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.

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.

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.. S. A. T. C.
