With the team at full strength Coach Cliff Keen is hopeful of avenging last season's setback in championship meet, in which Michigan was runner-up to the Illini for the title. WITH TEN matches under their belt already this' season as com- 'M' Natators, MSC Clash In State Pool Both Squads To Risk Perfect Slates Today By IVAN KAYE Undefeated natatorial power- houses Michigan 'and Michigan State clash head-on at the Jen- nison Pool this afternoon in the outstanding swimming meet thus far in the 1953 season. The Spartans of Coach Charles McCaffree enter with five victor- ies, while the Michigan squad comes into the contest with four triumphs. * * * f MOST NOTABLE of theMichi- gan State efforts was the stun- ning 51-39 conquest of mighty Ohio State. The Buckeyes, forced to swim without their great stars Ford Konno and Dick Cleveland, nevertheless presented a formid- able outfit which was riding the crest of a 25 meet victory streak. The meet is the 30th between the schools. Michigan holds an overwhelming advantage with 27 victories to two for the Green, and White. The Spartans, how- ever have achieved both of their triumphs in the last three years. The accent up at East Lansing this year has been on all-round team strength rather than on in- dividual stars as has been the case in recent seasons, THE SPARTANS lack a nation- al champion performer for the Scholes, the Olympic great in the sprints, has been graduated, and finding an adequate replacement for him has been a great problem to Coach McCaffree. Tom Payette, a sophomore from Grand Rapids, has shown promise in the freestyle events, and may help against the pow- erful Michigan squad. Michigan State still has its great distance freestyler Bert Mc- Lachlan. The senior from Denver, Colorado finished second in the 220 and 440-yard and the 1500 meter freestyle races in last year's Western Conference meet. In each case he was bested by Ohio State's Ford Konno. THE WOLVERINES will make excellent use of the talents of new- ly eligible freestyler Ron Gora. The former Lane Tech High of Chicago sensation can go in either the 50, 100 or 220 races and will free the versatile Bumpy Jones, who had been swimming in some of those distances, for backstrok- ing and the individual medley. Jones is just about the best in the world in the individual ef- fort. Having him fresh for the backstroke will also be a de- cided help. He and John Chase give Matt Mann's crew a potent punch in the backstroke depart- ment. Diver Jimmy Walters, who has come along in great style in this, his sophomore year, will be up against the Spartans' able Ken Coyne. Coyne finished seventh in the conference last year and is rated improved over his 1952 ef- ficiency. Breaststroker Glen Miller will be faced with the experienced Bruce Aldrich, a senior who lettered for the Spartans last year. Ei pared to Michigan's six( the Fight- ing Illini have a record of seven victories, two defeats, and one tie. _ Their two defeats were suf- fered at the hands of Oklahoma, defending national champion, and Oklahoma A. & M., gener- ally recognized as the perennial leader of collegiate wrestling. Although the conference cham- pionship is decided solely on the basis of a team's standing in the Big Ten Championship Meet at the end of the season, this even- ing's match will be a positive bar- ometer in measuring the compara- tive strength of the two squads that are expected to fight it out for the conference crown. ONE OF THE finest matches of the entire conference campaign is in prospect when.the Wolverines' Andy Kaul meets the Illini cap- tain, Pete Compton at 137 pounds. Kaul is undefeated in six contests this season while Compton is the defending conference titlist and a wrestler who has never lost a match in dual competition. Michigan's other two unbeat- en matmen, Captain Snip Na- lon at 130 pounds and Dick O'Shaughnessy in the heavy- weight division are also expect- ed to have a rough time in keep- ing their perfect records intact. Captain Nalon's probable op- ponent at 130 pounds is 34-year- old Lou Kachiroubas. Kachiroubas who served several years in the United States Navy before attend- ing college has two national AAU championships to his credit. In addition to these titles, Kachirou- bas has also won two Big Ten con- ference championships and last year was runner-up. Illini coach Pat Patterson's squad is unusually strong in the lower weights where in addition to Compton and Kachiroubas, Patterson has sophomore Dick Meeks who was runner-up in the Big Ten 123-pound champion- ships last year. To meet this awesome array of talent Wolverine Coach Keen has decided to stick to the same men who have shown progressive im- provement throughout the cur- rent campaign and who last week defeated a powerful aggregation of Michigan State wrestlers, 17-13.

The meet is scheduled for 8 p.m. * * * COACH NEWT Loken has been forced to revamp his line-up with, the ineligibility of Lee Krumbholz and Harry Luchs, both leading scorers for the Wolverines.

Five Big Ten schools along with Notre Dame, Pittsburgh, Drake, and Kansas State have sent full contingents to thetmeet. Besides Michigan, Ohio State, Purdue, Il- linois, and host team Michigan State are the Western Conference entries. Spartan Relays verines will most likely come from Illinois, Purdue, Michigan State, and Kansas State. The Wildcats have an especially fine mile relay team, which already won the Sugar Bowl title. ling champion, who was also ruled ineligible. Michigan's Mary Johnson is expected to carry the brunt of his team's hopes. The tentative line-up shows him entered in the side horse, high bar, parallel bars, flying rings, and the tumb- ling events. Jim Barbero will team with Johnson on the side horse and the parallel bars. He will also join Frank Adams and Johnson in the high bar. * * * ADAMS IS entered in tumbling and in the trampoline, with cap- tain Don Hurst. Jack Eckle will also assist in the latter event. Dick Bergman and Al Krauss complete the roster, both being entered in the flying rings event. Illinois, the Big Ten cham- pions, but defeated this season by Penn State, still boasts a team of champions. Bob Sullivan, second ranking man in the country in tumbling, and NCAA champion in the same event is expected to do most of the Orange and Blue scoring. He usually scores half of Illinois' points in the trampoline, high bar, parallel bar and rings competition. FRANK BARE, another cham- pion, is entered in the high bar, parallel bars, side horse, and rings. Gil Brinkmeyer, second . highest scorer behind Sullivan last year is entered in the same events. Jeff Austin, another top scorer, is entered in the tumbling and trampoline events. The loss to Penn State was only the second in four years for the Illini. Last season they dropped one to Michigan State in an up- set. The Illini defeated Coach Lo- ken's squad last year, 62V2-33%, and Michigan will be out to avenge that loss. By DICK LEWIS Floundering Michigan takes its third shot at win number three in the Big Ten basketball race tonight, encountering sixth-place Wisconsin at Madison. The hapless Wolverines have dropped five out of their last six conference decisions; the most re-' cent setback being a 30-point trouncing at the hands of defend- ing champion Illinois. BADGER COACH Harold (Bud) Foster will field a vastly-improved starting combination from the unit that split even in two clashes with Michigan last season. His vet- eran-studded cagers are favored to annex their sixth win in an even dozen league starts. Setting the pace in the well- balanced Wisconsin offense is Dick Cable, 6-1 forward who ranks 13th in the Western Con- ference scoring battle. Cable's 20 tallies paced an up- set, 76-74 verdict over Minnesota a few weeks ago. Earlier, the crew- cut junior banked in 15 and 18 in triumphs over Iowa and Ohio State. RIGHT BEHIND Cable in the point-getting columii is Paul Mor- row, 6-7 pivot operator. Bespect- acled Morrow has been averaging 13 points in loop tussles and is rated as-an excellent board man. Morrow hit for 15 points at Ann Arbor last year as the Wol- Deep Freeze FIRST PERI6D: 1-Minnesota, May- asicht(unassisted) 4:22. 2-Min- nesota, Mayasich (Anderson) 4:46. 3 -Minnesota, Campbell (Maya- sich, Anderson) 5:13.

Cavorting at the other Badger forward post is 6-2 Tony Stracka, a performer who was strictly util- ity last season but has suddenly blossomed out into a potent scoring threat. Stracka's 11.4 average per game marks him as one of Wis- consin's big three. * * FOSTER HAS molded a back- court threesome that rotates in and out of the ball game. This trio is composed of veterans Chuck Sie-, fert and Tom Ward, and junior Ron Weisner, all sharp shots from outside the foul circle. MILT MEAD * . . guards Morrow Trying to offset a repeat of last year's lop-sided Badger win at Madison, first-year coach Bill Perigo is expected to go with the same starting quintet that gave Illinois a fight for eight 'minutes last Monday night. Sophomore Paul Groffsky draws the piyot assignment and defen- sively will probably play opposite the high-scoring Cable. Groffsky currently is the 12th leading scor- er in the Big Ten and paces the Wolverines with a 206-point out- put. * * *' LANKY MILT Mead is Perigo's choice to hold down Morrow. Both of these competitors stand an even 6-7, with Morrow having a slight weight advantage. Once again, spunky Ray Pavi- chevich lines up as Mead's run- ning mate in the front court, while jumping John Codwell and dim- inutive captain Doug Lawrence bring up the Michigan rear guard. Lawrence was the top Maize and Blue point-maker at Madison a year ago with 15 markers.

Ross and Carroll are both members of the quartet that set the record at East Lan- sing last year.

The sprint medley appears to be another duel between the Wol- verines and Illinois. Ca'nham will pin his hopes on Scruggs, Ross, Coates, John Vallortigara, and Goeff Dooley. TWO FORMER Olympians, Fritz Nilsson of Michigan and Ar- nold Betton of Drake dominate the field events. Last year Nilsson took the shot with a heave of 53 feet, six inches and he should not be hard pressed to repeat his victory.
