VARSITY CANDIATES IN
FIRST BATTING PRACTICE
Lundgren's Protegees Kept Busy lit-
ting Offerings of Pitching
Staff
Batting practice was enjoyed by the
Michigan baseball squad yesterday aft-
ernoon for the first time this season.
Coach Lundgren kept a relay of
hurlers busy serving up balls for the
hitters, and everyone on hand re-
ceived several opportunities to show
the coach what he looked like at the
plate.
Since yesterday was the first day
this season that batting has been on
the program, several of the members of,
the squad were not finding the ball as
regularly as they may later on, al-
though to compensate for the lack of
work in this connection, the pitchers
were not putting anything on the ball.
The big majority were merely con-
tent to lob them up to the plate, al-
though there were a few who were
cutting loose a trifle.
Several members of the squad were
stepping into the ball and meeting it
squarely on the nose. On two or three
occasions, the gentlemen at tle plate
lined them straight back at the pitch-
er, and the latter only averted a dire,
catastrophe by displaying considerable

lrandell Shows
Speed In Dashes
1915 Varsity Shortstop Has Big Edge
on Team-mates; Almost as
Fleet at Sisler
Michigan rooters who have been
watching the baseball team workout
of late have become firmly convinced
that "Steve" Farrell's track team
doesn't embrace all of the sprinters in
college.
There's a young fellow on the base-
ball team who can make any man on
the track squad step to the limit in
the short dashes, according to sev-
eral baseball followers.
This young gentleman is Mr. Bran-
dell, who cavorted in the short field
last season.
Brandell has been defeating every-
one on the baseball team in the dash'
es across the floor by such wide mar-
gins that some . of the members of
the baseball team avow that if "Hal"
Smith or "Obie" O'Brien. only give
him a yard, they'll never head him
again in 35.
Brandell modestly disclaims any par-
ticular ability as a speed merchant,
but the fact remains that he runs away
,from his playmates on the baseball'
squad like a scared jack rabbit, anoa
this particular special of animal isn't
noted for its elephantine movements,
either.
A yard in 35 is a long way, and yet
Brandell has been defeating some of
the fastest sprinters on the squad by
twice and three times this distance.
Several players who have watched him,
walk away from them are anxious to
see Brandell stack up against) one of
the Varsity sprinters, and the ma-
jority of them think that with a yard
handicap, the shortstop would make
it pretty warm for anyone in a 35-
yard lash.
Brnndell used to win from everyone
last year with the exception of Sisler,
and George was one of the fleetest
athletes running bases in America.
Brande I seems to be going better than
ever this year and he can put up a
pretty good argument against any-

TWO LASS BASKETALL
GAMES: HELD AT GYM
Fresh Dents Trounce Seniors in Rough
Battle; Foresters Trim
Homeop Team
Two class basketball games wre
played off last night in Waterman
gy: ci between teams of the fourth divi-
sion. In the first contest the fresh
dents defeated the seniors by two
points, the final score standing 12-10,
and in the second game the foresters
beat the homeops decisively by a 13-7
count. Both games yore rather poor
exhibiIons of teamwork and ca not
be rated as first rate basketball.
There was an evident lack of knowl-
edge of the rules on the part of both
dent teams and both showed their lack
of practice. The game was rough
from start to finish and made xp in
hard playing the inaccuracy in .>al
shooting. Cote, of the seniors, nar-
rowly missed being eliminated from the
game on account of personal fouis,
collecting three such during tha first
half,obviously from lack of knowledge
of the rules.
Cardinal, center for the fresh :ints
and one of last fall's class football
champs, formed the nucleus for his
team's attack, securing two field goals
and two foul, while he easily had the
advantage over his opponents at cen-
ter. Hawn of the senior team, togeth-
er with Steele, played the stellar game
'or shat aggregation, scoring one field
goal and slipping in four fouls.
Most of the fouls were called on
the older men but the freshmen were
finable to make more than two of the
zhances count for scores, which ac-
counts for the closeness in the final
3core. The first year men gathered
'lve field goals as against their oppo-
aents' three, while the seniors took
advantage of their opportunity for
adding in single points by throwing
"our fouls to two negotiated by the
freshmen.
From the score at the end of the
first half of the homeop-forester game,
an extremely close game was in view,
the count then reading 4-3 in favor of
the foresters. However, during the
second period of the contest, the
woodsmen spoiled all such dope by
adding up a total of 13 points, while
the medicine men were only able to
annex a total of seven points. Mag-
gio, forward for the homeops, claimed
the scoring honors of his team by get-1
ting three foul goals, and Homer, at
guard, proved to be the stalwart oakt
for his team, throwing three foul goals
and one basket from the floor while.
in play. The game was hard fought
all the way, but the same inaccuracy
as to goal shooting and apparent lackt
of practice that the Vents exhibited1
was evident. Bond, forester forward,e
played a strong game and proved him-
self to be a valuable man to his team
by collecting two field goals.

Kalamazoo, Mich., Feb. 28. - Many
cancellations in the official Michigan
Intercollegiate basketball schedule
e have complicated the standing consid-
d erably, and for some time the exact

known.
With but a single game remaining
on the intercollegiate list, and that one
a contest which will not affect the
holder of first place, the flag race can
for all practical purposes be consid-
ered finished, with Kalamazoo in the
lead. Adrian and Alma are scheduled
to play on March 4, but there is consid-
erably doubt as to the probability of
the game being staged.
Should Adrian win, they will be the
only team in the association playing
the reuqired number of games, and can
therefore claim the flag on a tech-
nicality. However, it is not expected
that Adrian will make any such claims.

East Lansing, Mich., Feb.x29.-Act-
ing President Frank S. Kedzie, of the
Michigan Agricultural college, un-
loosed a bit of information today that
clears up to a considerable extent the
coaching situation that has arisen as
the result of Coach John F. Macklin's,
determination to resign as head of the
farmers' athletic department at the end
of the present school year.
The coaching situation briefly is
this: Coach Macklin will return in the
fall to take charge of the gridiron
campaign providing his opportunities
to enter the coal mining business with
his father-in-law permit. On the other
hand, if Coach Macklin terminates his
connection with M. A. C., a new ath-
letic director of big caliber will be
obtained.

Soph Engineers and Combined Senior

This Afternoon
Meeting in the championship game of
the 1916 hockey season, the soph en-
gineers and the combined senior and
junior lits will battle for the final
honors at 4:00 o'clock this afternoon
in Weinberg's skating rink. The game
will be played on the inside rink, as
it is expected, before a large crowd.'
Both teams are in excellent form and
prepared to play the game of the sea-
son. Each team has won three games
thus fhr and they otherwise have
shown that they are about equally
matched.
Both teams are extremely confident
and are in prime condition for the con-
test. The lits have gained a new star
in Barnum, a prominent hockey play-
er of two years ago, who will tend
goal for the hits. The engineers claim
Weston as their brightest light and are
prepared to give the lits a hard fight.

VARSITY GUNNERS LOOKING
TOWARD GOAL IN CLASS "B"
Another spurt toward the goal in
cass "B" is expected by Varsity gun-
ners, and since Wilcoxen and Curtiss,
while practicing yesterday, both shot
perfect scores, it would seem that their
expectations are well grounded. When
a rifleman succeeds in totalling 200
points out of a possible 200, he is ei-
ther having some wonderful luck or
else is shooting the target of his life.
And because both of these men are ex-
ceptionally consistent shooters, Michi-
gan's stock is sure to rise many points
this week.
With another score such as was
made last week, Michigan may rest as-
sured of the "B" class title, as well as
of numerals and N. R. A. medals.
