Baseball Squad
In Dire Straits
Captain Brandell led the Varsity
squad to a bloodless victory in the
face of dire disaster, Monday.
In spite of the fact that the Wol-
verines were forced to stare impris-
onment in the eye, they marched past
the dragon at the gate of Ferry field
and played baseball as carelessly as
though the county jail were not yawn-
ing for their persons.
When Bran started to go onto the
field, he was told that he and his
young army would only practice on
that sacred sward at their peril; that
it was for tbm to pay due heed to
the generous warning and retreat. But
The eminent gate warden of the
held was laboring under the impres-
sion that Michigan's Varsity baseball
team was a trespassing orani::alion.i

Marching, drills, and folk dancing
will be the principal events of the
annual demonstration of the depart-
ment of physical education for wvomen.
Competition between the freshmen and
sophomores for the interelass athletic
cup heightens the interest in the pro-
gram which will begin at 4 o'clock
tomorrow afternoon.
Cards of admission may be secured
at the director's office by college wom-
en and outsiders, while the members
of the Schoolmasters' club in conven-
tion here will be guests of the depart-
ment. All girls taking required work
will be guests of the department. All
ngrequired work will appear
in the dances learned during the gym-
nsiin periods, and 80 representa-
ti .es from each class will take part
_ the marching and floor work.
Thec udges, to be announced tomor-
row. are three Detroit women prom-
inent in the field of physical educa-
I n. Women taking required work
will report at Barbour gymnasium at
4 o'clock this afternoon for rehearsal.
1 1TlANG ChAMPION SHIPS

Two Michigan wrestling champion-
sips will be settled this afternoon at
oclock in the wrestling room of the
,ym w hen Pollock and Davies meet
for the welterweight title and Planck
and Lewis for the middleweight
honors.
All four of the boys mentioned above
have won their way into the finals,
and on paper it looks as though a
couple of whirlwind bouts were com-
ing. The winners in this afternoon's
contests will receive the trophies do-
nated to the winners of the respective
championships.
Thirty men showed up for the initial
spring football practice yesterday at
Ferry field.
The day was cold and the ground
soggy and nothing but very elementary
work was indugled in. Passing, punt-
ing, blocking, and talling oi the ball
was about the sum total of the work.
Perhaps owing to the weather, or the
early season, only three of the old
men were on the job. Captain Smith,
Goodsell and Hildner being the only
old timers present. The All-fresh
team was conspicuous by its absence,
Hitchcock, Froemke, and Zapp of the
yearling eleven were there, but the
rest were absent.
Captain Smith Protests
Relative to the prospects thus early
in the season, Captain Smith said, "We
Sare all going to work hard right from
rthe start, and a fine opportunity will
be given everyone to pick up a lot of
football before the fall grind com-
mences. The showing tonight is de-
cidedly poor, and we should have at
least twice as many men out. The
older men should lay off what ever
they are doing and come out and help
coach the new men. Give us some
men and we will get action."
rendoubtedly the weather combined
wvithi the fact that many men are out
sfor baseball and track was the reason
,dptdfor the poor showing night, but
with spring here the football men
daould be lured from their lairs and
real -work started.
Crilitary rill
,For College Team
New York, March 2.-Following the
precedent set by the big league pro-
fessionals baseball clubs in the south,
military training and driling will be
opted by the diamond squad of Col-
umbia university as a part of the
daily practice. After a conference with
,Coach Andy J. Coakley and Graduate
Manager Harry A. Fisher, the manage-
ment of the collegians' nine decided to
devote a part of the practice period of
thee hours each afternoon to the
fundamental executions of infantry
drill.
The Columbia squad of candidates is
now divided into two sections, and be-
tween 3:45 and 4:15 o'clock daily,
when one division has finished prac-
tice and the other group is about to
begin, a half hour's drill will be the
program.
Although a competent drill sergeant
will probably be in charge of the in-
struction for the first few days, it is
planned later to have the drilling held
under the direction of students who
are preparing for the offiers'reserve
corps. At a meeting Major Cochran
of Governor Whitman's staff assembl-
ed all Columbia students who have had
military training in the ationa yguard,
at a Plattsburg clamp, or at West
Point, and drilling began in the after-
noon, when a squad of 25 such men
started preparations to become fitted
to lead a battalion of students.

Games; Scofield Back on

Cold blasts hovering over Ferry
field yesterday didn't succeed in keep-
ing away a handful of Michigan's
track men form the big enclosure.
Compared with the initial squad
which appeared Monday, the eight men
out yesterday didn't make a very im-
pressive showing, but the day was of
poor character for track men to work.
Scofield made his second appear-
ance since his exit before the Cornell
meet, and seems to be benefitted by
his layoff, but whether the flying jun-
io will regain the form of which he
ise capable cannot be proved until
warmer weather.
Only track men will be able to uti-
lize the field during the present week
unless better weather makes itself
felt for several days. The field pits
are in bad shape, and must be almost
thoroughly dried out before the shot
putters, high jumpers, and others can
perform.
Farrell is preparing to give his re-
lay men and others expected to journ-
ey to Des Moines for the Drake re-
lays, a chance to get into shape as
soon as possible. Nothing definite
has been decided upon as to what
men will make the trip. Present in-
dications point to the entrance of two
relay teams at least, out of the total
of four events of this kind to be run.
NEW HAVEN BASKETBALL TEAM
WINS EASTERN CHAMPIONSHIP
Yale Quintet Outlasses All Opponents
and Drops But One Game
During Entire Year
New York, MariL 27.-In winning
the intercollegiate basketball league
championship last week the quintet
representing Yale lived up to expecta-
tions, according to Ralph Morgan, Sec-
retary of the league, who has just
completed the basket ball statistics.
The Eli five presented a veteran
lineup, with a development in basket-
shooting and team play that was a
higher standard than any seen in lea-
gue competition in recent years. The
New Havenites finished the season
with a slate of nine victories and one
defeat, and on their all around play-
ing they maintained a wider margin of
superiority over rival teams than their
record for the season would indicate.m
The Yale team scored 326 points on
its opponents, as against 205 scored
against it. Princeton finished in sec-l
ond place with eight victories andtwo
defeats, and Pennsylvania was third in
the final compilation with five victo-
ries and he same number of reverses.
Dartmouth, Columbia, and Cornell fin-
ished ingorder.
HARVARD TRACK TEAM CALLED
FOR ANNUAL SPRING PRACTICE
Cambridge, Mass., March 27.-Can-
didates for the Harvard track team
have been called out. The best men,
in the running events have been in
training all winter, but the general,
call will bring out all the candidates
who seek places on the team.
A whitewash is the verdict expected
as the result of the track team in-
vestigation which two committees are
now making.I
Horwitz was not out. The coach is
especially pleased with the work of
the men around the bases, their field-
ing showing to much better advantage
outdoors and indicating an improve-
ment over last year's progress at this
period.
More attention was given to the out-
fielders than hitherto. The coach kept
his secondary defense men working
longer than usual. With the chance
that Billy Niemann will not be able
to take the southern trip outfielders
are in greater demand and the coach
will have to fill two places instead of
the single one vacated by Captain
Brandell. Walterhouse has been work-
ing out on the long drives since the-
squad went to Ferry field while Gar-
rett, Kirchgessner, Cooper and Martin
are the other possibilities for outfield
positions. Guy Reem is the only Var-
sity outfielder working in the gardens
at present.
Four' Men Dropped
Four men were dropped from the
squad, two catchers and two infield-
ers. The probabilities are that anoth-
er cut will be made before the trip
south, although the coach has made
no authoritive statement to that ef-
fect. Infielders are still numerous
and the chances are that the pitchers
may be thinned out again when the!
coach has had sufficient time to watch
their work outdoors.
Throwing seems to be the chief
trouble of the men at present. Some
of the infielders are having difficulty
getting their throws to the bases
away with accuracy to correspond to
their speed. The defect is probably
due as much to change in environ-
ment, wind, and cool weather as much
as any one thing.
Captain Brandell stated that the
squad looked as good on the first day
outdoors this season as the 1916 team
did on the eve of its departure for
the south last year.

LACK OF EQUIPMENT DELAYS
INITIAL YEARLING PRACTICE
Owing to the lack of equipment and
the small number in attendance, the
initial practice of the All-fresh base-
ball team, scheduled for yesterday aft-
ernoon, was changed to this afternoon.
About half of the usual number of
candidates answered the first call of
Coach Maltby, and those who did an-
swer neglected to bring gloves and
tennis shoes, so that no practice was
held.
As today's practice is the result of
the second call, the coach expects to
be greeted by a large number of as-
pirants.
Freshmnen Women Hlold Preliminaries
Freshmen women tried out in seven
registered events and a relay race in
the first preliminary apparatus meet
at 4:50 o'clock yesterday afternoon.
Individual records were kept, each
girl participating in three of the seven
events. The girls making the best all
around averages will be chosen to
compete in the interclass apparatus
meet of April 4.
About 75 girls were out for yester-
day's meet. The upperclass women!
who acted as judges in the sophomore
meet were also judges for yesterday's
meet.
