FORE UNIV. OF DETROIT GAME FRIDAY The Varsity basketball team was put through an intense practice and drill on the fundamentals of passing, basket shooting, and team work last night. Coach Mitchell has decided that a direct reverse from the hard form of practice scrimmaging, is nec- essary. He is giving the Varsity boys a rest and at. the same time is em- phasizing some important phases of the work that have not been taken up as yet. Some time was spent on per- fecting pivot dodging. Working Up Substitutes Only those on the Varsity squad, who have not had the opportunity to get into any of the recent games, took part in a scrimmage with the freshmen ,last night. "I want to see how some of these boys will show. up in. action and work up a good string of substitutes," said the coach, Kazoo Game Significant , Next Saturday's game will give Michigan a line on what her chances are for a victory in the M. A. C. and Conference games. The Maize and the Blue will play Kalamazoo on that night. The Kazooers held M. A. C. on the Lansing floor to the score of 18-17. Fresh Gridders Form Team An interesting development on the freshman squad is the probable pre- liminary game which, it is planned, will take place just before the Uni- versity of Detroit game Friday. Big '22 Squad Out Fifty-four candidates for the 1922 team are out and of these there are 10 with valuable experience. Coach Rowley has divided the whole turn- out into 10 teams and will eliminate by watching scrimmage games which he will arrange between the teams. The coach was much pleased with the, showing made so far and said that he expects to develop a "whiz of a team." MICHIGAN WILL NOT ENTER BIG WATER MEET AT D. 1. C. WOLVERINES HAVE HEAVY SCHEDULE Coach Lungren's University of Michigan baseball team will open one of the hardest schedules ever com- piled for a Wolverine nine, here April 16, if a suitable game can be found to fill this date which is now open. There are but three open dates on the sched- ule and these are the first three games to be played, all practice games. Six of the nine universities in the Confer- ence excluding Michigan, are included in the schedule, only Minnesota, Wis- consin, and Northwestern not having been signed. Practice will begin shortly after the second semester, Coach Lundgren be- ing expected to arrive within several weeks. Many of last year's cham- pionship team are already back in col- lege or have expressed their inten- tions of returning, and prospects are bright to retain the flag won by Cap- tain Glen's nine of last spring.

Yesterday1 they reported that there had been a+ change of mind and one would be ap- pointed in a few days to act in this capacity for the home games. He will be included in the basketball picture and possibly be given a manager's cap at the end of the year, but will ac- company the team on none of its trips. The reason for this is the poor financial condition of the Athletic as- sociation. The original announcement that there would be no manager was re- ceived with some misgiving upon the campus. This position had been a part of all athletics for many years back and to do away with it in any sport would be to take away from the student body what they have come to look upon as an inalienable right. It would also have caused the coach- ing staff considerably more work and would have tended towards ineffi- ciecny. Coach Would Have More Work Because it would be taking some- thing away from the student body that they believe is their own, because it would tend towards inefficiency of management, and because it would pile up more work upon the should- ers of Coach Mitchell, who already has his hands full in producing a winning team from a scarcity of ma- terial, it is probably fortunate that the authorities have changed their mind. The man picked will be giving up the enjoyment of the many trips which have been the right of all man- agers for the little honor and the hard work that remain. Surely he de- serves much credit for accepting such a position. D. A. C. TO HOLD SWIMMING TOURNAMENT; STARS ENTER The swimming tourney to be held at the D. A .C. in the near future will be one of the biggest meets of its kind ever held in Detroit. The big auto- city pool will be the scene of many hotly contested events, for a great number of the most brilliant aquatic stars of the country are entered. The meet is being supervised by the A. A. U., and men, women, and children are eligible. Light practice for all the men con- tinued under the direction of Steve Farrell yesterday afternoon. Jumping rope was one of the most popular forms of limbering up and most of those reporting for the first time yes- terday or Monday found the suppos- edly girlish pastime quite a -help in rounding into form. Se--ral Old Men Out Captain Sedgewick and Jchnson were both on the track for a while in the afternoon and within no time they will be in shape to cop a few firsts in their respective events. An- other man whose ability is well known to the followers of last year's track team, Buell, was also out. Meese, a sprinter on the freshman , team last year, was out and gives considerable promise. Cook, another sprinter with a reputation from last year, has not reported yet, but he is expected some time the end of the week. Few Men for Distant Events There is ;a gr~eat scarcity of men for the mile and the half mile which ups noticeable yesterday. The plac- es occupied by Donnelley and Stohl are vacant this year and in order to complete and balance the team it is necessary to find men of ability for these events. Not only are the places in the distance races vacant but also the positions, on the relay team. It is hoped that the near future will bring out some men who are able to fill these desirable positions suitably. As yet_ nothing can be found out about the schedule for this season but the practice will continue just as regularly as if the first meet was only a few days off. Daily want ads tring results.

"Michigan will not send a team to the big water 'meet at the D. A. C.," Doc. May said today. "Beca'use the University has no tank for the boys to practice in we cannot be repre- sented." .Although there are plenty of aquatic fans to get up a good team; there is no honor in being beaten and Doc. says he won't enter a relay four unless he has "Just as good a chance of winning as the other fellow. The meet is to be the biggest ever held in Detroit and the big club pool will be the scene of many hotly con- tested events for the shining lights of swimdom are slated. Coach Mann of the D. A. C. wanted Michigan }o send a relay quartette. This lack of a tank on the campus touched a sore spot with Doctor May. When the Union pool is finished It "will help matters some but it won't fill the bill in many ways that a natatorium in connection with the gym would. The Doctor's air castles take the shape of a tank 100 feet long, from four to 12 feet deep, and a 12 foot fancy diving stand. He would have plenty of floor space with permanent bleachers to hold 500 to a 1,000 and an illuminated "M" in the bottom of the pool for night meets.
