TIME T RIAL~S TIS AF TERNOONy
TOv DECIDE EN"; TRES IN
1IlNOIS MEET
The number of .men Michigan will
send to the Conference trck meet at
Ufrbana, Il., Saturday . ill be :deter-,
mined this afternoon in timxe .trials to,
b® held by Coach Steve Farrell.
It is practically -settled that ohn-
son, hurdler, will make the trip. There
is a strong possibility that Zoellin waulll
run in. the sprints,-:while rss in thej
pole vault, Haig in the high ump, and
Baker in the shot put might be taken
along. Forbes, in the qarter, andj
Sedgwick andl Dnnelly in the distanceI
runs-will dobtess conclude the' Wol-j
verine list of entries.
Farrell this afternoon will hold
tryouzts for the two mile relay .team,
that will run at Urbana.: There are
several men out for this team and
competition..for the positions will be
close. Stohl, Forbes, Donnelly, andj
Sedgwick stand out as the most likely
men fr the quartet. Each man will
run a half mile.
Reolay Team Breaks Reord
Two years ago a two mile relayj
beam coached by Stve Farrell broke
the intercollegiate indoor recrd andj
tied the world's record. This team
was composed of Carroll, Ufer, Mur-
phy,-andDonnelly. in a special match
race with .Yale, the quartet clipped .j
second r so off the frmer collegiate
record. A week before -the recorda
making radar the quartet was de-
fated by Yale in a lse record, the
,Blue ,runners coming close to record
time then.
Although the men Farrell has to
choose from this year are nt of te
same. caliber as those who .wor
Michigan's colors in the record-break-
ing run, still there are ,possibilities
for a fast two mile relay tam this
season. Dnnelly, though not yet in
the 'best of codition, is a better run-
ner -than he was two years ago. Sedg-
wick is not in a class wth 'Carroll or
I Ufer," but he can probably eqal the
time made by Murphy that night.
Forbes and Sthl are new men but are
%apable of half miles in _close to two
mlinutes. ,
Big Ten Teams Out for Relay
Several of the other Conference
team, ea specializing in this two mile
relay event and the time made will"
probably be close to the record. Chi-
cago .has a strong quartet and reports'
from the Windy City indicate al man-
ner of confdence in ths team. 'The
Maroons have several good men en-
tered in the ther events also.
In the dual meet between Notre
'Dame and' Ilinois last Saturday night,
which was wn by Ilinos by the nar-
row margin of three-fourths of a pint,
fast time was made ins several events,
while the world's record fr the 40-
yard "dash indooars was broken, :the
Notre Dame runner navgating the
distance in for and twofifths. se-
oinds: The frm displayed by .the
Catholic runners in this meet has
made Steve Farrell anxous ver the
result. of the Michigan-Notre Dame
dual meet which is scheduled to be
held 'soon..
The Wolverine track mn .have
shown themselves capale 'of fast,
time in some of the races and after
several 'weeks mre of training Michi-
gan ought to be able to compete with
most of the Big Ten teams. What su-
ce the Wolerines will have in the
meet at Urbana is a matter for con-
I ecture solely, for the .runners have.
not been tried under "fire, but it is
safe to say that Steve will have sev-
eral men in close to the leaders, if
not leading themselves, at the. finish '
of some of the events on the card. '

LAY CARNIVAL
Coach Farrell cent his track squad
through a stiff workout yesterday in
preparation for the Illinois relay car-
nival to be held at Urbana, next. Sat-
urday.
Men will be entered in the individ-
ual events, but Steve is undecided
about entering a two mile relay team:n
Owing to injuries the relay candidates
have not had a chance to show their
class as yet. The track mentor plans
to have a tryout at 3:15 o'clock this
afternoon and if the men mnake a
showing good enough to -warrant tak-
ing them to Urbana, a team will be
entered in the two mile event.
Report from the Notre Dame-Ill-
inois dual meet indicate that the
Wolverine dash men will have to
show their best. Captain Mulligan of
the Notre Dame team equaled the
world's record in the 40 yard dash by
running the distance in four and two-
fifth seconds.
