THE MTCHIGITiAIEY Cagers Receive NCAA Tournament Bid I Three Teams To Pace Field In Conference Track Meet This week end's Western Con- ference track meet in Champaign isn't going to be the run-away that it was last year-not by a long shot. Any thoughts as to the pos- sibility of a repeat ,performance of the lop-sided fllini victory van- ished several months ago with the ineligibility of Messrs. Reh- berg and Vranek. There have even, been wild rumors of either Michigan or Ohio State coming up from no- where to grab the crown. This is a little far-fetched, but certainly very possible. The Buckeyes and Wolver- ines are both stronger than last year with the Maize and Blue probably the most improved of the three. Here's how the top men line up in each event: In the mile Wisconsin's Don Gehrman should win, but Illi- nois' John Karkow, Indiana's Tom Deal or Michigan's Herb Barten can beat him out. In the half it's Barten going away. Last year he won it by 25 Yards. The two mile should go to Gehr- man, who is rapidly becoming one of the nation's finest distance men. He'll also be defending his crown in this event. Michigan can take one-two in the quarter if previous perform- ances mean anything. Val John- son and George Shepherd have the best time in the Conference but will have plenty of trouble from Ohio's Jerry Cogswell and Herb Butler of Illinois. The hurdles should be a two man affair between Tllini George Walker and Northwest-3 ern's Bill Porter with the Wild- cat ace getting the nod in both the highs and lows. The mile relay should go to the Wolverines with OSU close by at the finish. Without Herb Mc- Kenley Illinois can't be considered a threat in this one. In the field events the top three should dominate the scene. Illinois' Dike Eddleman is tops in the high jump as is Michigan's Charlie Fonville in the shot. The broad jump is a toss-up between Minnesota's Lloyd LaMois and Ohio's versatile Lloyd Duff. The Buckeye will also be seeking a place in the pole vault, but will run into some tought competi- tion from Harry Cooper of Min- nesota and Tom Bennet of Wis- consin. Wings Defeat Rangers, 4-2 DETROIT, March 3 - (/P) - Battling to overtake the league- leading Toronto Maple Leafs, the Detroit Red Wings scored a 4-2 victory over the New York Rang- ers before 13,241 fans at Olympia tonight. The Wings took the lead in the first period, and never trailed al- though New York held a 1-1 tie until late in thesecond stanza. It was New York's last stand here with Detroit winning three, losing two and tying one with the Rang- ers on the Wings' home ice. Ted Lindsay counted Detroit's opening score, and it was the 29th goal of the season for the NHL's leading goal-scorer.

Northwestern's coach, Bill Pet- erson, working with a nucleus of eight lettermen, has been handi- capped by a lack of reserve strength, but his natators have managed to turn in a two- and-two record in Big Nine com- petition, defeating Wisconsin and Illinois while dropping decisions to Purdue and Ohio State. Capt. Bill Heusner, Big Nine 1500 meter champion, has been the most consistent point-getter on the Wildcat squad, swimning the 220 and 440 yard freestyle events.
