9 a hundred yards from the finish he was unable to produce the necessary strength a
[ to allow him to finish in front, Chicago winning with Michigan second and Illinois i
[ third.
[ Michigan scored all her points in the Eastern Intercollegiate meet without
N winning a first. The point winners in the meet were Craig, who took second in the m
100-yard dash; Leger, third in the 440-yard dash; Horner, third in the shot-put;
Dull, second in the two mile and fourth in the mile; Towar, third in the mile and
West, fourth in the two mile.
( In the mile race, Paull, Dull's opponent at Philadelphia, set a new record by [
running the distance in 4:17 3-5, while Taylor, of Cornell, set a new record in the [
E two-mile, lowering Rowe of Michigan's record by seven seconds. Taylor's time was a
i 9:27 3-5. Even at that Captain Dull, of Michigan, ran a magnificent race in the a
[ two-mile, finishing but three yards behind Taylor. In the one-mile he was beaten [
c lout by Towar, of Michigan, who got third place, the Wolverine leader landing in
fourth position.
Craig took second in the 100-yard dash, finishing but a yard behind Foster,
of Harvard, the winner. The hurdle events in which Craig was also entered came
FM too close after the dash to permit him to place. Leger, after his performance in the
) preliminaries of the day before was the favorite in the quarter-mile, but he broke
a just before reaching the tape and landed in third place. Horner secured third place ]
no in the shot-put with a put well over 45 feet. He was beaten by Little, of Harvard, r
a and Kreuger, of Swarthmore.
M The only preliminary meet with an outside school was with Ohio State
University at Columbus, which Michigan won by a score of 9812 to 5512. In only
three of the fourteen events was an Ohio man able to win a first place, although in
the high jump, Lapp, of Ohio, did succeed in tying Page of Michigan. The weights
X found the Ohio team pitiably weak and this fact gave Horner a chance to show [
f to advantage. He easily won first place in the shot-put, hammer throw and discus. [
g Craig went Horner five better in the number of points won, securing twenty for r
f his team by taking first in the 100 and 220-yard dashes and in both the high and E
g low hurdles. Considering the condition of the track, which was exceedingly muddy,
Towar's time in the mile, 4:3712, was good. In the two mile Captain Dull and West
were hard forced by Captain Levering of Ohio, the two Michigan men finishing
in front by a scant margin. Dull's time in this event was 9:57 1-5.
The brightest thing about the track season of 1909 was the fact that of the
men who composed the track team in that year the majority would be back in school P
ri for the 1910 season. Captain Dull was the only one lost by graduation but since
a the opening of the present year West has left school. Following the meet at Cam- [
f bridge Don. C. May was chosen to lead the Wolverines the following year and with [
F him as a nucleus for the team of 1910, he will have Craig, Horner, Leger, Keck,
f Gamble, Bohnsack, Hall and Freeney. These men with the others who will
o naturally be developed from the sophomore class should worthily uphold the Maize
and Blue against the east.
