The records show that Michigan
has won the title for the past seven'
consecutive years, and if you put two
and two together, just as sure as
you'll get four for an answer you'll
find Matt Mann and his crew making
it eight in a row.
Last year the Mannmen scored 45
points to Yale's 42 with the final
free style relay deciding the meet.
This time things should be a little
easier with Jim Welsh back in a line-
up he was missing from a ,year ago,
and Jack Patten and Jim Skinner, two
of the speediest natators in the na-
tion, swimming under the Maize and
Blue.
Wayne and Ohio State are two ofj
the top-notch aggregations likely to
break into the first-place column, but
the rest of the collegiate world will
be in for a two-day swimming lesson
by Michigan's miraculous mermen.

Last meet of the indoor season for
the Wolverines, the carnival has at-
tracted entries from the nation's
leading cinder stars, including such
standouts as Greg Rice, great two-
miler, Earle Meadows, the country's
best pole-vaulter, Campbell Kane,
who won the Michigan AAU In-
vitational mile here Wednesday, Fred
Wolcott, ace hurdler and a host of
others.
Michigan's colors will be carried by
a crack two-mile relay team com-
prising Dave Matthews, Warren
Breidenbach, Johnny Kautz, and Bob
Ufer, which will face quartets from
Indiana and Notre Dame in a special
match race.:
In the individual events Doherty
has entered three men, Capt. Don
Canham, Bud Piel and Al Thomas.
The Wolverine leader will compete
in his specialty, the high jump.
Piel and Thomas will both run the
sprints against a top-notch field of
