Hs
Michigan has a line on the situa-
ion in other colleges in the Confer-
ence and is planning her course of
procedure accordingly, said Coach
Mitchell last night. The coach had a
great deal to say concerning the com-
ng season and Michigan's chances in
he Conference games. While the
schedule has not yet been announced
Dr even definitely settled, he said that
before the Christmas holidays it would
be given out.
ChiiCa me Drawing Card
The Chicago contest should prove
very interesting. The spirit of re-
venge for this fall's defeat is rampant
here and since their team is com-
posed of football men almost entire-
ly, this spirit will be ,embodied right
in the team. It is also important to
note that each of their quintet is .a
reteran, some with two or more years
experience. Their line-up will prob-
ably consist of: Hinckle, Blocke,
Bryan, Long, Gorgas. Spirit, for that
matter is not lacking among Mich-
gan boys. The reason is that Mich-
gan suffered two severe basketball de-
feats at the hands of the Maroons last
year.
Illinois, according to the latest, have
four veterans and a strong last year's
fresh team to pick from. Ingwerson,
naptain of the. All-Conference football
team and Kopp, All-Conference full-
back, are members of the quintet, and
it is upon ,these two stars that the
hopes of Illinois for championship this
year are hung. Illinois is very con-
ldent and thinks that her representa-
tion will be invincible.
No Vets at Wisconsin
Wisconsin, championsrlast year.
have not a single veteran back but
excellent material and a promising
squad on hand, according to reports.'
This inexperience will be a great
handicap and will be almost impossi-
ble to overcome.
Minnesota will have two veterans on
the squad and have high hopes for the
season. Gillen, All-Conference man is
the star to whom they have hitched
their wagon and rightly, too, for this
man's brilliancy astounded every one
last year.
No definite information can be se-
cured from Northwestern. Although
the coach is certain that Gessler, an
excellent center, is still with them.
Michigan's squad is increasing dailyI
in numbers. Arthur Loring, former
All-Fresh center, is . the latest addi-
tion and is in promising form. Loren
is a good shot and is good guard mate-
rial..
GREAT LAKES FIVE
PLANS BIG SEASON
The Great Lakes naval trainingf
station will put into the field this
winter a basketball team that may
match in reputation the eleven that
represented the sailors this fall. John-
son and Felmley of last year's team
are the only old men remaining, but
they are reinforced by a string of Big
Ten stars. Chandler, center of last
year's Wisconsin champs; Kircher of
Illinois; Eklund of Minnesota; Paddy
Driscoll of Northwestern.
Chandler is also managing the team.
He has scheduled four games with
Conference teams, beginning Dec. 28,
with Wisconsin; at Great Lakes, and
including Illinois and Northwestern,
and probably Minnesota. Early in
February the team will make a swing
through Iowa. Later in the month
they will go east to meet Rutgers and
Annapolis, among other teams.
The sailors meet the Rayls in De-
troit on Jan. 31. The athletic man-
agement has said nothing as to, the
possibility of a Maize and Blue tangle
with the gobs. Illinois plays in Ann
Arbor, Saturday, Feb. 1, but a game
with the Great Lakes could probably
be scheduled for Thursday, Jan. 30.
Such a game would be highly popular
with the student body.
MICHIGAN STAR HIGH JUMPER
RETURNS TO SCHOOL AND TEAM
Victor Simmons ex-'18, one if Mich-
igan's former track stars, returned
to the city yesterday, and announced
that he will enter the running for a
place on the track team, this year.
Simmons has just been discharged
from active duty as an ensign on the
Battleship Rhode Island.
Simmons was formerly one of the
best high jumpers thatthe Maize and
Blue had boasted of. He will be elig-
ible for intercollegiate work this year.
His record is six feet, one and one-
half inches, made in the meet with
Illinois last year.
Pennsylvania is finding difficulty
in awarding letters to their football
men according to the Pennsylvanian.
They will not be announced until aft-
er the Christmas vacation.
OUTDOOR TRACK TO BE
USED By TRACK MEN
TEMPORARY FLOOR IN GYMNAS-
IUM REMOVED; LOCKERS
READY FOR MEN
With an outdoor track at the dis-
posal of the track team, workouts for
the short trousered men will star as
soon as a sufficient number of candi-
dates appear to make the workout
,practical, Captain Sedgwick of the
track squad announced last night.
The temporary floor in Waterman
gymnasium has been torn out comn-
pletely, and the track will soon be in
condition for indoor workouts. Train-
er May is at the gymnasium office
practically all day, ready to assign
lockers to all men who wish to try
out for the team.
Can Build Strong Squad
Sedgewick is of t'ie opinion that
with a good showing of material, a
good team can be produced for any
meets that the athleticsassociation
may arrange for. The star distance
man and head of of runners, is him-
self, one of the best track men the
University has seen.
Besides his record for the five mile
cross country run, he has establish-
ed his best time for the indoor mile,
as 4:27. This record was made last
year in Waterman gymnasium, when
the Maize and Blue met the Chicago
track team.
As long as the weather permits, the
wooden track between the gymnasium
and the Medical building will be kept
warm by the steady work of the short
trousered artists. The track, accord-
ing to Sedgewick, is in good condition,
and will make an ideal place for the
men to train. 4
Must Be Well Clothed
Trainer May is rather particular
about his proteges, however, and wish-
es it borne in mind that all men who
expect to take the outdoor workout,
will have to provide themselves with
woolens, that they may not subject
themselves to rheumatism.
Candidates are asked to report to
him at the earliest possible time, that
they may be assigned lockers.
Illinois is out for the basketball
championship; they say, and with Tug
Wilson back, they figure that their
chances for the honor are strong.
Wilson is one of their old quintet
men, and plays center.
Swimming is occupying the time of
the sport fans at Indiana University,
with an intramural meet being staged
there this week. Don Warren a man
from Michigan is a recognized star
in the sport at the university.
Nebraska has cancelled the game
she had tentatively scheduled with
Indiana for next fall. But the Corn-
huskers will have Iowa Ames, Mis-
souri, Kansas, Notre Dame and Syra-
cuse to face anyway.
For the first time in some years
the Missouri Valley Conference open-
ed its doors Saturday and enlarged
its membership. The new school is
Grinnel College, of Iowa. Nebraska,
Ames; Missouri, Kansas, Drake, Wash-
ington, and the Kansas Aggies were
the old members.
