Wisconsin and Ohio State, In the order named are the others believed to have the greatest strength, with Iowa and perhaps Missouri as possible dark horses.
 Every one was agreed, however, that the present meet would be much closer and consequently more uncertain than that of year ago when Illinois amassed the impress sive total of "A points, nearly twice as much as Iowa, the runner-up. A repetition of the indoor meet when the first five teams put on a blanket finish was forecast in some quarters
