MIoHIsANs STRONG TRACK TEAM
Feeling at Ann ArbOr that Champion
ship May he Grasped.

ANN ARBOR, Mich, March 16.-While
Michigan men are by no means confident
that their track team can defeat the pick
of the east, when 1t completes foe the inter-
COLLEGIATE at Cambridge. they figure that
with their men competing under eastern IN
tercollegiats rules they will have an even
chance to land the championship Captain
Garrels, Ramey, Hodgen. Stewart and Hull
will be eligible for the eastern meet, al
though barred in the conference by the en-
forcement of the retroactive features Of
the three-year rule.
years, Michigan's strongest department
Is in the distance events, where 1t has the
winners of first and second places of last
years conference half mile, mile and two
mile events. In the half there are Coe
and Ramey, both of whom are good for
better than 1858; in the mile Coe and
Maloney will represent the Wolverines.
fourteen-lap track indoors he ran in
t26H. Maloney took second In the event
in the western conference meet last year,
finishing close to Coe. He ran In 4:9 in
doors last year, while his best performance
outdoors was when he tied Jones on the
first mile OF the four-mile relay at Frank
lin field.
Rowe, last years conference champion,
and Dull, winner of second place, will run
in the two-mile event. While Dull has
never demonstrated that he can run under
ten minutes, Rowe should be able to give
Cocnells great trio a hard race. With
the distance events well cared for 1t is
up to Captain Garrels to land some points
for his team He will be entered in four
low hurdles the discus throw and the
shot put. Fitzpatrick may also decide tc
train him for the broad jump and hammer
throw.

Minnesota and the Conference.

MINNEAPOLIS, March 16.-Accordlng to
John Gleason, president of the board Of
athletic control of the University of Min
nesota, there is an element among the
Gopher students which is inclined to look
with favor upon the proposition of with
drawing from the Big Nine" In company
said to have promised to accede to the
wishes of the Michigan revoutionists II
another big college will join In the move
ment. The discontinued Minnesotans wish
to organize a triangular association COM
posed OF the Gophers, Nebraska and Mich
igan. The Cornhuskers are not in the
western conference and DO not care to
play under the conference rules.
Il think II Will be a good thing for Min
nesota 20 withdraw from the Big Nine and

the conference rules. The three colleges
would be enough to start a new league.
Our schedule Of foot ball games would in
clude Michigan, Nebraska and Carlisle,
and that would be enough for any team to
tackle"
The latest development Of the discomfort
Of the Wolverines was received as a huge
Joke at the University OF Chicago.
The idea Of league composed Of Mich
igan, Minnesota and Nebraska Is ridicu-
lous," said a prominent Michigan alumnus
Gophers have been sworn enemies ever
since the foot ball game of 1903, I'm which
Minnesota held Yosts star eleven to a 6
to tie. The game was very rough, and
many players on both teams were put out
OF business. This contest practically put
a stop 10 all athletic relations between the
two colleges. Then the Nebraska teams
would not make formidable opponents for
the other two members Of the proposed
alliance. The COrnhuskers are not particu-
larly strong in any branch OF sports. Mich
igan Is strong in foot ball, track and base
ball. The only sport in which the Wolver-
ines would meet the Gophers on an equality
would be foot ball. The Minnesota track
and base ball teams would be outclassed.
Geographically the alliance is imprac-
ticable. lincoln, Neb., is about 400 miles
from Minneapolis, while Ann Arbor Is as
far away from the latter place. The
scheme is too Wild TO deserve any notice"

Wills Point to-day. cutting a swath two hun
dred yards wide through the town, killing three
persons and injuring many others.
