Tennis,
On the basis of dual meet re-
sults, the Wolverine tennis team
enters the Big Ten championship
meet at East Lansing today as the
overwhelming favorite to win its
second straight title.
Points obtained for each match
won during the dual meet season
are combined with the tourney
results to determine the cham-
pion.
Michigan at present has a 70-7
match record to lead second place
Michigan State by a wide margin.
State has a 59-19 record and
third-place Indiana will carry a
59-21 mark into the tourney.
Dave Power of Indiana ranks
as the number one singles per-
former with a record of 16-2 and
appears a good bet to succeed

BULLETIN
The Michigan baseball game
at Bowling Green yesterday
was cancelled because of rain.
Concerning the Big Ten base-
ball race, a statement was is-
sued by the Big Ten office in
Chicago to the effect that de-
spite several published reports
to the contrary, there is no
conference rule requiring a
team, to play half its games in
order to be eligible for the con-
ference title.
Therefore, Ohio State will be
eligible for the title even if one
or more of its remaining con-
ference games is rained out.
