope, was sur- prisingly entered and proceeded to capture.the title with a record smash- ing 19:53.8 timing. Stanhope will be back again and so will Eric Cutler from Harvard who finished behind him. But both of these distance per- formers will have their troubles. Wayne will have the great Andy Clark, who is expected to grab first honors while Rene Chouteau, the Yale entry, will probably finish ahead of Stanhope and Cutler. Fourth last year, Buckeye Elwood Woodling will battle it out with Michigan's Blake Thaxter, among others, for the fifth place point. .- Barker Defends Crown 50-yard freestyle: This event, the first on Friday night's show, will find Michigan's sensational sprinter, Char- ley Barker, defending his crown against a large and speedy field. Barker has turned in the best time of the year, :23.2 and should win again. Close behind will be Guy Lumsden from Wayne who has done :23.4. Paul Wolf of Southern California, third last year, and Charley Cowell, the Army sprinter who did :23.6 in the Eastern Intercollegiate League meet. Otherse who might gain points in this event are Russ Duncan and Tom Britton from Yale, Dick Fahrbach, Northwestern, Bob Uercy, the Louisi- ana State natator who won the South- eastern Conference title in :23.3, Bob Garrett, Army's No. 2r speedster, Flor- ida's Chic Acosta, fourth last year, and Walt Kelley, Villanova. 150-yard backstroke: Al Vande Weghe has won this race the past two years and . appears headed for his third straight title. His greatest competition will come from Heydt, the Michigan junior, and Big Ten record holder with a 1:36.8 perform- ance. The Wolverines also have Bee- be, runner-up last year and sopho- more Riedl to gain points, while Iowa's Al Armbruster will also be among the leaders. Joe Burns from Yale, third last year, and Bill Griffin from Ken- yon, fourth, will both be back. Art Bosworth of Harvard along with two other Eli entries, Ed Brueckel and Bob White can do around 1:40. Johnson Favored 200-yard freestyle: Howie Johnson, the sensational Eli sophomore, with consistent 2:12 performances appears headed for top honors. He will be followed by the same distance trio that is expected to battle in the morn- ing 1500-meter, Clark, Cutler and Chouteau. Michigan's Ed Hutchens, Bill Prew from Wayne, Jim Rood, Florida, Eli's Willis Sanburn and Johnny Patton and Stanhope from Ohio will all be possibilities for the fifth place point. One-meter diving: Once again Ohio has the class with its great duo, Al Patnik and Earl Clark. Jimmy Cook fiom Yale will be right in there, while Michigan has Benham and Wolin to battle it out with Bob Gardner of Wayne, Tom Powell, the lanky North- western star, and Ormond McClave of Rutgers. IRCd Sox Riiiiors ... JAMES FARLEY, in tossing his hat into the presidential ring, is ,laying every card in his attempt to1 :apture every possible vote. In ad- herence to this new plan, he thought he'd capture our ballot by dropping this little billet in our mailbox. Poor Jim--our vote is now irrevocably lost to him. Read on, MacDuff, and see what we mean. Dear Corner: Feeling as we do that all culture ends west of Worcester, Mass., we, too, wishing to bring enlightenment to the backwoodsmen, now take it upon ourselves to prepare you for a shock: By the time the Wells Far- go next hits Detroit, Mich., the Amer- ican League pennant will be trium- phantly flying from the flagpole of Fenway Park, home of the Boston Red Sox. From information given to us by usually reliable sources close to Thomas Jefferson Yawkey, owner of the Gold Hose, we are convinced that "Boston's own" will undoubtedly clinch the flag by July 4th, even while the De-' troit Polecats fight a losing bat- tle to cinch seventh place from the hard-fighting Beau- mont (Tex.) Panthers. To start with the infield, we come to modest, muscled James Emory Foxx, who will surpass "Banana King" Bonura to lead both leagues in fielding. The boys of Beaver Troop 14 are counting upon their honorary Eagle Scout, bicepwbulging, black- smith-shouldered Double XX to blaze new trails in batting. At shortstop, Uncle Joe Cronin will, like good wine, improve with age. Moving on, vice-president of the Boston Chapter of the WCTU, James Patrick Tabor, will, in addition to performing his regular chores at third base, sell peanuts, programs and sun glasses in the left field bleachers. As for the outfield: the best of the DiMaggios (Uncle Galleazzo not in- cluded) will be throwing perfect strikes in from left field to Harvard Yard; Flit Cramer will practice the cornet in center field; and Thump- ing Theodore Williams, the best out- fielder since Ty Cobb, will drive so many long drives into the right field wall that it will take on the appear- ance of mini cake splattered with marshmallows. You ask us about our pitching and catching staffs? Al, you might well ask. We remain, confident as ever, The Culture Twins WE won't bother to comment on the letter-its errors are quite obvious to even the most untrained diamond eye. But we are thankful for one thing at least and that is that a Boston accent can't 'emerge on paper. "Staff" is still "staff" and not "stawf". For this we give thanks. LNY rumors that the swimming I team would swim, go by kiddie car or hitch hike to Yale were defi- nitely scotched today when it was learned that day coach it was and day coach it will remain as far as transportation is concerned. But the swimmers are still hoping against hope that a reprieve, in the form of a change in plans to pullman, will be yet forthcoming. Kuist Takes Rifle Honors With 19 boys competing in the All Campus Rifle shooting contest last night, Blaine Kuist took top honors with a total of 191 out of a possible 200 shots. Robert Ranker with 185 and Harry Altman with 184 won sec- ond and third place respectively. These totals were made from a stand- ing position.

To put the lie to these scoundrels, Slammer Doerr, now wearing long pants, will, moreover, be taking his regular cuts at the plate. I 4f' 7 k j P ~~ r : :; i: r x:.,_;
