tition yesterda.y from thec varsity
relay teama of Ga rth livliredall,
George Jacobi, John Lindquiist-,
and Bob Thoma r~son.
Although the varsity won the
race, the record wvill go in the
books, because freshmen are not
allowed regular competition un-

fore can record only pracvtice

And this is what's so encourag-

the varsity two-mile relay mark
was set, and Brelsford, running
for Ohio Wesleyen, later won the
National cross country champion-
shiip.
But of the eight men who ran
3n the two relay teams yesterday,
only Thomason will not be avail-
able next season. This means that
Canham will have seven half-mil-
ers who are capable of running
winning times.

La,,t year with this same pre-
seasoni schedule, Michigan
emerged from their southern
trip r'ather shakily, victors in
only one ouit of the three ° grape-
frmuit league" contests.
Coach Bert Katzenmeyer ex-
pects Duke and Wake Forest to
pr'ovide the stiffest competition on
the southern trip.
Varsity golfers will not begin
their regular schedule until April
23, when they meet Ohio State
University at Columnbus.

Ray has never been an optimistic coach, but he does have his
worries this year. There are quite a few familiar names missing from
the roster that brought Michigan a share of the Big Nine title last
May,. Jack McDonald, whose fancy stickwork can't allow fim to be
overlooked, and Lefty Hal Morr'ill are making a bid for first base,
the position vacated by Jack Weisenburger . . . McDonald, wvho is
in his second week of practice after finishing out the hockey season
at Colorado Springs in the NCAA tourney, drew two successive walks
yes terday afternoon after sending the right fielder deep for one of
his powerful blasts...
Jack was quite perturbed after his second draw and good-
naturedly sneered at the mound, "Afraid of me?" The moundsman
made up for that one, whiffing Mac the next time around ..
Pete Palmer, who is slated for the number two position in the
receiving department behind Capt. fial Raymond, was taking his
turn at the platter yesterday, but :Pat Morrison was doing his
leg work on the paths . . . fete is still suffering from a, spiked
knee received in the opening outdoor' drills last Friday .
Koceski is another one of the partially disabled list . .. The star
halfback on Michigan's national championship grid team tagged one
that would have been a sure three-bagger but for his injured leg..
Leo loafed his way into second on the drive . .. Lanky Bill Taft did
a commendable job on the mound.. . . It wasn't until after he
left for the showers that the 'B" squad began to tee off . . . Fisher
was slightly worried about the performance of Dick Smith, one of
Michigan's two promising portsiders . . . "Dick had a lot of stuff
yesterday." Fisher said, "but he couldn't find the plate."
Ted Kobrin's fielding around the hot corner and his showing at
the plate left little to be desired. . . . The bespectabled third-sacker
came up with some fielding gems in the afternoon stint and was
rmore than satisfactory with the clubs.

BE4IN\ v-,(A TE 949 season, a
meeting of t he Mid-west sailors
was held Feruiiary 12 and 13 at the
Union to draw t up a spring and
summer regaittla schedule for the
Mid-west, elect officers, amend
the constitution and revise the
rules for the conduct of a regatta.
At that tine, the Association
decided up ion the formation of
an advisory board of faculty ad-
visors and experiienced yachts-
men to help run the M.C.S.A.
more smcoothly. Prof. Frank. U
+Copley isktie Michigan member
of this top management group.
Four regattas will be sponsored
by the Michigan Sailors with
Whitmore Lake the scene of ac-
tion.
The first meet is the Michigan
Invitational slated for April 23 and
24. *Schools participating in this
affair will be Michigan, Bowling
Green, Knox, Indiana, Oberlin,
Illinois Tech,, Cincinnati and Pur-
due.
NO IRE DAME'S buccaneers
will ply against the Wolverines
April :30 and May 1.
The third meet here at Mich-'
gan is on. May '7 and 8 for the
Mid-west Championship elimi-
nations that will decide the en-
trants for the Nationals. The
Mid-west has been divided geo-
graphically into three divisions
with the ,other two meets sched-
uled at Ohio State and Wisco'n-
siin.
The teams to race at Michigan
are Michigan, Michigan State,
Bowling Green, Oberlin, Indiana
and Purdue.
The Mid-west Championship
Regatta on May 21 and22 is the
final home sail sponsored by the
Maize and Blue sailors. The schools-
attending this meet will be the
three winners from the three geo-
firaphical areas named above.

It was Minnesota, Illinois, and
Michigan all the way in the Big
Nine gymnastic meet held here
Saturday.
Out of a possible 154 points,
these three schools piled up all
but 16 as they took the first three
places in team scoring. Fr'om the
other four schools com'peting, only
Bruce Sidlinger of Iowa was able
to -place as high as third in in-
dividual events.
A COUPLE of sophomores gath-
ered most of Michigan's 35 points
with firsts in tumbling and on
parallel bairs being earned by Pete
Bar thell, while Ed, Buchanan
topped the hine coin]pet ition on the
trampoline.
Barthell w astihe man whom
the judgeYs thoughit "most per-
fect" of the pert ormers in in-
dividual events, as they awartied
him 283 p~oint*, in tumnbling with
a perfect score being 300.
With 282 points on the flying
rings, John Sharp of Illinois was
second and the same Barthell tied
Illini Joe Calvetti with 280 for the.
next highest point totals.
All the coaches felt' that the
mewet was run off very smoothly
and had only the best of compli-
nients for the job done by Newt

Loken, Wolverine mentor and head
of the show.
AFTER SATURDAY'S per'form-
ance of Bar'thell and Buchanan,
Fritz Crisler gave his okay for
them to go with Loken to the
National Championships to be
held April 16 in California.
The next competition for
which the boys are now practic-
ing is the 'Western Conference
Open Meet, being held this Sat-
urday at the Navy Pier in Chii-
cago.
Michigan will be one of1.', en--
tries, which include all t.lie 1-hg
Nine schools, Michigan itae, 'irii-
cago Univer'sity, Kent, tat hImi-l
versity of Ohio, and Nebrarska,_
