A grade school youngster, "bolting"

veral humorously inclined boiler-

SAGE FAILS ON PENN SCORE. LOYALTY TO MICHIGAN IS

City Official Makes First Error in
Athletic Prophecies.
One Isaac Reynolds, assistant to the
clerk of the city of Ann Arbor, is stilly
an unquestioned authority in down-
town quarters in the art of prophecy-
ing athletic scores. This still holds in
spite of the fact that sundry other
members of the city staff thought they
had him cornered on the outcome of
the Penn game last Saturday.
It seems that way back last summer,
Mr. Reynolds started reading sporting
extras while in Dreamland long be-
fore the sporting editor knew that any
certain game was to be played. And it
came to pass that what Mr. Reynolds
dreamed turned out to be true. Phila-
delphia won the world's championship
by annexing the sixth game. And tb e
game ended with the very score that
he prophet said it would. He said that
Michigan would win from Vanderbilt,
{ to 8, that Syracuse would tie the Wo-
verines, 6 to 6, and that Cornell would
take Michigan into camp, 6 to 0.
But what Mr. Reynolds predictedj
about the Penn game was to the effect
that Michigan would carry away the
'.ong end of a 11 to 6 score. And the
prophet gets around that neatly.
"Simply the fault of the sand-man,"
he says. "Got the blamed 9 up-side
down. I'm not to blame for that."

"Michigan is wonderfully popular
throughout the west," said Mr. Frank
A. Harrison, editor of the "Lincoln
Capitol," who was here last week end
in the interests of the LaFollette pres-
idential boom," and the people will
flock to the biggest game in the his-
tory of Lincoln next Saturday from
miles around. We all consider it an
honor for Michigan to consent to meet
us, and we will tender her Varsity one
of the greatest receptions ever given

and new grandstand seats are being
erected merely for this game."

well Angell Hall last night on the
hilosophy of his work. The subject ox
his talk was "Uberlebens Bejahung und
Eigene Dichtung."
His dictum is perpetual youth; in
his work he has always given a fore-
most place to the young, and his ad-
vice to old age has always been to
keep young. His ultimate ideal he
maintains, is the happiness that is to
be found by the home fireside. "After

Mr. Stagg believe that his pet organ-

Last Friday afternoon a mass meeting
was held in the main hall of the north-
ern institution to get an idea of the
student sentiment on the conference.
Needless to say, Mr. Stagg would not
ave been delighted had he been among
those present.w
Prominent members of both the stu-

Herr Herzog is especially known in
Germany as a newspaper man. It has
been in this field of work that he has
attained a great deal of success. Dur-
ing latter years he has been the editor
of the Hamburg Neuste Nachrichten,
the most popular daily of that city.
Finally he has retired to literary life,
and has during recent years contrib-
uted many novels to the literature ofI
Germany which have won him a popu-
larity not confined to Europe alone.
His works are to be found in the al-
coves of the university library.
BAIRD WILL NOT PURChASE

the whole meeting indicated a break-f

"Back to Michigan" is the slogan
that the Minnesota students have
adopted and it has become a byword3
in that college. It was pointed out by
various speakers that the conference
could not exist without Minnesota and
that it was doing more for the finan-
cial benefit of the conference than any
other team. Every speaker advocating{
withdrawal was wildly cheered and
according to the Minnesota Daily, even
the team was fogotten in the excite-
ment..
Just what the outcome of the agi-
tation will be is doubtful, but the slo-
gan of "Back to Michigan" has caught
Minnesota and many expect that the
conference is a thing of the past.
