Indoor Relays to the Fore
L ISTENING to the Chicago Relays
last night provided us with a good
deal of food for thought. We couldn't'
help wondering about this relay as-
ppect of track, and the changes it
has brought to the cinder world,
especially in the last decade.
We were talking with Ken Doherty,
who is Varsity track coach, just the
other day about the changes that
have come about, and he reminded
us of two trends that have been very
prevalent. First of all, the emphasis
has been been more and more on in-
door track, which has been brought
to the fore mainly by relay carnivals
of one sort or another.%
The Millrose Games, one of the
biest of the so-called promoters'
meets, started In 1915 and was the
forerunner of our present-day in-
door relays. Now, after almost a
quarter of a century, there is a
meet practically every week in the
East, during the months of Febru-
ary and March, that attracts stars
from all over the country. These
meets-which include strictly col-
legiate affairs such as the IC4-A
championships, the National AAU
championships, the New York AC
Games, and the Knights of Colum-
bus Games - have brought indoor
rckfrom the realm of obscurity
to a position of equal importance
with outdoor track.
JN THE MID-WEST it is practically
the same story, except that the
changes have been a little more re-
cent, and apply more to collegiate
competition. The Illinois Relays was,
in 1930, the only one of its kind in
the middle west. Now there are in-
door track carnivals at Illinois Tech,
Purdue, and Michigan State; while
since the war both Butler and Illi-
nois have dropped their relays from
their athletic programs, but in all
probability they both will be revived
after the country once again returns
to normal.
There should be little doubt in any-
one's mind that the above-mentioned
meets have helped bring indo'or track
to the place it rightfully belongs in
the sports scene. It wasn't so long
ago that when a person asked which
school was Big Ten track champion
you always replied with the collegeI
that won the outdoor meet. Now it's
a different story - the indoor and
outdoor champions are named sepa-
rately (provided the same school did
not win both).
Of course, such meets as last
night's Chicago Relays and the
Cleveland Knights of Columbus
Relays which are to be held next
Saturday night have also done
their bit towards giving indoor
track more prestige. Although last
night's meet was only the seventh
in the history of the Chicago Re-
lays, it still ranks in importance
with such outdoor events as the
Penn and Drake Relays.
THE SECOND noticeable trend is
that these indoor relays are fast
replacing dual meets in the eyes of
both spectator and contestant. Take
our own Wolverine track squad. for
instance. It had two dual meets
during this last indoor season (one
with Michigan State and one with
Ohio State). On the other hand, all
er part of the squad has participated
in the Millrose and K. of C. Games
in New York, the Chicago Relays, the
Illinois Tech Relays, and the Michi-
gan State Relay Carnival; while the
Cleveland and Purdue Relays, next
Friday and Saturday respectively,
will find Michigan participants in
both.
From the public's standpoint, the
attendance alone should verify the
fact that dual meets are on the
decline. This is not hard to under-
stand. In the first place, there are
more schools and organizations
represented in relay meets, and
consequently a higher calibre of
talent. Secondly, the events are of
such a nature as to,be more inter-
esting and exciting to the layman.
The contestants themselves prefer
relays to dual meets, not only be-
cause of the prizes and trophies that
are awarded, but also because team
spirit has more of a chance to show
its value. Then, too, since the com-
petition is stiffer, gaining a first
place in one of the relay meets means
greater glory and recognition in the
sports world.

Special to The Daily
The Wolverine two-mile relay
team kept its record spotless when
it last night whipped Illinois and
Notre Dame in the Chicago Relays.
The quartet of John Roxborough,
Captain Dave Matthews, Ross Hume,
and Bob Ufer. blazed its way to its
best time of the year, 7:45.7. one-
tenth of a second off the Relays rec-
ord.
Ufer came in second behind Jim-
my Herbert in the 600-yard event,
while Matthews placed third in the
1,000-yard run behind Les Eisenhart
and Gene Venzke.
In a great "600" race, Jimmy Her-
bert of the Grand Street Boys Club
of New York, won his third Relays
championship with a kick of speed in
the last half lap to beat out Ufer
of Michigan. Ufer, American indoor
440-yard titlist and winner of the
ITHEWS Knights of Columbus 600, virtually
brushed shoulders with Lewis Smith
k star who of Priarie View College in Texas, in
in the Chi- a duel for the lead, for 2%/ laps until

stumbled and lost his stride 30 yards
from the tape and finished third an

Card Farm System
PayngDividends
CAIRO, Ill., March 20.-(P)-Even
more than in peace-time, the St.
Louis Cardinals' farm system is prov-
ing its value today at the champions'
spring training camp where Mana-
ger Billy Southworth faces the prob-
lem of replacing his war losses.
Three World Series heroes-out-
fielders Enos Slaughter and Terry
Moore and pitcher Johnny Beazley-
are in the armed forces and second-
baseman Jimmy Brown has been
called for his physical examination
with possible induction in mid-April.
But Cardinal fortunes have not
yet been affected to the extent that
similar military contributions have
weakened the majority of the other
major league teams.
The reason is that the Cardinal
farms, while virtually shut down
themselves, have supplied the parent
.club with a group of promising re-
placements. It's perhaps premature
to put the yardstick on rookies in
advance of actual big-time experi-
ence but it's safe to predict, as South-
worth did, that the Cardinals will
have "a very interesting team."
BASEBALLER HURT
Coach Ray Fisher's hopes al-
most took a turn for the worst
yesterday afternoon as slugger
Bob Wiese was hit in the left eye
by a line drive from the bat of
Dick Walterhouse. However, af-
ter a thorough check-over, doc-
tors found no brolen bones. Wiese
is suffering from a lacerated
nerve and should be ready to go
in a few days.
