Starting at 2:30, he put a squad of 16 which included only four lettermen, through two and three man offensive paces. At 3:30 a huge contingent of guards and centers took over the floor and at 4:30 an equally Week's Outstanding Linemen NEW YORK, Oct. 16-P)-Burr Baldwin, UCLA end who scored the touchdown that sent the Bruins into the 1943 Rose Bowl game and then interrupted his gridiron career to serve more than three years in the Army, is football's "Lineman of, the Week."

A trio of guards, Plato Andros of Oklahoma, Steve Suhey of Penn State and Knox Ramsey of William and Mary, also received considerable praise for their work last week. Other outstanding linemen of the past week included : Ends--Elmer Madar, Michigan; Abe Addams, Indiana; Hank Fold- berg, Army. Guards-George Kraeger, Michi- gan; Hank Hachten, Stanford; Joe Steffy, Army.

Ozzie 'Cowles Head Basktball Coach With increased talk of a Wolverine Rose Bowl bid, Cowles faces the pros- pect of opening the season with only e lettermen Don Linquist from the '44 e starting squad in the fold. Other let- e ter-winnersbat the first practice were Marty Feinberg, Bob Baker and Gor- don Rosencrans from last year's five. One of Cowles' biggest jobs will be tgive the Wolverines a winning complex. Not since the 1936-37 cam- , paign has the Maize and Blue had a better than .500 club in the Big Ten, and with every school in the Con- ference loaded with talent this year, it won't be easy. Illinois has the "Whiz Kids," Iowa has Ives; Danner, and Weir back, and throughout the Big Nine line-up it's the same story. Nevertheless, Michigan should win its share of ball games while bWild- ing for the future. Basketball managers are ur- gently needed to help take care of this year's huge squad. Stu- dents interested with afternoons after 2:00 p.m. free, should see the senior manager at the Field House any afteroon.

PROF TURNS COACH: Robert Dixon Sueeeeds Weir As Wolverme Tennis Mentor Big Nine, Local Grid Tilts This Week-end Northwestern at Michigan Wisconsin at Illinois Purdue at Ohio State Iowa at Indiana Wyoming at Minnesota Michigan State at Penn State Detroit at Tulsa Wayne at George Washington W. Robert Dixon, a faculty mem-I ber in the Michigan School of Edu- cation, has been named to succeed LeRoy Weir as head coach of the Wolverine tennis team, it was an- nounced yesterday by the Michigan athletic department. Dixon who helped Weir coach the Wolverines' 1946 tennis team is no newcomer to the net game. The new Maize and Blue coach was ranked number 19 in the nation last year by the United States Lawn Tennis As- sociation. Graduate of Syracuse Dixon graduated from Syracuse University in 1938 and coached the Orange freshman tennis team in 1939. He joined the Michigan facul- ty in September 1945 after being dis- charged from the armed forces. The new Wolverine net mentor did not take part in any national tourna- ments this year but he did win the Michigan State singles title at Flint this summer. Dixon also teamed up with his predecessor, Weir, to cop the Hamtramck Open doubles tour- nament. In order to retain his amateur standing Dixon will serve at Michi- gan without pay. His position will be analagous to that of Gardnar Mulloy who coaches at Miami Uni- veirsity, Fla., without pay and re- tains his national amateur standing. Second Appointment to Staff Weir resigned earlier this fall to accept a post as Dean of Men and professor of history at Carroll Col- lege, Waukesha, Wis. Weir had been head tennis coach at Michigan since 1937. His teams of 1941, 1944 and 1945 took Western Conference championships. Weir previously held national ratings in both tennis and squash. Dixon's appointment is the second on the Wolverine coaching staff this fall. 5flEflZ TOGGERY 521 EAST LIBERTY - Michigan Theatre Bldg.
