-- _., State, Illinois Tonig I GRAPPLERS TACKLE HOOSIERSTONIGHT Varsity Has Tough Assignment in Meeting Big Ten Champs at Bloomington. Michigan's Varsity wrestlers will make the first of their two Bloom- ington appearances this season, tonight when they encounter In- diana's Big Ten champions in the final meet of the year. The Crimson team is as strong as the one which last year brought the Conference title to the Hoosier school. Out of the six meets which the Crimson have had this season they have dropped only two of the 48 bouts. Coach Thom's men have scored one-sided victories over Northwestern and Michigan State, both of which defeated the Wol- verine grapplers. Keen Sees Chance. Coach Cliff Keen stated that he thought if the meet was two or three weeks away that his men would have an excellent chance { of defeating the Hoosiers as the Maize and Blue matmen have shown great improvement within the past few weeks. At present, however, against the more experi-. enced Indiana grapplers Michigan i does not stand much of a chance. Michigan's lineup will be the same, with the exception of the 165-pound class, as that which took the measure of the Ohio State aggregation a week ago. Coach Keen will use Landrum, 118; Oak- ley, 126; Thomas, 135; Helliwell, 145; Mosier, 155; Wilson, 165; Cap- tain Dougovito, 175; and Stoddard, heavyweight. Heavies Weak. Indiana will probably have Ald- ridge, 118; Hawkins, 126; Belshaw, 135; Goings, 145; G. Belshaw, 155; Voliva, 165; Rasher, 175; and either Jones or Kuss, heavyweight. The Hoosier losses have occurred in the heavyweight bouts with Riley of Northwestern, National collegiate heavyweight champion, throwing Jones, National A.A.U. title holder; and Reavely of State pinning Kuss.
