Wolverines

Favored in Big 10 Meet

5 Track and Field Records In Danger; Wisconsin Looks Second Best.

By JERRY BRONDFIELD NEA Service Sports Writer ANN ARBOR, Mich, May 18.— They can't beat Big Bill Watson, so they can’t beat Michigan. As a consequence, it'll be the Wolverines all the way, from post to wire, in the 39th annual Big Ten track and field meet on Ferry Field

tomdrrow and Saturday. And it'll make no difference whether the track is fast or it comes up mud Only Wisconsin, with a few brilliant individual performers, can even hope to make it close. Champions return in defense of their titles in 10 of the 15 events, Records are threatened in at least five. But the big noize will be Watson. 48-Point Total Possible

Watson scored a triple in the shot put, discus and broad jump as a sophomore in 1937. He repeated last vear and also added a third place in the high jump. Indications are that he'll score a sweep again this coming week-end for a possible three-year total of 48 points. The two oldest records in the Big Ten books are due for a beating. In 1916, Wisconsin's Arlie Mucks heaved the discus 155 feet 2 inches. In a dual meet with Ohio State last Saturday Watson hurled the platter 161 feet 1% inches. Binga Desmond of Chicago turned

Vault Mark in Danger

Endangered also is the pole vault mark of 13 feet 103% inches set by Vern McDermott of Illinois in 1930 Wisconsin's Milt Padway set a new indoor record of 14 feet 1% inches at the indoor meet last winter and is now at his peak. In the 100-yard dash, John Davenport of Chicago, defending champion, will have trouble with Bob Lewis of Ohio State, Francis Kaufman of Wisconsin, and Fred Teufel] of Towa. A mark of 9.7 ought to do! the trick ! Lewis, defending his 220-yard crown, will get his big push from Teufel and Fred Elliott of Indiana The 440 should be a classic with Howells and Breidenbach set to furnish a blanket finish
