Harry Gill, head track coach at
University Of Illinois, has n sug-
gestion which might meet with the
approval Of Coach Chas. A. Hoyt,
University OF Michigan. It is to
develop Willis Ward, who sprintcd
and jumped TO fame last Satur-
day, into a docathlon man for the
next Olympics.
Gill had this thought forced
on him Saturday after watching
Ward win the hundred dash, the
running high jump, and finish
second in the running broad
jump and high hurdles in the
! Thirty-Third Western Conference
outdoor track and field champion
ship at Evanston. Wards sterling
performance accounted FOR 1s
points for Michigan. thereby en-
abling the Ann Arbor school e
retain the championship won las
: lyear.
The Illinois coach tiiplss 4ha
e Ward would be able to score NOR
, than 1000 points in five events
the broad jump, high jump, 100
meter, high hurdles, and discuss
throw.
| Jim Bauscr. University of Kan
sas, won the decathlon Mt the
Tenth Olympiad held in Los Ange-
les last summer. Bausch rolled up
score of S462.23 points to break
the Olympic and world record.
The decathlon scoring is based
on records made by Jim Thorpe at
Shc 1912 Olympic meet. Ward has
beaten the record in the hundred
meter dash, the running high
jump, the running broad jump,
and the high hurdles.
The Michigan coach has been
given Ward some attention in the
shot put and the javelin throw.
Ward showed the shot i3 feet and
threw the javelin $50 feet with
out experience or practice. The
coach thinks he can be trained to
run the 1900 meter in good time.
Gill seems TO think that the pole
vault would be the event to give
Ward the most trouble. To pull
his 100 pounds or better over
bar at IL feet might prove the
acid test for the Michigan sophie
more.
Ward proved by his perfor-
nance in the Western Conference |
meet ut Evanston last Saturday
that he has the stamina TO stand
the grueling test of the decathlon.
With the fine start he has made |
as an allround athlete, there is the |
possibility that he could surpass
the record made by Bausch at the
last Olympiad.
