SATURDAY, MARCH 9, 1946 THE MICHIGAN DAILY Wolverine Sextet rushes MichiganT' Two Wolverine Wrestlers Chicago Asks To Withdraw From Big Ten Maroons Cite Season Cage Mark as Reason By The Associated Press CHICAGO, March 8-The Univer- sity of Chicago, a charter member and once a dominating power under Alonzo Amos Stagg, today withdrew from the 50-year-old Big Ten Confer- ence because of athletic impotency. Long expected, the withdrawal of the faded Maroons, whose halycon past held seven undisputed Confer- ence football championships, equalled only by Minnesota's modern Gophers, paved the way for a possible new member. Final Action in May The withdrawal was announced at a meeting of Conference Athletic Di- rectors by T. Nelson Metcalf, Chi- cago Athletic Director, but final ac- tion on the move awaits the spring meeting of the Conference faculty representatives at Champaign, Ill., May 30-31. The Maroons will com- pete until the end of the school year. At that time, also, formal delibera- tions are expected on possible re- placement of the Maroons. The Ath- letic Directors shied away from the subject after expressing "deep and sincere" regrets at Chicago's depar- ture. Other Prospects Named Named frequently as Conference prospects ever since Maroon athletics hit the skids after Stagg's departure in 1933, were such schools at Pitts- burgh, Nebraska, Michigan State, M~arquette, Notre Dame, and Iowa State. Metcalf said Chicago was "forced to a decision" in its withdrawal by the recent Conference basketball sea- son in which the Maroons ran up their 60th straight defeat. The Maroons, he explained, would continue intercollegiate competition in all sports except football which was formally dropped in 1939.

Archie Parsons running in Thomason's htat also qualified. Herb Barten and Chuck Low are the other two Michigan qual- ifiers in the run. The Illini placed two contenders in the finals, however, with Herb Mc- Kenley and Bob Rehberg. Other en- trants will be Purdue's Ashley Hawk and Don Weber. Wolverines Fail To Place Illinois qualified three men for the finals of the 60 yard dash while the Wolverines filed to place. Bill Mathis, Bill Buster, and Jack Pierce of the Champaign squad all won their heats. LaBeach of Wisconsin copped the honors in the fourth heat. "Dike" Eddleman and Gene Trau- del gave the Illini more potential point-winners in the broad jump, with jumps closely approaching Le- Beach's. As in the 60 yard dash, the Maize and Blue failed to qualify any- one in the finals. Short,Coleman Qualify Michigan placed four men in the semi-final heats of the 440 yard pre- liminaries, but in the finals, only, Hugh Short and Horace Coleman' made the grade for the Wolverines. McKenley, Hugh Gonzalez, and Bill Buster came through for Illinois. Bill Covery of Minnesota was the sixth qualifier. George Walker, Dan Shuman, and John Moake gave Illinois another three to two edge in the high hurdles. Elmer Swanson and Neil MacIntyre earned the right to run for the Wol-; verines in tomorrow's finals. Wis- consin and Minnesota each placed two men in the event. Swanson, Michigan's Captain and former conference champ, was the only Maize and Blue qualifier in the 70 yard low hurdles. Shuman also will run in the finals of this event for the Orange and Blue.

Tournaments are being organized in squash, bowling, boxing, fencing, gymnastics, paddleball, rifle-shoot- ing and handball, both singles and doubles. Entries for the tournaments can now be turned in to the Intr6i- mural Department. Competition will get under way in the near future. All men interested in getting pre- pared for the approaching spring weather 'can warm up on their tennis game or iron out the wrinkles in their golf driving any week day. The in- door tennis courts are available for 8 p.m. to 2 p.m. and from 6 p.m. to 7 p.m. while the golf driving nets can be used at any hour. Instruction is still being offered in fencing, gymnastics, weight-lifting, swimming and boxing from 7:30 p.m. to 10 p.m. every Monday, Wednesday and Thursday. Although league com- petition in basketball has been com- pleted except among the professional fraternities, any teams which desire to play games should advise the In- tramural Department and contests will be scheduled. (Continued from Page 1) stroke event for the first time this season and wound up the only Michi- gan qualifier in the race. Kessler, Sohl Miss Out Mann's other breast strokers, de- fending champion Heini Kessler and Bob Sohl failed to make the grade. Jim' Counsilman showed the way for the Buckeyes in the 200-yard breast stroke event with a slow 2:30. The Buckeye captain was one of three Ohioansto qualify in the event. A close battle in them 50- and 100-. yard freestyle races loomed for to- morrow night's finals. Haulenbeek paced the trials by winning against such speedsters as Halo Hirose of Ohio, Dick Weinberg of Michigan and Kenny Marsh in the 50 and Hirose, Charles Fries of Michigan and Wein- berg in the 100 will probably take a lot better efforts than his respective best times of :23.4 and :52.5. Weinberg, Mann Pace Michigan Weinberg and Matt Mann, II, led the Wolverines, each qualifying in two events. Weinberg scored in the 50 and 100 freestyle races while Mann entered the finals field in his specialties, the 220- and 440-yard freestyle marathons. As expected Michigan failed to qualify a single man in the 150-yard backstroke. Tommy Maine of Iowa topped the backstroke field with Ohio State gaining a pair of qualifiers in Dick Fetterman and Dick Reusche. Maine is the favorite to beat the Buckeye duo in the finals. Michigan and Ohio State will probably battle it out for the relay finals tomorrow n i g h t although Northwestern led the field home in the 300-yard medley relay and Min- nesota had the best time for the 400-yard freestyle relay. Times Very Slow For the qualifying trials tonight there was only one good time as most of the favorites were content to take it easy and save their strength for the finals tomorrow night. Hill's effort in the 440-yard freestyle was the lone near-record effort. It is doubtful whether the Buck- eye can duplicate his performance again tomorrow night since he will also be swimming in the 220-yard freestyle race. The 220 was not run off tonight since a field of only five men were entered and all were auto- matically qualified for the finals.
