Ceithaml is the winner of the Chicago Alumni Trophy given annually to the most improved player to participate in spring practice. Probably the biggest problem fac- ing the team is trying to replace Smithand Savilla at the tackle posts. The two most outstanding candidates for the" positions 'at pres- . ..... ent are letter-men ' .* .. Bob "Flop" Flora, i of Muskegon, and s .<.*- Ruben Kelto, of **.-. - Bessemer, who will be contested for the post by sophomores Al Wistert, of Chica- go, Rudy Sengel, of Louisville, Ky., Bob Flora and Bill Steele, of Detroit, as well as junior Jack Butler from Port Huron. Both Flora's brother "Flop" and Wistert's brother "Whitey" are fore mer All-Americans. Bob Ingalls, of Marblehead, Mass., who subbed for Evashevski at quar- ter in both the Pennsylvania and Minnesota games last season, . will probably replace Kodros at center. Among the reserves line coach Clar- ence Munn has for the slot are Ted Kennedy, Saginaw junior; Wallace Keating, Detroit sophomore, and Irv Shwayder, a sophomore from Den- ver, Colo. The bright spots in the Wolverine line are at guard , where, despite the loss of Olds, the team has two reg- ulars in Milo Suk- up of Muskegon Heights, and Ralph Fritz of New Kensington, Pa., and a third veteran in Bill Melzow, of Flint. Bob Kolesar, a Cleveland sopho- Ralph Fritz more, who was one of the two best freshmen on Coach Wally Weber's squad last season, is also very much in the running. Coach Bennie Oosterbaan's ends will be veterans Ed Frutig, of River Rouge, Joe Rogers, ofRoyal Oak, Ed Czak, of Elyria, Ohio, and Harlin fraumann, of Pontiac, with Frutig and Rogers the best bets for starting positions. Commenting on the general as- pects of the team recently, Coach Crisler remarked that he didn't see any place in the line-up where the squad would gain the full strength lost through graduation but that "if the men we have high hopes for come through we'll have a good aver- age team." He intends to use the same general style of play this year as he did last with the two chief offensive forma- tions being the unbalanced line with the single wing and the unbalanced line and short punt. 12 University Stars Became All-fA mericans By ROSEBUD SCOTT Since 1924 when Edliff "Butch" By MORT JAMPEL It was Napoleon, wasn't it, who said an army travels on , stomach. Be that as it may, Michig. , men will still travel on shoes--as soon as the auto ban goes down for the winter. Now you may read our columns on fancy jackets, new-type suits, and expensive linens, and say "Sorry, not for me." But all God's chillun got shoes, and while you have shoes you may as well pick some that will not ruin your general appearance. And shoes can do just that. They're not very much on contributing to your general attire, but if there is anything that can ruin a perfectly smart outfit,freak footwear is the thing that will do it. Thick Sole Featured Outstanding trait of all bootery this fall will be thick sole, with new rubber and cork combination leading the field. Crepe and gum soles saw their last season last year, taking a death blow because of inability to retain shape. Thick rubber soles (the thicker the better) came in on saddles, were quick to be the vogue for all-type shoes. Rubber was good, but it wore at the heel too quickly, which meant a very expensive repair job was necessary for a shoe that otherwise remained in good condition. Manu- facturers obliged by putting cork in- to the rubber-and lo! a material that will outlast the shoes themselves. No. 1 on the hit parade will agin be the yellow and light brown sport shoes, that are so popular because they go for summer, winter, after- noon and evening wear equally well. Uppers will be made of every leather -smooth skins to Scottish grained- and in most styles. But the' woven- strip and moccasin-type uppers have seen their heyday and will not be fair of light-colored rough-grained leather, with a rawhide lace that loops through two holes, slightly off center. A turned up round toe lends a boot effect, and a thick composition sole stitched on leather is improved by undersoles of white crepe, all add- ing a very rugged and rustic note to a really smart shoe. It is not espec- ially new, but lowered prives by local. booteries will enhance its popularity. Cordovans For Evenings Evening wear will see a surprising return of cordovans in wing-tips but more strongly in plain-toed Oxfords. Chocolate-colored substitute leathers that tried to replace the somewhat expensive cordovan were a thorough fiasco last year, and unfortunately served to de-popularize the real thing. But the genuine rich brown, hardiest -of-all leathers will return strongly for evening and afternoon wear as well. Interesting note in shoe-wear is the young fad that started last year, and is bound to be stronger this year. Bold Michigan men grew tired of watching engineers and forestry students slosh carelessly through the snow in huge boots, while they suf- fered wet feet in thin-soled shoes. They accordingly raided downtown low-priced shoe stores and returned to campus with ankle-high workmen's boots that boast brass rivets, stell- plated heels, boot straps and double thick rubber soles. And for a cold or slushy winter they're unbeatable. Best point of them-they never cost more than $2, and are built like Gibraltor. Michigan's Golf Coach A coach at the University for more than 14 years, Ray Courtright has served as assistant football coach in addition to serving as head golf mentor. His undergraduate days at Oklamoa University are especially notable fo rthere he won 12 varsity letters and a Phi Beta Kappa key. Before coming here in 1926 he was a Next Season's' Golfers Called Inexperienced Coach Courtright's Squad' Was Second In Big Ten Competition In 1940 By DAVID MARGOLD Next season's Wolverine golf squad will comprise a green group of boys who have little chance of equalling+ the record set last year but, with a bitt of varsity experience, it is very poss- ible that they may win the Big Ten title in 1942. " The golf team under Coach Ray Courtright last spring lost only one; match and ended second in the Con- ference standings. The squad's spark plugs, however, Captain Bob Palmer,+ Jack Emery, Bill Black and Tom Tus- sing have been lostthrough gradu- ation. Coach Courtrigrt js counting heav- ily upon the seasoned veterans he+ has left particularly on seniors Lynn Riess and Fred Dannenfelser of To- ledo and John Barr of Grosse Pointe and Juniors Dave Osler of Ann Arbor and Captain Goodwin Clark of Hins- dale, Ill.l Cliff James, a senior from Flint,7 and John Leidy and Don Jones, jun- iors from Ann Arbor and Detroit: respectively, have been poking the pellet about the difficult University course in the low,80's during the past few months and should also see action next year. Freshman Coach Trueblood has been working with a promising squad of yearlings during the past season. He reports that the two most out- standing prospects for the varsity are Ben Smith of Fort Myers, Fla., and Buel Morley of Toledo, Ohio, who probably will be high up in the race for starting positions. Other new sophomores which have been noted as possible candidates by Moaches Courtright and Trueblood are Earl J. Drake of Kalamazoo; Robert B. Arnold of Buffalo, N.Y.; Walter A. Schmid, Jr. of Fort Worth, Tex.; Robert Fife of Detroit; Morrie Boas of Chicago; Dick James of Flint, and Bill Courtright of Ann Arbor. By MYRON DANN If the rest of our team is as good1 as the infield, Michigan will have a highly successful baseball season] in 1941, was the statement made byt Coach Ray Fisher recently in dis- cussing the Wolverines diamond chances. This is an especially optimistic note for two reasons, first, because Coach Fisher is the conservative, redisent type of individual and, secondly, because Michigan lost her only .300 hitters in center-fielder Charles Pink and left-fielder Fred Trosko. Although Michigan ended in fifth place in the Big Ten last year, the Wolverines lost many excellent chances of taking first place due to the failure of the team to take the close games, and consequently lost nine contests by one run. The whole infield, composed of Captain-elect Bill Steppon, George Ruehle, Mike Sofiak, and Bud Cham- berlain returns intact, and after hav- ing functioned as a unit for a whole season, should provide the Varsity with one of the strongest inner cori- dans in many years. Utility-man Johnny Erpelding, sophomore Duane Pagel, a first baseman, and Wayne Christenson, a second baseman, will be on hand to press the regulars for their jobs. George Harms will back to handle the catching duties, backed up by Bob Westfall and Dick Wakefield, a chunky freshman who has shown a considerable amount of ability be- hind the plate. For the outfield berths, Fisher can call on veterans Davie Nelson and Don Holman. The third post will probably be filled by any one of the excess infield catching candidates who displays sufficient batting power. The pitching staff as usual will be Ray's chief problem. The graduation the all important starting roles to Lyle Bond and Mickey Stoddard. For Baseball Coach Says Michigan Infield Will Be Good Next Spring Squad Loses Pink And Trosko Through Graduation; Bill Steppon, Second Sacker, Will Captain Nine of Jack berry and Russ Dobson leaves the remainder of the Wolverine moundstaff the Michigan mentor will have a dozen promising hurlers to chose from Freshman Ed Pasourek and Cliff Wise have displayed suffic- ient ability to rate serious consid- eration for first string mound berths. Among other letter winners return- ing in the fall are Mase Gould, Les Veigel, Tommy Netherton as well as Paul Goldsmith who had to forego baseball this year due to an injured arm. University Course Is Long,_Difficult The University of Michigan's 18- hole golf course, laid out over the beautiful hills south of Ann Arbor, leaves very little to be desired by the golfer who likes his game the interesting way. the course, which was designed by the same architect who remodeled Scotland's famous St. Andrews has long well-watered fairways which are trapped generously. The greens are the largest in this district, and their fast rolling surfaces call for the greatest putting skill. Construction was started on the course 11 years ago, and was com- pleted two years later at a dost of $365,000. The course is watered by springs under the Stadium situated across Stadium Boulevard. a/ F- Pens - Typewriters - Supplies ''Writers Trade With Riders" RIDE R'S 302South State St. -__-_- - - - I back with any strength.

Relief in the backfield . . . well, don't worry, we have some of that too. Rugged George Ceithaml, the quarterback, for example. The 185 pound Chicago lad was awarded the Chicago Alumni award for attitude, progress and promise during the spring drills. Bob Zimmerman, who saw considerable action last campaign at the fullback slot, will also be back for more. Except for the tackle posts, the line seems well fortified. At the ends, Crisler has Ed Frutig and Joe Rogers, as well as Ed Czak and Whitey Frau- mann, all returning as capable veterans. At the guards, Bill Melzow, Milo Supkup, Ralph Fritz and sophomore Bob Kolesar, a powerful looking pros- pect with a trick knee, will all be on hand. Bob Ingalls will take over Archie Kodros' center p5osition. And even at the tackles, considered the probable weak points in the Wolverine line, Rueben Kelto, Rudy Sengel, the gigantic sophomore, Al Wistert, a brother of Michigan's former great Whitey Wistert, and Bob Flora are nothing to exhibit your hay fever at., But Michigan needs plenty of power to hold its own this campaign. That's mainly due to schedule which you'd have to go a long way to call delightful. Last year, we chucgled at the dawn of the season. "Michigan has its tough games every other week," we bragged, "and breathers in between." A national championship was supposed in the bag. But one of the so-called "breathers" tripped us up . . . that fateful Illinois get- together . . . and the summer championship was just so much propa- ganda.' For that reason alone, we're going to be a little more careful this term. We reject all offers for a summer crown for the Wolverines. Frankly, we look ahead to a hard fought campaign, especially since we no longer have Chicago around to build up our batting average.

Slaughter was picked as an All- American guard, Michigan football stars have gained more berths on All-American teams than£ any other school in the Big Ten. Leading its Western Conference rivals, 12 Wolverines have been chos- en for the honor, while the Minne- oota Gophers are second with ten candidates. Michigan went ahead in the beginning and by 1928 the Wol- verines had been picked six times to three for the Gophers. During this period Bennie Osterbann was chosen three times and Ben Friedman and Otto Pommerening once each in ad- dition to Slaughter. Although easing up its pace for the next ten years, Michigan still held its own against Minnesota, coming out in the lead ten to six. From 1929 to 1933, Doc Morrison, Harry New- man, Chuck Bernard, and Whitey Wistert were chosen from Wolver- ine squads while the Gophers placed Frank Larson, Coach Clarence Munn, and ,the sensational Bronko Nagur- ski." In, the dog days from 1934 to 1937 the Gophers made rapid strides and tied with the slumping Wolverines.
