and announced yesterday a 12 match
schedule for the 1946 Wolverine
linksmen.I
Maize and Blue golfers will en-
counter four Big Ten teams, Ohio
State, Northwestern, Illinois, and
Purdue. Barclay, commenting on the
coming tilts said, "They comprise one
of the best schedules that Michigan
has had since the war."

University of Detroit, and Notre
Dame. The season ends with the
Conference meet which will be held
May 31 and June 1 at Minneapolis.

orites. Both the Illini and Michigan
may well surpass the rest of the eight
schools in the matter of total points.
Ohio State and Purdue look like theI
next best teams, yet neither has
enough strength to become an im-
portant factor in the scoring. How-
ever, a second or third taken by either
team could throw the team crown
into the hands of either of the
favorites.
Michigan's chances for its fourth
straight title will be strengthened if
Ross and Bob Hume have regained
their form of former years. The
"dead heat twins" have not been able
to attend practice regularly this sea-
son due to Medical School studies.
