CHICAGO, March 3.-The excellent
showing made by the University of Chi
cago track team in the dual meet of
the A. A. y. at Milwaukee on Saturday,
has led Director Stagg to believe the
men have a good chance of winning the
conference meet in the spring.
The Chicago team returned yesterday
morning, after winning the meet with a
margin of q points over Beloit the next
highest competitor. In eleven events the
maroonS won seven firsts, two seconds
and three thirds. Two banners, one for
the meet and the second for the relay
race, together with twelve medals, con-
sttute the spoils that the puphs of Prof.
Stagg brought from Milwaukee.
Director Stagg declares the meet one of
the most remarkable for fast time that
was ever held in the West. In the quar-
ter-mile run Merrill of Beloit, equaled
the worlds indoor record of so 2-5 held
by Pat O'Dea- Fred -Ioloney, in the re-
lay race, clipped one-f1fth of a second
from that record, going the distance in
b2 2-5. In the high hurdles Fred Mo-
loney beat the worlds record, and equal
ed the worlds record in the low hur-
dies. Clyde Blair the star freshman
sprlnter, equaled the worlds record for
the seventy-five-yard dash. Jerome Ma
gee beat the worlds indoor record for
the pole vault.
The half-mile indoor record went to
pieces in separate places on Saturday
night. Bill Moloney, of the First regI-
ment team, who won first Iaurels as a
maroon runner, went the distance in POP
a second lower than Howard Hayes in
door record mark At The same time,
Bill Ufendall, of Notre Dame, ran a
half in POI 3-5 in the dual meet against
Wisconsin. The two men will meet at
ST. Louis on March 8 and go against the
present record for the half mile

ticipated," said Director Stagg. ST had
predicted we would win, but not with
such margin. The meet was a mag
niticent one, and well handled. The
events were nearly all close, and every
Chicago man did all that could have been
expected. In the quarter-mile Chicago
would have won from Beloit had Moloney
entered at the pace he took in the relay
race.
The maroon team, as it stands now.
is made up of about a half-dozen star
men and others who do not quite good
enough work to make the team strong
throughout. Both Michigan and Wiscon-
sin have better balanced teams, and in the
dual meet between Chicago and Wiscon-
sin teams next week I do not look for
the maroons to make a much stronger
showing than at the last dual meet We
may win, but the chances are rather THE
other way. It Is in a big meet, such as
the conference meet, that Chicago's star
men may be expecte~- to turn the tide
In her favor
our men showed surprising strength
in the relay race, and the team certain
ly is fast. In the half-mile race Fred
Horton, who finished second to Bill Mo
loney, made the distance in 2:03, which
equaled the former worlds indoor rec
ord. This shows Chicago strong for the
half-mile. We would be Just as strong
for the quarter if Fred Moloney could
be used in that race. 70
