there is track strength aplenty but almost none in the field events to balance 1t. Keller is sure winner of the hurdle race that Seminar doesn't win. It may happen that the Ohio State sophomore will trim the Illini veteran in both events.
 I have found it necessary to make Wise, Bloor, Brown and Betham, the Buckeye mile relay squad, fa- vorites in the team race. Michigan should provide their chief competi- tion. The points that Strother, Bloor, Beetham and Brown pick up in the quarter and half, plus Rus sells points in the high jump, should boost the Buckeyes up around the 30 mark.
 Every track meet must have an outstanding performer, so I am nominating Captain Dale Let's, Chi cago star, for that honor. The Chi cago coach can make me look bad here if he elects to run Let's in only one race. But if he should send Let's to the post in both the 44O and the 880, the bets are on. Chicago may be weak again this season, but not in the quarter and | half,

Hartford, Conn. May 1s.-The Trinity baseball team, victorious in it's last six games. will take on two Massachusetts opponents this week. On Wednesday NJ. s. c. will be played at Amherst and on Saturday Amherst plays in Hartford.
 The Trinity squad will have two objectives in these games, first to lengthen it's winning streak, and second to complete conquest of the Little Three" Trinity's oldest ri- vals. Already victorious over Wes- leyan and Williams the Blue and Gold is bending every effort to add Amherst's scalp to it's collection.
 Either Boeger or Houlihan will pitch the M s c game. and Ray Ad- ams, ace of the pitching staff, will face Amherst. Adams held Wes- leyan to four hits and Williams to three hits.

Chicago, May 19-Becoming, in- deed, would be the feather in the cap of Charlie Hoyt, young Michi- gan track coach, could he maneuver his boys back into the Big Ten track and field championship which old Steve Farrell bequeathed the Vol verines at his departure a year ago. Yet it seems that the decoration is to find a place in the sky piece of either Harry Gill of Illinois or Tom Jones of Wisconsin.
 The four big relay carnivals- Kansas, Drake, Penn and Ohio State are the basis for this conclusion, however startling. A comparison of the results of these relay meets, plus few carefully weighed guesses tossed in here and there, leads to the belief that Illinois or Wisconsin must win the laurels.
 r. Let it be said here that North western university again will play host, staging the contests in Dyche Stadium May 22 and~23. That, how ever, just about takes care of North western in the meet, for practically all of the Purple athletic talent this year went in for touchdowns or basket-tossing.
 Michigan outpointed Illinois last year with the brawn of her field event men. As a matter of informa- tion, Michigan will have to glean a raft of points in the track events to have 8 show this season. Prac- tically all of her strength afield has departed.
 The Wolverines are apt to place in a majority of the track events, with most of the aid coming from Tolan and Russell in the dashes and Wolfe and Austin in the distance runs. Eggleston is conceded a chance to pick up points in the hurdles, while Glading, Campbell, Murray, Smythe, Eknovich and De- Baker should be good for points in the flat races up to the half. Michi- gan's scoring strength ends with the mention of Captain Pottle, pole vaulter, and Cox, hammer thrower. | Illinois chances of outscoring Wisconsin depend almost entirely on the performances of her hurdling ace, Lee Stentman. The Illoni flash must hand Ohio States Jack Keller double defeat in the sticks to keep the Gill band in the running. | Illinois has Purma in thes shot and discus, Bertelsman in the broad jump, Verne McDermont in the polevault and Hills in the hammer throw. This quartet appears good for 20 or more points, which, with Sentman's hurdles points and the scoring provided by Evans, Woolsey, Garrison and Gould in the distance runs, ought to boost the Illini total to more than 40.
 | Wisconsin bristles with ability in the weight events where Behr, kabat and Simmons are standout performers. This trio can send the Badgers we'll on the road to victory with about 20 points in the shot put, discus and hammer throw. r Captain Bill Henke, Wisconsin's indoor quarter mile champion. stands good chance of placing one-two-three in the 440. And two of Coach Jones' recent finds, Law renee Kirk, miller, and George Wright. two-miler. should place
 high. Kirk recently stepped four laps in 4:19.S and a duplication of that performance should shade those Illinois and Indiana distance
 stars. It ought to be mentioned that Shaw is a possible winner of the high jump and that Lovshin may place in the pole vault
 And now for Ohio State, where
