Michigan's star-studded track
team has received an invitation to
perform behind the Iron Curtain,
Coach Don Canham revealed to-
day.
In a telegram received Tuesday,
Canham and several members of
the Wolverine cinder squad were
invited to participate in the 12th
Annual World University Games,
to be held in Budapest, Hungary,
from July 31 to August 8.
* * *
ACCORDING to the information
received by Canham, many coun-
tries have been invited to send uni-
versity athletes. The proposed
Michigan delegation has been of-
fered an expense-free trip to the
games.
"I'm not optimistic about the
possibilities for taking such a
trip," he added, 'but it would be
a wonderful opportunity for the
fellows. We intend to explore all
the possibilities."
TWO PROBLEMS stand in the
way of the proposed trip-an okay
by the United States Department
of State and approval by the Uni-
versity.
When asked whether it is un-
usual to guarantee expenses,
Canham answered, "Guaranteed
expenses on European trips are
not unusual at all.
"Last summer I took an AAU
team on a tour of Europe in which

collide head on today and tomor-
row in a three game showdown se-
ries with the Big Ten baseball
crown as the virtual prize.
The teams play today at 3:30 on
East Lansing's Old College Field
in a single tilt, and return here to-
morrow to Ferry Field for a cru-
cial doubleheader starting at 1:30.
* * *
THE SPARTANS are leading
the league by one game with a 6-1
record, with Ray Fisher's Wol-
verines close behind in second
place sporting a 7-2 conference
mark.
One of the league's top hur-
lers, Bud Erickson, will hurl
today for the Spartans, against
Michigan's Jack Ritter. Erick-
son, a sharp curve baller, sports
a 3-0 season mark, and will be
hard to beat.
Saturday, Michigan will parade
it's own league leading pitcher in
the person of Jim Corbett, and
will follow up with Marv Wis-
niewski. Michigan State is ex-
pected to pitch Eddy Nobaugh,
Chuck Gorman, or Dick Idzkowski
on Saturday.

'The proposed meet at Budapest,
pitting American university track
men against the best European
university athletes, would undoubt-
edly draw a large enough crowd to
cover the expenses," he added.
Kobs says "The Wolverines are in
a position where they have to beat
us to take the title. They cannot
falter a minute." Fisher admits
that State has the best ball club
in the league, with by far the bet-
ter hitting, but claims that "if
our pitchers play it smart out
there, we're going to be plenty
tough."
The Spartans lead the confer-
ence not only in the standings,
but also in hitting. Ray Collard,

on the results of the individual
matches in the Michigan State

in Western Michigan the Wol-

doubles matches, a 10-8 score was
