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 By PHIL DOUGLIS Michigan and Michigan State 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. * * * BOTH COACHES are fairly op- timistic.

'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, - - -j--- - i ; I a slugging sophomore, leads the' conference at the plate with aI .500 batting average, while the whole Spartan squad leads the Big Ten in team hitting with a .302 percentage.
