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. Daily Want ads bring results.

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. I . usrrat~ a re Il 1.11g Under the Auspices of ": . ' :.
