The Michigan track coach, usually as optimistic as a Democrat in Vermont, had good cause to worry about tomorrow's dual meet with Indiana at Ferry M'eld. The Hoosiers have enough strength -this season to give any team trouble in a dual meet-and the Wolverines are far from their top physical strength .. . . So I wasn't too surprised when Canham delivered his trade- marked misery narration to me the other day in his office. "We're in for trouble," he admitted, "because you can't have too many of your good men on the sidelines and still expect to win." The Wolverines have not lost a dual meet in over three years, and it will take some top performances by the home squad to keep the string intact. Michigan's habitual dominance over its competition in dual meets in recent years has kept n f many fans away from Ferry Field. Who wants to see a track team go through little more than a work- out? This is no excuse for missing tomorrow's meet. f > .

Michigan will be weakened by the absences of Laird Sloan, Don Matheson and George Gluppe-three-fourths of the mile relay team, And Pete Gray, still feeling the effects of his battle with the mumps, isn't breaking records these days. This, added to the recent mediocre showing of the team (last Saturday), gives Canham good reason to forgoe optimism. By AL JONES Michigan's baseball team must toe the line this weekend. .Weather permitting, the Wol- verines will host Illinois this aft- ernoon at 3:30 for a single game, and meet Purdue tomorrow at 1:30 p.m. for a doubleheader at Ferry .... .Field. These three games are vital to Michigan's hopes of a Conference championship. At present the Wol- verines share fifth place with Michigan State. Three victories would place them in the midst of . the title race.

Fisher OptimisticJ Even so, Fisher looks at this weekend with some optimism.r Illinois is ahead of Michigan int the Conference standings, but havet grabbed thre of their four victor- ies from a weak Purdue team, while being downed by Minnesota and splitting with Iowa. Fisher plans to start veteran pitcher Don Poloskey against the Illini, while Illinois coach Lee3 Eilbracht is uncertain about his starter. The Illini are a stronger hitting team than the Wolverines have faced in previous Conference get- ion. Led by second baseman Billy Bolk, they have made up for weak pitching by showing strong hit- ting, Purdue Winless Purdue should not prove as strong a test. After six Conference games, the Boilermakers have yet All-Campus Champs By BOB McELWAIN Michigan's tennis team, hoping to extend its winning streak, plays host to Illinois today at 2:15 p.m. on the Varsity Courts. Tomorrow the Wolverines travel to Columbus, where they will meet Ohio State in another Big Ten match, These and all other Big Ten matches are looked upon as simply concentrated practice sessions for Western Conference teams, as they are pointing to the Big Ten Cham- pionships to be held at Minneapolis on May 24-26. Friendly Warning Illinois was reputed to have only a 'fair' team at the season's start, but Coach Dale Lewis of Indiana recently warned Michigan's coach, Bill Murphy, that "Illinois has a surprisingly good squad this year." Despite this optimistic note, the Illini are not expected to pose much of a threat to the defending champion Wolverines. Only two lettermen return to bolster Illinois, which finished third in the Big Ten Championships last year. I Senior Harry Brandt, slated to play in the number two singles spot, is the only two-letter winner on this year's squad. Playing num- ber six singles last year, he com- piled an 8-4 record in dual meets. As a sophomore last year, Jim Van Tine had a 12-2 mark as the fourth singles man. He has been moved up to third this year. Big man on the squad is newcomer Carl Noble, a highly rated sopho- more who has jumped to the num- ber one singles position. Ohio State finished ninth in the Big Ten tourney last year, and this year's squad has given no indi- cation that the Buckeyes' immedi- ate tennis future is much better. In facing another dismal season, Ohio State Coach Hermann Wirth- wein has few lettermen to rely on.. One of the few, Fritz Haring, has been put in the number one singles slot, with only mediocre success. Yesterday in the finals of the all-campus paddleball doubles tournament, Warren Werthei- mer and Dave Kaufman de- feated Jim Arnold and Al Lif- shay, 12-21, 21-20, 21-10. In the squash singles finals Paul Marden beat Dick Ahlbleck, 17- 15, 15-11, 15-2. having collected two home runs. Fisher plans to start pitcher Bill Thurston in the first game, and move centerfielder Bruce Fox to the mound for the second of the} twin bill. Bit 'Ten Statndings W L Pet.

ENOUGH ABOUT tomorrow's meet. Being somewhat of a track fan, I used this opportunity to ask5 the Michigan coach a few questions about track itself. My first query had an immediate effect on him- you'd think I had pulled the trigger on a starter's gun: "How come there is such little personal glory for individuals in track, compared to other amateur sports, such as football." "You are absolutely . . .'wrong!" he countered. He then went on to. tell me that my conception is a popular but erroneous one. I breathed a sigh of relief-at least I'm not alone in my ignorance. "But," I responded, fighting back like a champion, "prove it to me." "Okay," he grinned, "here goes." "Who is Wes Santee?" 'That's easy," says me, "he's the miler, formerly of Kansas." "Right," he replied, "but who was last year's all-America end, beside& Ron Kramer?" It took me about five seconds to think of Ron Beagle.

He showed me the scrap book he keeps-clippings from all parts of the country- all about a certain track team called Michigan. I was frankly amazed to see how the West Coast papers "played" track, especially Michigan track. Los Angeles sheets bannered stories about the mile relay team . . as did San Francisco's dailies . . . and I could see that Michigan's track team, (Wer the past few years, is a headliner almost everywhere but. . Ann Arbor. "Getting back to this glory business," he went on, "what can be more glorifying than visiting the world, and that's exactly what track stars, and sometimes whole teams do." He cited examples of the many Michigan athletes who have been invited to Europe, where track is the major sport. He stopped his oration long enough to ask: "Are you convinced?" I nodded glumly.
