So fine has been the caliber of swimming displayed this year throughout the Western Coner- ence that many defending cham- pions, including record holders, are good bets to lose their Big Ten titles this weekend. * * * HOST MICHIGAN State has re- ported every available seat sold out for tomorrow and Saturday evening's performances of the greatest aggregation of Big Ten swimmers ever to compete in the same meet. As far as team championship is concerned, Ohio State has been rated a shoo-in by the ex- perts to float away with its fourth straight Big Ten cham- pionship. Biggest competition for the undefeated Buckeyes will come from Michigan's and Mich- igan State's natators. Among the individual defending champions whose titles are in most serious jeopardy are Michigan State's Clark Scholes in the 50 and 100 yard free style; Bert Mc- Lachlan, also of State, in the 220 and 440 yard free style; and Mich- igan's Stew Elliott in the 100 yard breaststroke. Scholes has been beaten in the sprints by both Don Hill of Mich- igan and 100 yard world record holder Dick Cleveland of Ohio State. McLachlan's Big Ten rec- ord of 2:08.4 in the 220 free style has already been bettered this year by the Buckeye's great Ford Kon- no. In the 100 yard breaststroke, teammate John Davies has been consistently nosing out defending champ Stew Elliott. If Ohio's Jack Taylor attempts tok defend his 1500 meter title in this evening's only action he will find serious competition from Mc- Lachlan and Konno. Wayne Leen- gran, Matt Mann's choice to swim the 65 lap event, will be out to better his fifth place finish in last year's race at Minneapolis. By JOHN JENKS If Michigan is to bring home the Big Ten track title from Champaign this coming weekend, Lady Luck will play more than a small part in the festvities. Though Illinois is the estab- lished meet favorite, a few lucky breaks could easily tip the scales to the Wolverines' advantage. THE BREAKS could come in one of two ways. Either misfor- tune could befall several promi- nent Ilmini performers, such as Cirilo McSween and Henry Cryer, or some of Coach Don Canham's "second stringers" could make un- expectedly fine showings. According to the experts Michigan's top men will accum- ulate enough points to bring the squad within a hair's breadth of the Fighting Illini, but victory will hinge on the efforts of the lesser lights. Don McEwen is a sure first in the two mile and will battle it out with Purdue's Denis Johan- sen and teammate John Ross in the mile. * * * ROSS AND McEWEN should finish in the first three, but in what order they will run, which is vitally important, only time will tell. Ross will also step out in the 880 against Illinois' Henry Cryer, which might well be the top go of the meet. Aaron Gordon is figured for place points in the event and Chuck Whiteaker is rated as an outside chance to' do likewise. Reliable Van Bruner,, Michigan's ace hurdler, should cop top hon- ors in the highs, but is tabbed an uncertainty in the lows. His co- hort, Wally Atchison, should pick up valuable place points in the lows. THE WOLVERINES' mile relay team of Bill Konrad, Jack Carroll, Al Rankin and Dan Hickman is slated for the number three spot behind Illinois and Purdue by those who know. George Jacobi, who ordinarily runs on the relay squad, will not make the tiWp due to a leg injury he sustained in the Ohio State meet last Saturdgy. Michigan will definitely need the breaks in both the 60 yard dash and pole vault to avoid a shutout in those events. It will take an unexpected per- formance from either Terry Nulf or John Vallortigara in the dashes, or an exce tional leap from Roger Maugh in the vault to garner place points in either event. Having Fritz Nilsson on the squad is almost like having money in the bank in the shot put. Large Fritz should take first easily, but Tom Johnson, his colleague, is the marginal man in the event. The traveling squad: John Vallortigara, Terry Nulf, Van Bruner, Wally Atchison, Jack Carroll, Bill Konrad, John Ross, Aaron Gordon, John Moule, Horace Coleman, Fritz Nilsson, Tom Johnson, Don Mc- Ewen, Roger Maugh, Howie Liv- erance, Milt Mead, Dave Heintz- man, Bob Evans, Chuck White- aker, Al Rankin, Bill Hickman, Dan Hickman, Slim Barton.

Ron's steady, improving play is making him a man to be watched in Michigan's remaining games this season, and a big factor in Coach Heyliger's plans for next season.t (Another in a Series) By PAUL GREENBERG The Buckeyes of Ohio State, smarting from a recent- 16-10 de- feat at the hands of the Michigan wrestling team will attempt to defend their Western Conference championship in the Big Ten meet that starts here tomorrow afternoon. OSU will be led by its captain, Fred McLean, who last year took second place in the 167 pound division and with an extra season of experience seems a good bet for topping his division. * * %.

Molodet came in third at 130 pounds and Milligan took fourth in the 177 pound divi- sion. Illinois is another school that is highly considered as regards the Big Ten crown in the grap- pling sport. The Illini have tak- en the 1951-1952 season as their "big year" in Western Confer- ence play and won'i let the wrestling laurels go without a big fight. Coach Pat Patterson's charges are led by the fine trio of Captain Marty Schwartz, Norton Compton, and Dick Read. Schwartz last year came in second at 177 pounds in the Conference meet. DEPENDING on the relative strength of the brackets, hea eay compete in either the 167 or 177 pound divisions tomorrow. Comp- ton and Read are both experi- enced performers who have shown well this season. Compton will wrestle at 137 pounds and Read will appear in the unlimited division. The Spartans from East Lansing are expected to show up at Yost Field House with a power-laden squad that is certain to make its presence felt. State has put the accent on youth, and the experi- ment has paid off in grand style. From the lower weights, the green and white trunks are filled with some great young wrestlers. The Gunner twins, Bob at 123 pounds and Dick at 130 ,Eddie Casalicchio at 137, Bob Hoke at 157 and Larry Fowler in the Heavyweight division are the best of the group. Federoff Replaces Priddy at Keystone LAKELAND, FLA. - (,P) - With Jerry Priddy, the Detroit Tigers' Lone holdout, still on the sidelines, Manager Red Rolfe yesterday named Al Federoff to play second base in the early exhibition game. "Even is Priddy signed today, he wouldn't be ready," Rolfe said. "So, we'll give Federoff a shot. We want to get another look at him, anyway." * * * MEANTIME, the 31-year-old Priddy waited a fifth day without learning whether his salary pro- posal was acceptable to the Tigers' front office. Priddy conferred with Rolfe after yesterday's drill and there were indications that the salary differences might be worked out soon. "If something doesn't happen soon. I might as well pack up and head back home to California." Priddy said.
