The greatest setback to the Maize and Blue cinder squad was the sea- son-long injury of Captain Bud Piel. Bud pulled a tendon a year ago and recently the injury reacted to greatly handicap the speedy Wolverine cap- tain. ie ran in every meet this sea- son, despite the injury, but the con- tinual exercise just made the sore- ness worse. Even as Coach Ken Doherty primes the squad for the Western Confer- ence meet the problem still confronts him of whether Bud will be able to run or not. There is a possibility that he may be entered in the 220 yard dash. Preliminaries will begin at 3 p.m. this afternoon in the sprints, quarter mile, half mile, hurdles, shot put, discus, and the broad jump. Ohio State Favored, Michigan Given Slih t Chance This Week By BUD LOW On Monday and Tuesday of this week the Michigan golf team will play host to nine -other schools when the twenty-third annual Western Conference links tourney gets under way, but this year Ohio State will be the favorite, that is if any one school can be considered to be rated over the rest of the field. Four teams will be in the thick of the fight when the first rounds start this Monday on the University course, with a possible fifth team also given a chance. Ohio State has yet to lose a Big Ten match and on that basis must be given a slight edge to take the team crown. Michigan, Northwestern, and Illi- nois must not be counted out, how- ever, and neither should Minnesota. Illinois has finished on top the last two years, and even, though Alex Welsh and Dick Wolfley, who took medalist and runner-up honors in the meet last year have graduated, the Illini still have a team that will bear watching. The Wolverines and the Wildcats _ _ -I played an extremely close contest just last week when the Maize and Blue linksmen eked out a 14 to 10 .victory. Each team has a potential Confer- ence winner, and either might easily down the Buckeyes. The Purple squad has lost only to Michigan, while the Varsity in turn has lost only to- the Bucks. Minnesota's chances are slim, but nevertheless they tied Illinois' Con- ference champs 12 all, the only blem- ish on the Orange and Blue squad's record. The Gophers have lost. two matches while winning four so far this year. On the surface the Maize and Blue Big Ten record is not very impressive, but the Varsity has had its good and its bad days, and if they happen to be on in the Conference meet, don't be too surprised if they come out on top. Varsity Loses First Match After only a little over a week's practice outside during that cold spell, the Maize and Blue linksmen journeyed south to meet the Uni- versity of Kentucky in the season opener. The Blue Grass golfers gave evidence of their longer practice pe- riod by emerging victorious by a score of 11/ to 6 . On the way home to Ann Arbor the Varsity engaged the Scarlet and Gray aggregation from Columbus for the first in a home-at-home series. Coach Ray Courtright's lads lost, for the first time since 1931, 20V2-15'. Taking the next three matches- two of them Conference tilts from Purdue and Indiana-Ben Smith and company prepared for their big week- end last Saturday and Monday, and emerged with an even split, winning from the Wildcats and dropping a decision to Ohio State, 24-12. Smith Rated On Top As far as the individual crown goes, this also seems to be a tossup with each school presenting its favorites. Of course our own Ben Smith has as good a chance as any, despite the fact that he probably will be playing with his shoulder still taped. Johnny Holmstrom, who tied Smith for third place in the meet last year, is being counted on to give a good showing of himself, and might even lead the Illini to their third championship in as many years. 'T'hen too, there is Banging Billy Gilbert from Ohio State who was the individual champ two years ago. Dick Haskell, captain of the Northwestern outfit last season, is the fourth con- tender for the crown, as exemplified by his showing here last week when he carded a one over par 73. Let "Us Be Your Headquarters for Photographic Needs Michigan Has Chance To Cop Tennis Crown hlammeRt Seeded Second; Stille, Johnson, Gamon Expected To Do Well By BART JENKS Michigan's mighty netmen enter the Conference meet this weekend strong favorites to repeat their title winning stunt of last year. Several unexpected things have happened to bolster the Wolverines' hopes. The first is the seeding of Lawton Hammett in the number one singles. Hammett was supposed to have taken third place, not good enough to be seeded, but because Seymour Greenberg has not played enough matches this season, Ham- mett squeezed into the second seed- ing. While the most optimistic don't give Hammett a chance to overcome Greenberg for the title, he should add valuable points to the Michigan score. Other things which make the out- look for the Varsity bright are the seedings of Wayne Stille, Gerry Scha- flander, Jinx Johnson, and possibly Tom Gamon. Any of these four could conceivably win the title in his brac- ket barring an upset. However, Big Ten tennis has in past 'years seen many upsets and it is a rare occasion when one can predict accurately how a team will fare. Take Wayne tille for example. Stille has consistently faced tough opponents and will have to overcome Northwestern's Harry Hall in order to win the three title. Or Schafland- er and Gamon. After slow starts both Schaflander and Gamon have been playing consistently good tennis but there are at least three other teams in the Conference who have men who could possibly upset the Weir- men, If any one team is to be feared it is Northwestern. The Wildcats have in Capt. Seymour Greenberg and Bobby Jake a one-two punch with dynamite in it. In fact, these two are just about dead cinches to finish first Sn their brackets. Add to this a probable first in the number one doubles of Greenberg-Jake and a. possible winner in Harry Hall, the number three man and you have a hard team to beat. Even if the Wild- cats do not get this maximum they can expect in any event to get 10-12 points. Considering that the Wol- verines winning score last year was only 14 points it is evident that they are going to have to fight hard to come back to Ann Arbor winners. Some of these points may come from an unexpected source. Coach Weir's doubles combinations this year, notably the two and three duos, have of late shown very promising play. At two Weir seems to have found a winner in Porter-Gamon while at the three slot Schaflander have shown some of the most spirited play on the Ferry Field Courts this year. Keep your eyes on these com- binations. After taking everything into con- sideration, our vote still goes to Mich- igan. Jine Elngrares Ieits I aSeries1 By WALT KLEE The departure of the Wolverine wrestling coach, Cliff Keen, after 17 years service as thermentor of Michi- gan wrestling teams, leaves the Ath- letic Department with an as yet un- solved problem. In a recent inter- view, Athletic Director Fritz Crisler said, "Nothing definite has yet been done to fill the vacancy, but you may rest assured that we will find a cap- able man to take the place of Coach Keen, while he is serving in the Navy." In spite of the departure of their coach at the end of the season. Michigan's matmen finished the sea- son in a more than creditable fashion under the apt tutelage of Ray Court- right, coach of the golf team. Second In Conference The team finished in a tie with Illinois for second place in the Big Ten finals and finished fourth behind a strong Oklahoma A&M in the National Tourney. The team loses but four lettermen to graduation including last year's captain, Jim Galles. The others who will receive their diplomas this June are Herb Barnett, at 135 pounds, Morris Anderson, at 128 pounds, and Eddie White, in the 135 pound class. Anderson was ineligible the second semester due to scholastic difficul- ties. The personnel of next year's grap- pling squad is very indefinite. Marv Becker, at 155 pounds, and Ray Deane, 136 pounds, have applied for entrance in Uncle Sam's Air Forces, although it is uncertain when they intend to enter. Deane took a second place in the Big Ten tournament, when he lost by a referee's decision after two overtime periods. Becker had passed his peak after a fine record in dual meet competition and did not live up to expectatins in the two tourneys. Tom Coffield has said that he wanted to enlist in the Navy, but as yet has done nothing about it Five Lettermen Return Unless the draft interferes there will be five returning lettermen. Out- standing among these is Manley Johnson, who won the Big Ten title in the 145 pound class and finished second in the Nationals. Johnson is expected to attain new peaks during next year's season. Big Al Wistert and Johnny Greene, both heavyweights, will also be around next year. Wistert improved greatly during the last part of the season and is a possibility to cop both Big Ten and National laurels. He took fourth place in the Big Ten matches. Bill Courtright, captain-elect for next year, by finishing third in both the Big Ten and Nationals, shows promise of being Michigan's leader MIICHIGAN'S CHOICE For Over Half a Century For 56 years CALKINS-FLETCHER has been Student Headquarters for next year. Sophomore Dick Kopel, a 121 pounder, also will provide plenty of opposition for Michigan's foes on the' mat. This year's freshman wrestling squad has provided several good wrestlers.

STAT IObNERY Allen, who won the Frank Bissel trophy for the outstanding freshman grappler, and Bob Burron; who took the Bissel trophy for the most im- proved wrestler on the freshman squad.
