l. ordinated power and speed,
gave Michigan a working
margin Of 10 points, and the rest
of the Wolverine team rounded up
enough points to win the thirty
third Western Conference track
and field championship today at
Dyche Stadium.
Michigan scored 60la points in re-
tanning the title, its thirteenth in the
history Of the meet, but without the
huge, versatile Negro would have been
well back Of Indiana, which landed
second with 4712. He competed and
placed in four events, winning the 100
yard dash and the high jump, and plac-
ing second in the 120-yard high hurdles
and the broad jump for the greatest
individual performance since the late
Carl Johnson scored 20 points for
Michigan in 1918.
Indiana's brilliant individuals per-
formed heroically, winning OF the l6
championships. The Hoosiers placed in
II events, while Michigan, which won
but two individual trips up the stand,
where Miss Jean Hoch, Northwestern
University's May Queen, gave the win
ners their awards, took points In Is
numbers.
Illinois was third with 42ia points
and Ohio State had "a for fourth. Pur-
due collected 10 points and Northwest
ern had 1917. Chicago and Iowa scored
6 points each. Wisconsin had and
Minnesota 4.
lack KELLER, brilliant hurdler from
Ohio State, accomplished the only
serious record attempt OF the meet.
Urged to the limit by Ward in the 100
yard highs, Keller sped over the dis
lance in 14.1 seconds, bettering the ac-
cepted world record Of l42 seconds,
and equaling the national collegiate
mark set year ago by the late George
Sailing Of Iowa. salngs marx win 1e
offered for approval, and the officials
announced that Keller's performance
merited consideration as a world record.
Four other records were altered, all
of them of somewhat synthetic nature.
Ivan Fuqua, Indianas speedster, bet
tered the conference mark for quar-
ter mile around two turns, and came
right back to nick q tenth OF a second
of the mark for 220 yards around one
turn. He raced the quarter in 48.6.
tenth of a second better than the 48.7
made by Edwin Russell Of Michigan IN
1881. and shaded Archie Hahn's 1908
record in the furlong.
keller also lowered the 220-yard low
hurdles mark again with the around
one turn" clause. He easily outfooted
and outjumped Hawley Egleston Of
Michigan in 23.5 seconds, three-tenths
of a second better than the record set
by Charles Brookings OF Iowa In 1924.
Duane P1lrvis one Of Purdue's foot
ball stars, set the other new conference
record in yesterdays trials. He heaved
the javelin 268 feet 5A inches to erase
the 207 feet 73s inches set by Phil
Northrup of Michigan. Purvis was over
200 feet today, but failed to improve his
earlier effort.
WARDS magnificent work almost
w smothered grand individual per-
formances by three other stars.
Keller took both hurdles, and Fuqua
gave Indiana victories in the 220-yard
dash and the 440-yard run. Fuqua's
equally talented tearhmate, Charles
Hornbosel won the half mile in 1:54.4,
after winning the mile in 4:21.5, setting
up something IKE IccOio 1oI ooaoAe

indiana won some consolation In de-
throning Michigan as mile relay cham
pion. The Michigan team led for two
legs, but Hornbostel gave the lead to
the Hoosiers on the third lap, and they
relinquished it only for second when
Fuqua was fouled on the anchor trick.
He was pushed on the last curve by the
last Iowa man, but quickly recovered to
outrun Teitelbsum Of Ohio State to the
tape. Iowa was disqualified after finish
ing fourth, and Purdue awarded fifth
place The change moved Illinois from
fifth up to fourth place.
Michigan won points in every event
but the discus, pole vault and javelin
throw. Indiana won the 220, 40. $50.

and henceforth will not be on the meet
program, the relay and the discus.
The meet, trimmed up with parade
of athletes and officials, and a ceremony
after each event, was presented before
