THE MICHIGAN DAILY , ...., M M wr1 + 1q I --- V. |IGHT WEATHER [HELPS VIRSITY BA1LL TOSSERS FAST PRACTICE MONDAY LOWED BY GOOD CONDITIONS AL. Fine weather gave the baseball team an opportunity to hold one of the best practices of the year yester- day afternoon. With the diamond in excellent con- dition on account of the sun which furnished heatthat made the tem- perature exactly right, a full after- noon's work was put in. Coach Lund- gren is getting ready for the Ypsi- lanti game Wednesday. While he does not worry over the outcome of the game, it is certain tiat the Ypsi men have a stronger team than the Case outfit which thesWolverines vanquish- ed so easily last Saturday. Ypsl Has Good Heavers The two pitchers which the visit- ors will bring with them tomorrow are said to be of a type which should furnish Lundgren's men some real opposition. These two men, Powers and Carlson; were in the South Mich- igan league and are the hope of the Normal fans.I The Michigan line-up has not yet been given out but it is safe to sur- mise that it will be for the most part simiar to the list for last Saturday. "Smalley" Morrison, veteran of last year, and one of. the dependable players on Michigan's champion base- ball last year, was out in uniform yes- terday. He worked for several hours with the men while they were at bat- ting practice.- The players distributed themselves promiscuously about the field and nabbed off the grounders and flies which were knocked out by the coach. Heavy Batting Practice Batting was given emphasis during the whole afternoon. The coach gave the men a lecture on bunting, which seemed to correct the weaknesses of many immediately. "Few men come out that know kefore hand the correct, method of bunting. It is not difficult to learn, and once learned is never forgotten," said the coach. Pheney has shown up particularly well with the stick of late. He is con- sidered one ofsthe most dependable men at bat. Ingalls and Vick, two freshmen, worked with the Varsity squad last night. Ingalls is a pitcher who ought to be a great addition to the yearling team while Vick, 'who seems to be one of those year-round athletes, was per- fectly at home behind the plate., Cooper has recuperated from the blow he received in the back while sliding home in the Case game. He also handled the stick in fine form, his work last Saturday attracting at- tention. --Buy Victory Bonds -- CONNECT WITH THE CONNECTICUT MUTUAL Life Insurance Co., organized 1846, My educational course free to the right graduate.

McAllister)t With the meeting of the various1 class managers last night under thef supervision of Doctor May, physicalf director of the University, the massf athletic system is inaugerated at Mich-I igan. First introduced at the University ofE Illinois, with the aim of interesting as many students as possible in out- door athletic work of a less strenuous nature than Varsity work, the system1 met with great success and favor from the first, and was soon taken up byl many of the leading colleges and uni- versities of the country, resulting inl keen athletic rivalry among the stu- dent bodies. Of ingenious conception, the mass1 system of athletics enables a great number of students,-who have not suf- ficient time, or lack the skill necessary1 for the Varsity squads, to compete actively in open contests against ath- letic representations from their col- legiate rivals. All the students wish- ing to compete, train and practice throughout the year, on their athletic grounds, and in the spring a competi- tive university meet is held, each uni- versity supervising its own meet. Tak- ing then as the score, the number of points made by the 200, highest in standing, the result is averaged and wired into the central office of the col- leges engaged. The college scoring the highest average of points wins the meet. Adopting this system is one step further than the intramural method in the plan to engage the greatest pos- sible number of students in active sports and games. Since the develop- ment of the latter system under Mr. Floyd Rowe, lately director of Intra- mural athletics, much enthusiasm has been shown in the interclass games and meets. However, since Mr. Rowe left to take charge of war athletics, some uncertainty has beenamanifested in this regard. With the war, the sys- tem suffered greatly, and is not now in its former efficient condition. Feeling the seriousness of the sit- uation, and recognizing that even the intramural plan was not perfect, the Board in control of Athletics in its recent report to the Regents describel NET MEN TO MEET DETROIT SATURDAY Candidates for the Varsity tennis team showed great improvement in the matches Monday afternoon. Coach Mack was pleased with the playing of most of the men. A squad will be picked to play the Detroit Tennis club next Saturday. In the matches up to date keen com- petition has been displayed. Saturday Muntz beat Bowers 6-2, Bartz tied Muntz, Bowers beat Towler 6-1, and defeated Harrison 6-2. Bowers then tied Bartz and Popp, and defeated Muntz 6-4. Bartz beat Towler 6-2, Leung beat Goorin 6-1, Harrison de- feated Leung and Popp 6-3, and 6-4. Yesterday afternoon the playing of Bartz was very good and Bowers showed exceptional ability in placing his shots. Bowers defeated in succes- sion Harrison 6-1, Bowers 6-2, Towler 6-2, and G. E. Dyason 6-0. Bowers beat Leung 6-2, and Dyason defeated ,Leung 6-1. In the doubles Freedman and Tow- ler defeated Harrison and Popp 6-2, Dyason and Baer lost to Cohn and Towler 6-1, Bowers and Towler tied Dyason and Baer, Prather and West- brook defeated Popp and Harrison 7-5, and Freedman and Jerome beat Hitch- cock and Whitker 6-1. After playing Detroit next Saturday, another match will be played with To- ledo Tennis club before the matches with Ohio State. Practice will be held today at 2:30 p. m. ember Of )en Is | ;ss AthleticM eets the situation, and suggesting various means to accomplish the end, asked for additional suggestions. The result is the mass athletic system, coming from the board and put into execution by it. No discussion seems properly open- ed these days without observing the Osson taught by the war in regard to this matter. While it cannot be said that the war has disclosed the need of a more comprehensive system of physical education, certainly the war and the mobilization have em- phasized such a need. Criticism of intercollegiate athletics usually comes down to the basic charge that too few3 receive the benefits of the training; it is said that colleges should provide some system whereby all, or at least, many, could be developed.

Coach Mitchell, in charge of the practice, urges all of the men to be on hand as he is. desirous of getting things started as soon as possible. These workouts will take place every Tuesday and Thursday, and will con- sist mostly of drilling on forward pass- ing and kicking. The coach says, "The purpose be- hind this work will be to furnish an opportunity to the men to come out and go over the fundamentals of the game again, thus saving much time in the fall. This spring work counts a great deal towards the final selec- tion later and the proper spirit must be shown."

SOUTH STATE STREET AND N. UNIVERSITY AVENUE The Faculty of the Law School of the University of Michigan has arranged a special course for the Summer Session of 1919 and the first semester of the year 1919-1920, in which course the stu- dent is allowed to carry an amount of workslightly in excess of the normal amount and thus gain the equivalent of a year of credit. The saving of time for students who may be discharged from the army or navy before June 23 will thus be considerable and of great importance in aiding them to secure early admis- sion to the bar. The course will include all subjects of the reg- ular curriculum and will be given in the regular way by the Law School Staff. Students desiring to take advantage of this course must pr- sent official evidence of their military or naval service.
