Gridders in Two Groups
Lund, Five Others Work Out in Field House;
Coach Fisher Directs Ten Remaining Players

Michigan's basketball squad took
on a decided football flavor yester-
day with the revelation by Head
Coach Bennie Oosterbaan of the
names of six gridders working with
the squad in the Field House plus 10
more in a separate group under the
tutelage of Coach Ray Fisher in the
I-M building.
Heading the list are two veterans
of last season, letter winner Don
Lund who held down a starting guard
assignment throughout the season,
and forward Bruce Hilkene, a re-
serve last winter. Others practicing
with the squad are Jack Veisen-
burger, Bill Roper, Roger Ely, and
Cecil Freihofer, all newcomers to the
Wolverine basketball scene.
Gridders Defeated
In Fisher's group are Charles
Sampson, Bill Redmond, Tom Swift,
Tom Peterson, Howard Yerges, Jack
1Eackstadt, Joe Ponsetto, Maurice
Dunne, Art Renner, and Dick Pat-
rick. Renner is the only member
of this contingent with previous cage
experience at Michigan, having been
a reserve last year. Oosterbaan in-
dicated that some of these men will

As all of the footballers are severa
weeks behind the rest of the squad
as far as basketball conditioning goes
it is probable that none of them wil
break into the lineup for at least
two or three weeks. That they are
not yet ready to compete with the
rest of the squad was demonstrated in
a scrimmage yesterday afternoon in

which the gridders were handed a
decisive 20-2 shellacking by the reg-
ular first string.
Lund at Center?
Lund and Hilkene are considered
the chief threats to break into the
starting lineup in the near future.
By virtue of having won two letters
for his work on the hardwood at a
guard position, Lund will probably
work at that post, although there is
a possibility that he will be tried
as a center to relieve the talent
shortage at the position.
Most of the other gridders bring
good high school records with them,
and at least one, Ely, has a name
to live up to. His father, Gilbert Ely,
ranks as one of Michigan's basketball
greats for his work with the 1922
and '23 outfits.
Stick to Lineup
In spite of the influx of talent
created by the closing of the grid
campaign, the Wolverines will ad-
here to the same lineup which took
the floor against Romulus and Cen-
tral Michigan with Keith Harder and
Ted Berce at forwards, Don Mullaney
at center, and Don Lindquist and
George Kell at guards for the game
with Western Michigan Saturday.
Western, which took two decisions
from the Wolverines last winter, got
off to a flying start last week by
trouncing the Kellogg Field quintet,
45-33. The Broncos have lost all
of last year's squad which rated as
one of the finest in the Mid-West,
but are expected to provide an in-
teresting evening for Michigan nev-
ertheless.

the person of Glen Selbo, formerly
of Wisconsin, who held down a start-
ing forward berth on the Badger,
quintet last season and was one of
Wisconsin's leading scorers. In addi-
tion, Read has several promising
freshmen.

team for two years, was named yes-

ers ever to don a Michigan uniform
and was chosen all Mid-West center
in 1937.
During his years on the puck squad
he established a three-year intercol-
legiate scoring record by netting 116
goals. While attending the univer-
sity, Heyliger not only won major
awards in hockey, but also played
in the outfield on the Wolverine base-

After his graduation in 1937, Mi-
