0TEMBEit , 106 THE MICHIGAN DAILY PA( k; ELLER ONLY BRIGHT SPOT: Graduation Losses, Dropouts WeakenWarmath's Gophers Canham Predicts Track Federation Succe (EDITOR'S NOTE: This is another in a series of articles analyzing the upcoming Big Ten football season. Today's article concerns Minnesota's outlook for the season). By BUD WILKINSON Minnesota's Murray Warmath, who has guided his team to 22 vic- tories and one tie in 29 games over the past three years, faces the greatest rebuilding task of his coaching career. His Golden Gophers have been hit by the graduation of 24 letter-" men, 10 of them 1962 starters. His hopes have also been dimmed by the desertion of promising sopho- mores. Comparing the new squad to last year's 6-2-1 team he says, "We're' slower, lighter, smaller and mostly sophomoric."'He says he has "11. or 12" lettermen returning but with 'the exception of tackles Carl Eller and Milt Sunde, "there isn't a topflight Big Ten player in the bunch." 5u -.Bell All-American Murray drools when he men- tions Eller. Last year his tackles were All-American Bobby Bell and Eller-"no college team ever had tackles that good." Bell is gone now, but because of Eller, Warmath still rates tackle his strongest position. "Eller is a lean, rugged 245 pounds, stronger physically than Bell. I can't find a weakness in his play. He's just the best football player in the country." Bell's replacement this year is Sunde, the team's captain, who was not heavy enough to challenge Bell or Eller last year. "He's up to 222 pounds now. Do you know that kid has grown 40 pounds heavier in three years? He came to us at 180." Many Changes During the first weeks of prac- tice Warmath shifted his charges from one string to another and from position to position in an at- tempt to evaluate their strength. It was a case of a candidate being first string yesterday, third string today, and ? tomorrow. At present, By CHARLIE TOWLE The United States Track and Field Federation spent a quiet summer making friends, solidify- ing gains and slowly but surely shoving the AAU out of the driv- er's seat in track and field. Or at least that's the feeling of Don Canham, Michigan's track esach and an outspoken leader of the federation movement, gives in summing up the federation's sum- mer activities. Bound by the MacArthur agree- ment to start no outright control fights with the AAU until Novem- ber, 1964, the USTFF has thrived on the interim of quiet until the 1964 Olympics are safely past. Gains Internationally Even in the only section of track and field of which the AAU can claim control now-international track relations-the federation, according to Canham, is benefit- ting. "We are hurting the AAU be- cause we don't have to pay their $10 to $25 membership fee any- more, and we don't have to pay the $1 to $2 fee to enter their meets," he says. Canham had spe- cific reference to the AAU meet in St. Louis last June, which quali- fied members for the American track team for the U.S.-USSR meet at Moscow. None of the members of the USTFF present had to belong to the AAU also. Locally the federation ran four state meets *ithout any AAU in- terference. Canham plans to have six to eight meets in Ann Arbor next summer since this summer's meets met with great success. Federation 'King' The USTFF controls local track so thoroughly in Michigan that Canham boasts, "I am the Michi- gan track coach, but I don't know I-M Football "B" SOCIAL FRATERNITY Alpha Sigma Phi 32, Sigma Nu 0 Phi Upsilon 12, Chi Phi 0 Phi Gamma Delta 28, Delta Sigma Phi Q P1 Lambda Phi def.

Eller's play last year was overshadowed by that of teammate and All-American tackle Bobby Bell, although they were consider- ed to be the best pair of college tackles in the nation. Eller, at 6'5/" and 241 pounds, is surprisingly agile, and it is thought that he will follow Bell to the top of the ladder in tackle play. DON CANHAM ... vows AAU doom most of the positionsare settled with sophomores holding down several first string berths. The first-string end spots are being held by sophomores Bob Bruggers and John Rajala. Brug- gers is also expected to do some of the punting for the Gophers. At guard, lettermen Willie Cos- tanza and Larry Hartse have an edge, "but Hartse is injury prone." Behind them are Charlie Killian and Bill Dallman. Lettermen Frank Marchlewski and Joe Pung hold down the center spot. This season's starting backfield will include sophomores Fred Farthing and high school All- American Dick Harren at halfback, Bob Sadek at quarterback, and Mike Reid at fullback. Sadek and Reid are seniors but have not won letters, so the backfield is very inexperienced. MSU Notes EAST LANSING (P)-A sopho- more quarterback, a lightweight backfield and a soccer kicker will. be among the experiments Mich- igan State will use in its football opener Saturday against North Carolina. Duffy Daugherty, starting his 10the season at MSU, explained his gambling this way: "We'll go into the season with fewer players of demonstrated Big Ten quality than any year since I've been head coach. We have to find a passer to keep the opposition honest so we can run our fast, light backs. "Our line is some 20 pounds lighter, man-to-man than last year. We will have to rely on speed and deception."

Defending champion Alpha Tau Omega took three first places, in- cluding a double victory in the hurdles by Dave Molhoek, but had to settle for third place with 18 points. Molhoek won the high hurdles in a fine time of 8.5 seconds and came back later to win the low sticks in :12.1. The ATO's receiv- ed another first from Barney Crouse who took the 100-yard dash with a :10.7 clocking. Hollis Jencks' win in the pole vault and Larry Morawa's victory in the broad jump helped Delta Upsilon to a second place finish with 21 points. Varsity basketball player Ed Petrick of Lambda Chi Alpha won the mile in 5:11.9 to take the ad- vantage in his personal 'battle with Phi Gamma Delta's John Pahl who finished second. Petrick took the event in last year's outdoor meet but Pahl gained revenge by win- ning the mile indoor title. In one of the closest races of the afternoon, Sigma Alpha Epsilon's Jack Henry nipped the Pi Gam's Mark Sandstrom for the 440-yard title. Henry's time was 56.3 sec- onds. Michigan). New York is less ac- tive but that is the last strong- hold of the AAU," he continued. Press, Publicity Okay Concerning public and press re- lations after the summer, Canham is also satisfied. "If you do your job, your public image isn't important. All college and high school athletes know they're getting more competition now than ever before. During the summer we ran more meets than the AAU." With 448,934 athletes participat- ing in USTFF meets last year, the USTFF is getting in good with the only ones that really count in STRAIGHT RAIL; 3 CUSHION; POCKET; SNOOKER AND TABLE TENNIS Billiard Room Michigan Union 10:30 A.M.-10:30 P.M.
