Filling the gaping hole left- by Rae's loss will be the number one problem confronting Coach Bennie Oosterbaan. The big pivot ace ranked as one of the Wolverines' all-time basketball greats, and hi peerless ball handling, sharpshoot- ing and defensive brilliance that was a mainstay of the Maize and Blue quintet for three years will bedsorely missed. Trio Of Centers Oosterbaan's choice for the center berth will likely be made from among Bob Fitzgerald, junior veteran, and a pair of towering sophomores, Jim Mandler and Bob Bartlow. As a newcomer last year six foot, five inch Fitzgerald stepped right into the starting lineup as a forward in the Wolverines' earlier games, and the experience thus acquired should stand him in good stead in the battle for the center spot. Up from the yearling ranks, Man- dler, a six foot, four inch hook-shot expert, and Bartlow, who stretches six feet, three inches, are expected to supply some of the height so con-t spicuously lacking from last year's sixth place Conference outfit, al- though they have yet to attain the polish and poise requisite for Big Ten standards of play. Two Veteran Forwards At the forward slots Oosterbaan will be able, if he desires, to throw I back into action the same pair that saw most of the service at the posi- tions last year, diminutive Mike So- fiak and George Ruehle. But theE mentor may choose to break up thisa combination in favor of obtaining more height at the guard berths. If so, Ruehle, a steady, reliable per- former, will probably be shifted to the back line to team with Capt. Herb Brogan. In this event the forward spot will CHICAGO. Ill. -An extension and intensification of the athletic and physical education programs in the ;chools and colleges of America, as a means of integrating their pro- grams with the national military pre- paredness program, has been urged by representatives of the National Collegiate Athletic Association and by athletic directors of the Western Conference.

The Committee urged the N.C.A.A. members to cooperate in organiza- tions striving to promote athletic sports throughout the nation, such as the American Legion and the Athletic Institute. Athletic Directors of the Western Conference have adopted a "Plan of Action in the Preparedness Program" stressing physical fitness "not only in terms of the physical, but in terms of the social and emotional develop- ment necessary for service to the nation." George Ceithaml, winner of the Chicago Alumni Trophy last spring, will be used is a replacement for Capt. Forest Evashevski at quarterback this fall. Spcedy and a very fine blocker, the Chicago boy has plenty of football savvy and should fit into the signal calling post with very little difficulty. The trophy which George was awarded last spring was in reward for his having been chosen as the player who had shown the most im.- provement over the year. Ceithaml stands 5 feet 11 inches and weighs 185 pounds. be wide open and the ensuing battle for the berth will probably develop into a dog-fight with lettermen Bill Cartmill and Joe Glasser, and last year's reserves, gridder Norm Call and Harold Westerman, accorded the best chance of moving into the start- ing lineup. hi the thick of the fight, however, and not to be prematurely excluded prom the running is a pair of prom- ising sophomores, Joe Lauchiskaus, if he is scholastically clean, and Leo Doyle, willowy six-footer. Possessing the sharpest shooting eye on the squad in addition to a masterful floor game, Capt. Brogan is a bulwark at one of the guard posts. Another letter winner, stocky Jim Grissen, will make a determined bid for the other berth with reserves Don Holman, scrappy junior, and Bill Herrmann pressing close behind. Making their initial attempts to win guard positions on the Wolver- ine quintet, two more sophomore grid performers, Wallace Keatiing and Bob Kresja, may also count heavily in Oosterbaan's plans for his third Michigan cage team.
