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. CAPT. DAVE MAT ...

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.

Although many gridders have been called to the colors "the big wigs" at the Field House have every inten- tion of trying to put a team on the field next fall if it is humanly pos- sible. The only drawback against spring drill at the present time is the wea- ther. As soon as there is a favorable break in it a call will be issued to the remaining gridders. on campus. Plans are being made to issue equipment about March 29 or April 1. "Then we will know better what we have on stock for next year's team," say the coaches. 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.
