The stopwatch promises to be the Wolverines principal opposi- tion, since the visitors lack the strength necessary to give Michi- gan much of a race in most of the events. WAYNE HAS BEEN able to win only two of its seven dual meets to date and finished tenth in the Central Collegiate Conference championships. Two of its dual meet losses came at the hands of teams which the Wolverines have downeA in earlier meets, Michi- gan State and Bowling Green. Wayne was soundly trounced by both teams, the Spartans winning 68-25, and Bowling Green taking the measure of the Tartars, 59-25. Michigan defeated Michigan State, 74-19, and outclassed Bowling Green, 74-19. * * * THE WAYNE MEET will serve as the Wolverines' final prepara- tory test for the NCAA meet March 27, 28, and 29. Don Hill and Bumpy Jones will be out to lower some of the pool marks they have established earlier in the year. In addiion the Wolverines will attempt to break several American breast stroke relay records.

THE VERSATILE Jones also claims two of the Michigan Pool records, each in different style races. He first set the 440-yard free-style mark in the Michigan A.A.U. meet last December with a time of 4:41.4, and then clipped the 150-yard individual medley record, swimming the distance in 1:30.8 against Northwestern. Jones set a third record when he negotiated the 200-yard back- strowe in 2:13.7 against Bowling Green. This mark was short- lived, however, since Allen Stack of Bainbridge Naval Training Center lowered it to 2:12.5 last month. By PAUL GREENBERG If one reason alone could be given for the Michigan wrestling team's second place conference fin- ish behind Illinois, it would be the injury of Larry Nelson, who last year won the conference 123- pound title. Nelson was plagued by a series of injuries from the start of the season, when he twisted his knee in the Wolverines' first dual meet against Pittsburgh. This kept him out of action for a while, but he bounced back to take four more matches in a row. * * * HIS SEASON'S mark was five won and none lost before the Ohio State meet when the flu bug bit him aeid he couldn't make the trip to Columbus. After he re- All letter winners are asked to report immediately to the Equipment Room in Yost Field House to be measured for their sweaters. --Henry Hatch covered from the flu, he strained his back and thus became a doubt- ful starter for the conference meet. Nelson and Coach Cliff Keen went into a huddle with the - medics and Larry got the go- ahead. He hadn't seen hide nor hair of a wrestling mat in two weeks, but he went into the conference meet anyway. Unfortunately, he met Dick IGunner in his first round match. Gunner, a sophomore from Michi- gan State, had been touted all sea- son as one of the leading young- sters in the conference, * * * NELSON had already stood him on his head when they met in a dual meet at East Lansing earlier in the seasog. But this time that wasn't the case. Gunner saw his advantage and made the best of it. He let Nelson wear himself down in the beginning of their match and then jumped back to decision him. At that he won . only by the barest of margins, 3-2. If Nelson had dropped Gunner and moved through the 123 pound class as he was expected, Michigan would have won out over Illinois. } * * * THE LOSS was a sad end to a brilliant collegiate career. In al- mast ?our years of dual meet com- petition Nelson lost only one match and that was by the narrow mar- gin of five seconds riding time to an Indiana opponent in 1948. 'M' Grapplers Hurt By. Nelson Injuries By ED SMITH Theynever get their names in headlines, they rarely get their names in print, but the men of the mile relay team are a vital cog on any track team. On the Michigan thinclad squad the baton-passers are Dan Hick- man, Bill Konrad, Al Rankin and Jack Carroll. Their peak per- formance this year was a 3:18.7 turned in at Champaign in the indoor conference meet. IN A NORMAL year this time is more than enough to win, but this season, with Big Ten track squads unusually strong, it was good for only a close third behind Iowa's 3:18.3 and Illinois' 3:18.6. Rankin, a Junior from Ottawa, Canada, generally runs the open- ing quarter. Though an injury kept him out of the outdoor campaign last spring, he has gradually worked his leg back into shape. His current ambition is to make the Canadian Olympic squad. He hopes to top the standard in the 400-meter hurdles and thus earn a trip to Helsinki. KO$RAD, a sprinter by trade, has been forced up to the quarter level by leg trouble. When the out- door seasof rolls around he will probably be going in the 100 and the 220, his best distances. A senior engineering student,1 Konrad has thrice been the re- cipient of the Yost Award, given for scholarship and athletics. Last year the Oak Park, Illinois performer boasted the highest average on the cinder contin- gent. Hickman is a home grown pro- duct, coming from the neighbor- ing metropolis of Ypsilanti. In his high school days he was the 440 champ of the class C bracket. A LARRY NELSON Earlier in 1948, while still a student at South Division High School in Milwaukee, the then eighteen-year old Nelson went to the finals of the midwest Olympic trials before losing out. Needless to say, if his errant back allows it, he will make a strong attempt to get on the boat to Helsinki this year. RelayTeam Finally Makes Headlines, Hickman has twice received the Yost Award. CARROLL is considered the best quarter-miler since the pre-war days of Bub Ufer. Though only a sophomore he is the Big Ten champ at his favorite distance. As only Konrad will graduate this June, Coach Don Canham can look forward to at least another year of fine performances from the unheralded relay squad. h~. m I 9- Bowling Nears End .. Bowling in the social fraternities is coming to a rather dramatic finale. In the lower bracket, Tau Delta Phi will meet Sigma Alpha Mu in their semi-final match on Sunday. The Tau Delts defeated ATO 2604 to 2432 to enter the semis. Hanley Gurwin was the victor's big gun with a 618 series. SAM gained the semi-final round by turning back Pi Lambda Phi, 2519-2368. The Sammies are led by Nonnie Weinstock. B * * * * Betas Sad - They've Been Had How close can you come without winning? That's probably what the Beta Theta Pi's are thinking today af- ter dropping two basketball games last night, each by a one point margin. IN THE SECOND place 'A' play- offs, Sigma Phi defeated the Betas, 26-25. Bruce Bradshaw scored a field goal with about 15 seconds remaining iii the game to give the Sigma Phis their narrow margin. Don Johnson was high scorer for the victors with 12 points, while John Steck and Gordon Tarrant each dropped in seven points for the Betas.

Ralph Smith of the Betas was fouled in the act of shooting. His first foul shot went through the hoop, but the bas- ket was disallowed because one of his teammates stepped over the line.
