Ross has been clocked -for the distance at 1:56.1 and Bob in 1:56.3. However with more training and practice these times should be shortened. The reason why These twins might be changed to the mile is that Cap- tain-elect Dave Matthews and John Roxborough have already proved that they are two good men for this distance. The former ran the dis- tance in 1:52 flat in the National Collegiates, which is the second fast- est Michigan time on record. The lat- ter has shown that, he is capable of running the race in 1:55 or there- abouts. In the Sprints, the 60, the 100, and the 220, returning letterman, Leon- ard Alkon, and sophomore Jack Martin definitely look good. All of the sophomores have not yet shown their talents, but there are several who will help Martin and Alkon pick ith hi e best freshman squad in be two other boys from way up north. server to expect, and in the process s the history of Michigan hockey form- At the wings will be Bob Opland from keep the puck on opposition ice, there a ing the backbone of the team, Coach Calgary in the upper peninsula, and will be a better than good record to Eddie Lowrey's 1942-43 sextet will be Wilbert Ahonen from Mohawk in the point at when the next seasor is over.'l one cf. the most powerfuil outfitsever same region.

The thinclads' two mile relay team took the Drake Relays title and several other thinclads placed in various events. Hampered by Injuries The cindermen were hampered all year by injuries to key men. Captain vide plenty of competition for any and all comers. -Among the 'freshmen, the Hume twins. Ross and Bob, are the out- standing varsity material. Of them Coach Doherty said, "The Humes will make the team. They will be very useful in picking up second and third place points in any event they run in. I have not yet decided whether or not to use them in the half mile or the mile, but they can run either dis- tance." Both Ross and Bob are capable of CAPT.

The theory be- hind the greatest Wolverine track teams has not been to win every event, but rather to win a few and pick up second and third place points in every event. In the hurdles, Michigan can look forward to fine performances from Frank McCarthy, who scored four- teen points in the Notre Dame meet last year, and Chuck Pinney, who was fourth in the Conference Indoor Meet last year. Jim Byerley and Joe Leahy are two other returning veter- ans, while a promising freshman, now sophomore, group will be of help in aiding the Wolverine cause. In the 440 Bob Ufer ought, to be Big Ten champion. As for the mile relay team Coach Doherty does not yet know who will run with Ufer. Bill Wheatly, RalphGibson and sev- eral sophomores will all get consid- eration for the three posts, The mile relay has always been one of Michi- gan's best events and probably will remain so"this year. The half mile shapes up as the strongest event for the Maize and Blue. With Matthews, Roxborough, and the two Humes, all who are cap- able of 1:56 or better, Coach Doherty has nothing to worry about in this distance. I.
