NINE PITCHERS ARE STILL LEFT.. Coach Rickey of the baseball nine weeded his battery men Saturday and 14 pitchers and three catchers were cut from the squad. The pitching staff now includes nine men, while six re- ceivers are still battling for positions. Rickey made the cut only because he has given up hope of getting his men out of doors before the spring trip, and he considered his squad too un- wieldy to handle in the cage. He has asked the unsuccessful men to report again out of doors, however, when he can give them more attention. "I have a problem on my hands," said Rickey last evening. "I am oblig- ed to take eight new men on the south- ern trip, and I have practically given up hope of getting the squad out of doors before the jaunt. This is some- thing that has never happened to a Michigan team before, so you will see how necessary it is that I get the squad down where I can handle it iv the gym." The pitchers who are still retained on the staff are Wiggins, Otis, Ward, Corbin, Wheat, Baribeau, Baker, Ken- yon and Smith. The remaining catch- ers are Gould, Rogers, Hippler, Black-- more, Gump, and Webber. i g y our expert workmen. p. Thus every detail of >nal supervision. welry Designs according m&CO* Cor.

Prof. Canfield Edits Souvenir Work. Contrary to the statement in The Michigan Daily of yesterday, that Prof. Robert Effinger edited the souvenir work of the French play, notice is call- ed to the fact that the souvenir edition of "Le Monde on l'on s'ennuye" was edited and arranged by Prof. A.G.

The Michigan Dai- ly hastened to explain that this was merely an awkward and misleading way of saying that the two colleges had been unable to find mutually sat- isfactory dates? According to recent dsipatches Vanderbilt has been given a football game with Harvard, and so will be unable to play Michigan. Mich-. igan retaliated bravely and promptly, announcing that henceforth Vanderbilt will be ignored in the arrangement of Michigan's schedules. Still more re- cently Ohio State presented to the Con- ference a request for admisiontto mem- bership. The action so far taken 'by the Conference indicates ' that Ohio State will be admitted. 'These facts are significant. For sev- eral seasons Cornell has furnished the games which saved Michigan's base- ball schedules from being complete failures; Michigan and Vanderbilt have maintained friendly relations since 1905; and Ohio State has come to be regarded as a fixture on Michi- gan'. s schedules in all branches of sport. The fact that Michigan has lost her contests with these institutions- in reality the most desirable of Mich- igans present'opponents-means not only Cornell, Vanderbilt and Ohio State do not consider Michi;an-so long as she retains the anomalous position now hers-as desirable an opponent as they do Harvard, and (in the case of Ohio State) the Conference colleges, but also that Mi higan is to be forced by a dearth of respectable opponents to a retention on her schedules of Syracuse, and a realliance with Notre Dame and Marquette. Adherence to Old Policy Ruinous. "The situation that confronts Mich- igan is one of fact not of sentiment. Altruistic desires to raise college ath- letics to a higher plane aside, Michi- gan cannot afford longer to play a losing game; and to adhere, for the sake of'saving the face of someone who blundered years ago, to a policy ruin- ous in its nature. There is such a thing as enlightened selfishness, and that selfishness demands that Michigan awake to a true realization of the sit- uation. Incentive to Tryout is Lost. "Some time Michigan alumni and un- dergraduates will refuse to be deceiv- ed by statements by the athletic au- thorities that 'Michigan is well pleased with the present situation;' by mud- slinging at the Conference to obscure the real issues; and by newspaper ex- planations of reports that Michigan has been dropped from -'s schedule. Re- sults, not excuses, determine ultimate- ly whether a given policy is a success or a failure. Michigan's present policy has been tried for more than five years. In that time baseball has become a tradition, solely because games with Alma, Oberlin, Western Reserve and De Pauw fall far short of replacing the championship games withIllinois, Chi- cago and Wisconsin; in the same pe- riod the only football seasons to which Michigan can point with any pride are 1909 and 1910and in each of those years it was the Michigan-Minnesota game, not' the Michigan Pennsylvania game which was responsible for the season's success. It is barely conceiv- able that opinions may differ in respect ,> the effect our transfer to the Eastern Intercollegiate has had on track ath- letics. Certainly if college athletics are to fulfiill their ultimate function- that of interesting in an active way a large percentage of the undergraduate body-the change has been a dismal failure. Competition is somewhat keener in the Eastern Intercollegiate than in the Conference meet; and, de- spite our repeated protests that we are not a Western, but a "Middle Eastern" university, the distance from Ann Ar- bor to Chicago is appreciably less than Ann Arbor to Cambridge, or even Ann Arbor to Philadelphia. The result is obvious. - Only a few can hope to 'place',in the Eastern Intercollegiate and the expense is too great to justify taking men who have not at least an outside chance to finish 'within the money." So the mediocre athletes are not given a place on the team and it is a matter of common knowledge that men-or boys,-will not submit to the slavish grind of a track season without some incentive. That incentive is not furnished by a prior knowledge that they cannot hope to make th.e team and thus have a chance to try to win points MONDAY MARCH 18 Now for Some Hearty Laughs HENRY W.
