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. Summaries: Michigan Pos.

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.
