The baseball and track teams journey to Bloomington, Ind., where they take on the Crimson, while the golf team is competing against Purdue at Lafayette. The tennis team will appear in the only home contest, the University of Iowa racket exponents providing the opposition. Coach Frank Hill's track boys ·are given more than an even chance to run away with high honors i.n the Hoosier engagement. Although Indiana has some capable performers in several events, they are not considered strong enough to topple the Purple. Northwestern's .weight men should have little trouble in annexing the majority of the points with Lewis, Karstens, Bagge, Dart and Nessler all prepared to do their stuff with the sixteen-pound shot, discus and hammer. · Gleichman and Bagge wilt toss the javelin. In the track events, the Purple also has an edge in nearly every race with the possible exception of the quarter. Hermansen looks like a sure bet in the 100, while Furrey, Reynolds, Sparling and Orchard will ta-ckle the other distance~ . PLANNING TO BUILD?'
