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.

GRENNAN Custom Tailor Original Designs Now Open for Business 14 Nickels Arcade i '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. A V Perpetuate With Pictures.

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.

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.
