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. It's Topcoat Tme We are show- ing a vast se- lection in Camel Hair, Fleece, Tweed, and Co- $22.50 to { 35.

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." * * * Just three more shopping days un- til SWEET REVENGE.
