Biggest factors in the rosy outlook, according to Bolstad, are experience and balance. The Gophers top four men, Gene Hansen, Capt. Carson Herron, Rolf Deming, and Jim Pfleider are extremely well matched, and Bolstad says he can't chose between them as to excellence. The other members of the squad's top six are Harry Newby and Les Peterson. Bolstad hopes his squad will continue the great improvement demonstrated last year when the Gophers catapulted from ninth to fourth place and almost finished second.
