The Boilermakers follow here imme- diately in the wake of Northwestern, hom, the Maize and Blue diamond- men defeated yesterday. Iowa and Illinois, both of whom age again con- sidered for this year's championship of the Big Ten, will appear here on the ultra-heavy first-week schedule of the Wolverines on Friday and Satur- day. Bollermakers Show Early Form 1 With the remarkable playing dis- played in their pre-season victories, the Boilermakers are expected to cause the Wolverines considerable dif- ficulty in their determined march to a Big Ten championship. Coach V. E. Lambert will pit a for- midable line-up against the Wolver- ines this afternoon, containing no less than seven veterans of last year's nine. Maxton, Plack, Ilarmeson, Kem- mer, Wilcox, Rabe, and Ieberer are the lettermen of last season's team who will start against the Maize and Blue. Capltain Is Star Hurler Maxton, cne of the outstanding pitchers in the Big Ten during the past two seasons, is slated to ascend the mound to face the Wolverine bats- men today. Maxton, who is captain of Coach Lambert's team, is gener- ally regarded as the nucleus around Which the defense of Purdue is built.1 In the recent game against Illinoist. Maxton allowed six hits, but miserablei fielding and inability of his teammates to hit at opportune times enabled the Illini to win, 5 to 0. Coach Lambert has a wealth of reserve hurling ma- terial in Davies and Gross, two vet- erans, and Meyers and Speider, sopho- mores. The same infield that represented the Boilermakers will perform against the Wolverines today. Rabe will be stationed at the initial sack, Wilcox will be at second base, Kemmer, an outstanding player in the Big Ten last year, will guard the region at shortstop, and Wheeler will cavort at third base. 'TJW(o Veterims In Outfieldl Two more veterans will be in the outfeld. Harmeson, already famed for his stellar laying on the Purdue bas- ketball and football teams, and Plock are the two members of last year's nine, who will play in right and cen- ter field respectively. Mallick will probably be Coach Lambert's choice for right field. It is expected that Eickman will be named for the back- stop position. Asbeck, who performed brilliantly on the Wolverines' training jaunt tlhrougl the South, will probably be named for mound duty against Purdue by Coachi Ray L. Fisher. The re- mgindei7 of the Michigan line-up will be the same as that which faced the Wildcats yesterday.

U. championships held in Chicago recently. Samson swam on two wining relay teams that es- tablished new world's records, and placed in three individual events. In the 500 yard swim, Samson took second to Johnny Weissmuller. John- ny Hawkins, former Princeton star and now enrolled in the law school here, placed third in this event. Sam- son also finished third to Weissmul- Ier and Laufer in both the 100 and 220 yard free style races. He de- feated Walter Kojac, sensational New York swimmer, in both these events. The Illinois A. C. quartet compos- ed of Weissm-uller, Samson, Hallar- han, and Miller established new 'world's records in the 400 andl 500 yard relays for p short pool, displac- ing the mark set by the Michigan at Grand Rapids in February for the latter distance. The I. A. C. trio of Weissmuller, Samson, and Peterson also won the 300 yard medley relay, setting a new world's record. Illinois A. C. won the right to re- present the United States in the Olympic games capturing the water 1polo 'champion ship. Samson was a mcniber of this team and will make the trip to Amsterdam. The I A. C. defeated the Olympic cli t)of San Francisco in the finals.

Boston and Washington stole a march on thej other teams by opening .a day earlier at Washington in order that President Coolidge might throw out the first ball. By virtue of .their 7-5 victory, the Red Sox held undisputed leader- ship of the American league for the first time in many years, even if only for a day. 'VARSITY LOOKS 8000i ONSOUTHERN JAUNTi Coach Fishier's Charges Injpress Dixie Ball Fans As They Capture Five Out of Seven Games LANGE LEADS BATTERS Coach Ray L. Fisher's 1928 troupe of 15 Wolverine diamond stars de- toured through the South long enough to capture five of the seven games played and to impress Dixie with some real baseball talent. Even in the matter of fielding, in which department the Michigan nine was guilty of 23 errors, the Wolver- ines outplayed their rivals according to the final reckoning, while in all other branches of the game they were far and away superior to what the South had to offer. As a team Mich- igan batted well over .290 to score 47 runs, 19 more than that tallied by the opposition. Rainy weather greeted the Wolver- ines at their first stopping place, Cin- cinnati, the locals there spilling more dampness onthesMichigan .hopes with 7 to 3 defeat.

WEATHER HANDICAPS VARSITY TRACK TEAdM Allows Only One Outdoor Practice; Squad To Coipete At Ohio Relays Saturday WILL HOLDTRIALS TODAY Unfavorable weather conditions and the failure of workmen to complete the alterations on the Ferry field track neces'sitated by the construction of the new Intramural Sports building prevented the Wolverine trackmeu from accomplishing much in the line of outdoor practice during the holi- day season. The alterations on the track, which included a widening of the south side to accommodate the sprint and hurdle events and slight changes of the curves, were not complete until Sat- urday when Coach Stephen J. Far- rell sent hi's charges through their first intensive outdoor drill of the sea- son. 'Wind hampers Runners Although the men were able 'to do some outdoor work, they were serious- ly bandicapi~pedl by unfavorable weath- er throughout the entire week. On Saturday ,a strong wind hampered the runners in every event, the best time the half milers were able to regi'ster being 2:12.+ The strength of the Michigan team still remains largely problematical as a result of the lack of outdoor prac- tice, especially with regard to the broad jump, the discus, and the javelin throws. The hammer will be well taken care of by Ketz and Wil- liams, who have been showing 'steady improvement since the beginning 'of the outdoor work. Fieldmen Practice Indoors Thus far the work of the pole vault- ers and the broad jumpers has been confined to the field house. The ex- treme cold weather has also prevent- ed the javelin and discus candidates from doing any intensive practice for fear of imiuring their arms. Coach Farrell will be forced to rely upon this week's- drills to whip the squad into shape for the first event on the outdoor card, the Ohio Relays J Saturday at Columbus. The trials to determine the personnel of the Wol- verine squad will be held tomorrow, and the size of the contingent will de- pend entirely upon the showing of the men at that time.
