M MAY LOSE KOLESAR
Heavy Studies
Cut His Time
For Practice
BY BOB MURPHY

ANN ARBOR, Oct. 13.-There
was a strong possibility today that
Bob Kolesar. star guard, may be
forced to quit the Michigan foot
ball team due to the press of
studies.
Kolesar is in the pre-medical
school. He is taking a full course
and since the start of the football
season he has been unable to prac-
tice with the squad until late in
the afternoon.
1t is understood that Kolesar
has been informed that he will not
be allowed TO make out of town
trips if he continues with his pre-
med studies.
Also. it is known that the big
fellow, who came to Michigan from
John Adams High, Cleveland, o.,
would be grabbed Immediately by
the draft If he returns 10 the lit
erary course. which he took his
freshman, sophomore and junior
years.
Loss of Kolesar will be a crush
ing blow to Michigan's chances as
coach Fritz Crisler already is
greatly handicapped by lack of ca
pable line reserves.
A definite decision on Kolesar's
status is due TO be reached today.
ut looks as II Saturdays
game with Northwestern may be
my last" Kolesar said when
contacted last night. "T'II know
the verdict before nightfall
