At the start of the season just-corn- pleted, the six-foot, two inch forward was slated to hold down a regular position, but was late in hitting his stride and was thus relegated to the role of a substitute until midseason, Led Victory Trail Given another chance as a starter after Michigan had gotten off to a disastrous start .in the Conference campaign, Cartmill never relinquished the job as he promptly proceeded to lead the Wolverines back on the vic- tory trail. Bill played no small part in Michigan's four triumphs in its last four Big Ten games and in win- ning the Varsity a more favorable position in the final Conference standings. Brogan Honored The Wolverine letter-winners also paid tribute to retiring Capt. Herb Brogan when they voted the tiny Lansing senior the most valuable member of the Michigan team for! the 194;0-41 season.

Cage Squad Next Season Nineten MYichi Iwimmers Leave For Big Tet's At Iowa Confident, conditioned and clam- oring for action, a 19-man squad of Michigan swimmers entrained early this morning for Iowa City to defend the first of their three major titles, the Big Ten crown they won last year for the 11th time in 14 years. John Sharemet, suffering from a cold, was left home when Harvey Muller, assistant coach, herded the# natators aboard the train that will bring them to the Hawkeye campus late this afternoon in time for a woik- out. Second in the Conference last year behind Ohio State's great Johnnyl Higgins, Sharemet decided to forego the championships this year in order to be in top condition for the Nation- al Collegiate meet at East Lansing later in the month. The withdrawal of his second best breaststroker left Matts Man with only Jim Skinner to fight it out in the 200 yard race that is being built up in the tall corn country as THE race of the meet with Al Povilaitis carrying Hawkeye hopes for victory. On the Wolverine team speeding to the site of the championships, are three individual Big Ten titleholders. There is Charley Barker, 50 yards; Gus Sharemet, 100 yards and Fran- cis Heydt, 150 yard backstroker be- sides the two relay teams which were both winners in 1940, though com- osed of different men. Members of the team besides those already mentioned making the trip include: Tom Williams, Jim Welsh, Jack Patten, Dobson Burton, Will Garvey, Bruce Allen, Bob West, Jack Wolin, Jim Wilkinson, Claire Morse, Angles By Gene Gribbroek SIGMA CHI'S Robert (Boo Boo) Reutter gets ,this column's nom- ination as Intramural athlete of the, year . . .

By STAN CLAMAGE The Michigan wrestling term will engage in a very difficult struggle Friday and Saturday when they will attempt to wrest the Conference title away from Indiana-a title which they lost last year by a one point margin. A particularly important factor to remember before attempting to make a diagnosis of the possible outcome of the meet is the unusual diversifi- cation of individual talent in the Big Ten. Generally, in a meet of this kind, the difference between a champion- ship and an 'also-ran' is a well-bal- anced squad with plenty of depen- dable power. Indiana arnd Purdue boast National champs in the 121-pound class; Min- nesota has a fine 128-pounder who has yet to be beaten this year; in the 136-pound division, Indiana has a returning Conference champ and Purdue has a Midwestern AA\U champ; Ohio State has a returning Big Ten title-holder in the 145-pound class; and, the list continues to roll- on through the' remaining weights. Outcome A Question To attempt to concede the title to any particular school at this time would merely be,. a bit of wishful- thinking and wild guessing for too many things can happen before the final bouts. Turning to the Wolverine's chances, we find a team that can match them all between 136-pounds and 175- pounds. And they have a possible 'dark-horse' in the 128-pound class in senior Tom Weidig. Coach Cliff Keen can put one of two very capable 136-pounders against the best. Sophomores Ray Deane and Herb Barnett have shown that they can always be counted-on for a fine scrap. Two other good grap- plers, Hap Langstaff and John Paup, have plenty of stuff to show in the 145-pound clash. The 155-pound class appears to be even stronger. In that division you won't find very many better wrestlers than Captain Bill wombs or Art Paddy. time. His dope sheet is cluttered with "possibilities" and he even goes so far a. to point out that "Michigan's utmost, if everything goes perfectly is almost 50 points, while the Hoosiers seem certain of at least 45 points .and 45 Hoosier tallies means a title for them." Figuring .up his original predictions, Diamond gives the following re- sults: Indiana 48 Ohio 21 Michigan 34 Purdue 20 That seems the rock-bottom of his pessimism though, for he goes on to point out that "if Wes Allen can jump and beats Mikulas, and Thom- as (oar Hall or McCarthy) whips Cochran in the lows and McCarthy comes through to edge out Burnett in the broad jump, the meet could be a very close one," HERE ARE THE DIAMOND SELECTIONS: 64-yard dash, won by Piker (NW), Franck (Minn) 2,;Hammond (O) 3, Piel (Mich) 4, Keim (Pur) 5. 440-yard run: won by Cochran (Ind.)

About 0 batterymen with a month's practice under their belts, served them up for the batters.
