ENTRIES COME SLOWLY
FOR FRESH-SUH MEET
Names Must Be Turned in at sater..

Entries for the annual Fresh-Soph
indoor track contest which is sch -
uled to come of Saturday afternoon at
2:00 o'clock hve so far been received
very slowly. Up to 5:30 o'clock yes-
terday afternoon the list of competi-
tors over at the gymnasium, where the
men must sign up before they may ap-
pear for the meet, showed the names
of but 18 second-year men and only 23
freshmen. The sophomores have as
yet no entrants in the 40-yard high
hurdles. With nmien of such ability as
Wickersham, and others ranking
among the real top-notchers of the
whole university to draw from, there
is no reason why the 1918 men should
not get together and make this event
one of their strongest entries.
All men in either of the two classes
must affix their signatures to the list
which may be found in Waterman gym-
nasium before 5:00 o'clock this after-
noon if they wish to take part in the
shot put, high jump, pole vault, 35-
yard dash, and the 40-yard high hur-
dies, and all preliminaries for the other
events on the program must be com-
pleted this afternoon.
Competition between the new men
and the sophs should be of the keen-
est in several of the events. Zoellin,
the yearling star, will find himself an-
chored to something strong when he
bumps up against Scofield and Page in
thtt short sprint, and will also have
real competition over the sticks if
Wickersham goes in for this event.
The other thriller of the program that
is certain to be productive of some real
hard work is the duel which will be
staged in the pole vault, with Clark
and Wong as the principals.
To date the dope seems to be some-
what in favor of the sec'ond year men
taking the meet. The lead ball con-
test looks like a clean sweep for them,
with at least two good places in the
high jump as their very own. However,
every fres~hman class always turns
out some dark horses, and this year
will be found no exception after the
places have been decided.
While engaged in his act of clear-
ing the bar in the high jump yesterday
afternoon, "Les" Waterbury was uin-
fortunate in landing at the side of the
mat, and badly injuring his foot, as
he slid off the. landing place. Fear
is eaPressed that the junior has
spraineit his ankle, and if such is the
case he wll be unable to don a suit
for at least 7vwo weeks. The accident
comes at a timn when "Les" was be-
ginning to round inito the bes form of
his career, and will keep him out of
the Notre Dame meet sie edule for a
week froni tomorrow. «

Made Then
Law classes detained Captain George
Labadie over on the northwestern
corner of the campus yesterday after-
noon and Brandell and Thomas were
in charge of the battery ctididates in
the gym.
The usual routine was the order of
the day in the captain's absence and

things ran off smoothly. Captain La-:
badie announced that he expected
Coach Lundgren. early Monday morn-
ing and that the former Cub twirler
would assume control the day he ar-
rived.
Ageneral call. will be issued for
next Monday when the outfielders and
infielders will be lined up for the
coach's inspection. Several men who
-will probably cast their lot with this
edivion have already been ddtected in
The gym working with the pitchers and
,catchers, although this last mentioned
.class has been the portion that has
received Labadie's attention.

MANY TIGKETS LEFT FOR MEET
Ch:g e of Affair fro 7:00 t
2-.00o &1clk Tloorow
Only :t iclts for the fresh-soph
track meet have been applied for to
date, and as a consequence the meet
will be open to all holders of ath-
lee books. There are 45 tickets left
or the meet and these may be ob-
tained by application at the Athletic
ofice on Maynard street, opposite the
Maj( tic theatre. All applicants for
admission to the meet must presetit
their athletic books at the office in or-
der to receive their tickets.
Contrary to all previous announce-
inents, the meet will be hqld at 2:30
o'clock Saturday afternoon instead of
7:00 o'clock that night. The meet will
be started promptly on schedule time
and spectators are requested to be
equally prompt. It is hoped that the
campus will show more interest than
has been exhibited thus far and that
a large number of students will se-
cure adnission to the annual event
between the two under classes, which
promises to be unusually good, as both
classes have some excellent track
naterial.

Looks Good
Baskeiball practice now occupies the
attention of the interclass athletes
eery night, The freshmen have the
gym on Tuesday, Thursday and Sat-
lrdeys while all the other classes are
,rced to divide the time between
them on the other nights 'of the week.
The season promises to be one of the
most successful ever held both in
point of interest and in the number of
candidates for teams who are coming
tt regular y. Every night nearly one
hundred men report for work and sonc
exellentmaterial can be observed c Al
almost all the teams, indicating a
close and hard-fought season.
Over fifty men reported for the fresh
lit tryout, and some husky yearlings
are out to make it hot for all con-
petitors. Prom the looks of the men
in action this class should put out one
of the strongest teams on the campus.
It is reported that Wyman and Hanish
of this year's All-Fresh football team
will be ot in basketball togs in the
near future. Jones, an All-Montana
guard, appears to be a rather valuable
asset to the fresh squad.
Quite a number of class football
stars are out for basketball. Goetz,
of the dents, all-campus guard last
fall, is playing, and it is expected that
Whitmarsh another all-campus foot-
ball man, will be out to play with the
oents. Pearce andlBrown, on the J-
law aggregation, promise to be two
dangerous goal-shooters. The soph
lits, last year's campus champions,
have five of their old men back this
year and are expecting to add Ed-
wards, an all-campus football man,
and Peach, of this year's All-Fresh
eleven. With these two men the sophs
should have about the heaviest and
strongest team on the campus and
are likely to repeat last year's per-
fermance and grab the title for the
second thre. "Walie" Nieman, can-
didate for the baseball squad, is out
for the J-lit basketball team with blood
in his eye.

:ew York, N. Y., Feb. 17.---Thir-
teen colleges have contributed 848
names to the entry lists for the second
annual indoor meet of the I. C. A. A
A. A., to be held at Madison Square
Carden, Saturday, March 4. Of this
host of athletic talent Cornell, the
Intercollegiate track and field cham-
pionship holder, has nominated 302;
Princeton 109' Massachusetts Insti-
tute of Technology 102, and Pennsyl-
vania an even hundred.
Columbia heads the list of New York
city colleges with ninety-three, rank--
ing ahead of Penn. State College with
seven ty, and Michigan, the lone repre-
sentative of the middle west, which
forwarded the names of fifty competi-
tors. Yale entry blanks contain forty-
live nominations, giving the Blue a
rumnerical advantage over Harvard of
eight. Other colleges and their entries
are Brown, twelve; New York Univer-
sity, eleven; Syracuse, nine, and Amn-
herst, seven.
In many respects this competitrs'
list compares favorable with the out-
door title meet entry, containing as it.
does a reresentative roster both in
cqiality and quantity of the athletic
muaterial of the leading colleges of the
association. Of the twelve events com-
posing the program for the Indoor
Intercollegiates, the sprint relay races
have drawn the greatest number of
entries.
The two and six-lap races lead with
Meamns from eleven colleges while the
three lap, medley and individual dash
have entrants from eight institutions.
The lhot put, hurdle race and high
jump draw from seven universities;
the broad jump six and the pole vault
lve.
Cornell has entered teams or indi-
vidual competitors in every event and
it is eident that Trainer Jack Moak-
ley will attempt to win the Indoor
ln: ercollegiates as decisively as his
charges did the championship at
Franklin Field last May. Pennsyl-
vania, M. I. T., and Columbia are close
seconds with entries in eleven events,
while Princeton is next with ten. Penn.
Stitte and Yale are tied with entrants
in seven contests; Harvard has select-
ed six events for Crimson competition
and Trainer Steve Farrell will send
w:-higan starters to the line in five.
Brown and N. Y. U. are in two con-
t;. ts and Syracuse and Amherst in one.
lhbysical Exammms for New Students
Dr. May, director of Waterman gym-
nasium, has announced that physical
examinations for students entering the
university this semester will be held
each morning of next week from 10:00
o'clock to 12:00 o'clock. Students
who have had no physical examination
thus far, but who have been enrolled
m one of the regular classes, should
report at this time for examination.

THE DAILY SPORTOSCOPE

Dear Put:
Well, Put, the

j hop is over and I

suppose you well know this fact your-
self and if at any time you are in
doubt if it is over or if it is not over,
all that is necessary to do is to look
at the figures in yr. check book and
you will be well convinced which is
which.
Well, I suppose you have got yr.
marks by now. I wis talking to wap
John the other aft. and he said I have
only had 4 C grades ever since I went
to college and I thot to myself gee
but you must be a awful bonehead and
I do not see why the faculty did
not kick you out at the end of the 1st
1-2 of yr. freshman year, and I said
you must be on probation double plus
all rite and he said where do you get
that stuff, huh. I mean I have only
had 4 marks so low as C and now Ij
do not know if he was kidding or if
he was not.
I ast wap if he was going to belong
to the u. of m. army what we are
going to get up to fight the Germans
and he said no as I have had 1 or 2
little wars all my own of -late and
so I do not need no more practice. (I
am glad Mr. Hobbs does not read this
here column, Put.)
Well, Put, baseball has begun and
there ain't no 1 in the whole college
who is happier over this fact than.
capt. Labadie and I have heard that

he is so crazy about b. b. that when
he eats he always has a baseball right
beside his plate and in the winter
he wears a outfielder's glove on his
left hand instead of 1 of them regu-
lar kid ones like other people use.
Some guy told me Labadie knew the
batting average of every person what
had ever played b. b. at all and so I
said to him what do you think my
batting average is, eh George, and he
looked me all over careful and said
well I have never saw the figures in
the book but if I was to guess I should
say somewhere between .018 and .022.
I got sore and said it is very evi-
dent you do not know so much about
b. b. as I thought you did, George,
and he said no but if I knew as much
about it as you seem to think you
know yourself, why then Ty Cobb
would be the greatest player in the
world-next to me.
Gee, Put, maybe if I offer to run a
swell picture of capt. Labadie in the
mich. Daily he will give me a nice new
baseball and then I and you can play
catch and the ball will not even cost
us 1c. So long Put, and you better
hunt up yr, old glove for I will ast
Labadie about that ball this aft.
Yrs.
HAL.
P.S. If I was to offer to run it
twice, he might give us 2 instead of
1. Pretty soft for I and you, eh, Put?

NEW Y K ('IOSEN AS SCENE
OP A RMY-NAVY FOOTBALL GAME
Philadlph1iaFeb. 17.-New York
will be the scene of the Army and
Navy football game next fall, and un-
less Philadelphia provides a stadium
with a seating capacity equal to that
of the Polo Grounds, time spectacular
contest, which had its origin here, will
be lost to the Quaker City forever.
This announcement was niade to-
night by Dr. J. William White, chair-
man of the University of Pennsyl-
vania committee on the Army and
Navy football game, after a confer-
ence with Lieut. W. T. Smith, chair-
man of the Navy athletic aissociation.
Dr. Wite state that ieutenant Smith
had informed him that the two in-
stitutions had decided upon the Polo
Grounds for the 1916 battle and that
the determining factor had been the
question of seating capacity.
"The arrangements in New York,"
said Dr. White's statement, "are such
that they will. be able to scat 50,000
persons next fall, so that even if it
had been possible for the University
of Pennsylvania to offer them the en-
tire space at Franklin Field, with its
capacity of 31,000 seats, a deficit of
19,000 seats would have been conclu-
sive."
"Even the maximum of 50,000 seats
offered 'the academies at New York,"
Lieutenant Smith explained, "would
not enable them to satisfy the demand
for seats."
"hloie-ilun" Baker Signs with Yanks
New York, Feb. 17.--J. Franklin
Baker, of fence-busting fame, has sign-
ed a three-year contract with the New
York Yankees. Both Manager Mack
of the Athletics and Colonel Ruppert,
owner of the Yanks, are silent as to
the terms of the deal, but it is rumored
that the price was about $25,000.

RENELLEN
A PL4CE OF DISTINCTIVE SERVICE

HOSPICE

%ers who met to choose his successor
last night
Coming as it did after the vigorous1
campaign against professional ath- I
leries, it -reated a big surprise in
spOrting lmiales here. In answer to
inquiries rom the athletic board, the
playem s woultl say nothing concerning
their action.
On account of the ruling of the
hoard, it will be impossible for Mil-
burn to dir-ect the team upon the dia-
.mond and he will probably lead the
Yale men from the'bench.

Is a place he can always come to after the lecture and be sure of getting practical cookery
in a square meal that will not distress digestion, trifle with his theory, muddle his mind or
wrangle with his walletoski.

Every day we are working to rnake this "A place ot distineC~
tive service."
