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 tween Wolverine John Ross and1 Illini Henry Cryer.

Illinois and Michigan State, the two teams which have beaten the Wolverines, are picked as the leading contenders for the title. MSC is favored by virtue of a 53- 43 victory over the Illini earlier in the season. Pucks ters Face Last /lc uke Michigan and MSC Rated as Pre-Tournam ent Favorites THE UNDEFEATED Spartans feature freshman Carl Rintz and Captain Bob Feldmeier, two out- standing prospects. Both Rint2 and Feldmeier participate in four events: flying rings, side horse, high bar, and parallel bars. Any one of MSC's three trampoline men, John Walker, Al Hannas or 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.

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 dnr xp n77~lh a n Darling Sets Five Marks In igTen CHICAGO-(A)-The Big Ten yesterday officially confirmed that All-America center Chuck Darling of Iowa virtually re-wrote the con- ference record book this season. 'The superb, 6-foot, 8-inch pivot star set five new major individualf marks, tied one record, and missed menacing only one, official statis- tics disclosed. Darling's achievements as the greatest scoring star in Big Ten history include: Most points in one season: 364r (betters 14-game total of 277 by Northwestern's Ray Ragelis, in 1951), Most points, college career: 716 (betters 4-year total of 675 by Wisconsin's Don Rehfeldt, and 3-year total of 628 by Reh- feldt).

In winning the only event off the day, the Ohio State freshman cracked the pool record, the in- tercollegiate short pool record of 18:18.8 held by John Marshall of Yale, and the Big Ten nark of 18:43.3 -set by teammate Jack Taylor at Minneapolis last year.1 The others placing in the gruel- ing race included Dave Anderson of Minnesota, third; Don Watson of Iowa, fourth; Dave Norman of Michigan State, fifth; and Ross Lucas, also of Iowa, sixth.

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 through the hoops this winter to close his college career with 508 points. this year.

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.

The other three meetings-Fri- . day evening, Saturday afternoon and Saturday evening-wiil be open to the public at 60 cents for students and one dollar for adults. 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.
