AND OHIO
END
The end of the 1919 basketball sea-
son is at hand!
Michigan's Varsity basketball team
will conclude the present season with
a three-day trip south to line up
against Illini, Ohio, and Indiana, all
of which teams the Wolverines have
become well acquainted with earlier
in the year. Many Ann Arbor fans
did not realize that the last oppor-
tunity that they would have to see the
Varsity in action was during the last
week-end during the M. A. C. and
Northwestern contests.
Drill on Long Shots
The coming trip is going to be un-
usually hard. Coach Mitchell is giv-
ing his men light practices this week
in order to conserve their strength
for the wearying Journey. Practice
last night consisted mostly of a drill
in basket shooting by the regulars,
with special attention paid to long
shots, as this is one phase of the
game in which the team is still in need
of practice.
This weakness, if it can be termed
such, will be brought out particular-
ly by the type of baskets which the
squad will run up against in the next
three games. All of the courts on
which they will play are equipped with
the new glass type of baskets. This
pattern of hoops calls for more accu-
racy in shooting than the kind to
which the Varsity is accustomed.
Arching of long shots is absolutely
essential. "Hit the ceiling" is what
the coach is trying to impress upon
the minds of the men.
In spite of the fact that the reg-
ulars are getting a complete rest, the
subs are hard at work. A scrimmage
has been promised these men for every
evening of this week. The aim of
these nightly scrimmages is to enable
the coach to select by his observation
of the work during the games, substi-
tutes to take on the trip, and at the
same time keep his reserves in form.
"Doc" Emery, captain of the team,
is beginning now to show the form in
which he played last year. Williams
has been acting as captain in many
of the games, but when Eemry re-
turned after having been discharged
from the service, the lanky guard w'as
obliged to surrender his temporary
honor.
When Emery substituted for Mc-
Clintock in the last half of the North-
western gam, he delighted all the
spectators with a display of his old
form. This is his last year in the
University and it is regrettable that
he has not been in shape to enter
more of the contests. He will un-
doubtedly be taken on the trip and
will probably take part in at least two
of the three matches. He can be
placed both in the position of cnter
and forward to a good advantage.
Team Needs Victories
If the Wolverines can slip over three
successes next Friday and Saturday,
they will force their way into the up-
per half of the percentage column,
past the .500 mark. Michigan's stand-
ing now is .425 and the men are de-
termined that their week-end hosts
will be obliged to bow down before
them. To do this they will have to
overcome the disadvantage of play-
ing on foreign floors ,but when it is
taken into account that Michigan is
represented in these last few games
of the season by an altogether dif-
ferent kind of a line up than that
which was used in the opening match-
es of the season, it seems altogether
probable that the Wolverine's hopes
will be consmmated.
"I am not satisfied with the number
of men turning out for baseball," said
Coach- Lundgren yesterday. "Candi-
dates for the backstop position are es-
pecially lacking, only two catchers
having 'tried out so far."
Opportunities for men who have
played behind the plate are good this
year, with no veteran material to start
the season and only two candidates
out. If anything should happen to
either of these two men during the
season the team would be in a bad
way and the coach woukl like to see
at the gymnasium every man in school
who is a catcher.
Plenty of Outfielders
There is no dearth of promising
material for the outfield and the men
are developing in a way to give the
coach no serious worry about taking
care of the'garden.
Chances for infielders are good this
spring despite the fact that many of
last year's Varsity squad are on deck.
Shorty Mraz, who was expected to be
back to take care of third base in his
old hot style, has decided not to re-
turn to the University.
Tryouts to Pactice Indoors
Practice for the next three weeks
will be limited to .indoor work. The
men will be given infielding practice
for the remainder of the week, and
by the first of next week, Coach Lund-
gren will start the men in at batting.
Coach Lundgren does not intend to
remove the baseball practices to the
dirt diamond until the weather per-
mits him to remain outdoors for the
remainder of the season. The nine
will probably see outdoor practice to-
ward the end of this month.
Training period for members of the
women's class basketball teams has
begun and will continue until the last
game of the interclass series has been
played. Not only are the teams en-
gaging in stiff practice games twice a
week but the individual members are
asked to follow certain rules.
Some of the training rules are:
Eight consecutive hours sleep every
night, but one, during the week; no
eating between meals; no eating of
sweets or pastries; not more than one
cup of coffee a day; daily exercise.
The women are on their honor to
observe these rules. They realize that
physical fitness is one of the main
essentials of good playing in any
sport. They know that late hours and
too many sweets reduce their vitality,
while plenty of exercise, sleep and
good food go q long ways toward build-
ing up their energy and strengthen-
ing their muscles. For their own
physical benefit then as well as the
strength they lend to their team, the
women are glad to sacrifice the few
dances and afternoon teas which the
following of the training rules ne-
cessitates.

'Farrell Trains
Weight Tryouts
Only the shot-putters and high
jumpers were given a workout Mon-
day night by Coach Farrell. There will
be no real practice until the middle
of the week, when the various men
have rid themselves of the kinks caus-
ed by the Notre Dame meet.
In preparation for the Conference
Indoor meet at Evanston the middle
of March. Farrell is giving the weight
men heavy practice. This was Michi-
gan's weak point, as 'evidenced by the
Catholic meet last Saturday after-
non, where Gilfillan secured Notre
Dame's only first in the shot-put.
Coach Farrell was satisfied with the
general showing of the team in its
first appearance, but there are still
some rough spots to be smoothed out.
Johnson and Sedgwick are in top form
and ready for another Conference
championship this year. Captain
Sedgwick is doing excellent work in
the mile and running fast half miles.
Johnson pulled no sensational feats
against Notre Dame, but had little
trouble in defeating Gilfillan whenever
pitted against the big Hoosier star.
JOHNSON TO ENTER
IN EASTERN MEET
Michigan Athlete Expected to Carry
Honors in
April
Carl Johnson, who made almost one-
third of Michigan's points in dual and
championship meets last year, is slat-
ed to create a disturbance at the Re-
lay Carnival at Franklin field in April.
Is Versatile Field Man .
Johnson is the logical successor to
Simpson of Missouri as the miracle
man in track and field athletics. Last
season he won not only the hurdles
and road jump, which are his special-
ties, but also carried off the sprint
events and the high jump.
In the broad jump Johnson made a
new Conference record of 23 feet, 11
1-4 inches and Coach Farrell thinks he
will get beyond the 24 foot mark this
year. If he does, he will be in a se-
lect class because in the history of
American field athletics only four
men have done 24 feet, namely, Prin-
stein of Syracuse, Kraenzlein of
Pennsylvania, Suttersion of Vermont,
and Worthington of Dartmouth.
Won Event Last Year
Johnson won the broad jump at the
Carnival last year and ran a very
close second to Erdman of Princeton
in the hurdles. With his added experi-
ence this year his supporters expect
him to carry off both of these events.
He looks like the best jumper in the
country but he will find it hard to
beat Erdman, Thomson of Dartmouth,
and Smith of Cornell, who are all
15 second hurdlers.
Coach Farrell hopes, in addition to
Johnson, to take a relay team east
with him. This depends largely on
how many of his old men return to
college this week.
There are 150 schools entered in
the meet and everything indicates that
the University of Pennsylvania's carni-
val this year will be the largest in
history.
St. Louis Trades Seven Men for One
Seven St. Louis Cardinals were
traded to Kansas City for Joe Schultz,
one of the best minor league catchers
of last season. Of the seven men ex-
changed for the stockyard city's back-
top, three were players used last sea-
son and four were untried material.

Why Not Perpetuate U n ersity Life
with Pictures
Why not have a snap, or flashlight, of the "Bunch," the "Dance," o
the hundred and one other things that occur at "Michigan?" Nothin
tells the story like a Picture. They make delightful souvenirs that will
be cherished long after other things are forgotten.
You know, or if you don't you can find out for yourself, that Lyndon's
Flashlights and Groups are in a class by themselves. Many have tried and
are stil ltrying but none have succeeded in approaching them in quality.
INam telling you this but don't take my word for it, be your own ,judge.
Now it's a simple thing to get these pictures; just ciall Lyndon, and he'll
get them, night or day.
Please get your order in before 8 P. M. for evening.

COACH FARRELL FIXES DATE
FOR FRESHMEN TRACK MEET
Coach Farrell has set March 15
as the date for the freshmen track
meet. Only 50 men have expressed
their desire to compete. He wishes to
have at least 150 men run in this
meet. There is a great lack of spirit
being shown by the new men and up
to date the material on hand is only
fair. The best time turned in for the
mile is 4:59. In'the weights there is
no surprises. Moersch seems to be
the best bet. More men must come
out and get in condition for this meet.
Two days will be given to the event
if more spirit is shown. The team
will be picked from those showing
the best time. All freshmen are eligi-
