ful whether there are very many who
have ever won four. Oliphant won
four "P's" at Purdue and he possesses
a string of sweaters that could clothe
the German standing army. Hockey
isn't a . new sport to the all-around
athlete either, as he played several
years in high school and captained the
team one season.
Harvard Will Play 31 Baseball Games
Cambridge, Jan. 9.-Harvard will
play 31 baseball games this season, 12
of which are to be staged away from
home. Tufts, one of the Crimson's
strongest opponents last year, has
been dropped and a date left open for
Princeton in case of a tie. Syracuse
has displaced Holy Cross on the chart.

Hanover, Jan. 9.-Dartmouth and
Brown will get together for a grid-

games will comprise the list booked.

Say, Fellows'
Here is the One Big-
gest Opportunity of
the New Year to Buy
VARSITY TO BE STRONG
ON DASHES THIS YEAR
O'Brien, Schofield and Zoellin Should
Make FastTrio in
Sprints
Michigan should be particularly
well fortified in indoor short sprints
during the coming track season, even
though the Wolverines lost the fast-
est collegiate man in American last
spring.
Material to crowd into the breach
when the 50-yard dash is megaphoned
to the dressing rooms has not swamped
Coach Farrell with the ptess of .num-
bers as yet, but a few instances of
great speed at short distances stand
out most conspicuously. Especially is
this true in a trio of instances.
Obie O'Brien, Le Scofield, and Fritz
Zoellin are the Varsity athletes in
question who have sufficient of the
"swift" to warm any pair of track slip-
pers down the half century stretch,
the new Wolverine gym indoor dis-
tance t'o be used this season.
In running a distance of this kind,
one thing stands out as a great as-
set to leading the field to the wire-
a fast getaway. Obie stands out among
the foremost in college at guessing
the time when the hammer will come
Into close harmony with the cartridge,
and profiting thereby. Many were the
occasions last winter when he and
Smith beat it down the stretch side by
side, with one leading on one trial,
the other in the next.
Hardy of Notre Dame was the only
man in indoor meets last year to con-
quer either of the Michigan men in
fast time, who is a likely contender
against the Wolverines this season.
Scofield gave both-last year's leader
and O'Brien an excellent chance to
display their speed last year, and
should become even more proficient
at taming the timers' watches before
he lines up at the tape against any
foes.
Zoellin is possibly a better hurdler
than a sprinter. But the blond sopho-
more isn't distanced in the fastest kind
of going. He too, should be found im-
proved if allowed to run in the sprints
this season.
Others exhibited ability to pile the
cinders high last spring and between
halves of the Washington game last
November, and undoubtedly will be
heard of as the present season prog-
resses.
Oliphant to Try
for Fifth Sport
Hockey to Be New Branch for Army
Star; Has Letters in Four
Branches
West Point, N. Y., Jan. 9.-Elmer
Oliphant will try to win his "A" in a
fifth sport this winter.
Oliphant is the only athlete who has
ever won his "A" in four branches of
the Army sports and now he is de-
termined to win a .fifth. Oliphant has
been awarded his letter in football,
track, baseball and basketball and this
year he will try for the hockey seven.
Hockey is the only sport left and the
gridiron star has announced his in-
tention of winning a berth on the
Army team if possible.
Elmer reported to the basketball
team this winter and was counted
upon as a regular on the courts, but
he fids that basketball and hockey
conflict, so for the present basket-
ball will be passed up and he will de-
vote his energies to hockey.
If Oliphant wins his "A" with the
hockey team he may establish a new
record, for it is doubtful whether any
athlete at any college has ever won
letters in five different sports from a
single institution. In fact, it is doubt-
