The forty-second annual West-
ern Conference indoor track and
field championships open at the
University of Illinois Armory at
Champaign tonight.
This evening's trials in six
events,, and semi-finals in two
events will inaugurate activity in
the two day affair. Illinois and
Michigan rule as co-favorites in
the meet.
THE PROGRAM opens with
trials in the 60 yard dash. North-
western'sJim Golliday is the de-
cided favorite with the Illini's
Willie Williams given an outside
chance.
Both trials and semi-finals
will be run in the quarter mile
where Michigan's Jack Carroll,
Illinois' Cirilo McSween, and
Ohio State's Gene Cole are the
men to watch.
The 70 yard high hurdles will
feature a duel between the Wol-
verines' Van Bruner and the
Illini's Joel McNulty.
* * *
WILLIE WILLIAMS, Illinois'
speedy dashman, rules a slight
favorite over Spartan John Cor-
belli in the 70 yard low hurdles.
The only-field event running
preliminaries is the broad jump.
In this event competition is wide
open with Iowa's Stan Levin-1
son, Michigan's Horace Cole-t
man, and Northwestern's Arthur
Kurtz given the edge.
The half mile gallop seems tot
have narrowed down to a race be-1

Illinois and Michigan State, the

THE UNDEFEATED Spartans
feature freshman Carl Rintz and
Captain Bob Feldmeier, two out-
standing prospects. Both Rint2

Top all-events man for the
once-beaten Illini is Bob Sulli-
van, who may enter every event
except the side horse. Frank
Bare, a top side horse artist, also
backs up Sullivan on, the high
bar, parallel bars and flying
rings.
Gil Brinkmeyer is one of the
nation's top parallel bar men and
a strong bet for a place in that
event.
MICHIGAN'S best prospect for
a first place is Duncan Early,
tumbler who has beaten all the
competition he has faced this
year by aconsiderable margin.
Harry Luchs has the form and
repetoire to make him a danger-
ous man in any event, but he will
be especially potent on the parallel
bars.

A season's efforts go on the line
today as ten Western Conference
wrestling teams invade Ann Ar-
bor to clash for honors in the an-
nual Big Ten grappling champion-
ships.
This meet will be the first of
its kind to be held in Ann Arbor
since 1937.

ALL OF THE TEN teams \vl1
come here with almost enual
chances to take home the big

ence. In his previous two years
'of collegiate grappling, Art has
not finished within the top four
in the Big Ten, but this year he
has improved very decidedly,
and he could gather some valu-
able points for the Wolverines.
Capt. Bud Holcombe will also be
wrestling in his last match as a
collegiate grappler. The 167 pound
senior was elimihated in the first,
round at Evanston last year, and
better things are expected this
year.
THE FOURTH senior .in the
regular lineup is Larry Nelson,
and if he wrestles he will be
favored to win his second consecu-
tive Conference crown in the 123
pound classification. Nelson has
only lost once in his entire col-
legiate career, and that defeat
came when he was a sophomore
two years ago.
Jack Gallon at 137 pounds and
Dick O'Shaughnessy, light-
heavyweight contender, are
conceded good chances of
emerging as Big Ten winners.
Gallon came in second last year
at 130 pounds, and this year, al-
though he got off to a bad start

tics disclosed.

1951),

HoopHonors
At a meeting of the basketball
squad last night, Doug Law-
rence was elected to captain
next year's team and Captain
Jim Skala was named the most
valuable player on the 1951-52
hardwood squad.
The 5-8 captain-elect from
St. Paul, Minn., played in all 22
contests and wound up the sea-
son with a total of 147 points,
fourth best mark on the Wol-
verine hoop squad.
Skala's election to most valu-
able honors was a natural deci-.
sion. The squad's only senior,
Skala looped 258 markers

to close his college career with

Michigan's hockey team, still

regular season against much-
mauled Michigan Tech tonight
and tomorrow at 8 p.m. in the
Coliseum.
Tonight's contest is the last on
the schedule of the Midwest
League. The Wolverines must win
it to tie Denver for second in the
MCHL and thereby remain in
contention for a bid to the na-
tional championships at Colorado
Springs next week.

MICHIGAN, defending cham-
pion, has played in the tourney
each year since its inception in
1948.
Two victories over Tech would
would boost the Maize and Blue
record to 20 wins, and four
losses, marking the fifth straight
year a Vic Heyliger-coached
team has triumphed 20 or more
times.
Denver, Michigan's rival for the
remaining western playoof berth,
finished its season With a 9-3
league mark and an over-all total
of 17 wins, seven setbacks and a
tie. If the second place deadlock
materializes, season records will be
the main consideration for the
selection committee when it makes
the tourney choice late tomorrow.

favorites, the field appears to be

open to the public at 60 cents for

MICHIGAN MAY be forced to
enter the meet without the ser-
vices of its veteran conference
champion and outstanding star,
Larry Nelson . Nelson, who has
been injured for a good part of
the season, came up with a lame
back two days ago, and it is ex-
tremely doubtful whether he will
be able to compete in the festivi-
ties.
Because of the forthcoming
summer Olympic Games, the
115 and 191 pound classifica-
tions will be wrestled in Con-
fprence competition. The win-
ners of these events will receive
team points just as the win-
ners of the other divisions, and
so there will be ten weight clas-
sifications.
Wolverine coaches Cliff Keen
and Bob Betzig have really
pointed for this one. This year,
they have had the services of
four seniors in the regular, lineup;
and they are blessed with a team
which has good experience and
which definitely could go all the
#way.
DAVE SPACE, 147 pound senior,
is being looked at more and moreI
as a possible point grabber in his
division. He has the capabilities to
be Conference champion, but the
best he has ever done was second
place in his sophomore year. This
could be his year.
