NIGHTS Of REST
COACh
MITCHELL TRYING
FIND SUBS FOR
TEAMa
TO
Coach Mitchell put the Varsity
through the same sort of practice last
night as took place Monday. He is
carrying out his plan of giving the
boys a rest to the letter. The whole
.evening was- spent in perfecting the
fundamentals of passing, basket shoot-
ing, and team work; and the change
seems to have a good effect on the
team. They have developed a pep and
a spirit that they were beginning to
lose under the heavy strain of scrim-
mage practices.
Scrimmage with Yearlings
The coach is putting those men on
the first squad who are trying to land
permanent positions to scrimmages
with the freshmen. He hopes to se-
lect substitutes from them through
his observation of practice this week.
One interesting selection will be that
of center. The competition between
Cohn and Loring is keen and, as one
must retire in favor of the other
soon, there are many wild surmises
made as to how the coach feels about
these two.
He will not commit himself further
than to say that the form that each
displays next Friday and Saturday
nights will count a great deal.
Three Courts Used
Practice on the new court in the
Waterman gymnasium is very inter-
esting to watch these days. There are
three, separate and distinct courts and
three different games may be in full
swing at the same time. The Varsity
is now using the center one with the
freshman teams at either end. At the
first part of the season the team was
compelled to practice on the high
school gym floor and this had many
disadvantages. The squad is just
beginning now to be familiar with its
new surroundings, whch is necessary
if they are to secure the customary
advantage of playing on the "home
floor."
Work on Shirts for Patients to Begin
Work on shirts for hospital pa-
tients will be started next semester
by the Women's league. As these
garments must be made, all who are
able to sew are urged to inquire about
the work.

the Conference baseball champion-
ship. After counting eight Varsity
men back, with three wearers of the
"A. M. A.," and promising additions
from the freshman squad of last
year, the feeling is highly optimis-
tic.
When Coach Lundgren returns late
in February he will find two of the
old pitching- staff waiting for him.
Bob Glenn, captain of the 1918 team,
is in, school. He says that his arm
jhas recovered from its injuries of
last year. Nick Scheidler, who won
an "A. M. A." last' spring, has been
in the University all year, having
gathered in another "A. M. A." under
Yost last-fall. Kimball and Jewell of
last year's yearling nine, are with us,
look after his old place at second.
Kenneth Knode, much better known
as Mike, the captain of the 1919 team,
has been on the campus all year,
piloting the football aggregation while
not otherwise engaged at the home-
opathic hospital. Edward, "Shorty,"
Mraz, the peppy third baseman, is in
the army somewhere in the U. S. A.,
but will be back in school.
The outfield list is headed by Coop-
er, who has been in the University all
year. Genebach was largely used in
this position last spring. Ohlmacher,
though in school, has his degre, so
has passed from athletics. Bowerman
and Langehan are two "A. M. A."
men who should be of considerable
assistance in the gardens. Bowerman
can also aid at first.

also played football last fall, should

was a twinkling infielder, but unfor-
tunately he is not back in school.

ent he is somewhere in France. With
the fighting reputation of the marines,
it seems improbable'that Rusie would
be discharged in time to return to
Michigan by the beginning of the next
semester.
The other end of the battery ques-
tion looks rosy, too. Morrison, the
1918 regular, is very much in school,
having romped into a place with Mr.
Yost's team last fall. His last year's
alternate, Genebach, left when the S.
