Loss Results Because of Poor Attend-
asce Caused by Flu Epidemic
and War Conditions
At the last meeting of the Board of
Regents for F'ebruary, the Athletic
association sttbmitted for considera-
tion and approval, the report for the
entire athletic situation, between the
periods of July 1, 1917, and June 30,
1918.
In the financial report were embod-
ied the receipts and disbursements,
for all the forms of athletics, includ-
ing the intramural activities, and the
interscholastic meet.
Football Brings Big Profit
Among the sports, football, as usual
brought the highest returns, the re-
ceipts, for the year totalling $32,429.-
44, with disbursements for the grid-
iron game, totalling $19,497.53, a pro-
fit of more than $12,000.00.
Basketball, a new sport was next.
on the list with $1,150.11 income, but
disbursements of $4,314.70. Receipts
for baseball were 93 cents more for
track, the tossers, cornering $858.93.
But expenses for the diamond mount-
ed to $1,000.00 more than for track,
being $6,588.03, while track totalled
only $4,978.83. Tennis expenses were
$216.19 with $4.50 as receipts. Intra-
mural activities cost $1,173.87, offset
by $284.34 receipts.
In July, 1917, the indebtedness of
the association, represented by notes
held by Ann Arbor banks was $16,-
500.00 and on the corresponding date
in 1918, the amount had been cut to
$11,000.00. However, open account in-
debtedness, which can only be approx-
imated, was undoubtedly considerably
larger last year than in 1:;17.,
Net Loss Only $1,500
During the year covered by the re-
port, the usual profit was not made in
athletics. Income from student fees
and football games was very much re=
duced as a result of war conditions.
That the income just about covered
the expenses, may be considered very
gratifying in view of the fact that
many of the universities that continu-
ed athletic activities, did so, at a
pronounced loss. Michigan's net loss
was not more than $1,500 which cor-
responds to the amount, contributed
by the association to the American
University Union in Paris.
Since 1918, financial difficulties have
greatly increased. Student fees at
the beginning of the year were only a
fraction of the normal amount, and
attendance at games, due to influenza
and the war, was small. With the as-
sistance of the banks, the board is en-
deavoring to carry on most of its
activties. Prospects at present for a
financial success during the coming
year, are fortunately unusually bright.
MORE CANDIDATES
FOR NINE WANTED
Regularity seems to be the strong
point of the baseball squad tryouts,
even though the number of candi-
dates is a way below Coach Lund-
gren's expectations.
Monday and Tuesday practices
brought out practically every man who
has reported so far. Of the old hands,
there are Cooper and Langenham who
stood in the distance and gathered in
the long flies that Lundgren's mound-
men allowed their opponents to get
away with.
Garret, Adams and Mike Knode, of
the infield have been taking their
workouts, scooping up the grounders,
and are displaying good form. Glenn,
who with Ruzicka, pitched the Var-
sity to victory after victory and final-
ly to championship of the Conferenc
last year, has been warming up grad-
ually, and with the material at hand,
bids fair to take care of their end
of the game.
F The position that is continuing to
cause the coach considerable worry
is the backstop job. Huber and Hayes
e developing, but there should be
more catchers on the squad, he says.
FIRST, WOMEN'S BASKETBALL
GAME- TO BE PLAYED MARCH
Classes of 1919 and 1921 to Pit Team
Against Aggregation from
1922 and 1920

two picked teams; one chosen from
the class teams of 1919 and 1921, the
other from the teams of 1920 and 1922.
The main purpose of the game is to
promote interest in the interclass se-
ries which will begin on March.12.
The lineup will be as follows: Odd
team-1919-1921: Forwards - Ruth
Kirk, Neva Nelson. Centers-Norma
Mark, Beatrice Beckwith. Guards -

Dorothy Jones, Hazel Storz. Centers-
Elsie Eurley, Selma Mueller. Guards-
Lucy Huffman, Ada Duffies.
Illini Slogan Says "I" for All
A new plan has been introduced at the
University of Illinois in regard to the
giving of "I's." The idea is to give
three grades of buttons, one for the
"novice," another for the "athlete,"
and the highest grade to be "honor'."
The requirements for the "novice"
grade are to be so low that any man
with a little work should be able to
qualify. The slogan is "Every man an
' man."

As many of the Big Ten basket
teams have completed their schedules,
and the remaining few are now meet-
ing in the wind-up matches of the
season, followers of the Conference
race are busy figuring out the prob-
able outcome and reviewing the year's
records of the various contestants.
Minnesota defeated Illinois on
Monday night thereby finishing the
season with an equal partnership in
the ranking berth held by Chicago.
Both quintets hold a perfect percent-
age with a record of 10 accredited
victories. With the Gophers idle and'
the Maroons scheduled for two final
matches, the dope tends to predict a
championship. tie with the Midway'
squad one pair ahead in games won.
Maroons Prove Favorites
However final decision hangs on the
result of the Chicago-Northwestern
game, Wednesday night, and while
the Maroons are logical betting fav-
orites, a slip in this contest will send
them into second place. The result of
the Maroon clash next Saturday with
Wisconsin is not expected to make any
change in the final standing.
Both of the present leaders have
played consistent ball and have dis-
played an air-tight defense. Chicago
has been favored with the break of
luck in many close games.
With the exception of the first half
of the second M. A. C. contest, Michi-
gan has been working evenly and is
steadily rising on the Conference
chart. The Wolverines will complete
their schedule this week end, with a
campaign against Illinois, Indiana,
and Ohio. The results will figure
heavily in the final reckoning. If the
Maize and Blue carries success on the
expedition, Michigan will rise to
fourth or possibly third for the last
average. Dope favors Coach Mitch-
ell's men for a clean sweep over In-
diana and Ohio with an even chance
against the Illini although all games
will be played on foreign courts.
Final Game, March 15
Purdue has already completed its
season and Ohio State will conclude
current action at the end of the
week. The tussle between Indiana and
Wisconsin on March 15 will mark the
grand finale of the Big Ten race.
The All-Conference team will be
picked by Carl Steinmetry of Milwau--
kee, an old Wisconsin player, follow-
ing the last match.

Coach. Mitchell is putting the final
touches on his quintet, and is round-
ing out the team into form for the
final three matches of the season
which are scheduled for next week-
end. Illinois, Ohio and Indiana are
a formidable trio and great care is
being exercised up to the last minute,
that the men should be kept on edge
for these Conference battles.
The reserve team is composed of
Cohn and Borinstein, forwards;
Emery, center; Weiss and Novak,
guards. This squad presents such a
great aggregate strength that they
give the regulars the same kind of op-
position that they run up against in
their hardest Conference games.
It is apparent from Emery's work
in these practices that if he had been
with the rest in starting the season,
he would be a great asset to the team.
The coach is working him unusually
hard in expectation of putting him
into the best possible form for the
week-end trip, since this will be his
last chance to play with the Varsity,
on account of graduation.
The competition which has arisen in
the last few practices among the sub-
stitutes is chiefly due to the fact that
their performance during this week's
practice will decide just which of their
number will be chosen for the trip,
and those who accompany the team on
the tour will be the logical candidates
for the "M's" which will be awarded
soon.
Novak is the reserve who has
shown especially well in practice re-
cently. Heavy academic work made
it impossible for him to-come out the
first semester. He° may be counted
on as one of the coming men of the
1929 team.
Hewlett, the veteran forward who
may always be counted on in a pinch,]
is paying particular attention to his
foul shooting.
FOUR STRONG MEN APPEAR
FOR VARSITY TENNIS TEAM

stein, Egbert, and Westbrook turning

and was runner up in the Ohio match-
es last year. Munz and Bernstein won

CANDIDATES WAN!TED
Coach Lundgren has again is-
sued a call for baseball candi-
dates. The number of men out
this spring for the diamond
game is unusually small. This
may be due to the belief of
many that all the positions are
filled by last year's, players.
The coach claims that such an
impression is entirely wrong.
He desires as large a number to
report for practice as in former
years and declares that the op-
portunities for berths on the
nini (!hii season are as good as
