POLE VAULT POWER:
Illinois Conceded Edge in Field Events

(Editor's Note-This is the second
in a series of stories spotlighting the
Western Conference and Field Chain-
pionships, scheduled for May 24 and
25 at Evanston, Illinois.)
By HERB NEIL
The pole vault trio of Don Laz,
Dick Coleman, and Dick Calisch
and potential scorers in the other
field events give Illinois a decided
edge over the rest of the Confer-
ence schools in the Big Ten meet
this week.
In contrast to the Illini's power
the Wolverines appear to have

THE POLE VAULT record of 14'
2%" will no doubt be broken since
Laz has gone over 15' and has
consistently cleared 14' 6". Cole-
man, who finished second to Laz
indoors with a vault of 14'3", is
expected to fare as well this week.
Illinois' third vaulter, Calisch,
tied for fourth indoors and is a
likely prospect to score outdoors.
Jerry Welbourn of Ohio State
and Tom Carroll of Minnesota
are given the best chance to cut
in on IllinoiA' monopoly.
Michigan's Tom Emblad is a
possible scorer in the pole vault
although his best jump has been
only a 13' effort, considerably un-
der the vaults of the Illini trio.
* * *
THE WOLVERINES' strength in
the field events lies in the broad
jump where Ron Soble and Horace
Coleman at present hold the two
best outdoor marks of 24' 4" and
23' 9/", respectively.
Laz, who won the broad jump
indoors, must be considered a
leading contender for the title
although his jumps this spring
have not equalled his indoor per-
formance. Art Kurtz of North-
western and Michigan State's

Jesse Thomas are possible scor-
ers along with Michigan's Low-
el Perry.
The high jump promises to pro-
vide a close contest as it did in-
doors when a three-way tie for,
first resulted.
*, * *
ILLINOIS' TOM FLOYD, James
Harper of Indiana, and Ralph
Schaefer of Ohio State, who. all
jumped 6' 31" indoors, should
fight it out again along with Alvo
Cherne of Wisconsin and Lively
Bryant of Purdue, whose 6' 3%"
jumps top the Big Ten outdoor
marks this spring.
Bob Evans, Michigan's lead-
ing jumper, Illinois' Gene Deck-
er, and Jack Weik of Iowa also
expect to be in the thick of the
battle.
Cliff Anderson of Indiana will
be back to defend his 1950 crown
in the shot put, and also rates as
the favorite in the discus. His
heaves of 54' 1%" in the former
and 166' 4%' in the latter are the
outstanding spring performances
in the Conference.
THE SPARTANS' Bob Carey
and Marvin Berschet of Illinois
should give Anderson his strong-
est opposition in the shot put,
while Berschet and John Roberson
will attempt to better him in the
discus.
Michigan's Tom Johnson has
done 49' 5" in the shot and 142'
94" in the discus, an cannot
be rated much of a treat in
either of the weight events on
the basis of these performances.
Much of the Wolverines' hope
in the Western Conference meet
rests with Don Hoover in the hur-
dles. The Michigan captain, who
won both the highs and lows in-
doors, has not shown as much
speed outdoors in recent weeks.
* * *
HE WILL DEFEND his 1950
crown in the 220-yard low hurdles
against Jesse Thomas, who defeat-
ed him in the Spartan-Wolverine
dual meet, and Dave Martin, who
has consistently turned in good
times outdoors.
Jerry Slack of Illinois has
turned in a 23.8 to equal Hoov-
er's best this year, while Charles
Ricketts, another Illini is only a
.1 second slower. Hoover won
the event last year in 23.0, .3 of
a second better than Thomas'
winning time against Hoover a
week and a half ago.

Bronco Tilt
Washed Out+
For'M' Nine
The Wolverine baseball squad
made a fruitless trip to Kalamazoo
yesterday, as their scheduled game
with Western Michigan was called
off because of wet grounds.
The wet weather deprived Coach
Ray Fisher's charges of evening;
their season record against the
Broncos. In a previous game, West-
ern Michigan came out on top 5-4,
in 10 innings,
* * *
NOW THE TEAM will have to1
wait until Friday before they see
action, at which time they will play
a double-header against Ohios
State University. The Buckeyes aret
now.leading the Big 10 with sevenz
wins and a lone loss.I
The games with Ohio StateI
were previously scheduled as
single contests on Friday and
Saturday, but because of the
draft exam they were lumped
together on a single date.
After these games the Fisher-
men will have one other game
left to play, a re-scheduled con-
test against Michigan State on
May 29.
* * *
THE TEAM can still salvage a
.500 record for the season if they
manage to will all of its remaining
games. As the record stands now,
they have won three and lost six
for a .333 mark.
A .500 percentage would repre-
sent quite a comeback for the
Wolverines, since they dropped the
first six League games.

First Victory
To Grentkoski
Ed Grenkoski, bulwark of last
year's Wolverine mound corps,
still has the winning touch.
The bonus right hander, now
hurling for Binghamton (New
York) in the Class A Eastern
League, recently shut out Albany,
6-0, for his first victory of the
year.
VICTORY WAS a long time in
coming to the $40,000 prize of the
Yankee farm chain, who had
dropped his first two decisions.
Grenkoski hurled the season
opener against Schenectady but
he only lasted five innings, giv-
ing up four runs and six hits
and walking two. Binghamton
lost the game 6-4.
In Michigan colors last year,
Grenkoski was credited with four
conference wins as the Wolverines
tied for the Big Ten championship
with a 9-3 record.
