RECORDS GOING

Records should be toppled in just
about every event on the card.
Michigan holds six of the Big Ten
standards, Ohio State one, while a
seventh is split.
The Bucks suffered a serious
blow this week when Jimmy Coun-
Silman went into the arme d
forces. The soph holds the Ma
tional A. A. u. breast stroke cham
IpionShip and was figured to break
Jack Kaisley's mark of 2:23.6 for
the 200 yards.
Skinner should retain his title
with Counsilman out. Elroy
Heidke of Purdue is his most dam
gerous rival.
One of the best races of the
meet should develop in the go
when Kio Nakama of the Bucks
and Johnny Patten, Michigan's
captain. tangle. Patten beat
Nakama at Ann Arbor in 2:10.6
but lost to the little Buckeye last
Saturday at Columbus in 2:12.7.
This is the only event these two
are slated to face one another.
Patten is sure pop to take the
100 and Nakama rates the same
way in the 440 where he is al-
most certain to eclipse the present
Big Ten standard of 4:53.1.
MANN'S BEST
Harry Holiday. greatest SWIM
mer ever developed by Matt
Mann, is expected to take large
chunk off the 150-yard backstroke
mark. He has been seconds under
Z the Big Ten listing every time he
has splaShed through the distance
2 this season.
He'll team with Skinner and
: Patten in the 300-yard medley
(which should topple this Big Ten
record also. u. NJ. trios have
broken the record three times this
year.
), Miller Anderson and Frank
Dempsey are figured TO take one
two in the diving for Ohio while
the quartet of Patten, Holiday.
Merv Church and Charley Fries
give Michigan the best 400-yard
relay in the conference.

Big Ten Swim
Tossup Between
u. NJ. and Ohio
BY GEORGE r. VAN

University Of Michigan boasts
two dual meet victories over Ohio
State but the Western Conference
championship in swimming will be
"a tossup between these two teams
at Evanston next Friday and
Saturday.
Matt Mann's Wolverines
splashed over the Bucks at Ann
Arbor $500 and again last Satur-
day at Columbus 43l2 TO 401a.
From here it looks as If SWIM
lmers and divers from the two
schools will just b GU I make a
clean sweep of the events. If this
maintains then the Wolverines will
likely win. If some other Big Ten
school cuts in for points Ohio
State may be the winner as the
Bucks lack the point getters while
Michigan is strong in manpower.

Forester Urges Care
In Out-Of-Door Fires
tcOntinued from First Psse)

tConttnued from First Page)
In the growing season, resulted in
killing all of the trees within reach
OF the heat of the fire. All persons
are warned that the ban on night
fires is still in effect and that dur
ing day time extreme caution must
be observed in using fire out-of-
doors to prevent the escape of
such fires.
Annual And Semi-AnnuaI
Statistics
According to Forestry Depart
ment figures compiled on the basis
OF the calendar year 1912. there
were l73 forest fires which burned
over an acreage totalling 1889
acres, and caused damages total
ling $17,195. The average acreage
per fire was determined as 10.9
acres and the average damage. in
Guiding improvements, $99. Com
parative total figures for l941 are
as follows: Number of fires. 222:
acres burned. 37.737; damage. $37.-
737; average area per fire, 1854, and
damage per fire, $40.
Figures for the year 1943 to July
1 are as follows: Number of fires.
81; acres. burned. 1921; damage
caused, $9,146; average fire, 11.2
acres; average damage per fire,
S101. These figures are much more
favorable than corresponding data
for the same period in 1912 when
they were as follows: Number of
fires, 1856; acres burned, 1910; dam
age caused, s16,655; average area
per fire, III acres and average
damage per fire. $243. No small
amount of credit for the improve
ment in this record may be attri-
buted to funds, forest fire patrol
trucks, and fire fifhting equipment
made available to the department
in cooperation with the U. S. For
est Service through the provisions
Of the Clarke-McNary law and the I
Sixth National Deficiency Act, par
.icularly as pertains the preven-
ion of forest fires within Kent and
Sussex counties which have been
designated as a part of the criti-
,al area of the Eastern Seaboard.
