State Street The coaches have the requisite talent available to them for a highly competitive team. Spear- heading the returning veterans is Bob Fehrs, who won the Big Ten crown at 123 pounds last season. As a sophomore, Fehrs then went on to place second in the NCAA championships, losing 8-5 in his final match. Fehrs also captured the Midlands title early in the year. It is likely that Fehrs again will wrestle at 123 "if he makes the weight," says Keen. If not, the veteran Tino Lambros will com- pete with sophomore Bob Kruger for the slot. and Fehrs will be entered at 130. Also a contender at this weight is Dave Dozeman which finished third in the na- tionals in 1964. Dozeman sustain- ed injuries in an automobile ac- cident, missing a year of com- petition, but retained the year of eligibility. "Billy Jo" Captain Bill Johannesen.

Lansing The Void A void exists at 167, the spot vacated by last year's captain and Big Ten champ Rick Bay. "The top spot is wide open," Keen com- mented Thursday. Bill Waterman, whose injuries from an automobile accident kept him out of competi- tion last season, ranks as a prime candidate for the post. Another sophomore, Tom Saunders, has furnished most of the competition for Waterman so far. The graduation of Big Ten champ 'Chris Stowell leaves an opening in the 177 pound weight class also. Another sophomore, Wayne Wentz, rates a good chance to appear in action here. Two behemoths are in the run- ning for the heavyweight assign- ment. Mike Koehler captured sixth place in the nationals last year, though he wrestled behind the season will shape up, since most of the Big Ten schools will send contingents. In addition, Iowa State, the defending national champion, will be there. The tourney, which will be held in LaGrange, Illinois December 29- 30, has been won the last two years by Michigan. A lot stands between the Wol- verines and another Big Ten championship. "MSU has a ter- rific outfit; they're really loaded this year," revealed Keen, "and Iowa, Minnesota and Northwestern are all powerhouses. Ohio State has the best team they've had there in the last fifteen years." The regular season opens with a quadrangular meet in Ann Arbor January 8. in which Michigan faces Indiana in the afternoon and Iowa in the evening. Toledo is the other participant. The dual meet season begins January 15 when the Wolverines journey to Evanston.. The Big Ten championships and NCAA meet are in March, seem- ingly a long way off. But classes are in session daily, because by then it is hoped the grapplers will have that Keen edge which deter- mines a champion.
