' DEVELOP FOR INFIELD JOBS More than 60 baseball aspirants have now reported to Coach Fisher and each day's practice is expected to see this number increase. Every man was' out yesterday with an abundance of pep ready to step into his turn at nabbing the sphere as it bounded from the Varsity mentor's bat. Uteritz and Schackleford, the lone survivors of last year's infield are both out handl- ing the hot pones with apparent ease. Bob Knode, brother of the famous Mike Knode and stellar first sacker on the yearling team of last season has reported and should be a big help to Coach Fisher in solving his infield problem. Knode is a left hander and thus possesses a natural advantage in assisting in double plays to second base. Wimbles Is Good Man' "Shorty" Wimbles, an infielder of demonstrated ability looks as if he will be in a position to make a strong bid for one of the vacant positions when the outdoor practice begins. Wimbles has given promise for sever- al seasons but due to a scholastic dif- ficulty has not been able to play with the Varsity. This year "Shorty" has sailed through with flying colors and is out working hard to earn a Varsity, berth. Wimbles plays second base and shortstop.

'Vick Is Conference Best Michigan should be well supplied with receivers this year with Captain "Ernie" Vick to do the major share of the catching. Vick was the unani- mous choice of critics last year for All-Conference catcher and was a big factor in Michigan's success. Vick seldom let an opposing player steal a base for his unerring peg us- ually caught the runner flat footed off the base while "Ernie's" ability to outguess the batsmen put many games in the victory column for the Wolver- ines. "Chubby" Coates handles the pitchers well and together with "Doug." Roby should make up a for- midable receiving staff.

Several editorials have been appear-' ing in The Daily recently asking for1 track turn outs. The material is onl the campus, but no way has been7 found by which this material can bel induced to report for track work. A great number of schools once, found themselves in the same situationI but a method was found to solve the problem. Each school has a some1 what similar method to that employed7 at the University of California.j No need of introduction is necessary to a acquaint the sport fan with the Golden Bears. What every body asks is "Where do they get the material?" The answer to this question is 'Cal- ifornia has a smooth and well working Athletic association and offers some- thing in return for the time a man spends in helping make California make what it is. The physical education department gives hour credit towards graduation for participation in athletics. Every branch of athletics, whether Varsity, or minor sport, is listed in a catalogue and every student on the campus is el igible to elect physical 'education and receive credit for it. Using basketball as an illustration, one may elect Gymnasium 5a the first semester, and 5 b the second semester and report to the gymnasium two hours MERKEL BECOMES TENNISCATI Loss of Wesbrook, Munz, pnd Angell, of Last Yeae*s Team is Big Handicap TQ SURFACE OLD AND BUILD ONE NEW CONCRETE COURT PES LUNCH~ESSOA W', try to treat you ri h49~ V Coach Fisher has instructed all of a week, at specified hours and play basketball under the guidance of able hands and at the end of the semester receive one-half hour credit towards graduation, for his efforts. This is done in every branch of sports. The most recent acquisition is "Gym- nasium 16." The University of Cali- fornia has inaugurated golf as an ac- tivity under the physical education de- partment. "Nibs" Price, of football fame, is the instructor. Facilities for driving and putting practice have been installed and are being used to a great extent.' Credit for this work is also given p.s in other lines. California at present has seven Var- sity sports, football, baseball, basket- ball, tennis, swimming, crew, and track. It has been said that about 40 per cent of the Varsity material for the above mentioned sports come from the ranks of the new-comers in the 'gym' classes. Men who never had any idea of what they could do athletically until they spent a few hours daily in the gym have developed to be great stars at California. But they did not spend those hours in vain. They had an inducement to turn out. Even if they did not win a letter, they did re- ceive credit for their work. You often hear the remark by a lesser-light, "Oh, I wouldn't get any credit if I did go out. They are too., stingy with their credit." Such men, in a majority of the cases, are men in the making and just some- little in- ducement as that offered by California; is what is needed to bring them to the gymnasium. One may drop in' the Harmon gym- nasium any day at Berkeley and see Walt Christie, Earl Wight, and the rest of the coaches sitting in the balcony keeping 'tab' of some of the men who look promising and are only taking the gym work for exercise and the credit, thinking they have no charice on the Varsity. Why cannot Michigan follow the ex- ample set by other colleges and offer more to the man who turns out or offer something to induce the others to turn out, as other colleges have done? Our competitors who have done this thing are passing us at a fast rate simply because they offer some thing in re- turn. "CALIFORNIA," '23.

Merkel, '24M, has been elected captain of the 1922 tennis team as a result of a recent vote of the members of last year's team. Playing for the first time on the 1921 team, MerkejLmade a good showing as a most. consistent and steady player. He has improved steadily in the last two years and this"spring should find him even. better than previously because of the increased experience. Only One Other Veteran The squad this year will be some- what handicapped by 'the loss of such men as Wesbrook, Munz, and Angell. The only other letter man back beside Merkel is George Reindel, Jr., a letter man for the last two years. Reindel has had considerabletournament ex- perience which should prove most help- ful to his game. Other candidates for the team are expected to put in a strong bid are Rorich, Sanchez, Zemon, Hames, Worcester, Dunakin, Hodgman, Zook, Klein, and Brick. Last year's freshman team will also be a source of possible material. The team is fortunate .in securing the services of Walter Wesbrook who will act as coach. Wesbrook is still in school and has consented to give his time to the coaching of the net men,; To help him-in this capacity and in theI final selection of the team will be Dr. Lee, for years the regular Varsity coach, and Professor Boak. This group of three will supervise the spring training and practice. George Reindel has been appointed manager and an extensive schedule including games, with all the larger Conference schools,' the Conference tournament, and an Eastern trip is being arranged. To Build New Concrete Court Plans for the spring include the completion of the one concrete court that has already been started and the building of another along side' of it. Coach Yost will go ahead with the building program as soon as the frost is out' of the ground.- In case of incle- ment weather, the concrete cburts will be used for practice and matches.' The regular Varsity clay courts will' be carefully gone over with the first sign of spring. Drawing Instruments--Bargains in second hand sets. Wahr's University Bookstore.-Adv.
