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. MAHAN.

Gift "gey Gets 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.

Don't delay being meas- ured at once. No deposit required. 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. him. Score by innings-- R. 11.E.

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.

Atkinson was 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 high wind added to the difficulty in practice.
