Admittedly the Wolverines must be classed as somewhat of a question mark, yet several things tend to make an encouraging picture. The first of these is the record of Coach Weir. In the short half dozen years he has reigned the Wolverines have risen from nowhere to a position equal to that of Northwestern and Chicago, the perennial powers in the Confer- ence. In the past two seasons Michi- gan has taken the title and the run- ner-up position.. Twelve Straight In addition to Johnson who last sefason set one of the most phenom- enal individual records in Maize and Blue history by winning twelve straight matches before his streak of 2 was ended at the Conferences, Coach Weir will have back letterman Fed Wellington and one of the best freshman teams in University his- tdry. Therein lies the second big rea- sqn for hoping that the Wolverines con maintain their present position in the Conference. Wellington, thiough he didn't see much action last sqason and had to take a back seat to six outstanding players should ecme into his own this season with a chance to play regularly. Of the freshmen Bill Honey, Bill Mikulich, aid Gerry Mullahey stand out and should give opponents plenty of trouble. Irish Strong Whether they can match the rec- ord of last year's great team is doubtful. In twelve dual matches last season the Wolverines lost once and then only to one of the finest teams Notre Dame has ever placed on the courts. Though they had to be satis- fied with a tie with Chicago for sec- and at the Conference meet, the Wolyerines returned with four indi4- vidual titles, Co-captain Wayne Stil- le, Gerry Schaflander, Tom Gamon, and the number three doubles duo of Schaflander-Johnson all winning in their brackets. Johnson, with two brilliant seasons behind him just missed copping his second title at the six spot when a hard-smashing Wild- cat unknown, Don Burst, and a half gale combined to put him out of the tournament in the first round. Jinx, with .speed, cannyness, and a fighting spirit all within his five- foot-five frame is determined to make up for that loss this season and help bring back the Big Ten trophy to Ann Arbor. Those who know the 'Gringo won't be too surprised if he does lead his team to victory once again.

The enthiusiastic way in which the men have taken part is heart warming to the coaches who are in charge of the program. Leroy Weir one of the staff has nothing but praise to offer in behalf of the new setup. When asked his opinion he stated. "It's one of the best things that ever hit the Univers- ity of Michigan."

By WALT KLEE The departure of the Wolverine wrestling coach, Cliff Keen, after 17 years service as the mentor of Michi- gan wrestling teams, leaves the Ath- letic Department with an as yet un- solved problem. In a recent inter- view, Athletic Director Fritz Crisler said, "Nothing definite has yet been done to fill the vacancy, but you may, rest assured that we will find a cap-, able man to take the place of Coach Keen, while he is serving in the Navy." In spite of the departure of their coach at the end of" the season, Michigan's matmen finished the sea- son in a more than creditable fash- ion under the apt tutelage of Ray Courtright, coach of the golf team. Second in Conference The team finished in a tie with Illinois for second place in the Big Ten finals and finished fourth be- hind a strong Oklahoma A&M in the National Tourney. The team lost but four lettermen to graduation including last year's captain, Jim Galles. The others who received their diplomas this June are Herb Barnett, at 135 pounds, Morris Anderson, at 128 pounds, and Eddie White, in the 135 pound class. Anderson was ineligible the second semester due to scholastic difficul- ties. The personnel of next year's grap-, pling squad is very indefinite. Marv Becker, at 155 pounds, and Ray Deane, 136 pounds, have applied for entrance in Uncle Sam's Air Forces, although it is uncertain when they intend to enter. Deane took a second place in the Big Ten tournament, when he lost by a referee's decision after two overtime periods. Becker had passed his peak after a fine rec- ord in dual meet competition and did not live up to expectations in the two tourneys. Tom Coffield has said that he wanted to enlist in the Navy, but as yet has done nothing about it. Five Lettermen Return Unless the draft interferes there will be five returning lettermen. Out- standing among these is Manley Johnson, who won the Big Ten title in the 145 pound class and fnished second in the Nationals. Johnson is expected to attain }new peaks during next year's season. Big Al -Wistert and Johnny Greene, both heavyweights, will also be around next year. Wistert improved greatly during the last part of the season and is a possibility to cop both Big Ten and National laurels. He took fourth place in the Big Ten matches.

Stagg was apparently impressed with Crisler's bumpability, because as he rushed onto the field again he shot out at the still sprawl- ing youth, "Why aren't you out for football?" This was a new idea to Crisler but he reported the next afternoon for freshman practice. He didn't care much for it and after one practice he quit. However, in a few days he was back and soon became a regular freshman end. During his freshman year the World War interfered and he left for Officers Training Camp. Back From War When he returned to Chicago in 1919 his career as an athlete had re- ally begun. He played guard on the basketball team in their second con- ference game, and he never missed a single conference game for the rest of his basketball career, which in- cluded the captaincy in 1921 and membership on the All -Conference teams of 1920 and 21. He also played an excellent game of football winning places on the All- West and Eckersall's All-American elevens. Likewise he played baseball for three years, pitching with the 1920 nine which made a trip to Japan. Almost Phi Beta:Kappa *His studies did not suffer with his wide athletic program, indeed, he I missed Phi Beta Kappa by one point which was deducted from his honor points because of the fact that he had cut chapel too many times. After graduation, Crisler helped Stagg, serving as assistant football, baseball and basketball coach. In 1925 he became head baseball coach and Assistant Director of Athletics. Next he went to Minnesota as foot- ball coach, and shortly afterwards became Director of Athletics. free style events, Mann remarks that Jack could "threaten every event in the book". So, Michigan fans will keep their eyes on this rangy lad dur- ing his last year of competition. Jim Skinner,. the Wolberine breast- stroker of national fame, returns for his last year of competition. Swim- ming in the National Collegiates last March, Jim took the 220 yard event setting a new record for the Harvard pool of 2:37.7. Free stylers will be plentiful this season with the return of many good sophomore swimmers. The "up and' coming" distance man, Walt Stewart, proved to have what it takes for Var- sity competition despite a crude stroke. Walt was one of the most consistent tankers on the squad and held down many sure points in the gruelling "440". Others returning are Perry Trytten, Lou Kivi, Bruce Al- len, and Bob West. Kivi, a quiet lad, swam the century for the Wolverines but due to his unassuming nature he remained in the background amongst the more colorful men on the team. His performances, however, stamp him as a leading contender for the 100 yard free style event this coming year.
