THE MICHIGAN DAILY

PAGN


NEXT THREE GAES TO
DECIDE BIG TEN TITE
UUZICKA BEING RELIED ON FOR
A GREAT SHARE OF COMING
BATTLES
Weather permitting, and other ele-
ments equally favorable, the Michi-;
gan baseball squad now at Chicago
will attempt to prove this afternoon
that they are better baseball players
than the Windy city team with whom
they have split even so far this sea-
son. . ;,
The game this afternoon is the first
of the last three Conference games
the Wolverines have on their sched-
ule, the other two coming Monday
and Tuesday at Iowa City and Ur-
bana, respectively. Ruzicka, who has
already beaten the Chicago team
once, is scheduled to hurl this aft-
ernoon so that he may have time to
rest up for the Illinois game, the one
that may decide the Conference title.
Captain Glenn, although his arm is
not as good as it was at the begin-
ning of the season, hopes to pitch
against Iowa, Monday.
Have Three Hard Games
Without a doubt the Wolverines
have the three hardest games of the
season still before them, in spite of
the fact that they have beaten two
of the teams and split even with the
third. Barring reinjury of his knee or
a bad day Ruzicka should win both
of his games which will make the
Maize and Blue winners of the cham-
pionship. He has to outpitch the best
hurler cf the Big Ten, Klein of Illi-
nois, to do this.
If Glenn is in shape he should be
able to hold the Iowa crew down, so
that his teammates can collect enough
hits and runs to put the second of the
three games on ice. Hamilton, who
will undoubtedly oppose him, is not a
liberal man when it comes to hand-
ing out hits and walks so Bob will
have to do some real hurling.
Title Rests on Hurlers
Perhaps never in the history of the
Conference has the title rested so
completely on the relative merits of
pitchers. College ball fans in the cen-
tral west are looking forward to threes
pitchers' battles equal to or better
than any they have ever witnessed.
Neither of the four teams taking
part in the games of the next four
days can be confident of victory, not
even Michigan who has won from
them all for her victories were in
games that showed that her oppo-
nents were real baseball players. The
breaks, to a certain extent, favored
the Maise and Blue in her victories
and every ,supporter of the present
leaders of the Conference is hoping
that lightning may for once strike
twice in'the same place.
Lundgren Versus Huff
Lundgren himself is . not entirely
confident of winning all three of the
games but he does have hopes of be-
ing victorious enough to accomplish
the end which he hasworked for, the
winning of the title.
A peculiar feature of the race this
year is that the Michigan coach is
proving or disproving that he is a
better man than his former master,
George Huff. The former Cub pitch-
er, the present Wolverine mentor,
learned his first baseball of the Illi-
nois coach. Now comes the test of
whether or not he has learned more
than the man who has turned out
more Big Ten champions than any
other single individual.

MICHIGAN AND MAROONS
MEET FOR SECOND TIME
WOLVERINES' CHANCES FOR WIN-
NINE( MEET ARE UNUSUALLY
GOOD)
Michigan meets Chicago in the sec-
ond dual track and field meet be-
tween the two teams this season this
afternoon at Stagg field, and chances
for a Maize and Blue victory are
bright.
With Johnson, the Wolverine star,
in the high and low hurdles, 100 yard
dash, and the broad jump, Michigan
is sure of at least four firsts for a
total of 20 points, and if Steve de-
cides to use Johnson in the high
jump, .tnother would be taken. This.
event is well taken care of by twol
capable men, Latir and Haigh, and if
Johnson goes into this contest, the
Wolverines should make a clean
sweep of the high jump.

What with the new athletic train-

and their usual inherent ability to
learn the rudiments of things quickly,
there are very few who do not fol-

year has been splendid, and we are
sure that they at least do not cast re-
marks at visiting players as has been

Their use of elaborate adjectives in

that the presence of more of them at
the games will not detract from the
value of the game. Anyone who is
paralyzed and cannot see over the hat
of some lady in front of him, will find
her lady enough and good sport
enough to remove it at the slightest
suggestion on his part. Those who
aren't paralyzed, and who have their
neck muscles intact, can generally
see if they want to, or else move to
another seat.

Francis F. McKinney, '16, managing
editor of The Daily in 1915-16, will
enter Annapolis within a week to train
for a commission in the navy.
McKinney enlisted in the navy in

yoeman. He served for a time in the
fire control division of the U. S. S.
Arizona, but was sent to the naval
training school at Pelham Bay Park,
N. Y. a short time ago. His appoint-
ment to the military academy at An-
napolis comes as a reward for profici-
ency shown in his work up to this
time.
