MICHIGAN COACHES
MUST HUNT men.
Acquisitions Of Past Years Get
Thru at the Wolverine Uni
versity.

Ann Arbor June 21.-Now that the athletic
season for the University Of Michigan is over
thoughts naturally turn to looking forward to the
year 19O56, and sizing up what will be left
as nucleus or founda ton for the various de-
partments of athletes Michigan will not lose
very many in numbers from the teams, but the
quality that will, quit by graduation or by the
four years. rule is among the top notchers. The
following will bid goodby to college athletics
Football-Captain Heston, Carter and Ham,
mond.
Track-Captain Rebstock, Stone, Wait and
Minor.
Baseball-Captain Campbell De Pree Hatch.
Tennis-McNeil.
Golf-Captain Kidston and Bloomfield.
The places Of Heston, Carter and Hammond in
football will be hard to fill. If Heston had been
playing on an ordinary college team his depar-
ture from amateur athletics would be set down
for loss to the whole team, as he is host in
himself. Michigan, any other university,
will not find recruit who can fill his shoes.
Yost says: 'Ihere is only Heston born in
century.
Gopher Bested Him.
And then "Babe'' Carter's disappearance from
the lineup will leave big gap. to be filed
Babe is sturdy old guard, who never let
anybody get thru him when it counted except
once That was in the Michigan Minnesota game
In 1902, when Captain Flynn of the gophers went
thru, and grabbing the ball from Boss Weeks
hands, ran for touchdown. Carter had been
coached as guard to allow the heavy opposite
guard to go thru, when the opponents formed for
q punt, while he himself would have it as his
DUTY to rough 1t with the man kicking the ball
SO that the punter could not run and put it on

heavy guard, and when 'Babe'' let him thru the
captain of the gophers sprinted without hin
drance to Weeks, who was about to receive the
leather. Flynn did not that afternoon, as
Babe" paid particular attention to him after
that.
Good Runners Leave.
The men whom Keene Fitzpatrick will lose are
good, steady runners on the cinders. While not
one OF the quartet is a man who has ever been
counted on as certain first place man in a
conference meet, Rebstock, Stone and Wait are
Fellows who were always reckoned on to pick
up the struggling points. Rebstock is good
quarter-miler and fine captain, as he sets a
good example Of faithful work. Stone and Wait
nave won their spurs mile relay runners in
the national championship meets. Minor has
never accomplished much outside Of crosscountry
running, but has been Of great help as pace
maker.
Baseball Losses.
In baseball Captain Campbell's loss will be a
severe one. This clever little shortstop has
played the game of his life this year. both in the
field and at bat. Jim De Pree the first base-

costly at times. He will coach a southern college
