Prominent in the list are Captain Nc

his first season as n Tiger regular.
George Bryant and "Pierp" Morgan.

some of the Tiger games this season:
owens. catcher; Farmer. o second
baseman; Slusher, "A center fielder,
and Dippold u right fielder. All these
men are Tiger veterans and promise
to show the same form that did so
much toward the numerous Tiger VIC
tories last season.
In addition to the group of old m"
men the Tigers can depend on this
year there are "A number of new men
who are going to make the Did ones
show their best ability to retain old
positions. Nog', Avery, De nnis and
Stemmons are showing up unusually
well In the infield. StemmOns also
is doing well as a pitcher, and Keel

mound. In addition to owens. the

Lansing. 1916 football captain. Morris,
Mesick and puffy" Holmes working
out for the backstopping job.

Coach Schmidt Is heartened some-
what by the prospect of having
much needed good catcher in Winsow
who had his baptism of fire in Fridays
game against the Haskell Aggies. This
may release Cheadle for an infield
position where he is a star, and ena BILE
Grove to devote more time to the per-
lection of his pitching.
Tomorrow the Presbyterlans tangle
with the Producers for the third time.
While they were beaten decisively the
other two times they tackled the pro-
fessionals. the collegians believe they
will be able to give the leaguers a
real battle this time.

Travis was 40 when he won the Ma

The following year he invaded Eng,

During his championship years and
right now Travis astonishes all COM
pctitors by his short game. His put
ting lG deadly and his APPROACH shots
invariably find the green, and usually
SO close to the cup that the putt is
simple.
In the British championships Travis
was paired with Blackwell, who was
expected to outdrive tho American
champion by at least 25 yards. This
advantage was expected to defeat
Travis, especially over the outrageous
ly long Sandwich course. Blackwell
did outdrive Travis and by COM
Portable margin. but once the drive
was passed Travis was so far superior
to blackwell that the Englishman was
overwhelmed.
Travis no longer is to be reckoned
with but his record stands supreme,
