4Thinclads To Vote
For New Captain
By JACK MARTIN
Michigan's thinclads get their
first taste of competition tonight
in the annual December intra-
squad cinder meet scheduled to
start at 7:30 p.m. in Yost Field
House.
More than first places will be
at stake, however, for the losing
team must furnish the victors with
pie-and-ice cream in a get-togeth-
er in the Union Cafeteria tomor-
row afternoon.
At the same meeting the
members of the squad will bal-
lot for the vacant position of
captain of the 1946-47 season.
The new leader will fill the
shoes of last year's captain, El-
mer Swanson,' low hurdler and
baseball catcher who signed
with the Detroit Tigers last
summer.
The mile run opens the eve-
ning's festivities, and it promises
to be a close race between the
Blues and Gold entrants. For the
Blue-clads Herb Barten, confer-
ence indoor 880 champion, Don
Queller, Joe Hayden, and Dave
Hess will face Dave Williams, for-
mer Georgetown distance ace,
Chuck Low, Dean Voegtlen.
A flock of dashers are ready
to sprint off the blocks in the
60-yard semi-finals, vying for
positions in the finals which
will be run after the 440, third
event on the program. The
quarter-mile will be a dog-fight
between Hugh Short and Mel
Detwiler of the Blues and Dick
Forrestal and George Shepherd
of the Golds.
The high hurdles are a wide-
open affair with Bill Osgood and
Bob Lindquist,'who have made top
showings in recent time trials, ap-
pearing as favorites. The lows,
the next-to-last event, are equal-
ly undecided, with Leroy Daggs,
Chuck Lauritsen, and Jack Mar-
tin having the best times to date.
Charlie Birdsall and Rog Kes-
sler are the main cogs in the
Blue two-mile contingent, but
they face a tough assignment in
going after the Golds' Justin
Williams and Fred Stoiker.
In the half-mile it will be Quel-
ler and Hayden of the Blues
against George Vetter, Low and
Williams.
In the field events, Chuck
Fonville of the Blues will be fa-
vored in the shot-put, with
Gold Pete Dendrinos following
close behind. Fonville and Bob
Harris carry the Blue hopes in
the high jump against Bob
Gardner and Bill McNab. Chuck
Lauritsen, Ifack Coplin, and Max
Kelly form a strong aggregation
for the Blues in the pole-vault,
facing Gene Moody and Ulves-
tad of the Golds.
The student body and general
public will be admitted free to the
meet, Coach Ken Doherty an-
nounced.
