"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.
