Monroe, Wuerful and Munger Corn'
1lete List Of 19 NMe Who Will
stun At Relays
SPENCE WILL COMPETE
Coach Stephen J. Farrell announced
the final makeup of the track team
which will represent Michigan in the
Ilinois Ielays Saturday night at Ur-
bana with the addition of three more
men after the 440. and mile tryouts
held, yesterday afternoon. This brings
the total to 19 instead of 20, the num-
ber previously announced as likely
to make the trip.
The three men added yesterday
were Monroe and Wuerful, milers,
and Munger, 'a quarter miler. The
other 16 men already announced are
Capt. Phil Northrop and Prout, pole
valters; Hester and Lasser in the
dashes; Ohlheser, Mueller, Barton,
and Leonard, quarter milers; Lamont,
Beals, Hunt and Pfluke in the half
mile; Cooper and Jones, hprdlers
and Hornberger and Iskendervian, mil-
ers.
No Entries in Two Events -
Two of the ten individual events at
Illinois will find Michigan without
- representation. Lovette has not yet
done sufficient work with the shot to
warrant his ,entry as the field will
probably be of high calibre and over-,
doing at this stage of training might
injure his chances in later meets. The
high jump is the other event in which
there probably will be no Michigan
entrant as no good jumpers have been
uncovered,
Coach Farrell has named five quar-
ter milers, four of whom will run in
the milesrelay while the other will
probably start in the 300 yard event.
In yesterday's race Munger showed
excellent form to win in 52 4-5 see-
onds, which was better time than that
of some of the winners in last Satur-
day's trials and even at that he only
managed to nose out Brown by three
or four inches. With Munger, Mueller,
Ohlheiser, Barton and Leonard to pick
from, Coach Farrell should have a
mile quartet that will make matters
interesting for the other entries and
upset some f the pre-meet dope
which considers Michigan especially
weak in the relays this year.
Strong Four Mile Team Entered
The four mile relay will find Mich
igan relying on Hornberger, Isken
derian, Monroe and Wuerful with the
former probably runing at the an-
chor position. Horferger has shown
good form in both mile and half mile
as well as in the two mile. His time
of 4 min. 28 sec. last Saturday was
considered good in view of the condi-
tion of the track and Iskenderian is
capable of around 4 mn. 30 sec. In
yesterdays competition for theother
two places on the team, Monroe show-
ed real class in spite of his knee in-
jury which was sustained in a fall
Saturday and turned in a time of
4:30 2-5 yesterday and looked as if
he were good for several seconds
better. Wuerfurl made 4:35 1-5 yester-
day to win the other place.
Another factor which enters into
this race is that the four mile relay
will renew one of the oldest rivalries
of the meet, between Michigan and Il-
linois for the Mike Mason trophy.
Each team has won the trophy twice
and another victory for either team
will mean permanent possession of
the cup, first offered in 1923.
SpeCe Primed For Meet
The appearance of Spence, star
hurdler of Detroit City college, in the
field house yesterday for a practice on
cinders was one of the features of
yesterday's Workouts. Coach Farrell
believes Spence better than Grumbles
whom the A. A. U. picked as }rational
champion in the 220 low hurdle evet,
and favors him to win the 2 at the
Relays.
This was Spence's first trial on cin-
ders this year as Detroit has a board
track. In spite of this handicap, he
worked two fast heats in the lows
with Cooper and Jones, who will make
up the Michigan entry at Urbana.

NEW YORK, Feb. 22.-Bab Itu'h
will make the first move towards net-
tlement of his financial disagreement
witl-j the New York Yankees ovr;
terms for the 1927 playing season
early in March. Tihe move, a hop of
2,600 miles from California to New
York, will bring the home run king
into the Yankee offices for the open-1
ing of the parleys on March 2.!
It is the belief of the managementt
that on the day after the meeting; a
satisfied Babe, duly signed for at
least another season, will be heading
south with the remainder of the Yan-
kee regulars to report at the St.,
Petersburg, Fla., training camp byl
March 6. ,f 'f
There were no indications today of
the sum which' Col. Jacob Ruppert
expects to name in order to appease
the mighty slugger. Estimates ranged
all the way from $60,000 to $100,000
a year with the general average
struck at $75,000. Ruth has, said that
failure to increase the $52,000 salary
he has received for several years will
bring about his retirement from base-
ball. He returned a contract at that
figure mailed him by the Yankees
several weeks ago.
Ruth's correspondence with the
club, in addition to setting a (late for
contract discussion, said that he has
attained fine condition while working
on a moving picture in Hollywood,
Cal.
His weight is down to 224 pounds
and his neck is,16 inches. His chest
measures 38 inches normally and 45
inches expanded. His waist is 39 3-4
inches; hips, 40; thigh, 241-2; calf,
16; biceps, 151-2, and forearm, 121-2.
Daily training drills, consist of box-
ing, handball, rope-skipping and run-,
ning, in addition to the weight reduc-
ing incurred in working long hours
before the klieg lights. In winning
his tussle with avordpupois, Ruth has
lost 8 3-4 inches of his wtivstline. in
two weeks.

ST. LOUIS, Mo., Feb. 22.-Revamp-
ing an old motto, the managers of the
Browns and Cardinals have evidently
adopted the slogan "spare the work-.
outs and spoil the player" at their
spring training camps. Manager Dan
Howley of the Browns has announced
at Tarpon Springs, Forida, that his}
training camps have not been "places+
of rest" in the past and will not be
in the future. His three hour work-
out on the first day of training gave
weight to his words. He said he
favored one daily workout to last,
"until they've had enough."
Manager Bob O'Farrell of the Card-
inals who will put his charges through
their first session today at Avon Park,
Florida, favors two workouts a day
because he said it wasydifficult to "get
the men tired in only one."

NEW YORK, Feb. 22---Ambitious
rookies and seasoned veterans alike
were reaching for the linament bottle
today in the Giants training camp at
Sarasota, Fla.
The Giants pried I he lid off their
1927 season yesterday with a fanfare
of batting practice and the whiz of
spcedballs under the dircetion o lo-
ger Bresnahan, coach, who subbed at
the inaugural for Manager John A\lc-
I Graw, delayed in his trip to Florida
from Havana, by a storm. Ten players
took part in two workouts.
Young pitchers, young catchers, and
a new infielder, Rogers Hornsby, step-
ped about briskly in the hot sun of the
morning and the hotter sun of the af-
ternoon. Hornsby, between posing for,
photographs, fielded for a time around
second base, where he campaigned as
manager of the world champion St.
Louis Cardinals last year.
Three southpaw hurlers, Jack Bent-
ley, Harry Courtney, and Dutch Hen-
ry, all veterans of one league or an-
other, came under Bresnahan's watch-
ful eye in an effort to eliminate un-
ne ssary windup motions. Howard
Holl d and Ned Porter, right hand
hurlers, whipped several fast ones
over in batting practice and bunting
drill.

Although Stanford played hard and

After shaving -VHAT?
WAHEN you finish your shave, what do you do
for your face? Probably wash off the lather
and let it go at that. Here's a better idea. Slap on
a few drops of Aqua Velva, Williams new scientific
after-shaving liquid. It helps the skin retain its
needed natural moisture-keeps it flexible and com-
fortable all day long. 1In big 5-oz. bottles -5,oC
