SCARCITY Of MATERIAL
LUNDGREN'S ONLY WORRY
in a way that should take twirlers off
the coach's worry list.
Infielders are plentiful. Adams,
whose lanky form is as familiar as
first base, is showing up regularly
and with Novak and Hatch will keep
the initial bag well guarded. Tommy
Garret, who came through last sea-
son almost errorless and whose con-
sistant playing was a joy to follow-
ers of the game, is displaying the old
form. Captain Mike Knode completes
the veterans. Many more are out to
working for outfield berths. Cooper
and Langenham of last season's nine
are developing throwing arms that
will keep the runners scurrying for
the sacks. Johns, Bowerman, Corco-
ran, McGowan and many other prom-
ising men will keep the garden clean.
"There will be a regular practice
in the gymnasium this afternoon from
1 to 3 o'clock" Lundgren announced
yesterday.

Throughout
Michigan's current basketball cli-
max will start, Saturday night, when
the Wolverine quintet meets Ohio
State on the Buckeye court. The
squad, eight strong, .left Friday night
foir the Columbus invasion accompan-
led by Coach. Mitchell.
Conference basket fans having seen
the championship safely landed by
Minnesota as a result of the North-
western victory over the Maroons,
are turning with added interest to
further possible alterations of the Big
Ten standing column. The three
match wind up of the Wolverines,
headed by the Ohio game Saturday,
draws attention as an important fac-
tor in the final reckoning.
Team Now Hitting Baskets
Michigan will await the whistle this
evening with a team that with few ex-
ceptions has played consistently
throughout its schedule and has lost
to several of the present leaders by
narrow margins. Basket shooting has
proved the serious weakness in all
close contests and has been remedied
to some extent by recent concentrated
practice in this all-important phase
of the game. A surprise is predicted
in this line by local supporters who
have followed the team's development
closely.
Last Saturday's victory over North-
western who in turn pulled the Mar-
oons down into second place, serves
to throw a new light on the coming
campaign of the Maize and Blue and
the critics, latelysilenced by the
wholesale upset along the dope line,
appear again with favorable predic-
tion for a strong Ann Arbor finish.
Ohio Lineup Same
The Ohio State lineup for Saturday
will be practically the same which
fell before Coach Mitchell's men a
few weks ago-at Ann Arbor. Phillips,
the Buckeye's running guard, and Jef-
fries at center will form the strong-
est opposition for the Michigan five.
The team as a whole has displayed an
erratic style and unless the unforeseen
occurs, should offer little obstacle to
the Wolverines' clean sweep program.
Dope, however unreliable it may
have proved, points to a comparative-
ly hardest scrap when the quintet op-
poses Illinois on Monday night. The
Illini starting out with championship
possibilities soon fell from grace but
still managed to retain considerable
strength and standing. This squad
which downed Michigan on the latter's
court by a score of 27 to 23, has been
slipping lately with the exception of a
strong stand made against the Mid-
way.
Definite results of the first two en-
counters will swing the forecast of
possibilities for the Indiana scrap
which will fall due next Tuesday
aight as the grand finale for the local
tourists. Michigan defeated the Hoos-
iers .at the beginning of the year on
the Waterman court and the situation
seems favorable for a repetition of
this performance.
The University of Missouri has won
the Missouri Valley track title seven
times out of the last' eight years.

Former Wolverine Relates 'Wilitary i
EXperiences in3 Magazine
Article
That hi. ,every effort this season
will be centered on mastering place
hitting and improving his style in base
running is the statement of George
Sisler, '15E, the most famous diamond
star Michigan ever produced, as he re-
turns from the army to organized
baseball. Sisler writes of his plans
and experiences in the March issue of
the Baseball magazine.
- Sis experimented with place hitting
thoroughly last summer, and his ef-
forts to better his batting average
this year will be centered along that
line. George, modestly ignoring his
own claims and calling Ty Cobb "the'
greatest of all players," believes that
much of Ty's success is due to hisE
uncanny ability to hit 'em where the
fielders aren't.
Calls Cobb Best Speedster
Sisler also thinks Ty is "the great-
est base-runner who ever lived." But
the Michigan athlete's own claims to
leadership in that line are rapidly im-
proving. He is faster than Cobb on
the straightway, though he believps
Ty a trifle quicker at the start.
Sisler returns to the Browns from
a commission in the Chemical War-
fare service. He went into the army
just after the close of the 1918 base-
ball season, though he wasin defer-
red classification and had been offer-
ed a large salary with an industrial
concern.
Took Chemistry Here
At Michigan he was an engineer, but
took considerable chemistry, intend-
ing, he says, to follow that profession
if anything should happen to him in
baseball. This, coupled with his nat-
ural ability and leadership developedV
on the diamond, enabled him to fit in "I am quite pleased with the way
at once with the work in the gas the baseball squad is developing,"

BARONESS HUARD WILL SPEAK

Baroness Frances Huard, who spoke
in Hill auditorium Thursday night,
will address the Detroit Athletic club
Saturday night. She will speak on
the same topicthat she used in Ann
jArbor. Baroness Huard is the first
woman to speak before the D. A. C.

The amount which was raised for

are, beginning to get the snap which
goes to make a successful nine. Al-
though there are not as many men out
as the coach would like, the material
is undoubtedly of fine caliber.
Cannot Stand Accidents
"Between the first week of prac-
tice and the beginning of the sched-
ule many accidents may happen, and
if this should occur this spring I
might be in a bad position, especially
in the case of catchers," was the
coach's comment on the lack of num-
bers trying out.
As it stands now the backstop po-
sition is the weakest spot on the
squad Huber and Hayes doing well
but lacking support. Cohn is expect-
ed to report next week, the basket-
ball season being over, and he will
strengthen the guardians of the plate.
Piftchers Are Plentiful
"As far as pitchers go we are in
excellent shape," said Lundgren." It
looks as if we would have a string of
five or six first class moundmen." Ex-
Captain Glenn is limbering up and
promises to be good. Schiedler,of

Kimball and Crockett are developing
