'WORK' AND 'BRING OUT MORE MEN' KEYNOTES
L
"Michigan has a more attractive
schedule to offer her track men this
season than she has had in many
years," Coach Farrell stated at the an-
nual meeting last night, in urging a
bigger turnout of Wolverines for the
team.
In every way except the attendance
the meeting was a big success. The
prevailing opinion last night was that
the total number out for the gathering
should not be allowed to represent the
aggregate of the men out for work this
season.
About 60 enthusiastic athletes were
present, nearly all of whom are trying
for positions on the Varsity.
"Work" was the keynote which all
the speakers sounded at some portion
of their discourse. The "bring out more
concentrate better on the work be-
fore a person.
Captain Carroll especially encourag-
ed men with mediocre ability to make
preparations to try for a place.
"A man with only mediocre ability
is often developed into a star perform-
er with hard work. It is not the star
we are after any more than it is mater-
ial which may be developed into a re-
cognized point getter," Carroll went
on.
Coach Farrell dealt particularly with
the opponents Michigan will probably
meet this season. Steve said the Var-
sity will have two excellent dual meets
in the gym, the first of which will oc-
cur just after the second semester
starts. In addition the coach will take
a squad east to one of the big inter-
collegiate indoor meets in February.
The coach also said that every man

throughout the meeting. Each speak- tion possible, and that every candidate

tivities pointed out that in compar- hands.
ison with the teams which they regu-
larly meet, or which Michigan is ex-
pected to tussle with this winter and
spring, the turnout of athletes for the
squad is very slim. Comparing Mich-
igan's usual half hundred tryouts,
some of the other schools have as
many as 200 to 300 men out at the be-
ginning of their seasons.
Professor Aigler of the Law school
told the athletes that track as well as
other forms of athletics should go
hand in hand with scholastic work.
Aigler pointed out that bodily develop-
ment also helps in the development of
greater ;mental faculties by aiding in
.keeping the brain clear and able to.
