Thus, the University of Illinois missed out on becoming the third school to win at least four Penn Relays titles in a single weekend' Nevertheless, this group of men, namely Herb McKenley, Marce Gonzales, George Walker, Bill Mathis, Jack Pierce, Bob Rehberg, and (Dwight Eddleman who who the high jump for the second w straight.year), will go down in the history of the Orange and Blue as being some of the most versatile, if not the most versatile, athletes ever to wear the uniform of the Illini. ON FRIDAY, McKenley, Gonzales, Pierce and Rehberg combined to take the sprint medley event going away. The remarkable aspect of this race was the scintillating quarter-mile turned in by McKenley, whose con- sistent form has lifted Illinois' relay teams above mediocrity into the super- ior category. The rangy Jamaican was clocked in :47 flat, just six-tenths shy the world outdoor standard of :46.4. The fact that this time was estab- lished on a slow track, in a high wind and chilly temperature, caused several observers to venture the opinion that the Illinois star could very easily shatter the world record for this event under more favorable condi- tions. Just warming up, the Illinois contingent then stepped off the quarter-mile relay in :41.5, which was four-tenths away from the Relay's record. This time it was Pierce, Mathis, Walker and McKen- ley doing the heavy work. ON SATURDAY, with two titles tucked safely away, the Illini looked like sure bets to walk away with the 880 and mile relay events. No other' schools had been able to match the burning speed of the mid-western sprint- ers, and these two races were their specialties. But misfortune overtook the Illini, when McKenley juggled the baton, and ran outside his lane in completing the exchange. As a result the team was disqualified but the time established in the preliminaries was noticeably faster than that of the winning Navy quartet. The realization of this fact was the only thing sal- vaged from the 880 yd. relay. The mile relay, last on the Penn Relays agenda was run on a plowed, deeply furrowed track. The race was close for the first three exchanges. Michigan's Horace Coleman matched strides with Marce Gonzales of the Illini on the third leg, and things were fairly even when MeKenley got the baton. After that it was all Illinois, as the slender sprinter roared around the oval, fifteen yards ahead of the field. As he crossed the finish line, the clocks registered :46.9 for his 440 leg and 3:18.4 for the entire distance. ONCE AGAIN officials blinked, wondering what will happen when McKen- ley cuts loose in the hot weather of June and July. Leo Johnson, Illini coach predicts that his ace quarter-miler will lower the world record for the 440, break 21 seconds in the 220, and cover the 100 in 10 secpnds fiat. In addition, Johnson is expecting two other sprinters to turn in :9.7 centur- ies and :20.9 furlongs when Conference time rolls around. Illinois power was very much in evidence in the Drake Relays when its "secondstring" mile relay squad ran a neat 3:23 to win that event, thus retaining the title captured in 1945. The on-coming Conference mile run took on added significance when it was announced that Earl Mitchell, Indiana's top ace of pre-war days, will be available for duty. As a preview of things to come, the Hoosier miler beat off the finishing kick of Notre Dame's Bill Leonard in the anchor leg of the four-mile relay at Des Moines, trotting home in 4:19, which is a creditable debut for any miler of Mitchell's calibre. fennis Squad Faces Wayne Netmen Today Michigan's varsity tennis squad went through a brief practice session, yesterday in preparation for the Wayne match today at 3 p.m. on the Ferry Field courts. Coach Weir will use the same four top singles' men, Jack Hersh, Bill Mikulich, Fred Wellington, and Dean McClusky, but may do some shift- ing about in the fifth and sixth spots. 'Ihe doubles' combinations will remain intact with Hersh and Wellington in the number one slot, Evans and Miku- lich playing second, and ending the pairs are Schoenlaub and McClusky. Bob Ryland and Del Russell hold dovn the number one and two singles for Wayne, both of these boys are lettermen from last year. So far this season the Tartars have whipped Purdue, Oberlin and Cincinnati, while losing to Illinois and Ohio State. Weir's men will be out for their fourth consecutive victory of the season and their sixth straight win over Wayne. The Wolverines have won every match since the two teams started playing back in 1932. After today's match, the netmen will face stiff competition from Big Ten teams in the form of Illinois, Chi- cago, Northwestern, Ohio State, and Minnesota. According to Weir, Illin- cis, Ohio State and Chicago will be the teams to beat this season.
