Gordon plans to enter 14 men in the nine track events and eight in the six field events. Distance runner Gus Ormrod, hurdler Og ier Norris, and sprinter Dean Ros si will share the bulk of the as signments in the track competi tion while weight men John Tul lar, Edwin Henrie, and Gene Han lon will do most of the work in the field events. Norris will also participate in three field events. Coach Gordon refused to make any predictions concernirig Sat urday’s meet. He did, however, stress the fact that these men do not represent his regular squad for the coming campaign. “These are the men who have showed the most potential in past workouts and time trials. Anyone may break into this line-up at any time if he proves himself in future practices,” Gordon said. Navy is expected to provide the frosh thinclads with stiff opposi tion. In Navy’s opener against Penn, the Plebes recorded these following marks: pole vault, 12.6; high jump, 5.10; javelin, 184-9; 120 high hurdles, 16.6; and shotput, 41-7.

Last year’s outdoor team averaged 1:33.0 per man for a 7:32.0 clocking. The Lions’ two mile squad was fourth in the Ohio Relays in 7:58.5 with Skip Slo cum, Moorhead, Don Matz, and A 1 Terrill handling the chores. Michigan’s mile relay squad won the mile relay in the Ohio Relays in 3:14.7 to break a Buck eye mark and tie the Southern California Stadium record. Navy and Penn State have been timed at 3:19 although Jack Morin missed this event at Navy for the Lions. j Michigan has depth in the 880- yard run with Gray (1:52.1), Jones (1:53.) and John Moule (1:53.3).

'Although John Haines took this race in the Penn-Navy meet, Bruce Austin was second behind the Penn ace who had :49.5. Dave Hessler and John Vallortigara who helped set a Michigan varsity record of 1:26.6 last year in the 880-yard relays—also are expected to help out in the Wolverine’s 440-yard team. Penn State’s 880-yard relay squad finished just four tenths of a second off the pace in the Ohio Relays when' Michigan State cracked a record when its quar tet sped to a new record of 1:26.4. Ron Wallingford (9.28) and Ge off Dolley (9:45) are Michigan’s leaders in the two-mile run.

Aft Pollard and Jack Morin will help the Lions in the sprints. Pollard registered a flat ten-sec ond marjc in the 100 and a :22.3 in the 220-yard sprints at Navy three weeks ago to win both events.
