For example, at the tailback slot vacated by '51 Captain Bill Putich, three candidates are successfully competing for a starting berth on next year's team. * * * DON EVANS, a 185 pound fresh- man from Chagrin Falls, Ohio, Ted Kress, a sophomore from De- troit, and Norm Canty from Chi- cago, who was sidelined last sea- son due to injuries. In addition, Men are urgently needed to umpire intra-mural softball g a m e s. Anyone interested please call 8109. --Bill L'Heureux Don Eaddy and Dan Cline, who are both out for Ray Fisher's base- ball team, figure prominently in Coach Oosterbaan's 1952 plans. Fred Baer and Dick Balzhiser are top contenders for Don Pet- erson's old position at fullback. Both players hail from Illinois, the former from La Grange and the latter comes from Wheaton. Strong candidates for the tackle position vacated by big Tom John- son are freshman Art Walker, sophomore Don Bennett and junior Dick Strozewski. * * * TOP PROSPECTS to take over Pete Kinyon's old job at guard are sophomore Ron Williams and junior Don Dugger. Dugger is a letterman from last season's squad. Outstanding candidates to replace the graduating Jim Wolter at the other guard position are Dick Beison and Casimir Chomicz. A search is also on for a ca- pable replacement for end Fred Pickard. Hopefuls include soph- omores Leo Schlicht, Gene Knu- tson, and George Dutter and freshman John Veselenak. Lowell Perry, who is now out for track, will return to his familiar left end position next season, and there is expected to be considerable strength and depth backing up the Ypsilanti junior.

Wolverines began competition in the Penn Re- lays at Philadelphia. Nilsson hurled the plate 160 feet, 113/4 inches, more than nine feet farther than Lafayette's John Ellis. Michigan's crack mile relay team failed to break the medley record, but still managed to score an impressive victory on a muddy track. They negotiat- ed the distance in 10:18.1.

That's about the size of it, as reported from Coach Wes Fesler's head- quarters at Minneapolis. Halfback Paul Giel, all-around Big Ten offensive record breaker during the 1951 grid campaign, will carry the load during Fesler's second year of rebuilding the pre- viously degenerated Gophers. OF THE 14 lettermen lost to the squad this season, six of them played tackle. That position, to- gether with team speed and de- fense will give Minnesota its greatest problems.

Michigan Netters Face Indian In Opening Home M ect Today Five veterans, an untested soph- omore, and a freshman will com- prise the Michigan lineup when the Wolverines meet Indiana this afternoon at 2:30 on the Ferry Field courts in the first home meet of the tennis season. Coach Bill Murphy has elected to start Al Mann, the freshman, at No. 1 singles for the Maize and Blue. Behind Mann comes hold- overs S t e v e Bromberg, Mike Schwartz, Gene Barrack, and Jay Webb for singles berths 2-5 re- spectively. .* * * ROUNDING OUT the sextet is Jim "Birdie" Stevens, the sopho- more, who won the No. 6 post only Thursday by beating letter- man Jack Smart. For the three doubles matches Murphy announced Bromberg- Barrack, Schwartz-Mann, and Stevens-Bob Curhan as his com- binations. Curhan earned a let- ter last year playing No. 6 sing- les and third doubles with Bar- rack. Against this formidable aggre- gation Hoosier mentor Dale Lewis will send a team generally regard- ed as better than his last year's outfit that finished fourth in the Conference tournament. * * * CAPTAIN BOB Burnham is slat- ed to play No. 1 singles against Mann. A six-foot senior, Burnham was top man for the Hoosiers last year. Bromberg's foe probably will be Eli Glazer, Big Ten titlist at No. 3 singles in 1951. Burnham and Glazer make up the first doubles combo. Don McDowell, No. 5 man last season, is another fixture for the Cream and Crimson. Remainder of the visiting squad will be skimmed from freshmen Tom Lynch and John Hironimus, and sophomores Bob Barker and Dwayne Gomer. Gomer and Lynch played as a doubles team through high school, and they probably! will be Lewis' second duo.I ii U I Short SHORT Story gotta have underwear???
