However, the n's second-string quartet e Panitch, Dean Look, Art n and Bob Berich are all back for another year - and all ara expected to assume starting roles with the loss of Martin. Wisconsin Challenges With MSU hampered by Mar- tin's loss, Wisconsin's talented juniors may make the strongest bowl bid. The Badgers- scored three straight wins at the end of 1957 to produce a 6-3 slate for the season. The Badgers, who were the league's doormat only a couple of years ago, compiled this rec-. ord with a predominately-sopho- more squad. Wisconsin is one of two Big Ten teams who will not meet Michigan this year. The other is Purdue.. Iowa Sophomores Iowa, the third major contend- er to dethrone the Buckeyes, will rely on Randy Duncan's passing and another good crop of sophs. In his group of first-year men, Coach Forest Evashevski has nine youngsters who played their high school football in Michigan. The Hawkeye's biggest problem is at tackle, where, last year they had the best in the nation. Alex Karras, an All America, and sec- and stringer Frank Rigney used up their eligibility and move into the pro scene. A major loss, however, was Dick Klein, who passed Up his senior year to try out with the pros. Mac Lewis, 289-lb. regular center, has been switched to fill in the gap. Other Questionables Behind the above four teams and Michigan, the rank and file is questionable. Minnesota was rated to be one of the best in the country last fall but took a com- plete tailspin and finished with a 4-5 record. They'll build their attack arournd quarterback Phil Reese, a third team member'last year who looked better than regular Bob- by Cox many times. Billy Martin, a star halfback, was ineligible in the spring semester and his sta- tus is doubtful. Purdue is expected to have its usual good passing attack, but the "upset king"-who gave MSU its only 1957 defeat - probably won't improve much on its .500 record. Spring training injuries and graduation - losses leave another perennial upsetter, Illinois, in the questionable stage. The Illini lost their best backs, Bobby Mitchell and Ray Nitschke, through grad- uation and Torn Haller on a pro baseball bonus. Cellar Dwellers Cast again for the cellar are Indiana and Northwestern, de- spite the return of many regulars. The Hoosiers have Coach Phil Dickens back in good standing after being penalized for break- ing recruiting rules, but the talent troubles continue at Bloomington. McKeiver Gone Northwestern will miss its great halfback Bob McKeiver and out- standing lineman Al Viola - but otherwise returns Its team intact. DARK HORSE : Herrntstein (Continued from Page 11) Other candidates at tackle are Bob Swanson, Willard Hilde- brand, and Bill Stine. There are also three returning lettermen at guard. Jerry Marcin- lak, Alex Callahan and Mike Fil- lichio, should provide a nucleus of strength to block up the middle of the line. One of the most promising of' all sophomores is guard Dick Syring. The' 200-lb. rookie from Bay City won the Morton Trophy after spring training, signifying the most improved player in the at H workouts. It is very possible Syring will open the seaso center. Tom Jobson is an promising candidate. Center is perhaps the bi question mark of the entire s' Only Jim Dickey is a reti from last year. Another sprin periment moved ex-fullback Byers. to the anchor pos Byers' excellent line-ba qualities would be'employe good use at center.
