VARSITY BASKETBALL.
Varsity basketball at Michigan is the
question of the day. Petitions favor-
ing the proposition will be circulated
by the student council today, and will
be presented at the meeting of the
board in control of athletics tomor-
row afternoon.
Opinions favoring and condemning
the adoption of basketball as a Varsity
sport have been printed in The Daily
since the opening of the question one
week ago.
Arguments opposing the proposition
may be summed up under two heads:
First, that basketball will detract from
the/other Varsity sports. Second, that
a satisfactory schedule for a Varsity
basketball team could not be arranged.
Michigan ought to have a Varsity
basketball team. We have come to
this conclusion after weighing the ar-
guments pro and con. If the incep-
tion of the court game as a major
sport will tend to weaken the other
departments, we do not favor it. But
will basketball be a detriment to foot-
ball, track, and baseball? We believe
that it will supplement them, and that
it will act as a constructive, not a de-
structive, agent in Michigan athletics.
There are three angles, chiefly, from
which to consider the question. First,
from the standpoint of the athletes
themselves. Second, from the mone-
tary return which the sport will bring.
Third, from the standpoint of student
interest which the sport will arouse.
Taking up the first point, basket-
ball will prove beneficial to the foot-
ball and baseball men in keeping them
in condition through the winter
months. It will attract athletes to
Michigan who prefer basketball, but
who also engage in some other form
of athletics asfootball, track, or base-
ball.
Secondly, we will consider basket-
ball from the financial standpoint.
Probably Varsity basketball will not
be a money-maker any more than
track or baseball. Football is the one
sport which can be counted on to keep
filled the treasury of the athletic as-
sociation. On the other hand, when
we consider the value of basketball as
a major sport, it doesn't appear as
though it will be a drag upon the
athletic association funds. The fact
that the football season just closed
was unusually prosperous financially
makes this a good time to inaugurate
another Varsity sport. From the
standpoint of finances it has often been
argued that basketball would be un-
profitable because the gym was too
small to accommodate a crowd large
enough to offer an appreciable mone-
tary return. The gymnasium floor has
been enlarged and is now practically
twice its former size. The capacity
of the gym with the present number
of exits is 1,500, according to the su-
perintendent of buildings and grou.nds,
But an athletic official has stated that
with the proper number of exits the
building could safely accommodate be-
tween 2,500 and 3,000 persons, A
crowd of spectators of this size would
certainly "pay."
Thirdly, we will consider basket-
ball from the standpoint of student in-
terest. An athletic official has stated
that among the interclass sports
basketball is the most popular. That
there is a general interest in basket-
ball is shown by the fact that today
councilmen are circulating petitions
among the' students to ask the board
in control to establish the game as a
Varsity sport. During the past week
The Daily has attempted to get stu-
dent opinion on the proposition, and
so far we have encountered only one
who has opposed it.
Tomorrow afternoon Michigan stu-
dents will ask the board in control of
athletics to add basketball to the list
of Varsity sports. We hope the board
will see fit to establish the game at
Michigan.
JUNIOR BACKSROSENTHAL
ENGINEER DISPLEASED WITH
IIANDLING OF CLASS BASKET-
BALL GAMES.
Editor, The Michigan Daily:
Having read Mr. Rosenthal's com-
munication of Tuesday morning, re-
garding the bad condition of intramur-
al athletics, I wish to say that I agree
with him and I think that his criticism
is just. Moreover, I think that most of
the students who have been connected
with interclass athletics will say the
same thing.
Interclass athletics are supposed to
be a means whereby students may get
physical exercise and development and
yet the intramural department tries
to rush through the schedules in the
various sports and determine campus
championships instead of fulfilling the
object for which interclass athletics
were formed.

Mr. Rosenthal spoke particularly of
football and baseball. I wish to add
a few things in regard to the basket-
ball situation. The report of the in-
tramural department shows that 450
men took part in class basketball last Prescription Store
year. Out of this number, 350 men are Coe. State & N. University
eliminated during the first two -weeks
of the tournament and less than 100
men who remain are given the advant-
age of any appreciable amount of
physical exercise, which all of the 450 sires. Wouldn't it be better to run
