Illinois picked off 16 places for the finals with ju'st one man' qualifying for more than a single event to show the unmistakable strength which hias made her the favorite to be crowned champion for the second successive year. Eleven stalwarts from Ohio State showed that they wished to be counted in at the top by taking 15 pl-a.ces for the finals. 3fiehigan Qualifies Nine Ni'ne Wolverines, two of whom came to the meet on their own hook, earnedf the right ti compete in the finals, Michigan following the three leaders with 10 places. Northwestern quali- fied 7 men and every school placed at least once. Michigan took a most active p!irt in what record makin~g or tying per- formaces were chalked up today. Wilfred Ketz, junior star, broke thef Conference record made by ShattuckI of California; 15 years lago by three inches when he tossed the ball out 160 feet, 7 inches. His closest rival, Dart of Northwestern, was just ten feet be- hind him, while Williams, one of the Wolves who came up on his own hook,j just squeezed in for the final's with a heave of 121 feet 6 inches. Capt. Buck Hester sprinted off the fastest heat of the 100 yard dash pre-G liminaries to tie the Big Ten mark oft :09.7 in beatin-g Larson of Wisconsin.
