DAIL' 4 1.=y.. __ _. [II i I iUI In ETRACK VENTS Hold' sonnel4 Try-outs to Decide Per- of Relayers to Go on Trip ELAY EVENTS PROVE BIG WORRY FOR COACH FARRELL [chigan to Meet Stiff Competition in Tilts with Schools of Big Nine Uncertainty as regards the make-up the squad to be sent to the western tercollegiates prevaded the Wolver-] e tracksters last night. It is expected that Farrell will take ong entries for the pole vault, the gh jump, shot put, 75-yard dash, and ssibly the hurdles.s The relays are the greatest source of >rry to the coach at present. Sco- ld helped shed a ray of light into the le relay situation by reporting that e Charley horse was showing signs coming around in good shape in the xt couple of days. If Le is in shape ain it is almost certain that the 440 Dn will go. Steve has decided that the two-mil- s stand a much better chance of cop- ag a place than the four-milers, and 11 send a two mile team if he sends her. Will Hold Try-outs Today. rryouts will be held this afternoon determine the make-up of the relay n who are to go, provided teams are nt for these events. Steve will give bunch of quarter-milers a chance show their best by running against ae. A similar method will be used the half mile. The watch will show each instance the men who are to taken. Fontanna, always a slow man to get o his best shape, is expected to set fastest mark he has made this sea- a in the quarter-mile try-outs. First Tilt with Big Nine :ichigan is making its first ap- trance in a big western conference Eck meet since the Wolverines broke h the Big Nine. Farrell's men will urally be the center of the attrac- a for the conference contenders, and the coach is anxious to make the best showing possible. Hoyt of Grinnell Looks Good O'Brien is looking forward to some keen competition in the 75-yard dash. Scofield will probably be sent into this event as well, and the 440 anchor man has been spreading quite a few sur- prises this season. Hoyt, of Grinnell, who captured the 220-yard event in the Drake relays from ex-Captain Smith last spring, will be entered in the short dash. Hoyt broke the 220 re- cord around a turn to accomplish the feat. While not as strong in a short- er dash, Hoyt can be regarded as ex- tremely dangerous. Among other notables to compete against the Michiganders in this num- ber will be Captain Smith of Wisconsin -brother of Pat Smith. The Badger leader took a year at Michigan before entering his present school, and his efforts will be watched with interest. He won the western outdoor intercol- legiates last spring, and is probably the man to fight for premier honors. Dopesters Pick Winners Barker and Brightmore, of North- western, and Carroll, of Illinois, are all me who have seen fast competi- tion. Graham and Fisher, of Chicago, are picked as long shots in the pole vault. Both have hovered around the 12 foot mark more than once. Lang of the Illini, is another man Kesler; SWELL NUMBER OF VARSITY TRY-OUTS New Corners Show Some Real Stuff in eerday's Indoor Diamond Workout PITCHING STAFF OF 25 GIVES PROMISE FOR FINE TWIRLERS First Cut Must Be Made Soon So as to Reduce Overcrowded Con- dition in Gym Yesterday's practice entertained more than 60 candidates for the team. Probably the largest attendance at baseball practice since the season opened received a fast workout. Several new men turned out for the first time, raising the total number of canuidates proportionately. New- comers are cropping out plentifully and causing some of the earlier birds much food for thought. Work within the cage is progress- ing rapidly, the 25 twirlers who are working out are more than keeping the receiving staff busy. Of the pitching department, several men are looking good and competition among the hurl- ers bids fair to be as keen, if not even more so, than that in any other de- partment of the game. The number of men who have had Varsity experi- ence complicates the matter some- what for the new men. Shorty Mil-l ler, Ohlmacher, Birmingham, and Joe Robins, although the latter has not as yet been out for regular work, will; all have the call to a certain extent over the rest. Among the other can- didates Parks, Glenn, Lush, McAllister, Getts, Niemann, and others are show- ing lots of stuff and should make the race for pitching honors on the 1917 team as warm as any during the lastI two seasons. Whether any George Sislers will bea uncovered is a doubtful question, but all the dope points to the fact that thet spring twirling staff should be one of the best all-round departments that Michigan has had since the famous Sisler's time. Shorty Miller can un- doubtedly be relied upon in the box, and with Joe Robins probably will ber the one with past Varsity experiencet to do the greater part of the mound_ work. Parks and Glenn of last year's All-fresh are among the most likely of the new men, although it is too early in the season to make any rash predic- tions in justice to the other candi- dates who have not had the opportun- CAME SCHEDULE OUT Women's Basketball Tourney to Start March 7 S Ct 7 S Y utes in duration and finals will be five minutes longer.

Mucks, of the Badgers, and Cross, of Michigan, should finish 1-2 in the shot put, with a hot fight on for the re- mainder of the points. Webster, of the Champaign institution, will have Fish- er, of Chicago, and James, of North- western, to conquer in the high jump. in addition to Vic Simmons. Haigh, of the Wolverines, also seems to be in the running for a place, judging from the work he has been doing of late. With Binga Dismond on their team. the Maroons can be expected to give anyone a hot fight in the mile relay. Chicago is also picked for a strong finish in the four-mile baton event. Farrell will go to the meet with- out a man to enter in the all-around event, the feature of a big evening. None of the men which the coach has numbered on his roll at present are capable of making good performances in a half dozen different numbers.

Eleven teams have entered into the play, with no way appearing to pick first choice by comparative scores. Jackson, a strong tem in this part of the state, lost to Battle Creek 14-20 and to Kalamazoo 17-44, but won from Ann Arbor 55-8, from Lansing 32-22, and from Detroit Central 28-21. Kala- mazoo Central, besides winning from Jackson, also won from Sturgis 30-11, but lost to Coldwater 16-23 and to Grand Rapids Central 21-2 6. Cold- water also beatMarshall 26-17. Grand Rapids Central has three other important victories in addition to the one over Kalamazoo, winning from Detroit Northwestern 25-19, from Lansing 29-28, and from Grand Rap- ids Union 27-23. Grand Rapids South- ern seems to have been the goat, los- ing to Western State Normal 7-28, to Sparta 9-44, to Hollandi 11-28, to Saranac 16-29, and to Detroit North- western 12-35. Grand Rapids Union lost to Grand Haven 13-18 and to Grand Rapids Central 23-27, but car- ried off the honors from Holland 14-12 and from Muskegon 27-20. Ann Arbor has lost three big games, to Detroit Northwestern 15-33, to De- troit Central 13-35, and to Jackson 5-55. Western State Normal won from both Sturgis and Grand Rapids South- ern. Sturgis lost to Western State Normal and to Kalamazoo Central. Lansing won from Owosso 33-25 and from Bay City Eastern 25-20, but lost to Grand Rapids Central 28-29 and to Jackson 22-32. FRESH TRACK MEN TO CHOOSE LEADER AT MEETING TONIGHT Michigan's 1920 All-fresh will elect a captain for the present season to- morrow afternoon at a meeting to be held in the trophy room of Waterman gymnasium. Coach Farrell has called the gathering for 5 o'clock. All freshmen who took part in the Waite-Scott high dual of last Satur- day night are eligible to vote whether or not they placed during the course of the evening. ity to show their wares. The new nets were due to arrive yesterday, according to advices from the athletic office. But thus far, they have failed to make their much heralded appearance. The arrival of the nets would be a material aid to the coach, as batting practice could be started immediately, and the squad shaved down to a more workable size. The coach stated that he could not say just when a cut in the squad would be made. At present the number of candidates is rather large, and is seemingly on the increase, so that a process of subtraction will probably be in order in the near future. MAT MEN PLAN FOR BIGGEST TILT EVER Formulate New Rules and Reclassify Entrants for 1917 Wrest- ling Bouts Michigan's mat artists have decided to stage their annual wrestling tourna- ment beginning March 7. From pres- ent indications, this year's affair is go- ing to be bigger and better than ever. Manager F. D. Reider at the wrest- lers' meeting presented a list of rules and regulations which the club de- cided to adopt for this season's matches. Two new classes have been formu- lated for the 1917 tourney to take care of those boxers who were distinctly out of place in former bouts. The welterweight class consists of all up to 120 pounds, while the light heavy- weight will take care of those tipping the beam in proximity of 175. These new classes are still somewhat a mat- ter of conjecture, inasmuch as it is not yet known whether there are enough men interested to form good competition. Instead of silver loving cups, the winners in these divisionls will' be given caps with their class numerals. 0. S. Westerman, boxing and wrest- ling instructor for several years, has consented to act as referee in this tournament. Several other judges will assist him. The opinion of the judges will be necessary only in case no fall is registered. Elimination bouts are to be 10 min- Initiation Banquets, Dinner Ijances, Dancing parties.
