'KING Phone 2005 ANN ARBOR "THE ROUTE OF THE BLACK DIAMOND" PLAY THREE INDOR CONTESTS TONIGHT Gifts at all Prices f 1 r .rif Neet Fre I I (sh E'.ngineers; '16 1ngiikeers IDoped to l~in from L.-lWS A1CKLE '1S ENGINEERS Three more indoor baseball games will be played before the holidays when tonight's schedule is run off at Waterman gymnasium between 7:00 and 9:00 o'clock. The pharmics and the senior engineers follow during the second period, and the J-laws play the soph engineers in the last period of the time allowed in the gymnasium. From ail appearances the architects have the odds in the first game to- night when they meet the fresh en- gineers. The former have won two out of three games while their pros- pective opponents have played two games and have annexed only one of them. The architects have been put- ting up an extraordinarily good brand of ball and have a strong combination in their batteries, Davenport and Cam- eron. A good game should result when the senior engineers and the pharmics mix things during the second period tonight. The engineers have won all their games so far and are expected to put in a strong bid for the indoor championship at the end of the sea- son. They boast the safest catcher in the league, Trelfa, who rarely drops the ball on the last strike and who can be relied upon to slam the ball for his share of the bases. The pharmics have a good, well balanced team with a couple of good pitchers and are strong with the stick. They are expected to give the engi- neers a hot battle. Both the soph engineers and J-laws, the two teams that provide the excite- ment during the last period of play, have a .500 average and evidently are pretty well matched. The J-laws have forfeited one of the games, and so have not been seen in action often enough to enable a Just estimate to be formed as to their strength. The soph engineers rose to prominence Thursday night when they tied the J-engineers and almost made their opponents take the little end of the score. They have one of the best balanced combinations in the league and are equally strong at the bat and in- the field. Their teamwork is good and they lend splendid support to the man in the box. Notre Dame May Book Eastern Games South Bend, Ind., Dec. 17.-Notre Dame will probably have three east- ern schools as opponents next sea- son and at least one of the contests will be played in Indianapolis. The Catholics will meet the Army again at West Point on November 4aand there is a strong probability that either Dartmouth or Syracuse will be played, the former at the Hoosier capital. Yale may also meet the In-. diana team.

A. U. championship meet to be held in Chicago some time afterr the first of the year. Dr. May was reluctant to make any definite state- ment on the subject, as Ithe matter has not yet been decided.- The difficulty that the prospective promoters of the movement have to overcome is the lack of finances for sending a man to such a meet. Wrestling has never been considered; a major sport at Michigan and no provision was ever made for obtain- ing funds for such a project by the athletic board. If this idea can be carried out by Dr. May and Mr. Westerman, it is probable that Anthony E. Amtsbuech- ler, '16, will be the man sent to the meet to represent the university. In the opinion of Mr. Westerman, Amts- buechler is the best of the many wrestlers now practicing at the gym- nasium. Last year he won the mid- dleweight championship of the uni- versity without any difficulty and hasi shown more knowledge of the game than anybody who has taken work under the present instructor. Last year the question of sending a man to the meet came up, but as is now the case, funds for the undertak- ing were not obtainable. However, it is hoped by Mr. Westerman that suf- ficient money may be secured this season, even if through the medium of popular donations by men inter- ested in the project.- The fact that a man may be sent to Chicago this year should prove an added incentive to those who have been contemplating going out for: wrestling but have not yet done so. There is a chance for anyone to be chosen for the trip who shows suffi- cient ability. iedics and Dents Given Use of Gym Routine business was transacted at a short meeting of the Student Coun-1 cil Thursday evening. President T. P. Soddy, '16E, reported that medic and dent students might have the use of the gymnasium for exercise from 5:00 until 6:30 o'clock each evening.

Coach Farrell, of the varsity track squad, divided his time -etween the various branches yesterday afternoon, and not only watched the perform- ances of his special charges, but also found time to give some of Director May's freshmen gym classes a little sprinting practice. "Pat" Smith was out heaving the shot yesterday and showed that he has not forgotten how to get behind a 16-pound ball as well as a football line. Cross has been working regu- larly for some time and is doped to show considerable improvement over his work of last year, which will mean several points for the Michigan team this winter and spring. "Cap" Murphy was out doing the half mile yesterday and from the pleased expression on "Steve's" fea- tures we deduce that "Cap" is another valuable man for the squad, which impression was borne out when the middle-distance man was seen in ac- tion. Among the dash men who were out, Schofield was especially distin- guished by his work against the fresh- men from the gym classes. Even though handicapped, this stellar sprinter invariably flashed by the bunch of runners before they had reached the 35-yard mark. One of the features of the afternoon was a heavyweight race between "Pat" Smith and "Jimmy" Raynsford. "Pat" demonstrated hid ability as a sprinter when he beat his opponent from handi- cap. However, it was a hard-fought race all the way and both runners showed the effects of exertion after it was over. Carnegie 'Tech to Play Yale Football Pittsburgh, Pa., Dec. 17.-An- nouncement was made last night that the football team at the Carnegie In- stitute of Technology had accepted an invitation to play Yale university in New Haven on September 30. We can do your papering, painting tinting, etc., at once. C. H. Major A Co. Phone 237. edtdec2l GoOad Printing-Tihe Ann Arbor Press Several years ago Michigan's four- mile relay teams were perpetual champions. Of late it has begun to look as though Michigan might be able to claim this same title for her sprint- ers. A few years ago, whenever Michi- gan entered a four-mile relay team in the Penn relays or elsewhere, the big interest for the other col- leges used to be in seeing who could finish second. Michigan's particular interest used to center over speculation as to whether the team could clip a few more seconds off their previous record, and who could run the fastest lap, and in sev- eral other matters of a more or less personal nature. Last year's four-mile team looked so good that many track followers are beginning to suspect that per- haps the "old days" are returning, but in the meantime the record and future of the Maize and Blue sprint-. ers will bear pretty close scrutiny. In his day, Archie Hahn was un- beatable. Later Ralph Craig began to flirt with the various sprint rec- ords. At the Olympic games in Sweden, Craig won both dashes and for two years at the eastern inter-, collegiates the Detroiter was away from the field like an agitated rab- bit. In fact one afternoon Ralph became so excited he tied the world's record in the 220-yard dash, covering the distance in 211-5. He is also credited with 9 4-5 in the hundred. Then came "Chink" Bond, and "Howdy" Seward. In 1913 these boys hadn't come into their own as yet, and they failed to win the two dashes in thie intercollegiate, al- though both of them were among the leaders. In 1914 Bond captured the 100 and "Howdy" finished third with Hal Smith fifth. Seward evened up by winning the 220, with Smith run- ning second and Bond tieing for -fourth. Heats always killed "Chink," and "Steve" Farrell still insists that for a single 220-yard dash, Bond can beat anything that moves with the possible exceyption of a bullet or a beam of sunlight. Last year Captain Smith won both the 100 and 220, and he led every step of the distance in both events. Harold O'Brien qualified in the 100, but he failed to place in athe finals. This year Michigan will have Smith, O'Brien and Al Robinson, if "Steve" starts last year's freshman captain in the dashes instead of the quarter. Robinson is sure to finish among the leaders, and Michigan ought to make a big killing in the dashes. In the freshman class this year are the two crack sprinters. Zoellin, the Lewis institute lad, who performed so acceptably in the Michigan inter- scolastic last year, is out for the 1919 team, while Macrae, an east- ern youth who won a big reputa- tion in the dashes, will be available. Macrae was compelled to leave school because of appendicitis, but he is expected to return. Oregon Aggies to Come East Next Year Portland, Ore., Dec. 17.--Indications point to an invasion of the East by the Oregon Aggies next season. They are slated to meet Syracuse in a re- turn engagement at Syracuse on Octo- ber 21. The New York team defeated the far westerners 28-0 and the Aggies are after a chance for revenge against the heavy Orange eleven. Barrett AcceptI Baseball Contract Ithaca, N. Y., Dec. 17.--Charles Bar- rett, leader of the Cornell champion- ship football team during the past season, who has been chosen on al- most every All-American team this year, has accepted a contract with the Cleveland American League baseball team and will be among the hurlers who will endeavor to pitch the Indians out of the cellar next season.
