The Wolverine nine of 1915 captained by the versatile George Sisler, present first sacker of the St. Louis Browns and one of the best swatsmen in the game, was chosen by a number of the leading sporting writers as the na- tional champion. During the past two e seasons the Wolverines have been able in to carry away the Western Conference title with the loss of but one Bi Ten de contest. This season the Wolverines leare minus the services oftsome of last year's stars but have a strong nu- hcleus around which to build a pow- Sersul nine. Barring all accidents, the season should treat the fans to some of the fastest games ever witnessed on the Ferry field diamond.

NESS Lack of basket shooters was the chief1 reason for the defeat of Michigan at the1 hands of Chicago Saturday night. None of the Wolverines were able to break strongly into the scoring col- umn, while the Maroons had little dif- ficulty in throwing baskets when they counted most. Williams and Karpus help . Aside from the scoring phase of the game, the Michigan playing showed a' distinct Improvementaover ,other' games, Williams and Karpus adding a' great deal of power to the Varsity.- Michigan fought well throughout the game, passed better than usual and1 he positionss.were better played, but even when the Michigan forwards got loose with the ball they wei'e unable to throw baskets, showing a woeful lack of accuracy at such times. LBirkhoff, Chicago forward', played the most sensational game, fromthe point of scoring. His shots were fast and equally good whether he was cov- ered or free. Halladay, at center, threw four pretty shots during the' game. The Chicago teamwork was re- markably good, the men passing from center to the basket with precision., Chicago in Lead Clicago has now won eight games,' and is still in first place, but only a stride ahead of the flying quintet from Purdue. The Boilermakers have won the last six games they have played, all by comfortable margins. Last Sat- urday they swamped Northwestern at Evanston 50 to 26. Due to this win and the defeat of Illinois, 32 to 29, by Wisconsin, Purdue is now in second place and rapidly overtaking first. The Maroons will have a hard time stop- ping the Lafayette team, and the game' which brings the two together next week wil probably decide the Confer- ence title.

These seats, which are good throughout the entire tournament and' are also transferable, were placed on sale about the middle of January at a cost of approximately $12 each. Ac- cording to the latest announcements from abroad it is expected that the tournament will continue for close to two weeks and will contain entrants, both men and women, from all the European tennis playing countries as well as the United States, Australia, Japan and South Africa. MORE STRINGENT RULES IN FORCE Many colleges are striving this year to put their athletic teams on a more firm foundation. In many schools, eli- gibility, training rules, and fair play are coming to the front as never be- lercT This year seems to mark the beginning of an era of higher stand- ards for clean athletics and of fairer competition for the teams..; Coach Ten Eyck, for many years successful crew coach at Syracuse, recently made the statement, "A man may be one of the best rowers I've got for the boats this year, but if his class standings are low he'4 no good tothe school."
