Coach Don Canhaim had been counting on the performance of the Big Ten indoor low hurdles champ to repeat in the outdoor. meet, but Love will have to be in top condition to beat Illinois' Wil- lard Thomson. Thomson Big Threat In the Big Ten Relays a week and a half ago, Thomson finish- ed the 220 low hurdles in 22.9, the season's best effort in Big Ten r competition. Love finished third to Thomson in this race, but his best time is only one tenth second slower. Since Michigan and Illinois are All-Campus Golf The winners in the all-cam- pus* golf tournament played Tuesday were: Bob Hawkins, 79-74-153; Harry McCallum, 75-81-156; and Paul Lay, 78- 79-157. the top contenders for the Con- ference crown, Love's being in top shape is important in this individual battle. All year, his time has been in the neighborhood of 23 seconds. Officially, his best time was re- corded in this season's victory over Penn State and Navy, when he ran the hurdles in 23.3. He has an unofficial mark of 23 seconds flat, but because of the wind in that meet, this time was not officially recognized. Pulled Muscle Love sustained his injury last weekend in the Chicago Athletic Club meet when he pulled a leg muscle in the high hurdles. Since then he has only been doing light workouts and has been giving his injured leg heat treatments. Despite his uncertainty as to whether the troublesome leg will be in good enough shape to help take some of the pressure off Michigan in the big meet, Love's over-all attitude was one of en- * couragement. "I'll do alright, but naturally, it won't be the same as if I had never been injured," hq commented. By HAP ATHERTON Indiana's quest for a fourth straight Big Ten Tennis crown may be short lived. A sophomore-laden Michigan squad is the favorite to beat de- fending champions Indiana in the Big Ten Conference meet which begins today at Evanston, Ill. Indiana's chances for a repeat look slim. The Hoosiers have lost the services of Duane Gomer, Bob Barker, and Dick Bennett, who played prominent roles in the last three Championship races. On the lighter side, however, the Hoosiers can count on the ser- vices of two returning champs, Captain John Hironimus and Bob Martin. They teamed up to cap- ture the number one doubles matchtin the championship battle last year. Seek First Crown Since 1945 The Wolverines go into the meet with an unbeaten record in dual meet competition during the 1955 season, and will be seeking its first conference crown since 1945. Coach Bill Murphy has describ- ed this team as the best he has ever coached, including his unde- feated 1949 and 1950 squads which lost out to Northwestern in the Conference tournaments. One rea- son for his praise of the squad is the success of three sophomores, Barry MacKay, Mark Jaffe, and Dick Potter, who have captured first, second, and third slots on the team, respectively. MacKay is almost a sure win in the number one single posi- tion, despite the fact that last year's champion, Al Kuhn of Northwestern, will see action in the tournament. MacKay was un- beaten in his season matches, which included extended match wins over Kuhn and Hironimus. Excellent Chances Several other Wolverines have excellent chances for firsts. Al Mann and Pete Paulus are un- defeated in singles competition this season, while Bob Paley has lost only one match, that one to Carl Dentice of Indiana who won the number six singles crown last year. Jaffe and Potter have fair chance of success in their bid for number two and three crowns, re- spectively. Jaffe has dropped three matches, including one to the Badger's Jack Vincent. Pot- ter has lost three, two in the Big Ten to Northwestern's Keith Anderson and Indiana's Bob Mar- tin. Michigan's toughest competition according to Coach Murphy, will come from the teams which it has soundly defeated. Besides Indiana, stiff battles are expected from Il- linois, Northwestern, and Wiscon- son. The number one doubles battles should prove to be some of the most exciting matches, with In- diana, Illinois, and Michigan in contention.

By DIANE LaBAKAS Michigan's number three ten- nis star, sophomore Dick Potter, will have his work cut out for him this weekend. Potter, whose strong service and fine ground strokes have given him a 10-3 season record, will be all out to win the third singles chani- pionship from current titleholder Bob Martin of Indiana in the Big Ten Championships starting today at Evanston, Ill. Martin Biggest Threat Despite a loss to Northwestern's Keith Anderson earlier in the year, Potter expects Martin to be his biggest threat. Martin barely beat him in a close three-set match last Saturday. Potter and Barry MacKay, whose only loss as a team came at the hands of Indiana, will be one of the top favorites to win the first doubles title, with the chief op- position coming from Northwest- ern's Al Kuhn and Paul Bennett. One of the many Hamtramck High School stars, Potter won his first tournament at the age of 12 and was groomed as being one of the city's top players. After participating in a tourna- ment almost every weekend and practicing consistently indoors and outdoors, Potter fulfilled many of the big hopes set for him by setting a record in win- ning the state high school singles title three consecutive times. Before graduating from the junior ranks in 1952, he won the Michigan state boys' doubles championship in 1949, 1951, and 1952. He also copped the Orange Bowl boys' doubles title in 1950 and was ranked 16th in the na-I tional junior boys singles and sixth in national doubles. "ACTIVATED CHARCOAL FlLTER, TOO!"
