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 EAST LANSING - Two basketballh players, Curtis White and Dan Reck, headed the field today in competitionh for the trophies awarded at the end of each term to athletes who have at- tained the best scholastic records.A Each had an average of A.e Cinder Squad 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!

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.
