Capacity Crowd Expected
For Battle Of Unbeaten
Big Ten Leaders
The attention of the Big Ten base-]
ball world will be centered upon Fer-4
ry Field this afternoon when Michi-
gan and Illinois, both hoping to be
wearing the Conference diamond
crown when the season ends, meet,
in one of the year's most crucial
battles.
Both teams are undefeated in Con-;
ference competition, the Illini pos-
sessing six wins and the Wolverines
two. Ohio State and Wisconsin were
the teams falling before Michigan's
attack. It is expected that a capacity
crowd will be in the stands to witness
the classic which gets under way at
2:30.
Pitching Duel
If pitcher's records mean anything
the fans may well expect to see a
good, old-fashioned pitching duel
with Berger Larson, Michigan's cap-
tain, and Hale Swanson, ace of the
Illini staff, being the principals en-
gaged. Both are right handed curve
ball experts with a world of stuff
when right.
Both George Rudness and Steve
Uricek, Wolverine center fielder and
second baseman respectively, who
have been on therinjured list this
week will be back in the starting line-
up to put Fisher's club at full
strength. Rudness is clubbing the
ball at better than a .300 rate, while
Uricek's average tops the .400 mark.
Reserve Hurlers Good
Both Illinois and Michigan will
have a good hurler in reserve should
either of the starting moundsmen
falter. Howie "Ice" Berg will be
Wallie Roettger's second man while
sophomore Herm Fishman would
probably be called into action if the
Illini started hitting Larson with
regularity.
The Probable lineups:
(By the Associated Press)
BOSTON-Bruce Campbell, the
Aleveland Indians' right fielder and
eading batter, was removed to St.
lizabeths hospital today, apparently
suffering from a reoccurrence of
pinal meningitis, which kept him
dle most of last season.
PHILAELPHIA -Pete Fox joined
Fank Greenberg and Manager Mike
.ochrane on the Detroit Tigers' in- c
)ctive list today, but the World Cham-o
pions shrugged off the injury jinx andC
defeated the Athletics, 4-3, in the
pener of a two-game series.
Elden Auker won his own ball game, s
his second victory of the season, by
singling in the sixth to drive in Ray
Hayworth with the fourth Tiger run. s

Awaits Crucial
Test With Ohioa
Michigan's 30-Man Teamc
In Opening Conference
Meet Of Season
COLUMBUS, May 1. -- Michigan'ss
30-man track team rested here to-r
night for tomorrow's crucial test withI
Ohio State's determined Buckeyes ink
the first Conference meet of the sea-
son for the championship Wolverines.
Coach Charlie Hoyt's men from
Ann Arbor are favorites at home tot
trim the Scarlet and Gray by some-
thing between one and a half-dozen
points, but here in the lair of the
Bucks the story is a different one.
Ohio Predicts
Local papers have it figured out
on paper that Coach Larry Snyder's
proteges will beat the Wolverines in
the first official lap to a Conference
championship -if George O'Brienl
and Bob Blickle come through in the
first event of the program, the all-
important mile, and if Charlie Beet-
ham comes through with a victory in
the 440 as well as the half-mile.
However, to the Wolverines these
hypothetical victories will remain
products of the Scarlet and Gray's
imagination. O'Brien came to the
fore in the Penn Relays, ut it is ex-
pecting too much to hope that he
can beat either or both Clayt Brels-
ford and Ray Fink. First and second,
for Michigan in the opening race will
go a long ways toward deciding the
outcome of the meet.
Beetham Favorite
Few will deny Beetham the fa-
vorite's spot in the half-mile run,
but to honestly believe that he can
outrun both Stan Birleson and Har-
vey Patton in the quarter is again
stretching it too far.
The Buckeyes have 15 sure points
in the person of Jesse Owens, but
Michigan's Sam Stoller will be close
on his heels in the 100, 220 and
broad-jump, and an upset is far from
unlikely.
The Wolverines have a good chance
for a slam in the discus where Skip
Etchells, Mike Savage and Johnny
Townsend will do the honors, and
should score one-two indthe two mile
run with Walt Stone and Bill Staehle
performing. The Scarlet and Gray
may come through with all three
places in the pole vault and hre fga-
vorites to do so in the high jump.
EDITOR'S NOTE: In accordance with a tradition on this staf, however
young it may be, today's column is dedicated to the Derby. It is also a tradition
that should the prediction made be correct the editor shall rest on his laurels;
If wrong he attributes it the next day to the real author. We propose to violate
the tradition by explaining here that today's column is written by Bob Cumn-
mins, ace handicapper of the Publications Building, and successor to Clocker
Guy Whipple. who picked the winner last year.
Mud at Churchill Downs!
Yes, that's what it looks like and, although in horse racing the only
certain thing is that nothing is certain, the problem of picking the winner
of the 62nd Derby is greatly simplified if the field parades to the post over aI
loppy track.1
I think that Grand Slam will win tomorrow's race, with Indian BroomI
second, and Granville third.
But let's pass on to a consideration of the field:
GRAND SLAM - Loves the mud. One of the two juveniles to win four
stakes last year, and each of the victories was over an "off" track. Both
starts this year have been over fast tracks, and, although he's won neither,
his performances have been creditable. But no matter what he does on a
fast track, he's an entirely different colt in the mud. He should win.
INDIAN BROOM - The big threat. Can run over any kind of a track.
His big achievement was beating Top Row, winner of the $100,000 Santa
Anita Handicap, by eight lengths for a new world record for a mile and an
eighth. Look out!
GRANVILLE - Another one of Gallant Fox's sons. Remember Omaha?
Well, this fellow isn't another Omaha probably, but he can run a distance
and run it fast. Second in the Wood Memorial last week, but newsreels
verify the verdict that lie wasn't called upon for everything he had.
BREVITY -- The Big Shot and heavy favorite. If the track should, by
any chance, be fast and this colt should get out in front, it may be all over.
But, under any conditions, Brevity still has to prove he can beat a good field
and come from behind. A great horse or just another good one? Today's
race will tell, and I don't see him in the money.
THE REST OF THE FIELD - Bold Venture likes the mud and has run
creditable races. Bradley has a better pair in Banister and Bien Joli than
he did last year, but they're meeting better ones today. He Did is a real
dark horse, with a victory in the Santa Anita Derby (in the mud) and a recent
win over Grand Slam and other good ones to his credit. Tuefel is a durable
and courageous colt who won his first race last Saturday - the Wood Me-
morial. The Milky Way entry will suffer if the track is heavy because The
Fighter can't run in the mud. His stable mate, Sangreal, doesn't mind it,
but appears to lack the class to win. Gold Seeker is a filly, and fillies aren't
supposed to win. But this miss closed a great gap to finish third in the
Santa Anita Derby, and followed that up with a smashing win over a fine
field in the Chesapeake Stakes two weeks ago. I don't think Coldstream
can go the distance. The rest of them may be safely considered out of it.
COME ON, GRAND SLAM!

The University of Michigan's tennisI
team was unable to win a set from k
Northwestern's fine quartet of tennis I
players in a Big Ten match here to-.
(lay, and dropped a 6-0 decision.
The Ball brothers, George and Rus-
sell, who generally play as a doubles
team for the Wildcats, split up today
and played on separate teams.
Don Leavens of Northwestern, for-
mer junior champion, and one of the
first five ranking junior stars, had
the toughest match of the day, but
defeated Kahn of Michigan. 8-6, 7-5.
The Michigan team will meet Ohio
State's tennis outfit tomorrow after-
noon as part of a carnival in which
the Bucks will oppose the Wolverine
track and golf teams, and Notre
Dame's baseball juggernaut.

Defensive Power
After the fine offensive showing of
last week, the Michigan Varsity grid-
ders proved that they were quite
capable of putting up a fine defen-
sive struggle in their second scrim-
mage of the spring training session
at the stadium yesterday afternoon.
Although the Blue team won the
scrimmage by the score of 18-0, the
Whites played a fine game until the
excessive heat made the players let up
a little.
The first Blue score came in the
opening minutes of th'e contest when
Dan Smick broke through to block
Manella's punt and Chet Stabovitz
,
fell on the ball for a touchdown. The
Whites immediately started an of-
fensive from their own 30-yard line
when two fine runs by Frost, who in
cidentally was the best ball-carrier on
the field yesterday, and a pass, Man-
ella to Frost, carried the pigskin to
the Blue's twelve-yard stripe. Here,
however, the first team led by John
Jordan put on a great stand and
took the ball on downs back to their
own 20.

Both teams scored once in the fifth,
Michigan when Miller walked and11
Rudness lined his second double past
the fielders. Until the ninth there
was no more run production, but at
this time Normal tallied twice on two
walks and an overthrow of first base
by Brewer.
Rudness, back in uniform after
giving his injured ankle nrest, led
the Michigan offensive with three
hits. Rader, Huron first baseman,
and Merle Kremer, Wolverine left
fielder, each collected two.
