Alpha Tau Omega trackmen tonight rotle the winged feet of Johnny Parkin to the intramural track and field championship on these indoor cinders. Parkin sped to 18.9 points to pace his mates to a 35.2-30.7 mar gin over the runnerup Phi Gamma Delta cinder aggregation. An early ATO load withstood a late Fiji rally, micleused by victory in the closing relay event, for the grand prize. V ictory in t:ie cinuer sweep stakes lifted the Alpha Tau ath letes to within three points of leadership for the Jack Best trophy. Phi Gams still head the p;,ik with 656 points, followed by the ATO's with 653 and the Phi Delta with (500. One Record. Only one record went by the boards dining the evening's leap ing, sprinting and tossing. Ned Nutzman, all-around Phi Gam athlete, utilized his 190 pounds for a 50-S'a shot heave, a foot further than the previous archive. Other records were not jeopard ized with army calls depleting all ranks. Spirit supplanted bright marks this term. After three events, the Alpha Tau lads sported a 19-9 margin over the Phi Gam crew. Scat tered fourths and fifths kept the Fiji trackmen in the race, how ever, and they won the closing relay event to further close the gap. (.Vjnrd dasl.: Won hy Parkin. TO: nd, 4nkt, M( Allia; third.

Trio lo Texas Athletic board members unani mously approved in a meeting last night the proposed Cornhusker triangular competition with Okla homa and Oklahoma ,A & M on the Aggie cinders April 17. Approval was also given for Vic Schloich, Howard Debus and Coach Ed Weir to trek to the Texas re lays Saturday. "Vic will enter the shot," said Weir, "and Debus will compete in shot, discus, javelin and pole vault." Schleich. consistently around 51 feet with the shot this spring, is touted by Texas newspapers as a favorite in the iron-casting event. One Texas sport sheet carried a lengthy story on Debus, compar ing him with "Beefus" Bryan, the huge Texas university vaulter of several years ago. The trio departed for the Loiu- Star meet early today. Warm Weather Aids Gophers . . Cindernien MINNEAPOLIS, Minn. April 1. -Beautiful weather greeted Min-! nesota's track team vestcrdav when the cindermen got their first outdoor workout at Memorial Stadium. The turnout for the official spring practice opening was small, but Coach Jim Kelley felt that eligibility of freshmen may help to brighten the prospects. Th Gophers will participate in five meets. Their first competition will probably be forthcoming in the Drake Relays April 26 a. .a li. Following this the squad will travel to Chicago where a five team meet with Indiana. Purdue, Wisconsin and Northwestern is scheduled May 1. A week later, the season's only definite home dual meet will take place with Wisconsin furnishing the ' opposition. The squad will dose the year with the B'g Ten championship events May 14 and 15. A third dual meet is tenta tively fe'-t with two Big Six con ference squads, Nebraska and Iowa SilitA f.r l.tn nwitith :if AVnes. Outdoor workouts will continue daily as often as weather permits.

"When sprint: quarter rolled around, ecryone wondered uhi.1 has happened to the Minnesota athletic teams. Men are getling scarc e on the campus (as you women know) ami !pher athletes just don't come a dime a dozen any more. 4 "Nevertheless, sports are faring surprisingly well, under the circumstances. The armed forces naturally cut into the Gopher ranks, but teams this quarter are just as good or even better than an average season. "The reason for this is that many of the athletes are m the navy or marine reserve and will probably not be called until after the end of the term. I'reshnien became cliiiible for varsity competition, a further measure to save collegiate sports during wartime. On the Intramural scene, men are beciiiuinir more physically-fit minded and have taken increased interest in all forms of sports. Bos Gridmcn Drill Timing . . . HilleLrainl Hark BLOOMINGTON, Ind..

According to Bill Fcldhouse, the boys have been shaping up fairly well, with Jimmie Dewar looking fine on the ground plays. All-American Billy Hillenbrand looks his usual self in spite of the long lay-off. Red Faugh t has been doing some good blocking and pitching, and is putting in his bid for a slot on the squad. Physedders note: 93 per cent of the student body at Michigan feels compulsory physical education should continue after the war. Many of them want it for only two years, however. J-n-- v.

That was the word from Husker grid tutor, Glen Pres nell, Thursday. "Since all hopes for that Missouri-Nebraska spring game were recalled, our attendance has dropped to the point where we can't muster nearly enough men for two teams. So I guess we'll have to continue playing touch football." Attendance this week has anged from 14 to 20 candi dates. Coast Frosh .
