Elliott. R o s e m a. Seymour.

are familiar names to Michigan
football fans.
And all are returning to Mich-j
igan football in the form of fresh-f
min offspring.t
Included in the 30 tenders ex-
tended to freshman this year are
eight names connected with col-
lege football.
A feature to the team is Coach
Bump's nephew, Bruce Elliott-
the valedictorian son of former
Illinois grid coach Pete Elliott. A
6'1", 160-pound quarterback, the
younger Elliott captained two All-
State teams.
Coach Hank Fonde also has a
possible claim to fame in son
Chuck, who starred in an end'
position at Ann Arbor High.
A third familiar name added'
to the squad is Rosema-who re-
turns in the form of \6'4", 200-
pound end Bob Rosema-brother
of Rocky.
Mike Hilkene is another to'
bring back memories to Michigan
fans who recall his dad Bruce
Hilkene. The elder Hilkene was a
star tackle and captain during the
Elliott brother days.
A series of kin of former non-
Michigan grid-iron greats will also
appear on the freshman roster
this year.
Jim Brandslatter, a 6'3", 250-
pound tackle, has a tough family
record to match. Both his father
and brother won All-America
honors at Michigan State.
Another promising thug-sized
tackle, 6'7", 270-pound Leon Hart,
is the son of All-American full-
back Leon Hart. Sr.,.who starred
at Notre Dame.
Two of the Seymour brothers
wore Notre Dame uniforms, but
the third, 6'5", 215-pound Paul,
will be wearing a Wolverine jer-
sey. His cousin is Michigan end
Phil Seymour.
Two notables with names which
will become familiar within the
year are Dave Zuccarreli and Lee
Borel.
The number one back in Chi-
cago, Zuccarelli is a product of
Mt. Carmel where Michigan's new
offensive line mentor Frank Ma-
loney last coached.
At 6'5", 290-pounds, Borel's size
affords almost double replace-
ment for such tackles as former
NCAA heavyweight champ Dave
Porter.
Freshman coach Bill Dodd de-
scribed the recruiting program as
"not keyed to any single area of
concentration. -
"Last year we worked on bring-
ing out depth in the line. But
this year we worked in general
terms-feeling the team should be
well-rounded and able to offer
replacements in all areas."
Dodd added that because "we

you may argue that the improve-

too late, Canham has at least

OVERCROWDED
While Canham has no quick
solution to improve the over-

steps to improve the caliber of
play.

in '68 Summer Olympics
By TERRY VANDER LAAN
Fifteen Wolverine athletes re-
presenting countries from all over
the New World found strenuous
excitement this summer in pre-
paring for Mexico City's 1968
Olympics.
Competing in sports as varied as
their own backgrounds, all have
one thing in common: they are
'or were Michigan students.
Former Wolverine John Claw-
son is already secure in his berth'
on the U.S. basketball team.
Hoping to improve on his ,1964
silver medal in the 1200-mete but-
terfly, graduate Carl Robie may
be swimming for the United
'States. Junior Juan Bello who
surpassed Robie's 200-yard in-
dividual medley record, will try
to capture a slot on Peru's Olym-
pic swimming team.
Toronto's Olympic trials will
feature Wolverine gymnasts Sid
Jensen and Fred Rodney, chal-
* lenging 1963 Michigan and NCAA
all-around champion Gil Larose.
Jensen has placed second and
first in two previous trials.
Diving trials in Long Beach,
Calif., have attracted former
door champion Micki King. Lani
Loken, da.ughter of Michigan
gymnastics coach New Loken, is
also entered. Junior J y Meaden
and sophomore Dick Rydze are
also in competition for the Mexico
City trip.
Ron Kutschinski, a Michigan
senior, poses a strong threat in
track and field competition, being
rated as having a good change to
make the team.
In a recent time trial at the
Lake Tahoe, Nev., training camp,
Kutschinski finished third behind
Tom Farrell of the U.S. Army,
and Ron Whitney of the Los An-
geles Striders. Farrell's 600-
meters in 1:16.5 set a neW world
record. Kutschinski's 1:17.2 shav-
ed :00.2 off the old mark.

All these ambitious plans take
money and no one knows that
more than the new athletic di-
rector.
While football sales have de-
creased across the conference,
Canham has waged a massive
advertising war to push Michigan
football sales above those of last
year.
Canham knows, however, that
catchy advertising alone will not
fill the stadium. Only winning
teams can and he is trying to do
something about that.
RECRUITINGr
The big thing to football suc-
cess is recruiting and Canham is
trying to organize over 3,000 var-
sity "M" club alumni across the
'country to help in the talent
search. I
Over the summer, the new di-
rector even ran a clinic, the first
in Michigan's history, for 75 re-
cruiters who have scouted for the
Wolverines for many years.
Another clinic will be held after
the football season to plan 'how
to recruit for next fall.
t Canham continues to run and
think of new ideas.
That must be one of the rea-
sons he is nearly always dressed
casually. How often do you see a
man run in a black business suit?

"So far we have 60 boys, but
are encouraging anyone interest-
ed to contact us before the first
day of practice."
The 1968 frosh schedule includes
two inter-collegiate games. Bowl-
ing Green will host the mini-
Wolverines on November 1, with
the second game at home on No-
vember 15 against Toledo Univer-
sity.
