THE MICHIGAN DAILY Indiana, Illini, Iowa Favored In Mat Meet Four Individual Winners Return To Guard 1935 Conference Crowns Illini Defend Title Wolverine Matmen Given Little Chance; May Win One Individual Crown IOWA CITY, March 12. -On the eve of the Conference wrestling meet, Illinois, Indiana, and Iowa rate as favorites to capture the crown now being-defended by the Illini. Four of last year's champions are back to attempt to retain their titles. They are Capt. Pete Pakutinsky of Illinois in the 126-pound division, Bob Lar- son of Iowa who is defending his, 135-pound crown, Earl Kielhorn of Iowa in the 165-pound class, and Ruffy Silverstein of Illinois in the 175-pound division. Indiana with a dual meet record of 31 conseecutive wins has brought five men who are capable of carrying off the individual championships. Meyers Is Undefeated In the 118-pound class, Robert "Two-Bit" Meyers is undefeated this year. He is the National A.A.U. 112- pound winner. Will Duffy threw Pakutinsky in a recent dual meet and is considered by many observers to be the outstanding man of his weight in the country. Tom Bryce looks like the standout in the 145-pound divi- sion. Frank Krahulik was 175-pound champion in 1934 but is wrestling at 165-pounds this year. In the heavy- weight division, Charles McDaniels was the National Collegiate winner. Illinois won four individual titles at Chicago last year and in dual meets this year has bowed only to the Hoosiers. Blum, who held Mey- ers to a, draw in the 118-pound class, Pakutinsky, and Silverstein look like the best bets for points. Silverstein Wrestles Last Match ".a r i!!Nsslis!Nsslfa Capt. Wally Heavenrich will rep- resent Michigan in the 145-pound class in the Conference meet at Iowa tonight. This is his last meet. is the National Collegiate champ in the lightheavy division and has been unbeaten in college competition. He may wrestle in the heavyweight class as he has been doing in most dual meets. Iowa And Ohio Given Chance Given an outside chance to nose out the Hoosiers or Indians are Iowa and Ohio State. The Hawkeyes boast two of last year's champions, Larson and Kielhorn, while the Buckeyes' best men are Bernie Mindlin in the 145- division and Vern Heiser in the 175- pound class. Michigan, with five representatives, may produce some individual winner, but has little chance for the team title. John Speicher in the 118- pound division, Paul Cameron at 126-pounds, Earl Thomas, 135-pound contender and Michigan's one best bet, Capt. Wally Heavenrich in the 145-pound class, and Tiny Wright, heavyweight, face difficult competi- tion in their weights. Track Team Leave Today, Defends Title Indiana Seen As Threat. To Wolverine Claim To Conference Crown Twenty-one Varsity trackmen of Michigan's title-defending squad will leave this morning for Chicago where tonight -and Saturday they will at- tempt to retain their position on the Western Conference track throne. There is no question in the minds of the alleged experts butthat either Michigan or Indiana will win the championship. The Wolverines have held it for the last two years, annex- ing it in 1935 by the greatest margin in the history of the meet. Badgers Picked For Third Wisconsin will probably finish a poor third with the rest of the teams strung out behind, although the Bad- gers have not lost a meet yet this year. Chicago appears a good bet, for the fourth spot in the team stand- ings. Coach Chuck Hoyt's chief worry today is not whether Indiana's dis- tance stars will be able to double successively in the meet, but rather whether his outstanding hurdler, Bob Osgood, will be in top shape. Os- good, defending champion in the hurdles, has been troubled all week with a tight muscle in his right leg but said yesterday it felt better. Osgood's Condition Important ' Osgood, if in shape, is expected to win the hurdles and also play an important part in giving Michigan's relay team a first. His loss would probably cost the Wolverines six or seven points and very likely the meet. If the Wolverine squad enters the meet at full strength the result may very easily depend on strategy ex- hibited in the running of the mile and two mile races. Indiana's hopes for victory admittedly lie in scoring an excessive number of points in the distance events. Track fans attend- ing the meet will probably see much jockeying here that may alter the re- sults considerably from those pre- dicted. r - The HOT STOVE _____________- v HIul RF - - - - --____ i 11 t p. _ __ _ _II The hardest meet to dope in recent 440-yard run: Killinwood, Chicago, years, with Michigan rated a "fight- who has twice run the distance inf ing chance" is the way Phil Dia-. 49 seconds and three times eclipseds mond's dope sheet for the Big TenM indoor track meet reads.

I Title At Stake In I-M Hockey Clash. Tonigrht Alpha Delta Chi will clash with the powerful Alleyrats in the title game of the Intramural play-offs at the Coliseum tonight as a result of their 2-0 victor over Sigma Nu in a semi-final battle last night. The Alleycats, boasting George Cooke, Walkerville, Ontario fresh- man, as well as a number of other yearling stars, will be slight favorites to annex the crown which was won last year by the Berryman A.C. The Alpha Delts, who will be play- ing their third game in as many nights, demonstrated clearly yester- day that they will be very much in the running for the title when ref- eree Bert Smith drops the puck for the opening face-off tonight. Bob Alexander and Russ Cole put the Sigma Nu's out of the play-offs with two quick fire goals in the open- ing period of the game. Only a great performance in the nets by grid man- ager Bill Bates averted a more hu- miliating setback for the losers, as the Alpha Delts kept the pick at Sig- ma Nu's end of the ice throughout most of the game. h-.
