Davidson, '17, fund director. The MSC Fund was established a year ago for the purpose of raising money to support college activities, particularly re search and scholarships, not adequately financed in the budget. Contributions to the program come from alumni, friends of the college, corporations, and wills and bequests, Davidson said. Prominent Alumni Named The board of trustees is composed of seven prominent MSC alumni. They are: '14, Grosse Pointe; Lewis A. Smith, Harold H. Gasser, '25, Birmingham; Claud Erickson, '22, Lansing; John J. Korney, '31, Detroit; Norton W. Mogge, '14, Los Angeles, Calif.; Mrs. Regina Gabriel Frisbie, '35; and Karl H. Mc- Donel, '16, East Lansing. During the first two months of exist ence, the board of trustees awarded an Emeritus Research Professorship grant to retired Dean Ralph C. Huston and four-year scholarships to seven students. Scholarships Awarded Receiving scholarships valued at ap proximately $500 were: Philip Johnson, Bay City; Robert Pettys, Newtonville, MSC "Alumni Hews" Program Now Carried by Six Stations The Michigan State College "Alumni News" program, which returned recently to the air waves over the college station WKAR, has expanded its listening area. The weekly program is now heard over the Paul Bunyan network, a Michigan regional hookup which includes WTCM, Traverse City; WATT, Cadillac; WATZ, Alpena; WMBN, Petoskey; and WATC, Gaylord. Scheduled time for the broadcasts on the Paul Bunyan network is 1:30 p.m. each Saturday. WKAR will continue to broadcast the show at 1:30 p.m. Sunday, according to John McGoff, '50, program director. It is hoped that the "Alumni News" program will continue its listening area to include all of the Upper Peninsula, McGoff said. to expand Vol. 56—No. 1 Mass.; Jack Wingerden, Hastings; Gwen Forsman, Pontiac; Helen Takacs, Melvin; Lillion Goodwin, Flint; and Joan Rexford, Grosse Pointe. All are freshmen at MSC except Miss Goodwin. MSC Will Publish Ag Dictionary in 1955 Tentative plans for a dictionary of agriculture to be published in Michigan State College's centennial year, 1955, have been made by an editorial board of college staff members headed by John N. Winburne of the Department of Writ ten and Spoken English. Supported by the All College Research Committee and the Michigan Agricul tural Experiment Station, the dictionary will be published by the Michigan State College Press. Great Need Cited Prof. Winburne first became aware of the great need for such a publication in his work with foreign students at MSC. Adequate dictionaries covering other sciences existed; for agriculture there were only outdated and incomplete books, some published as early as 1797. "As the leading country in agricul tural research, development, and educa tion, American farm jargon has assumed not only domestic but also international importance," Winburne states. Both foreigners and city-bred agricul tural students are often puzzled by such terms as middle-buster, common-place spring tooth harrow, and riding cultiva tor, he points out. Want Strictly Ag Terms As general editor of the volume, Win burne has begun the task of gathering agricultural terms from all parts of the nation. Implement catalogues, books, agricultural bulletins and other sources will be studied to find words for inclu sion in the dictionary. Citing the complexity of the job of gathering words, Winburne says, "Terms related only to agriculture will be used. For example, 'fence' has its agricultural implications, but it may also imply a certain kind of sword play—such a mean ing will not be included in the diction ary." R E C O RD T HE A L V IE L. S M I T H, Editor Program of Off-Campus Courses Begins at MSC Dr. Harold J. Dillon, a leading national educator, has been named head of an ac celerated program of off-campus courses to be offered by the Continuing Educa tion Service of Michigan State College.

Dr. Dillon was formerly a specialist in educational problems for the National Child Labor Commission, and taught at Michigan State, New York University and Syracuse University. He received his bachelor's and master's degrees from Boston University and his Ph.D. from Yale University. National and World Convos Will Attract 14,500 to MSC An estimated 14,500 people will come to the Michigan State campus during the summer of 1951 for national and world conferences, according to Russell J. Kleis of the MSC Continuing Educa tion Service. The organizations and number of peo ple expected are: International Luther League, 4,000; Boy Scout Executive Council, 3,500; American Society for Engineering Education, 2,500; National Home Demonstration Council, 2,000; Na tional Farm Bureau Training School, 2,000; National Future Homemakers Association Leadership Training School, 350; and Agricultural Marketing Work shop, 200.

The day may well be at hand when there will be a revolution in teaching methods, which have not changed much since the days of Socrates." MSC's Ag Engineering Given Top Recognition National a c c r e d i t a t i on h as been awarded the Department of Agricultural Engineering at Michigan State College. Only Six in U.S. MSC's agricultural engineering depart ment is believed to be the sixth in the U.S. so recognized by the Engineering Council for Professional Development, according to Prof. Arthur W. Far rall, department head. The Council includes all the engineer m a j or ing societies of the U.S., and is the official accred- i t i ng body f or A m e r i c an engi neering schools. Farrall Prof. F a r r a ll said that the examining committee was especially impressed with physical facili ties for teaching agricultural engineer ing, which members called "about the best in the nation." The committee also commended the department for its out standing teaching staff and graduate and research programs. Research Cited recent Among the most research developments drawing praise from the inspection committee were the mechaniz ation of sugar beet culture, the frost machine, rural electrification improve ments and other projects, Prof. Farrall said. An editorial in the Lansing State Journal said: to congratulate "We are happy the college upon this achievement as well as upon the splendid showing of our favorite college football team. It's grati fying evidence that academic progress at East Lansing is not being neglected in favor of athletic progress and of the fact that MSC's athletic program has not been permitted to impair the college's ability to fulfill its primary purpose as a great and growing institution of higher learning." Graduate Enrollment Up Graduate enrollment at Michigan State College jumped more than 10 percent this fall. The official report of Registrar Robert S. Linton showed an increase in gradu ate students from 1,412 last year to 1,579 this fall. The rise in the number of graduate students came in spite of a general decrease in college population. This fall's enrollment was 14,993 com pared to 16,243 last fall.

The sys tem will link several campus buildings through the central control room. to make public MSC has already applied for one of Michigan's unusued TV channels, and should a channel be assigned and per mission telecasts be granted, the present equipment will be augmented by a transmitter, Denison said. Meanwhile, sending and receiving points will be linked by wire, and the campus station will be used as a laboratory for teaching and research only. To Test Teaching Value Engineers, speech, radio, and dramatics students will use the studio and control room facilities for laboratory work in the technical and production aspects of TV. The system will be used to deter mine the value of television as a teaching aid. than pay for The $100,000 video investment is ex to more itself pected through teaching, research, and exten sion—extension being developed more fully when the college receives an out side channel for state-wide broadcasts, Denison said. Meanwhile, movie films will be used extensively for cff-campus tele casts by commercial stations. Though costs are great, officials believe the capacity of television to spread infor mation to more people simultaneously may actually relieve the financial plight of educational institutions. Even without a transmitter, the poten tialities of campus TV are almost un limited. MSC's equipment will make possible mass student participation in laboratory lectures, and experiments, demonstrations, before seen only by a few at a time. May Aid Financially The budget implications of educational television, both on and off campus, are summarized by President Hannah as follows: "Educational television may well be the answer to some of the problems of Turning to another phase of the tele vision picture, MSC has taken a leading role in the fight for allocation of a speci fied number of TV channels by the Fed eral Communications Commission to educational institutions. Educational Channels Urged In December President Hannah, chair man of the executive committee of the American Association of Land-Grant Colleges and Universities, appeared be fore the FCC to ask that educational institutions be given their fair share of television channels. Knowing the unlimited possibilities of campus TV, it is difficult to predict what could be done when educational television is channeled throughout the state and to all parts of the nation. Through a college TV station, with the cooperation of commercial stations, it will be possible for television population of Michigan to see how to make a dress, and how to cull poultry flocks, or to sit in on a college lecture or concert. the Gifts and Grants Aid MSC's Research Work Research work at Michigan State Col lege received further impetus this fall through approximately $50,000 given for new and continuing projects. Navy Study Begins The largest grant was $6,000, pro viding for research ©n preparation of a special chemical the Bureau of for Ordnance, U.S. Navy. The National Dairy Council of Chicago gave $3,171 to be used by the Depart ment of Foods and Nutrition for a study of the nutritional status of women. Also included among the gifts and grants received by the State Board of Agriculture during October and Novem ber were two grants for $2,500 each. One, from the Michigan Certified Hy brid Seed Corn Producers Association of East Lansing, will finance the develop ment and testing of new corn hybrids by the Department of Farm Crops. The other provides for the study ©f sanita tion in design of mechanical dishwashing machines by the Department of Bac teriology and Public Health. 356378 J A N U A RY 1 5, 1 9 51 . . .. 3 THE A F F A I RS OF S T A TE A New Term Michigan State officials, with a wary eye on world developments, welcomed an from estimated 14,500 students back Christmas vacation Jan. 2. Registration for the winter term was held Jan. 2-4, and classes began Jan. 5. Students had enjoyed an 18-day vacation, themselves with but soon reacquainted the routine of college life. A total of 567 Michigan State students wound up their college careers during the fall quarter, which ended Dec. 15. Gov. G. Mennen Williams spoke to the graduates at informal ceremonies Dec. 12 in the Michigan State College Union. Included among the audience were 117 candidates for advanced degrees and 450 who received bachelor's degrees. These graduates will also be eligible to par ticipate in the college's June Commence ment program, according to Registrar Robert S. Linton. Eighty-two students also completed agricultural training courses Dec. 15, according to Short Course Director Ralph W. Tenny. Students were presented certificates for completion of one or two year courses in specific fields of agriculture. Bransdorfer Brothers do Those Bransdorfers sure get around. f or t he Last month, Steve Bransdorfer, Lan sing journalism senior, was named editor the Michigan State News, campus of d a i l y, winter term.

S. Bransdorfer m Well, there certainly aren't that many Bransdorfers—only three—but they have established somewhat of a record in MSC publications history. Arnold, '49, was business manager of the Spartan, humor magazine, during his senior year. Alfred, '50, served as editor of the Wolverine, college yearbook, dur ing the 1949-50 year.

TH E R E C O RD Beautiful Coeds Spartan students and alumni have known it for years, but it took an article in Parade magazine to show the nation that Michigan State is the college of beautiful coeds. A two-page feature article entitled, "Is Michigan State the College of Beautiful Women?" appeared in the Dec. 10 issue of the national news weekly. Band leader Woody Herman said: "This school has the most beautiful girls in the country." Bob Gail, a midwestern band really stunning." The article also carried rav ing testimonials from men of half a dozen other professions. leader, added: "They're IN THE LAND: Betty BEST Donahue, Saginaw 21 - year - old beauty, was one of the 15 coeds fea tured by Parade magazine Dec. 10 in a two-page article entitled, "Is Michigan State the College of Beau tiful Women?" campus activities, including the Diony- sians, Union Board, and just about every type of picture-taking that exists. The Bransdorfers have been somewhat of a post-war tradition around Michigan State, but the string will be broken next year when Steve graduates. MSC will have run out of Bransdorfers. Men in Home Ec Picking the man "most likely to suc ceed" was simple for fall graduates of Michigan State's School of Home Eco nomics. He had to be Kenneth W. Goodrich, Lansing, first male in the school's history to graduate with a major in home fur nishing and the only man graduated in home economics last fall. Upon graduation, Goodrich will join a select group of 10 men to receive B.S. degrees from the MSC School of Home Economics. in Though one of few male home econom ics graduates, Goodrich had plenty of masculine company the classrooms during his last year. More than 200 men are enrolled in home economics courses. Primarily a woman's field, home eco nomics is steadily being invaded by men, according the School of Home Economics. to Dean Marie Dye of Pictures of 15 comely Spartan coeds, highlighting the article, provided plenty of evidence that the boast holds a lot of water. Before the new year, the article had furor. created somewhat of a national All over the country, colleges were cry ing that it wasn't so. Michigan State students went smugly home for Christmas vacation. Parade had picked East Lansing for the story, and there wasn't a dissenter on the Spar tan campus. Student Campaigns Campaigns for a new journalism build ing and more colorful uniforms for the marching band have been launched by student groups at Michigan State Col lege. from The Journalism Council, composed of five professional representatives and honorary journalism organizations at MSC, has started a drive to bring "an adequate, permanent journalism build ing" to the campus, according to Prof. A. A. Applegate, council advisor and head of the Michigan State Department of Journalism. Alumni of the journalism department will be asked to write college and gov ernment officials pointing out the need for a new building and requesting neces sary funds. The Student Council's band committee has organized a similar plan. Committee members will write to alumni groups all over the world. They will ask for a "yes or no" answer to the question of whether the Spartan band should have new, different uniforms, ac cording to Richard Dougherty, Lansing graduate student, committee chairman. So far MSC coeds have not objected "too strenuously" to the male invasion of their domain, she added. After alumni and student opinion has take been polled, appropriate action, Dougherty said. the committee will T HE A F F A I RS OF S T A TE Faculty Affairs President John A. Hannah's appoint ment to two important educational and governmental posts headed the list of faculty achievements this fall. President Harry S. Truman named Dr. Hannah to the advisory board for the Point Four program of technical and scientific assistance to undeveloped areas of the world. Ten other top educational, business, scientific, agricultural and labor leaders are included on the board. the facilities and aid of Hannah's appointment stemmed from a letter he wrote two years ago offer ing the Association of Land-Grant Colleges and for Universities the foreign aid program. The ad visory board will map policies of l o n g - r a n ge t he i ts in p r o j e ct early days of or ganization. Hannah P r e s. H a n n ah also enhanced his growing s t a t u re as one of the na tion's leading educators when he was reelected chairman of the executive com mittee of the Association of Land-Grant Colleges and Universities. This marked the first time in the history of the associ ation that a college president had been chosen for two consecutive terms as head of the executive committee. Prof. Paul Bagwell, head of the MSC Department of Written and Spoken Eng lish, has been appointed chairman of a national advisory committee responsible for evaluating communications programs offered by U. S. military centers. Prof. Bagwell is one of seven national authori ties named to a joint committee of the American Council on Education and the U. S. Department of Defense to examine study courses at U. S. military centers. "Wild Hunter," first novel of English Prof. Kenneth C. Randall, has been chosen as the April 1951 selection of the Junior Literary Guild. The book, pri marily a children's story of hunting in Michigan forests, is being published by Franklin Watts, Inc., N. Y. Dr. Ralph C. Huston, former dean of graduate studies and professor of organic chemistry at Michigan State, has been given the $500 Emeritus Research Pro fessorship award by the Michigan State College Fund. Dr. Huston, who retired July 1, after 40 years on the MSC staff, is the first recipient of the award. He will use the grant to continue chemistry research. Dr. C. S. Bryan, dean of the School of Veterinary Medicine, was elected to honorary membership the Mexican Society of Veterinary Doctors for out standing contributions to the veterinary profession. in Prof. Ray Hatch, of the Institute of Counseling, Testing and Guidance, was reelected the Michigan Counselors Association at their annual meeting on the MSC campus. secretary of executive "J" School Selected Michigan State College's journalism department has been selected as a prov ing ground for an experimental program designed to train students for work in the classified advertising field. Sponsored by the Association of News paper Classified Advertising Managers, the program will feature lectures by prominent men in the field, and student participation in "internship" jobs in the Lansing area. The project got under way this fall, and will be continued dur ing 1951. "If the experiment proves satisfactory, the association will recommend the adop tion of a similar plan as a regular course for other colleges and universities throughout the nation," Gilbert Gillett, educational director of the national as sociation and director of the MSC project said. Gillett advertising is classified manager of the Flint, Mich., Journal. Prof. A. A. Applegate, head of the MSC Department of Journalism, ex plained that classified advertising is a field full of job opportunities for trained personnel, and one that has been over looked in the past.

Study Midwest Culture Eleven grants, totaling $3,771, have been awarded for research and writing in Midwestern culture by a projects Michigan State College committee ad ministering a $30,000 from the Rocke feller Foundation, New York. Nine of the recipients are Michigan State scholars. They are A. R. Gilpin and Norman Penlington, history of civil ization; W. H. Knowles, economics; R. M. Dorson, Richard Barton and J. A. Garraty, history; M. J. Segal, social sci and ence; George Charles Hampton, written and spoken English. Joyaux, French; Grants were also awarded to Mary Land, Cleveland Heights, O., and Prof. R. H. Pearce of Ohio State University. Miss Land received the largest grant of $1,000 for a double biography of Joshua Giddings and Ben Wade. Other grants varied from $100 supplementary awards to $471 for new projects. The grants to date account for $24,379 of the $30,000 set aside for the work by the Foundation. The entire amount must be spent and the studies completed by June 1952. The three-year writing and research project began in July, 1949. The awards were announced by Dean Lloyd C. Emmons, dean of the MSC School of Science and Arts and chairman of the project. the committee administering Dorm Rates Boosted Dormitory residents returning to Mich igan State for the winter term Jan. 2 found a "cost-of-living" increase on their room and board fare. Food rates for all dormitory residents was boosted $8 per term, and men stu dents received an extra $5 increase in room prices per quarter. Winter term room and board fare reads $188 for men, compared to $175 last year, and $193 for women, compared to last year's $185. College officials said that the increased rates were absolutely necessary because of rising costs for food and labor. Michigan State College during the past year has boosted wages of all college employees five cents per hour, in addi tion to reverting to a 40-hour week with no reduction in total pay. Basic pay for students has been raised 10 cents per hour, and food costs have continued to rise. College officials added, however, that dormitory rates at MSC are still lower than the average for other large Mid western universities.

More jobs than graduates is the lament of John F. Schlueter, '43, director of the MSC Placement Bureau. Nationwide Shortage A nationwide shortage of young tech nical graduates has brought industrial concerns to the college "crying for engi neers, chemists, physicists and men in related fields," he said. This is particularly true in respect to companies dealing with oil, automobiles and chemicals. Schlueter added that this situation will become more acute under the new "state of emergency" program of the U. S. Salaries Increase "At MSC we will be fortunate to fill one-fourth of these positions available between now and April," he added. Jobs in this classification pay fresh college graduates about $275-$325 a month as starting salary, which represents a 5-10 percent increase over last year. Schlueter attributes the situation to several factors. Included are the com plete absorption of the 1950 college class by industry; increased need for technical Permanent Endowment Sought for Hort Lectures Horticultural graduates of Michigan State College are sponsoring a nation wide campaign to establish the "Harry J.

"It all adds up to the fact that a top graduate of engineering, chemistry, phys ics and related fields in the next few years will find many bidders for his tal ents," Schlueter said. Police Ad Department Secures Lie Detector A new wrinkle has been added at Michigan State College in higher edu cation's traditional "quest for truth." It is a lie detector! One of Few in Nation A Keeler Polygraph, one of the few in the nation to be used for college in struction and investigation purposes, is now being used by the MSC Department of Police Administration. The new machine came complete with a trained operator, Detective Charles J. Becker of the MSC police department, who recently completed a six-week course in polygraph operation and maintenance. Before a polygraph is sold, a represen tative of the purchaser must complete the course at the Leonarde Keeler In stitute of Lie Detection, Chicago, 111. The polygraph is being used by the MSC Department of Police Administra tion to "acquaint students with its use in criminal investigation, and as an aid in actual investigation of incidents in volving campus police," according to Prof, Arthur Brandstatter, head of the department. May Clear Accused "Used only with the permission of the individual, the polygraph will perform at MSC to clear persons of suspicion or to determine whether they have been wrongly accused," he said. Det. Becker will assist in demonstrat ing the machine for teaching purposes, but students will not operate, or learn to operate the polygraph. Serves 36 Years re-appointed A. R.

Gunderson, who received his B.S. de gree from Augustana College, Rock Island, 111., took advanced work at Michigan State in 1918. He has served since that time in Gogebic county, first as 4-H club agent, and since 1919 as county agricultural agent. Served in Ogemaw, Bay Counties McCarthy, who received his B.S. from MSC in 1915, served as county agent in Ogemaw county 1919-1927, and in Bay county from 1927 until his retirement Jan. 1. McCarthy received the Distinguished Service Award of the National County Agricultural Agents' Association in 1945, and Gunderson was given the same honor in 1947. Michigan State Asks For Modern University $4,250,000 Library Greenaway, '34, Heads Restaurant Department Michigan State College has requested the an appropriation of $4,250,000 by State Legislature for the construction of a new library building, according to Dr. William H. Combs, dean of the All- College Division under which the library is administrated. Designed after extensive research in to the library needs of MSC, final plans are being completed with funds advanced by the federal government. To Accommodate 3,000 The new four-and-a-half story build ing will accommodate 3,000 students at one time, Dean Combs said. Present facilities accommodate, at the maximum, 1,750 students. The library will be located southwest of and across the drive from Beaumont Tower, next to Beal Garfield Botanical Gardens. The site and plans allow for future expansion of the library on two sides. replace The new structure—gross floor area, 241,859, square feet—will the general library, library annex (old Phys inefficient ics Building), and a costly, in other libraries system of branch campus buildings. The general library was built in 1928 to provide facilities for a student enrollment of about 3,000. Present Facilities Poor Even though present library facilities have been utilized to the fullest, Michi gan State has only 56.6 per cent of the seating capacity necessary for effective its 15,000 stu study and research for dents, Combs said. In addition to sufficient seating capa city for present and future enrollments, the new library will provide space to reading shelve 1,000,000 volumes rooms and large stack areas. This book in Chester L. Brewer Honored By University of Missouri Chester L. Brewer, Michigan State athletic director for 12 years during the period from 1903 to 1921, was honored the University of by his alma mater, Missouri, as part of Homecoming fes tivities Nov. 23. A large oil painting of Brewer was formally presented to university officials for permanent hanging in Brewer Field- house. Brewer, an outstanding athlete at the University of Missouri, was director of intercollegiate athletics at MSC 1903-10, to 1917-18, and 1919-22. He returned direct athletics at the University of Missouri from 1923 to 1935, and has re mained on the physical education staff. space will be adequate for some to come, Combs said. time In planning the library, college offi cials considered the needs of graduate and undergraduate students and faculty members. More than 100 faculty rooms will be available for research work, 200 cubicles will be provided for graduate students, and a specially-equipped read ing room will be available to blind stu dents. Seven open-shelf reading rooms, each containing in particular study areas, are also included in the plans. These are designed to give to books. students more direct access reference material post-war Studied Other Libraries So that the library would be as com to most plete as possible, visitations major libraries university were made by architects, Dr. Combs and Jackson E.

Three Classes a Month To do the job right, more than 40 wives have enrolled in a new special program of 19 evening classes offered by the vet erinary school at Michigan State. Three Tuesday nights a month, "Mrs. Veterinary Doctor" turns the dishes and kids over to "hubby" and goes to hear lectures from faculty members and take the animal barns, veterinary tours of hospital, and other vet departments. Clark Heads Course The course is designed to give the wives some scientific fundamentals of veterinary medicine, and also point out the right path to becoming profession- wise sidekicks for vet doctor husbands. Guiding forces behind the new pro gram are Dr. Chester F.

The auxiliary is composed of wives of upper- cless veterinary students. from Will Give Right Answers The series contains lectures on topics "Feeding and Care of ranging Dogs" to "Fluoroscopy and Radiology."

J A N U A RY 1 5, 1 9 51 7 A New Michigan Sfate Team Looks Sharp By BUD ERICKSON, '48 New head coach Pete Newell served early notice on Michigan State's 1950-51 basketball opponents that the Spartans would refuse to play the doormat role again this year. Last season the team won only four games out of 22, but under Newell it started with a rush, taking three straight from Wayne, 51-50; Detroit, 45-31, and Marquette, 74-42. Steffen, Stauffer Star Newell, the coach of the University of San Francisco team that won the 1948-49 Invita National tional title, had only one regular r e t u r n i ng from last season, Capt.

Stauffer in Meantime, Ray Steffen, a 6'4" letter- winner, took over the pivot duties and did well. He tallied 15 points as the Spartans dumped Wayne 51-50 and 12 points in a 45-31 win over Detroit. Bill Bower and Leif Carlson performed at forwards and guards. Jim Snodgrass the and Gordon Stauffer starting quintet. Stauffer hit for 20 points in the two contests and set up numerous other Spartan scoring chances with his brilliant ball-handling and play making. Bower, a 5'10" speedster, was rounded out Hockey Team Starts Strong; Downs Ontario Aggies Twice Michigan State's losingest coach of 1949-50 may become one of its winning- est coaches in 1950-51. First evidence indicated, at least, that ice hockey coach Harold Paulsen, former Minnesota Ail-American puck chaser, may have quite a team on his hands. Last season the skaters lost every one of their 14 games. Little more had been expected, however, since it was the first season of competition after a lapse of 20 years. team which This year's team was expected to be a bit better, but no one quite anticipated a two games against a tough Canadian college team racked up two decisive victories.

T HE R E C O RD Basketball in Early Games equally outstanding around the boards, both offensively and defensively. Spartans Prove Alert The Spartans showed themselves to be an alert, aggressive, well-conditioned team schooled in Newell's semi-deliberate offensive system, a system that depends a great deal upon split-second timing and ball control to provide good scoring op portunities. With center Bob Carey rounding into top basketball condition, Coach Newell has experimented with Ray Steffen at a forward spot to give the team valuable height around the boards. The combina tion will get its true test later in the season when the Spartans run against teams that average better than 6'4". Two soph forwards, Erik Furseth and Bob Johnson, have contributed note in early season worthy performances games team some badly to give needed depth in the front court. Sonny Means, a letter winner, also chipped in some outstanding defensive work. the Grandelius, Dibble Earn Ail-American Positions The fine 1950 football season brought to Coach Biggie Munn signal honors and several of his players. Coach Munn was named "Coach of the the Detroit Times Quarter Year" by backs' Club and as such will be honored at a banquet in February. "Sonny" Makes Three Teams Left halfback "Sonny" Grandelius and End Dome Dibble received first team Ail-American ratings. Numerous others made second and third teams and honor able mention lists. Grandelius made the important Associ ated Press, International News Service and Paramount News teams. Dibble was first string defensive end on the Look Magazine All-American team. Minarik, Dibble Honored Both Dibble and Grandelius received two bowl invitations. End Hank Minarik, who received vari ous All-American mentions was to have played the North-South game at Miami, Fla., on Christmas night. in Western Conference Title Meets To Climax Winter Sports Schedules A full winter sports schedule of dual meets, climaxed by official competition in the Western Conference champion ships late in the season, faces members of the Michigan State fencing, gym nastics, swimming, and wrestling teams as the 1951 season gets under way. Fencing Coach Charles Schmitter's 1951 fencing team, a combination of veterans and un tried newcomers, faces its difficult sched ule with a better-than-average chance of another winning season. Schmitter has four lettermen and several promising sophomores on which to build. Heading the list of returning veterans are Ray Totte and Al Jacobs in the foil event; Bill Pierson, eppe, and John Van Dagens, saber. Gymnastics Prospects for Coach George Szypula's 1951 gym team point to an improvement over last year's 4-4 record in dual com petition. The Spartans' headliner again to be Mel Stout, is almost certain the county's second-ranked gymnast in all- around competition. The Spartans have several other performers who figure to score heavily in meets. Among the most promising are Al Hannas, a junior tram poline artist; Dick Richter, Bob Feld- in all- meier, and George Kuczerepa events, and Ken Cook, sophomore spe cialist on the flying rings. Swimming The 1951 swim team will be paced by some top-flight individual performers but will not have too much depth. Clarke Scholes, NCAA and NAAU 100-yard free style champion, heads the list of returning veterans in his favorite event, and will have help in free style (220 events from George Hoogerhyde and 440 Jim relay), Dave Hoffman, Quigley, and sophomores Bert MacLach- lan and Dave Norman. Wrestling the 130-pound slot The loss of grappler Bill Buckingham due to a knee injury in the 123-pound class puts the burden squarely on the shoulders of Jack Hancock, a letterman two years ago, and sophomore Ruben Shehigian. Although is un decided, Coach Collins is set at 137 pounds with sophomore Don Bassett. Bob Gang, co-captain last year, gets the nod at 147 pounds; veteran Orris Bender will handle the 157 pound spot; George Bender is a cinch for the 167-pound class, and Gene Gibbons, co-captain last year, returns again at 177 pounds. The heavy weight spot finds Frank Kapral, a star football guard, vieing with sophomore Chuck Pipher.

The nation's two most highly re garded polls, the Associated Press and United Press, placed Michigan State in eighth and ninth places, respectively. Win Eight Games A pre-season bet on the Spartans to defeat eight of nine opponents, including Michigan, Minnesota and Notre Dame, would have commanded almost any odds. Today, of course, it would be like money in the bank, and dazed "experts" still are asking "wha hoppen"? What seems to have happened is this: Biggie Munn and his men weren't willing to concede that the loss of 21 lettermen from the fine 1949 team would be disastrous. They went to work with spirit and determination and met the challenges one at a time, nine of them, all but one successfully. Sophomores Come Through An unexpected number of sophomores came style—fellows in great like Vince Pisano, Dick Tamburo, Ray Vogt, Deane Thomas, Frank Kush, and Ed Timmerman—among others. through Capt. LeRoy Crane's return to offen sive action set up one of the season's top backfields, with Everett Grandelius at left halfback, Pisano at right halfback, and AI Dorow at quarterback. Despite a plague of minor injuries, the strong because Spartans kept going every time a man dropped out, a replace ment just as good or even better popped into prominence. Grandelius Gains 1,000 Yards "Sonny" Grandelius, known to be a good back, blossomed out as a truly great one, a real -Ail-American.

Sophomores Hold Key To 1951 Track Success A track team that will be somewhat weaker than the great ones of the past few years and yet can cause some trouble in Big Ten competition is anticipated for this winter. Bill Mack, Jack Dianetti, Horace Smith, and other stars have finished competition. Bulwarks of the 1951 team will be distance runners Warren Druetz ler and Dan Makielski and hurdler Jesse Thomas. Fred Johnson, former NCAA broad jump champ and a great hurdler, may be eligible for non-Western Confer ence competition. to make Newcomers Will Sparkle This will be a seaon for newcomers to sparkle, and at least half a dozen are expected important contribu tions. Alex Andrulis, of Hart, Mich., could become the best high jumper in State history; Jim Kepford, of Muske gon, Mich., looks like a future great in the half-mile and mile; Bob McClelland, of Hinsdale, 111., probably will be a 13-6 or better pole vaulter, and John Walter, of Buffalo, N.
