'The quintet has been weakened greatly by the loss of three of the five regulars of last year's aggrega- tion but, an abundance of material from the 1916 freshman team and the reserves is on hand and Coach Pasini believes he can secure a good com- bination from these men. Captain Richardson, last year's for- ward, and Norman Clark, his running mate, are the two letter men on hand. Richardson will be shifted to center for the Michigan game because of his experience, although Pasini will try to develop a new center for the later games on the schedule. Howard, Younger, and Druckenbrod the other three members of the Case team that won the Ohio conference' basketball title last season, are in the service. Howard played center, while the other two performed at the guards, have come up from last year's are out for these jobs and Houriet, McCune, and Rogers stand out as likely men for the positions. Zimmermacher, center, Meredith, forward, and Canfield and Moriarity guards, have come up from last year's scrubs, and will give the football can- didates a run for the open positions. Coach Pasini is not expressing any great confidence in his team for he does not yet know how they will develop, but he hopes to make a good showing against the Wolverines Sat- urday night. Coach Farrell sent his men through a fast workout yesterday during which Sedgwick the Varsity miler, ran a mile in good time. The lanky miler was pushed around the cork track with Parks and Johnson running be- hind him as pace makers and as he finished the ten laps the dash men were some laps behind. In the dashes Johnson and Parks were given a short drill in making a quick get-a-way at the report of the gun and were also timed in the short dashes. Both of the men made the dashes in fast time and Johnson looks as the best competition which Coach Farrell will give the athletes of the Conference teams. Though Steve does not intend to time the boys in the sprints before the holidays he is expecting some pleasant surprises when he pulls forth the indicator. tRA!
