MEMORIAL STADIUM, April
1. 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.

Athletic board members unani

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.

outdoor workout at Memorial

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

15. A third dual meet is tenta

"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

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

learning.
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.
