,, THlE MYICHIGAN DAILY TUsD2 Thinclads Set for Canham Says 'M' Quartet May Attempt World Record at Michigan State Relays Four Between-Semester Mee ANN ARBOR SOPH: Wrestler Fitzgerald Makes Good Start for Matmen By JIM BENAGI 1 Before they enter their first class of second semester, Michigan's many sophomore trackmen will be seasoned veterans of indoor com- petition. That's because of Michigan's between-semester schedule that includes meets at Boston, Chicago, Ann Arbor and East Lansing. For, most Qf the sophomores, this will be the first competition as mem- bers of the Michigan team. The competition begins Satur- lF day when Coach Don Canhaml takes a contingent of sophomores Tom Robinson, Dick Cephas and Fred Montour, and seniors Joel Boyden and Capt. Mamon Gibson to Chicago for the Chicago-land Open. The meet is sponsored by the University of Chicago Track Club and will be held at the school's fleldhouse. Robinson in '60' Robinson will run in the 60-yd. dash, an event he has been run- ning in :06.2 in practice and meets. The Big Ten record for this dash is :06.1. The young speedster defeated Olympic star Ira Murchinson at Chicago during the holidays. Canham will enter Cephas in the 70-yd. low hurdles; Boyden in the shot put; Montour in the half mile; and Gibson, a native Chi- cagoan, in the pole vault. Two at Boston Meanwhile Saturday, two other Michigan athletes will compete in Boston's Knights of Columbus in- vitational, which annually attracts the best thinclads in the East. Eeles Landstrom will be among the favorites in the pole vault while freshman distanceman Ergas Leps will get some board-track experi- ence in the 1,000-yd. run. The rest of the squad will look forward to Jan. 31 when Ann Arbor against hosts the Michigan AAU and to Feb. 7 when the team travels to East Lansing for the Michigan State Relays. Canham expects almost com- plete attendance from his squad at the AAU field, including several freshmen who will compete un- attached. He expects almost 300 the coach added. "We Just have more guys this year." Canham also said he has poten- tial to shoot for Relays records in mile relay. two-mile relay, 75- yd. dash and pole vault if his competitors turn in good perform- ances. Past Michigan quartets hold both relay records. This year, how- ever, the veteran coach boasts a half-dozen good quartermilers and an equal number of sound half- milers. Robinson is his hopeful in the sprint, while Landstrom, the great- est vaulter in Michigan history, has vaulted better than the record many times in the past. HALF-MILERS--Wally Schafer, Bruce Fischer, Tony Seth, Frank Geist and Cam Gray grab for a share of the baton and a change to run on Michigan's two-mile relay team, which will run at the Michigan State Relays during the semester break. Coach Don Canham will pick three of the Earl Deardorff on the quartet. The Vacation in Sports Friday, January 16 HOCKEY ........NORTH DAKOTA .......... Home, 8 p.m. GYMNASTICS ...

There closely-matched five to team with SPORT SHORTS: Two Veteran Pitchers Cut Two veteran major league pitchers got their walking papers yesterday. The Chicago White Sox as- signed righthander Bob Keegan, who pitched a no-hitter against Washington in 1957, to Indianapo- lis. Now 37, Keegan had been with the White Sox since 1953. Chuck Stobbs, 29-yr.-old south- paw who spent several infamous losing seasons with the Washing- ton Senators, was put on the waiver list 'by the St. Louis Card- inals ,who plan to give him an un- conditional release. In other major league action the Cleveland Indians sold first base- man Joe Altobelli to Toronto of the International League for $20,000. SOUTH BEND -- Dick Stanfel, former Detroit Lion star and now a guard on the Washington Red- skins team, was named assistant line coach at Notre Dame yester- day by new head coach Joe Ku- harich who coached the Redskins during the past season. By DAVE LYON "Local boy makes good" may be a rather hackneyed expression, but it is valid in describing Dennis Fitzgerald, who at this point in the current season is the most successful member of Coach Cliff Keen's wrestling team. A sophomore, Fitzgerald in four dual meets and a tournament has lost only one match and drawn another while competing at 167 and 177 lbs. "He's made a good start," says Keen. "He's a good competitor, although of course he is still somewhat green." During the short time he has faced collegiate competition, "Fitz" has demonstrated a determined and aggressive style of wrestling. This, combined with endurance, has resulted in his mat success. Lost to Champs The only two opponents Fitz- gerald has notbeaten this season were good enough to be NCAA champions in 1957. After battling his way to the finals of the star- studded Wilkes College open tour- nament last month, he lost to for- mner Oklahoma State standout Doug Blubaugh. Blubaugh is the man who deprived Michigan's great Mike Rodriguez of the 157- lb. NCAA title two years ago. The other blemish on Fitz- gerald's record is a 6-6 draw in Michigan's one-sided dual-meet loss to Pitt earlier this month. His opponennt, Tom Alberts, won the NCAA 167-lb. title in 1957. So it has taken the best this season to beat Fitzgerald, who never wrestled while attending Ann Arbor St. Thomas High School because the schooldid not have a wrestling team until 1955, the year after Fitzgerald gradu- ated. Nine Letter Man Re did win nine letters in three sports there, however. Then he went into the Marines for two years and there la4nched his wrestling career,,competing in All- Marine and AAU tourneys. A reserve fullback on the foot- ball team last fall, "Fitz" says that wrestling "helps keep me in shape for football." It has other assets, too: "It's one of thermost highly-competitive sports. In other team sports youj can rely on the other fellows to alleviate your mistakes, but in wrestling you're on your own." In this way, he adds, "it keeps you physically and mentally sharp." If Fitzgerald's performance so far is any indication, he will figure prominently in Michigan's chances for dual and Big Ten meet success during the rest of this season.
