ORANGE RELAY TEAM MAKES
EXCELLENT SHOWING IN EAST
It'll never be the same place again.
It has been defiled, disgraced,
ruined, its ancient dignity trailed in
the dust.
No more will the stalwart old build-
ing gaze at its sister edifice with a
pity born of contempt. No more will
the doctor bulge his chest and say
to the society-loving youth, "Go to the
gym, yotng man."
For all activities in Waterman gym
were suspended for five minutes the
other day while a gaping throng of,
athletes watched the passage of a
procession such as had never before
crossed the floor of the Wolverine lair.
Charley, lord of the broom and pail,
his rotund features mantled with the
scarlet flush of shame, was approach-
ing through the south door, pushing
before him one of those burnished bug-
gies of Beelzebub, one of those soft-
sliding snares of silken sirens, known
in the manhood-stifling confines of the
parlor as a tea wagon. And mounted
upon this rubber-tired toter of the
Oolong was a punch bowl!
Of course, Charley claims that it
was left from the J-hop and Doc hints
darkly at blackmailing plots. But
through their mask of bravado creeps
a tell-tale look of worry. With bowed
shoulders, they pursue the tasks of
the day.
There is a blot on the fair escutcheon
of the house of Waterman.
Baton Carriers Among Best as
tory Over Dartmouth
Shows
Vic-1
Steve Farrell accompanied by about
16 carefully selected exponents of
Wolverine track ability, will leave this
evening for Syracuse where the dual
meet is to be held on Thursday.
As for the dope, even the most ac-
curate critics find it advisable to say
as little as possible on the subject.
However, Michigan is sending a
squad which did well against Notre
Dame last Saturday and the Orange
and Blue will have to produce evi-
dence better than the average to car-
ry off the honors.
Up to the present, Syracuse has tak-
en part in certain events but has not
entered a meet. The relay team has
shown up especially well by defeating
the Dartmouth quartet, which in
turn has raced against the Yale and
Harvard teams with success.
Coach Farrell's only comment when
approached on the subject was some-
thing on this order, "They are going
to have a good team -if they beat us.
We are not going to get beaten by a
bunch of rummies."
The team leaves Syracuse about 11
o'clock on the return trip and will
arrive in Ann Arbor sometime on Fri-
day.
INDOOR BASEBALL SLOW
TO START THIS SEASON
BUT TWO CLASSES APPEAR FOR
THE OPENING PRAC-
TICE
From present indications it looks as
if indoor baseball is going to have the
same slow and unenthusiastic start
that it had last year when it was in-
troduced for the first time to the cam-
pus. Last night a mere handful of
men turned out for practice. The sen-
ior engineers, contenders for first hon-
ors last season, were well represented.
The only other men that were ther -
batted for the junior lits.
It will be remembered that severa'
threats were made by the intramural
department last season to discontinue
the sport, which was introduced as e
result of petitions, and unless more
interest is shown this year definite ac
tion will be necessary.
The affair warmed up toward the
end of last season and furnished food
for conjecture. It looked like the
pharmics all the way through. In the
last round, however, the soph-engin-
eers won a technical victory from the
prescriptionists and this created r
triple tie between the junior- and soph
engineers and the pharmics. The
druggists protested the technical vic-
tory of the bridgebuilders and a de-
cision rendered by the intramural de-
partment a few days later was in their
favor. This gave them undisputed
claim to the title.
Eight teams have already signifie&
their intentions of entering the tourn-
ament this season. Among them are
the senior and junior engineers, and
the pharmics, all contenders for hon-
ors last year, and the senior and jun-
ior lits, runners-up. Definite plan
have been made with regard to the
awarding of numerals to the winning
teams. if only eight teams enter two
sets of numerals will be awarded. The
Athletic association will pay for the
numerals awarded to the winners of
first place and will grant permission
to the class to buy numerals for the
members on the team which cops sec-
ond place.
Practice will be held again from 7
to 9 o'clock Friday night. To keep
this sport alive it will be necessary
for everybody who is interested to be
out on time.
Soccer Numerals Have Arrived at Last
Eleven men were awarded their
class numerals last fall as a result of
their work on the soccer team. The
sweaters with the numerals have ar-
rived and may be obtained by the
recipients by applying at the offices of
the Athletic association.
Wheel and Axle Ball Tonight
Members of the junior engineering
class will hold their Wheel and Axle
ball tonight at Barbour gymnasium.
The festivities will begin promptly at
8 o'clock, and tickets costing one dol-

CADILLAC HIGH SCHOOL FIRST
TO ENTER INTERSCHOLASTIC
Westerners Comprise Initial Outfit to
Return Official Blanks
With Entry
Cadillac high school is the first
school in the state officially to enter
the basketball interscholastic which
will be held in Waterman gym March
22, 23, and 24. Entry blanks were sent
out Friday and the one from Cadillac
was the first to be returned.
If all of the teams that have prom-
ised to come do appear and a fair
showing of the doubtful teams put in
an appearance, there is good probabil-
ity that nearly 50 teams will be en-
tered for the meet.
D. A. Macdonald has been appointed
assistant to W. Lee Watson, basket-
ball interscholastic manager, and these
two, with other assistants and try-
outs are working steadily to round up
entries and to explain all conditions
of the tourney to interested teams.
BASKETBALL BOOMING OVER
ON BARBOUR GYMNASIUM FLOOR
Senior and freshman women's bas-
ketball teams held a lively session
yesterday, easily the fastest practice
of the season so far. The seniors
showed exceptional speed and ag-
gressiveness, but the wearers of the
little green button proved a superior
ability to place the ball in the basket.
Nearly all the regulars were out and
a goodly number of subs got a taste
of the fun before it was over. Hazel
Platt, the freshman captain, played a
rattling hard game at guard, but had
a lot to handle in the senior forwards.
Olga Shinkman guarded well for the
last year women, and Margaret Bas-
sett showed fine form at jumping cen-
ter.
Real games loom up in the near
future and the prospect has infused
new pep in to the whole squad. This
week's practice, at least, promises
some exciting battles next month on
Barbour 'gym floor.
ARRANGE PRACTICE SESSIONS
FOR CLASS BASKETBALL TEAMS
In order that all of the teams en-
tered in the annual interclass basket-
ball league may get in trim for the

arranged for practice sessions for the

Monday of next week, and until that
time, evenings will be set aside for
signal rehearsals, tackle practice, and
to break in new tennis shoes.

SIXTY CANDIDATES
OTFOR BASEBALL
Coach Still Hopes for More as Larger
Number Can Be Easily
Handled
LUNDGREN AND BRANDELL SAY
MATERIAL BETTER THAN 1916
Eighteen Pitchers Sign Up, While
Number for Other Places
Increases
About 64 candidates turned out yes-
terday for baseball practice. Coach
Lundgren stated that while the, in-
crease over Monday's showing was
material and much more encouraging,
yet more men are needed and can be
handled easily.
Both the Varsity coach and Captain
Brandell are of the opinion that the
material available from which to pick
the 1917 Varsity is far better on the
whole than that of last year.
"The men look like better ball play-
ers," said the coach.
These Hace Signed to Date.
The register contained the names of
18 pitchers yesterday. The list in-
cludes the following: Parks, Pette-
grew, Cutting, Hildner, Crockett,
Saunders, Birmingham, Van Cleef,
McAllister, Cartwright, Getts, Gariepy,
Lush, Payette, Stuart, Walter Niemapn,
Martin, and Bailey. Shorty Miller was
out yesterday for the firststime, but
neither he nor Glenn have signed up,
although both are out.
Four candidates for first base have
DANCE TONIGHT
Indicated their intentions: Wehmeyer,
McAllister, Cooper, and Charpiot. New-
ell, who played first for the Varsity
last year, has not attached his name.
Four names appear under the head
of second base: Cuardia, Sallwasser,
Middleditch, and Labadie. The last
two were out for the 1916 All-fresh,
Middleditch playing regular second.
Only two names each under third
and shortstop, respectively, are listed:
Third base, King and Horwitz; short,
Larson and Dancer.
Six outfielders are down: Trost, Van
Cleef, Kirchgessner, Ferguson, Harris
and Garrett.
Fast Rollers Halted.
Practice yesterday consisted in stop-
ping fast ones down the floor. The
coach appeared in a suit and took a
hand in working the men, by weilding
the bat. The old men came
much chasing of the ball. (
Brandell, Walterhouse, Bill Ni
Ohlmacher and Birmingham

The coach stated that batting
