MICHIGAN'S IMMORTAL
QUARTET

With Bill Watson, secretary to
worlds heavyweight champion Joe
Louis, member of a selected
american pre- Olympic team as
founding Londoners, it recalls to
mind other bronzed greats OF
Michigan university within the
past is years.
Dehart Hubbard, Eddie Tolan and
Willis Ward were the other three
super track and football aces who
carried the silks of historic Michl-
gan at Ann Arbor to many a vic
tory.
Whenever we think of Hubbard
we are reminded Of the fact that
he more nearly approached in all
around liability the Incompatible
Jesse Owens than any athlete who
ever lived.
O1HER RECORDS
We must lose sight of the fact
that events like the discus and
shotput in which Bill Watson
stands alone are not taken into
consideration in this discussion.
Owens specialized in the 220 low
hurdle, sprints, and broad jump
ing. Both Hubbard and Owens rep
resented the difference between
winning and losing if given any
sort of fair break in relay racing,
also.
For all of Owens kangaroo pro-
pensities in the broadjump, the rec
ord books still claim De Hart Hub
bald the most consistent Is foot
Jumper of all times. From so on up
to the furlong dash, HUBBARD
brushed elbows with the existing
worlds record every time out OF
he box in the great Western con-
terence meets. He was sure1lre
IS second man in the high hurd-
les, an event Owens Stunned.
We've toyed with the idea of just
what Owens would have done TO
the record had he cared to special
ize in a pet event of Huoparos s.
namely the hop step and Jump.
Hubbard was better than 30
footer on his best day, and II you
don't think that's plenty jumping,
you're slightly off your track DATA
The wear and tear of this event
undoubtedly would have ruined
owens as a Splinter and for tnaC
reason, towards the twilight OF MS
list. 49,, - a..
