Varsity Track Aggregation Prepares
for Saturday's Encounter
With Catholics
WOLVERINES' PROSPECTS FOR
VICTORY SEEM TO BE BRIGHT
Varsity Quarter-Milers Win Struggle
from Freshmen Team Which
Shows Good Form
Remodeled Waterman gymnasium
will officially celebrate its baptism
Saturday evening. Notre Dame is to
be the guest of honor for the enter-
tainment. The form of ceremony is
track.
Michigan should have little trouble
annexing the long end of the score by
a fairly comfortable count. Last Sat-
urday night Illinois took a dual meet
from the Catholics 58 1-2 to 36 1-2 at
Champaign.
Barring the 50-yard dash, always a
conjecture, Michigan should place
first in all events except the pole
vault, hurdles, and possibly the quar-
ter mile.
The Catholics are more than likely
to have killings of the first two places
in the pole climbing event. Yeager
turned in 11 feet against the Illini.
He is the same athlete who won the
event here out doors last spring.
In preparation for Saturday's open-
ing, Coach Farrell gave many of his
athletes rather strenuous workouts
yesterday. In the shot putting pit
Cross, Smith, and Walls enjoyed a
much better sweat than would have
been the case outside. All of them
were hoisting the pill upstairs, in the
dirt pit, and each made many heaves
in excess of the 40-foot mark.
Hold Relay Race.
The big feature o the afterno -
was the set-to between the Varsity
440 men and the freshman quarter-
milers. The intention of the coach
was to run a four-man team in the
evept, but the failure of Butler to ap-
pear until late caused the event to
be turned into a five-man team on
both sides.
The Varsity won with a 22-yard
margin, but it was a scrap through-
out, with the older men never taking
a commanding lead. The time, which
was good for this stage of the season,
was not given out.
Butler, of the freshmen, ran the
fastest race of the 10 men, clipping a
fifth of a second from the time of
Fontanna, who ran opposite him. Both
were in position four on the quintets.
The time of the freshmen for the
mile and a quarter was but 3 4-5 sec-
onds slower than the pick of the Var-
sity.
For the big team, Huntington, Har-
dell, Scofield, Fontanna and Robinson
ran in order named. The freshmen
based their chances on -Hunt, Schus-
ter, Forbes, Butler, and Stoll, who ran
in this order. Hardell ran in the
fastest time aside from Butler and
Fontanna, with Scofield following
next.
Hardell Pulls Away.
Hunt and Huntington ran the first
lap in the same time, but Hardell
drew away from Schuster by a 12-
yard margin. From then on the Var-
sity led the procession, widening the
distance at every step, with the ex-
ception of the Fontana-Butler duel,
when the freshmen closed the gap by
a scant margin.
Captain Carroll is the only man
who is expected to run up many
points at the expense of the Catholic
contenders., Provided Eddie is sent
intosboth the half and themile, few
persons present will expect other
than a Carroll victory. It is rather
doubtful whether the coach will let
Eddie participate in both, unless the
stage of the meet requires drastic
measures.
GIRLS' BASKETBALL SQUADS
TO BE ANNOUNCED TOMORROW
Class teams in women's basketball
have been picked from the squad and
the selection will be made public to-
morrow. Miss Alice Evans, physical
director and basketball coach, an-
nounced last night that she had de-
cided on the entire personnel of both
regular and substitute teams and that
notes would be sent to the successful
candidates sometime today.
This event, awaited with much in-
terest by all women on the campus,
has been hanging fire during the past
week, pending reports from the
eligibility committee. Of the 64 names
sent to the committee, only six were
reported ineligible, so the women's
basketball situation is not greatly af-
fected. It was hinted, however, that
the list of names to be published to-
morrow will contain some surprises
to those who have been watchirg

BASEBALL STRIKE *
IS DECLARED OFF *
New York, Feb. 14.-The base- *
ball strike is all off. David Fultz, *
president of. the baseball players' *
fraternity, this afternoon issued a
statement stating he had released *
players from their pledges to the *
fraternity, providing the league *
owners would not discriminate *
against the fraternity members. *
As the 1917 contracts contain a *
clause promising not to discrim- *
mate against the fraternity mem- *
mers the strike was automatically *
called off. *
Yale, Princeton, Colby, Stevens, Le-
high, and Rensaeller Polytechnic in-
stitute are members.
The colleges in each section meet
each other once a season. Matches
are rolled on the home alleys of each
school, and the results are tele-
graphed. On March 24 the winner of
the western end meets and rolls the
winner of the eastern end to decide
the intercollegiate championship.
Captain W. J. Scltoepfle, '17,
wishes it understood that any one in
the University is eligible to compete
for a place on the team.
The next match for the team is to
be rolled Saturday night against Cor-
nell at Huston's.
The remainder of Michigan's sched-
ule includes matches with M. A. C.
Feb. 24; Oberlin, March 3, and 11-
linois, March 10.
Michigan made a grand total of
2,615 for the three games, while Syra-
cuse rolled 2,570. The totals by games
show Michigan rolled 901, 850, and
864. Syracuse ran them neck and
neck with 889, 845, and 836.

Michigan won the first contest in 'Dean Butts Has Attack of TonsilitisI
the Intercollegiate Bowling league,s
defeating Syracuse three straightt
games.
The new league which Michigan has
joined is divided into two sections
east and west. Six colleges are mem-1
bers in each section. The western
end of the league is comprised of -
Michigan, Illinois, Syracuse, Cornell,
Assistant Dean W. H. Butts of the
College of Engineering and Architec-
ture is confined to his home with an
attack of tonsilitis. The illness is not
serious, however, and it is expected
that Dean Butts will be up andj
around within a few days. Professor'
Theodore Running will take charge
of the work of the dean's office tem-,
high of Toledo and from Detroit West-
ern, Northwestern, and twice from
Eastern. Detroit Eastern has lost to
Central and Northwestern and has
beaten Cass Tech. while Cass Tech.
has been trimmed by Northwestern
and Eastern and has beaten Western,
which has lost all of its city games.
With this strong chance at the state
honors, it is unlikely that Central
will pass up the opportunity- to enter
the meet.

WARNING!!!1
From and after this date all the territory contained in a circle
having as it's center a small indellible point on the Dollar side of my
N. C. R.. and a radius of 2 Nautical Miles shall be dangerous ground,
and the public, particularly the Kodak Fiend, is hereby warned to come
within thesdescribed territory and take the precaution of investigating
the ruthless offers I shall make each and every day on one LEADER
Kodak.
Here is where I stand, and Here is my proposition.
I have about 50 slightly shopworn and second-hand Kodaks which
I am going to move either into your possession or into the junk. They
are all good, most of them just as good as a new one, but I have de-
cided upon this policy and nothing can stop me now. The Result: In
my window each day will appear one Kodak so cheap that you will be
ashamed to carry it away, in the broad daylight, so cheap that no sane
nman who ever even thought of a Kodak can go by it. If you don't
want a Kodak yourself you should buy one of these for your little sister
to keep her pencils in.
This Fool Proposition starts today and lasts several weeks. The
biggest bargains are always put on first, however, so get busy,
M. A. C., and Oberlin.
In the east, porarily.
