W E ErUA Y, MAY 10, 1944 THE MICHIGAN DAILY !A4 T THRE WBOWN BOMBER TALKS: Wolverines Host to Triangular Track MeetB Louis Calls Rae r Toughest Ever Fought Illinois, Purdue Here Saturday For Year's Only Outdoor Contest Netters Look Good Despite 54 Defeat by Notre Dame Opponent He's i f i 41 I Youig, Kelley Will Be Featured; Ufer, Hirsch Swanson To Compete By HANK MANTHO Michigan's first and only outdoor track meet of the season will get under way Saturday at 1:45 p.m. on the Ferry Field cinders when the Wolverines play host to two strong cinder squads from Illinois and Pur- due. This triangular affair should prove to be one of prime importance and it is very likely that the winner will go on to win the Big Ten champion- ship at Champaign, Ill., May 27, as these three track squads are the strongest in Western Conference com- petition. Evidence of the power of these teams is the fact that all of the champions of the Big Ten indoor meet except three will be running with one of these squads. The Illini, paced by Claude (Bud- dy) Young, freshman sprint sensa- tion, and Bob Kelley, are currently given the nod to capture this meet. Coach Ken Doherty of Michigan, guessing at the final outcome of the battle, gives the Illinois team 61 points, Michigan 54, and the Boiler- makers 44. Illinois Tops in Quadrangular In a quadrangular meet held last week among Illinois, Purdue, North- western and Indiana, the Illini com- pletely dominated the match, wrack- ing up 80 points, with the nearest competition coming from Purdue, which had 49% points. Young, win- ning three of the nine individual events, and Kelley winning two single affairs, set the fast tempo for the thinclads from Illinois. Young's first win was registered in the broad jump as he hurtled 23 feet, 5 inches. He then tier an Illinois track record in the century sprint in the fast time of :09.6. His final feat of the day was to break the existing University record in the 220-yard dash, as he broke the tape --- it ARRO SIR T S at ! 72ert STATE S T R E E T A T L I B E R T Y I . ~4f~ -._ _ I in :20.9. These two sprint marks were especially heartening to the Illiois coach as these feats were per- formed in chilly weather. Young May Rival Jesse Owens The 220 yard record breaking time of Young was only three-fifths of a second under the time that Jesse Owens set as a Big Ten mark while wearing the Ohio State banner. On the basis of his past performances, this Negro flash is conceded the first to have a chance to equal the feats of Owens in 1935, when he smashed records for the 220-yard dash, 220- yard low hurdles, broad jump, and tied the world mark in the 100-yard sprint. Young is also scheduled to run in each of the aforementioned events. Kelley, who ran the mile for the first time in his career, came in first, running it in 4:26.3, as well as taking a first in the half mile. Kelley, whose duels with Bob Ufer of the Maize and Blue in the 440, have featured each battle of these two schools, will again be competing in the highlighted event of the day, if Coach Ken Doherty de- cides to let "Bullet Bob" run against him in the quarter mile. Ufer has always beaten Kelley indoors, but Kelley holds the edge over the "Hose Nose" outdoors. Swanson, Hirsch Are to Compete Although Michigan won the Big Ten indoor crown by scoring an avalanche of 751/ points, 30 points ahead of second place Illinois last March, the rapid improvement of the Illini squad bodes no good for Michi- gan. However, Coach Doherty hopes to have the services of Elmer Swan- son, who won both hurdle titles in the indoor Conference meet, and broad jumper Elroy Hirsch, in an effort to tally a few important points. That may be the deciding factor in determining the victor of this all- important battle. Tip for Wise Guys! The shirts are trim The ties are fine, To be a dapper guy See our Arrow line!

Another meeting of the two teams is scheduled for May 14 at the Naval Base. in a dual meet at Northwestern. Both squads are comparatively weak and should not offer the Maize and Blue any formidable opposition. On May 19 and 20, the Wolverines will play host to powerful outfits from Ohio State and Northwestern. These matches will give a good indi- cation of the Wolverine's strength and victories in this week-end series will stand them in good stead for the Conference championships the fol- lowing week-end.
