Chicago showed its road strength in the last week by two vic- tories on foreign courts, at Iowa City and Ann Arbor. Minnesota is now on a similar trip, playing the southern row of teams. Her game with Purdue last night is not figured in the percentage column above; nor is the Illinois-Ohio State struggle. , Northwestern Close to Leaders Northwestern continues to cling close to the leaders, waiting for one of them to slip. In the last week she won decisively from Purue and Wis- consin. Illinois won her return game with Purdue, sending the Boilermak- ers farther down the list. The strong showing Michigan made in the two games of last week-end raised her to a tie for fifth place in the Confer- ence race. Title May Be Contested The Maroons have three strenuous games before them, invading the Illi- nois and Northwestern strongholds, and ending the season with Wisconsin on the Midway floor. Minnesota has Purdue, Illinois, and iWsconsin still to face. Just what will happen if both teams close the season with a perfect rec- ord is still a question. Followers of the two fives are clamoring for a post season series; but the officials stand of the Conference has always been against such proceedings in the past, BILLIARD HONORS ARE TIED; LEE IS NDEFEATED IN POOL COACH PLANS EASY WEEK OF PRACTICE M. A. C. AND NORTHWESTERN TO FURNISH TOUGH BATTLES FOR TEAM As a reward for the manner in which the Varsity came through last week-end, Coach Mitchell has decided to give his men an easy week of prac- tice. Last night's program consisted mostly of a correction of the mis- takes of which the coach took note during the Chicago match. The squad will be drilled on shooting entire- ly. They have not yet acquired the habit of arching their long shots suf- ficiently. This must be practiced un- til it becomes instinctive during the excitement of a game, and this is what the coach is trying to instill into the boys' heads now. Most of the coming games will be played on floors having glass baseboards so ac- curacy in ahooting and a precise arching of the long shots is all the more necessary. Showing Satisfies Coach Coach Mitchell is quite satisfied with the showing that the team made against Chicago. He has aspired, of course, to beat them, but when it is taken into consideration that the Chi- cago team which stands at the head of the list and has suffered no de- feats, came nearer being beaten by Michigan than any other team of the Conference, it may be said that the Varsity did unusually well. The games for the week-end prom-, ,ise to furnish two decidedly exciting evenings for the basketball fans. M. A. C., who plays here next Friday night, went dowi before Michigan once before this season but by a score of only 19-17. They are coming here with the idea of taking revenge for what they consider a bad luck game, and the Michigan boys are equally determined that the visitors shall be disappointed. Northwestern Strong Rival The game with Northwestern will prove interesting because Michigan was defeated by this team on the Northwestern floor earlier in the sea- son by a score of 17-16. One can well imagine the aspect that game takes on for the Wolverines. It has been reported that the Northwestern team, which is consid- ered to have one of the strong line- ups of the Conference, has improv- ed considerably since the first game with Michigan. But the same can be said of the Maize and .Blue team, so it will still be an even break wth the advantage of playing on the home floor with the Michigan five., 18 DIAMOND MEN APPEAR FOR INITIAL PRACTICE TRYOUTS LIMBER UP FOR BIG COURSE OF TRAINING NEXT WEEKD First regular practice in the gym- nasium' brought out 18 men yester- day afternoon. The work-out was re- stricted to tossing and rollingsthe ball about, tollowed by a few laps on the' track. All this week the work will be more or less on that order, the men getting limbered up and in shape for the more strenuous period to follow. Huber, Parks, Froemke, and Knode all got in some light work . Ed Usher showed up to play catch for a little while but didn't get into a suit. Pat Pheney, the lanky infielder, who did so much to make Michigan's winning team at Fort Sheridan, was out Mon- day for the first time. Coach Lundgrenarrived in Ann Ar- bor Saturday but has gone to Detroit to stay until Wednesday. He will be here for practice Thursday and ex- pects to see every baseball candidate at the gymnasium from 1 to 3 o'clock, on Feb. 27. REFORESTATION IS TO BE BIG TASK Forestry has played one of the most important roles in the winning of the war, and now great reconstruction problems confront the leading author- ities of this science, according to Prof. L. J. Young, of the forestry de- partment. The enormous task of re- planting the devastated forests of France is primarily being undertaken by the forestry branches of the vari- ous Allied armies which are under the supervision of experts in this work. Regiments of foresters have been at work constantly clearing up the fire- scarred ruins of once magnificient forests, now wantonly ruined by the shell fire of the Hun, and vast tracts of land have already been replanted by them. Unofficial information has been received that a few American units ;n this branch of the service have completed the work assigned them and will soon be on their way home. Eligibility Rules Made byLA.A.A. New eligibility rules were passed upon at the meeting of the executive committee of the Intercollegiate Am- ateur Athletic association of Amer- ica in New York a short time ago. It was decided to allow all S. A. T. C. and naval unit men who have con- tinued their work at college without interruption or anyone who left school to enter the service to participate in intercollegiate activities this spring. The restrictions were placed upon this ruling. First, all men who were discharged before Jan. 6, must have reported to their colleges by that date. Second, those who were kept in ser- vice after Jan. 6, must have reported within three weeks after their dis- charge. Third, all must at least be registered by April 1. These rules have no bearing on the Western Conference but practically the same rules apply here although no definite dates before which stu- dents must have reported have been set.
