FRESHMEN BASEBALL MEN
IWILL BE CALLED APRIL 17
Coach Mather willmake a call
for all freshmen baseball candi-
dates to report at the Intramur-
al club house at the west end of
E the concrete stands April 17 at
SSPerry Field where lockers will
+ be assigned. Because of the 1
p large number that is expected it I
will be necessary for candidates 1-
to furnish their own equipment
until the squad is cut sufficiently.
Landowski, Pole
Vaulter, B a ck
In Ranks Again
Michigan's ''Wonder Track Team",
although strongly fortified in almost
every event, presents, outside of the
half mile, the most powerful front in
the pole vault. This will be espec-
ially true in outdoor competition this
spring, for .in adidtion to Brooker and
Prosser of indoor fame, Johnny Lan-
dowski, veteran star of last year's
squad will be ready for what is ex-
pected to be - the greatest outdoor
track season Steve Farrell's men
have ever known.
Landowski was not in competitior
for indoor work but is entirely eli-
ible for work in the open air. ILih
eturn to the ranks was marked by
almost the only case of hard luck !
the runners have had this year. Four
weeks ago he was well along in hir
training when he tore a ligament an(
muscle fibers in 44is knee. It was r
rather serious injury and of coursr
his training had to cease.
Has Fine R eord
Now when the men have started
trining onFerry fieX, Landowski is
Eust about ready to get in the harness
oncemore. It is likely that he will
be all right when the time omes te
send Michigan's repesentatives to th
Drake relays, April 28 and 29. If a
decisioir i reached to send part of the
squad to the Penn relays on the same
date, the strength of the vaulters will
bear a division, for all of the three
men can do well -above 12 feet..
In competition last year, the stocky
Wolverine *eached the height of hir'
career so far when, he tied Merrick of
Wisconsin at 12 feet, nine and one-
fourth inches in the pole vault at the
Illinois relays. In the indoor Con-
ference meet at Evanston he did 12
feet six inches for a tie for first, again
with Merrick.
Best in Javelin
In addition to being an ace-high
vaulter, the Milwaukee boy is a cap-
able javelin thrower In which capac-
ity he will be of greater value to the
team. He has heaved the shaft some
170 feet or better and with practice
may approach some of the marks of
the great Hoff man. LandoWski pos-
sesses a build somewhat along the
same lines as Hoffman and Steger..
and looks,'likethe best man on the
squad in this event.
The campus is expecting to see Lan-
dowski surpssiis dudoor work of'
the 1922 season and, other things be-
ing equal, he should have no difficulty
in accomplishing such. At any rate,
with the addition of Johnny, Farrell's,
trio of vaulters is probably the most
fotmidable that has appeared in col-
legiate circles, with the exception of
Dartmouth, for a period of 10 years.

ILLNESS OF GEORGE SISLER, '15E,
WORRIES FANS AND BROWN BOSSES
Announcement has been made' that
the Board of Directors of the Ann Ar-
bor Golf club voted to admit thirty
student players for the spring season
up to Commencement at the usual rate
of $10. Students should enclose check
with application to Professor T. C.
Trueblood, 1024 Hill Street. Accom-
panying this application should be

1 the applicant over his home course
during th, spring vacation, properly
attested. These scores must be this
spring's play, and must-be mailed not
later than Friday, April 13, to en-
able all eligible players to have their
membership cards as soon as they re-
turn. It is desired that students en-
close a note from an officer of their
home club regarding their standing as
a member of the club.
Candidates for the Varsity team, that
is, those who are eligible to play this
zpring, will be given first considera-
tion. Freshmen should make applica-
tion also, giving the abo"Ve infornia-
tion the same as second, third and

playing rights would not be open to
other students than the thiry student
members. The Washtenaw Country
club, however, has kindly consented to
o0en nine holes of their course to

The continued illness of George Sis-
ler is causing much speculation these
days as to whether the brilliant car-
eer of this super-star is in danger of
being ended. as he swings along at the
very zenith.o'f his career.
Sisler has not reported to the.Brown
camp for training and the recent info
from Hot Springs, where he has been
all spring, is that he will ,not be able
to join the team for'ah indefinite
period.
Sisler some time ago suffered from
an attack of influenza. What the doc-
tors call a -sinus, inTeetion, brought
on by the attack 'of the flu, is what is
now endangering his baseball future.
This is an infection in the bone.

erally hold a sort of "hero worship.
