For Season

ANN ARBOR, Mich. ~ Almost

squad outdoor workouts practically every day, is a major reason
for optimism in the Wolverine
camp this spring.

~We definitely are iin better

we were a year ago,~ said Coach
Don Lund. ~Last year we had no
chance to work outdoors before
going~ to Arizona and opening an
ll-game schedule. This early
start should help us a great deal:

The Wolverine coach also has

pitching,staffeatcengthened with
a pair of'igtreng ~sophomores in
action. Six hurlers -have~ been
rounding into form in a way that
bodes ~well for the Wolverines.

Mike Joyce, a tall husky righthander frgom Royal Oak, and
Fritz Fisher, a smart-looking
southpaw from Adrian, are among
chief reasons for Lund~s enthusiasm. This pair of sophomores,
coupled with veterans John Keer,
Bob Marcereau and Jon Brefeld,
and anether newcomer, Franz
Neubrecht of Berkley, all are
throwing. well. Right-hander Denny McGinn, tall righthanded veteran, also may be ready in time,
although..a heavy- scholastic load
has cut down his practice time.

To handle the pitching staff,
Lund -has- Captain Dick Syring
and newcomer Bill Freehan avail
able for catching duty. The latter,
however, probably will handle
first base part of the time. With

husky Royal Oak athlete, Dick
Honig of Farmington, will be at

at second. Only Joe Merullo, junior letterman, will hold over from
last. season. Merullo again will be
at third base.

Eddie Hood of Detroit oni John
Halstead, both vetérans, are available for outfield duty while such
interesting newcomers as Jim
