Meet Is Orthodox
Notwithstanding all reports to the
contrary, this meet still retains many
of the features of an orthodox track
meet. The 100-yard dash, the high
jump, the broad jump, the shot put,
the pole vault and the discus throw
are events which anyone would ex-
pect to encounter at a track meet.
All of these events will be encoun-
tered at this particular track meet.
But there are others.
One of the unique features of this
meet is a little number known as the
potato race. Investigation has dis-
closed that in spite of the name,
potatoes play no part whatsoever in
the running of this event. In fact, it
is rumored that this event was once
known as the tomato race, but due to
the fact that many of the older East-
ern fraternities insisted on pronoun-
cing "tomato" with a broad "a," caus-
ing considerable dissension, the name
was changed. The Intramural De-
partment now employs wooden blocks
in this event.
Has Unusual Touches
Other unusual touches are the
shuttle relay, the progressive broad
jump and the leap-frog relay. An
additional event is the baseball throw.
The defending campus champion
is Psi Upsilon. However, they will
not be prohibitive favorites today
since it is rumored that their pota-
to race team is badly riddled by grad-
uation.

BOB KOLESAR
on Fritz Crisler's varsity squad, is
hot on veteran Milo Sukup's heels
in a torrid fight for the regular guard
berth on the Wolverine football ma-
chine.
Packing his weight on a five foot,
ten inch frame, the hard-hitting
sophomore from Cleveland, Ohio, has
all the requisites necessary for a
championship performer. He has
speed, not only in the straightaway,
but also in quickness of movement,
which is invaluable on the gridiron.
Back in 1932, the pre-New Deal
days, Bob first started on his long
gridiron career, playing with a ban-
tam-weight outfit, the Cleveland News
Skippies. Although most of the grid-
ders were 17 and 18 years old, Bob
was only 12 and just beginning to
pay adult prices at the movies.
The following year Bob's weight
had increased from 105 to 128, which
was seven pounds above the bantam-
weight limit. There was just one
thing to do-so the pile-driving guard
became a martyr to the Skippies'
cause, sitting in the steam bath every
Friday night. But it was worth it,
for his team trounced an Akron out-
fit before 20,000 spectators to cop
the National Bantamweight cham-
pionship.
In his senior year at John Adams
high school in 1937 Bob climaxed
three years of varsity play by win-
ning All-State grid honors and lead-
ing his team to the city title before
a 50.000 crowd in Cleveland's Muni-
cipl' Stadiium.
Despite this football-filled. exist-
ence. however, this bone-crunching
blocker has yet to attain his great-
est ambition- -help beat Notre Dame,
his high school coach's alma mater,
when the Wolverines play the Irish
in 1942, Bob's senior year.
But you can bet Bob will play plen-
ty of football before that distant date.

Here is another of those Harmon
stories. Evashevski swears this is
true. It happened in the Boston
railway station last Friday morn. The
team had just marched out of its
train and a large crowd had gathered
to see the sights.
Two kids in particular were romp-
ing around through the jammed plat-
form trying to locate Harmon. They
kept racing from one gridder to an-
other asking each if he were Tom
Harmon. The players smiled grace-
fully, and then the kids went on.
Finally they came up to Harmon.
"Is you Tom Harmon," the little
lad cherped.
Tom gracefully smiled but refused
to reveal his true identity.
"Ain't you he," questioned the
same wee lad, trying desperately
to make sure.
Just then his companion rapped
him on the shoulder and the little
kid quickly turned around. '
"Hey, Jim," broke forth the com-
panion, "sure dat's him, ya big
dummy."
"Dontcha see his nose."
