THE MICHIGAN DAILY PA _ . .- ""- .....'." "- ti -... _. . _ . ,r~ .,r_ ,_.,_~ =-- _. - 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. BAS4EBALLI LE VTORt SAYS lHE PLJEASED) WITH MlEN 1ITT IS U ISKETBALL TEAM NOWINCOLUMBUS lit Men and Coach Left Last Night By Way of Detroit for Ohio City OULD WIN FIRSTG CAME OF SERIES ACCORDING TO DOPE ttle with Should Illinois Monday Evening be Hard Contest 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. Students read The Daily.-Adv. C.OmD Sisler In Trim ! For Coming Year 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," brigade. | Coach Lundgren said Friday. "The Unlike the other great baseball star: men are beginning to feel at home in the Chemical Warfare service, with the ball and the throwing and Christy Matthewson, Sisler was not fielding are getting very good." fortunate enough to get across. Along After a week of fielding practice, with many another good man, the arm- gradually increasing in stiffness, the istice came a few days too early for candidates for the 1919 baseball team t bin.

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."
