Official Call Has Not Been Issued But
Big Squid of Athletes Are
in Active Training
GOOD RELAY QUARTET IN SIGHT
Nothing pertaining to good perform-
ances will be expected from any of the
men in thie early stakes of training;
but the coach wishes it understood
that the proximity of several of the in-
door meets necessitates an early start
if the Wolverine speedsters are rgive
the best account of themselves.

although no official call has as yet
been made to those who have inten-
tions of trying out for the team.
The coach stated last night that
his annual call to the track men would
not be sent out until after Christmas,
but that it would do none of the as-
pirants any harm to get in a little
early work. Every afternoon for the
past week the coach has handled an

champion half milers-Carroll, Ufer,
Murphy, Donnelly, and Fox-is the
only regular track man not back in
school this year who didn't graduate
last spring. Red is staying out this
year, but plans to reenter school next
fall. Murphy graduated from the lit
department last spring, but is taking
law and is eligible for Varsity com-
petition again, so that the famous two
mile relay team should be a strong one
again this winter. No Michigan man

licking to the Ithacans by a narrow
margin of less than five yards in a

With 43 fraternity and 24 boarding
house basketball teams using the new
Waterman gym on four nights a week
and the military and naval corps using
the floor every Wednesday night, no
opportunity is given at present for
interclass indoor baseball and basket-
ball.
Both of these lines of winter sport
probably will start soon after the hol-
idays, though they may not be sched-
uled until next semester. In the
meantime the winter athletes will
have to be content with fraternity and
boarding house basketball, fraternity
bowling, wrestling, boxing, and track
practice.
Guards for the 'lights and nets will
have to be put up before indoor base-
ball can be played. This cannot be
done before the holidays. Soon after
the holidays nets will be installed for
two indoor baseball diamonds. At
this time last year the game was well
under way.
Students who seek exercise but who
do not belong to any teams of sport
playing their regular schedules will be
allowed to use the gym in the even-
ing this year, if plans which' are now
under consideration can be carried
out. These users of the gym will be
organized into handball teams and will
be put at other sports which can be
gotten up in a hurry.
D. S. Lenzner Made Honor Graduate
News was received yesterday from

OUTLOOK GOOD FOR WRESTLING
TOURNAMENT NEXT SEMESTER
Prospects for a strong wrestling
club are better this year than ever
before. A number of old club mem-
bers and some new men are busily
working out in Waterman gymnasium
every day, although not much work
will be done until next semester. No
tournament matches will take place
until next semester, but a meeting of
the clurb will be held soon, probably
Friday, to get a line on the material
that can be depended upon this year.
