Johnson, of Mich,
Should Be a Star
In Relay Car'n.iv Al

johnson, of Michigan, the most noted
athlete OF the West is at his old tricks
again. Last week, competing against
the pick of Notre Dame athletes, he won
the high and low hurdles, the short
dash and the high jump. Notre Dame
scored twenty-three points, of which
johnson alone accounted for twenty.
He is a whole track team in himself.
for if they had had broad jump, he
could have make it five tirsts with lust
as much ease.
johnson will compete at the Pennsyl-
vania relay carnival next month and he
should be central figure on both DAYS.
On Friday he will run on the sprint
medley team, which event Michigan
hopes to win, as the Westcrners have a
good Splinter in Buell. or Cook, crack
ing quartermiler in Butler and star
half miller in Sedgwick. In ordinary
years they would be the favorites, but
Chicago, Pennsylvania, Dartmouth, Har-
ward and Princeton should also have
strong sprint medley teams so that a
new record is quite possibility.
Michigan is due to cut quite a swath
at the carnival as it will get its share
of the championship relay honors, while
Johnson should win many points in the
high hurdles, the high jump and the
broad jump. Johnson is always good
for six feet in the high jump, while his
broad jump mark of % feet IL -
inches last year at the Western Con-
ference Championships was the best
showing Of the year.

Cornell Track Team
Not Up to Standard
In Opinion of Coach

ITHACA, N. Y, March 8.-The last
month of winter track practice at Cor
nell finds Jack Moakley with squad of
promising material, at least compared to
last years group that swept the board
at the annual championship meet,
though not up to the standards of the
squads that represented Cornell before
the war.
The Ithacans have been handicapned
somewhat by the absence Of any winter
meets, and Coach Moakey. who has
been suffering for weeks from colds, fol-
lowing influenza, has not been able to
give close personal attention to the men
as usual, but with the opening of spring
Cornell expects a track boom
The squad, as Moakley sees it, is
weak in the weight events and high
promising material in the other events.
Besides Shackleton, who leads the
sprinters, Moakley has Coltman and
Dawson, two fairly fast men, and Rob-
inson, Kessel and Beckwith Shackle-
ton placed in the hundred at the inter-
collegiates last yeear and will be Cor
nelps mainstay this spring.
In the 440 and $50 Moakey has one
first rate man in Mayer, who finished
second in the half at the intercol-
legiates. Gateley and sophomore of
promise and Coltman. who ran on the
team last spring, make up the balance
of the 440 squad. while Oleary, Gateley,
Ruoff, Wilson and Wells are out for the
half-mile.
Another man who should figure in
r IN
back from France. McDermott won his
C on the championship cross country
team in 1916, and is promising miller
and half-miler. Oleary, who will run in
the half and mile looked good while
sophomore in college before the war.
