haps the greatest first baseman ever
to grace baseball, he is now mixed'
up in talks of waivers and uncondi-
tional releases-what the outcome will
finally be, time can tell.
The latest information seems, to. be
k, that waivers being refused for. is-
ler does not mean that the Washing-
ton Senators intend to sever their re-
lations with the former Wolverine
hurling ,star and batsman, but that he
will remain on the roster.
Sisler was sold last winter by the
St. Louis Browns in their effort to
change entirely their battlefront and
it was expected quite naturally that
he, would replace thc veteran Joe
Judge at first for Bucky Harris' club.
But Judge continued, much to the
surprise of many fans who are trying,
to figure out how it is that a .275
hitter holds preference over one.rated
at .330 or better and ranked as one
of the be'st fielders of his position.
What will develop as aanxesult of
this latest embryo shakeup few know
and less are willing to conjecture. It
may mean nothing; it may mean that
Sisler will get another chance as a-
regular either in the field or at first as
his many supporters wish.

or from the Indians, .,winning by
scores of 10-5 and 8-5.
However the victory of the base-
ball nine was offset by a decisive de-
feat of the Wolverine tennis team at
the hands of Illinois by a 7-2 count.-
Then on Monday the golf team even-
ed up matters by subduing their Il-
lini opponents, 13-5, over the Barton
Hills course.
The Michigan and Illinois basket-
ball teams did not meet this season.
But the Wolverines iray be given the
edge, as they finished fifth in the Big
Ten standings, while the Illini were
in ninth place. In the race for dual
meet swimming honors, Michigan and
Illinois tied for first,' although they
did not oppose each other in a dual
meet. The Wolverine natators show-,
ed their superiority in winning the
Conference meet by a wide. bargin,
Illinois tying with Iowa for fifth
place.
Last year Michigan held the edge
over Illinois in their sports rivalry.
The Maize and Blue teams scored
victories in football, basketball, golf,!
and dual track. The Indians' only win
was scored in wrestling. On the base=.
ball diamond the team-s broke even
in two games.

Construction Co., builders of the new
building. hope to have it ready for
the summer school students, and its
opening by next fall, is assured."
. The building itself is 415 feet long
and 110 feet widl, divided up intoC
three sections, the west wing, the cen-
ter, and the east wing. Both of the
wings are composed of two stories,
while the center section has three.
It is in this center that the big lobby'
will be placed with its offices for the
administrative forces. A few steps
below the lobby is the foyer from
which one can go either to the east
or west wings. On the ground floor,
directly below these. rooms will be
the rubbing rooms and the faculty
locker room as well as the oil heat-
ing plant, filters, poYi heater, and
water softener.:
The entire second and third floors
of the center section will be devoted
to locker rooms. When completed,
these rooms will contain about 3500
lockers. Large shower roonus and toil-
ets will be part of the equipment of
each floor here.
In the west section will be the main
gymnasium. This room will have an
unobstructed floor, space of 252 feet
long and 107 feet wide, making room
for four full sized basket ball courts.
Directly below the main gymnasium
will be located fourteen hand-ball
courts and thirteen squash-ball
courts. These courts will be maple
lined, and the gymnasium will have a
maple floor. Maple will be used ex-
tensively throughout the building, as
there will be 150,000 board feet of
that wood used in the construction.
The east section is divided into two
parts, the north and the south. In the
north section on the ground floor will
be a boxing and wrestling room 95
feet by 56 feet. Thisrroom gwill be
equipped with two wrestling rings
and one boxing ring, as well as two
punching bags. Directly over the box-
ing and wrestling room will be an
auxiliary gymnasium .the same size
as the room below,
The ground floor of this section
will have two swimming team locker
rooms, as the pool is on the ground
floor of the south section. This pool
,will Ue 75 feet by 35 feet with a depth
at the shallow ends of four and a half
feet sloping off to a ten foot depth
and back to eight and a half. There
