ILLINOIS is CHOICE
IN "BIG TEN" MEET
By the Associated Press.

by the Associated Press.
COLUMBUS. Ohio. June 5.-Keyed
to the record breaking point by an
unusual season, track athletes of the
Big Ten" and surrounding middle
western territory this morning We're
looking forward with anticipation to
the afternoons Western Conference
meet preliminaries.
With elimination heats scheduled in
all events except the mile and two
mile runs, today's events may result
In upsets which might mean the elimi-
nation of some teams as title con-
tenders and the elevation of others TO
that status. BY nightfall it may be
possible to forecast with considerable
accuracy the resting place of the 1925
honors.
In spite of its casualties from in
jury and ineligibility this week, Illi-
nois continued to be the favorite of
local track followers. Michigan, Wis
consin and Ohio State, in order nam
ed. 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 uncer-
tain than that of a year ago, when
Illinois amassed the impressive 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.
Today's events were scheduled TO
get under way at 2:15 pm, Eastern
standard time. Coaches of the teams
were to meet conference officials for
instructions on the meet at noon.
Drawings for heats. lanes and the
pole position were to be made at that
time.
The Ohio Stadium track, considered
one of the fastest in the country, was
in excellent shape for the meet. The
forecast was for continued fair and
warm weather.
