WOLNERNES GIVEN BOOST
Evanston will 1)e the mecca for
somie 325 Pig Ten" track and field
sitars, including a score or more 01-
ymipic prospects, in the eighteenth an-
nual Western Conference track and
field championships which will get un-
der way today in Dyche stadium, the
preliminarics being scheduled for this
afternoon and the finals tomorrow.
Conference outdoor records that
have stood the assault of athletes for
a numxber of years wil be imperiled,
by the score or more individual star,
entered in the meet. Those marks.
which seem most likely to fall 'includte
the pole vault, the shot, and~ the ham-
mner.
Indlants Are 1inleieited
Illinois, winner of the 1927 title by,
a scant margin over Michigan, rates
as a slight favorite on a basis of her
unmar'red dual meet record which'in-
chfdes victories over Southern Call-'
fornia, Notre Dame, and Michigan, In
addition to Iowa, probably her fore-
most rival for" the 1928 title.
Close behind the Giliuen, however,
are Iowa and Ohio State and their in-
dividual stars are bound to roll up
enough points to threaten the 'Illinil
throughout the meet. Iowa is strong,
in the hurdles, the quarter mile. and.
the weights, while the Bucks will
score heavily in the -prints, the dis-
cus and the jumps.
Purpile Have Stars
Wolverine chances to pick up sey-
eral points, points which may mean
the difference of a notch or so In the
final standings, were given a boost
yesterday when it was learned that
at least three men are going to com-1
pete_ for Michigan, even 'though on
their own hook. These are Williams1
In the. hammer, Carlson, in discus, and,
Eardley in the pole vault. It is pos-
sible that- these may be joined byt
Prouit In the vault, Tarbill in the hur-
dles, and Lomont in the half mile. i
Northwestern rates about on A. par.
with the Farrell-coached team and
boasts a quartet of likely point win-
ners in Droegemueller, Hermanson,,
Walter, and Bagge. The five remain-
ing schools, Wisconsin, Minnesota,
Chicago, Purdue, and Indiana have at
least two certaini point winners each,
but lack the team balance of' those
already mentioned.s
