= breaking performance in the
440-yard dash, Notre Dame to-
day won the annual Central Inter-
collegiate Conference indoor track
meet, nosing out the well balanced
Michigan Normal team, 26 ITO to
% Clio.
Marquette finished third, Kansas
State Teachers fourth and Drake uni
versity, fifth.
Wilson, member of the 1928 Cana
dian Olympic ream, ran away from q
fast field in the quarter mile to DreaK
the existing world indoor record oy
three-tenths of a second. His time
was O:4e.3. Tom Halprin's record time
at Buffalo, N. Y, in 1913 was O:49.o
seconds.
Wilson, grabbing the lead from the
start, led Arnold of Michigan Normal
who finished second, by Is yards at
the finish.
Many meet records fell as the IA
teams battled through the afternoon.
Ralph Metcalfe, Marquette sprinter,
equalled the world mark of 6.2 seconds
for the 60-yard dash.
He nosed out Capt. Bill Mccormick
of Notre Dame.
Meet Mark Broken.
Charlie Dues, giant Negro, from City
College of Detroit, broke the meet rec
ord in the shotput with a heave OF Al

great sprint on the final lap to beat out
Michigan States national champion by
yards.
Notre Dame scored in every event ex-
cept the high and low hurdles. Weak
ness in the mile run, high jump and
shotput cost the powerful Michigan
normal team the meet.

CARDINALS BESET
BY TRIALS GALORE
Stars Hold Out, Martin Not
Hitting, Dean Fails, but
Street Is Confident.
BY ALAN GOULD,
Associated Press Sports Editor.

- T. PETERSBURG, Fla, March
- 12.-Aside from the unex-
~ pected blow the weather
dealt this week to all the
major league base ball clubs
training in the South, the out
standing wallops appear so far to
have been absorbed by the world
champion Cardinals.
1t was embarrassing enough when
John Leonard Pepper Martin struck
out three times in his first game of
1882. Likewise, it was disconcerting
when Jerome Herman Dizzy Dean, of
whose pitching prowess so much has
been broadcast, fell a victim to the
Athletics barrage of home runs, and
the AS wound up with two triumphs
in the first three exhibition games of
the Spring world series.
The situation became actually mortify-
ing, however, when st. Louis was hand
ed the whitewash brush by Cincinnati,
the cellar club of the National League.
Card Holdouts Stubborn.
On top of all this, Charley Colbert,
the Shortstop that the Cardinals need
no more than their right eyes, has re-
mained the most stubborn of hoIdouts
So has Chick Hafey, the league batting
champion.
The chain store has its virtues, but
the present situation demands the re-
turn of the Cardinal regulars in full
force II they are to escape further an
noyance In Florida, and, what is more
important, avoid being short of form
for the seasons opening. Ford and
Delker have not made the folks around
Bradenton forget Frisch and Colbert.
Already, other National League clubs,
girding themselves for one of the cir
cults bltterest seasons, have caught
encouragement on the rebound from the
showing Of the Cardinals in early trials.
Brooklyn, not far away, has manu-
factured fresh hope under the rigid
regime of Max Carey. The Dodgers
no longer are mere pleasantly in the
grapefruit belt. They act like serious
group of athletes, instead of just the
life of the party.
From far off California come the
echoes of serious gestures by the New
York Giants and Chicago Cubs Sight
unseen, many of the experts already
are picking the house of McGraw to
make IL very tough indeed for the
Cardinal crew.
Street Not Worrying.
What prospects so far have the
Cardinals of offSetting the loss of
Burleigh Grimes or of finding a utility
infielder as handy as Andy High?" they
are asking. Grimes was their ace last
year when it came to the critical games
with leading rivals"
Gabby Street is willing to let the
alarm be sounded so long as he is con-
vinced he still holds aces back to back.
His club has barely been at half
strength so far in exhibition games,
minus three-fourths of the regular in
field, Jimmy Wilson behind the bat and
Chick Hafey in the outfield.
I'm not worrying" says Street. an
feel happier when I see fellows like
Colbert here, but we still have a month
to get going. We haven't been hitting
and the weather has turned bad. When
the gangs all here we will be ready
to CO."

)HICAGO, Ill, March 12-Run-
ming the fagtest mile ever &C
complished in the Middlewest,
Henry Brocksmith of Indiana
opened the Western conference indoor
track and field championships tonight
with a record-smashing victory in the
event setting a new mark Of 4:l2 5-lO.
Brocksmith smashed the conference
record. clipping lilo seconds off the
mark hung up by Dale Let's, Chicago,
a year ago 1t was the third fastest col
lege mile ever run, indoors or outdoors.
The Hoosier greyhound stepped into
the lead at the start and maintained
it to the finish, breaking the tape nearly
80 yards ahead of Woolsey of Illinois.
One Of Six Fastest.
Brocksnlith's performance was the
sixth fastest mile ever run IN America,
collegiate or otherwise. His victory
stamps him as a leading contender for
OLYMPIC honors. He reeled of the first
quarter in go, the half in 2:05 and
three-ouarters in 800. He finished
with a magnificent spring which car
ried him past the judges with an in
creasing lead over Woolsey.
After smashing the record for the
mile. Brocksmith, the amazing Indiana
runner. came back an hour later to
crack the record in the tWo-mile run,
knocking eight seconds off the mark
set by Chapman of Wisconsin eight
wears ago. He cut loose three laps
from the finish after laying back in
third place, to win in 9:l8 4-lO.
Don RenWick of Michigan tied the
world indoor record for the 60-yard
dash by defeating Thompton of Mime
sofa by 4 inches in 0:062
Thompton was coming like shot
and probably would have caught Rem
wick in another jump Jack Campbell
another Wolverine, was third.
other Records Broken.
Clarence Mum, the big Minnesota
guard of all-American foot ball fame,
ioined in the record breaking by tossing
the 16-pound shot out into the atmos-
phere for a distance of 48 feet 911
inches. This eclipsed the previous con-
ference record established by Sammy
Behr of Wisconsin by a quarter of an
inch.
Not to be outdone in the record
breaking, Capt. Edwin Russell of Mich
igan. defending 440-yard champion,
clipped a tenth of a second off the
quarter mile mark Of 0:50l hung up by
Baird of Iowa In 1923. The Wolverine
trailed Fuqua of Indiana throughout
the first lap, then cut loose with a
burst of speed which carried him 10

counted for the other cracked record,

Wentworth Lobdell Of Iowa set two
new marks in the fancy diving event,
one by winning the championship for
the third successive year, and, second
ly; by piling up the amazing total of
1888 points, edging out Dick Degener
OF Michigan by little more than z
points.
The Wolverines won five first places

hrsts and Iowa one. BY virtue of sew

ished fourth with IL points and Ohio
and Illinois tied for fifth with each.
Purdue. Chicago and Indiana failed to
score. while Wisconsin was not repre-

Wilcox and Highland. both of North

gether in the 100-yard free-style event
that several judges called 1t a dead heat,
both clipping eight-tenths of second
on the old mark. However, split-second

The Nationals last season

The big Slugger from the White

not illogical to anticipate his

upward of a score of battles.

Washington sought that right

If the Indians infield again
