Indiana finished behind Illinoi with 87 points, followed by Ohi State with 88 and Wisconsin wit] 95. Northwestern and Purdue faile to compete, while Minnesota and Iowa also lacked a full team. Canham Pleased Michigan track coach, Don Can ham, was extremely pleased wit the squad's showing, saying thai all runners "performed to absolute capacity." There were 43 runners in the four-mile event, with Wol- verine runners among the leaders from the start. John Moule, Michigan miler, picked up a fourth place to lead the Wolverines across the finish tape. His time was a good 20:38. Al Labina placed seventh with a fast 20:43. Ron Wallingford, Michi- gan two-miler, was second in the pack about 700 yards from the fin- ish line. However, he was forced to slow down to a near walk be- cause of stomach cramps. His time of 21:19 was god enough to give him 17th place. Geoff Dooley, Wolverine half mil- er, ran the four-mile event in 20:50 to take eighth place behind La- bina. Lou Kwiker finished in the 25th spot with a time of 22:04. Ferguson Forced to Quit Iowa's Rich Ferguson, seeking his third straight individual title, *was forced to qui$ the race while running in the final mile. This led the way' for Jim Lambert of In- diana, who came' in first with a 19:59, 80 yards ahead of Ohio State's Bob Coldren. Sophomore Bob Mansfield, running the dis- tance in 22:04, placed 25th, while Chuck Morton, another soph, crossed the line in 33rd place in 22:34. r The weather was ideal for run- ning," commented Canham. The race was held in Washington Park -southwest of Chicago. Michigan's victory was the first in 32 years of the fall sport. The meet attracted the largest number of teams in the Big Ten Conference since World War II. Eligibility of Army Gridder To Be Probed NEW YORK MP)-Asa A. Bush- nell, commissioner of the Eastern College Athletic Conference, said yesterday the eligibility of Tommy Bell, Army halfback, was being studied by appropriate committees of the ECAC and that a prompt decision could be expected. It was discovered Thursday that Bell, who has averaged 11.59 yards a try from his right halfback post, was playing his fifth season with the Cadets, two of them as fresh-' men.1 Bushnell's office pointed out that both the military and naval academies had received permis- sion to waive certain sections of the normal eligibility rules and that the Bell case required special study. Lt. Col. James T. L. Schwenk, graduate manager of athletics, said Army knew of Bell's status butc felt the Cadets had not violatedc any rules. £t>l. x 6* cr s"- SC ate'Slgh Favorite; s.......r...4R telih ~s's. " ~ ~ -~ .

Leroy Bolden, State's ace left half and leading ground gainer, is back in top physical condition from a leg injury that has hobbled him most of the season. Matsock To Start In addition quarterback Johnny Matsock, in spite of rumors to the contrary, will start at quarterback despite a pulled thigh muscle that Commission Investigates Fight Guild NEW YORK M-The State Ath- letic Commission yesterday heard 21 witnesses in an inquiry into charges of alleged "blacklisting and discrimination" by the New York Boxing Managers Guild against members of the recently formed Metropolitan Boxing Alli- ance. Members of the MBA claim they are being blacklisted because they are not members of the guild and refuse to pay $100 for each TV performance of a main event box- ing card. Continued Next Week At the conclusion of more than six hours of testimony, the com- mission, with chairman Robert K. Christenberry presiding, ordered the inquiry continued until next Friday. Matchmakers, promoters a n d managers were heard yesterday In addition 13 members of the al- liance, mainly composed of man- agers, gave affidavit to the com- mission. Manuel Robbins, attorney for the commission, asked the promoters and matchmakers whether the New York Boxing Managers Guild had exerted any influence to keep non-members and members of the MBA from getting any fights, whether anyone from the guild had asked them to confine their match- es to guild members, and whether they had anything to do with pay- ing a $100 television "donation" to the guild for each main event fighter on a TV program. Blanket Denials All but one made blanket deni- als. That was Tex Sullivan, match- maker for the London Sporting Club at St. Nicholas Arena in New York. Sullivan said in the case of some 19 of 52 main event fighters, he had checks for $100 made out to managers. He said the managers, most of them from California, had told him to make out checks to' them for $100 and leave the checks with Gus D'Amato, collector for the guild. Sullivan said they told him they had to get out of town and wanted1 to make their "donations" to the guild. The guild claims the $100 "dona- tions" are voluntary and the mon- ey is used to pay the expenses of the organization. MSC Lewis Robinson Nystrom Rody Bullough Diener Kauth Matsock Bolden Peaks Planutis has kept him from donning a uni- form all week. Even if the injury should hobble Matsock, Daugherty has Earl Morall available for re- lief. Morrall stands as his top passer with 33 completions for a total of 603 yards. The Spartans finally settled on the split-T offense as they :rolled over Washington State last week, and it is this type of attack that has given Coach Bennie Ooster- baan and his Wolverines plenty of headaches at several key points this season. Army quarterback Pete Vann utilized the potential of the split- T to its fullest as he and his mates bewildered Michigan. And it was Indiana, with Flor- ian Helsinki at the helm, that dealt the Wolverines their only Confer- ence setback with a similar of- fense. Today's contest marks the 47th such affair in the long intra-state rivalry. Michigan has beaten State 33 times, while the Spartans own 10 victories with three of the bat- tles ending in a tie.

The Buckeyes, No. 2 in The As- sociated Press national poll, are a one-touchdown favorite to hur- dIe the Boilermakers and thus clinch at least a championship tie. Ohio State now leads the Big Ten with 5-0 and Michigan is second Iwith 4-1. An Ohio State triumph today would require Michigan to conquer Michigan State in a tossup battle before 97,000 at Ann Arbor, Mich., and then spill the Buckeyes at Columbus next Saturday to cre- ate a final tie between the Bucks and Wolverines. Soecer Squad To Play Host To State Today Michigan State's soccer team in- vades Ann Arbor to battle the Michigan squad at 10:00 this morn- ing on the soccer field east of the Stadium. The Wolverines will be out to even up their season's record, which now stands at one win and two losses. They will also be seek- ing to avenge the defeat which the Spartans administered to thei. two weeks ago at East Lansing. It will be the soccer team's final home game. Next week they tray el to Columbus to meet Ohio" State to end the season. The Wolverines are striving for membership in the Midwestern In- tercollegiate Soccer League, and wins this week and next would un- doubtedly augment their chances. Lakers Win RALIEGH, N.C.
