JOHNSON WINS 4 EVENTS

CHICAGO, June 7.-Scoring in eleven
of sixteen events. the University OF
Michigan track and field team today
won the annual games of the Western
Intercollegiate Conference Athleti4
Association, totaling 44h points. The
University of Chicago was second.
with "a points. and Illinois third with
%, just one point ahead of the ag-
gregation from Notre Dame Univer-
sity.
Overshadowing all team perform
ances, however, was the work OF c.
Z. johnson of Michigan. This ath-
lete started in four events. won all of
them and-in the high and broad jumps
set new conference records. Only IN
the high juml. was he pushed, W..
Paige OF Ames clearing the bar at
feet 4 inch and forcing the big Mich
isan athlete to go two inches higher
to win. The previous record was
feet / x inches. and was made by Rob
ert Wahl of Wisconsin in 1914.
In the broad jump Johnson dis
tanced all his competitors on his first
attempt, but took two more trials and
cleared "a feet and l inch, lettering
the conference record of % feet 11A
inches, which he himself established
last year. In the hurdles he won his
heats and finals with ridiculous ease.
The 90 points garnered by John
son made him the high point winner
of the day. but there were notable
performances also by w. Hayes OF
Notre Dame, who ran the century In
0.09 As. tying the eastern and west
ern college records. and then sprinted
away from his field in the furlong
dash. He ran on a track softened
bit by yesterdays rain and in the
face of a quartering wind.
Defeat in the two-mile race and
failure to finislp better than third in
the relay virtually killed Chicago's
chances of winning the meet
Chicago, however, equaled Michi-
gan's record by scoring in eleven
events.
