PAGE SIXTEEN THE MICHIGAN DAILY WEDNESDAY, DECEMBER 6, 1950 OUTLOOK BRIGHT: Soph Standouts Bolster Track Team MSC All-Opponents Named By BYRLE ABBIN EAST LANSING-The Univer- sity of Michigan's football captain, tackle Al Wahl; was selected on a Michigan State College all-op- ponent team otherwise dominated by Maryland and Notre Dame, the Michigan's track squad, seeking the top rung in Big Ten and Na- tional track prominence, has been bolstered considerably this year by the addition of numerous stand- outs from last year's well-balanc- ed freshman team. Prime among these present soph cindermen is Van Bruner, a top notch hurdler- whose possibilities have high boundaries. He is look- ed upon to give varsity stalwarts such as Don Hoover, Wally Atchi- son, and Jim Mitchell a tough fight for top billing among the Wolver- ine skippers. * *' * AND NOT to be outdone in this phase is Dave THill, a present Mich- igan footballer who holds prep rec- ords in both the 120 yard high hur- dles and 200 yard low hurdles, as well as the broad jump record for Mishigan high schools. The mile relay quarter, which has been a problem for the last few years, has brightened up considerably with such runners Ii~ FOR BETTER QUALITY, as Al Rankin, Bill Graefen, Joe La Rue coming into the picture. These three, along with Karl Newman, now converted to an 880 man, composed last year's fresh- man mile relay team which broke the frosh record by posting a 3:25.3 time. MORE IMPORTANT is the fact that the old frosh record was held by present varsity mile record- holding team. Thus team with Bill Conrad, a junior sprinter, these sophs present the hope of clear- ing up the mile relay problem. Another weak spot, the high jump has been raised from prac- tically nil to a very positive as- set with the addition of Russ Tuttle and Lowell Perry to the squad. Tuttle clears 6' 2" con- sistently, and Perry, star Wolver- ine end, comes close to this mark. Perry also doubles as a broad- jumper. Terry Knulf and Dave Stinson lead the soph sprinters, bringing plenty of depth into this event, and also provide the necessary manpower, along with Art Henrie and Billl Conrad, for sprint relay teams. s « A BIG HOLE in the team, the loss of Charlie Fonville in the shot put, has been mar'. less ser- ious with the appearance of George Hammond and Ben Pedersen as weight men. The distance events, one of the strongest of Michigan's events has been even further enhanced with Delance Hyde in the mile, and Bob Guise and Bill Buck in the two mile. The only event that the sophs were not too strong in, the pole vault, as ably manned by two vete- rans Tom Emblad and Russ.Oster- man. Coach Canham's rebuilding pro- gram has fully come into view with this influx of a well balanced group of soph tarckmen, and by all ap- pearances these underclassmen will not only give their teammates a fight for positions, but will also give Michigan opponents plenty of trouble in the ensuing indoor track season. i two teams which gave the Spar- tans their hardest battles.

The most important new ac- quisition is the new ivrestling room, replacing the antiquated quarters on the balcony of Yost Field House where Michigan grap- plers have toiled for over 25 years.

However, the room is not the only major change for the Maize and Blue wrestlers.

By BOB CARPENTER Michigan's varsity wrestling squad will open its season against Toledo on Dec. 16 at Yost Field House. Coach Cliff Keen, who is start- ing his twenty fifth year as head Wolverine grappling mentor, ex- pects the, squad to be in good shape for its first dual meet. HOWEVER, he is handicapped by a lack of depth in the 123, 130, and 137 pound classes although first string strength is adequate. But Keen has hopes that some eager aspirants will come out and fill up these vacancies. With the return of such regu- lars as captain Bill Stapp, Dave Space, Joe Planck and Larry Nelson, the Maize and Blue prospects look bright. Captain Stapp had the added distinction of placing second in the 155 pound class in last year's Big Ten Tournament to help Michigan tie for third place with Minnesota. * * * Space and Nelson will wrestle in their customary 147 and 130 pound slots, while Planck will probably see most of his action at 177 pounds, althoug h h has wrestled in the heav yweight divm-i sion.
