This past week-end Coach Oz- zie Cowles learned that his boys "ranked fourth among the nation's top college teams, according to the final Converse-Dunkel ratings recently released. "The news came as a complete surprise to me," said Cowles, who piloted a Dartmouth quintet to the No. 2 ranking a few years back. Kentucky, St. Louis and Holy Cross finished 1-2-3, respectively, among the nation's top ten college teams, the Converse-Dunkel rat- ings disclosed. This system is de- signed to present a factual, un- biased picture of the relative strength of teams as revealed by a special scoring correlation method.

Both teams were previously undefeated, and the winner stands a good chance of annexing the Interna- tional Students Association soccer trophy. The game started slowly and neither team was able to score for the first 40 minutes. Then Soli Bencuya and Rasin Tek tallied for the Turks to give them a 2-0 lead at the half. The second half was played in a continuous rainstorm, Besin Tan and Nick Kamaryotis scored two more for the Turks and the Arabs' flashy outside left wing, Tashak, scored his team's only goal. On May 8 the Indians will play the Latin Americans in a game beginning at 1:15 p.m. On May 9 the Chinese will meet the Arabs at 1:15 p.m. and the Turks will face the Indians at 3:15 p.m.' replace Doherty who Seek Mentor AS Doherty's TimeExpires (Special to The Daily) Charley Hoyt may return to Michigan's head track coach position which he left eight years ago to lead Yale University cin- dermen. Athletic Director Fritz Crisler talked with the 58 year old re- tired coach in Chicago last week. "And although we are not to- gether on the job," Crisler said, "we went over the ground and I expect to see him again this week." Ken Doherty, at that time freshman track coach took over the mentorship when Hoyt left for Yale in June, 1939.

Hoyt came to Michigan in 1923 as trainer and freshman track coach. He moved into the top track position when Steve Farrell retired seven years later. He stayed at Michigan through the nine year period from 1930 to 1939. Yale University obviously at- tracted by Hoyt's record of 13 Big Nine Titles in 18 indoor and outdoor meets, lured him away from Michigan. He watched Eli's cinder paths for two 5ears, after which he en- tered the service. He retired to his farm in Woolstock, Iowa in 1945. RUMORS ARE FLYING -- Charlie Hoyt, form2r University of Michigan track coach, has been approached by Athletic Director Fritz Crisler as a pos- sible successor to the track po- sition left vacant by Ken Doh- erty's resignation.

Rankin Starts Coach Ray Fisher sent lefty Budj Rankin to the mound in an at- tempt to run Michigan's victory string to eight straight tonight, but the portsider's only action was his inning ending grounder to the second baseman in the top of the first.

With a total of 1171/2 points, the two Wolverine skippers piloted their crafts to seven wins out of eighteen races over the three- quarters -,of-a - mile t rfi angular course. The crews were divided into divisions, Class A and Class B. Since there were only eight boats available, the Class B group sailed each time a Class A race was over. And to even things up among the schools, the dinghies alternatedthroughout the regatta. In the second race Sunday, Class A skipper Kaufman and his crew, Martha Armstrong, brought home the No. 2 boat with lots of *Last Night's Games Not Included Probable Pitchers St. Louis at New York-Fannin vs. Reynolds.
