AN ULTRA-HIGH-ENERGY par-

Brookhaven National Laboratory
with completion expected by 1960.
Cost of design and construction
Is estimated at 20 million dollars.
The Atomic Energy Commission
announced that the new machine,
an alternating gradient synchro-
ton, is designed to produce beams
of protons of energies ranging up
to 25 billion electron volts.

Daily Sports Editor
THE FORTUNES of aspiring -
young Michigan football play-
ers can rise or fall a long way +
in three short years.
About this time three years o
The Daily printed a story con
ing the freshman football t
which Don Robinson called "the
best in several seasons." Robin-
son, now backfield coach but at
that time junior varsity coach,
listed 21 first-year men consid-
ered to have varsity potential.
Today those freshmen are the
seniors about whom the current
Wolverine grid squad supposedly
should be molded-yet of the 21
mentioned then only seven are
now listed on the roster and just
three of those have played regu-
larly.
In addition, two of the main-
stays of the '54 team, plus eight
other seniors on the roster, weren't
even mentioned three years ago.
Five guards were listed, but ap-
parently not considered worthy of
comment was Ted Cachey, cap-
tain and one of the sparkplugs
of this year's team.
Equally significant by its ab-
sence was the name of Dan Cline,
who has since become Coach Ben-
nie Oosterbaan's top tailback and
safety man.
T HERE ARE really just two
Wolverines who could today be
described in the same way as they
were three years ago-Fred Baer
and Ed Hickey.
Hickey was called "a fine run-
ner and pass receiver," which he
still is since he fills in at wingback
for the ailing Tony Branoff,
Baer was given a particularly
apt quote: "One of the finest com-
petitors among the first-year men
is Fred Baer, a hard-driving full-
)ack from Chicago Fenwick. Pos-
sessing a great desire to win, the
very fast, 180-pounder plays de-
fensive halfback as well as offen-
sive fullback."
Only on the defensive halfback
part (he backs up the line) has
Baer failed to make the descrip-
tion good.
BUT ELSEWHERE three years
has seen a lot happen. Art
Walker was mentioned simply in
a list of "other linemen" Since
his sophomore year he could more
aptly be called "the lineman."
Jim Bates was listed as a top
end prospect. A year later he
switched to center where only a
series of injuries have kept him
from becoming one of Michigan's
great pivotmen and linebackers.
Dune McDonald received top
billing as "the pitching quarter-
back from Flint Northern." a
passing prowess remains un
tioned but for four years he
had to take a back seat to others
who could more capably fulfill
the other requirements of a single-
wing quarterback.
The other two men who were
mentioned as freshmen and are /
still wearing football togs are
tackle Joe Shomsky and end John
Veselenak, each of whom has been
relegated to a reserve role.
Veselenak won his letter during
the two-platoon days, but his de-
fensive ability hasn't paid off with
regular berth since the return
to the single platoon system,
THE TWO most highly touted
freshman tailbacks were Don
Eaddy, who dropped football to
concentrate on baseball and bas-
ketball, and Don Evans, who has
since left school.
A couple of other then-promis-
ing backs, Don Becker and Bill
Barlow, are no longer on the local
sports scene.
Dean Ludwig and Glen Bowers
looked to be the top prospects at
center, but neither of them cur-
rently wears the Maize and Blue.
Bowers has dropped out of school.
but it was an injury that side-
lined Ludwig.
