Illini Thinclads Favored To WalkA wayWith Title Field Events Expected To Give WolVerines Most Points in Quest for Runner-Up Spot By BILL MATNEY Coach Ken Doherty's 16-man outdoor track squad will leave Ann Arbor this morning en route to Champaign, Illinois, for the running of the Big Ten Conference Track and Field Championships, which will be held tomor- row and Saturday at Memorial Stadium. For the first time in several years, the Wolverines, perenially strong contenders for championship honors, will be relegated to a lower position in the pre-meet dope sheets, while host Illinois, with its vaunted individual stars and depth of good material, will be favored to complete a sweep of Golfers Head For Big Ten CiamlpOnships Buckeyes, Wildcats, Wolverines Favored By BOB MODIC Ifl- Netmien's Bid To Retain Title Threatened by Illinois Squad Newhouser Hurls Five-Hitter As Detroit Nips Cleveland, 4-I i the midwestern track laurels. Michigan Fortified in Field Events Michigan is expected to gain most of its points in the field events be- hind the efforts of Chuck Fonville and George Ostroot in the discus and shot put, and Bob Harris in the high jump. Fonville will match heaves with-Bill Bangert of Purdue in the shot, and should compare favorably with the giant Boilermaker who has beenerratic inthis performances to date. Ostroot, throwing the discus as well as the shot, will find Min- nesota's Fortune Gordien, who un- corked a superb 161 ft. heave last week against Illinois, favored to cap- ture top honors in this event. The duel between these two heavies should prove to be one of the high- lights of the field contests. Despite the fact that Dwight Eddle- man is expected to take the high jump with inches to spare, Michigan' Bob Harris whose 6 ft. 4 in. leap i two inches shy of the Illini's best jump, will press Eddleman and should wind up a staunch second. Bob Baker, Wolverine broad jump entrant, will find this event filled with athletes who haveerecorded jumps in excess of 22 and 23 ft Heading the list will be Wisconsin', Lloyd LaBeach, the Jamaican flash who will also run the 100 and 220 Purdue's Daily, and White of Ohi State. Baker's best jump thus fai is 22 ft. Two-mile Run To Be Close Indiana's Earl Mitchell will pro- bably double in the two-mile run. and if so, will be favored to wrap u the title if he can defeat Minnesota's Floyd Foslein. Mitchell's best clock- ing in his other specialty, the one mile run, is on a par with that of Bob Rehberg of Illinois. Other men expected to make the longer race a close contest will be John and Vic Twomey of Illinois, Don Wash- ington of OSU, Ed Johnson and Dean Voegtlen of Michigan. Both Johnson and Voegtlen have excellent chances of snatching valuable points. Michigan's mile relay quartet of Val Johnson, Ron Soble, Horace Coleman and Hugh Short will again furnish the Illinois foursome the best inspiration for running. Herb McKenley's anchor leg, as in the past, will give the Illini the edge in this final running event of the day. Indianapolis Classic To lBe Run Today INDIANAPOLIS, Ind., May 29-WP) -America's automobile race fans, hungry for exciting crack-ups, thrills and speed after a four-year famine, may establish a record attendance for tomorrow's 30th renewal of the world famous 500-mile classic at the Indianapolis Speedway with a crowd ranging upwards of 140,000. p~.co or o =X) 0o 0' Dine in the Charming 0 Early American Atmosphere Earlyof THE COLONIAL J(OOM Specializing Steaks - Chicken - Sea Food, Give your Student PartiesO iour Private Dining Rooms Call -2x6544 Reservations not necessary o,503 EAST HURON STREET ->o<-oe<-oo<->o< 0 * * * Tomorrow in Minneapolis the Wol- verine golf squad will come to grips with all the Big Ten linksmen in the opening session of the 1946 Confer- ence championships play-offs. The pre-tourney favorites are Ohio State, last year's titlists, Northwestern, and Michigan. The Wolverines broke even in two matches against the Buckeyes and edged Northwestern in their single encounter. Michigan's golfers will go into the weekend competition with a not-too impressive record of eight wins and three defeats: This includes losses to Notre Dame and Michigan State, however, and these two teams will not oppose the Wolverines in the weekend play. Their wins over Pur- due and Illinois, combined with vic- tories over Ohio State and North- western, give the Wolverines a 4-1 record against the teams they will face tomorrow and Saturday. The loss to Michigan is the only setback Northwestern's Wildcats have suffered over the season play, and they will carry the best record into the matches. Ohio State's de- fending champions sailed through their first seven matches without a defeat, before Northwestern stop- ped them in a 14-13 contest. This loss and the one to Michigan in their return match are the only defeats for the powerful Buckeye squad. One of the most interesting fea- tures of the Conference play-offs; will be the competition among Ohio's Howard Baker, 1945 national medal- ist winner, Manuel de la Torre of Northwestern, and Wolverine Dave Barclay. Coach Bill Barclay is taking six men to Minneapolis. Dave Barclay heads the list, followed by Pete El- liott, Bill Ramsey, Rog Kessler, Bill Courtright, and Ed Schalon, although, not necessarily in that order. Illini Netters Unbeaten III Big Ten Competition By EV ELLIN Michigan's varsity tennis team will be out to defend their Big Ten title as the annual Conference meet gets underway today on the Northwes- tern varsity courts at Evanston, Illi- nois. The Wolverine's strongest opposi- tion will undoubtedly come from the Illinois netmen who boast a clean slate in Conference competition this season. The Illini's Benny Migdow{ and Roger Downs stand out as two of the toughest racketmen in theI Big Ten. Migdow Leads Illini Migdow, brilliant freshman south- paw, defeated Michigan's Bill Miku- lich earlier in the season in two hard fought sets, 8-6 and 10-8, while Downs, former Big Ten singles champ, nipped Jack Hersh, 4-6, 6-4, 6-4. Illinois has a big threat entered in the middle divisions in the person of Ray Von Spreckelson. Bobby Jake of Northwestern will be another obstacle in the way to the crown. Jake. who starred on the Wildcat team as a sophomore in 1941, has compiled an enviable rec- ord this season and holds a slight edge over Hlersh by virtue of his 2-6, 6.-2, 6-4 victory over the Wolverine lead-off man. The Wildcat's bid for the title will be strengthened by the presence of Larry Daly and Bob Norman, two experienced competi- tors. Maroons Well Balanced The Maroons have put a lot of work into their remaining Big Ten team with the result that Chicago boasts a well balanced squad despite the lack of any individual stars. The Tully brothers are the only two who stand a good chance to pick up some points. Ohio State's hopes will ride with Aris Franklin, last ,years' Big Ten singles champ. However, the Buck- eyes' claim for the crown will pro- bably end here. Michigan's Chances Good Michigan's position in this field of I * *m By The Associated Press CLEVELAND. May 29 - Hal New- houser limited the Cleveland Indians to five hits today as the Detroit Tig- ers took the series finale 4 to 1, giv- ing them five victories in six starts against the Tribe. The Bengals raked three Cleveland hurlers for eight blows, collecting three off Allie Reynolds, two off Bob Lemon and three more off Joe Kra- kauskas. A three-run scoring spree in the third sewed up the game for the Tigers. The Tigers added a final tally in the ninth after the Tribe scored its lone run in the seventh. S* " Dodgers Beat Cianis BROOKLYN. May 29 - Little Vic Lombardi became the first National League pitcher to notch seven vic- tories today as he throttled the New York Giants on five hits in pitching the pace-setting Brooklyn Dodgers to a 5-1 triumph. Lombardi's win enabled the Dod- JACK HERSH ... Michigan's num- ber one netter, who will lead the Maize and Blue in the Conference championships at Evanston. contenders looks fairly favorable. With a little luck in the pairings, the Wolverinesi ight collect some, valuable points in the upper singles brackets through the efforts of Hersh and Mikulich. Fred Wellington's prospect in the number three singles division don't look too promising; however, Dean McClusky is very likely to triumph in the number four spot. One of McClusky's two Conference set- backs can be attributed to a dis- placed shoulder, while the other was to Bob Tully of Chicago by the nar- row margin of 4-6, 6-3, 4-6. In the number five bracket Jim Evans' chances aren't good, while Hal Cook, Michigan's inumber six man, could very easily hit pay dirt for the Wolverines in his division. The doubles look like a toss-up, and will probably turn out to be the deciding factor of the meet. 11 BOXER SHORTS CHUCK FONVILLE ...

Nine Plays Ohio This Weekend in Cruejal Series Keeping its hold on the second rung of the Big Ten baseball stand- ings will be uppermost in Michigan's mind as it closes out its home season in a two-game series against Ohio State tomorrow and Saturday. Wolverine batting power, which has been in a slump for the past two weeks, will have to face two of the best left-handed hurlers in the league, Bill Schmitter and Ray MacDonald, as the Buckeyes shoot the works in an effort to better their fifth posi- tion in the Conference. MacDonald Ace Pitcher MacDonald is one of the two pit- chers in the league who has a deci- sion over the Big Ten Champions, Wisconsin, while his teammate has three shutouts to his credit all against non-Big Ten teams. The Buckeyes have a 3-6 won and lost record in the Conference this season. Coach Ray Fisher has decided to start the same two pitchers who were slated for last week-end's rained out series with Purdue. Cliff Wise will be on the pitching rubber tomorrow, while Earl Block will get Saturday's assignment. Relief Pitchers On Hand Bliss Bowman, Dick Bodycombe and "Pro" Boim all will be available for duty in the two game series on which the final standings of the Big Ten depend. Michigan is in a tie with Illinois at present and must win both games or slip to third place. The Buckeyes have their eyes set on a first divisionnberth and should they take both ends of the series could knock theMaize and Blue down the ladder as far as sixth. Buckeye Line-up Juggled Coach Lowell Wrigley has juggled his lineup in almost every game his Bucks have played this season, try- ing to find a team that packs power at the plate. The probable batting order for the weekend series finds Dick Colburn, the leftfielder, batting first. Third baseman Keith Phelps will bat second followed by the team's two hardest hitters, George and Norb Ranz, in center and right fields. The Ranz brothers are hitting the ball at a near .400 clip. Michigan will stick to the lineup that has played in all games so far this season. I Major League Standings CHAS.
