In previous years ne of those men who were not aspirants for .erica. varsity honors received little or no n be- attention from the coaches.Prepara tform tion for the "dub" meet, however, of- J.

Consequently Rowe has set aside the time from 3:55 to 4:15 o'clock and night from 4:55 to 5:15 o'clock for training night those interested In the mile and half- e en- mile runs. Pole vaulters and shot ercial putters will get their chance to work' " be- out early Wednesday and Saturday af- ranch ternoons, while those participating in ectri- the other events will be coached at any other times. Michigan's 1914 baseball season is on in earnest, for yesterday morning the big grey cage was suspended from the rafters of Waterman gymnasium, and fifteen battery men worked out in the afternoon. Captain Pontius was in charge of the work, as Coach Lundgren will not be back until the first of the week. By that time it is expected that the men will have their arms in shape, and the long process of careful de- velopment will begin, followed by the inevitable elimination. Goodloe H. Rogers, '14L, star catch- er of last year's nine until he broke his ankle in a game against Syracuse on Ferry field, was at the gym yester- day to bid his teammates good-bye. "Pud" leaves this morning for St. Louis, where he will join the St. Louis Browns for the spring training trip. Branch Rickey, coach of the Wol- verines last spring, is managing the Mound City team, which will train at Petersburg, Fla. Rogers was with the St. Louis team during the latter part of last season, but his leg was not in the best of shape. Another Michigan player will soon leave Ann Arbor for major league company. Johnnie Lavans, star short- stop year before last and during the early part of last season will again be with the World Champion Athletics. Lavans was with the St. Louis Browns during the first part of last season, but was sold to Connie Mack by George Stovall, just before Rickey took charge of the Browns. Lavans, although he played regularly with the Browns, did not -play many games for Mack, but managed to get in on the world series coin last fall. Fred Blanding, a former Wolverine mound star, and for the last two sea- sons a member of the Cleveland Naps has signed a contract with the Feder- al league, according to current reports. Another former Michigan player, "Jock" Ezenroth, will go south for a tryout with Rickey's St. Louis Browns. Ezenroth, who captained his nine sev- eral years ago, has appeared nearly every June since then with "Jerry" Utley as one of the batteries in the an- nual alumni game. It is reported Clarence Lehr, '14L, formerly of the Princeton Varsity nine, is to be given a tryout with the Cin- cinnati Reds as a catcher. Lehr could not be reached last night. ALL LAW SMOKER SCHEDULED TOMORROW NIGHT AT UNION Arrangements have been nearly completed for the all-law smoker which will be held at the Union, to- morrow night at 7:00 o'clock. An ef- fort is being made to secure Judge Harry Olson, of Chicago as the prin- cipal speaker. The remainder of the program will consist in a number of talks by members of the law faculty, musical selections and special stunts offered by the respective law classes. Tickets for the smoker may be ob- tained from the members of the class social committee at 25 cents. battle-ground for the 1914 game be- . * * * * * * * * * tween the Wolverine football team * LET'S GO MICHIGAN * and the eleven of the Michigan Aggies * * will probably be made this week when * Participating Life Mem.. 275 * Coach Macklin, of the Farmers, is ex- * Applicants...............73 * pected to reach Ann Arbor for a con- * ference with Athletic Director P.

More FOURTEEN SECURE PERFECT RECORDS According to the semester grades, mailed to students in the literary de- partment from Registrar A. G. Hall's office yesterday afternoon, fourteen students in the department received marks of A in all of their courses for the half year's work. To one of these, Frances Green, '14, of St. Johns, Mich., belongs the unique distinction of having received similar marks for three semesters in succes- sion. Miss Green was given the high- est grade possible in all of her courses in both semesters of 1912-1913, and has repeated this performance for the semester just finished. Five of those getting all A's this semester, includ- ing Miss Green, received them for the second semester in succession. The majority of the other high-mark stu- dents ,were freshmen, for whom, ac- cording to the department officials, the earning of such marks is somewhat easier than for the upper classmen. The number of A students this sem- ester is slightly below that of last June, when eighteen were given the coveted mark in all of their courses. In February of 1913 a bare dozen gain- ed the high distinction. The grades were mailed from the (Continued on page 4.)

Trainer Farrell yesterday issued a call to all first year men to report to him at 2:45 o'clock, ready for par- ticipation. Competition in every event on the track calendar will be staged in the meet, which is intended as a means whereby the coach can get a line on the material for the 1914 All-Fresh team. The meet of Saturday will not be in the nature of a try-out for the 1917 team, as the coach intends to re- serve those trials until a later date. eras cai rman of the. oca with a sub-committee unde posed of representatives fr partment.
