Varsity Cinder Men to Clash With
Notre Dame Squad This
Afternoon
FARRELL 31AKES SEVERAL SHIFTS
The lid which has remained closed
upon all home outdoor Varsity track
competition will be officially pried off
at 2:00 o'clock this afternoon when
the Wolverine cinder men clash with
Notre Dame.
The officials have been given in-
structions to issue the call for the
first event, the 100-yard dash, prompt-
ly as the campus clock strikes, so
that the meet can be finished before
the hour set for the beginning of the
baseball contest between Syracuse
and Mviichigan.
Farrell has decided to make some
changes in the way he will run his
men today. In the quarter he will
enter a man distinctly a stranger to
the student ,body in this event. That
manl is George F'oi. The senior has
not been going as good in the longer
runs as the coach. had hoped, hence
the shift. Another change following
as a sequence to the changing of Fox's
event is the return of the sophomore
speed merchant, Scofield, to the short-
erspr . This will give Michigan
a particularly strong list in the
dashes, as both Captain Smith and
O'Brien will participate in these
events.
Confidence as to the result of the
opening "At home" encounter ,pre-
vailed last night in the Wolverine
camp. Both the cinder men and
their coach said that they were more
than hoping to put the skids under
the Catholic team. Coupled with the
spirit of confidence, a measure of de-
sire for revenge could also be de-
tected in the talk of Farrell's hope-
fuls.
Michigan is conceded by old man
dope to have better than an even
chance in most of. the running events
to cop.the'stellar honors, and also the
lion's share of the points. The field
events will probably be closer, with
the Notre Dame bunch taking away'
several . counters, especially in the,
pole vault and the broad jump.

Sisler's Batting
Over 600 Michigan Students See St.
Louis Win Hard Fought Game
from Tigers
Some immutable laws of fate expi-
citly decree that whenever a baseball
player shall be presented with a gift
of any nature, he shall immediately
become the victim of a bad afternoon
at bat. And so not wishing to defy
the accepted customs and traditions
of the great national pastime, George
Sisler went to the plate five times yes-
terday afternoon without securing a
single hit.
Over 600 Michigan students went
into the city on the special train and
they saw St. Louis win a hard fought
game from the Tigers by a score of
5 to 4, but even the most ardent Sisler
partisan had to admit that George
didn't play a very big part in the vic-
tory. Even at that nobody cared par-
ticularly-except possibly George him-
self-for it was for a chance to see him
again and to yell for him that the
students made the trip.
Professor F. H. Stevens, Coach
Lundgren and L. 0. Cushing met Sisler
at the home plate just before the
game began and with the Detroit and
St. Louis players crowding around,
Professor Stevens presented George
with the watch that his friends had
purchased.
George was at bat five times and
every time he stepped to the plate
there were either three or two men on,
waiting for deliverance. Twice there
were two on the bases and thrice
he found three of his teammates wait-
ing for a safety but George didn't hit
one out of the diamond all afternoon.
He pulled one pretty fielding play,
spearing a bad throw with one hand,
but it came during a Detroit rally and
as the runner was safe anyway, al-
most everyone overlooked it.
He was the same old George that
used to cavort on Ferry Field, just as
modest as ever and every bit as pop-
ular and that speaks volumes in itself.
A collection was taken up on the
train on the way in to buy a watch
for "Johnny Lavan, but he wasn't,
with the team, and the timepiece willa
be sent to St. Louis.
ALL FRESH TEAM WINS IN
FAST GAME WITH '16 LAWS
Taking advantage of the absence of
Coach Lundgren with the VarsityR
squad yesterday afternoon, All-Fresh1
Coach McGinnis escorted his fresh-
man band over to the Varsity dia-
mond, where they staged a lively prac-;
tice tilt with the senior law class team,
last year's campus champions. The
freshmen won 6 to 0.

In the class baseball tournament,
yesterday two forfeits were turned in
as the result of yesterday's holiday,
the soph lits failing to appear in suf-
ficient numbers to warrant the stag-
ing of their scheduled tilt with the
fresh lits; the only other game on the
bill, that between the soph engineers
and their verdant brothers was like-
wvise decided, the latter being absent
when the scheduled time arrived,
thereby forfeiting to the sophs. Not
willing to leave the field without first
tasting the lust of battle, both teams
succeeded in recruiting enough play-
ers from rooters to stage a couple of
practice tilts.
The first game of the day was that
between the fresh lits and a team
composed of sophs and upperclassmen
of the same college, which the fresh-
men won by a score of seven to four.
Rapp twirled for the winners and
was effective in all but the fourth
inning, a combination of three hits
and two errors producing four runs
which was the sum total of the soph's
counters. "Tod" Brown pitched a
good game for the latter team, keep-
ing his opponents' hits well scattered.
Wild throws by his teammates ac-
counted largely for his defeat, six in
all being charged to the men behind.

The other game of the afternoon
was an exciting contest between the
soph engineers and a large majority
of the lately victorious junior engi-
neer squad. Keeping lip the list of
surprises sprung this week the form-
er team defeated the latter by the
neat count of five to three. Brown,
twirling for the victorious team, hand-
led himself in good shape, holding his
opponents to six hits mostly of the
scratch variety and proving very ef-
fective in the pinches. Cutting

and let the sophs down with seven

the captain of -the club's team last
year, and Doughty was for two years
state champion. Whether the latter
will play today is a question, but in
case he does enter the lists, Michigan
will encounter a strong player who is
very likely to annex some points for
the Detroit team. Dr. Owen will also
probably play with Detroit.
A change has been made in the
Michigan lineup as published in yes-
terday's paper. Cohen will be the
sixth man to go instead of Steketee
as announced. The two men played
three sets yesterday, Cohen winning
two out of the three. The team will
therefore be made up of Captain Craw-
ford, Mack, Switzer, Codd, Sherwood
and Cohen -
Little was done in the way of a final
workout yesterday on Ferry Field.
The courts were too wet and a rather

ALL- FRESH TEA MEETS
TSLEDO SCHOOL TODAY
Freshman Tennis Squad to Play Scott
High Aggregation; Expect
Victory
Michigan's All-Fresh tennis team
journeys to Toledo this morning in
an attempt to repeat last year's vic-
tory over the Scott high school rac-
quet squad. The team to make the trip
was chosen 'yesterday afternoon from
among those men who have showed
up best thus far in the tournament,
and consists of the following: E. A.
Knoche, George Codd, A. K. Strouse,
and E. F. Steketee.
Little is known of the ability of the
Toledo aggregation outside of the fact
that one man, Johns, is reputed to be
a whirlwind. He was the only Tole-
do man to win his match in last year's
contest, defeating Sherwood, the pres-
ent Varsity man, handily.
Of the Wolverine quartet, Steketee
and Knoche are reputed to be comers.
The former made an excellent show-
ing in the Comstocks trophy tourna-
ment last fall, while the latter has
lost but three games in 27 played this
spring. Codd is erratic, playing like
F. world beater one day and otherwise
the next, while Strouse is an un-
known quantity. Codd is a brother of
the Varsity man, while Steketee has
a cousin performing on the same
squad.
The second round of the freshman
tournament has finally been concluded
after many postponements and the
third round will begin Monday. The
results of the second round follow:
Knoche d. Borland, 6-1, 6-1; Mason
d. Rash, 7-5, .6-0; Ray d. Hoefeld, 6-1,
6-3; Hart d. Kemble, 6-1, 6-2; Steketee,
d. Strouse, 4-6, 6-1, 6-4; Shields d.
Hicks, 5-7, 6-2, 6-4; Goldsmith d.

van, 4-6, 6-3, 6-3.
