Special to the Daily)
Madison, Wis., April 5.-WVisconsin's
Varsity baseball squad of 16 men, led
by Captain Rollie Williams, starts its
southern training trip today when it
meets Arxnodr ',Tech at Chicago on
the first leg of the jaunt toward Dixie
after a limited practice periodI indoors
caused by inclement weather.'
Ihandicaps the team has
On the day that Michigan, as a body, returns from vacation
days to campus and class-room the clubhouse on Ferry field
will be waiting to receive the candidates for the 1923 Varsity
football team. 'ichigan expects every man on the camp* why
is physically capable to report to Coaches Yost and Little on
that day, slip into togs, and get out on the field ready for the
five weeks of Spring practice that will help to keep the Con-
ference championship flag flying over Ann Arbor next fail.
It is not a question of the prospective candidate's liking
the game. If he doesn't like it the tutelage of the Wolverine
coaches will soon make hun like it! Nor ,is this a moment to
rant at length about the duty which each man should feel, for
it is a duty insofar as it is a requirement-and it could be no
more required of -Michigan men were it printed in the rules
and regulations that govern the University.
Michigan has a difficult :schedule to face next fall-one
of the hardest that has been waiting for a Wolverine team in
many a day, but those who will control the destinies of thek
1923 teain feel that Michigan will have an aggregation on the
gridiron that will be more, than fit to meet that schedule. We
cannot afford to disappoint those who have arranged it, and,
further, we cannot afford to disappoint ourselves, for Michigan
knows where Michigan belongs-always leading.
April 17, the very first day of cl-asses after vacation, is the
time set for the initial practice. Go through spring vacation
bearing always in mind the fact that the first day thereafter is
to be memorable for Michigan with the largest turnout that
has ever responded to a call for Spring practice.

team as utility man working either
in the outfield or infield as needed.
Final practice preparatory t8 the
trip was held yesterday afternoon on
Ferry field when Coach Fisher put the
finishing touches on the squad. Mich-
igan goes south this year handicap-
ped to a greater extent than at any-
time during the past few seasons ow-
ing to the decidedly inclement weath-
er conditions which have held up the:
workouts of the Wolverin-s.
While the Michigan teams haie al-,
ways been noted for their hard hitting
this year's squad has had little or no,
practice with the stick and it may be
several days before the sluggers oil
the team hit their stride and begin
poling them out. Forced to remain in-
doors until less than 10 days a-go
Coach Fisher's men are sadly out of
form and may not show so well against
teams -such as Vanderbilt and Geor-
gia, which have .had the benefit of
outdoor practice for several weeks.
O'Hlara to .start
Itis probable that Fisher. will start
O'Hara in opening game df the year
tomorrow saving Liverance for the
harder contest against Vanderbilt
next Monday. He has not decided who
will pitch the second game against
Vanderbilt on the following ,day.
After playing the Commodores two]
games the team will move on to Mont-!
gomery, Ala., where games are card-
ed with Alabama Polytech on Wed-
nesday and Thursday. The next two,
games will be played at Athens
where the Wolverines will meet the
strong University of Georgia nine in
what should prove to be the hardest
contests on the schedule. Georgia al-
ready has several victories to her
credit over Eastern teams which have
been down south and is anxious to
take a craek at Michigan.
,The last game of the trip will be
played against the University of Cin-
cinnati on the Monday before the re-
opening of classes. Michigan is not
expecting much opposition from thr
Ohio school as their squad this sea-
son is not a great improvement over
that of last season when it fell vic-
tim to the Wolverines by a 12 to .
score.

bor April 28 for their first baseball'

By Jack Keene
(Central Press Association)
Byrd Hodges, big southpaw twirler'
of the Chicago Cubs, was twenty-one
years of age before he had a base-
ball In~his hands. And his introduc-
tion. to the national game was inter-
esting. "I went- overseas with the
evacuation hospital unit No. 9, and
for more than five months was sta-
tioned at Coblenz after the war end-
ed," says Hodges.
"Our athletic captain decided to get
up a ball team for the unit and asked
those who wanted to try out for theI
squad to fall. -inline. I fell out with
the others because the idea sort of
appealed to me.
"We had exactly one baseball, one
bat and one glove. The captain took
us out to a level, space for our first
practice and had us all out in the field
while he batted up, flies., First one
fellow would use the glove and then
another, each having it for one
trial.
'I was way back of the rest and be-
fare I had a crack at the glove the cap-
tain knocked a 'fly that rolledto my
feet. I picked it up and threw it in.
I honestly ddn't -know I had. such
an arm, but the- ball sailed high over
the captain's head.
"'Who threw that ball?' he ordered.
I didn't answer because I thought I
would be in for a call-down.
"One of the fellows pointed me out1
to the captain and he motioned me in.
'Have you ever played baseball?' he
asked me ' -
'No sir,' I replied, inwardly quak-.
ing.
""But you threw that ball over my
head?
"'Yes sir,' still shaking. .

"Well, you are going to be our
pitcher. I'm going to make a pitcher
out of you.'
"And so he did. I worked li all sev-
enteen games for our unit, winning all
but two, one of which was a tie. And
I've been pitching ever since."
The judgment of Miller J. Huggins,
Yankee manager, will be vindicated
once more or all signs will carry to
windward. Higgins got the joyous
razz when he put Aaron Ward on
second base and for a time it seemed
as if the razzes were right. But Ward
stuck to the matter of learning how
to play second and this spring looks
better than ever. He is working with
Everett Scott in faultless style, and
performing the one hundred and one
tasks around the keystone in snappy
manner. Particularly he is improving
on double plays--is getting the ball
over to Pipp with greater speed than
ever.
Fred Schliebner, first baseman ob-
tained from the Little Rock club of the
Southern league,;'has won a place in
the Brooklyn infield. Manager Wilbert
Robinson has decided to start . the
coming championship season with
Schliebner on first base,.and -although
not needed, Manager Robbie's deci-
sion to retain Schliebner has been
approved by "Squirt Ebbets. Schlieb-
ner, after a slow tart, attracted the
attention of his manager by his bat-
ting and fielding, and Uncle Robbie hgs
had nothing but praise for the new-
-comer.
Deacon Everett Scott, perennial star .
of American league shortstops, who
will complete his 1,000th consecutive
ball game on or about Apri .30; is
making rapid strides toward condition
at the Yanks' training camp in New
Orleans. Scottie looks better now than

Finals in the All-campus wrestling
tournament, were held Wednesday:
night before a large crowd of fans in
the wrestling room at Waterman gym-
nasium.
In the opening bout Doty won the
judges decision by riding his opponent
for the full ten minutes. Karbel took
the second match . in short order,
throwing his opponent, Shepherd,
with a halt nelson and a scissors.
The third go proved to be even
from the start, but Goldman, the vic-
tor, displayed the most aggressiveness
and was awarded the victory when the
points were totaled. Gruebauer's op-
ponent failed to show for the fohrth
bout and the former won by forfeit.
Powell wound up the evening's festiv-
ities by gaining a decision over Sohn.'
Winners of the above matches were
awarded the championship in their
classes. They will receive numerals
and jerseys for their prowess, while
the five ruiner-ups will be awarded
and start the sap flowing. He does
not expect hard games from the cotton
growers but takes into consideration
that Alabama may spring a surprise as
is likely with Mississippi A. and M. -
FRESHMEN TAKE
GYM MEET PLACES
Pretty work by M. M. Brown, '25L,
in winning first place in the compe-
tition o4 the parallel bars . featured
the gym meet held 'yesterday afte r
i noon in Waterman gymnasium. Out of
the four events, freshmen captured
three.
After the meet, Dr. George A. May
declared that while the work of the
contestants on the parallel bars was
good, the other events were only med-
iocre, and improvement will be neces-
sary before a gym team can be or-
ganized for outside competition. How-
evar, he intends to devote more time
in the future to coaching the gym-
nasts, and it is -possible -that the pres-
ent -group will form the nucleus for
a future gym team.
All first place winners will receive
their class numerals and jerseys and
it is under consideration to give the
second place winners awards alsp. -
