COACH GIVES OUT LIST OF ENTRIES Track coach Farrell yesterday an- nounced the names of the men which he had entered in the meet on Saturday night in Detroit against the Y. M. C. A. While the list given out is official it is not expected that all of the men named will be taken on the trip, it being the intention of Farrell, as an- nounced earlier in the week, to take only about thirteen men on the trip. Tryouts in the sprints and the mid- dle distance runs were held under the direction of the coach yesterday, but he has not yet given out the results. The following are the men who will be taken: : High jump-I: D. Butler, L. E. Wat- erbury, W. C. Davis. Shot put-C. F. Cross, J. W. Ed- wards, S. J. Leach. 25 yard dash-H. E. O'Brien, J., Ziegler, S.

FUTURE MAY SEE BIG MEET STAGED UPON FERRY FIELD I AFF EXPECTED TO HEAD TEAM Michigan will send a two mile relay team to the Pittsburg relay races, to run in competition with a team from Cornell. This was definitely announc- ed yesterday when Cornell was heard from to the effect that they would comply with the terms as subjected to them. Trainer Farrell has been working with the relay .men since the exami- nation period, and has seven men of first water caliber to pick the quartet from. Haff and Jansen are considered as fixtures on the team, but the re- maining two Tplaces will be fought for by the other five. Brown,the captain of the cross coun- try squad, and a number of the record breaking two mile team of last season has had a fall from form, and is run- ning at a speed in the half mile, far below his normal gait. Griest, how- ever, a former high jumper, has fitted into his place, and is practically cer- tain to be the third member of the squad. Murphy, Lamey Brown, and Fox complete the roll of the chief contend- ers. All these men are able to trav- erse the half mile distance in close to two minutes, so that the Wolverine college is sure of a representation at Pittsburg that will not perceptibly lower the standard set last year. C. G. SCHOEFFEL'S TRIAL IS POSTPONED UNTIL MARCH 12J Upon motion of the prosecution, the assault and battery case of the People vs. Carl G. Schoeffel, '13-'15L, which was to have been tried in Justice W. G. Doty's court this morning, has been postponed until March 12.J The charge against Schoeffel wasJ preferred by Mrs. F. J. Webb, Oakland avenue, February 24, as the result of an altercation which occurred when Schoeffel attempted to secure someJ trunks which were being detained by Mrs. Webb. When arraigned, the de-] fendant pleaded not guilty to the1 charge. Schoeffel has retained Attor-! ney George W. SaSmple as his counsel.

WARNER WINS SOPH LIT GAME In the best of the five basketball games played at Waterman gymnasi- um last night the soph lits defeated the fresh homeops by an 18 to 17 score. With Bradbeer and Codd starring, the fresh lits walked over the soph dents by a 21 to 8 count. The soph pharmics beat the fresh engineers in a 12 to 7 battle. When Maulbetsch entered the game for the pharmics tation of Dr. Hall to hold the next convention at Michigan, is niow in the hands of the executive committee, the body which has the final decision. Registrar Kram, of Harvard Univer- sity, seconded the invitation extended by the Michigan official, while Regis- trar Ensign, of Iowa University, sup- ported it. There was but little oppo- sition, and it is considered highly probable that the sessions will be held here, bringing over half a hundred college and university officials to this city. UNION BOAT-CLUB TO HOLD ELECTION the game was so near a close that he didn't have a chance to show his class. The fresh medicswere easily beaten by the soph laws who scored 21 to the medics 7. According to the dope the senior laws were beaten by the senior engineers. The score was 27 to 8. The soph lit-fresh homeop game started out with a rush and there was some lively scoring by both sides. When the half was over the score was tied at 12 and 12. Each side started the second half with added vim, but the pharmics seemed to have the edge on the lits, till just before time was called. The score was brought to a tie by Warner's timely field goal. A short rest was granted after which five minutes of play were allowed to break the dead-lock. A foul was call- ed on the lits and Maggio for the hom- eops scored 1. The ball was. rushed down from center to Warner who shota the basket which won the game for the lits. The score ended 18 to 17 with the lits on the long end. Play in the series will be discontin- ued tonight, but will be resumed to- morrow. Summary of soph lit-fresh homeopI game: Soph lits Fresh homeops Bently........... R.F.......Maggio Stinson..........

Daily Eastern Intercollegiate May Following Completion of Stadium Come The great Eastern Intercollegiate track meet will be staged on Ferry field, and not in the very far distant future, according to a statement made by Charles Crowe, Varsity track man- ager, who has just returned from New York City where he attended the meet- ing of the Intercollegiate association last Saturday at the Waldorf-Astoria hotel. The coming of the eastern ath- letes to Michigan for their biggest meet of the year, is contingent on the com- pletion of the Wolverine stadium, to be started this year, and the conse- quent ability of Michigan to handle the huge crowds of spectators and ath- letes. Until that time, Michigan will make no attempt to bring the big meet to Ann Arbor, but so friendly is the atti- tude of the eastern universities to Michigan that Manager Crowe does not believe that any serious opposition to an invitation will arise when it is once extended. a The Michigan manager was present and voted at the meeting which pass- ed the rule giving points to the win- ners of the first five places in the big track meet, which admitted Colby to the Association and which selected Cambridge for the staging of the 1914 meet. Crowe supported Pennsylvania and Syracuse in this latter fight, pre- ferring them, with their close rela- tions with the Wolverines, to Har- vard, just entering on a period of what is hoped shall be a friendly ath- letic intercourse. assistants to Weaver, '16E, lh trician. the cast at 4:.00 o'cloc and by the chorus at night.
