Vote for SL
Coach Cliff Keen is again re-=
building.
The top mentor of Michigan
matmen has issued the call for
all grapplers, thus officially start-
ngthe 1948-49 ollegiate wrs
tig season.
* * *
SINCE THE END of last sea-
son's mat competition, Coach Keen
hias taken time out to recharge a
defending 150-pound grid cham-
pionship team 'of 1947 and bring
it successfully through a' rough
season to tie with Wisconsin for
the mythical Little Big Nine title.
Now the Wolverine mat team,
its ranks depleted, looms into
view as the next Coach Keen
rebuilding and recharging un-
dertaking.
In short, the Michigan wrestling
club, which tied with Illinois and
Iowa for second place in the Big
Nine finals last year one point
behind the Conference Champs,
Purdus, is drastically short of
matmen in all eight divisions of
collegiate competitive wrestling-.
-PROMINENT AMONG the miss-
ing list from the former squad
are the heavyweights, hugh Mack
and Dan Dworsky; the dangerous
175 pounder, Wes Tebean; George
Curtis and Maurice Smith, the
scrappy 145 pounders; and Bob
Johnston, the wiry 121 pound
grappler.
On the bright Sfide of the
ledger, though, are such familiar
names as Byron Dean, Ed
Grimes, Jim Smith, Gilbert
Ross and Captain Bob Betzig. It
is from this experienced nucleus
SEYMOUR SONKIN, Night Editor
of returning veterans that the
hopes of this year's team is
resting.
Betzig is tentatively slated for
either the 155- or 165-pound slot,
while Conference Champion Jim
Smith will figure in the 136- or
145-pound division. Also back
from last year's club is Ed Grimes,
136-pounds, and Byron Dean, di-
minutive 128-pound attraction-.
Gilbert Ross holds top honors so
far in the 121 pound class.
* * *
THE PRESENT grappling ranks
are lacking material in the formi-
dable upper wveight classes. This
group includes the 165-pounders,
the 175-pound feature, and the
heavyweights-.
Although vacationing grid-
men are expected to fill many of
the open positions, there is a
definite lack 'of new talent to
give depth at each weight class'
Since the matmen embark upon
their tour of bouts early in Janu-
ary, openIng against Ohio Uni-
versity on the 8th, time is short ~s
Coach Keen shapes up his charges,
and new candidates are still urged
to report on the balcony of Yost
Field House any afternoon.

Surpassed last year by Notre

many of the nation's authorities),
this season's edition of the Wol-

proved beyond a shadow of a doubt
their claim to the national cham-

Janice Picks 'Em
As Poppa Retires
WILLOUGHBY, O.-(P)-How
to pick football winners:
Mr. and Mrs. Alfred Hpnting-

ter, Janice, to repeat back one
team of each game and wrote that
down. Then they sent her list to
the Lakce County News Herald
weekly football contest,
The paper awarded Janice $25
yesterday for picking 16 winners
out of 20 games. She will be two
years old in February.
