Wolverines Out to Cop Relays Here

Appear as Biggest Threat Amorig 18 Schools in Meet Saturday. The University of Michigan, boasting one of the greatest track teams

in the country, probably will extend. its current winning drive Saturday

night when it defends its Butler |

Indoor Relays title at the Fieldhouse. At the University of Chicago last Saturday the Wolverines eased through their sixth consecutive Big Ten indoor track championship. Michigan is a by-word here in Indianapolis, having won the Butler Indoor Relays title five consecutive years, and Coach Charles Hoyt is bringing 34 athletes to defend the championship. The entry list for Saturday’s track carnival now numbers 18 schools.

Two hundred and ninety-eight ath-|.

letes have been entered to date in the 15-event program that will see some of the country’s outstanding track and field men in action. Entries close Wednesday, midnight.

The Complete List

Schools entered are: Indiana, Michigan, Ohio University, Western State, Kansas State, Kansas University, Ohio State, Loyola of Chicago, Toledo University, Indiana State, Michigan State, Notre Dame, Purdue, University of Missouri, Wisconsin, Pittsburgh, Lincoln University and Earlham College. A few records are destined to fall. It is probable that Michigan will eclipse its own record time in the University one-mile relay. At the Big Ten meet last Saturday the Wolverines were timed in 3:18.09, approximately two seconds faster than the Relay record made here in-1937. Milt: Padway, Wisconsin's pole vaulter, is expected to excel in his department by a wide margin. The Butler Indoor record reads 13 feet 67%: inches, and Padway cleared 14 feet 13. inches in the recent Big Ten carnival. Heye Lambertus’ time in the 60vard low hurdles, set in 1934, is endangered because of the galaxy of timber toppers entered this year. Included in this group are Dave Reidy, junior from Notre Dame; Elmer Gedeon, Michigan; Steve Gutting, Purdue star who recently equaled the world’s indoor time for the 60-yard high hurdles, and Stan Kelley, another Michigan star who finished first in the recent. Illinois Relays. Gutting is an outstanding hurdler and may shatter the high hurdle time for the 60-yard distance.

* Owens’ Marks Appear Safe

Two marks set a few years ago by Jesse Owens, former Negro star of Ohio State, probably will survive this year’s competition. Owens in 1936 established a broad jump mark of 24 feet 11 inches and the previous year he set the present time in the 60-yard dash with :6.1. The outstanding event on this year’s program will be the special one and one-half mile run in which Don Lash, Indiana’ State Police; Walter Mehl, Wisconsin; John Munski, Missouri; Gregory Rice, Notre Dame, and John Halla, Yankton, College, have been entered. sh is the premeet favorite but ass Munski has been showing up well recently. In Baltimore last Saturday he broke Glen Cunningham'’s flat-track mile record by one 2nd one-half seconds to establish a time of 4:135. Pe Notre Dame and Indiana are gunning to head cff the Wolverines. Indiana has not annexed the crown

; . since the first running of the relays

in-1933. Notre Dame this year has produced an exceptionally strong team. The Irish thinlies annexed the Central Collegiate Conference meet last Saturday.

Michigan Wins Sixth Straight Crown

CHICAGO, March 13 (U, P).-—-Michigan’s Big Ten track champions presented half their farewell gift today to Coach Charley Hoyt, who resigned in favor of a job at . Yale. The one-half was the Conference indoor championship—an all-time record of six straight—and the other half will come next June when the Wolverines go after another titie in the outdoor games. Instead of the expected dog-fight with Wisconsin and Indiana, the champions set two new Conference records, fied one American indoor record and rolied up 41%; points to 241; for second place Wisconsin. Big Bill Watson, Negro captain of the champions, bettered his 1937 record on three tosses in the shot put and finished with a new record of 51 feet, 8% inches. The mile relay team of Phil Balyeat, Warren Breidenbach, Doug Hayes and Ross Faulkner set a record of 3:18.9, beating the old Michigan mark of 3:20.3. Elmer Gedeon came from behind and tied the 70-yard high hurdles indoor record of 8.6 seconds. Team scores: Michigan, 41'2; Wisconsin, 24%; Indiana, 20; Ohio State; 18; Purdue, 11; Chicago, 914; Northwestern, 915: Iowa, 7; Illinois, 6, and Minnesota 's.

Notre Dame Retains

Central Conference Title SOUTH BEND, March 13 (U. PJ. —The 1939 indoor track title of the Central Collegiate Conference remained right at Notre Dame today. A powerful Irish team, led by junior hurdler Dave Reidy, who tied ‘two Notre Dame records Saturday, easily retained its championship from a field of 15 Midwest universities. ‘ Scoring in every event, Nolre Dame piled up 45 points. Marquette was second with 32, Pittsburgh had 28 and Michigan State was up among the leaders with 17. -

You wouldn't believe that a fellow could talk ‘about Buddy Baer for an hour, but Hoffman did, and before he was finished he was. making estimates as to how much Buddy would bank as heavyweight boxing champion of the world. When Ancil’s conversation soared into this high realm, I pinched him to see if he were talking in his sleep. He wasn’t, because he pinched me back and said, “Lisseén, I'm seri-

“Take a Look at Him’

At this point, Hoffman, who manages both the brothers Baer, waved toward what I thought to be an entire end of the gymnasium in which we were talking, and said, “Take a look at him.” What I thought to’be the side of a wall turned out to be Buddy. He is that big. Honestly, given an 2scalator and two clerks, Buddy Baer could pass for a department store. I hadn’t ‘seen him in nearly two years, and in that time he has set all sorts of records for growing. He, has become taller | and wider and thicker and broader. And according to Hoffman, who may be a bit biased, Buddy has grown wiser, shrewder, meaner, and better ir’ all

By GEORGE KIRKSEY | United Press Staff Correspondent ! BATON ROUGE, La., March 13.--Meet Manager J. C. Ryan of the Clinton, Iowa, club of the Three-I League! - : You don’t remember him? Well, he’s-none other than Blondy Ryan, ! the Irish boy who sparked the Giants to the National League pennant and the World’s championship in. 1933. Ryan's baseball career was short lived. He spent just nine years in the playing ranks, and he was continually dogged by: injuries and misfortunes but his name will live forever in baseball because of the memorable telegram he sent Bill Terry in July, 1933, when the Giant craft was coming apart at every! seam and seemed on the verge of sinking. “They can’t beat us. (Signed) J. C. Ryan.” That was the wire Blondy sent Terry as he hurried to join the Giants in St. Louis. The telegram rekindled the Giants’ spirit. They won that day and then went on to! grab the flag.

It Was an Accident

Claiming no credit for what

turned out to be a brilliant idea, Ryan, who is here. working out with the Giants’ Jersey City farm club and working with some players he'll have on his Clinton team, confesses it was an accident that his telegram rallied the Giants. “I sent the telegram from Philadelphia to let Terry know 1 was on the way,” recalled Ryan. “For want of something better to do, started talking to a telegraph boy on the platform and while I was talking to him it occurred to me I'd better let Terry know I was on the way. “The contents of the wire were natural enough. The spirit of our club all season had been that ‘they couldn’t lick us.’ Whenever we got one run ahead we always felt that the game was in the bag.” ~ Ryan at the time had been out of action because of a spike” wound administered by Joe Medwick. :

That .190 Average

The biggest kick Ryan got out of the incident was that it immortalized him as the only player in history with a .190 batting average who ever had a club crying for his services. “1 was batting just 190 at the time.” said Ryan, “but Terry was keeping the wires burning to get me back in the lineup as soofy as he could.” It’s all the way you look at Ryan’ S| career whether you think he was lucky or unlucky. He bounced froin one club to another from the time he broke in with the White Sox in 1930 fresh from Holy Cross.

wrong with him—like a broken arm, a broken leg, a gashed ankle, “I think 1 was downright lucky,” laughed Ryan. “Every time something unlucky happened t{o me, something better followed right after it. -In nine years in baseball I never failed to cut in on extra dividends. The first year I was with the White Sox, I played five

the other virtiips that go to make up. a topnotch fighter. My conversation with Hoffman and my peek at Buddy took place a day or so before the younger Baer was, to fight a fellow named Crowell at the American Legion Stadium in Hollywood. Out of curiosity I went to see this fight. To tell you the truth, for 54 seconds Buddy was the most destructive thing since the invention of gunpowder.

Poor Mr. Crowell

He rushed from his corner, fangs bared, and with his gigantic arms flailing in all directions, he knocked poor Mr. Crowell so completely unconscious that it took fully 15 minutes to revive him. During Mr. Crowell’s hospitalization, so to speak, Buddy paced around and around the ring. Suddenly motivated by a feeling known only to himself, he

rushed toward Mr. Crowell, parting the group of people who had surrounded him, picked Mr. Crowell up as if he were a baby and carried him to his corner. Then, with a final pat on his victim's head, Buddy leaped triumphantly over the ropes and stalked from the arena with the air of a man who has washed his hands of the entire affair. As Buddy left, Mr. Hoffman came across the ring and, with a sort of Clyde Beatty-Frank Buck look in his eyes, said, “What did I tell you?” Being quick on the uptake, I mentioned a name—Gunnar Barlund— that being the last man to knock out Buddy.

‘Who Can Beat Him?’ “Forget that fight,” Hoffman said. “Buddy went into that fight without a lick of training. Never worked

a day for it because he had a bad eye and couldn't risk getting it opened. He's a different man now and a great fighter—perhaps the greatest. - So big and strong he can ruin anybody. Who can beat him, I ask you? Who can beat him?” As I backed down the aisle, clutching the remains of my peanuts and pop, I mumbled something that sounded suspiciously like “Joe Louis.” I started running then.

Deny Sutherland To Coach Temple

PHILADELPHIA, March 13 (U. P.).—Reports that Dr. John Bain

Yeomans. “There is absolutely no foundation to the rumor that Dr. Sutherland will be appointed either as head coach or in a advisory capacity,” Yeomans said. “Temple’s head football coach still is Fred Swan and he will continue in the capacity at least until the conclusion of the 1941 season.” Reports that Sutherland would be signed at Temple were revived over the week-end when the former Pitt tutor visited here.

Negro flash, beat the great Glenn Cunningham by a stride in the 1000yard special at the Knights of Columbus meet in Madison Square Garden Saturday night. Both bettered all records, indoor and out, but strictly unofficially because of starting and timekeeping errors. The race also was clouded by the tactics Borican used to prevent Cunningham’s passing him. Borican’s time of 2:08.8, which bettered Cunningham’s indoor mark by 1.3 seconds and Elroy Robinson's outdoor record by 9-10 of a second, stands no chance of being recognized because the official starter, Johnny McHugh, reported “Borican beat the gun by about a yard.” Cunningham’s time of 2:09.2 lowered his own recognized mark by 9-10 of a second, and Robinson’s outdoor record by 5-10. His performance cannot be approved because only two stopwatches caught him crossing the line instead of the regulation three.
