Today and tomorrow, the link- Sters will compete in the Big Ten M~eet here for the Conference championship. Wolverine hopes will rest on a six man contingent made up of Captain Bob McMasters, F r e d Wicklow, Skip MacMichael, Steve Uselac, John Schubeck and Henry Loeb. Michigan has been cast as one of the three pre-meet favorites, along with Ohio State and Purdue. How- ever, Coach Bert Katzenmeyer is very non-committal about his team's chances. In his own words, Katzenmeyer has "never been so unsure of any- thing in his whole life." One thing is sure however. Everyone on the Michigan team will have to turn in a top perform- ance if the Wolverines have any chance of taking the title. Man for man, the championship potential is there, but that poten- tial will have to be fulfilled if the Wolverines are to triumph over the other nine squads. Michigan will probably get its strongest opposition from I a s t year's champions, Purdue, who hol year's champions, Purdue. who hold two dual meet decisions over the Wolverines. Campbell Leads Purdue The Boilermakers are led by the great Joe Campbell, defending NCAA champion and probably the outstanding collegiate ;golfer in the country. Ohio State, another strong con- tender, will field one of the most balanced squads in the Big Ten. The Buckeye's strongest contend- ers for individual honors will pro- bably be Rick Jones, Fritz Schmidt and Mike Mural. Minesota, Michigan State, Wis- consin and Northwestern will as- sume the roles of dark horses. The -Gophers will bring with them a team that has compiled a, very respectable dual meet re- cords, while the Badgers have in their lineup, Roger Rubendall, who was. Big Ten champion last year. MSU has their strongest team in recent years, and' rate at least an outside chance to cop top honors. A home course advantage should help the Wildcats, and could make them very dangerous. The remaining three teams, In- diana, Iowa and Illinois have shown very little in their dual meet season, and do not figure to cause any great excitement this weekend. Last year, the Michigan aggre- gation placed fourth in the con- ference meet, behind Purdue, Ohio State and Wisconsin. Uzelac led the Wolverines, finishing fifth with a 227. -Daily-Dick Gaskili JUST WARMING UP-Michigan's Jim Pace will change from sweat clothes he's donning here for practice to the colors of Maize Blue this afternoon at Minneapolis when he concentrates his efforts. on the 100-yd. dash in the Big Ten Outdoor Track and Field Championships. About the only thing which could delay Michigan's winning the Big Ten tennis title occured yes- terday-rain. At Minneapolis for the big meet. the Wolverines will have to wait a day before they begin the de-! fense of the Conference crown. All matches postponed yesterday will be played today. It is expected that the tournament will still con- clude Saturday afternoon. Since the tournament is being played on cement courts, the Wol- verines had been practicing their last few days in Ann Arbor at the Burns Park Courts. Thus the hard- er surface of Minnesota's courts should not be too strange to the squad. Feature Match The feature match of the tour- nament, barring early round up- sets will be the expected clash between Michigan's Barry Mac- Kay and Al Kuhn of Northwestern. Kuhn lost to MacKay in a dual match this season 9-7, 6-4. The Wolverine netters definite- ly rate as the favorites in the Con- ference meet, on the basis of their brilliant play extending over the last two seasons. The team has a consecutive winning streak of 31 dual meet victories. Michigan's biggest threat for the title should come from either Northwestern, Illinois or Indiana, with Michigan State being given an outside chance to win. How- ever, on the basis of season's per- formance, none rate a really good chance to upset the Maize and Blue. Michigan's chances for a very high finish in the NCAA meet next month received a big setback when MacKay definitely accepted MICHIGAN, IOWA FAVORED:. Tracksters Open Defense of Title an invitation to appear in Eng- land this June with the Davis Cup squad. He will be competing for a final berth on the squad. The Wolverines will have an especially tough time scoring points in thet NCAA meet because no points are given until a player reaches the last few rounds of the tourney. Last year, Michigan placed fifth with two points. Sig Eps VWin' In I-MTilt; Gain Finals By FRITZ MYERS Sparked by the no-hitting of Cal Atwood, Sigma Phi Epsilon blank- ed a determined Pi Lambda Phi team, 6-0. Led by the hard hitting of GeorgehLempio and Ted Doden- hoff, the Sig Fps have garnered the right to meet Lambda Chi Al- pha in the finals of the social- fratternity playoffs. Behind the inconsistent hurl- ing of Ed Lubin, the Pi Lams, as a result of a fluke bounce to the Sig Eps second-baseman, Jim Cart- wright, were able to put only one man on base during the one-sided contest. The other social fraternity con- test of the afternoon resulted in a win for Sigma Alpha Epsilon over Alpha Tau Omega, 9-3. Led by the strong arm of Ron Polland, the SAE's had little difficulty with the weak hitting ATOs. As a re- sult of this victory, the SAEs will meet Tau Delta Phi in the finals of the second-place play- offs, Highlighting the professional fraternity games was the one-sided contest between first place final- ists Phi Alpha Kappa and Delta Sigma Delta. Led by the excellent pitching of Wes Sikkema, the Phi Kaps blanked the Delt Sigs, 9-0. With this win the PAKs have assured themselves births in the first place playoffs to be held this weekend. Gil Lavey exhibited some fine hurling as he paced the Alpha Brooklyn at New York (night) Pittsburgh at Philadelphia (night) Cincinnati at Milwaukee (night) Chicago at St. Louis (night) Special To The Daily MINNEAPOLIS, Mitn.-Who is going to stop Michigan in its quest for a second straight Big Ten track crown here this afternoon and tomorrow? Iowa's strong Hawkeyes think they have'the answer, and Michi- gan coach Don Canham is about to agree with them. If what the wiry mentor says about the Wol- verines' injuries is true, trouble could be brewing. In search of their fourth straight title-indoor and -outdoor meets included together-the potentially untouchable Ann uArbrites could be in for a real squabble. Canham lists several men whose. physical condition is doubtful. Gray In Poor Shape Pete Gray, who will be out to defend his half-mile laurels, won last year at Colvmbus, has little LARGE SHIPMENT chance of doing so, Canham fears. "In the shape he's in, it may be all he can do to get under 2:00," he said. Gray was hard-hit by mumps several weeks ago. In addition, Dick Flodin and Bob Brown, two important dash men in the Maize and Blue setup, are re- covering from a strained ligament and pulled leg muscle, respectively. "If Brown and Flodin are hurt, we're dead," Canham moaned. Laird Sloan and Don Matheson, both middle-distance performers who figured to add to the point totals, will also see limited action, if any, thanks again to the leg- muscle plague. Mumps Fell Gluppe I And George Gluppe, another re- rlay man, isn't even making the trip, so hard-hit was he by the mumps bug. Scheduled for this afternoon are the broad-jump trials and the dis- cus trials and finals among the field events. Running events will include trials and semi-finials in the 220 and 440 and the 220-yd. low hurd- les, and trials in the 880, 100 and the 120 highs. As in the indoor meet, won by Michigan last March at Lansing, Captain Ron Wallingford will be called upon in both the mile and two mile, and should repeat easily, in the latter. Other Wolverines who should re- tain their outdoor titles are Dave Owen in the shot and Mark Booth in the high jump. With the absence of Jim Golli- dad from Northwestern's plans, Jim Pace could rank as the man to catch in the 109, while Eeles Landstrom should reign in the pole vault. been :48.6 in the 440. Les Stev- ens, Iowa's triple threat man, has done :14.1 in the high hurdles, :23.6 in the lows and is also the Big Ten Indoor high jump co- champion; an honor which he holds jointly with Mark Booth of Michigan. He has high jumped 6' 6%". Iowa's mile relay team has reg- istered a respectable time of 3:16.5. 'M' Nine Opposes MSU* Fight for Second Place. U JUST RECEIVED - Short Sleeve Sport Skirts * $2.50 &-up also JUST RECEIVED- 200 PAIR OF $8.95 Value ' By LYNN TOWLE and AL JONES It looks as if it will be a toss up in the Michigan-Michigan State series thisfinal baseball weekend. The Wolverines left for East Lansing at 10:30 this morning where they will clash with the Spartans in a single game this afternoon. Michigan State will then travel to Ferry Field to meet the Wol- verine nine in a double header tomorrow afternoon. Game time is 1:30 p.m. . All of Michigan's first place hopes were crushed by the double defeat at the hands of league leading Minnesota last weekend. The pair of one run losses made it mathematically impossible for the Maize and Blue squad to fin- ish the Conference season higher than-second place. Michigan's second place chances depend on a long list of "ifs." While the Wolverines rest in a tie for fourth place with Indiana, with a 4-4 record opposed to the Hoosiers 5-5 mark. Second place Ohio State -posts a 7-3 count and third place Wiscon- sin holds a 5-4 record. Coach Ray Fisher's squad must garner two more wins than either Ohio State or Wisconsin as the season is wrapped up today and tomorrow. This means that Michigan will need a clean sweep of the series with MSU in order to finish in a possible second. Minnesota should handle the Buckeyes, but the Wolverines can only hope that Iowa will split with; OSU.I Wear Aertexe "the world's coolest shirt" American sportsmen have come to the same conclusion as we have - that an English fabric. called Aerlex is the world's coolest shirting.
