ANN ARBOR, March 1.-THE
Western Conference swimming
championships tonight will be a
dual meet between Michigan and
Ohio State.
Michigan, seeking its fourth
straight victory, qualified u swim
mers and two relay teams in last
nights time trials. Ohio State,
which in 1888 gave Michigan its
last defeat in the conference meet,
also has two relay teams and 13
individuals for tonight's finals.
Michigan had best performance
in four events and the Buckeyes
in three. The Wolverines were best
in both relays and that may give
them the deciding points tonight.
John Patten. Michigan's top
notch free styler, finished behind
Jack Ryan of Ohio in his two
favorite events. Patten had fair
2:l51 in the 220-yard to 2:l48
for the Buckeye.
IN SLOW HEAT
In the 440 Patten was in a very
slow heat and as a result finished
with the fourth best time of SOP 3.
In dual competition he has been as
fast as 1852, full second and
more faster than Ryan's time last
night.
Northwestern produced a star
sprinter in Robert Amundsen, who
had the fastest time in both the
so and 100-yard free style events.
His time of SO seconds for the
100 has been bettered by Michi-
CANS Gus Sharemet earlier this
season but his time of 236 is tops
for the conference for the year.
Frank Dempsey of Ohio State
had a wide margin over the field
in the low diving. Strother Martin
of Michigan. who finished second,
holds two decisions over Dempsey
but both were from the high board.
Howard Jaynes Of Northwestern
is a threat.
GOOD SPRINT RACE DUE
Amundsen had a fraction of a
foot lead over Dobson Burton of
Michigan in one of the 50-yard
free style heats. John Lett OF
Ohio State was very, very close.
With Donald Wanstrom of Iowa
covering the distance in a fine "a
seconds this race should be one of
the high spots of the evening.
Richard Riedl of Michig IN
turned in a most satisfactory time
Of 1888 in the backStroke TO lead
Mark Follansbee OF Ohio State by
a fifth Of second.
James Skinner had a full sec
ond lead over the second man in
the breast stroke. The Wolverine
had much the best Of his heat and
if pressed might have produced
better time.
