With Bob Ufer as the backbone of the quartet, Coach Ken Doherty can build tthis year's team from three returning lettermen and a very outstanding newcomer. The veterans who are again run- ning in this event, the 440, are Willis Glas, Don Sternisha, and Bill Mat- ney. The newcomer is Mel Detwiler, formerly of Central Michigan. Three of these four men will join with Ufer to fornm the mile relay quartet. . Gas Rejoins Squad Glas, as many will remember, has been a mainstay on the squad for two years, and was particularly out- standing last year in contributing fine, steady running to the relay group. Glas is a "money" runner- that is, he is always there at the finish, in the money. He has turned. in several commendable times in the 440, notably a sub-fifty second jaunt at the Penn Relays last year. Will is a steady, dependable runner and should again be a .definite asset. Don Sternisha, a Clevelander by origin, achieved considerable atten- tion during the Illinois-Michigan track meet last year when he took thirds in the 100 and 220 yard dash- es in his first collegiate competition. He is fast, determined, and durable, and a hard runner to beat. Matney Returns Also Bill Matney came to Michigan last year after spending two years at Wayne University. Running was a new experience for him, however, but under Coach Stackhouse's careful tutelage, hledeveloped into a promis- ing quartermiler. Bill received his acid test at the, Penn Relays, where he ran the second leg on the relay team. He became a regular member of the quartet, but suffered with a bone injury in his foot near the end of the outdoor season. Matney is capable of breaking fifty seconds this indoor season. His best performance; outdoors was a :49.6 effort last spring. Mel Detwhiler is a Navy trainee, and a transfer from Central State. Mel was a very much sought after, runner npon graduation from high school, and chose to run at Central. A smooth, graceful runner, Mel has already lived up to his reputation by being most outstanding in practice., Detwhiler is expected to go below fifty seconds and certainly is a threat to the lettermen. With these men to choose from, there is no doubt that Coach Doh- erty is pointing to the coming indoor season with high hopes. The relay team contenders will see initial ac- tion on Dec. 18, when the squad will, divide for a Navy-Civilian encounter. Illinois Swamps U. of . CHAMPAIGN, Dec. 7.-(P)-Er- ploying a fast-breaking offense which rolled up a 31 to 8 halftime lead, Il-' linois opened its intercollegiate bas- ketball season tonight with a 56 to 25 victory over the University of De- troit. Dan Patrick, Illini forward, and guard Joe Smith of Detroit, shaxed high scoring honors, each notching 12 points. v3 football Eleven Irish Gain Two Places As Midwest Steals Show 1y The Assoiited Press N.
