MAX & SON CARTAGE CO. 319 DEPOT STREET (N.Y.C.R.R. FREIGHT HOUSE) ANN ARBOR, MICH. U.S.A. and Canada TELEPHONE NORMANDY 23330 By DAVE GREY There has never been a Big Ten school able to win three Confer- ence track titles in one season. Holder of the cross-country and indoor championships, Michigan, today for a win in the Big Ten however, will be starting its quest Outdoor Track Championship to be held at Columbus this weekend.' The Wolverines are rated as hav- ing an at-least-even chance of be- coming the first "triple crown" winner in Big Ten cinder history. The opening events today will mark the 20-year anniversary of JesseOwens' brilliant performance in the 1935 championships held in Ann Arbor. Conditioning Important Conditioning could very well prove to be the key to any title hopes. Michigan has three men in doubtful shape, while leading-con- tender Illinois appears to be far better off physically than when it competed in the indoors. In fact, with hurler Jim Love weak- ened by a pulled muscle, all- around field man Ron Kramer hampered by a sore hand, and high-jumper Mark Booth still bothered by a groin injury, coach Don Canham is quite pessimistic about the Wolverines' chances. Valuable sprinter John Vallor- tigara, who has turned in a :21.5 time in the 220, has been injured all spring season, and he will not even make the trip. M' Slight Favorite Despite the shaky condition of several key stars, Michigan still ranks as a slight favorite. There are, however, too many unforeseen factors that could alter the final outcome of the 55th annual meet. Besides Illinois, Michigan State and Indiana also have to be reck- oned with. The Spartans are par- ticularly strong in the sprints and could take away valuable points from either the Ilini or Michi- gan. The same holds true for In- diana, especially if previously- lame Milt Campbell is back in top- flight running condition. On a point-for-point basis, the final score between Illinois and Canham's squad should be very tight. A reasonably conservative estimation by Canham sees Illi- nois winning "on paper" by a 44- 41% margin. Only John Johnson is expected to place high up in the sprints against some of the fastest men in the country-Jim Golliday of Northwestern who recently tied the world mark in the 100-yd. dash in :09.3; Julius McCoy of MSC,c who has cut his 220 time down to :21.2; and Kevin Gosper, also ofa State, holder of a handsome 440 clocking of :46.9 at this past week- end's Coliseum Relays in Los An- gsele. Love Limited Love will have his hands full against Illinois' "deadly hurdles duo" of Willard Thomson and Abe Woodson in the 220 lows. Love will Read and Use Daily Classifieds be in no shape to run the 120 highs, especially since most events will require a strenuous schedule of running elimination heats, semi-finals, and then finals. The middle distances are where the Wolverines are hoping to pick up needed points. Pete Gray will be hard-pressed by Henry Cryer of Illinois, who has turned in a time of 1:52.3 in the 880. Gray's best in competition so far this spring has been 1:52.4. The mile run should be a close one, with Iowa's Rich Ferguson and 'M' captain John Moule placed Sas favorites. Moule's best is still 3.6 seconds away from the 4:13.5 mile recorded by Ferguson this spring. Besides Ron Wallingford in the two-mile, Michigan is also ex- pecting to pile up points in the mile relay, with Indiana rated as a strong second, and in the field events. Indoor shot put winner DaverOwen will be a strong con- tender to repeat. One or more of the high-jump group of Booth, Kramer, and Howie Liverance could supply places. Tom Hend- ricks and Junior Stielstra give the Wolverines two of the top broad- jumpers in the Big Ten. If Kramer can come through to place in the discus and Bob Ap- pleman in the pole vault, the fl- nal outcome of the Meet could swing in Michigan's favor. Wolverines Have Numbers The championships will be scored 5-4-3-2-1 for the first five places, so that depth will be an- other important factor. In sheer numbers, the Wolverines have al- most twice the number of entries as Illinois. Under this scoring system and the 8-6-4-2 total for the mile re- lay, every placing becomes impor- tant in relationship to what it does to the possible point totals of the leading contenders. The Wolver- ines can only "cross their fingers and hope that the right things happen at the right time." RON KRAMER DON ALBERT and MARK BOOTH ... Boilermaker captain MacKay Beats Hironomus, Faces Kuhn in Semi-Finals By STEVE HEILPERN A wide-open scramble for team honors is seen as the Big Ten Golf Tournament gets under way today at Lafayette, Ind. A field of 60 golfers will tee off early this morning on Purdue's hilly South course to start the 72- hole grind, which will continue through tomorrow. The host Boilermakers, led by Joel Campbell and Captain Don Albert, loom as favorites, but four other teams, including Bert Katz- enmeyer's erratic Michigan Wol- verines, are given a good chance for the title. Ohio State is defend- ing team champion. Scored on Aggregate Medal Play The meet is scored exclusively on aggregate medal play; only the total scores of each six-man team are considered. Purdue's course is 6,392 yards long and par is 71. Purdue is undefeated, Ohio State has lost only to Purdue, and Minnesota has yet to taste defeat. Iowa possesses a fine seasonal rec- ord and is rated a "dark horse" contender. Michigan, sadly plagued by a slump in recent weeks, re- stored its confidence with a bril- liant win at Detroit last Saturday INDEPENDENT TENNIS FINAL Evans Scholars 2, Newman 1 and will be a definite title threat if it displays the form shown then, Purdue Tough on Own Course The Boilermakers, however, are exceptionally tough to beat on their own course, as was evidenced by their crushing win over Michi- gan and Ohio State earlier in the season. Purdue has won the team title seven of the last eight years. Andy Andrews, Fred Loeb and Steve Uzelac have improved con- siderably in the last two weeks, and could be at their playing peak today and tomorrow. John Schu- beck, who led the squad during the early part of the season, has been disappointing as of, late, but may regain his winning form in time to aid his mates. r McMasters Raises Coach's Hopess Bob McMasters has paralleled Schubeck to a great degree, butK his fine performances recently have raised Katzenmeyer's hopes. Fred Micklow has been improving steadily all year, and has been brilliant on occasion. The Wolverines carry a medi- ocre 5-6-2 record into the tourna- ment, but seasonal records are not always as significant in golf as they are in other Conference sports. Links coaches use dual and triangular meets as testing grounds for the all-important cli- mactic tournament, and they ex- periment much in these tests with the aim of finding the six best men for the championship try.

Two Hoosiers and three Badgers were eliminated from further singles competition. Jaffe Defeats Vincent Mark Jaffe joined MacKay in impressively representing the Wol- verines in the opening round. He avenged his only conference dual meet loss of the season by soundly beating Wisconsin's Al Vincent in second singles play, 6-3, 6-3. Al Mann, Bob Paley, and Pete Paulus all gained semi-finals berths by defeating their first foes in straight sets in the fourth, fifth, and sixth singles competitions, re- spectively. Only Dick Potter, in the third singles position, suffered an upset for the Wolverines as he bowed to Indiana's JerryParchute, 1-6, 6-3, 6-3. The Hoosier, trampled by Jaf- fe earlier this season finally solved Potter's blistering services in the last two sets to win. Michigan's doubles activity was almost nil. Mann and Captain Bob Nederlander had no opportunity, because of the weather, to begin the defense of their second dou- bles title. Likewise, Jaffe and Pa- ley, undefeated as a team, failed to see action. Their work will begin this morning. MacKay and Potter did manage to play a non-point-worthy pre- liminary match with Jim Andrews and Gene Nadig of Iowa. The Wol- verines first doubles combo won handily, 6-4, 6-2. 1 - TICE & WREN Cot/3 f,.
