M °J ' -- vri Pick-Ups 42 . aa.w .s NBIT N TEAMS king Venganoce for Foot- at, Will Give Michigan Hard Fight RENCE FIVES TO BE RENGTHENED BY OLD MEN onsin Alone, to Start Without Single Veteran; Good New Material Season 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.
