CITI TODAY neluded on Squad That Northwestern and Chicago ES WILL DECIDE UAN'S 1919 STAND ING Remain Undefeated In esent Season'sx '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. men desiring to try out call Harry, Heffner, '20, phone 18. 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. league. Detroit starts the season at home, the Jungaleers playing four games with the Cleveland Indians and then a series with the Chicago White Sox. The Tigers then begin their tour, get- ting their sea legs on the first jour- ney in return series at Cleveland and Chicago.

According to the 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- an team. About 30 contracts have been signed so before the Jungaleers leave Macon, Ga., in April, Hughie will have to use the scythe on nine Our Specialty Rewiring and Installment of Electric Fixtures in the Fraternity Houses and Homes of Ann Arbor All Work Done By Experienced Electricians Washtenaw Eledtric Shop *'The Shop of Quality" I WIEMAN PLAYED ON FARRELL'S ELEVEN r As a lieutenant in the army, Steve Farrell had the job of coaching the crack Ellington flying field eleven which won the championship of the, South after defeating both the Kelly field team and the strong aggrega- tion from Love field.

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. t t me: wh 220 Crv I U When. in Detroit The two Intercollegiate i records ich Michigan holds, the 100 and yard dashes, were made by Ralph aig. we will be glad to show you our line of highest quality clothes.
