than probable, it will mean that the

DATE SET FOR MARCH 17Y
Michigan's track team will meet
Harvard in the second major sport
contest to be, carded between the two
schools for 1928, according to an an-
nouncement made yesterday whichi
stated that the Crimson trackmen
would wind up their winter' schedule
in a dual, meet with the Wolverines
March 17 in Yost field house.
The track meet with the Crimson
team will usher in a series of three,
engagements between the two schools
in two major sports, as the Wolverine
baseball team will oppose Harvard
May 5 at Cambridge during its eastern
trip, while the Crimson aggregation
is scheduled to play a return engage-1
ment May 26 on Ferry field.

These engagements ily track and
baseball will establish relationships
between the two schools in every ma-
jor sport with the exception of basket-
ball, as a home-and-oume arrange-

The Harvard meet Will give the
Wolverine trackmen a total of three h
meets for the 1928 indoor season, as b
the schedule already miiades the Con-tl

March 9 and 10 at Iowa City, and w
with Cornell March 24 at Ithaca. It g
will also mean that the indoor track
team will be seen in action in the F
field house in one of the two meets
on the present schedule.
Logest Trip For Harvard
Harvard's new track schedule calls
for the longest journey ever taken by e
a Crimson aggregation and will pro- i

Sisler first gained his reputation as
a baseball player in Ann Arbor. He
played thre2 years for Wolverine ball
clubs, 1913-15 inclusive, and hung up
one of the most enviable records an
athlete ever made.
Primarily a pitcher, Sisler was too
valuable as a hitter to be confined to
that alone, and he played center field
for the Wolverines when not on the
mound.

Sisler To Be Traded
It has been considered a certainfly
in major league circles that George
Sisler, former Michigan star and now
with tile St., Louis Browns, will be
traded to Washington in a three-cor-
nered deal with Detroit.
Waghington is not alone in its at-
tempts to secure the former Wolver-
ine, for at least three other teams
would like to get Disler. Cleveland,
which is expected to dispose of George
H-e has been more than a member,
however-he has been captain, mana-
ger, outfielder, first baseman, and pit-
cher to list his material attributes.
Further than this, he has been the
general inspiration for the Brownstin
this stretch of time-he has conrtibu-
ted immeasurably to the morale of his
team. He has been a perfect gentle-
man at all times and an asset to the
St. Louis club.
If the Browns do trade Sisler they
are entitled to a material consider-
ation in players or money or both.
Sisler is an institution in St. Louis;
he belongs there unless some good
reason arises to the contrary.
Sisler is one of the four Big League
stars who have spent all or practical-
ly all their careers with one club.
Walter Johnson, who has just retired
to manage Newark, never pitched a
big time game except with the Wash-
ington Senators-and he spent some
years in the capital.
