' Vigor and lieeness were fca- an cfl’ort to better his own mile mark tured in all events and top-notch per— when he negotiated the Armoui Tcth l " formancos were presented by un- known stars as well as by men of re- puted caliber. The setting was, one of ideal con- ditions, the truck being firm and well kept and jumping pits outfitted with new bars and fresh, clean sawdust. Officials, ncwsmen, and coaches mingled with the tracksters as they gradually warmed up, while wearing their gayly colored sweat suits. Oc- casionally a spectator from the well filled stands would rush out onto the track to obtain the autograph of his favorite and would return to his seat with the coveted signature. Hackney Takes It Easy Early in the evening, unnoticed by most of the audience, Elmer Hack» ney, of Kansas State, set a new Ile‘ lay record in the shot-put. The giant All-American grid star seemed to put little effort into throw as he hettered, by over three feet, the existing mark of 48 feet 4 inches. Hackney's record toss was made on his first try. fault was declared on the second at- tempt. and as onlookers were awaken- ing‘ to the prowess of the star, he put. a third shot three inches past the first. All eyes were on the straightaway as the sprinters towed the mark in the university seventy yurd dash, which was expected to be a duel be: tween Piker ol' Northwestern, Kuqu munn of Wisconsin, and Davenport, Chicago star. Kaufmann had equaled the existing record in hi' semi-final heat and was the favorite, but, as happens in many close ran 14 the Wi consin ace pulled a muscle and w... handicapped in the finals. Pikcr Leads Till Finish Pikcr led the sprinters all the way until the lame Kaut’mann and an~ other runner pulled ahead at the fin- ish. The race was won by a dark horse, Shelton ol' Marquette who equaled the record of 7.1 seconds. A Negro flush from Wilson Junior (College upset all competitors in the college dash as Rikli of North Cen- tral followed on his heels. The lad’s name is Evans Walker and he is only a college sophomore. Intimates from Wilson claim that; Walker will be among the fastest runners in the country in a few years. Grindle Poor Prophet During the record-breaking two» mile relay run by Michigan Normal we overheard an interesting,1 con- versation between a track official and Grindle, Noymal‘s first man. Having just given his team a nice lead, Grindle remarked that the team would cross the finish line ten yards ahead of their opponent. The official stated that Gi'inncll would outrun the Michigan four and boasted of the speed of his favorites. Grindlc was a little off on the final result however because his team outrun the second squad by forty yards instead of ten.

The squad will take to Org-den Field as soon as the weather permits and daily practice will be- come the custom. Practice so far has been limited to easy throwing and has been particu- larly for the pitchers and catchers, consequently the hurlers are expected to be ahead of the batters when the latter get their turns at the plate. All Positiono Open lluo to the loss of eight lettermcn, Coach hit/(auger and Captain Kruse are faced with the problem of complete- ly rebuilding- the team that two years ago won the championship. Gradutt- tion left the sound without an exper- ienced infielder, all five having left, and the chief worry is located in bolstering the inner defense. At present, it uppeurs as it’ Leonard 't at shortstop but that's all that do! nitely can be said about the in— lioid. At first, Lyckberg and Tullgren will battle for Tommy Green’s old spot with neither one having an edge at. present. The guardians of second and third base are unknown and will most. likely be new men. Krone Might 1?on Outfield In the outfield, Krause appears to be the only letter-man returning unless Willie Kruse decides to play the cen» ter garden and let someone else do the if. hurling. However this latter possi~ hility is doubtful as “El Capitan’ stands hem] and shoulders above rest of hurlers. Behind the plate, Bauch, major let- termun, will battle Rehwaldt. for the job. Last year as a freshman Bauch undcmtudicd Captain Scidcnberg and replaced him when the lattei came Up with 11 had knot.- al'tcr the Lake Forest name. the Mound Staff Strong It will he on the mound that all of Armour strength will be mustered and there especially in the rig-ht wing of Muse Last year Willie split as- monts with Jot,- Pacocha and be- tw,.. them, they gave the opposition puhcnty to worry about.
