Coach Ray Eliot and 19 Illinois players will leave the university's new arport at Champaign today at 1 p. m. and are scheduled to arrive In Columbus at 2:30 p. m„ in time to work out in Ohio State's stadium. It marks the first tlm* 1 in history that Illinois has tansported its athletes by plane, although the •'reserve'' players will travel to Columbus by train Big Ten coaches hav*- endorsed air travel because; (1) atheltes spend less time away from classes. (2) teams will be abb- to reach distant points well in advance of an important event, allowing time to become conditioned to change In climate and altitude, and (3) housing and f-edlng expenses are cut. making air tansportatlon cheaper than rail. Michigan is one of the western conference's leading airplane enthusiasts. having flown ’its football and track team* to the west coast for events In 1939. Ohio State is another school planning air transportation next season along with Minnesota.
