The Daily Board is under obliga- tions to the Women's League for in- vitations to an At Home in honor of Dr. Mosher, Friday evening, Nov. 20. While the resignations of President Prentiss and of Captain Seter from his directorship aire to be regretted, the Athletic Association is to be con- gratulated on the election of two good men. Especially is the selection of J. DeForest Richards as president, a fortunate choice. We predict for the association a prosperous year under his administration. The Daily will come out with a yel- low and blue edition to celebrate Thanksgiving. The issue will be eight pages, four yellow and four blue. It will be delivered to regular subschib- ers free of extra charge and will be sold in Ann Arbor, on the special train and at the Chicago game. A special feature will be a collection of songs and yells for use at the game. With the co-operation of lthe yellmaster ar- rangements are being made to use these before and during the struggle. Every student is urged to send to the Daily catchy yells and songs to be sung to popular tunes. The response to this request at the time of the De- troit game was very liberal and it is honed that it will be so now. Use your ability and aid in making things interesting while the team fights for the championship. Reserved Seat Tickets. Tickets for the Mtichigan-Chicago game are now on sale at Sh'eahas book store. Sections M and N with 10 boxes have been reserved for the Ann Arbor delegation. These seats are on the east side, and are consid- ered the best in the Coliseum.
