are now experiencing could have;
some ill-effects. Last weekend's

So far this season the Wolver-
ines have shown consistent im-
provement. After getting off to a
slow start against Indiana, Mich-
igan came on strong, besting a
well-stocked Illinois team 190.825-'
1907 in Champaign.
The 190.825 mark represents the
second highest team score in the
nation this year. Southern Illinois
holds the number one spot with
190.9 in beating Michigan State
by seven-tenths of a point. The
Wolverines in a mid-week match
at Ann Arbor, have also bested
Minnesota and Ohio State.
Illinois, considered a pre-season
favorite by Loken, seems to be,
out of the title picture, already l
losing twice to Michigan and Iowa.
The season now looks like a
three team race with Michigan
getting the biggest break in the
schedule, since the Wolverines en-
tertain both Iowa and Michigan
State in the Sports Building. The
Spartans have the toughest sched-
ule, traveling to Ann Arbor and
Iowa City for two meets in four
days.
The Michigan - Michigan State
meet is to be held Wednesday,
Feb. 15, instead of early in Janu-
ary as scheduled because both
schools agreed that it would be
more suspenseful if the match was
held late in the season. Loken ex-
plained that he would rather face
