WTEHMN GYM SOON TO
BE READYFOR QUNE
VARSITY SQUAD MEETS HIGH
SCHOOL, TEAM FOR
PRACTICE
With practically all of the mechan-
ics discharged from the service, Wat-
erman gymnasium will soon be ready
for the basketball men. Three com-
panies have been discharged already,
practically vacating the gym.
Carpenters will be placed to work
tearing out the temporary floor,
which was used for a barracks, and
in a general way they will start work
on the basketball floor, tI is ex-
pected that the gym will be ready
for the quintet within a week.
Practice at High School
Meanwhile, the Ann Arbor high
school court is being given a taste
of some high class basketball work.
The workout of yesterday afternoon
n scluded a practice game with t he
high school squad.
'l7e younger players gave the Var-
sity men some stiff opposition de-
spite the fact that they are in a far
lower class of court artists A 30-5
score gave the victory to the Varsity
men. '.
The game gives ample evidence of
the fact that Coach Mitchell is going
to turn out a team that will make a
record for itself on the coming sched-
ule. Despite the fact that but one
letter man is on the squad, they are
rapidly rounding into shape, with
team work that will be made to count.
Hewlett Only Veteran
Karpus and Hewlett filled the for-
ward positions, and counted largely
in the scoring of the Varsity men.y
Hewlett is the one veteran on the
squad, and promises to be a brilliant
figure in the coming contests. Cohn,
the star football man, held down the
center position, while Henkel and
Wilson at the guards, proved that
they will make it hard for any oppo-
sition to do any scoring.
This bunch, of course, is not the
Varsity team. The coach has a full
month of practice before the squad
before any selection will be made. All
men will be given a stiff run for their
positions.

officers training camp in Texas too
late to held this year's team.rBesides
the football players there were two of
last year's basketball team, two for
the track team, one for the tennis
team and one for the baseball team.

and pitched for the baseball team is
among these.

versity of Minnesota S. A. T.. C. was
held last Friday. Six gold belts and
six silver belts were given as prizes

began in earnest last Monday. Three
men of last year's team are back and
and the prospects are excellent.
CORONER'S JURY FINDS NO ONE
TO BLAME FOR DEXTER WRECK
Contradictory testimony presented
at the inquestMonday night over the
death of Anthony Rinshed, railroad
engineer, caused the jury to return
an indeterminate verdict, fixing the
blame on no one. Rinshed was kill-
ed in the wreck which occurred Nov.
22 about one mile west ofuDexter.
During the course of the inquest it
was stated that in the early morning
of Nov. 22, Michigan Central train No.
32 ran into another train known as
"M. C. L" about one mile west of Dex-
ter. Misunderstanding of orders
seems to have been the cause of the
wreck.
The inquest was conducted by Cor-
oner Kennedy and Assistant County
Prosecutor Lisle, and was held at
the court house.
CHILDREN ATTEND FIRST OF
SERIES OF STORY-HOURS
Some 15 or 20 youngsters and their
older friends attended the first pub-
lic appearance yesterday afteroon of
the story-telling class conducted by
Mr. R. K. Immel of the Oratory de-
partment. They heard stories about
animals and tin soldiers and cruel
grandfathers.
There will be one more of these
story hours this week on Thursday
afternoon at 4 o'clock and two next
week, Tuesday and Thursday, at the
same hour. The stories next week will
consist of Christmas tales.
These programs are designed espe-
cially for children between the ages
of five and 10, and parents are invit-
ed to send or bring their children to
any or all meetings. They are held
in room 302, Mason hall. No admis-
sion is charged and all interested are
welcome.
French Posters Shown in Library
There are three French Liberty
Loan posters near the entrance of
the reference room of the library.
They have come directly from France
and bear the words in French, "Loan
for National Defence." One of them
shows a grand figure rising above the
horizon with the right hand raised
toward heaven and with the words,
"For the liberty of the world," print-
ed beneath. Another shows the kai-
ser in a kneeling posture with his
enemies rushing triumphantly over
him, bearing their flags. A third rep-
resents a warrior defending his col-
ors against a vulture atacking him,
the bird of prey being obviously the
Hun.
TRACK STARS RETURN TO
ANN AROR FROM SEVC
CROSS, VETERAN OF CHATEAU
THIERRY DRIVE, COMES
BACK
Lieut. Cecil W. Cross, '17, one of
Michigan's most famous track men,
returned to Ann Arbor for a visit,
yesterday, after having spent more
than six months on the western front,
in active service.
Cross engaged in actual fighting on
the western front, taking part in one
of the biggest drives of the year, the
Chateau Thierry drive. In the course
of the engagement, the Michigan man
experienced the effects of gas, which
resulted in his being sent back to the
United States.
Given Honor
However, he was sent back with a
mission, despite the fact that he had
been gassed. He was appointed for
the honor of bringing back to France
a contingent of American soldiers. He
left France on Nov. 10.
Since then he has received orders
that he need not return to France,
following the signing of the armis-
tice.
Cross is one of the first Michigan
men to return from the actual zone
,of battle, to tell the tale. He ex-
pects to receive his discharge from
the service, shortly
Cross was a great admirer of Coac1
Fielding H. Yost of the Michigan
Varsity gridders. Despite the fact that
he never made a Varsity football
team, since his specialty was track
work, he appreciated the hurry-up
man. In letters to friends in Amer-
ica, written from the fighting zone,
he complimented Coach Yost highly.
Cook Returns
Bob Cook, '20, another track man of
the University, returned to the city
yesterday, and will probably enter the
University with the opening of the
second semester.
Cook is a 220 man, and will make
a valuable addition to the Varsity
track squad this year. He won a
letter in the event last year. He was
in training as a cadet in the naval
aviation at Boston Technical Insti-
tute.

SOLDIERS MUST ASSIST IN
SOLVING AFTER WAR PROBLEMS
Section B had its last muster hour
Monday evening in University hall,
when Rev. Lloyd C. Douglas spoke to
the boys on their part in reconstruc-
tion in the days to come. Mr. Doug-
las told them some of the problems
that would confront them upon ther
return to civil life. He spoke of the
recent condition in Flint, and the way
the merchants and townpeople com-
bined to meet it. There were 4,000
men without positions. The grocers
cut down their prices 15 per cent, and
other merchants and factories lower-
ed the working day, to necessitate
employing more men to do the work.
Problems like this will be coming
up before the boys who leave here, he
reminded them, and they must be
ready to meet them. "As you have
been willing to give yourselves for
democracy and service in France, you
should be willing to do the same
here," he said..
