Abstract: Gromov's Conjecture states that for a closed $n$-manifold $M$ with positive scalar curvature the macroscopic dimension of its universal covering $ildeM$ satisfies the inequality $di{m}_{mc}ildeMlen-2$cite{G2}. We prove this inequality for totally non-spin $n$-manifolds whose fundamental group is a virtual duality group with $vcden$. In the case of virtually abelian groups we reduce Gromov's Conjecture for totally non-spin manifolds to the vanishing problem whether $H_n(T^n{)}^{+}=0$ for the $n$-torus $T^n$ where $H_n(T^n{)}^{+}subset{H}_n(T^n)$ is the subgroup of homology classes which can be realized by manifolds with positive scalar curvature.
