SIMPSON HOLDS UP TIGERS
Missouri Star Is Expected to Win
Three Events in Western :
Conference Meet.
MAY WIN PLACES IN OTHERS


Chicago, May 27.-If Bob Simp-
sons fellow Missourians give him
fair support, the Tigers may be ex-
pected to cut heavily into the point
total at the conference meet at
Evanston, June 8. Figures show that
Simpsons records are better in four
events than those of Big Nine ath-
letes entered and If he runs true to
form he should score fifteen points
along for his team, granting him first
place in the both hurdle events and
the broad jump. In the dual meet with
Kansas the other day, Simpson won
the l00-yard dash and the go in adj
dition to those three, but his time was
lois econds, which marks him as
slower in that event than several of
the conference sprinters and Bergman
of Notre Dame who in meets this
spring have done the century in 10
flat. Hoyt OF Grinnell, perhaps the
best 220-yard dash man in the coun-
try, is likely to beat Simpson in the
furlong which the Missourian won in
0:22 flat. .
On paper the meet will be close
one, with first places we'll distributed
and the final honors in points prob
ably will be settled by seconds, thirds
and fourths The numerical strength
of Illinois team gives the Orange and
Blue the best chance in that case,
but Wisconsin, and probably Mis-
souri,, may be expected to figure in
strongly.
Arlie Mucks, the best shot putter
in the country now and holder OF the
intercollegiate record in the discus
throw, is practically sure of garnering
points for Wisconsin in other outdoor
events--the hammer and javelin-so
that the Cardinal PROBABLY will give
Illinois closer battle than was the
case at the indoor meet last March.
The Illinois squad will suffer from
fiercer competition IN other events
and though Ames and Bush are likely
to crowd Simpson closely in the hur-
dies, the winning points they gath
cred in the indoor meet will be lack
ing in part.
