'The hard way' for two reasons:

He still holds the Wesetern
Conference record of 9:10.7 which
he set in 1940, but McEwen will
probably be aiming at that mark
when he competes in the Big Ten
Indoor Championships.
FASTER TIMES have been
turned, in by college men for the
two mile rung but these have all
been run on banked boards. The
most notable of these is the 8:52-
flat turncd in back in 1937, by
Indiana's durable Don Lash. His
best cinder track time, however,
is 9:17.7.
Retu':ning to the first factor
mentioned, however, another
race run in 1937 may illustrate
the importance of stiff comp-
tiaion in a long race like the
two mi-e.

ran his sensational time, Tom,

meet, originally scheduled for
Saturday night, is now set for
this coming Friday afternoon
in Yost Field House. The field
events will begin at 2:00 p.m.

-Don Canham
Wayne and Blaine, both of North
Texas, all ran under 9:05, to be-
come the only college men, in
addition to Lash, ever to have
done so.
Three of these five runners -
the only college men to run the
two-mile in less than 9:05 - fac-
ed each other in daily workouts
at Indiana, and the Rideout
brothers had built 'up a friendly
rivalry from the time they were
in high school.

Spartans Edge
Detroit, 57-54
EAST LANSING-(P)-Michi-
gan State played the role of
"Spoiler" last night by ending a
seven-game University of Detroit
win streak with an upset 57-54
victory to delight 4,275 surprised
Spartan fans.
It was the third MSC victory in
a season that has seen 16 de-
feats.
Spartan forward Bill Rapchak,
a hot-and-cold player, had one of
his sizzling nights with a high of
20 points.
Norman Swanson, Detroit's
high-scoring center, was held to
16 points. The only Titan who
offered Swanson any help was
forward John Kirwan with 14
points, eight of the total from
free throws.

If records mean anything Coach
Newt Loken should by all rights
be plenty worried when his gym-
nasts tangle with the University
of Minnesota this afternoon at
4:15 p.m. in the Intramural Sports
Building.
But Loken is fairly confident
that his acrobats, led by Captain
Pete Barthell, Western Conference
parallel bar and tumbling champ,
and Ed Buchanan, the only man
ever to hold the NCAA, Western
Open, Big Ten and National AAU
title in the trampoline at the same
time, will turn in a creditable
showing against the Gophers.
THIS IS IN spite of the fact
that the team from Minneapolis
brings with it one of the finest
intercollegiate records in the na-
tion.
,The record books disclose that
Minnesota has won seven West-
ern Conference championships
and has never finished lower
than third in the Big Ten meet,
won 28 individual Conference
titles, won six individual nation-
al titles, won two second places
in the NCAA meet and has never
finished lower than fifth since
the national meets were start-
ed in 1938, and. compiled a win-
ning percentage of 80 per cent
in 125 dual meets.
To top this off, Coach Ralph
Piper has led his charges to 100
victories in dual meet competition
in his 16 years with the Gophers,
the only gymnastics coach in his-
