These track powers in the past dis- covered that trying to break the Wolverines' grip on the title was like trying to break the death grip of a boa constrictor on its victim. But this year, with Ohio State and Notre Dame favored over the Michigan cin- dermen, the Wolverines' bid for the crown may go unheeded. McCarthy Stays Home Without the services of its most versatile husky, Frank McCarthy, the Michigan crew will definitely not be at full strength tonight for the de- fense of its laurels. McCarthy, who majors in the high hurdles, high jump and broad jump, remained at home yesterday because of his in- jured hip, retaining with him in Ann Arbor five or six very probable Wol- verine points. Despite the fact that the Buckeyes captured the Big Ten title last week end at Chicago, it is the Notre Dame squad that rates the edge over the rest of the field in the annual mid-c western track carnival tonight. List-x ing on their roster such stars as shot-put artist Jim Delaney, high jumper Keith O'Rourke, and dis- tancerunner Ollie Hunter, the Irish will be seeking revenge for the dual meet set-back the Wolverines handed them earlier in the season and, fromt all indications, it will take all the ed in competition this year. Com- posed of Buel Morley, George Pet- tersen, Al Thomas and Bob Ufer, this baton-passing quartet has al- ready defeated the Notre Dame, Ohio State and Indiana relay teams and should keep its slate clean in the Butler meet. Two Mile Quartet Strong Michigan's two mile quartet is also to be reckoned with tonight. With Johnny Kautz, Will Ackerman, Dave Matthews and Ufer passing the baton, the Wolverine quartet finished third at the Millrose Games last February in their only showing of the season, but in so doing bettered the time of the Michigan team which won the same event last year. Wolverine sprinters Capt. Al Piel and Al Thomas will face such speed artists as Pitt's Bill Carter and Ohio State's Ralph Hammond and Wright, with either Carter or Hammond rat- ing the nod.

Ohio State bases its bid for the crown on the season's records of its outstanding individual stars, chief among whom is Bob Wright, nomi- nated by many as the best hurdler in the country today. The lanky timber-topper has been burning up the cinder paths all winter and is a fairly certain bet to grab top honors in both the high and low hurdles to- night. Indiana, with its sensational group of distance stars, will also be making a strong bid for the coveted title.

Qy p M Li FE" Sextet Relapses To Old Form, Loses First Illinois Encounter IT has been recorded here once or twice before that press releases which flood the mail drawer every day are seldom worth the postage it takes to send them. Here's one that is. It comes from an aviation cadet training field in the Lone Star State. ELLINGTON FIELD, TEXAS- Shinnying down a flagpole with a flock of German bullets playing tag with your sideburns isn't the healthiest program for training athletes-but it may have helped Aviation Cadet Lou Zamperini be- come one of the world's greatest runners. Lou is the only man in the world to storm Hitler's palace, capture hisi flag, and live to thumb his nose at the Nazis. He's also the holder of the national collegiate, the world's high school, the Pacific Coast Con- ference and the IC4A mile records, all won while running for the Uni- versity of Southern ,California at his home town, Los Angeles. ZAMPERINI, now 25 years old, is at Ellington Field, planning to break another record. When he completes his course here as a bombardier, and goes into action against the enemy, he will be the only man to be captured by a Ger- man general, shot at by Hitler's personal guards, and return to blaze away at those same guards from the long end of a bombsight. Lou's name is legend on track and field, so we won't worry about his legs. 'His adventure in Berlin during the 1936 Olympics reads like a page from Robin Hood.. He was only an 18-year-old high school kid at the time, and had startled the sports world by setting a new high school world's mile rec- ord, and winning a berth on the American Olympics team. But col- lecting track titles wasn't Lou's only extra-curricular activity. He liked to pick up odds and ends for sou- venirs-especially when he'd prom- ised a cute dish in L. A. that he'd "Bring her something-special." SO we find Lou idling down a Ber- lin street one bleak European afternoon. What to bring the girl? And suddenly a flag began whip- ping back and forth before Lou's eyes. He was in front of Hit- ler's palace-and Hitler's personal guards were on duty there, two columns of them. That flag be- came like a red rag to a bull. Soldiers were marching up and down in front of the palace. One brief instant found all backs turhed at once-all backs but Lou's. He didn't ask for another chance. Zam-I perini dashed for the pole, scooted up the shaft, grabbed the flag, ripped it from the pole, and prepared for the trip down. Then the soldiers saw him. LEAD whistled around his head. Lou slid down the slippery pole, and jumped the last 18 feet. He started to make a dash for it, but he couldn't move. "That jump numbed my legs. I couldn't go," Lou grins about it now. "Lucky those guards were bum shots. They caught me, though-and I got a real taste of German cursing, kicking and beat- ing." The guards knocked Zamperini to the ground and gave him a real going over. But a strange thing saved him. A rifle butt was poised for a trip to Lou's face when a command rang out: "Halten sie!" It was General Werfer Von Fritsch, commander-in- chief of the German Army. VON FRITSCH questioned Lou sternly. Lou told the truth. "I just wanted a swell present for my gal, and that flag seemed like a good one." "I guess it would make, a good one," Von Fritsch replied. "But young man you are a fool! What you have done is punishable here by .. . death!" Von Fritsch stared silently at the boy for a minute, then his face softened. He thrust the torn swas- tika in Zamperini's hand and stalked away. LOU still has the flag. Not here at the world's largest multi-motor school, but at home. He hasn't time to collect any more souvenirs, he's too busy learning to give the Ger- mans, Japs and Italians a souvenir or two of his own. DAYTONA BEACH, Fla., March 13. -(P)-- Rookie catcher Cliff Dapper, who was slated to understudy MickeyI Owen with Brooklyn this season, ap- peared headed for the No. 3 slot today when the Dodgers announced the purchase of veteran Billy Sulli- van from Detroit. The Dodgers left today for Miami, where they open a two-game series with the New York Giants tomorrow. ST. PETERSBURG, Fla., March 13 -()-Marius Russo and rookie Milo Candini pitched the New York Yan- kees to their second straight shutout today, a 2-0 victory over the Cin- cinnati Reds. It was the third win in a row for the world champions, who have not been scored on in their last 28 in- nings of exhibition play. After being- handcuffed by Elmer Riddle for four innings, the Yanks opened the scoring in the fifth when Gerry Priddy drilled a home run over the left field fence for their first hit of the game and one of two runs off Les Hinkle. (Special to The Daily) CHAMPAIGN, March 13-Nine ort 16 players, it makes no difference to1 Vic Heyliger, Illinois hockey coach, for the wiry mentor sent only half of his original' puck team on the ice last night and there was still enough punch to trounce Michigan again, 6-2. Minus their high-scoring front line1 of Aldo and Mario Palazzari to-j gether with Roland. DePaul, the Illini found a more than capable substi- tute. The trio of Captain Joe Lotzer, Buckey Benson and Lou Ferranti played all important roles in four of the counters scored against the Wol-, verines last 'night. Lotzer and Fer- ranti led the first line, each getting ; a marker, and while the captain was credited with an assist, Ferranti got two. Illinois Defense Stars Despite the fact that they would have to play the entire three periods on the Orange and Black defense, Amo Bessone and George Balestri i came up to aid the Illini cause. Bal- estri marked up one tally, while Amo got that and another to boot. Although their play turned in last week against Michigan Tech was def-} initelW- a marked improvement, the Wolverines reverted to the type of play displayed earlier in the season, and consequently found themselves on the same spot as in the first Illi- nois series two months ago. No op- portunists, the Michigan team failed to make the best of any break that came its way. As in many of the previous Maize and Blue puck battles, the same old story prevailed: sloppy playing, with little back-checking or poke-check- ing. As it was, Bob Collins' score was on a long poke from the blue line. And Johnny Corson got the only other Michigan marker, blasting the puck in unassisted. No Goldsmith Eddie Lowrey had faint hopes that Captain Paul Goldsmith would be ready for action last night, but the lanky senior hadn't fully recovered from his back injury. His appear- ance might have steadied the Wol- verines, and thus prevented their list- less and ragged play. Tomorrow night both teams close their seasons-one completely dis- astrous, the other rather successful. A iMichigan victory would be the season's third-one more than was chalked up last year. But that possi- bility is still a bit remote after last night's performance. Illinois, on the other hand, is bent on retaining its Big Ten title. As things stand right now, the Illini have insured themselves of at least a tie, but they want this one un- assisted. The only correct way to break in a pipe is to smoke it.
