LASTI FINANICIAL RESULT oF YEAR' S SPORTS ISSUED YESTERDAY ATHLETIC ASSOCIATION GIVES FIGURES ON FINANCES OF YEAR GRID GAME BRINGS GREATEST RECEIPTS 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 The- first women's basketball game of the season will be played March 6, at 5 o'clock, in Barbour gymnasium. It will be an "odd-ven" game between 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 - Ethel Glauz, Jessie Craig. Even team-1920-1922: Forwards - 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."

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. TYPEWRITERS and Office Supplies, rentals and repairs. Agent for Rem- ington, Monarch, and Smith Premier. G. E. Washington, 8-9 A. A. Sav. Bank Blk.Adv. 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 Prospects for a strong tennis team this spring look good with Munz, Bern- stein, Egbert, and Westbrook turning out for work. Westbrook holds =the championship of the New England states, Michigan, Connecticut Valley, and was runner up in the Ohio match- es last year. Munz and Bernstein won the class contests last year.

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 "'',..~ The Charac ter of Your Room. depends largely on the kind of Wall Paper You Use.
