The Big Tens Big Three" on track and field.
 In other words, meet DeHart Hubbard of Michigan and Larry Snyder and George Buthrie, Ohio State.
 As all-round athletic aces they're just about the class of the Western Conference. They're three of the best the middle west has gazed upon in some time.
 Hubbard is Michigan's trump card. And what the ebony-hued star is 10 the Maize and Blue, so are Snyder andGuthrie to the Buckeyes.
 Hubbard, as you doubtless know, shines in the broad jump and 100- yard canter. He's cleared 25 feet or over more times than any athlete in history. In three years of col legiate competition he has been de- tedted just once.
 If there be anyone capable of beating Legendre's world record mark of 25 feet, 6 inches 1t is Hub bard, Olympic winner of the event last year.
 In Record Time l Hubbard has been clocked in record time in the century dash. | He has also made the distance in i 3 4-5 on several occasions. Last winter he equaled a pair Of world indoor marks over shorter routes
 The colored sensation is also a good hurdler, He's taken the high ! sticks in close to Is fiat. Of late however, he has sort of deserted the timher-topping event for the sprints. Looks like wise move. too.
 Snyder and Guthrie are murders par excellence. They also star ir the high and broad jumps. Car pole vault as well.
 Guthrie, likewise, is an Olympic point-winner, placing in the higr barriers at Paris last summer. H. and Snyder are consistent around , seconds, Each has done better That's fast time, you must admit They're equally speedy in the fur long event.
 snyder can high jump over si, feet. Guthrie's good close to tha hgure' Both are pretty certain . placers in the running broad tun, , whenever they start.
 One Of the greatest all.reund sth } Ie'es the Big Ten ever produce, - was Carl Johnson, Michigan celeb . rily Of few years ago. Johnso,
 was even more versatile than eithe ' Hubbard, Snyder of Guthrie. Johnson was a sprinter. hurdlel
 high and broad jumper. As
 Sprinter he confined most of his sc ] tl'l'ies 10 the short indoor event,
 '3ut he could turn the hundred i
 exceptionally fast time, too. Best Since KraenzIein q We well recall the 1919 Big Te o outdoor classic when Johnson, com o p"ting in his final meet for the Wo I 'erines, took down four firsts-c I points
 . He won the high and broad tumr and both hurdle events, setting ne 1 conference marks in the first tU named. Tn other words. he had nerfec' day winning every event n which he started.
 N Johnson was better than ,i, . foot man in theyhtgh jump. eoul V Surpass 24 feet1n the broad and VI, good for 15 seconds in the his
 hurdles and 2S in the low. 2 Johnson was perhaps tn. mo versatile athlete since the days c Alvin Kraenzlein, the Penn ac. some 25 years ago.
 o But getting back to Hubbar Q snyder and Guthrie. They're |, Q deed pretty nifty trio-three Of il . best since Carl Johnson passed O n Of the sportiye spotlight And three chaps who are oui - certain 70 have something 10 sl about the outcome of the westeI
 Conference championship this Sc son, which will be decided at Colur bus this weekend. ,s They're the Big Tens "B Y. Three"
