The Michigan Daily VOL. XIV. " ANN ARBOR, MICH., WEDNESDAY, NOVEMBER 11, 1903. No. 39 ROUGH SCRI" 1AGE. Hard Work in Preparation For Wis- consin Game Begins-Scrubs Score On "Varsity-Badger Plays Are Mystifying-James Is Injured. Qoach Yost began his active prep- aration for the Wisconsin game at yesterday's secret practice, and the result was the fiercest scrimmage seen on Ferry Field this year. The nien showed the effects of their hardt work when they trooped into the gym- nasium, as several of the 'Varsity players sustained severe bruises in the mix-up. No let up in the stiff practice is in sight, as Coach Yost has declared that nightly scrimmages will be in order until the Wisconsin game As soon as the men came on the field they were lined up for the kick- off, with the scrubs in possession of the ball. Boerman, who is showing up well in the kicking game, went to full- back position on the regulars. On the scrub's kick-off the ball was passed to Boerman for a return. This meth- of procedure was repeated time after time, and the new man invariably made good. The teams then lined up for the scrimmage, and the scrubs were given possession of the ball on the 'Varsity's 15-yard line. The Wisconsin forma- tions, used by the scrubs, worked ad nirably against the regular defense, and six touchdowns were scored in forty minutes of play. The 'Varsity forwards had trouble in solving the Badger plays, and on very few occa- sions were more than three downs necesary to cover five yards. The teams linedt up for the scrimmage as follows: 'Varsity. Scrubs. L. E. "Hal" Weeks .............. Doty L. '. Eyke-................Garrels, Potter L. G. Shulte .................Barnett C.

U. contest, and while the injury is not severe, it will probably keep the quarterback out of this week's scrimmages, and may cause his absence from the Wisconsin game. Captain Redden is suffering with a stiff neck and remained on the side lines during the scrimmage. Curtis. the only regular missing from the line-tip, was attending classes. That the Wisconsin game will be a battle royal daily becomes more evident. The usual "bear" stories which come from Madison, telling of accidents to star players, and poor physical condition of the squad, may be taken at a discount. Barring Bain. Wisconsin will put her strongest eleven in the field on Saturday, and the star punter of the Badgers may improve sufficiently to play at least a part of the game. More likely reports are to the effect that Wisconsin has given up hopes of circling the Michigan ends, and will depend upon her plunging back field for gains. The Badger squad will include nine back-field players, eight of whom will surely be given the opportunity to show their mettle against the Wolverines. VISIT OF PROF. cLAUGHIIN Arrives Thursday and Will Give a Se- vies of Lectures to History Class. Prof. Andrew C. McLaughlin will be back in Ann Arbor next Thursday, to begin a series of lectures on the. sub ject of "Early American Constitution- al History." This course of lectures will be delivered before the class in constitutional history, ttt all visitors who are interested in the subject are welcome. The lectures wil be hed in the lee- ture room o Tappan Htat on the fol lowing dates: 'IThursday, Nov. I2, at , p. m.; Fri- lay, Nov. 13, at 5 p. mi., Monday, Nov. 18, at 5 p. mTuesday, Not. 17, at o p. m. Wednesday, Nov. 18 ,at p m. Thursday Nov 19, at 3 p. rn. Friday Nov. 20, at 5 It. . MANY VISITORS AT GAME. The coming game between Wiscon- sin and Michigan promises to be quite a society event. Among the promi- nent people who will see ti ,game are, Presidents Northrop and Angell who will occupy seats together; Pres ident Ashley, of the Ann Arbor road with a party of t wenty-five; Senator Murfn and Charles P. Downey, who have each engaged two boxes; Larr y E. Grosh, of Toledo, the famous half bak, and City At t orney Thos. Carney of Ann Arbor, each tne box. The D U. S., Toledo High School, and Michi gan Military Academy teams, with large numbers of their followers, will also attend the game, andt a delega- tion of one hundred from Lansing have engaged seats. Althoughit a great number of seats have been sold there are still large numbers of good seats inside the. thirtyive yard line left. FRESHMAN MEETING. It is desired that every freshman be presentt At the meeting to be held to day in room C, University Hall, imme- diiately after the dismissal of the II oclock classes at noon. Important business is to be brought i before the meeting, which will occupy but a short time. FOR PURE ATHLETICS. New ork University has taken a rigid stand in favor of pure amateur ism in sport in dismissing Robert P Wilson, heat coach of the football team, and Assistant Coach Brown. The two were dropped withoutnotice as a result of an investigation intoi the playing of Louis Cohn, an alleged law student. Cohn was induced by the coaches to join the team oin account of his known footbail ability. He paid his matriculation fee but did not pay his advance tuition as required by the rules, nor did he attend classes. Af- ter one week's playing on the team, in which he participated in a game against Wesleyan College, Cohn's in- eligibility was discovered and the dis missal of the coaches followed. SINGING MEETING. In preparation for the game with Wisconsin Saturday a singing meeting. will be held today at 5 p. in. in Uni versity Hall. It is evident from the failure of the songs last Saturday that practice is needed on them. Wiscon- sin is noted for its good stging, and as many Wisconsin rooters are ex- peted at the game, we must not let our reputation suffer from poor sing- ing. If permission can be obtained from President Angell, a big mass meeting will be held Friday night at 7 p. m. It is planned to have mem- hers of the team present, Coach Yost and the band. ENGINEERS VS. LAWS. Final Game in the Interclass Series Will Be Played Saturday. By defeating the '06 Medics the '06 Engineers are entitled to meet the '04 Laws for the class championship. Only one half, of 15 minutes duration, was played in the game yesterday, and the final score was 24 to 0. The Medics offered but slight opposition to the plunges of the Engineers' heavy backs. The Engineers played a fast bucking game, with occasional end runs. Their team works well to- gether, showing the effects of much practice. This is the first time the Engineers have been in the finals for the class championship in football, and the department will probably turn out in full force Saturday to help the team win by rooting. 'The Engineer and Law teams are evenly matched and the game will be a hard fought one, to say the least. The final game each year is generally the time for great departmental spirit to be shown. especially when the Laws play. It is to be hoped that the many accustomed "stunts" will not be omitted this year, such as the banners, costumes and noise-producing implements. Line-up of teams: '06 Engineers. '06 Medics L. E.

In the afternoon they will attend the game in a body, and if possible, will be on hand for the ban- quet in the evening. ATHLETIC :DIRECTOR RESIGNS. Horace V. Butterworth, athletic di- rector at the Northwestern Univer- sity, has sent in his resignation to the University Regents. As a reason for resigning, he says the system of management at the University is not in sympathy with his ideas, and the students do notu seem to take to him very well. BIG TEAMS IN TENNIS TOURNEY. A plan is under foot for the arrange- ment of a four-cornered Sawn tennis tournament between teams of Har- vard, Yale, Columbia and Princeton to take during the early part of next vard, Yale, Columbia and Princeton to take place duringtheearly part of next spring.
