Seventeen experienced men are
expected to answer the call of Coach
Hoyt this week for varsity indoor
track candidates. The practice sea-
son was opened officially yesterday
work, but this number has been re-
duced to approximately fifty. An-
other cut will be made following
the All-Campus meet which will
eliminate all but about 35 or 40.
- State Comes First. .
The first competition that will be
provided for the grapplers will b

for December 15-17.
Anyone except those who have
won Varsity wrestling letters wil

will be awarded in all weight divi
sions. Ovei- 100 entries are expect
ed.
Carl Dougovito, champion of the
Big Ten for the last two years an
runner-up in the National meet
during the same period, has been
selected to captain the Wolverines
during the coming campaign. H

Wilson Back Again.
Stoddard will probably carry the
heavyweight burden, while Reif, a
165 pounder last year who gaine
second ,place in the Conference
meet, in the heavyweight division
will wrestle in one of the thre
heaviest classes. Wilson, who fin
ished second in the 165 pound divi
sion in the Big Ten meet-last year
is also back in the fold.
Otto and Bennett, from last year'
squad, and Thomas, a star in 1928
will fight it out for the 135 poun

considerable promise. Damm is to
be an addition to the weight squad
this year.
As to the apportionment of his
material in the various events and
the resultant strength and weak-
nesses, the mentor does not as yet
have a sufficiently accurate esti-
mate of his candidates for anything
more than speculation. It is expect-
ed, however, that the Wolverines
will lack broad-jumpers and pole-
