BUCKEYES BANK ON OFFENSIVE
STYLE WITH HEAVY PERSONNEL
Veterans on Opposing Teams to Fight
for Supremacy in
Conference
Michigan's Varsity five has reached
the climax of its 1919 career. The
practices and, games with Ohio State
and Chicago the last part of this
week are the most momentous of the
season. The opportunity has arrived
to make a showing that will put Michi-
gan well up in the Conference list and
establish for the University a reputa-
tion that will sustain her for some
years.
L ast night's practice consisted of
only a slight workout and basket
shooting, this type being selected for
the purpose of giving the squad a rest
before tonight's game..
Match Will Be Exciting
The match should furnish plenty of
excitement for the fans. Ohio is com-
ing up here with the idea of playing
an entirely offensive game. This type
of open playing has been the Buck-
eye's favorite style for years. This al-
most always assures a large final
score, The opposite kind will be wit
nessed tomorrow night with Chicago,
who t pla a strictly defensive game
and depend entirely on long shots for
scoring.
Ohio put it oyer Michigan last year
to the tune of 34 to 27. All five of the
team are last year's veterans and,
since three of Michigan's line-up took
part in the game last season, the bat-
tie tonight gives the Maize and Blue
warriors a chance to get their re-
venge.
Ohio Squad Is Heavy
The Ohio squad is said to be decid-
jdly heavy and although they are per-
haps a trifle slow on account of this
Fact, it may be considered an advan-
tage in the kind of offensive and open
game which they play. Their lead last
year was due largely to the advantage
acquired by the success of their tip-
off plays. Coach Mitchell prepared
hisrteam againstna repetitionnthis
year. Foul shooting was also one of
the points in which they outclassed
Michigan. To offset this special atten-
tion has been paid to the drilling of
Karpus and Hewlett on this decidedly
important phase of the game. Hew-
lett, especially, has developed an accu-
racy that should be rather disconcert-
ing to the Ohio coach.'
The breaking of the tie in percent-
ages will be another feature of to-!
night's game. Both Michigan and Ohio
stand with one game won out of four
played.
Coach Mitchell Confident
Coach Mitchell is confident of a fav-
orable outcome of the game. It is true
that the two teams are, in reality, not
of the same rating. Michigan has
made a much more creditable showing
in all of her games. The loss of sev-
eral contests to some of the strongest
teams of the Conference by narrow
margins, and these losses nearly al-
wys on foreign floors, gives the Wol-
verines a reputation that Ohio has not
acquired.
Ohio, on the other hand, has won
from Indiana by the score of 22 to 21
and later lost to the same team by a
score of 37-21. Then the defeat of the
Ohioans at the hands of Purdue by a
score of 42 to 20 and by the Illini
squad with a total of 25 to 20, make
the close observer soon realize that the
percentage column does not always
express the true state of affairs.
Tonight's match promises an inter-
esting evening for the Wolverines in
spite of the dope seemingly in their
favor. Coach Mitchell will try and
save the strength of his men for the
game with Chicago tomorrow night,
which will be undoubtedly the hardest
contest of the Maize and Blue season.
FEW BATTLING MEN OUT
FOR INDOOR PRACTICES
MANY OLD PLAYERS BACK BUT
HARDLY ANY WORKING
YET
A call has been issued for try-
outs for the position of assist-
ant baseball manager. All can-
didatesshouldgreport at the gym
on Friday between 1:30 and
2:30 o'clock.
Baseball battery practice in the
gym is not bringing out enough new
material. All of last year's Varsity
men on the campus now have shown
up and workouts have been progress-
ing well but many more candidates
are needed.
Battery Men Few
Parks, Schiedler and Kimball are
showing good form in the box, and Hu-
ber, one of the few catchers who have
come out so far, is getting into shape
nicely. Froemke, who played his
freshman year but was ineligible last
spring, is also making good headway
toward the backstop position. Morri-
son, last year's star catcher and
heavy hitter, is in the University, but
as yet has not appeared on the floor.
Captain Knode, who is taking charge
of the practice until Coach Lundgren
returns, is not satisfied with the num-
ber of men out. "Just because some
of the old players are back is no rea-
son to believe that their berths are
cinched," the little shortstop said yes-
terday. "There may be considerable
shifting of the infield and the garden
positions and there is unlimited oppor-
tunity this spring for new material,
especially mound men."
Lundgren to Be Here Soon
Coach Lundgren will be in Ann Ar-
bor Saturday or Sunday and the call
for all positions will be issued Mon-
day. It would be advisable for all in-
tending to come out to get over to the
gymnasium and limber up, as the in-
door preliminary practice is in a large
measure for the purpose of condition-
ing the squad. Those who cannot
come out from 1 to 3 o'clock may come
any time. in the afternoon.
FRANCE SECURES
BIG ALLIED MEET,
France, in May or June, will be the
scene of the greatest Olympic meet the
world has ever known, according to
the Stars and Stripes.
With the sanction of the French gov-
ernment the commander-in-chief of
the A. E. F. has sent out invitations
to the 21 countries associated with the
United States in the war. In addition
to making this the finest meet in the
history of athletics it is thought that
such a contest will go far in strength-
ening the bonds of understanding now
existing between these nations.
An ideal place to hold the meet has
been found in Colombes stadium, site
of the 1900 Olympic, located 14 meters
from Paris. The excellent track in-
sures fast time and the large field pro-
vides ample space for baseball and
football games.
Two delegates from each army will
probably be asked to join the small
advisory committee that is to be ap-
pointed by the chief athletic officer of
the American army. This council will
be the final authority on all matters
in connection with the games.
A long letter has been sent by Gen-
eral Pershing to the various govern
nients inviting them to participate I:
this meet. Any officer or man in th
armies will be eligible to compete. In
dividual and team prizes have alread
been secured.
