By GENE GRIBBROEK k
"It's nice to see the boys graduate,
but I'd rather see one or two of 'em
come back." Cliff Keen didn't say
this, but he'd probably agree. The
Wolverine wrestling coach brought a
top-heavy squad to within a point
of winning the Conference mat title
last spring, and this year, with three
members of that strong half of the
squad out of the picture, his job will
be no easier.
Those three men, all Conference
champions, won't be easy to forget.
Capt ain Forrest "Butch" Jordan,
heavyweight, was the best of the big
boys to grapple here since Ed "Don"
George. Don Nichols, second of the
great Nichols brothers to work under
Keen, showed his value to any squad
by adding the national 175-pound
title to his brother's 145-pound crown
the year before. Last of the trio was
the sensational Harland Danner, one
of the most colorful collegiate mat-
men in the nation. Danner spent part
of his time chasing Indians in Mex-
ico, but found time to win two Big
Ten titles, last year at 155 pounds,
and run up a three-year record
marred by only one dual meet loss.
Strong Nucleus Back
This season's squad will have a
strong nucleus around which to
build, however, with last year's head-
ache-the lower weights-still in the
way. Biggest point getters for the
matmen, unless they each lose a leg,
will be Captain Bill Combs, slated
for the spot left vacant by Danner,
and junior Jim Galles, who will move
up a weight to take over Nichols'
job.
The speedy Combs was ineligible
during the first semester last' year,
but returned in February, worked off
enough weight to sneak under the
145-pound limit, and won four dual
meet matches with no defeats to
lead the squad. An injury cost him
the decision in the finals in the
Conference meet, but when he's right
he's the class of the Conference. }

the new West Quadrangle dormitor-
ies, living quarters for freshment,
were opened. These men, strangers
to the campus, had to be provided
for in a hurry. The great success of
the Residence Hall leagues speaks
well for the efficiency of the de-
partment.
Team competition was provided
for the first-year dormitory students
in a variety of sports, and the new
division, separate from the frater-
nity, faculty ,and independent loops.
immediately became a major part
of the program. Leagues were con-
ducted in baseball, "A" and "B" bas-
ketball, bowling, touch football, foul
throwing, golf, handball, horseshoes,
relays, swimming, table tennis, ten-
nis, track, volleyball, and wrestling.
The season closed with a banquet
at which team and individual cham-
pions were given recognition. The
same program is being prepared for
the coming year, with two divisions,
one to include the new East Quad-
rangle dormitories,'to be sent into
action as soon as school starts.
While getting the new loop un-
derway the staff succeeded in main-
taining the smooth operation of those
activities which have been a part of
of the schedule from its beginning.
Fraternity teams fought for cham-
pionships in most of the above sports

The biggest news in baseball this
year has been the revolt of Cleve-
land's Wailing Warriors against the
tyranny of Old Os Vitt, the luckless
mentor of the Tearful Tribe. About

situation is that Oscar was asking
for it when he accepted the job.
children instead of grown boys.
Laugh Of The Year came when
Jeff Heath, one-time heavy hitting
outfielder of the Indians, protested
against Vitt's effrontery in sending
him up to the plate to pinch-hit.
"He's just trying to humiliate me,"
muttered Jeff, "he knows I always
strike out in the pinch," Too bad!
It isn't hard either to pick out the
current season's most noble sacrifice.
This touching scene took place in
Washington when the Indians, in
secret session resolved to forego the
pleasure of baiting Mr. Vitt and con-'
centrate all their efforts on winning
the pennant. "Of course, we won't
vote Vitt a cent of the series dough,"
one of them said.
Unfortunately for the Indians, a
Major League rule prevents them
from depriving their manager of a
full share of the swag.
Take the unexpected showing of
the Tigers' and White Sox, the In-
dians' uprising, the collapse and re-
birth of the Yankees and, all in all,
it adds up to the most excitement
that the junior loop has seen in many
a year:

"Now just a minu.e, son," piped
in Joe, "I don't aim at looking back

"That's exactly it," came the ans-
wer. "First a bad year, then a good
one. It happens every time. Why,

And with that they bounced out
of the show . . . obviously bound

Joe just shrugged his shoulders
and kept on cutting. It sounded log-
ical enough to him.

Two gridders will fight it out for

reserve heavy last year, doesn't carry
as much weight as most of his oppo-
nents will have, but is a strong threat
for a regular job. His competition
will come from sophomore Rudy Sen-

little training to his terrific strength,
he promises to go places.
