DEMOLISH STANDS "Something we're going to have to do is take out the Ferry FieldI football stands," he noted. The stands, which have been decaying for approximately 40 years sinceI varsity football moved to the Michigan Stadium, will cost $75,- 000 to demolish.

While he also has' no plans to provide bus service from the hill to the Events Build- ing for basketball games, he stated that "it is one of the things we are looking in to, especially in cold weather."

All 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 haven't seen the boys play yet asI several Canham decisions. While you may argue that the improve- ments have been too little and too late, Canham has at least 1 done something. The sports clubs have knocked' him becausehe allowed a section of Wines Field to be black top- ped for use by the marching band OVERCROWDED While Canham has no quick solution to improve the over- crowded conditions at the Intra- mural building, he has taken steps to improve the caliber of play.

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.

I 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? r . .- practice doesn't begin until Sep- tember 11, it wouldn't be fair to make any judgments or predic- tions. "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.
