These men, strangers to the campus, had to be provided for in a hurry., The great success of .the Residence Hall league speaks well for the efficiency of the department., Team competition was providied for the first-year dormitory students in a variety of sports and the new divi- sion, separate from the fraternity, faculty and independent loops, im- mediately became a major part of the program. Leagues were conduct- ed in baseball, bowling, touch foot- ball, foul throwing, golf, handball, horseshoes, relays, swimming, table tennis, tennis, track, volleyball and wrestling. The season closed with a banquet at which team and individu- al champions were given recognition. Thb same program was prepared for, last year and included the newly erected East Quadrangle. I-M Activities While getting the new loops un- derway, the staff succeeded in main- taining the smooth operation of those activities which have been a part of the schedule from its begin- ning. Fraternity teams continued to fight for championships in most of the above sports in addition to speed- ball-a game invented here at Mich- igan-ice hockey and squash. Inde- pendent men- and faculty members also carried on with a full program of team sports, as well as having an opportunity to compete for all-cam- pus titles ,in archery, badminton, codeball, fencing, rifle shooting, and skating. To participate in any of the tour- -naments or team events, any man is eligible except, in general, varsity letter winners in a sport. Varsity squad members may not compete in any sport going on during the season of their service with the varsity, and freshmen squad members may ,not participate in their own sport. Other restrictions are applied concerning listing with a team and formal recog- nition of fraternity status. Health cards 'from the Health Service are required before partici- pation in any of the strenuous sports|3 is permitted. personnel and chances of success. Which follows herewith: That man is gone, yes, but don't quit school because of it. Recall, if you will, that least year's team had not one but a brace of climax run- ners, and that one of them still re- mains. The gentleman under reference is Capt. Bob Westfall, who rocketed through the line for 196 more yards in eight games last fall than Texas A&M's fabulous Kimbrough made in nine. Now there has been some idle chatter around 'and about that Westie's success was, in no small way, dependent upon the constant threat cf Harmon's end sweeps and off- tackle thrusts. Well, we'll see. But it was always hard to believe that two or three guys hanging around the Bullet's neck couldn't bring him down because they were worrying about what Tommy was doing. Speedy Backs Around Westfall will be formed a' backfield whose speed should har- ass opponent's flanks unmercifully. At tailback, Crisler has yet to choose his' number one man from among :iplc-threat Don Robinson, hard- unning'Tom Kuzma, or one of the peedy duo of DaveyaNelson and corm Call. The wingback post has hree candidates in the persons of ophomeres Paul White and Chuck Cennedy and the veteran Tippy -ockard. The man who will direct the Mich- gan offense at the enemy's weakest 'ector is George Ceithaml, a junior; his year and already proven under fire. Almost a match for his prede- ,essor, Forest Evashevski, in blocking mnd field-generalship, George leavesE Sittle to be desired. His replacement, Elmer Madar, a reformed halfback, :eems capable of filling in for George Nhenever the big boy needs a rest. 'To return to fullback for a moment. Whenever possible of course, Coach Crisler wvill substitute for Westfall in search of the man who can take over Bob's duties next autumn. Don Boor, roly-poly sophomore, is the brightest prospect on the basis of his yoeman work thus far. Line Is Strong Consideration now shifts to the} front men for these backfield crowd- pleasers. On the whole, the line ap- pears to be almost as rugged, fast and capable as the famed Seven Ground Hogs of 1940. At center, sen- ior Bob Ingalls returns and will be out to earn the All-Conference rating accorded him by many grid experts in their spring advances. Behind Ingalls is another senior, Ted Ken- nedy, who needs only a little more experience on defense to be Big Red's equal at the pivot position. Purdue is sid to have the best guards in the Conference, a claim which must remain a moot question because the Boilermakers and Wol- verines do not tangle. Several times last year, games were held up while Bob Kolesar was searched for con- cealed weapons. The 195-pound jun- ior plays football strictly for keeps. His partner at the other guard spot will likely be Bill Melzow, whose in- If you play basketball, squash, do gy nastics or wrestle, you will want comfortable and long wearing equipment.

For reserve duty, Crisleri can call on Bob Flora and Ted Denise, both of whom are veterans. At end alone is the line noticeably weaker this fall, the reason being contained in two words--Ed Fruitig,. whose spectacular play in 1940 must1 remain but a .cherished memory.z Happily, however, Joe Rogers is el-' igible for another year of'competitiont and is expected to hold down one flank position. Fraumann Will Start , At the other, the veieran Harlan 't (Whitey) Fraumann gets preference- but Whitey will have to keep on the ball to retain the nod over juniors Rudy Smeja ad Phil Sharpe, both l greatly improved over last year, and sophomore prospects Jack Karwales and Walt Freihofer. To sum up now: Without Harmon the backfield will undoubtedly be weaker, but with 'Westfall's indefa- tigable running and the 'assortment of kicking, passing and running that Coach Crisler has at his command, a highly efficient offensive unit is to be looked for. The line, while seemingly weaker at Phi Delta Theta Wins FraternitySports Title Final counting of the fraternity sports totals last year found Phi Delta Theta in first place with 195 point margin. Scoring the largest total number of points on record, 1,435, the Phi Delts showed strength in every sport, although they took championships in only two, speed- ball and squash. In second place with a total of 1,236 points was Sigma Chi. With' titles in three sports, both A and B basketball and golf, the Sigma Chis made a game bid for the final lead. Statistics showed that only 10 fra- ternities entered teams in all 19 sports. Also it was found that only one man, Herb Whipple, athletic manager of Beta Theta Pi, partici- pated in 11 sports during the year.
