Six of this number are Sophomores. Captain-elect Herb Steger, "Red" Miller, Vick, Rockwell, Grube, and Herrnstein are the back field men who will battle for positions on the 1924 eleven. All of these men have had considerable experience this past season and a star set of backs should be molded from them. Steger is the only one with two years of Varsity competitl6ir but the others, especially Miller, Vick and Rockwell, have been used a great deal all season. Backfield Promising . With Miller at fullback, Steger and Vick at the halves, and Rockwell at quarter, lichigan will have a versa- tile backfield. Rockwell is an ex- ceptional punter and a speedy run--I ner, Vick is an accurate passer and 'a fast man for the end-running game. Miller can back up a line and is also a consistent plunger while Steger can 'run, hit tne line, pass and kick. Herrnstein is a good halfbatok but light, while Grube can fit in at any one of the backfield positions. Bob Brown, who broke into the limelight after Blott's injury ,t Mad- ison, is a capable center who should develop considerably in his next two years of competition. Slaughter and Steele will play their third year as guards and should make the center 01 the line impr'egnabte. Havkins, who played regularly after Steele's injury,. is only a sophomore and has shown signs of becoming a star linesman. Whife will also be back for a line po- sition, Tackles Remain Babcock and Kunow are the tackles who will return next year. Both play- ing their first year this season, these lads gave much promise for the fu- ture. Babcock became Varsity tackle after VanDervoort's injury kept himl on the side lines, starting the Wiscon-t sin and Minnesota contests. He play-t ed a fine defensive game in both bat-, tles, and also proved to be a regular 'ball hound." He recovered two tumt tles and a blocked kick in the finalc gane with the Gophers and also re-1 covered a fumble in the Wisconsinl gam'e. Kunow was &ut most of thec season with a bad arm, but did well in the games he played during the lat- er part of the season.f "lutch" Marion is the only Varsity end who will playnet year. The oth- er end will be taken care 'of by eithert Palrier, Witherspoon or ape of the f Freshmen. Palmer, Witherspoon and it Ferenz are ends who received their 3LMa's. Backs who received their t .Ma's are Baker, Heston and j ...

Reincke and Bowen, the' other two Michigan runners to finish, crossed the tape in 28th and 34th places respectively. Bowen, Reinke and Rearick were slowed up con- siderably by side pains. The general showing th'e team was somewhat hampered by the condition of the course over which the athletes were forced to run. Te course was slippery, cloggy and rocky. This prob- ably accounts for Davis injuring his ankle. 4-! BIHO, 26 WN "LL- CAMPUS HiRE ME Michigan,. Robertson of Carnegie Tech, Smythe of the Army, Stuhldreher of Notre Dame, Covington of Center, Ter- rill of Rutgers, Batista of Washington, Dooley of Dartmouth, Redinger of Col- gate and Workman of Ohio State. There probably are three or four others who might well be placed in the ranks ot the stars. Oddly enough the "Big Three," Yale. Princeton and Harvard, haven't quart- ers who can be ranked at the top. Yale has in Neidlinger, Richeson and Mur- phy three good field generals and 'good backfield men. But none of the three can be classed with the star quarters of previous years. Uteritz, diminutive Ann Arbor lad, probably should lead the pack, if pre-' ference is wanted. He is a wizard in every division of the game. Stuhld- reher of Notre Dame should be placed second. Perhaps the two will be rank- ed on equal footing by many critics. Pfann, without a doubt, comes third, with Smythe disputing that position. But any one of the men mentioned would work well on an All-American eleven. London, Nov. 26.-(By A.P.)-Poli- tical writers are predicting a record number of candidates at the election, Dec. 6. Estimates vary, the highest being 1,450. or 30 more than at the -last election, when the total was alto- gether unusual. I WRES LIN7G HOURS CHANGEDJ Wrestling practice will be held every afternoon at 3 o'clock, in-.j f stead of at night, as has been the case for the past six weeks. Men of all weights are urged to come! out. Opportunity is also 4tven to Freshmen to work out at this time until the Christmas holidays. Coach BarkerI YEARLING SQUAD ONE OF BEST-ATIER HAS COACHED As a reward for their efforts on the footba field this season, numeral sweaters have been awarded to 87 men on- the Reserve and Freshman foot- ball squads. The men so honored have shown ability in the fall sport, have been regular in their attendance for daily ,practice, and have proved to the coaches that they have been earnest in their efforts to win places on the respective teams. It is only when a man measures up to all of these stan- dards that he is allowed the right to wear his class numerals. To those who were not so fortunate as to win this honor it can be said that not to receive the coveted emblem is far from being an indication of failure. Many men who have not won numer- als have gone out and by consistent efforts have become Varsity men. Coaches Satisfied In commenting on their respective squads both Coach Fisher of the Re- serves and Coach Mather, the Fresh- man mentor, expressed their satisfac- tion in their outfits. This year Fisher .had an average of more than 30 men out for daily practice and the team that was finally picked to represent the Reserves on the gridiron this year was one of the best that Fisher has ever coached during the time that he has been in charge of the Reserve squads. On Mather's crew this year was a galaxy of stars such as has seldom been seen on a Freshman team. The backfield was composed of some of the best prep men in the state and the line, the heaviest tat has ever played for Mather's teams, was a fit for- ward wall for the ground gainers. Numerals Awarded Following are this year's numeral men: Reserves: Atland, Beecher, Betts, Butler, Benson, Blahnik, Campbell, Cedargreen, Cory, Daley, Day, Dust Edwards, Foster, Galarnesult, Goebel, Goldstein, Groshke, Gregoric, Grubb, Heath, Heym, Hinckley, Isbey, Kinley, Koenig, Kruger, Lillie, McMillan, Meier, Mote, Mugaveran, Reichle.

Wollin, Bean, and McCul- lough were the next to finish, crossing' the line in the order named. Last minute announcements of in- tentions to participate in the annual meet were to no avail to many of the men who would have run, becouse they had failed to train for four weeks under the direction of Coacli Sullivan, Intramural trainer. No accidents occurred during the course of the event and the fine phy- sical condition which the men 'ex- hitied as they crossed the last mark- er proved conclusively that the rule of having the men train for the races this fall was a success and will hold good next year. 11 o * J ) II 4,.t k 'I l 1 1 V 1110.1 "Y" pool is now in use for the nity swimming meet entrants and ce can be held any afternoon g the week.
