Flashes, Palladian

in barh ping pong
The Flash in the Pan team was
red hot Monday night as it shel
lacked the Boomerangs in barb
ping pong by 5-0. This sent the
Flashes ahead in league II, with a
two win-no loss record.
In league I Pioneer Co-op won
a close one from Davis Hall, as
the latter fell by 3-2. This win ad
vanced the Co-op boys to a tie for
top spot with ACBC in this league.
The Angels failed to show up for
their game with Dark Horse in
league I, so the ex-basketball
champs chalked up a forfeit win
over their cage conquerors.
In league III Cornhusker Co-op
was in fine form to knock over the
Union Leaders, with a 4-1 con
quest. The Palladian quintet took
it easy to register a win over Eta
Bita Pi by merely showing up.'

MINNEAPOLIS. George
Franck, whose speed afoot sparked
many a touchdown drive of Minne
sota's national football champions
last fall, is lending that speed to
Gopher track fortunes for the third
season.
The Gophers' All-American half
back is the captain and runs the
dashes for Coach Jim Kelly's im
proved track and field entry that
opened its indoor season with a
63-40 victory over Iowa. He enters
his final season of competition
with a reputation as one of the
b.'st sprinters in the Big Ten, his
best times being 9.7 seconds in the
100 and 6.3 seconds in the GO-yard
dashes.
Along with Franck, Coach Kelly
has nine other lettermen and a
number of promising sophomores
whose total performance should
give the Minnesotans a well
rounded team, altho not one that
is likely to be a serious contender
for the championships.
Veterans in sprints.
In the sprints, over the 60 and
440-yard routes, the Gophers are
di'xnding upon Franck, Don
Evans. Joe Hayes and Bob John
son, all letter winners. Evans' spe
cialty is the shorter distances,
while Johnson finished fifth in the
conference outdoor quarter-mile
last spring. Hayes is returning to
competition after a year's absence.
Minnesota also has experience in
the distance events. Art Gill, one
of a pair of identical twins on the
squad, and Jack Rhodes are old
hands at running the mile. In the
hurdles, Bill Benn, who placed fifth
outdoors last season, is back.
Jack DeField, former national
junior A. A. U. pole vault cham
pion, leads the roster of entries in
