ines falter, those three teams are close
enough to beat State or the Wolverines
to first.
Minnesota and Iowa match up against
two weak foes in the last weekend of
the season, May 16 and 17, and are idle
in the league until then. Illinois (4-7) and
Purdue (1-11) will provide the compe-
tition for last year's co-champs and it is
likely that both the Gophers and the
Hawkeyes will add four wins apiece to
their records.
So besides Michigan's opponents,
the rest of the league will sit back
-and watch how the league leaders
do this weekend because Michigan
State also faces Ohio State and In-
diana this weekend.
And if the plot really thickens and the
race tightens, Michigan will come into
the last weekend of the season with
doubleheaders against Northwestern and
Wisconsin. Stay tuned!

again. He shot his best scores
of the season and carded a pair

So, in today's Spartan Invi-

doesn't do well look for McPar-
lan. And if the team starts get-
