Wolverines To Meet Illini In Decisive Track Contest, Coach Cliff Keen put his wrest- ling charges through intensive drills yesterday in preparation for the Wisconsin meet which will be held tomorrow night at the Field House following the Michigan- Minnesota cage clash. Captain Bill Courtright will be absent from the team for the first time this year due to a knee injury incurred in the Illinois meet last Saturday. Wes Tebeau, a newcomer from Grand Rapids, is expected to replace him at 165 pounds. Wisconsin's o n l y undefeated grappler, Clarence Self, is being married tomorrow and will not make the trip. Tony Barbaro, a returned letterman, will fill his shoes in the 165-pound bout. Two Wolverine regulars, John- nie Allred and Maurice Smith, have returned from, the injured list and may see action tomorrow. George Curtis, who captured the Big Ten 145-pound title while wrestling for Michigan backhin 1944, is back with the Wolverines and vying for a starting berth against the Badgers. Either Ward Peterson or Hugh Mack will appear for the Wolver- ines at 175-pounds. Dan bworsky will handle the heavyweight as- signment. v Having gained a hard fought victory over the Michigan State thinclads in last Saturday's cur- tain-raiser, Coach Ken Doherty will take his trackmen to Cham- paign, Ill., tomorrow for a critical dual meet with the power-packed Illini.

Illini Putter Challenges Fonville Fonville's record-breaking heave of 53 ft., 6 in. last Saturday better- ed Wasser's winning toss against Minnesota by only five inches. Wasser, a transfer from New York University, has dropped one deci- sion to Fonville this year, in the Michigan State Relays. Michigan's strength in the mid- dle distance events will be put to a stiff test when the Wolverines match strides with Illinois' Bob Rehberg and Clarence Dunn, both of whom have held the Big Nine mile title. Dunn, a returning let- terman from 1943, and Rehberg broke the tape in a dead heat against Minnesota with a win- ning time of 4:22. Barten May Run Mile Meanwhile Michigan's Herb Bar- ten came through with a whirl- wind finish against his Michigan State opponents to take the mile in the good time of 4:19.9. Barten was a surprse starter in this event because of the illness of Wolverine. Don Queller. In the event that Queller is still sidelined for the Illinois meet, Barten may have to double back again in his specialty, the 880, as he did against the Spartans. Billiard Players Total 473 Points An optimistic pocket billiards squad, representing the best pool- playing ability on campus, moves into the second round of inter- collegiate pocket .billiards compe- tition on March 19 at the Michi- gan Union by virtue of their 473 opening game Tuesday evening. The Wolverine cuemen compiled a 62% accuracy range in racking up a 473 point total out of a pos- sible 750 in their initial test. Mark Abend, sharp-shooter from the Motor City, copped individual laurels with 115 tallies. Two points behind him was Andy Sullivan, captain, who recorded 113 at the end of 15 innings. Michigan, a member of the New England and Eastern Section, tel- ephoned their Tuesday evening score to the Billiards Association of America, sponsors of the na- tion-wide program that encom- passes 27 colleges, and universities. Prof. Harry C. Carver, of the University's mathematics depart- ment, served as referee Tuesday night, while Don Krueger acted as official score-keeper.

The co-holder of the world 600-yard record added that he was at Michigan primarily to obtain an education. This, and the necessity of supporting his wife and child through out- side work, make it impossible for him to continue in track effectively. Short's departure from the Wolverine squad leaves quite a large pair of shoes for Coach Doherty to fill. The quarter- miler will not go to Illinois this weekend. Remaining "440" men are Dick Forrestel, George Shepherd, Bob Mann, Mel Pet- wiler and Herb Barten. Varsities Lead In Scholarship 2.73 Average Tops Mean Campus Mark 3 South Main Street Close Event's Will By CLARK BAKER Wolverine swimming fans will get a preview of the coming Big Nine and NCAA tank champion- ships at 8 p.m. tonight when the two Goliaths of the swimming world, Michigan and Ohio State, clash at the Sports Building pool. Unbeaten in dual competition since 1945 and billed as the great- est collection of swimming stars ever assembled on a team, the Buckeyes will enter the pool fav- ored to hand Matt Mann's nata- tors their initial setback of the year. Headed by breaststroker cap- tain Jim Counsilman, former Big Nine, NCAA and AAU title- holder, the visitors' line-up will feature freestylers Bill Smith, holder of every middle distance record in the books; Halo Hirose, - Next to Sugar Bowl - - - - - II I,..the world . A survey of first-semester grades of University of Michigan ath- letes in all sports has revealed that Track Coach Ken Doherty's 40-man squad turned in a record- breaking average of 2.73, equiva- lent to a high "B-minus," which easily surpassed the over-all cam- pus average of 2.5'4 for the past two semesters. TWo-Miler Hits Four Point Highest ranking among track- men was John Morrison, a two- miler, and an engineering student, who collected 17 hours of "A" grades. Four of the squad's top ten ranking classroom stars were pole vaulters - Charles Lauritsen, graduate student; Ed Ulvestad and Eugene Moody, engineering students, and Haskell Coplin, stu- dent in the College of Literature, Science and the Arts. Other team averages, which in- cluded only lettermen who were involved in more competition than non-lettermen and reserves, shows that wrestlers had 2.60; basket- ball 'players 2.53; hockey players 2.52; football players 2.44 and swimmers 2.35. Fullbacks Lead Gridd ers Fullbacks led the football play- ers with Jack Weisenburger, ed- ucation, leading with 12 hours of "A" and six each of "B" and "C". Dan Dworsky, architecture, with three "A's", a "B" and a "C" was second. Bob Wiese with six hours of "A" and six of "B" also ranked with the highest in the group as did End Ed McNeill with eight hours of "A" and seven of "B" and Tackle Bob Ballou with eight hours of "A" and eight of "B" in the case of the football squad, Ernest B. McCoy, assistant to the athletic director, pointed out that the gridders had made their records while going through a full nine-game season mith two- hour daily practice sessions, plus games both away and at home. I-M News With two more games scheduled before the playoffs, the standings in the five fraternity basketball leagues straightened out after the, last round of play. Alpha Delta Phi took over the helm in the first league by defeat- ing Lambda Chi Alpha, 18-11. In the second circuit the Sig Eps, paced by guard Harry Anderson, walked into first place by virtue of a 33-14 win over the Theta Chis. Chi Psi showed they were worthy of a share of the lead in the third * fraternity circuit with Pi Lambda Phi. derson in 1946. Bruce Harlan, who turned the trick in the above meet. Buit even ugainst this power- laden group, the Wolverine swimmers will rule as definite favorites to take three events on tonight's card. Harry Holiday figures to take the 150-yard breaststroke race without too much trouble. Bob Sohl rates the nod over Counsilman in the breaststroke while the Maize and Blue 300-yard medley relay trio of Iloliday, Sohl and Dick Weinberg should take their specialty. Top event of the evening will probably be the high board diving match in which Anderson and Harlan will be pitted against Wol- verines Gil Evans and Capt. Alex Canja. Both Evans and Canja are in fine shape and may come through with an upset. Another close battle should develop between Smith, Hirose and Weinberg for the top honors in the freestyle sprints. Hirose rates an edge in the 50-yard race while Weinberg on a com- parative time basis has done a little better this year at the 100-yard distance.- Hill will be highly favored* to takeboth the 220 and 440-yard freestyle marathons.
