lICHIGAN MLTS NOTRE DAME TEAMi * * 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.

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.

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.
