Bseball Coach Search Continues

By JIM BENAGH
Behind Athletic Director H. 0.
isler's "horsehide and stitches
rtain" at the Athletic Adminis-
ation Building, the search for
ichigan's next baseball coach
ntinues.
"S$ome 25 to 30 possibilities,,are
der consideration for the job,
cording to Crisler, who has been
pointed by the Board in Control
Intercollegiate Athletics to sur-
y and interview candidates.
Big List
Crisler would not release a car-
ete list of contenders for retiring
y Fisher's position, but said that
s present roll includes about 15
20 applicants and 10 suggestions
his own.
"The new coach probably won't
be selected for some time yet," he
said. "No meeting date is planned,
but it will probably be in June,
when Fisher's retirement is effec-
tive."
The athletic director stressed
that, at present, he hasn't been
ordered to nominate a coach for
the Board's approval. However, in
the past he has been asked to
nominate them in some cases.
Assistant track coach Elmer
Swanson and freshman baseball
mentor Matt Patanelli/ (also an,
aide in football and basketball),
were the only names revealed.
Another much-rumored aspir-
ant, Don Lund, said that he def-
initely will apply and is "very in-
terested." Rumors throughout the
spring persist that he has the in-
side tract for the job.
Once a nine-letter winner at
Michigan, Lund is now a coach for
the Detroit Tigers. He played for
both Crisler and Fisher and was
Swanson's teammate in the years
1942-5.
"If I was offered the job, I'd
consider it seriously, as I think
it would be a very good deal for
me," Lund said. "Right now, it's
just a matter of sitting down.and
discussing it with Fritz."
Lund Optimistic
Hinting optimism, he explained
about his chances: "All I know is
from hearsay and what I've been
reading in the papers-all of which
has been good."
Crisler pointed out that the new
coach "does not have to come from
the Michigan family (graduated
M' athletes) ."
Many of the Michigan coaches
hired in Crisler's time, including
six present incumbents, were non-
Michigan men.
In choosing baseball coaches,
Big Ten schools have preferred to
dip into the professional ranks.
Fisher, a Middlebury (Vt.) College
graduate, came directly from the
Cincinnatti'Reds.
