running the 880 in well under two
minutes. Ross has been clocked -for
the distance at 1:56.1 and Bob in
1:56.3. However with more training
and practice these times should be
shortened.
The reason why These twins might
be changed to the mile is that Cap-
tain-elect Dave Matthews and John
Roxborough have already proved
that they are two good men for this
distance. The former ran the dis-
tance in 1:52 flat in the National
Collegiates, which is the second fast-
est Michigan time on record. The lat-
ter has shown that, he is capable of
running the race in 1:55 or there-
abouts.

the 220, returning letterman, Leon-

hind the greatest Wolverine track
teams has not been to win every
event, but rather to win a few and
pick up second and third place
points in every event.
In the hurdles, Michigan can look
forward to fine performances from
Frank McCarthy, who scored four-
teen points in the Notre Dame meet
last year, and Chuck Pinney, who
was fourth in the Conference Indoor
Meet last year. Jim Byerley and Joe
Leahy are two other returning veter-
ans, while a promising freshman,
now sophomore, group will be of help
in aiding the Wolverine cause.
In the 440 Bob Ufer ought, to be
Big Ten champion. As for the mile
relay team Coach Doherty does not
yet know who will run with Ufer.
Bill Wheatly, RalphGibson and sev-
eral sophomores will all get consid-
eration for the three posts, The mile
relay has always been one of Michi-
gan's best events and probably will
remain so"this year.
The half mile shapes up as the
strongest event for the Maize and
Blue. With Matthews, Roxborough,
and the two Humes, all who are cap-
able of 1:56 or better, Coach Doherty
has nothing to worry about in this
distance.
