MICHIGAN TO PLAY
FARMERS TONIGHT
Coach Mitchell Expects Second
From Aggies for Present
Seasoni
Win
BORNSTEUN TO START GAME
AT ONE FORWARD POSITION
In final preparation for the M. A.
C. match tonight, Coach Mitchell sent
his basketeers through a mild drill
accompanied by a chalk talk, Thurs-
day evening. The team has been
working in good form and the coach
wished to save the strength of his
men for the Aggie contest and the
Conference game with Northwestern
on Saturday night.
The Wolverine regulars have stead-
ily perfected their system of defense.
Much time has been spent in tighten-'
ing up the old weakness in basket
tossing and there is every reason to
believe that this improvement will be
turned into counts against the Farm-
ers.
Both Teams Strong
Both Michigan and M. A. C. are un-
usually strong on defense which will
necessitate the use of long shots on
both sides in order to add up a large
total.
The Lansing representatives make
constant use of the short overhead
pass while rushing down the court
and in case of losing possession of
the ball, fall back into irss defense.
This whirlwind style' of attack on the
part of the visitorsinsures an active
tussle.
Michigan will start the battle with
its regular lineup with the exception
of Hewlett who will be replaced by
Bornstein. Hewlett has not been
strong physically this season and
Coach Mitchell is saving him for the
match with the Purple on the follo-x
ing evening.
Snider and Kurts Stars .
M. A. C. brings its regular five
wvhich has fought as a unit throughout
the season. Snider at forward and
Kurtz at guard are the prominent
stars of the Green and White outfit.
Palms, the other forward, has estab-
lished a reputation as an accurate
foul thrower and it will be remember-
ed that his ability in this line was
partly responsible for the close score
which resulted when the Maize and
Blue met the Farmers at Lansing
three weeks ago.
The match tonight will start
promptly at 7:30 o'clock to allow the
fans to get out in time for the Spot-
light vaudeville at Hill auditorium.
The gpirit of revenge will enter the
Aggies' efforts to win and while Coach
Mitchell expresses confidence in the
Wolverines, the tight game at Lans-
ing with the score of 19 to 17 in-
sures a hard scrap this evening. No
preliminary will be played.
The lineups will be: Michigan -
Bornstein and Karpus, forwards; Mc-
Clintock, center; Rychner and Wil-
liams, 'guards. For M. A.. C.-Snider
and Palm, forwards; Forster, cen-
ter; Kurtz and Garrett, guards.
INITIAL FRESHMAN TRACK
WORKOUT HELD WEDNESDAY
TEAM READY FOR
rNOTRE DAME MEET
All is in readiness for the first in-
door track meet of the present season,
which takes place in Waterman gym-
nasium Saturday afternoon when the
Notre Dame squad will try conclu-
sion with Coach Farrell's athletes.
It is believed that little trouble will
be encountered by the Wolverines in
coming through on the long end of
the score. The whole team is on edge
after the many weeks of hard pre-sea-
son work and are looking forward
with enjoyment to their first encoun-'
ter.
The meet is being held in the aft-
ernoon rather than in the evening as
usual because of the basketball game
between Michigan and Northwestern.
Saturday night. This will be the first
indoor meet that has taken place dur-
ing the day, in the local! gymnasium,
for several years.
120 Army Trucks Pass Through City
One hundred and twenty new army
trucks travelled through Ann Arbor
enroute to Chicago during the past
three days, travelling in caravans of
40 each. The drivers, two to each
truck, were billeted at the Armory.
In 1896 Michigan defeated Lehigh
in football by a score of 40 to 0.
PURPLE CONFIDENT
OF COURT VICTORY
Evanston, Ill., Feb. 27.-The North-
western quintet is not looking for
much of a battle from the Michigan
five according to reports from court
circles here today. Despite the fact
that the Maize and Blue easily
triumphed over the Ohio state five, and
despite the fact that the Maroons al-
most lost to them the following night,
the Purple quintet is still resting
easy.
Michigan has but one hope, accord-
ing to the men on the Purple team,
and that is a considerable improve-t
ment in their basket shooting.
Northwestern now ranks third place
in the Conference. The steady work
of the Purple team, however, leads
them to believe that they can run up
another notch as soon as one of the
leaders loses a contest.
They are counting upon the game
at Ann Arbor Saturday to strengthen
their standing.
Michigan's football team in 1903
scored 564 points to the opponents' 6.
Twelve games were played.
The University of Pennsylvania re-
lays will be held April 26 this year.

First regular practice for freshmen
track candidates in the gymnasium
rought out 50 men Wednesday aft-
ernoon. The men were put through
some preliminary work. Coach Farrell
will be unable to give them much at-
tention until after the Notre Dame
meet.,
Moersch, Ensel, Cyrsz, and Dunne
are the most promising of the try-
outs. Moersch does the 100 in 10 1-5.
Ensel runs the 440 in fair time and
should develop into a good man. Dunne
and Czysz are doing well with' the
weights. On account of the Confer-
ence ruling the team will not com-
pete with outside teams. There will
be a freshmen track meet in the near
future to select the best men.
The three men on last year's Var-
sity baseball team that made Ecker-
sall's All-Western intercollegiate nine
were Ruzicka, Adams, and Knode.
Coach Yost considers Tom Ham-
mond, '04, the best fullback that has
ever worn a Maize and Blue jersey.
