Rembiesa stole second and completed the circuit on succes- sive singles by Fox and Tommel- Boros Triples Michigan wound up its scoring when Boros led off with his third hit of the day, a slam between the outfielders good enough for three bases. Bob Sealby, on first via a walk, broke for second. He was caught in a run-down and tagged out, but not until Boros had raced home with the eighth and final run. Although facing a comparitively weak team, Michigan did very pecially outstanding were Boros, and Howie Tommelien.' well at the plate yesterday. Es- Coach Fisher, who has been looking for a third pitcher, should have been encouraged by the per- formance of his hurlers against the Titans. Pitchers Improve Besides Clark's fine appearance, both Girardin and Ferrelli pitched sound ball. Michigan's next game will. be' a home stand against Western Michigan next .Tuesday. After stringing together three straight victories, the Wolverines will be looking for -a. fourth against the always tough Broncos. His est Day Grey Named New Sports Staff Editor Dave Grey, '57, was appointed Daily sports editor for the 1956- 57 school year by the Board in Control of Student Publications at its bi-monthly meeting last night. Named to the other senior posts of associate sports editors were Dick Cramer, '57, and Steve Heil- pern, '57. Grey, a 20-yr.-old journalism major from New York City, is a member of Phi Gamma Delta fraternity. He hopes to enter some field of journalism when he gradu- ates. Cramer hails from Harrisburg, Pa., and is majoring in sociology, which he intends to use in a career in research in that field. Heilpern, who comes from Crest- wood, N.Y., is a speech major and a member of Tau Delta Phi frat- ernity. After graduation, he in- tends to go into radio and tele- vision production. These three succeed this past year's senior editors Phil Douglis, Alan Eisenberg, and Jack Hor- witz. KRAMER MAKES IMPORTANT CHANGE: Grid Squad Starts Spring Practice Tomorrow DAVE GREY . .. Sports Editor S T E V E BOROS, Michigan's sparkling sophomore third base- man, was adept both at the plate and in the field in yester- day's game with Detroit. Boros hit safely three out of four times, collecting a single, a double, and a triple. He also made a sensational running catch of a foul.fly hit almost be- hind the stands. By DICK CRAMER Michigan'smost heralded foot-c ball experiment in recent years begins tomorrow when the Wolfer-a ines launch spring practice at 3 p.m. on Ferry Field. A crew of promising freshmen. and veteran performers will share the spotlight in the first of their off-season training sessions with the start of Coach Bennie Ooster- baan's attempts to convert his all- American left end Ron Kramer to right halfback. Several Chsange Actually, the.Kramer experiment is but one of several that may take place during the 201 practice ses- sions allowed by the NCAA in the next 36 days. The Wolverines are scheduled to ened spring drills May 12 when they stage the an- nual intra-squad contest in the Stadium. Kramer has virtually giten up his hopes of becoming a nine- letter athlete by volunteering his services at Michigan's weakened wingback position. He'll forego outdoor track this spring in an effort to master the backfleld slot vacated by graduating Wolverine star Tony Branoff. Important Switch If Kramer is successful in the proposed shift, everything will be fine for the Maize and Blue. But other moves will be necessitated if it is decided to keep the fabu- lous junior in the line. The future Wrestlers Win Two f r e s h m e n Michigan wrestlers qualified last night in the regional Olympic tryouts. Willard Root won in the 125 pound free style class and Karl Latomski took first in the 114 pound Greco Roman division. The wins would have en- abled the two to compete in the next step of the tournament to be held in Los Angeles, but be- cause of school, neither can go. vised. not to try to speed his, re- covery' from a winter leg operation. Oosterbaan and his assistants will be concentrating on individual abilities now, leaving for the fall the bulk of the job of molding the men into a smooth-playing team. 'Jim Pace will receive much at- tention in his efforts to gain more naturalness at left halfback. Like Kramer, Pace has chosen grid practice over a promising track season. Emphasis On Passing In order to perfect Michigan's passing to the level of its catch- ing, veteran quarterbacks Jim. Maddock and Jim VanPelt, as well as freshman Bob Ptacek, will get special instruction. Fullback position is almost cer- tain to go to a newcomer. It is hoped that freshman John Bern- stein or Jim Byers, ineligible last fall, will develop so that the only returnee, Shannon, will not be needed at the position.

The faculty of Minnesota Uni- versity was the only group so far in the Big Ten to vote against the renewal of the Rose Bowl Pact with the Pacific Coast Conference. This will mean that another meeting of the athletic represen- tatives of the schools will have to be called this spring. If the members of this group pass the renewal by a majority vote it will become effective next fall. Since Minnesota is the only school out of the six that have voted so far, to register negatively, it seems quite certain that the pact will be renewed.

Associate Sports Editor Michigan Rifle Squad Takes Big Ten Title MICHIGAN CITY, Ind. (A$)- Michigan's rifle team won the Big Ten season title although they lost to Wisconsin in the Big Ten rifle meet championship yesterday. With the meet scores added to the season total, the Wolverines added the season 5634, even though they lost to Wisconsin by only one point 1421 to 1420. Jan Gogulski and Paul Hays of Michigan were picked by the coaches for an all star team along with. Bob Thomas of Indiana, Richard Dixon of Wisconsin, and William Einsel and Henry Akers of Ohio State. Roberta Gubbins, a junior at Michigan was ranked seventh by the coaches. Miss Gubbins shot 281 yesterday, but she will not be eligible to compete next year be- cause of a new ruling that women may not compete in the champion- ships. Trailing Michigan for the sea- son crown were Wisconsin 5609, Ohio State 5595, Indiana 5569, Iowa 5536, Illinois 5496, Purdue 5410, and Michigan State 4340. Thomas and Dixon tied for the individual championship, but Thomas won the title with a higher score in the offhand postilon shooting. There are openings for fresh- men interested in trying out as football managers., Anyone interested should re- port to Ferry Field Monday afternoon or contact David Lundquist at NO 2-6373. -Undergraduate Managers Council status of several team members hinges on the outcome of. the ex- periment. Among those with special inter- est in the, proceedings will be the many candidates for end. With another all-American, Tom Maentz, solidly installed as the right end, some of the prospects may try new positions if Kramer, too, remains ahead of them in the flank competition. Left halfback Terry Barr is be- ing held in reserve as the most likely solution to the right. half problem if Kramer is not satisfac- tory, there. Chances are that Barr will not be on hand for much of spring drills, however.

Canham was speaking of his popular shot putter Dave Owen, present Big Ten champion. As a "nice guy," Owen is complete-a hustler, a worker and a team man. Track is supposed to.be an in- dividual sport, but it seems as if the big 220-pound weight man Owen never heard those words. During every meet he can be seen on the inside of the running track, cheering and shouting his team- mates on, whether they, are in first place or last. Surprise Champion The husky shot putter emerged last year from "a possible point- GOLFERS PRACTICE RANGE NOW OPEN on US 23 and Packard Rd. getter" to a champion within a period of a few hours. That was the day of the Big Ten indoor track meet. Until that Saturday at Jenison Field House, Owen was never much better than a 50-foot putter. Then a sophomore, the best throw he could boast was only a couple of inches past the 50 foot mark. After the meet was under way, he sent the 16-pound iron ball sailing 53'%". This was tops for the day. In the preliminaries that day Dave was only fourth best with a measly put of 47 feet. Since then Owen has gained greater distance while successfully defending his title twice among the rough Big Ten competition. To date he is "batting" three-for- three and still has three more title tries. Prep Footballer At high school in hometown Milwaukee, Dave was best known for his football ability. He was named tackle on one high school All America squad. It wasn't un- til he was a junior that he at- tempted the shot put. Then his best with the 12-pound shot was 54'11". His best prep school put is less than his ever-improving college mark. His best college throw of 55'18", was accomplished in this year's Michigan AAU meet. Can- ham predicts he will throw the shot 57 feet some day. Future Engineer Owen is majoring in aeronauti- cal engineering, and this influenc- ed him to come to Michigan. He has been elected to the junior eng- ineering honorary, Triangle. The big junior's favorite pas- times include jazz, classical music and sketching, He follows all sports, but par- ticipates only on the gridiron and track.
