The Yankees, It Seems,

Are Tied Down

But if They Get Going, Better Look Qut

On the receiving end will be Jackiel Joseph, president of the Park Board. “The official opening is a mile stone in the long list of achievements of the City Administration and the Park Board,” Herbert W. Stewart, chairman of the Riverside beard, said today. “Mr. Sallee (A. C.

In Big Ten Track Meet

But Michigan Is Still Favored to Win

By STEVE SNIDER United Press Staff Correspondent

EVANSTON, Ill, May 24.-Still favorites despite injury and illness of two sure point winners, Michi-

gan's Big Ten track champions opened a two-day drive for their fourth consecutive team title today with a wary eye on Indiana's “heroic handful.” Indiana’s small squad is packed with dynamite. If Michigan's string is ended at three, it probably will be the Hoosiers who turn the trick as they did back in 1936. Michigan as usual will depend on its balanced power. Loss of Capt. Ralph Schwartzkopf, two-mile champion indoors and out and recent conqueror of Finland's Taisto Maki, places more stress than ever on that balance. Sprinter Allen Smith, another sure point-getter, also is a doubtful starter.

440 Record Threatened

Preliminaries in 10 of the meet’s 15 events were scheduled in Northwestern's Dyche Stadium today. Trials were necessary in the three dashes, the hurdles, half-mile, shot put, discus, broad jump and javelin. All finals will be held Saturday. Somewhere along the way at least two meet records may fall. One— the 440-yard dash—has stood for 24 years and now alang comes two men with chances to crack it. The favorite is Michigan's Warren Breidenbach, the defending champion, whose time of 47.2 seconds in a dual meet with Pittsburgh last week was two-tenths faster than the present record set in 1916. Roy Cochran of Indiana, number one star of the indoor season with an indoor world’s record of 48.2 to his credit, also may try the quarter. He, too, can beter the present mark. Harris Tops In Discus

Also threatened is the discus record of 160 feet 10% inches set only last year by Michigan's Bill Watson. Archie Harris of Indiana has bettered that in dual competition. The champions, however, have recorded four other marks in dual meets this season which stand as] “best performances” by Big Ten| athletes this year. Breidenbach's 472 quarter is the best of the season. Don Canham tops the high| jumpers with a leap of 6 feet 5%
