Kerby is slated to hold down short,
while Preuit is likely to be seen at

gomery will start baseball practice
in earnest-next week In preparation
for the hard schedule that faces
them. The Poets have many stars of

plete, finds Simpson High school al

When Michigan returned to the
conference, basketball was a major
sport. The Wolverines, in their first
season, did not win a game in the

years were not much stronger. The
next two years. however, Michigan
got into basketball in earnest and the
response in attendance was surpris-
irg.
The Wolverines gymnasium, 10
years ago considered one of the finest
in the country, was entirely too small
to accommodate the crowds that
wanted to see the speedy and some
times rough indor game. The new

situation.
