May 24, . l9.29 . WI L" METTE L.I FE 43" Big Ten Track Stars Clash at · Stadium May 25 Six records appear destined to fall by the wayside when athletes of the Western conference enter competition this Saturday at Dyche stadium, Northwestern university in the 29th annual Big Ten track and field meet. George Simpson, Ohio State's great sprinter will provide the principal assault on the 100 and 220 yard dashes. The Buckeye flash has traversed the country in 9.5 seconds and 9.6 seconds this season. The present mark of 9.7 seconds held by Hubbard of Michigan will likely be replaced if Simpson is pushed sufficiently by his rivals including such capable performers as Timm of Illinois, Tolan of· Michigan and Gordon of Indiana. 'rhe two mile record, which was lowered last year by Dave Abbott of Illinois, is expected to again topple through the efforts of this same runner. Abbott's record time for this event is 9:23.7 and judging from the competition he will have in the coming meet he will be forced to go under this mark to win. He will be pushed by Fields of Indiana, Dilley. of. Wiscomin and Wuerfel of Mtchtgan. Renewal of the three-way polo vaulting fued between \.Varne of Northwestern, Henry Canby of Iowa and George Otterness of Minnesota is expected to result in a new record in that event. All three of these performers have bettered the existing 13 feet 3 inch record held jointly. hy Droegemueller of Northwestern and McGinnis of \Visconsin. Capt. Wilford Kotz of Michigan l.1as been continuing hi s record '1)reaktag performance in the hammer this spirng and the new mark of 161 feet 718 inches which he set last year is expected to be improved upon. The Wolverine weight star will encounter formidable competition from Ed "Ckkelbcrg of Minnesota, Klein of Chicago and Ujhelyi of Ohio. Pete Rasmus of Ohio who has been appr.o aching the record of 155 feet two inches in the discus, can be coun~ ed upon to toss the. pla~ter beyond thts distance Saturdav 111 hts final appearance as a college competitor. He has won the event the last two years. Sam Behr, \V'isconsin's sophomore shot put star, is counted upon to. better the existing mark of 47 feet 3 mches established hy Tiny Le\\'is of Northwestern in 1927.
