ROTH. SE[ORWOLVERiINES BLOOMINGTON, Feb. 23---aptain Ralph Wilson, leading 157 sound wrestler in the Big Ten for the past three years, will lead the undefeated Indiana matnen agains the stong Michigan team Saturday to (letermine the winner of the first place in the standings of the eastern division of th Conference schools. Jack Reynolds, Hoosier coach has developed a powerful team this season that has gone through six meets with- out a defeat. Cornell college, Cincin- nati university, and Ohio university !are the non-Conference teams to fall , before the Indiana grapplers, and the Hoosiers have defeated three Big Ten opponents, Ohio State, Purdue, and Northwestern. In the -115 pound class Indiana will be represented by Eakin, while School- field, who has lost only one Confer- ence match this year will compete in the 125 pound division, Stohr, - 135 pounder, will attempt to continue his undefeated record of falls by de- feating Watson, high point winner of the Michigan outfit. Indiana's star heavyweights, Wilson and Fisher, will meet the Wolverine - entries. These men are recognized as the best men in their weights in the Conference and Wilson held the 175 pound Big Ten title in 1925, while Fisher recently sprang into promin- ence by throwing Whitacre, Ohio State's Conference heavyweight cham- pion, in an overtime bout. When the New York Yankees go to camp during the first week in March, they may or may not have the servicesI of the notorious Babe Ruth in the outfield, but that does not mean that the outer garden will be populated with men of mediocre ability. With such men as Earl Combs, who promises to be one of the outfielding' stars of the game before he is through, and Bob Meusel, hard hitting and hard throwing teammate, Miller Huggins need not worry.1 Combs came to New York during the 1921 season, after hiving established a reputation as a hitter, fielder, end thrower, while playing with Louisville! of the - American Association. As ev- idence of the ability of Combs, it can be said that he was with a minor league team only two seasons, in 1921 and 1922 never batting less than .335. In 192& he was inserted in the Yan- kee lineup as soon as he reported, and proceeded to set the league on fire until he was stopped by a broken leg, which he acquired by sliding into home plate during a game vith De- troit. It was not until last year that he finally regained the form of his early days, but during the past season he made pitchers fear and respect him. Meusel is a brother of Emil Meusel, recently released by the New York Giants, and the two together hold the distinction ofbeing the first set of brothers to ever appear in a World's series. Meusel has long been noted for his batting prowess, and it has been said by exTerts that he owns the strongest throwing arm in baseball. This must be true, for he holds the record for throwing men out at the plate from the outfield. PRINCETON, N. J.-The Princeton basketball team made its lead in the Intercollegiate league secure.
