THlURSDAY, 1MARCH 2;:1950 THE MICHIAN-DAILY. I_ _ _ FASTEST FIELD EVER: Track Distance Records in Danger Three Pucksters May MiSS Series with Michigan Tech Grant, Brumm, Cragg on Uncertain List; Burford Paces Scorers with 58 Points MOST IMPROVED SWIMMER: Early Mistakes Fail to Halt Neisch (EDITOR'S NOTE: Th;s is the sec- end in a series of stories spotlighting the Western Conference Track and Field Championships, scheduled for Friday and Saturday, in Champaign; nIinois.) *- By BYRLE ABBIN The greatest galaxy of distance runners in the history of Big Ten Track competition will provide the feature attraction for the Con- ference Indoor Championships to be held at the University of Illi- nois March 3 and 4. Leading the mile pack will be Wisconsin's heralded Don Gehr- mann, who posted the best time in collegiate circles this year in his disputed loss to "red Wilt in the Wannamaker Mile. * * * BUT MISSING from the scene will be Michigan's great distance star, Don McEwen. According to Coach Don Can- ham, McEwen, who only two weeks ago set a varsity record of 4:11.7 in the mile run of the Illinois meet, will not be run- ning this weekend in the con- ference championship. Nevertheless Gehrmann will have plenty of trouble in defend- ing his mile crown. Len Truex, OSU sophomore sensation who de- feated McEwen and set a new Fieldhouse record of 4:10.7 last Saturday, seems to be Gehrmann's top competitor. Not far behind is Walt Jewsberry of Illinois, whose best time this year is 4:13.9, Law- ton Lamb of the Illini with a 4:14.8 clocking. Frank Owen of Indiana, Walt D'Arcy of OSU, Shel Capp of Michigan, and Dean Pieper of Northwestern all have consistently run under 4:20 and are not to be considered lightly. GEHRMANN will undoubtedly have to top his 4:16.1 mile of last year to successfully defend his crown. There is a great possibility that ChuckFenske's western con- Fraternity and Residence Hall intramural indoor track practices for the 440-yard dash, the 880-yard and one mile runs will be held on Thursdays at Yost Field House beginning today. Four practices are re- quired for participation in these events. Rod Grambeaux. ference indoor record of 4:11.1 will topple as this top group of dis- tance men vie for the coveted first place. Both Gehrmann's Wanna- maker Mile time of 4:09.3 and Truex's time in the OSU-Michi- gan dual meet top this. twelve year old record. Truex seems to be the only miler in the country that' can match Gehrmann's blazing fin- ishing kick, and this means much in determining both the winner and a possible new record time. DARK HORSES of the race seem to be D'Arcy and Peiper, both of whom have shown great FOR PARTICULAR MEN We feature The personality cuts and short cuts potentialities in their few mile ef- forts D'Arcy has shown good form in the two mile race this year, but not too much is known about Pieper, except that he has run under 4:17 and has possibilities of doing much better. The two mile race will be an- other crowd thriller, mainly on the basis of Wolverine sophomore sensation Don McEwen. * * * MCEWEN'S BEST TIME this year is an excellent 9:06.9 mark made in the Wisconsin dual meet. This established him as the outstanding two-miler in college competition today, along with the indomitable Ge hr mann whose top performance is 0:08. Both of these times top the in- door western conference record of 9:10.7 set by Michigan's Ralph Schwarzkopf in 1940. * * * IT IS DOUBTFUL if Gehrmann will be entered in the race as he will probably defend his mile and 1/2 mile titles. McEwen neverthe- less has top competition in D'- Arcy of OSU who ran a 9:21.8 race here last week. Just behind are Dick Kilty of Minnesota and Michigan's cap- tain, Jus Williams, both of whom have top performances of 9:26. Also grouped close in a bunch are Walt Jewsberry of Illinois, Wolverine Aaron Gordon, and Bob Dellinger of Indiana, all having been timed in the vicinity of 9:27. Not too much is known this year about Bob Rodibaugh of Purdue, who placed fourth in last year's indoor meet, but undoubtedly he can't be counted out. With the Michigan Tech hockey team coming to Ann Arbor this week-end, Michigan Coach Vic Heyliger has more than a tough Huskie sextet to worry about as he prepares his Wolverines for a two-game series with the Hough- ton club. Three Wolverines, Wally Grant, Tigers.Be in Drills; Await PitchingAces By The Associated Press LAKELAND, Fla.-Detroit Tiger pitchers Hal Newhouser and Fred- die Hutchinson became holdouts yesterday. The two mainstays of the De- troit pitching staff were not in uniform as 35 players went through an initial 90-minute work- out under perfect weather condi- tions. The temperature was in the middle 70's. NEWHOJSER didn't appear. He is seeking a reduction in the sal- ary slash offered him. Hutchinson, wanting a bigger raise, reported, was told by manager Red Rolfb that he could' not put on a uni- form, and left. Both pitchers will await the arrival of General Manager Billy Evans as the next step. Evans is expected Friday.. Lennie Brumm and Graham Cragg, are at present on the un- certain list as to their playing against Michigan Tech.c * * * GRANT and Brumm both were injured in the second Minnesota game at Minneapolis last Satur- day, while Cragg is now in the hospital with the flu. If these three are not able to play this week-end, Heyliger will be forced to juggle his line-ups again as he did against the Gophers when Grant was forced to leave the game with a knee injury. In the individual scoring parade Gil Burford's three goals and one assist in the Minnesota series brought his season total to 58 All men interested in intra- mural boxing tournament, finals to be held March 22, are asked to report to the boxing room at the IM Building, Mon- days, Wednesdays and Fridays, 4 to 6 p.m. -Maty Marteooe. points, just three short of Gordie McMillan's record of 61. Neil Celley is second to Burford with 46 points and Grant is third with 31. Ross Smith, top scorer among the defensemen, has 21 points to place fourth.

This is, what Wolverine swim- mer Dave Neisch tells himself be- fore the start of any big race. * * * AND THIS is also the psychol- ogy that has been largely respon- sible, for his becoming what as- sistant coach Bill Kogen calls "the squad's most improved swim- mer." For Neisch, who has turned out to be one of Michigan's best men in the 100-yard free style, remembers when he was swim- * * * big meet. Lined up with swimmers from Ohio State, Michigan State and Great Lakes Training Base, the high school junior was para- lyzed with fright. * * * NEISCH swam his leg nearly ten seconds slower than he had been swimming in practice, but the Chikopi team, with Tom Coates, Mat Mann II, and Jerry Gordon placed second behind the Great Lakes sailors. But since the summer when he first started' working under Coach Matt Mann, Neisch has settled down to serious swim- ming, and he has convinced himself that he couldn't possibly be as frigid with fright as. he was then. Tie following winter, swimming for the University High team, Neisch won the State 100-yard free style crown, and anchored the championship free style relay quartet. Already the improvement was beginning to show. THIS SEASON, Neisch has knocked nearly two and one-half seconds off his previous fastest time for the 100. In the Iowa meet two weeks ago, Neisch was one of the workhorses for the Wolverine squad, swimming three centuries. Dave swam the free style leg on the medley relay team that equalled the Big Ten record of 2:51.8. Neisch lays a good bit of his improvement to Dick Weinberg, former Michigan sprint star. He. says that since he met Weinberg, at Camp Chikopi, he has gained a lot from Weinberg's advice. Following some of this advice, Neisch has been able to steady his stroke, which used to be jerky and wasteful. IN FACT, Neisch's stroke was so unsteady that ex-Wolverine breaststroker Bob Sohl once said, "I can watch Neisch swim and see a whole swimming meet-he swims 40 different strokes at once."
