This is contrary to the procedure which was in vogue last time, when only such individuals as the coach enumerated beforehand were to report. Everyone who survived the. first cut will be on hand today, and when the coach calls a halt the squad will be reduced again. The customary hour for practice will be observed this afternoon, although there is a slight chance that work for the day will not terminate abruptly at 3:00 o'clock as the majority of the members of the track team are busily striving against the' elite of the east clear down in Gotham. Several of the pitchers are going at a'pretty good clip, and the ,batters are likely to find hitting a trifle more dif- ficult this afternoon. Coach Lundgren has moved very cautiously this year in his reductions of the size of the squad. Everyone has had an equal opportunity and the coach has done his best to overlook no one. Michigan claims the greatest base- ball coach in America, and one of the squarest men that ever donned a pair of spiked shoes. Every man that has reported this year has been given due consideration, something that is ex- ceedingly difficult considering the size of the squad. I. C. A. A. A. A. MEET TONIGHT PROMISES TO BE SUCCESSFUL New York, Mar, 3.-Profiting by the mistakes it made on its first attempt last year to promote an indoor relay carnival, the Intercollegiate Associa- tion of Amateur Athletes of America has this year arranged one of the most promising meets of the board floor season, to be held tomorrow night in Madison Square Garden. It was only natural last year that mis- takes would be made in the promoting of the college sports. The men who handled the games were all tackling a problem that they had never faced be- fore. The Intercollegiate association called on few persons outside its own ranks to assist in conducting the meet, and did the best it could under the circumstances. Many lessons were learned and will be put into effect in the coming meet. There should be no mishandling of the relays, for arrangements have been perfected to a high degree. The au- thorities have looked after minute de- tails, and everybody connected with the games expresses confidence in their success. They should be muchmore successful than last year, and, next to the great meet promoted by the Mill- rose A. A., promises to be the most successful indoor games of the sea- son. The best college athletes from the east and as far west as Michigan will be brought into competition. There will be stars. in action that New York- ers have never before seen. Dart- mouth's strong team, coached by Harry Hillman; will be missing, in all proba- bility, because of lack of funds, but the Hanoverians' absence will be made up by the addition of other teams. Dartmouth Enters McG ill ie Carnival Hanover, N. H., Ma r. 3.-Dartmouth will be represented by three men in the ice carnival at Montreal tomor- row. They will compete in a dual jump with McGill and will also en- ter the open events. McGill will en- ter approximately the same team that competed here recently. Two years ago, a Dartmouth team was entered which won the relay but was defeated BOARD WILL ACT ON TEAMS' SCHEIsLES TlSt AFTERNOON Dates for Varsity Baseball, rack and Tennis iAggregations to Be Ratified Baseball. track and tennis schedules are to be ratified at today's meeting of the Board in Control of Athletics, and will be publicly announced tomor- row. The early date of' spring vacation' this year and the lateness of com- mencement have combined to delay the framing of the baseball schedule, while the fact that the athletic author- ities have decided to hold no inter- collegiate track meets in Waterman gymnasium has played hob with the track dates. . Dates for both the All-Fresh base- ball and track teams ' will be an- Aounced at the same time as the Varsity schedule. TRACK MEN LEATE fOR EASTERN IN.OOR MEET Coach "Steve" Farrell Takes Seventeen Men to Classic at Madison Square Gardens Michigan's representatives at the I. C. A. A. A. A. Indoor meet to be held at Madison Square Garden, New York, tonight, left Ann Arbor at 2:42 o'clock yesterday afternoon over the Michigan Central, and will arrive in New York at 9:00 o'clock this morn- ing. Coach "Steve" Farrell was accom- panied by the 14 men who are en- tered in the meet and by Track Mana- ger Finkenstaedt. The total number making the trip was swelled to 17 by the presence of Clarence, the rubber. Before boarding the train the coach counted his chicks, and pronounced them all present and in perfect shape for the keen competition which they will meet tonight. While in New York the Michigan runners and shot men will stay at the Prince George Hotel, which is con- veniently situated with regard to the place of the meet, and the men will get a chance totry outthe track on the Madison Square Garden before the actual competition of the evening. The annual meeting of the I C. A. A. A. A. will be held at 2:00 o'clock at the Waldorf-Astoria this afternoon, and the managers of the colleges rep- resented in the organization will be present. The most important question to come up for settlement is the decid- ing upon the whereabouts of the East-, ern Intercollegiate meet. WISCONSi HEADS LEAGUE OF BIG NINE BASKETBALL TEAMS Indiana and Minnesota Victories Alone Fail to Follow Dope Madison, Wis., Mar. 3.-The results of last week's basketball. games pro- duced but minor changes in the re- spective standings. With the excep- tion of Indiana's win over Ohio State and Minnesota's defeat of Iowa, who had beaten the Gophers earlier in the season, the favorites won their games. Illinois climbed up a notch by win- nini from Minnesota and Chicago. Purdue dropped two contests, one to Wisconsin and the other to Minne- sota. Ilinois, 27; Minnesota, 22. Indiana, 29; Ohio State, 26. Minnesota. 21; Iowa, 13. Wisconsin, 35; Purdue, 22. Minnesota, 29; Purdue, 18. Illinois, 31; Chicago, 13. Big Nine Standing Won. Lost. Pct. But one game was played in the in- terclass basketball league last night, the soph lits nosing out the junior lits, 11 to 8. The sophomores, picked as easy winners by the dopesters, were carried off their feet by the rush of the third-year men during the early part of the battle. They succeeded in stemming the tide, however, but the junior lead was too much for them and the half ended with erstwhile cham- pions on the short end of a 5 to 3 score. The second period started off with the'whoop, but this time it was the second-year men who did the scintillat- ing. Time after time they carried the ball down the floor by perfect team- work, only to lose it under the basket to the fighting juniors. But the strain was beginning to tell on the wearers of the white toque, and the sophomores forged into the lead. A goal by Mil- ler, followed by one by Bothe as the gong clanged, cinched the laurel-leaves for the sophs. The teamwork of the second-year men was wonderful, but their shoot- ing was decidedly off color. Miller; and Brown were the twinklers for the winners while the work of Fraser and Davidson, the Junior guards, was especially commendable. The line-up and summaries follow: sophs (11) Position Juniors (8) Gariepy........L. F. ... ..Talbot Bothe... ...R. F .Kessler, WaltonI Miller ...,.. . . C. ........... Petrie Brown....... ...R.

The scheduled game between the pharmics and the senior lits was for- feited by the former. As this is the third game that the pill-mixers have forfeited, they will, under the rules of the league, be forced to withdraw their team from competition. COACH METCALF STARTS PLANS} FOR 1916 COLUMBIA FOOTBALL! New York, Mar. 3.-Plans for the organization of the 1916 football team at Columbia will begin to develop after the first meeting of the candi- dates on Tuesday afternoon. Coach T. Nelson Metcalf yesterday called out about 130 students, who were members of last year's Varsity and freshman squads, and others who have since signified their intention of trying for a place next fall. A short session of spring practice may be held during April, although this matter has not been decided defin- itely. South Field is Columbia's only athletic ground, and with the baseball squad occupying it after March 20, the eleven would be forced to hold foot- ball practice elsewhere.

May, di- rector of Waterman gymnasium, in commenting on the recent action of- the regents. "We have been immensely handi- capped in the past by a lack of proper facilities. We have about half enough shower - baths. In the matter of lockers, after the athletic teams and the regular gym classes are provided for, there are very faw left for the rest of the students. We should have from 1,000 to 1,500 more. We need greater floor-space in the gym proper. We are one of America's few large universities unequipped with a plunge.Michigan's facilities for minor sports are far be- hind those of any other institution of its size in the country. Our accommo- dations for boxing, wrestling and fenc- ing are practically nil. Handball is' proving an extremely popular sport and we should have three times the number of courts we now possess. "All these things, of course, cannot be bought with $50,000. But we hope that by continued appropriation we can in two or three years have our gymnasium large enough to give every Michigan man all the exercise he wants and at his favorite .sport." Columbia Swimmers Defeat Princeton Princeton, N. J., Mar. 3.-Columbia's swimming team defeated Princeton here, 28 to 25. In winning the 220- yard relay, the Princeton quartet, Selby, Lester, Delacy and Burchenal, broke the intercollegiate record. The time was 1 minute 44 2-5 seconds, three-fifths of a second better than the former record held by Yale. one regrettable tendency which has been growing in recent years. At least three teams made transcontin- ental trips, playing teams with which they had no natural alliance or friendly antagonisu. The Oregon Aggies came as far east as Michigan early in the season and both Brown and Syracuse 1visited the coast for post-season games. This looks like innocent interchange of athletic courtesies, but is it? What sound reason is there for Oregon play- ing Michigan or Washington playing Syracuse? Is there any spirit of friendly rivalry between these insti- tutions on which to base the game? Is there any tradition of previous games? I3 there any forward look to contin- uing association and rivalry that shall make for good feeling and understand- ing and all the other elements of good sport? These questions answer them- melves. The whole business is a rather irritating barnstorming cam- paign without sound sense or reason. It is argued that such games settle the question -of sectional superiority. Is there any such question? If there is, is it worth answering? Michigan has been playing Cornell and Penn- sylvania for some years now and still the. Middle West is as sure as ever that it plays as good football as the East and the East is as sure that it does not. "The one thing sure about football is that it settles nothing except that one team won and another lost. In other words, it is a game and not a straw vote or a mimic war. This pol- icy of barnstorming is akin to the big- game hunting in which certain of our eastern colleges engage annually. Sooner or later the team that goes: across country seeking victims will find itself playing men who have no business to play and using methods that are unworthy of college gentle- trips help advertise the colleges ing them.
