vote had to be reviewed by the individual

BIG TEN football coaches long had
complained that the Big Eight and other
redshirting conferences held a distinct
advantage in "sitting out" players for one
season over a five-year school career.
But since 1958, when the Big Ten inaug-
urated its four-year rule, the coaches'
pleas never got beyond the level of the
faculty group.

Pennant race
League-leading Minnesota must
win only three of four Big Ten
baseball games today and to-
morrow to clinch at least a tie
for the championship and a berth
in the NCAA tournament.
The Gophers head into double-
headers this weekend, today
against last place Purdue, and
tomorrow against Illinois, tied
for eighth place, with a 10-4 sea-
son record and a one-game lead
over Michigan.
The Wolverines, 9-5, play twice
at Ray Fisher Stadium against
Wisconsin today and two against
Northwestern tomorrow.
Wisconsin retained a mathe-
matical chance at the title since
a four-game sweep and two Min-
nesota wins could life the Bad-
gers to the crown.
Should Minnesota win three of
four and Michigan sweep all four
games, the two would tie for
the title . but Minnesota would
get the tournament bid since it
outscored the Wolverines 6-3 in
their two games this season.
If both Minnesota and Mich-
igan should falter, the champ-

Big Ten track
at Minnesota
MINNEAPOLIS - Indiana Un-
iversity, led by sprinter G I e n
Love, high jumper Dennis Adama
and a host of middle distance
runners, is favored to, win the
Big Ten outdoor track and field
championships this weekend.
Michigan State, Michigan and
Illinois are considered the main
contenders - probably in t h a t

order.
Love has run a :20.7 in the
220-yard dash but he's likely to
wind up in the battle of his ca-
reer. Kim Rowe of Michigan has
a time of :20.8, Larry Barton of
Purdue :21.0 and defending
champion Marshall Dill of Mich-
igan State: 21.1 .
Indiana, which edged Michigan,
74-71, in a duel meet last week-
end, expects top performances
from Pat Mandera in the three
mile, Tom Keefer in the six-
mile, Phil Wysong in the 3,000
. meter steeplechase and Doug
Vine in ,the triple jump.
Michigan's best chances for
first places lie with defending
Big Ten champ Rowe in. the
440, two - time winner Godfrey
Murray in the 120 high hurdles,
and Steve Adams in both the dis-
cus and shot put events.

Golfers tee
WEST LAFAYETTE - Indiana
is the odds-on favorite to win the
54th annual Big Ten golf champ-
ionship to be held today and to-
morrow at Purdue.
Ohio State is the team expect-
ed to give Indiana the most com-
petition as the Buckeyes won the
Spartan Invitational at MSU
last weekend.
Illinois, Iowa and Michigan are
expected to be contenders, with
Purdue and defending champion
Minnesota rated dark horses.

MADISON - Undefeated Mich-
igan loomed as the heavy favo-
rite to capture its sixth consecu-
tive Big Ten tennis title this
weekend,
The Wolverines are 9-0 so far
in dual meet competition and
come into the meet with 79 of a
possible 81 points.
Iowa looks like the best bet for
second place. The rest of the
finishes were up for grabs. The
Wolverines w e r e expected to
have the first seeds in at least
seven of the categories, possibly
all nine.
