I I TRACK MEN MEET IN BIGCPPFE ST Bartelme, Farrell, Rowe and Smith Will Address Michigan Varsty's Initial Gathering EXPECT CROWD OF ASPIRANTS All preparations for tonight's big track meeting have -been completed, and everything is now ready for the entertainment of the monster crowd of Michigan's athletes which is ex- pected to be present at the West Phy- sics lecture hall at 7:00 o'clock. Four speakers have been secured for the occasion in order to instill the proper spirit into the men. The first of these .is P. G. Bartelme, athletic di- rector, who will open the firing guns by giving Michigan men an idea of what kind of opposition they may be expected to have this coming spring in both indoor and outside meets. Bar- telme will be followed by Coach "Steve" Farrell. "Steve" will prob- ably emphasize the importance of a large list of condidates for the differ- ent entries. In addition, he is expected to make a strong plea for the digging up of material from the freshman class in order to put in the field a strong All-Fresh aggregation of track athletes, inasmuch as up to the present hour the new class has not brought out any prospective Smiths, or other stars. Following the coach, Intramural Di- rector Rowe will talk upon the value of the interclass athlete to the track teams of the future. The last of the four speakers, Captain Smith, will no doubtsemphasize the need of a large entry list in different events, due to the scarcity of stars this season.

TRACK MEN HOLD MEET Yearlinig Indoor~ Runners to Pry Lid of Waternian Season Because ot the absence ofany in- dividual stars in, the present fresh- man class, the track authorities have decided to hold a track meet for all freshmen next Saturday afteronon in Waterman gymnasium. The first event will begin promptly at 2:30 o'clock. The entire list of track and field events will be held in order that every branch of track sports may be ac- commodated. Wherever necessary, preliminary heats will be staged, and in these in- stances the best time of the competi- tors will be taken into consideration. The events will be run off just as quickly as possible, but because of the fact that some of the candidates will desire to enter more than one event, it will be impossible to run off the events simultaneously. This idea was first tried out two years ago with excellent results, and because of practically the same condi- tions now as then, the authorities it best that the same thing be tried again. It is hoped that all freshmen and, first year men in the university who are interested in track work be present. Instructors and Varsity track athletes will be present to instruct all those who may want any help, in or- der that the meet may be a success. Those in charge of the meeting wish it distinctly understood that freshmen, and other men, even if they have no intention of coming out for the Var- sity this season, are invited for the entertainment, providing they wish to attend, and they hope that everyone interested in this year's or future teams will be among those on hand. More than 40 candidates were out TO ENTERTAIN PREP STARS HihSchool Football lien Will lie Guests of "Al" Club Members of the "M" club are plan- ning to hold a football dinner at the Union next Friday evening. In ad- dition to the squad of football men who are working out in the gymnasium during the winter season, it is also planned to invite various prep school athletes throughout the state. A personal meeting between the "M" men of Michigan and those fellows in the state who have gained a reputa- tion in prep school football, will do much to interest those men in Michi- gan and in Michigan athletics. Let- ters of invitation to the prominent high school athletes have been sent out by Captain Maulbetsch, and among those men who are expected to be present' are ex-Captain Straw, and Captain Cul- ver of the Detroit Central team, Hen- drian of Detroit Central, Whitmarsh of D. U. S., and Wilkinson of Jackson. The dinner will be in the nature of an informal get-together, and after- dinner speeches will be placed under the ban. It is probable, however, that Director Bartelme will have something to say, and there is a possibility that "Jimmy" Craig will be on deck for the meeting, and will have some con- tributions on the athletic standing and athletic conditions of Michigan. yesterday in answer to the first call which has been sent out. Several of the men who had as yet to make their season's coming out, put in an ap- pearance, among the newcomers be- ing Captain Carroll of the C. C. C. team. "Eddie" has been resting up since the end of the strenuous cross- country season, but yesterday saw him running on the outdoor track. Another week's schedule for the in- door baseball league was issued by the Intromural office yesterday. The same rules relating to the former slates will apply to this last chart, especially the provision applying to forfeitures, that is, that any team for- feting two games will be dropped from the league. One change in the sched- ule results from the dropping out of the J-lits, who forfeited two games on the last round. The lits apparently had a streak of! .d luck. They lost steadily, yet to all appearances had a good team, and played a hard, conscientious game, but they were slated to meet some of the hardest teams in the league from the first, when their aggregation was not in the best condition. to play. the top notchers. The schedule for tonight is as fol- lows: 7:00 o'clock, J-laws vs. archi- tects; 7:40 o'clock, fresh lits vs. fresh engineers. The soph engineers were to have played the J-lits, but as the latter team is no longer in the league that game had to drop, although that does not mean that the soph engineers will receive a forfeit. Since the whole of the schedule has been made out and filed it could not very conveniently have been rearranged to substitute an- other game in its place, and the night's slate will be moved up a notch in- stead, and there. will be only two games instead of the usual three. The J-laws are somewhat young in the league as yet and the two first year teams have been receiving so many forfeitsthat they have furnished no opportunities for estimates on their relative strength. The architects-have a good team, and should give the laws a hard rub, but the latter may be stronger than is understood and a reversal of dope is possible. However, the laws have never exhibited any tremendous strength as a scoring ma- chine and the architects ought to win their game. LELAND STANFORD WILL SEND TRACK TEAM EAST IN SPRING Palo Alto, Cal., Jan. 10.-Leland Stanford is planning to send a team of 12 men east next summer for com- petition in the intercollegiate track and field meets at Philadelphia. There will also be a dual meet with either Yale or Harvard. This is the first time that Stanford has ever sent a team of track men to the east. The reason is said to be be- cause of the excellent material present this year, and because of the success that the Westerners had in the inter- collegiate regatta at Poughkeepsie last spring.

BALL GAMIES TONIGHT J-Laws Meet Architects and Lits Battle Fresh Engineers Fresh FAST FOUR-MILE SQUADIN SIGHT'1, Four Veterans and Six New Men Make Prospects Particularly Bright for Runners CARROL BACK FOR LAST LAP Although it is rather early in the season to indulge in any serious pro- phecies, still Michigan's chances for a crackerjack four-mile relay team seem excellent. All four of last year's men are back, and Coach Farrell has a half dozen new comers on hand, among which number at least a couple look partic- ularly good. Last year's four-mile team was prob- ably the greatest that Michigan has ever had, despite the fact that they did not win this event at the Pennsyl- vania or Drake relay races. Wiscon- sin, their conqueror at the Drake games, was defeated later in the sea- son, and one of the chief ambitions of this year's aggregation will lie to secure revenge upon Cornell. Carroll, Fox, Donnelly and Ufer are all on hand, the first three mentioned working with the cross-country team this last fall. Prominent among the new men is Murphy, the half-miler on the 1914 track squad. Murphy was ineligible last season, but he is avail- able this year, and "Cap" is going to run a pretty fast mile before the sea- son is over. In "Eddie" Carroll, Michigan has one of the best college milers in Amer- ica. Carroll finished third last year in the eastern intercollegiates, barely five yards behind McKenzie, the Princeton man who won the event. Carroll's added experience should make him one of the fastest men in the country at this distance, and the Wolverines are assured of a whirlwind man to run the last lap. Fox, Ufer and Donnelly are counted upon to shave a few seconds off their last year's marks, and with the com- petition provided by the new men, the Maize and Blue .should develop an ex- cellent quartet. It will not be sur- prising to see one and perhaps even two of the new candidates winning a berth on the team, although if all four of last year's men show marked improvement, the 1915 team may stand intact. "Eddie" Carroll ought to run close to 4:20 this year, and with the other three men averaging close to 4:30, the Michigan team may run under 19:00 minutes. The squad fell . but a few seconds short of this last season, and with a year's added experience and improvement, the Wolverine's oppo- nents are going to find a big task on their hands when they stack up against- the Michigan squad. Samuel Appointed Home Secretary London, Jan. 10.-Postmaster-gen- eral Herbert Samuel has been appoint- ed home secretary in succession to Sir John Simon, who resigned. THE DAILY SPORTOSCOPE In speaking of the J-Hop the Michi- gan Daily says: "The orchestra and band will then. alternate, each playing for every other dance during the 30 on the program." By the time a few extras have been inserted for good measure, J-Hoppers; will find themselves confronted by a regular evening marathon. We won- der whether this fellow "Eddie" Mack ever stopped to consider that there actually are a few students in col-] lage after all who didn't work out with the cross-country team this fall.' Jack Johnson wants to return to America, and has written to United States District Attorney Charles F. Clyne with this in view. Mr. Clyne replied that if Johnson came back the "law would have to take its course," which probably means "Jack" would1 go o jail. And now some cruel-hearted person suggests that he'd rather see Johnson at liberty in Europe than ino jail in America, since there aren't so many stray bullets filling the atmos- phere within the walls of our bastiles as there are out in the open in Europe. The University of Kansas has placed. football upon the compulsory list. This action seems strange when it is con- sidered that in many places the sport is barred altogether. The late Tom Shevlin rushed back to New York on November 20 last, immediately after the close of the Harvard-Yale football game. That he did not take the defeat to heart so much as many would think is indicat- ed by the following story, which is vouched for as authentic: On a train a Princeton man and an -old friend of Tom's, said to him: "Why is it that you team could beat Princeton and then fall down so hard against Har- vard ?" And Shevlin replied : "That's easy. It's impossible to make two lem- onades out of one lemon."-New York Sun. SYRACUSE TO MEET MICHIGAN RUNNERS AT ANN ARBOR MAY 131 Syracuse, N. Y., Jan. 10.-In the track schedule for the coming season which has just been given out, Michi- gan will be met at Ann Arbor in an outdoor meet on Saturday, May 13. Other outdoor struggles which assure the Orange and\ Black of a strenuous season are the Penn relays, a dual meet at Pittsburgh, and the I. Q. A. A. A. A. meet on May 26 and 27. The last named meet is as yet undecided. Oregon "Ag" Coach Goes to Nebraska Lincoln, Neb., Jan. 10.-Dr. E. J. Stewart, for the past four years coach of the Oregon Aggies, will coach the Nebraska Cornhuskers next year, it was announced today. Doctor Stewart gained considerable fame when his team beat the Michigan Aggies last season. He succeeds E. O. Stiehm, who becomes physical director at the University of Indiana. Stewart's sal- ary for the season is said to be $3,000.
