contests, take place at Des Moines.

Coach Farrell has been letting his
men off with light practice sessions
- this week, but when the squad goes
down to Ferry field next Monday, he
918 will hand out stiff workouts in pre-
0O paration for the meets after vaca-
wo tion. The athletes all returned from
uad the Conference struggle in good con-
on dition with the exception of Beards-
ley and Zoellin. Beardsley twisted
wo his ankle in going over a hurdle in
nce one of the preliminary heats of the
ing 60 yard hurdles, while Zoellin has sev-
in eral sore spots sustained in the same
ms, race. Captain Donnelly is rounding
bt- into shape. again as was evinced by
the Red winning fourth place in the mile
'ar- last Saturday. In a few weeks the
er- Wolverine leader expects to be back in
his best condition.
Two Nile Team Broken Up
ady Steve is planning on entering men
vill in the individual events at Des Moines,
ox. and he is trying to get two relay teams
raz together in time for the meet. The
All Maize and Blue track mentor's two
nto mile relay team was broken up when
Forbes was called to Cleveland with
me the naval auxiliary last week. Steve
ap- has been looking around for a man
nd- to run with Captain Donnelly, Stoll
ave and Sedgwick in this event but has
ard, been without success so far. Kruger
'ed- and .Messner, quarter milers, have
ght been working under Farrell in the half
mile but have not had enough prac-
Tice to make good time as yet.

the athletes for this event in Johnson,
the Zoellin, and Cook, all of whom can
re- negotiate the 220 yards in fast time.
was Coarch Farrell is having trouble in
lay finding a fourth man, but hehas hopes

last er. He has several other. men work-.
and ing out in the sprints but it is a
less question whether any of these men
will have improved enough in time
for the relays.

TEAMS HAVE 60OD RECORDS PIN
STATE BASKETBALL
CIRCLES
Basketball fans will have an oppor-
tunity to see what are probably the
two best high school basketball teams
in the state, play tonight, when De-
troit Central meets Kalamazoo Cen-
tral in W"aterman gymnasium. The
game will start at 8:15 eastern time.
Both aggregations have enviable
records, having defeated a number of
the best quintets in high school cir-
cles1throughout the state.
Teams Have Met Twice
The two teams have met twice this
season, the first game played at Kala-
mazoo, being taken by the Celery city
lads by a 23-21 count, while the sec-
ond, played at Detroit, was won by the
Blue and, White, the secre being
24-22.
While neither team has a direct
claim on the state championship, it is
conceded among- basketball fans that
these two aggregations are the best,
and had there been a tournament, the
fight would probably have centered
around them.
Defense Tactics Differ
Following are the line-ups:
IKALAMAZOO DETROIT
Vroegindewey.....LF......... Watt
VerMeulen.......RF... . Walmouth
Boerman........C...... MacElwee
Van Zandt. ....LG.E. Smokiewicz

International Magnates to Convene
New York, March 26.-Men interest-
ed in the International league met
hero yesterday, for informal confer-
ences preliminary to the regular meet-
ing of the club owners tomorrow, at
which time the fate of the league will
be decided.
It seems very doubtful that this
Class AA minor will be able to keep
going, for many of their men are dis-
posed of to the big leagues and both
Toronto and Baltimore managements
are looking for cities to fill the gap
left vacant by resignations. So far
the efforts of these men have been in
vain. There will be some effort to
form a new circuit In case the present
league is abandoned.

The Kazoo boys play a massed five- I
man defense game, the same type of
battle put up by M. A. C., while Cen-
tral plays a loose defensive game, sim-
ilar to the tactics used by Ohio State
against the Wolverines.
While both quintets are composed of
five individual stars Centrals chances
will probably depend on the work of
Walmoth at right forward and E. and
B. Smokiewicz at guards. For Kala-
mazoo, VerMeulen at right forward is
fast, and an excellent shot, while
Boerman at center is a rangy man on
the floor and good on long shots.
Stevenson of Michigan will referee
the game.
A preliminary game will be played,
beginning at 7:15 between the Fresh-
men and Company A of the First regi-
ment, inter-company champions.

r which he is
to have had
in a business
on Monday
Charley White, lightweight boxer,
who has been acting as division box-
ing instructor at Camp Custer, was
dismissed from his position at the
camp Thursday.
The dismissal comes because of
friction, it is believed, between White
and Floyd A. Rowe camp athletic di-
rector, formerly director of intramur-
al athletics at Michigan. The trouble
has been brewing for more than a
month.
White says he is going to Washing-
ton with letters and papers from the
general telling of the work he has
been doing at Custer. He says that
by progressive methods he has in-
structed more than 90 per cent of the
camp in scientific fighting, that is the
most popular form of athletics indulg-
ed in by the soldiers at Battle Creek.
He hopes to get reinstated after his
visit to Washington.
