THE MICHIGAN DAILY Harriers Fight For Conference Hlonors Today Indiana Favored To Win Fifth Consecutive Title At Lafayette Competition Strong Wolverine Squad Of Six Conceded Outside Chance For Victory By ED. RICHARDSON With the finish of the Big Ten hill and dale championship this morning, a question of supremacy in cross- country teams will be decided. In- diana, out after its fifth Conference championship, is virtually conceded first place. Illinois with a strong vet- eran squad expects to take second place; Purdue with another strong outfit expects to take second place; Minnesota, with their strongest team in some time also expects to take second place; the question seems to be whether Michigan is supposed to be among the spectators or in the meet at all, for that matter. The Michigan squad, composed of Captain Howell, his brother Rod, Bill Hill, Bob Ostrander, and Dick Mc- Manus will undoubtedly give the sec- ond place winner a battle. Handi- capped as they are by "Doc" Howell's leg injury, the Maize and Blue har- riers should at least be counted as running in the meet. Since the Wolves' surprising win in the triangular meet with Illinois and Ohio State two weeks ago their stock has gone up considerably in local circles. Coach Charlie Hoyt gives his squad an outside chance to win and from him this statement is a boost of the highest order. Hoyt also gave Pur- due a boost in saying that regardless of their poor showing so far this year they have a good squad and will help to make the going tough in the meet. Indiana Favored Of the other teams entered in the run, Indiana looks like the best bet to cop the championship. They have three stars from last year in Brock- smith, Watson, and Hornbostel. These three men finished first, third and sixth respectively in last year's meet. Their fourth man of promise is Neese, a newcomer who has turned in good performances all year. Un- less the Hoosiers' team scoring is chopped up by some of the other in-, dividual stars they are practically certain of the championship. Illinois will enter a team that took fourth place last year, their squad finishing in the eleventh to four- teenth places. Minnesota, under Sherm Finger, with Herrick, Bremer, Seiler and Moore showing greatly im- proved form, have their best chance of a good showing since 1927. Michigan Has Chance Even with all these strong teams entered, Michigan should have as good a chance of placing in the money as any of the others, and probably a better chance than some of the squads. If they can succeed in bunching their men closely in any of the first places they may manage to eke out a victory over the much touted Hoosiers. This meet is a special feature in the celebration of Dad's Day at Pur- due University. The plans to erect temporary stands at the finish line on Stuart field will enable the spec- tators to see the expected close finishes. Michigan State To Open Next Year's Schedule Michigan's 1933 football schedule, which does not end until Nov. 28, will again see Michigan State as the opening attraction, it was learned to- day. For the' past three years, this game has proved one of the most popular on the entire Wolverine' schedule.

Title Aspirations TonhmaGhowigmegi With Colgate and Brown meeting aturday there is certain to be re- 'uction in the contenders for na- Cional football honors, among the Eastern teams. Both outfits have come through undefeated and un- tied to date and the meeting Satur- day promises to be a battle royal with the betting about even. Southern California, who won the mythical national championship last year in the Rose Bowl game, after losing to St. Mary's Giant Killers early in the season, remains unde- feated to date but with games against Washington on Thanksgiv- ing Day and Notre Dame on Dec. 10, to say nothing of Army on Nov. 16, they should have a tough time keep- ing their slate clean. Centenary in the south and Michi- gan in the middle west are in the same boat with games Saturday against foes who are traditionally tough. The Wolves will be fighting for a Big Ten Title as well as na- tional recognition against Minnesota while Centenary meets Arkansas. portunity in recent years to capture t this season's Big Ten hockey chain- pionship from their bitter rivals, i Minnesota. With the opening prac- it tice game still two weeks away,; Coach Eddie Lowery is holding night- ly practices and receiving considera- ble satisfaction from the way hisI stars are rounding into shape. For the first string forward wall Lowery has co-captains Emmie Reid and Keith Crossman, playing left! wing and center forward, respective- ly. To this fast skating pair will be added Johnny Sherf, at right wing. Sherf Is Fast Sherf already has the reputation1 of being by far the fastest man on the squad and, according to Lowery, should prove a tower of strength on offense. Though he is only a sopho- more he comes from Calumet, where good hockey players are common, and has had plenty of experience in! fast company. Another native of the iron coun- try, Johnny Jewell, likewise a sopho- more, is slated to occupy the goal position left vacant by the gradua- tion of Tompkins. Although Tomp- kins was a star in his own right, Lowery promises that Jewell will off- set his loss. Defense Also Strong Defensively Lowery's 1932-23 edi- tion seems to be of the same caliber as the forward wall. Bill Williams and Neil Gabler have the call over the other candidates for the present at least. Williams was a regular last year, while Gabler's may be a new face to many student hockey fans. He starred in the 1927 season and was captain-elect for '28 but did not return to school in that year. His return this fall was most pleasing to Lowery who characterizes him as having the experience that most col- lege players lack. Ted Chapman, who is out for foot- ball will probably give Williams a stiff battle for the right defense po- sition. Mark Coventry and Tom Stuart will also be available for de- fense work, while Avon Artz, Walter Curtis and George David will com- pose a second forward line. Lowery hopes to strengthen the team's only weak spot before the first game on Nov. 28 or 29 by finding a couple substitute goalie. By FRED A. HUBER, SUBSTITUTE Since our sport editor is out of town, ready to watch Michigan win the Conference Football Title at Min- neapolis this afternoon, we have taken the liberty of substituting in the matter of predictions. Our Wolverines rate as the favor- ites by approximately two touch- downs. Severe weather in the Gopher town may keep the score down but the Wolves should come home the winners. Picking the remainder of the Big Ten games is easy. Northwestern, Purdue, Ohio State, and Wisconsin should have little difficulty in turn- ing in victories. In the East the Yale-Harvard game is the hardest one to choose. Playing a hunch will make Yale our choice, although their record is in- ferior to that of the Crimson eleven. The Eli has been coming along strong of late however. Another difficult game to predict is the California-Stanford battle on the West Coast. The edge goes to Stanford, but the score, whether a high one or low, should be quite close. MID-WEST MICHIGAN at Minnesota OHIO STATE at Illinois.

Psi U, Theta Chi, And Theta Xi Will Contend For Title Wii ith the annual interfraternity dual swimming tournament, spon- sored by the Intramural Department, drawing to a close, there are still three house teams, Theta Chi, Psi U, and Theta Xi that remain in the run- ning for the title. The winner of the Psi U-Theta Xi meet will gain the right to meet Theta Chi in the final round. Judg- ment being based on past perform- ances, it is expected that Psi Upsilon will swim against Theta Chi, with the latter being favored to win the title. C Also in its closing stages is the Interfraternity water polo tourna- ment, which is now in its semi-final round. The matches scheduled which will qualify the finalists are Delta Alpha Epsilon versus Theta Chi, and Alpha Kappa Lambda versus Psi U. Again Psi U and Theta Chi are fa- vored to play in the final round match, with the latter team being given a slight edge over Psi U. I S r Preponderance Of Tall Players On Cage Squad . Fourteen men, each six feet or more in height, are listed in the try- outs for Michigan's 1932-33 basket- ball team, according to figures com- piled yesterday by Coach Franklin Cappon.
