THE MICHIGAN DAILY TRACK TEAMS WAIT FOR OPENING GUN Everything Ready for Big Western Carnival to Be Held Tonight RECORDS EXPECTED TO FALL AGAINST ATTACKS OF STARS Presence of Michigan for First Time Since 1906 Affords Extra Interest Champaign, Ill., March 2-(Special.) -Everything is set for the opening of the western intercollegiates tomorrow night in the mammoth new armory. All day today teams have piled into town from all directions. Tonight nearly all are now quartered in hotels marking time. Interest in the meet is unusual this year because of the presence of Michi- gan for the first time entered in a conference track engagement since 1906. The Wolverines arrived this noon from Chicago, and took up quar- ters at the Beardsley. Tonight they are the guests of an enthusiastic crowd of Michigan alumni from all over the state. Dope on Outcome Scarce Dope as to the probable outcome of the meet is scarce. Hazardous chances as to the strength of indiv- idual favorites are heard, but no defi- nite pickings are being made. The number of schools entered, and the stars which will be seen at the meet, preclude new conference indoor records, although this may not be the case owing to the earlyness of the season. Michigan Center or Interest Michigan is naturally the center of interest, and talk about he chances of the Wolverines against their old com- petitors holds first rank. O'Brien is expected to get a big place in the 75- yard dash, being an equal favorite with Captain Smith of Wisconsin. Hoyt of Grinnell is holding third place in the paper speculations Arlie Mucks, the giant Badger weight man, is a problem in the shot, with the dope favoring him above Cross, another Wolverine. Pat Smith, brother of Carmen Smith, is expected to land a place in this event. Simmons is the only other Michi- gander who is given a chance to land a first. Fighting it out with the non- conference men in the high jump are Webster of Illinois, Fisher of Chicago, and James of Northwestern. Captain Ames is expected to land both hurdles, although Packer of Ames may upset the dope by break- ing the tape in one or both. Relays Another Problem Little dope as to the Wolverine chances in the relays is known. The two dual meets which they have held this season have found them to pos- sess material which may be sufficient- ly fast to place high. If the Wolver- ines can improve by a scant margin in the mile relay, they stand an ex- cellent chance of taking the event from the conference.. Captain Car- roll's well known ability in the half mib has afforded food for thought as to the Wolverines copping a place here also. Preparations have been completed to handle one of the largest crowds which ever attended indoor games in the middle west. Badgers Enter But Two Men in Meet But two men from the University of Wisconsin, Capt. Smith and Burke, left yesterday afternoon to compete in the Illinois relay carnival. Smith will enter in the broad jump, dashes and hurdles, while his confrere will enter the all-round championship match. Let us plan a unique dinner dance for you.

Assistant Attorney General Ober- meyer, of New York, announced yes- terday that Hugh Browne's contract, calling for a ten-round bout between Dillon and Les Darcy as a "copper- riveted" legal document had lulled all opposition to the affair. -Carlson f/owls Season Record Rolls 266 in Last Night's Oberlin Match; Averages 213 in Three Games In spite of some low individual scores the Michigan bowling team rolled up a team total of 2,579 in a match with Oberlin.

Hos- tilities will be resumed tonight when 20 teams will take the floor. The first night of festivities brought to light little new in the line of pre- season dope. The defeat of the for- esters, third placers in last year's con- test, at the hands of the graduates, newcomers to this brand of competi- tion, practically puts the woodmen out of the running. The soph lits, cam- pus title leaders could get nothing better than an event count in their tussle with the juniors of the same de- partment and therefore cannot be placed yet. Victories obtained by the senior laws, fresh lits, and soph eng- ineers make them slight favorites. Twenty teams are scheduled to com- pete in ten games tonight, which will complete the second set in the first round of the tournament. Another set will be played on Monday night, finishing the first round. The schedule for tonight's games is as follows: 7 o'clock- Court 1, fresh lits vs. junior lits; court 2, soph lits vs. senior lits; court 3, fresh engineers vs. junior engineers; court 4, soph engineers vs. senior engineers. 7:40 o'clock-Court 1, soph engin- eers vs. homoeops; court 2, junior- senior medics vs. fresh medics; court 3, junior laws vs. senior laws; court 4, junior dents vs. senior dents. 8:20 o'clock-Court 3, architects vs. grads; court 4, foresters vs. pharmics. ii INDOOR BASEBALL DROPPED UNTIL MIDDLE OF NEXT WEEK With the coming of interclass bask- etball, indoor baseball has been shoved out of the limelight. The senior eng- ineers are at present the only team who have put in their appearance for practice, and the schedule, which1 should have been started yesterday, has been postponed until next week by Intramural Director Rowe. Never has so little interest been tak- en in in the indoor brother of this country's national sport;Oand it is a possibility that the game will be drop- ped from the University's list of sports, unless more enthusiasm is shown within the near future. If indications are reliable, the schedule will be ar- ranged to start about next Wednesday, but more teams will have to start practice to make this possible.
