COACH AND VETERANS
FSTRENGTHEN MOONS
PRODUCT OF CHICAGO BUILDS
QUINTET FOR ALMA
MATER
Chicago's big Maroon quintet is
playing a classy game of basketball
this season, as the Conference stand-
ing testifies. Much of the success is
due to an abundance of veteran mate-
rial but a large part must be credited
to their coach, Pat Page, who is him-
self a product of the old school of
Maroon sport.
In 1906, the year after the memor-
lable 2 to 0 game, H. O. Page, as the
official cataloguer knew him, appeared
at the Midway institution. Freshmen
were eligible at that time, and he
proceeded to win a place on all four
of the major sport teams. In suc-
ceeding years he dropped track but
still had thirteen "C's" to his credit
when he graduated in 1910. He had
played in the backfield in football,
guarded in basketball, and pitched
winning baseball.
Most basketball coaches have an
athletic record as players. Of the
four years on the Maroon basketball
teams, Page was All-Conferencd
guard three. Those were the palmy
days of Chicago athletics, when they
won western titles, and met and de-
feated Columbia for the national
championship. The 1919 team is the
first: real first class five that Chicago
has had since that time.
Page has been busy since his grad-
uation coaching the teams of his alma
mater. In football he acts as assist-
ant to A. A. Stagg, but he has com-
plete charge of thebbasketball and
baseball squads. Rumor has it that
when in the process of time the Old
Indian has to retire, Pat Page will
succeed him at the head of, Maroon
athletics._
BASEBALL SQUAD
LACKS RECRUITS
On ,the basis that veteran material
makes a winning team, the 1919 base-
ball season should be unequaled by
any in the history of the sport at
Michigan. Varsity men who have left
the University to enter service during
the last two years are returning every
week.
Ex-captain Glenn will form the nu-
cleus for a staff of mound men that
look like world beaters and Tommy
Adams is on deck to cover the initial
sack. Tom Garret, a seasoned second
baseman, and Van Boven, who joined
the colors last spring, will compete for
the keystone sack position. Shorty
Mraz can be counted on for third base.
Langenham and Cooper as gardeners
will make the backbone of the out-
field.
At present the practice has been at-
tended for the most part by old men
only. Captain Knode is anxious to get
recruits to tryout and states that the
opportunity is good especialy in the
mound and backstop positions.
There is a general call for candi-
dates for all locations and the first ofi-
cial practice will be held from 1 to 3
o'clock on Monday afternoon in Wat-
erman gymnasium.
WOLVERINES LOSE
TO CHICAGO 25 - 22
(Continued from page one)
The crowd that turned out for the
battle was the largest seen at a bas-
ketball game this year. Stands were
built on all sides of the court and they
were filled to capacity, with many
spectators standing.
Chicago Still Unbeaten
Chicago is one of the two unbeaten
teams of the Conference. They with
Minnesota have gone through this
season thus far without a single de-
feat, usually winning their games by
substantial margins. In both games
that Michigan has met the Maroons,
they have played them to a close fin-
ish. In the clash tonight Coach
Mitchell's men seemed to outplay their
opponents throughout the majority of
the battle. Instead of a discouraging
defeat, the game with the Midway five
in Waterman gymnasium last night re-
solved itself into- a promise for a
winning team in the near future.

Side Lights
Michigan started and ended the scor-
ing with Rychener putting the pill
through the ring first for a counter,
while Borinstein finished, making his
attempt count two.
"He may be a little man but he sure
can play," says everybody who saw
Burkhoff perform for the Maroons. He
was fast.
Two field goals, and the game would
have been Michigan's, but the Wolver-
ines are still a little weak on their
basket shooting.
Breaking a watch may not sound
like the work of a basketball referee,
but when the timekeeper's Big Ben in-
terferes with the progress of the game,
why smash it up!
The Maroons played a wonderful
game, it's a- fact, but some of them
were at least three inches taller than
any Michigan man.
When Borinstein went into the game
for Rychener, the Maroons thought
they'd slip one over on Michigan, and
block the time out, but Coach Mitchell
knows the game of basketball too.
They didn't.
Hinkle played a guard position for
the visitors, but he could- shoot bas-
kets too. He started the scoring for
Chicago.'
Despite the fact that they are lead-
ers of the Conference in the five man
game, the Michigan quintet made the
40 minutes of actual play pretty warm
for them, making the count, 25-22.
The undefeated Maroons were near-
er defeat last night than at any time
this season. Who says that the Mich-
igan team isn't there?
INTEROLAS ATHLETES
HOLD VARSITY A5 GOAL
FOUR YEARS TEST AT
SHOWS NECESSITY
OPERATION
MICHIGAN
OF CO-
That efficient interclass sports are
directly dependent on Varsity athlet-
ics and cannot be substituted success-
fully for the latter, is the conclusion
drawn by the Athletic association
from the experience of Michan dur-
ing the past four years including the
war period.
The trend of opinion at the meeting
of the National Collegiate association
last December in New York, demanded
universial athletic training in colleges
and a gradual departure from inter-
collegiate in favor of Antramural
games. During this movement the
experience of Michigan is particular-
ly significant.
Michigan Starts System
The advantage of a more general
participation in athletics has been.
recognized by the University for some
years and for this reason Mr. P. 0.
Barthelme as athletic director was
given control in 1913 of all sports with
the stipulation to organize and stimu-
late interclass activity. This new
program was carried out in complete
co-o'peration with the intercollegiate
policy at a time when Michigan's Var-
sity held a full schedule of games
with East and West in all branches
of sport.
During the year of 1913-14 the plan
received the hearty support of the
students and records show a total
of 1,812. participants in class contests.
The following year witnessed an in-
crease to 2,314 and the 1915-16 sea-
sons boosted the number to 2,424 of
men who took active part in intra-
mural sports.
War Stops Itercollegiates
Following our entry into the world
war in the spring of 1917, came the
halt in Varsity sport and the cancella-
tion of a 26 game intercollegiate base-
ball schedule. Track suffered like-
wise and the squad was forced to give
up seven meets while tennis was com-
pletely discontinued and all matches
abandoned. All coaches were desert-
ed and thus were able to turn their
attention to the respective divisions
of the interclass department and in-
side athletics received more interest
from the promoters than ever before.
However, even this added impetus
was unable to save the organization
from a bad slump.
While admitting the distraction on
account of the war period and the
centering of interest temporarily on
international events, Mr. Barthelme
also pointed to lack of intercollegiate
sport as an added cause of the sudden
downfall of the intramural program
in spite of his own extra effort and
that of the coaches. The big incen-
tive had been removed and had car-
ried with it the enthusiasm for inside
games of all sorts.
Added Effort Fails
In comparison with the '21 class
baseball teams entered in 1915-16
only 16 were recruited for the 1917
tourney. Track in that year was
practically -wiped out and in tennis
where 296 students had competed the
previous year only 192 made an ap-
pearance.
All discussion and employment of
new methods on the part of the ath-
letic director and the coaches to draw
more men into class activity in sports
failed and the decrease in players was
estimated at about 38 per cent. It is
the opinion of Mr. Barthleme that in-
terclass athletics can never be satis-
factorily established without the goal
of intercollegiate participation as a
possibility and incentive for the cam-
pus athletes. It is his belief that
hopes for a berth on the Varsity some
day are the underlying motives for the
effort and persistency which feature
successful inside sport.
VETERANETRAINER
TO RESUME POST
The statement that Harry Tuthill,
veteran athletic trainer, had signed a
contract to care for the 1919 Michi-
gan football team, was confirmed yes-
terday by Director Philip G. Bar-
telme. This will make the third sea-
son that Tuthill has looked after the
condition of the Maize and Blue ath-
letes.
Harry Tuthill came to Michigan in
the fall of 1917, to watch over the
Yostmen. He was with the Ferry field
athletes again last fall. His success
as a trainer has been shown by the
evident splendid condition in which
the members of the elevens played,
and by the scarcity of substitutions on
account of injuries. His reappoint-
ment is another step toward a success-
ful team next fall.
Before coming to Michigan, Tuthill
trained the West Point athletes for a
number of years. In the intervals be-
tween the gridiron seasons he acts as
trainer for the Detroit Tigers. Dur-
ing the war his special ability was
recognized by the government, and he.
was given a commission as first lieu-
tenant, to supervise the condition of
the men of Selfridge field, at Mt. Clem-
ens.
UNIVELRSITY OF PENNSYLVANIA
TO HOLD POST-WAR CARNIVAL
Plans for the twenty-fifth annual
carnival of the University of Pennsyl-
vania, which will be held at Franklin
field on April 25 and 26, are rapidly
nearing completion. It is the first
out door meet. since the war ended
and the management expects the larg-
est entry, lists in its history.
Many invitations have been sent out
and most of the large colleges of the
East and middle West have accepted
and are getting relay aggregations
into shape. Although definite word
has not been received from Oxford,
Cambridge, the University of South-
ern California, and the University of
Washington, it is understood that they
will be represented.
