COACH DON CANHAM has lots of excuses but few Big Ten cham-
pionships to show for his five years as Michigan track mentor.
Since the youthful Canham took over from Ken Doherty in 1948, Wol-
verine runners have failed to garner a single conference title (either
indoor or outdoor variety) while finishing in the unenviable runner-
up spot on six different occasion.
Almost every year that Canham's charges were beaten out of the
title, some excuses could be offered by the high jumper turned track
coach. One year it was lack of depth, another it was non-existent
pole vault talent. Then there were the disappointing flops before the
finish line and loss of a shoe that cost the Maize and Blue entry two
other crowns.
But behind almost every Michigan setback in the competition
for the blue chips there's been a well-equipped, widely-recruited
,Illinois outfit that has completely stolen the thunder from the
once-dominant Wolverines. Last time Michigan annexed the in-
door championship was in 1945 while a year before marked the
final of 20 outdoor titles for the Maize and Blue. Since those golden
years the Illini trackmen have put away ten trophies symbolic of
league honors and have topped a Michigan team on 13 of 15
title meetings.
The predominant Illini success in the last decade coupled with the
repeated Michigan failure to reach the top is to say the least frus-
trating, and causes many a local track enthusiast to wonder just
what's wrong on the local track scene. Certainly the top-notch talent
necessary for a winner has been present at the Ferry Field and Yost
Field House Athletic plants. Evidently more and better talent has been
flocking to ace conditioner Leo Johnson down at Champaign.
Even in dual and triangular meets, Johnson is one better than
Canham, his bitter adversary. In the last six Michigan-Illinois dual
clashes, Johnson has a 4-2 edge and threatens to make it five vic-
tories when the Illini roll into Ann Arbor tomorrow. Once again the
contest has all the earmarks of being nip and tuck all the way, but
somehow the Illini have the knack of winning the close ones-witness
the 67 3/5 to 65 1/10 squeaker for the conference 1952 outdoor laurels.
* , . .
Repeated Indoor Success .. .
THAT TRIUMPH CAME on the last Illini visit to this city almost a
year ago, the sole recent encounter between the two rivals save
the conference indoor meet earlier this year when Illinois repeated its
1952 indoor success with a convincing 56% to.46 1/6. All told, in-
cluding dual and conference meets, Canham has sent teams against
Illinois 14 times, but almost without exception the Canham forces
have been the victim of bad breaks, lack of depth, and at times just
plain inferiority.
Initiation to Illinois power for Canham was a triangular meet
early in the 1949 winter campaign with the Illini and Purdue. Even
though the Michigan mile relay foursome nipped the Orange and
Blue entry at the tape, the Boilermakers finished 10 yards in front
of the Wolverines in the day's final race to deprive the Wolverines
of the points necessary to top rival Illinois.
In the 1949 Big Ten indoor cavalcade, Michigan faded to a
miserable seventh place finish, its worst showing in years, as
Coach Johnson's combine moved into the third position. Again the
breaks were telling. Herb Barten, conference half mile champ for
three straight years previously, had to drop out of his favorite
event with two laps remaining with a sprained foot.
Just about four years ago, May 15, 1949, Michigan fell into the
good graces of Dame Fortune long enough to hand Illinois its first dual
meet defeat in five years, a 672-64/2 setback on Ferry Field. Hidden
strength in the field events and mile relay gave Michigan that one,
but in the outdoor championships the Maize and Blue slid to sixth,
while Illinois came home fourth.
Despite the fact that the fabulous Scot, Don McEwen, set four
new distance records, Michigan lost another dual test to Illinois a
couple of weeks before the Big Ten indoor meet in 1950. Then seem-
ingly with the league title in their grasp, Canham's hopefuls nosed
out Illinois for the second spot in the championships but lost to the
same Ohio State team that they had beaten by 10 points the weekend
before. The Buckeyes took their only first in the mile relay but still
had the distribution necessary to win.
* * * *
Mile Relay Jinx...
NEXT TUSSLE WITH ILLINOIS that season was a triangular out-
door meet at Champaign with Northwestern as the third party.
Illinois gained a 73-66 victory over the Wolverines as it won the mile
relay, often Michigan's jinx, by two feet to sew up the crown again
on the final event.
A major upset in a widely-publicized meeting at Champaign was
engineered by Michigan in 1951 when the Wolverines won over John-
son's forces, 60 /2-53, in the Champaign Armory. Two unexpected
performances by football tackle Tom Johnson, winner of the shotput,
and football end Lowell Perry, who annexed te high jump, provided
the deciding counters.
-That set the stage for the 1951 indoor championships where
-bad breaks again hampered Michigan into a second place finish
behind the Illini. On that occasion, Chuck Whiteaker, a sure point-
getter, was disqualified in the 880 and Van Bruner tripped on
the last hurdle of the low hurdle semifinals and also failed to
qualify.
Following a triangular meet scuttling at the hands of Southern Cal
and Illinois at Los Angeles, the Maize and Blue could do no better than
fourth in the 1951 outdoor renewal. And they're still talking about the
race in that meet where Michigan's George Jacobi, leading the pack
into the final turn of the qualifying round of the 880, lost his left
shoe, faltered ten yards from the finish line, and finished fourth. Three
men qualified; Illinois copped the title.
In 1952 and 1953 it was much the same story. Illinois swept to
two conference indoor and one outdoor crown. Michigan placed second
In all three meets, excuses being lack of depth, another Bruner stumble,
and a pulled leg muscle of a star sprinter.
The wheel keeps turning, and Michigan keeps missing by ever so
little. Who was it that said a winning team makes its own breaks?

Special to The Daily
SOUTH BEND-Michigan's off-
again on-again baseball team came
from behind twice yesterday to
nip Notre Dame, 3-2, in a non-
conference clash.
A single run in the ninth inn-
ing, resulting from a walk to Dick
Leach, a balk by Notre Dame
pitcher Jim Gibbons and Bruce
Haynam's line single sealed the
win for the victors.
THIS AFTERNOON Michigan
returns to Big Ten action, meeting
the Purdue Boilermakers in Laf-
ayette. Jack Corbett, possessing
two conference decisions, will hurl
for the Wolverines.
Coach Ray Fisher used four
pitchers against the Fighting
Irish, including Ralph Fagge,
GarbyaTadian, Bob Woschitz
Iand Jack Ritter. Woschitz who
tossed scoreless ball in the sev-
enth and eighth innings receiv-
ed credit for the decision.
Performing in 40 degree weather,
Michigan almost fumbled away the
ball game. The infield made six
errors during. the afternoon's fes-
tivities, including three by short-
stop Haynam.
* * *
IN THE LAST half of the
ninth inning, errors by Gil Sabuco
and Haynam threatened to dis-
solve the Wolverines thin one run
lead. After Sabuco fumbled Len
LaRose's leadoff grounder. Dick
Colloton's sacrifice moved the run-
ner to second with one out.
Dick Rosenthal's single to deep
short put runners on first and
second. Then Ritter, pitching for
Michigan, fanned Stan Konopka.
George Kolasa followed with a
grounder to Haynam which was
promptly booted, but when La-
Rose rounded third, a snap
throw by Haynam picked him
off to end the contest.
Notre Dame opened the scoring
in the third inning when Fagge
hit a batter to force in a run.
Michigan, however, tied the score
in the top of the fourth on Paul
Lepley's double and Sabuco's line
smash to center.

The score remained 2-1 until
the eighth when Bill Mogk led

moving Mogk along to third.
After Don Eaddy popped up,
Lepley lashed one back at pitcher
Gibbons who made a good stop.
He temporarily lost his bearings
and when he threw to first Mogk

Michigan, Illinois Track Meet
Highlights 1953 Cinder Action
ByHANLEY GURWIN
Local track fans will have the
opportunity of witnessing the top
dual track meet of 1953 when the
Orange and Blue of Illinois invade
Ferry Field tomorrow for an out-
door meet with the Wolverine
trackmen.
Michigan and Illinois, who along
with Southern California, com-
prise the Big Three of collegiate
track, are by far the class of the
Big Ten, as well as the rest of the
country. Among the list of top
performances in the Big Ten this
year are the names of six Wolver-
ines and five Illini.
CAPTAIN Jack Carroll, Wolver-
ine quarter-miler, has run the 440-
yard dash in the fleet time of 48.1
this season to lead in that depart-
ment in conference.
However, Illini Ralph Fessen-
den has been clocked in 48.2 for
the distance, only an eyelash be-
hind Carroll's time. Geoff Doo-
ley and Grant Scruggs, Michi-
gan cindermen, have the fourth
and fifth best conference times
of 49.2 and 49.3 respectively.
In the mile, Michigan's John
Ross and John Moule have turned
in the best times to date. Ross has
toured a mile course in 4:13.9
while Moule has the second best
effort with a 4:14.6. Despite these
two pace-setting times, the mile
run is far from in the bag, for
Illini WalthJewsbury, two-mile
king, has the. third best 'mile to
Scruggs, Bill Barton, Dan Hick-
man, and Carroll is expected to run
off with the win.
The Illini seem to be sure win-
ners in the 100 and 220-yard
dashes as well as the high and
low hurdles. Willie Williams, who
has run the 100 in :09.4, will
probably take both dashes while
teammate Joel McNulty is ex-
pected to take both the high and
low hurdle events.
Figuring these predictions - to
materialize, both squads would
have 20 points, inasmuch as the
mile relay is worth 10 points for
a first place. From that point on,
however, the meet will be decided
by the breaks. Unusually good
showings, or conversely, poor show-
ing by either squad will undoubt-
edly determine the winner.
