ILLINOIS FAVOR|TE
TO CAPTURE MEET
Places II Men in Finals and
Seems Sure to Win Ninth
Conference Title.

BY CHARLES w. DUNKLEY,
Associated Press Sports Writer.

T DIVA CITY, Iowa, March 8.-Illi-
nois, eight times winner of the
Western Conference indoor track
L and field championship, has its
ninth title within its grasp. The
Illini go into the finals of the Big Ten
meet tonight an overwhelming favorite,
with Iowa in the position Of runner-up.
The competition brings together a
picked field of 261 athletes, one of the
largest entries in the history of the
event.
Illinois served notice of its superiority
by qualifying IL men in the trials last
night, placing two men in the 60-yard
dash, three in the 70-yard high hurdles
and another trio in the mile and half
mile. The team coached by the gaunt
and solemn Harry Gill had an advan-
tage of five qualiflers over its nearest
competitor.
Iowa, Indiana Next.
Iowa and Indiana each qualified six
men, with Ohio State placing five and
Michigan and Chicago four each. Wis
cousin qualified three, Northwestern
and Minnesota two each and Purdue
one.
Indications that records will be
smashed in the finals developed in the
in the 60-yard dash and trio of hur-
oilers tied the Big Ten record in the TO
yard high-hurdle event.
Judd Timm of Illinois, rated as one of
the outstanding halfbacks in the West
ern Conference last year, clipped a
tenth of second off the record of the
60-yard dash when he won his quail
flying heat in 0:06 2-10 seconds. This
brilliant performance also equaled the
American indoor record for the dis
! lance. Tonight Timm will match his
stride with the seasoned veteran, George
| Simpson of Ohio State, former holder
of the conference indoor record for
the distance, and Eddie Tolan of the
University of Michigan, sophomore Ne
gro flash, holder of the national inter-
scholastic record for the 100 and 900
yard dashes.
Tolan, making his debut in Big Ten
competition last night, won his trial
| heat by two yards over Burkart Of Illi-
nois, Keeling off the distance in 0:06 $40
seconds, which equaled the old meet
record.
Three Tie Record.
Crooks of Ohio State. Allison of Iowa
and Hayden of Chicago each tied the
record in winning their heats Of the
| lu-ydTu GRcIlJ. GdCLl NOIl
in 0:08 8-10 seconds, tying the record
made by Frank Cuhel, Iowa's Olympic
star. in 1928.
The meet tonight will be robbed of
some of its color by the loss of three
athletic blue-ribbon championship VIM
ners of the 1928 meet. George Baird
of Iowa, holder of the record in the 440-
yard run and a member of the Ameri-
can Olympic team last year was out
of the competition because OF pulled

mile, were forced out by injuries.

Central High, Washington's only other
entry in the tournament, was eliminated
in its first game yesterday, bowling to
John Marshall High in an extra-period,

Nelson Colley also did some notable

to md as many CLUBS as possible,
If there are any to be found,
that can give the New York
Yankees and the Philadelphia Athletics
a battle.
A run-making team is one kind that
will give them a fight. Another is a
team with an exceptionally strong de-
tense, able to reduce the run-making
power of the leaders. Some such COM
bination might spring up to make it

help but see that this team has ele-

Stanley Harris, the new manager, is
a factor that cannot be overlooked
Never before has the Detroit Club had a
leader of his type. Cobb was domineer-
ing even to the point of cruelty now
and then. Moriarity was all theory
The domineering tactics of Cobb cowed
his men and the theories of Moriarity

them to lose confidence.
Harris has another way of handling
this Detroit team and one of the most
studies of the coming cam

has the confidence of the players al

These Yale Pole Vaulters.

- OMETHING over 20 years ago Gill

record. There may have been q
~ Yale man before him holding the
mark. Anyway, Gilbert was
Olympic champion. Then Bob Gardner
came along and lifted the mark to
higher figures Gardner was intercol-
legiate champion and world record
holder for some years. There were
other star pole vaulters from Yale in
the interim, and then Sabin Carr ar
rived in time to beat ii feet and win
an Olympic championship. Now, as
Carr passes on from college, Yale has
young entry, named Sturdy, who may
set mark that won't be equaled for a
few years before he is through. Yale
has had more good pole vaulters than
any two universities combined, and this
pole-vaulting habit has been big part
of the Blue program for more than 20
years.
What About the Yankees?
~ ALL players down South had more
X to say about the Yankees than
IL any other ball club. And their
opinions were more varied than the
opinions offered about any other big
league outfit.
The Yankees have been different
from any other team in base ball his
tory. They won pennants in 1922. 1923
and 1924. A three-year Is about all
that any club can hope for. AS pre-
dicted, they fell away in 1925 and 1926,
when Washington padded its way to
the top. But where it usually takes
years to rebuild pennant winner, the
Yankees fell heir to three such young
sters as Gehrig, Lazzeri and Koenig, and
in 1927 they were on their way again,
leading the match. Now they have
three more pennant years to add to the
other string, making a total of six pen
nants in eight years, we'll beyond the
mark of any other ball club.
Last season a series of injuries and
accidents almost blocked the road.
