Besides this, the annual fraternity relay race will also be held. Entries for the two contests are now being accepted at the office in Waterman gymnasium. The dates of the meets will be announced later. Men interested in the all-campus track meet are signing up for the event every day at the Intramural office. Most of them are already in training for their favorite events in which they expect to prove the best of the field of competitors. Suitable rewards in the form of a sweater and numerals for those making five points will be award- ed after the meet. Entries for the fraternity track meet are being ac- cepted also at this time. MICHIGA+N DROPIN 816 TENSTANDING, Wolverines Rest Up After Long Trip From Minneapolis; Lineup in a deadlock for the first place with Chicago in the Big Ten race. Chicago reached the top rung by virtue of its defeat of Michigan, with five victories and one defeat for its record. Michigan was relegated to fifth place receiving its second Conference defeat at the hands of the strong Minnesota quintet.

Pitching pro- spects are not bright enough to war- rant hopes of a "hitless wonder" com- bination, which can win games without the help of eminent club-swingers. Little is known of the material with which the coach will have to work. Kipke and iaggerty, center fielder and second baseman, respectively, are the only other veterans of last year's cam- paign who will be back on the diamond this season, and as both of these men are playing basketball at present, they will not be out until later in the sea- son. Last year's freshman team brought out numerous prospects for the Wolverines, but most of these,men either were forced out of school on account of scholastic difficulties or other reasons, with the result that Coach Fisher is not at all certain re- garding the caliber of material now available. Battery Men at. Work !The battery men continue to goI through their paces daily at the field house, and Fisher expects to have a fair line on the ability of his pitchers in a few weeks.

The suc- cessful men will represent Michigan in the National Intercollegiate Bowl- ing Assodiation- There is every reason to believe that a creditable and dependable team will be rounded out of the aspirants, who are working out daily at the Union alleys, and the officials in charge at the Intramural office are expecting to make a grand start by taking the measure of the University of Kentucky team, which will be the first to be encountered on this season's schedule. The exact date for the opening match has not been set, as the head- quarters of the bowling league are located at Yale and the authorities there have not announced the exact time for the playing of the games on their schedule. and Yankees cop their fourth straight pennants the coming campaign? Ans- wer. Ouside once more. If these two clubs continue to hog the limelight much longer western fans will feel about as did a famous humorist when the Dodgers won the pennant in 1920. le said "Thank heav- en for the Dodgers, they kept us out of Philadelphia," or somehing like that. The Noestern fans jsoon will welcome a flag in any town if some club will only grab one away from New York. As was announced in yesterday's Daily the bowling teams of the frater- nities entered inthe Western Confer- ence Bowling Tournament will resume their campaign for the initial honors of being the best bowlers among the organizations at the Big Ten schools at the Union alleys tonight. The following are expected to com- pete in this event: Delta Sigma Pi Beta Phi Delta, Delta Sigma Delta, Sigma Phi Epsilon, Pi Kappa Alpha Zeta Beta Phi, Chi Phi, Theta Xi As soon as the summary of the scores of the teams made at the other Conference schools is received from the Intramural department of OhioI E t C t ivrity hlz vin r -illh I Saturday UncertainI for third place, now holds undisputed varsity basketball mentor. !in more ways than one.
