See CARDS, Page 11 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.

State .(9-7), Michigan State (7-7), Indiana (8-8), and, even Iowa or Illinois, tied for eighth, could gain at least a title tie. Not until tomorrow night will a n y thing become clear.

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.

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.
