E~ CHICAN DAILY ISON OF CONFERENCE IL NINES DIFFICULT'.MATTERI HE HIGAN DAILY Michigan, Ohio State, and lindisl pitched a remaikable game against Are Considered Most Pow- werful IOWA HARD MIT BY LOSS OF HAMILTON, 1920 STARI Michign here last spring, is back, and there are many other veterans at the Columbus school. To leave the Buck- eyes out of consideration as a real contender would be a serious error. What Carl Lundgren has been able to develop at Illinois is problematical. Julie Mee, considered by many to be the best shortstop in the Conference, will be his mainstay. In Hellstrom, a sophomore, he also has another de- pendable infielder, and some of his Conference baseball is still in such an undeveloped state that even an approximate forecast of the strength of the Conference nines may go far astray. In all probability, however, the teams which finished well in the running last season will be the chief 'competitors. It is difficult to determine how the Wolverines will compare with the oth- er Conference schools. The loss of Captain Parks dealt Michigan a sev- ere blow, but Coach Pratt is developing' an aggregation which should be a contender. With Pete VanBoven, the captain, at shortstop, Michigan has the nucleus for a fast infield, especially' with such men as Uteritz at third and, Johnson on first. Karpus is a vet. eran second sacker, and Klein is push- ing him hard for the place. Pete should be able to fill Mike Knode's position quite capably, and Uteritz can be depended upon to handle third, as well as did Mraz. Karpus and3 Klein are probably not as consistent1 keystone men as was VanBoven last year. The Wolverine gardeners will be up to the 1920 standard, and the catching staff will be better. If Ru- zika can find his 1918 form now that he is forced to be again the main-k stay of the nine, Michigan will be7 well fixed with capable hurlers, forI Liverance, Schultz, and Dixon show promise, although untried. The south-t ern trip will test the strength of the Wolverines and throw some light on what may be expected from them in the Conference race. Ohio Loses Two Men Ohio, which finished second last year, loses only two members of the 1920 team, and the Scarlet and Gray can be relied upon to turn out a formidable nine. Fish, the hurler who veteran outfielders have returned this year. There are no veteran hurlers on the Indian squad, although Lund- gren has apparently turned out some good men judging from the Illini southern trip. For a first sacker Mc- Curdy, catcher in 1920, has been shift- ed to the initial bag and a new man is being used behind the plate. With Lundgren the main element and some likely material, Illinois also figures as a strong contender in the Big Ten race. Unless a wonder is developed at Iowa, Coach Jimmy Ashb-re will probably not be as successful this year as last. The Hawkeye mentor was hard hit by Captain Hamilton's grad- uation, and it is doubtful if Iowa will threaten the leaders as seriously this season. Purdue wills figure in the race to a' certain extent. The Boilermakers pdssessed a pair of dependable pitch- ers in Wagner and Wallace in 1920, and both these men are back. Tbe Lafayette nine was no easy one for Michigan to defeat last year, and the other Conference schools will find them difficult opponents. Badgers Get Late Start The late spring at Wisconsin with no southern trip hampers the develop- ment of a baseball team at Madison, but the Badgers still possessed -a fighting combination lasjt year. It took extra innings for the Wolverines to overcome them in 1920, and the in- jury to their shortstop in the game at Ann Arbor kept the Badgers from threatening the Wolverines more than they did. Indiana must also be reckoned with and Chicago may develop something, although the Maroons' in Fall sports seem-to have slumped from their pre- vious high standards. There are pos- sibilities, however, that the Midway team may equal the nines of previous years, but little is known of its pow- ers. Northwestern, just taking up baseball, will probably have a weak nine, and Minnesota has again refus- ed to permit a diamond team. Miss Mary F.
