THE MICJH1IGAN DAILY 4 -f our Ten-Second Backs Give 'Fritz Criser Plenty Of Speed Football Squad Drils Offense I n~ Serimage Harmon Looks Impressive, By TOM PHABRES Coach Fritz Crisler is starting off is career as Michigan's football men- or with one advantage which may rove to be the difference between a tediocre and really good grid ma- hine-speed in the backfield. Whereas during the last several ears the Wolverine ball-carriers have ot been exceptionally fast men, Cris- r's first year class this spring in- ludes at least three promising backs 'ho are speed merchants in the rict sense of the term.. Strong Is Speedy Dave Strong, who may be used at uarterback or tailback, is usually in ae public eye because of his long, ccurate punts or fine passes. The ct that Dave can lug that pigskin ith the best of them is usually over- ohed. As a track man in high chool, Strong ran the 100nyard dash eing thrice clocked in 9.8 seconds. Paul Kromer, the pride of Kiski and orain, Ohio, put his speed to work his winter with the freshman track sam. Paul has .done the 100 yard ash in 9.9 and when he sets sail round right end it's a cinch that ootball cleats don't hold him back ery much. Kromer was an All-State halfback n Ohio and was another of Ray Fish- r's triple threat men last fall with he frosh gridders.

Add Norm Purucker to this, com- bination and we have four backs who won't take dust from the heels of any team in the nation. Norm has also been showing his wares with the Var- sity track team as a sprint man. Wally Hook is another fast man.
