SUNDAY, APRIU 29, 1945 T HE MICHIGAN DAILY PAGE SEVEN Runners Add Two Titles To Friday Night Laurels Sensational Last Lap Sprint by Bob Hume Edges Out NYU Runner in Four-Mile Relay By HARVEY FRANK Special to The Daily PHILADELPHIA, April 28.-Gaining revenge for last year's mistake, and breaking a jinx that seemed to have it confined to two victories a year, Michigan's track team captured both the four-mile and two-mile relays here today, to give it four wins for the two-day carnival, and also took second in the mile event. In two special events, Gundar Haegg and Haakon Lidman of Sweden were not so lucky, Haegg turning in a 4:12.7 performance to finish fourth in the Handicap Mile, while Lidman hit a hurdle and barely managed to and fourth respectively went along to win his 150-yard hurdle event. see the country. Take Four Events In Penn Relays #taking the Iu4ndi By HANK MANTHO Daily Sports Editor Wolverines Take Third Crown Michigan had to come from be- hind to annex its third relay crown, in the four-mile event. Bob Thom- ason, leading off, followed N. Y. U's Armand Osterberg by a stride all the way, while Archie Parsons, run- ning in the number two spot for the Wolverines lost a little more distance, giving Ross Hume a 25-foot deficit to make up on the third leg. Doss made up the difference on his first two laps, but then was held even by N. Y. U.'s Henry Eck- ert for the remainder of the jaunt, so that brother Bob assumed his anchor chores on equal terms with the Violet's Rudy Simms. Hume Gains 30 Yards IHume sat back and let Simms set the pace for three and three quarter ?aps before starting his kick, but then he moved up from thirty yards back to beat Simms to the tape by 15 feet. His time for the last leg was 4:16.7 compared to Simms' 4:19.4, and gave Michigan it's ninth win in the event since the Relays started. Cornell and Army, finishing third N. Y. U. was also the victim of the Wolverines' comeback in the two-mile relay, although Lady Luck also interferred with a deft touch.( Thomason again led off and trailed the Violet's Eckert by four feet, and Ross Hume, running second, finished his leg 10 feet behind Simms. Spill Aids Michigan Again brother Bob put Michigan out in front in the third leg, aided by the fall of Francis Martin of N. Y. U. as Hume was passing him on the first lap. From then on it was just routine for Dick Barnard to loaf to a 50-yard victory. Michigan's time was 7:56.8, while Bob Hlume had the best time of 1:56.6 for an individual half. N.. Y. U.

ALL'S WELL THAT ENDS WE LL: Yost EndsCareerWithWins AS THE VARIOUS schools indulge in their football drills our attention turns to Carroll Widdoes, who became Ohio State's football coach when Paul Brown decided to go to a professional league after he was releaced by the Navy. While subbing for Brown last season, Widdoes gave the .Buckeyes a Big Ten crown and their first undefeated-untied season since 1916. Ohio officials didn't consider any one but Widdoes for this job when Brown resigned, and though "Wid" had offers at many other schools, he preferred to remain on the Ohio campus. Widdoes did exceptionally well in his first year at the helm, and thus set a difficult pattern for himself to follow in succeeding years. Four of the six veterans composing his '44 Buckeye squad were named on various All-American teams, and he had an unusual crop of fresh- men at his disposal. Although his record last year was an impressive one, it does not firmly entrench Widdoes as an individual coach, for he not only had a veteran squad on hand, but he used Paul Brown's strategy and his plays. LIKE BROWN, for whom he worked- at both Massillon High School and Ohio State, Widdoes stresses conditioning and perfection of detail, and it was these two factors that barely saved the Buckeyes on several occasions last fall. However, these ideas of perfection and conditioning will not always be able to pull him through the exigencies which might arise during the course of a season, and it will be here that his true worth as a coach will be derived. With Ohio high school coaches giving Widdoes their whole-hearted support, as they did his predecessor, he will get a steady flow of per- sonnel, which is as good as the country produces, and if he can fully utilize this material and supplement Brown's tactics with some of his own as an added precaution, Widdoes should eventually establish himself as a first-rate coach. A small fellow, as was Brown, Widdoes played half-back at Otterbein College in Ohio, where he received his degree. His coaching experience previous to Ohio State was with junior high schools and high schools in Massillon. He made.the big jump from a high school coaching job to a similar position at a major university when Francis Schmidt resigned at Ohio State. This resignation of Schmidt's proved to be an opening that Ohio high school coaches had been awaiting, and their combined efforts to place Brown at Ohio materialized, as the pressure was too great for the Buckeyes' athletic director to refuse. .

Yost yielded to the call of the game, however, and returned to active coaching for two final seas- ons, in '25 and '26. Yost's last five years at the helm of the football team, saw him end his career just as he began it. During this time, Michigan squads collected Moore Defeats Runner-U p,Art Kilness, by Foot Bangert, Fisher Share Annual Relay Spotlight DES MOINES, April 28.--UP-)-Billy Moore, Western Michigan College freshman, missed equalling the Drake Relays pole vault record by one-six- teenth of an inch today by clearing 14 feet even-best effort in collegiate competition this season. Moore, the National AAU pole vault champion, topped his nearest rival, Art Kilness of South Dakota, by a full foot. Bill Bangert, opera-singing bari- tone from the University of Missouri, and Harold "Whitey" Fisher, Miami University, Oxford, O., shared spot- light 'honors in the 36th annual re- lays carnival. Bangert registered triumphs in the discus throw and shotput, while Fish- er successfully defended his cham- pionship in the 120-yard high hur- dles and fired the Miamians to half- mile and sprint medley relay tri- umphs. Illinois Takes Three Illinois took honors in the team events with victories in three of the seven relays. No Drake records were broken. Competition was below pre-war stan- dards and the absence of athletes doing a bigger job in the service of their country was felt. s RACKETS ...$ lp THE BEST IN SPORTING GOODS- MOE £part h 'p4 four Conference championships and two National titles, racking up 937 points to 87 for the opposition. Five All-Americans gained national rec- ognition under the "Old Man's" tute- lage, and 33 Wolverine victories were added to the record books. On his 70th birthday, April 30, 1940, he resigned in his capacity as athletic director, and was honored by a testimonial dinner where govern- ors, senators, sports writers, coaches, and most important of all to Yost, a good majority of the boys he worked with during his years at Michigan, 22 Michigan All-American, and 37 captains of the teams he coached all attended to salute the retirement of not only Yost, the man, but Yost the tradition. Yost Represented State When the Wolverine eleven flew to California in that same year for its first game against the California Bears, Yost traveled with the squad and was the State of Michigan's of- ficial representative at the San Fran- cisco World's Fair at the request of Governor Dickinson. "Athletics for All" has always been Yost's slogan and this has resulted in not only varsity facilities, but also one of the largest intramural setups SpringFootball S Drills Continue, Munn Reveals Adverse Weather Has No Effect on Practice In spite of adverse weather condi- tions the Wolverine spring football drills have been progressing success- fully, acting head coach, "Biggie" Munn reported yesterday. Rain and cold slid not aunt the 70 eager gridders as they went through their paces in physical conditioning and signal drills. The backfield aspirants are gradually being taught the fundamentals of the famous Crisler system while the prospective linemen have been concentrating on body hardening and the basics of line play. Last season's lettermen, Harold Watts, John Lintel, and Cecil Frei- hofer are the triangle around which the newcomers are being instructed. These three veterans, with their knowledge and experience of college ball are aiding the coaches immeas- urably in training the new men. In addition, both Lintel and Frei- hofer are trying out at different positions, with an eye toward snag- ging berths in the new slots if they become proficient in them. Lintol, who alternated at center with Watts last fall, has switched to tackle, while Freihofer, who han- died the end pesition, is working cut as a guard. Foltz, Johnson and Albin stand out among the neophites as regards pre- season performances. Foltz is a full- back who hails from Toledo and has been preceded by a reputation which forbodes future successes. Johnson played tackle at Mt. Pleasant, and Albin, also from Mt. Pleasant, han- dles the center berth. - - -t- The perfect loafers and ful ARALAC "special" tou so importar Take your c pastel color, cially uco shade, too- in the nation.

Crawford stated. The De- partment of Engineering Research has grown 500 per cent in volume during the war years. Contracts amounting to approximate- ly $1,350,000 were given the department by private in- dustry and the government, during the period 1943- 1944. "It is expected that following the war this phase of the College of En- gineering will be much more important than it was in pre-war days," Dean Crawford said. In regards to returning veterans, the College will make every ef- fort to expedite their pro- gress so that the veterans may get out into active work as soon as possible. the last space addition, was made, 1764 students, with the college enrollment of 1940 of 2413. "Unless ad- ditional space can be se- cured, the college will be greatly handicapped in at- tempting to handle in- crease after the war," he said. "Complete plans have been prepared for ad- ditions to East Engineering Building, but unfortunate- ly, it does not seem that there will be appropriations to build these during the coming year or two." There will be no radical revision or curricula since techni- cal subjects are relatively fixed in amount and have not materially changed during the war. Reforms are not being advocated by engineering societies to ex- pand curricula outside the technical fields in force at the University since action taken by the faculty of the College of Engineering 20 years ago. Twenty per cent course has been designed especially for the veteran who wishes to take advan- tage of the educational and loan provision of the G.L Bill of Rights in preparing himself for ownership or employment in a business concern. The course is the first of its kind to be an- nounced in this country. Inquiries have been receiv- ed from veterans in var- ious parts of the United States in response to radio and newspaper announce- ments, but it is impossible to estimate how many reg- istrants will be expected. Reports of the course were printed in Stars and Stripes (Paris edition) and letters from the fighting fronts have been received from men asking for more information regarding this four month intensive train- ing course in business ad- ministration. , The first meeting of the course will be in November. Lucky Strike for April 27" was the slogan adopted for the ball. Gene Krupa and his orchestra was featured, and the band leader fur- nished an all-professional floor-show at intermission time. UNIVERSITY students took part last week in, a small-scale United Nations conference to discuss the character of a peace char- ter. The Post War council presented this mock con- ference to determine cam- pus opinion on the prob- lems of a world organiza- tion and to promote in- terest in the issues now under discussion in San Francisco. The group plans to draw up a miniature United Nations Charter on the basis of agreements reached in the panels.
