THE MICHIGAN DAILY PAG
Track Team Runs atChicago
Tonight
By TOM WITECRI Y
With its second consecutive Big
Ten indoor title safely tucked
away, Michigan's track team will
do what Coach Don Canham
called some "running for fun"
this weekend.,
Eight men from the Wolverine
squad that won the Conference
crown just a week ago will com-
pete in the Chicago Daily News
Relays tonight. From there they
will fly to Milwaukee and compete
in the Milwaukee Journal Games
tomorrow night. Here they will be
joined by three more Wolverines
who will fly up tomorrow morning.
Featuring the Chicago 'board'
meet will be a rematch of three
of the country's finest mile relay,
teams - Illinois, Michigan, and
Michigan State. These quartets
finished one, two, three in last
weekend's Big Ten meet.
Illini Set Record
The Illini's winning time of,
3:16.3 set a new Big Ten indoor
record. Michigan was just a tenth
of a second behind, while the
Spartans finished with a 3:18.4.
MacDonald,
Captain;
White MIT
Dale MacDonald was elected
captain for next year and Bob
White voted this season's most
valuable player, Hockey Coach Al
Renfrew announced yesterday.
MacDonald, a 21-year-old jun-
ior from Saskatchewan, will suc-
ceed All-American Bobbie Watt
as leader of the icers.
The captain-elect, who led the
Wolverines in goals scored a year
ago with 19, slipped in point pro-
duction this season, but was one
of the squad's hard-skating main-
stays. He played both forward po-
sitions.
Playing on a line with Bob
White and Steve Bochen, Mac-
Donald fired two crucial goals in
the final series with North Da-
kota.
White, who will be awarded the
Hal Downes Memorial Trophy for
his efforts this season, led the
team in scoring as center of Ren-
frew's starting line.
"He's one of the finest boys I've
ever coached," said the Michigan
mentor. "His spirit and desire did
a lot toward carrying us as far
as we went this year."
White, one of the most popu-
lar skaters to perform in the Coli-
seum, became a crowd favorite
for his aggressive skating style
and spectacular rushes. He is one
of four regulars departing via'
graduation.
Anchoring their respective teams
will be three of the finest collegi-
ate runners in the country: George
Kerr of Illinois, Tony Seth of
Michigan, and Willie Atterberry of
Michigan State.
If Michigan hopes to revenge
last week's defeat, it will have to
give Seth a 10-yard lead when he
takes the baton for the final quar-
ter mile. Last week he had about
a six-yard lead and was barely
nipped at the wire by Kerr, who
ran a "fanstastic" 46.5 to catch
him.
Other members of the Michigan
mile quartet will be Bryan Gibson,
Dick Cephas and Ergas Leps in
that order.
Same Winning Team
In the two-mile relay Michigan
will enter the same foursome that
won the Los Angeles Times event
earlier this winter. Making up the
team will be, in order, Dave Mar-
tin, captain Earl Deardorff, Leps
and Seth.
Competing in the individual
events will be two Michigan Big
Ten champions: sprinter Tom
Robinson in the 60 and sophomore
Bennie McRae in the hurdle
events.
Joining the team at Milwaukee
will be high jumper Steve Wil-
liams, sprinter John Gregg, and
Fred Montour, who will take Mar-
tin's place on the two-mile relay
team. Martin will be running In
the College Mile event.

Fitzgerald Succeeds Hoyles
As 'M' Wrestling Captain
By DAVE LYON
Associate sports Editor
Dennis Fitzgerald, 'TlEd., was
chosen captain of Michigan's 1960-
61 wrestling squad yesterday by
teammates.
He succeeds Mike Hoyles, '60E,
who captained the team that last
weekend brought Michigan its first
Conference wrestling champion-
ship in four years.
Selection as captain climaxes an
eminently successful season for
Fitzgerald, a native of Ann Arbor
who never wrestled in high school.
Shook Off Injury
He shook off a pre-season injury
to post a 9-0-0 record, all at 167
pounds, in dual meets. Then he
swept past three more opponents'
in the Big Ten meet to join four
other Wolverines as winners of
individual titles.
Fitzgerald's athletic successes
this year have not been confined
to wrestling. Last fall he starred
as a second-line fullback on Coach
Bump Elliott's football team, and
on the gridiron displayed the same
qualities of spirited, aggressive
play that he showed on the mat.
I
YOUR
ATTENTION
PLEASE
Because of Fitzgerald's relent-
less determination, wrestling
alumni viewing the Big Ten meet'
here last weekend compared. him
to Mike Rodriguez, a three-time
winner (1954-55-57) of Confer-
ence 157-pound titles for the Wol-
verines.
Fitz' Romps
In last Saturday's 167-pound
championship bout, Fitzgerald
roared to a 12-3 victory over
Iowa's Joe Mullins and all but
pinned his man. He shut out his
two other opponents in the meet.
During the dual-meet season he
scored 70 points and allowed only
14.
Last year Fitzgerald, who got
his only previous mat experience
in all-Marine and AAU meets, also
went undefeated (4-0-2) in dual
meets. His only loss came in the
Conference 167-pound title bout.
"I'd like to win a national
title," he said yesterday. He'll get
his chance in the NCAA meet at
College Park, Md. March 24-26
against such respected opposition
as Oklahoma's Sid Terry and
Penn State's Ron Pifer.
Make Good Captain
Regardless of his success in
the NCAA, "he'll make a good
captain," Coach Cliff Keen said.
As the 36th captain wrestling
under Keen, Fitzgerald will step
into a role steeped in tradition.
Last week Hoyles did his part in
upholding it.
In the Michigan State dual
meet Feb. 27, Hoyles received a
painful rib injury while grappling
with State's George Hobbs.
But Hoyles, with Keen's con-
sent, participated in the Big Teni
meet and finished a respectable
third. His only loss in the tourna-
ment came from Ohio State's Dave
Camaione, winner of the "out-
standing wrestler" award.

By TOM WITECKI
Bursting off the starting blocks
at tonight's Chicago Relays will be
Wolverine Bryan Gibson, who has
held the leadoff slot on Coach Don'
Canham's mile relay quartet for
the past two years.
Before coming to Michigan, Gib-
son, who hails from Whitby, On-
tario, had never run a quarter mile.
In high school, he competed in
the sprints, hop, step and jump,
broad jump and even the shot put.
A versatile athlete, he also won
letters in football, basketball,
hockey and lacrosse.
Fast Sprinter
However, it was his clockings in
the sprint events-a :10.1 in the
100 and a :22.8 in the 220-that
caught Coach Canham's eye and
eventually brought him a Michi-
gan athletic tender.
Once at Michigan, however,
Gibson ran into such fine sprint-
ers as Tom Robinson, John Gregg
and Dick Cephas, who were also
members of the freshmen track
team. Thus, he moved to a little
longer event-the 440.
By switching to the quarter
mile, Gibson also became a prime
candidate for the Wolverine mile
relay team. Canham tried Gibson
in the leadoff spot early last winter
and was so satisfied with the re-
sults that he has kept him there
ever since.
Gets Fast Start
Canham said, "As a former
sprinter, Bryan always gets off to
a fast start. He gets out front and
stays there, that's why I've kept
him in the number one slot."
And the results have been sat-
isfying. ,pibson, off with a fast
start, almost always has a lead at
the end of the first quarter mile.
Last winter he led off the mile

relay team made up of Don Chal-
fant, Marsh Dickerson, Tony Seth
and himself that holds the Michi-
gan varsity indoor record, with a
time of 3:16.1.
Gibson too seems happy with
the leadoff position. "An early
burst of speed will usually give
me the lead and that's where I
like to run," he said.
Good Quarter Miles
In addition to his standard posi-
tion as the relay leadoff man, Gib-
son has turned in some fine in-
dividual quarter miles. Last week,
he ran the finest indoor quarter
of his life, a :49.3, to finish third
in the Big Ten indoor meet.
Last year, he also finished third
in the Conference indoor meet
with a :50.3 clocking. The Cana-
dian quarter-miler then put In a
fine outdoor season that included
a fine :48.5 clocking. Unfortun-
ately, he pulled a leg muscle while
running in a dual meet and was
