Coach Ray Courtright's boys had little trouble beating the Hoosiers, Trak Squad's First 1Vi,11,y Shows , Iawer By BILL LAMBERT As the score 93-11 indicates, the Michigan track squad put on a spark- ling display of power and versatility when they overpowered Western Michigan Saturday night. 1t was not so much the lop-sided score which impressed Wolverine fan1s as it was the individual per- formances the boys turned in. Not only did Elmer Swanson and Bob Gardner snare ten and nine points respectively, but both turned in amazing showings for so early in the season. Gardner's heave of 45'64" was the best he has done in actual competition. Sprinters Show Power The sprints showed that Michigan has much potential power in the shorter distances, with Bruce Blan- chard, in his first intercollegiate start getting to the wire in :6.4 in the 60-yard dash. He just nosed out teammate Bob Nussbaumer who also turned an approximate :7.7 when he placed second to high-stepping Elmer Swanson in the 65-yard high hur- dles. The Hume twins, Ross and Bob, ran true to form in taking the mile run in a dead heat. Their time of 4:21.9 was fast, and will probably be sliced lTwer as the competition gets tougher. Both Bob Segula and Bill Dale climbed skyward with the best form they have yet shown in the pits. Segula, in reaching 13'1.", went one inch hg')er ban he lid in the Mill- rose games. and Dale highjumped to 6'1" in his specialty. Irish Are Trrugh With this many stelar exhibitions shown by the thinclads in their first meet of 1944, the chances for a championship appear to be shaping up. Coach Doherty's charges will be faced with a tougher assignment this Saturday, when they encounter a promisnig Notre Dame team in the Yost Field House. In their first meet, however, the Fightin' Irish were forced torcome from behind i the middle distance events to gain a 62-51 decision over the same Western Michigan team that the Wolverines took with such great ease.

Sidney Mittler will speak on "Production of Female Offspring by Virgin Females in the Greenhouse Whitefly, Tria- leurodes vaporariorum under the In- fluence of High Temperatures." I 1943 Big Ten champs, even though three regulars, Jim Galles, Hugh Wil- son and Bob Gittens, were absent from the line-up. The Wolverines won six matches, lost one and gained one forfeit. George McIntyre, substituting for Hugh Wilson, was beaten 4-3 in his first appearance this year, but his performance was beyond reproach, and with a little more luck, he could have won his first bout. Allen Returns Bob Allen, holdover letterman, who hurt his knee at the beginning of this campaign, returned to action at 165 pounds and won his match on a fall, while John King took over Jim Galles' duties in the 175 pound bracket and got a forfeit when his man was over- weight. However, King then spotted his man'ten pounds and still won the decision from him. It seems that Indiana's grapplers were not the only ones out after the scalp of the undefeated Maize and Blue squad, as the students were also "blood thirsty," and gave the Wol- verines a very poor reception, boo- ing every movement made by Michi- gan, as well as many other unsports- manlike actions. Courtright Pleased "This year's team has looked very impressive and contrary to the thoughts of a lot of people that we were loaded, we went through the sea- son with four sophomores, one re- serve, one transfer student and two lettermen," stated Corky. However, Michigan has rolled aside every op- ponent by wide margins, beating Pur- due, chief threat to the Wolverine title hopes this year, 17-9; Ohio State, 24-6; Minnesato, 25-3; and Indiana 23-3, thereby establishing themselves as the favorites to dethron Indiana in the Conference finals Saturday at Chicago. Two of Michigan's wrestlers, Bob Reichert at 121 pounds and Jim Galles at 175 pounds, former Canter- ence champ at this weight, are both undefeated to date, and will make a strong bid for individual titles in the finals. Galles is a seasoned veteran, but Reichert never wrestled before coming under the tutelage of Coach Courtright this year. Squad Eyes Title "We have our fingers crossed and our eye on the championship, but there can be many slips and the boys aren't taking anything for granted, but will come down and work out ev- ery day this week," Corky added. If the Maize and Blue team should come through with their first Big Ten title in six years, after finishing sec- ond four times in the last five, it will mark the second Conference title that Michigan has registered this year.

The finish was one of the most dramatic in the 22-year history of the tournament--Revolta closing out with a fine 273 for the 72 holes. By- ron Nelson was just one stroke behind coaling to the eighteenth. Nelson, the former National Open champion from Toledo, O., had stag- ed one of the finest comebacks in tournament history to enter the last round today with a 206 to Revolta's 205. Training. Graham's loss is a severe blow to Northwestern's title hopes as this Waukegan flash was the Pur- ple's chief play-maker.

In Saturday night's game against the lowly Maroons, Tom King slipped from first to fifth place in the indi- vidual scoring contest. King scored only six points against Chicago, giv- ing him a season total of 143 points in eleven Conference games.
