r°IIE MICHIGAN DAUY VALE THREE TIlE MICH1C~AN DAIlY S PAGE T~tE~ First Defensive Practice Held By Wolverine Football Squad' Team To Pro able Play Four Intra-Squad Contests; Starters Narrow to Field of 26 By MARY LU HEATH Defensive drills claimed first place on the docket of Michigan gridiron business yesterday as the Wolverine "first string" Blue team switched 'from the offense for the first time this summer in a late afternoon scrim- mage. Head Coach H. 0. (Fritz) Crisler appeared satisfied with the team's showing during the first two and a half weeks of practice, stating that the squad had made considerable progress since the summer drills have started. "Although the team is very green ate this point, and will be jumpy in its first games next fall," he said, "it will improve as game conditions provide more chance to gain experience." Crisler announced a four-game intra-squad schedule during August and September which will give the team a chance to practice in the Stadium before the season curtain- raiser with Great Lakes here Sep- tember 15. These games, which will be open to the public, will take place Aug. 4 and 11 and Sept. 1 and 8.r Comparing the present grid hope- fuls with last year's crop, Crisler pointed out that as a team, the '45 aggregation is slower and less exper- ienced than last summer's outfit. He added, however, that this year will see a colorful, scrappy eleven, num- bering among its members several 17-year olds, take the field for Mich- igan. The only man now sure of a berth is Capt. Joe Ponsetto, who will play quarterback this year, Crisler said. The ten remaining starters will be picked from about 26 men who comprise the first and second string squads now, he continued. At present, these two teams are being shifted into first string play at will, as the coaches look the candidates over at differ- ent positions. Line positions changed hands fre- quently in yesterday's defensive drill, with John Lintol, veteran center, shifting to left tackle for the first time this year. Another letterwinner at center, Harry Watts, held down his regular spot. Lack Sufficient Softball Entries For IM Leaguel Few Sign for Tennis Summer Competition Intra-Mural softball entries have not come in sufficient quantities to warrant a league this summer Coach Stackhouse announced Monday. At that time there had been only two teams entered in the league. Those teams were a Navy team from Lloyd House in the West Quad and Sigma Alpha Mu, a fraternity team. The golf and tennis entries show equally poor records. As of Monday, there had been only one entry in the tennis competition and two entries in the golf tournament. "This number of entries does not warrant the hold- ing of either tournament," Stackhouse said. Student Body Dormant "The athletic department is not trying to force softball, golf and ten- nis competition on the student body, but is willing to cooperate with the students if they want such activities. At this time it does not seem that they want them. More interest must be shown if there is to be any I-Mj program this summer." All teams and persons desiring to enter any of the three sports com- petitions must contact Coach Weir by mail at the Intra-Mural Sports Building as soon as possible."
