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. * * * * WRESTLING SCHEDULE Jan. 8 --Ohio University, Here Jan. 15--Purdue, There Feb. 5 -Navy, There Feb. 19--Indiana, Here Feb. 26--Ohio State, Here Feb. 28-Northwestern, There Mar. 5 -Iowa, There for FORMAL RENTALS All New - Al!
