THE MICHIGAN DAILY WOLVERINE TRACK MEN ON WAY TO DES MOINES FARRELL REFUSES TO COMIENT ON CHANCES IN DRAKE RELAYS . The Wolverine half mile relay team which left yesterday for the Drake relays will arrive in Des Moines late this afternoon. Reports from officials in charge of the meet say that a large field has entered. The entry list shows a total of 16 universities, 23 colleges, and over 30 high schools will send teams to participate. Coach Farrell refused to comment on the chances of the Maize and Blue "thletes to win their event but from the way the men have been perform- ing the past week, they are more than likely to cop first place. A crack half mile relay squad composed of soldiers from Camp Dodge will probably be one of the competitors of Steve's runners. Shearer, Jones, Kasper, and King are the men picked to represent the camp team. Shearer and Kasper are former Notre Dame stars and were on the relay squad which beat the Wolverines when the Catholics appeared in Waterman gym a year ago. Iowa Eager to See Johnson Followers of track in the Iowa dis- trict are eager to see Johnson, the Michigan star in action. Drew, form- erly of California, but now of Drake, Hoyt of Grinnell, and Butler of Du- buque college, are all starters in the special 100 yard dash event and each of these men is capable of sprint- ing the distance at a 10 second clip. The following is the list of univer- sities and colleges entered in the meet: University section: Ames, Chicago, Drake, Illinois, Iowa, Kansas, Minne- sota, Missouri, Nebraska, Notre Dame, Northwestern, Purdue, Michigan Wis- consin Washington, and Kansas Ag- ges. College section: Coe, Cornell, Des Moines, Grinnell, Hamline, Highland Park, Iowa, Wesleyan, Morningside, Penn, Simpson, Wabash, Yankton, Un- iversity of Soutth Dakota, South Da- kota Aggies, Carletton, Nebraska, Wesleyan, Dubuque, Beloit, and Knox. Hamer and Egbert To Meet Chicago Chicago will bring a two ian team here for the tennis tournament a week from Saturday and Egbert and Hamer will probably be chosen to play them. Should weather conditions be like they were yesterday afternoon the two Michigan men will have plenty to do to keep themselves warm. Several men were on the courts in spite of the gale and icicles but were unable to get up much enthusiasm. Wellford and Hamer were among those out. Army Stores Men Leave Monday The present army stores course class, which graduates Saturday, will leave Monday for Augusta, Ga., where they will enter active service. There are 139 in the class.

Varsity Prepares For First Contest Ground Keeper Thomas Puts Field in Great Shape for Initial Game To Ground Keeper Thomas go all the grapes, laurel wreaths, and what other tokens are usually donated to the most deserving. Ground Keeper Thomas has the Wolverine diamond closely resembling a billiard table in its smoothness and by strenuous ef- forts the past few days has put the playing field into excellent condition. Thomas put in many good licks while the ball players were frolicking at Columbus and after the rain of the past two days, the manager of the green sward rolled the diamond for several hours and when the men took the field for their workout yesterday afternoon, everything was ship shape. Lundgren took the uniforms out of the moth balls in the long over due trunks and sent his proteges through a hard batting and base running prac- tice. For two hours Westscott, Glenn, Goldsmith, and Ruzicka pitched to the Varsity sluggers, who, acting on signals from Lundgren, worked to de- velop the hit and run, the sacrifice and the squeeze plays. The men were doing little real slugging but showed real ability at bunting. The scrubs took care of the infield and outfield while Genebach and Mor- rison swapped tricks behind the plate. The Varsity players were given in- structions to run everything out and to keep on running whether they were put out or not. As a consequence Lundgren was able to give the men plenty of drill in scoring the single runs. This sort of team play is one thing the Wolverine mentor special- izes in. Tomorrow afternoon the Wolverines show off for the first time before the home folks, Western Reserve furnish- ing the opposition. Lundgren has not decided upon his choice of pitchers, but Glenn will probably get the call. i and then gave the infielders a chance to show what they had. After this he held a little batting practice. There is lots of room for good ma- terial. The slight turnout and the rather poor showing of this turnout shows the need of more candidates. The baseball season is expected to be a repitition of the football season. In the latter as in the baseball this spring the original practice did not show much promise but the successive evenings brought to light many more men who later made good on the team and proved in a large measure respon- sible for its successful season. r_ t htend. ,: . ,,,' : V zr ., : <.;, . ;.v ;G" ;. _. , r , . i 3.

The turnout was small in compari- son to the initial practices of former years, but this can be accounted for in large measure, because of military training. The men who are thus re- stricted from turning out, are to see Coach Mitchell, and provisions may be made to release those in the train- ing one or two nights a week. Plenty of Catchers The backstop position seemed the most popular, there being seven men out for it, while the other part of the battery had no one trying for it at all. There were two men that signed up with assistant Adrian for the pitch- ing job, one a south paw and the oth- er a right hander. Jewell, the port flinger, was used in the box against the batters and seemed to have steam. Gumm, the other candidate for the mound, was worked toward the end of the practice, and as he used nothing but a straight ball, little could be told of his work.
