Insights into Next Fall
SPRING FOOTBALL is officially over. It came to a rather quiet
conclusion last Saturday afternoon out at the Stadium. Coach
Bennie Oosterbaan reports that the 20 practice sessions he held were
mainly devoted to discovering new, and more important, necessary
material to fill the vacancies left by 16 graduating lettermen. Whether
he accomplished his goal will really never be known until the season
gets underway next September 27. But' Spring practice for the
Wolverine grid hopefuls did reveal certain insights into what is in
store for local football fans in the fall.
Michigan, almost always picked as a pre-season contender for the
the Big Ten championship, will assume a back seat role in 1958. This
piediction is not as dismal as it may first appear. In the last three
seasons, the Wolverines were always rated at or near the top. Last
year, one national football prognosticator even had enough courage
to rank Michigan first in the nation. This season, with a secondary
rating, perhaps the Maize and Blue will surprise.
Another conclusion that can be drawn after watching three weeks
of Spring practice is that the 1958 edition of the Michigan football
team will not be the squad composed of individual stars that fans
in the area have been accustomed to watching in the past. Jim Pace,
the 1957 All-American, is gone and definitely will be sorely missed.
There is no Kramer or Maentz or Barr. If an individual star is to
suddenly emerge, all indications point that the likely candidate is
fullback John Herrnstein.
But "Herrny" has" been very prone to injury. If Michigan is to
perform effectively, it will no doubt have to be a team effort-a team
performance.
Yankees-All the Way. .
THE' MAJOR LEAGUE season got underway a little over a month
ago, but for all practical purposes, the American League race could
end right now. In fact, for most of the teams in the junior circuit, it
might be a merciful event. The reason for all the pessimism is, of
course, the "abnormal" existence of the New York Yankees.
Before anyone, except Yankee fans, could really take notice, the
Gotham pennant monopolists have vaulted into a six-and-one-half
game lead over the rest of the timid pack. And from all indications,
that margin is certainly to be increased. Rumors already have been
circulating, revealing that Casey Stengel is saving his starters for the
World Series. It is possible, however, that a sudden shift will occur,
and the race may tighten up. After all, almost anything is possible,
but then the realm of miracles is approached when a Yankee reversal
is suggested. Oh well, there are still over four months of play remain-
ing. You never can tell.
Like -last season, most of the interest in professional baseball is
once again being generated by the National League. Milwaukee, the
World Champions of 1957, are being matched game for game by one
of the invaders of the West Coast, the San Francisco Giants. Even
Pittsburgh is putting up its usual early season challenge. The powerful
season starts for such established stars as Willie Mays and Stan Musial
help to stir the excitement. Predicting the pennant winner in the
Senior Circuit is really absurd. About the only safe bet is that the
National League representative must be prepared to meet the Yanks.
Ands don't be surprised if there is once again a subway series-with
3,000 miles separating the stations.
Wouldn't It Be Unusual If .. .
Michigan went to the Rose Bowl next year.
The Yankees finished last.
Willie Mays was traded to the Tigers.
Final exams were cancelled.
Washington copped the American League crown.
"Soapy" Williams lost a gubernatorial race.
There were no shadows surrounding the SGC elections.
There was another heavyweight besides Floyd Patterson.

After last Saturday's track meet
in which Michigan tied Purdue,
Coach Don Canham might well
scratch his head and wonder about
the powers of the supernatural.
Once again a "bad break" forced
the Wolverines to settle for a tie
in a meet that Canham stated "We
should have won by 10-20 points."
But that has been Canham's la-
ment at every dual meet this sea-
son. "We should have won, BUT
." The "But" is an endless list-
ing of stars lost through ineligi-
bilities, injuries and an uncanny
amount of bad luck at the meet
itself.
Stanger Falls Short
Pete Stanger, Wolverine star
hurdler, was added to the listing
I
at Saturday's meet. Stanger, hold-
ing a three yard lead in the 220-
yd. low hurdles, the next-to-last
event of the afternoon, hit the
final hurdle and fell to the cinders
five yards from the finish line.
The loss in the hurdles plus Pur-
due's victory in the mile relay en-
abled them to tie the meet at 66
points.
This was the final dual meet
of the season for the Michigan
squad and brought their record to
four wins, two defeats and one tie.
Freshmen Show Promise
Canham was lifted from his
melancholy, though, at yesterday's
practice by the sight of one of his
many great freshmen stars, Tony
Seth, straining to the finish of the
600 yd. run. Seth's time announced
at 1:13 against a stiff breeze. Can-
ham excited, hollered, "Terrific
just terrific."
DickrCephas, another sensa-
tional freshman, performed equally
well with a 23.8 in the 220 low
hurdles.
"They're a tough bunch (the
freshmen) not afraid of punishing
themselves to win." Canham stated
with a "wait 'til next year" look
in his eye.
Indiana Touted High
This Saturday, though, the var-'
sity will have to go through its
paces at the Big Ten champion-
ships at Layfayette, Ind.
Indiana, the indoor champion,
is also expected to take the out-
door championship. Led by Greg
Bell, the greatest broadjumper in
the world, the Hoosiers also have
two other record holders in Willie
May, in the 220-yd. low hurdles
and Harold Caffey, in the 440.
Ohio State is expected to be the
other top contender with its one-
man team, Glen Davis."
As for Michigan, well as Canham
commented, "The only gratifica-
tion I'll have will be the freshman
summary in my back pocket." .

Cooley's victory in 'A' softball
came over Van Tyne, 9-8, in a first
place playoff game, before a large
crowd under the lights at Wines
Field.Trailing 8-7 going into the
top half of the last inning, Cooley
took the lead, on a triple by Kim
Greene, a single by Steve Kap-
lan and a fielder's choice by Ray
Jacobs.
Makes Good Catch
Further scoring was prevented
by a sensational running save on
the part of Van Tyne's second
baseman, Pete Havens.
In the last half of the inning,
Cooley pitcher, Dave Kratze got
out the side with the help of an-
other great catch; this time Cooley
shortstop Dean Metzger made a
spearing catch.
Batting star for the hard-hitting
Van Tyne squad was Tom De-
nomme whose clutch singles drove
in four runs. Tight defensive play
enabled Cooley to win this hard
fought contest.
Reeves Wins Game
In the other first place playoff
game Reeves held off a late rally
by Adams to win a high scoring
game, 18-16.

While everybody knows that
the soft collar on Van Heusen
Century Shirts won't wrinkle,
ever, a Van Heusen survey
among college students has
revealed that precious. few
know why. Here are some of
the responses:
J. L.-sophomore at the
Psychodynamic Institute for
Arts, Crafts, and NumberPaint-
ing-"Obviously, the collar
won't wrinkle, because it's
afraid to wrinkle. It may have
been threatened by some surly
Van Heusen vice-president.
Ergo, it exhibits the Cavandish
anti-wrinkle syndrome."
G. F.-junior at Usury
School of Advertising-"Collar-
wise, there's no demand for
wrinkles. No customer benefit.
Now, this is strictly off the
top of my cranium, but the
statement, 'the soft collar that
won't wrinkle, ever,' is too
negative. Substitute 'never' for
'ever' and you not only have
a positive statement-but-
as demonstrated by that
famous cigarette, this
ungrammatical concept will be
attention-getting."
L. V.-senior quarterback at
Miltown College-"I wouldn't
be without a Van Heusen.
Look here... under my pleat-
less shoulder pads. See? Out
of simple decency, the collar
refrains from wrinkling. It's
this kind of restraint that
recently led to our glorious
victory over Birdbrain U. Not
a man was scathed. Huzzah for
the collar-and fight furiously,
fellows."
Yes, this is the kind of
ignorance we run across.
Actually, while other collars
are made of 3 pieces of mate-
rial, the secret of this soft collar
with its wrinkle-shunning
qualities is one-piece con-
struction. Van Heusen Cen-
tury shirts come in 5 collar
styles. $4 and $5.
We have absolutely never offered
a greater camera value.
