'Race
Eight men were included on the
Wolverine basketball squad which left
with Coach Mitchell yesterday for the
week-end invasion of Chicago and
Evanston. The plan to send the team
in the evening was changed and the
squad left Anni Arbor in the early aft-
ernoon.
The regular combination of Hew-
lett, Karpus, Cohn, Rychener and Wil-
Lams which has proved a good bet
thus far this season, forms the back-
bone of the Maize and Blue force and
will probably work against both of
the Conference five scheduled. These
men are all in good form and with
the teamwork displayed in the last
two matches should worry any oppon-
ent.
Three Subs With Team ,
WVilson, Weiss, and Cress accompan-
ied the party in substitute capacity.
All three have had experiencse on the
court this season and form a very
able emergency trio.
Michigan stands at present as one
of the three undefeated Conference
teams, Chicago and Minnesota having
also kept a clean record to date. The
Wolverines having had but one Big
Ten match this season, the tussles
with Chicago and Northwestern will
give an important sounding as to the
calibre of the association and the rela-
tive strength of Coach Mitchell's ag-
gregation.
Team Has Developed Speed
After the exhibition with Indiana last
Monday the chances for a double win
seem good. The regular quintet has
been developing speed and teamwork
consistently and left yesterday aft-
ernoon not with a spirit of over con-
fidence but in good shape and with the
old fight, a substantial backing.
The afternoon departure will give'
more time tand rest to the players be-,
fore the game with Chicago tonight
and will undoubtedly help the condi-
tion of the squad materially for the
contest with Northwestern tomorrow.
Colini Should Star
Cohn at center is expected to do his
regular good work on the floor, while'
Williams and Rychener, who perform-'
ed unusually well against Indiana,
should hold down the score. Against
Chicago, at the Windy City, the Wol-
verines have one of their hardest
fights of the season. The lyaraons
have a five composed of veterans, both
of their 1918 quintet and of men re-
turned from the service. Chicago is
looked upon as the probable winner of
the Conference title.
The game at Northwestern on Sat-
urday will be easier. Northwestern
has been defated by Iowa who in turn
was beaten by Indiana. According to
dope Mitchell's men should have no
trouble with the Purple, but being on
a strange floor and still sustaining
the effects of the fight of the evening
The basketball team will need
a manager next year. This is
an excellent opportunity for
juniors and sophomores. All.

FORMER CHAMPION
TO PERFORM HERE
Ora C. Morningstar, former world's
champion billiardist, will come to
Ann Arbor Jan. 30 for a couple of ex-
hibition matches at Huston Brothers'
parlors in the afternoon and even-
ing probably at 3:30 o'clock and 8
o'clock.
Morningstar was born in Rochester,
Ind., and became fond of billiards by
seeing the game played in his fa-
ther's hotel., He was very anxious
to play and when his father object-
ed he built a home-made table and be-
gan his career in., the wood-shed.
When he was 16 years old he got his
father's consent to play and improv-
ed rapidly on the large table.
Won Second Class Title
The coming star had the fortune
of watching many champions at prac-
tice and his own improvement was
rapid, He finally won the second
class championship in 1903 by defeat-'
ing Tom Gallager and several for-
eign champions. He then made an ex-
hibition tour through the West and
Mexico and then to France, where he
had a chance to watch several of the
French artists who at that time were
the world's best.
Won Championship in 1909
He returned to America in 1907 and
competed for the world's champion-
ship but finished last. In 1909 he
succeeded-in defeating all competi-
tors for the title. This was 18.2 balk-
line and in 1911 he won the 18.1 title
from George Sutton, who had just
won the championship from Willie
Hoppe. He kept the 'title for a year
until Willie Hoppe won it from him.
Morningstar has been associated
with the Sweeney-Huston Co. for the
past two seasons. He has been giv-
ing exhibitions daily averaging as high
as 75, with several runs of over 200.
He expects to enter the world's cham-
pionship this year and says that his
greatest desire is to take Hoppe's
scalp.
PRACTICES STEADY BUT
NOTHING EVENTFUL
OCCURRING
WITH
COACH FARRELL FINDS
NO NEW CANDIDATES
Track practice in the past few days
has been as steady as it has been un-
eventful. The few men of exceptional
ability who have been appearing reg-
ularly are rapidly rounding into con-
dition to carry off afew firsts in any
kind of competition. No new men of
promise havetreported and it is hard-
ly expected that any will come out
until the beginnijng of the second
semester brings many athletes back
to school. Unless the start of the'
new term does help, the outlook, es-
pecially in the weight events, will be
gloomy. ,
Meese and Louks Win Dashes
Wednesday afternoon 'two heats in
the 50 yard dash were run off and
Meese and Louks, two/star dash men
on last year's freshman team, were
the winners.
The shot putting pit was opened for
the second time this year yesterday
afternoon for the pole vault and Cross
vaulted over the bar at 11 feet, which
is the highest seen in Waterman gym
this year.
One Man Out for Weight
Lindstrom was the only one out
for the weight events. As he is a
shot putter the hammer throw and
the discus are still without tryouts.
Sedgewick, Larson and Buell ran
an easy seven laps in good time, but
with a little practice they will prob-
ably be able to cut a few seconds off
their present season's records.

Reducing the number of players
puts a big problem up to Hughie Jen-

new ruling the club roster is limited
to 21 baseballers whereas last year
the pay rool could include 25. With
a minimum string of eoight tossers
this cuts out absolutely all of the sup-
erfluous reserve material and it will
go especially hard with the Tigers be-
cause this year they haven't a veter-

NORTHERN HIGH TO MEET FIVE
FROM LOCAL SCH6OL TONIGHT
Northern high school, of i Detroit,
will send its first and second teams to
play both of the quintets of Ann Ar-
bor high tonight in the gymnasium
of the local school. Coach F. E. Ray-
mond, of Ann Arbor, states that he
does not fear for the outcome, be-
lieving it will result in easy victory.
Ann Arbor high will send the first
team to Toledo tomorrow to meet
Woodward high school in the basket
game. This school has been hamper-
ed by the influenza epidemic and their
mettle has not been put to a severe
test as yet.
Notre Dame Wins First Home Battle
Notre Dame's home season started
with a win from Kalamazoo college,
23 to 12 Wednesday. The game was
well played, Captain Bahan of Notre
Dame shooting five baskets and Reed,
for the losers, three.
FROSH GYM CLASSES
TO BEGIN FEB. 20
Classes in gymnasium work which
is~ required of all freshmen in the en-
gineering and literary colleges will
start Feb. 20. Classification of engi-
neering freshmen for this course will
be taken care of by that college, but
all freshmen lits must enroll in some
class as soon as possible. Gymnasium
work will consist of two one-hour
classes which will be held at 3:15,
4:15, and 5:15 o'clock on Mondays,
Tuesdays, Thursdays, and Fridays.
Al men will be measured and giv-
en development charts, but those who
present evidence that they were in
the S. A. T. C. or naval unit need not
take the physical examination. Exam-
inations for ,all others will be -held
Feb. 3 to Feb. 15.
It is urged that lockers be secured
early to avoid a last minute confu-
sion. Aleady more than 300 have been
given o.t.
It is the intention of the depart-
nent of physical education to con-
tinue voluntary work after spring va-
cation. Those who so desire will be
given the opportunity to go out for
baseball, soft ball, track and other
standard athletics. Material will be
furnished in order to develop more
familiarity with the national sports.
ormer Football Star Is Now Colonel
Tom Hammond, '05, who holds the
fullback position on Yost's All Time
eleven, is now a colonel. He was in
command of the regiment with which
Curtis Redden, '03, who died in France
recently, was connected.
Th, fiist tournament in which Mich-
igan entered was with Northwestern
in 1893. Michigan won both the singl-
es and doubles.
Barney Oldfleld, holder of many
auto records, will .uit the track to
devote his time to a tire m:anufactur-
known players in the country. The
Ellington aggregation boasted "Tad"
Wieman, '19, of Michigan, and Bihl-
man of Stanford as well as repre-
sentatives from many other large col-
leges. "Tad" Wieman was captain of
Michigan's 1918 eleven, and Bihlman,
besides playing a good game of foot-
ball,holds thea national amateur
championship in the shot put.
Steve says that although his men
were handicapped by the flu epidem-
ic, they were loyal and enthusiastic
workers and with a little more prac-
tice might have easily threatened the
strong Great Lakes team. Two other
Michigan men, McHale and Splawn,
were on the defeated Kelly field team.
CONTINUE EXERCISE, ADVISES
FORMER YOST FOOTBALL STAR
"Returning soldiers, do not stop
the exercise you have been accustom-
ed to in the camps," is the advice of
Willie Heston, star of Yost's football
machines in 1902, 1903, and 1904 and
one of the greatest players the grid-
iron game has ever known.
"Exorcise an hour a day, or if the
exercise must be dropped, do it grad-
ually," he says. Heston's reasons for
the statement is that' should the exer-
cise be discontinued, the increased
lung development and well developed
muscles are liable to decay and dis-
ease.
He believes that dumb-bell exercises
and long walks would be the most
beneficial to the returned soldier, be-
cause of the manual of arms and the
long marches to which he has been
accustomed.
Heston makes the suggestions from
his own personal experience.
