Coach Yost gave the Wolverine Var-
sity its regular Monday rest cure yes-.
terday afternoon through the medium
of a hard two-hour drill on Ferry field.
ihe grind was nothing more than a
signal drill but it was long after dark
before the coach let his men trot away
to the field house.
Every man save Pontius was out for
practice and all reported in good con-
dition after Saturday's victory. Trap-
hagen wore a huge bandage over his
left ear, because of a bursted blood
vessel. The injury is not considerid
serious, however, and it is expected
the big guard will be ready to play on
Saturday.
Torbet appeared at fullback in the
drill yesterday afternoon. The former
end kept cut of all forward pass play
as his muscles are still too sore to al-
low effective tossing. Bushnell did
most of the heaving for the team from
his post at quarterback.
Tommy Hughitt, Yost's latest find
as a punter, repeated some of his Sat-
urday surprises by getting off all kinds
of long spirals in practice yesterday.,
Hughitt is proving by far the most
effective and the safest kicker in the
Wolverine squad and the coach is con-
fident that one of his difficult prob-
lems has been solved.
"Honk" Conklin, captain of the Wol-
verines in 1911 reported at Ferry field
yesterday afternoon with the news'
that when the team returns from Itha-
ca next week he will be on hand tot
lend his help in preparing the eleven

SYRACUSE, N. Y., Nov. 3.-
"If the Varsity football team had
not gone to the theatre at De-
troit and otherwise violated
training rules on the eve of the
Michigan game, the result Sat-
urday would have been differ-
ent," declared Chancellor James
R. Day at chapel today, accord-
ing to C. B. Bahn of the Syra-
cuso Journal.
The chancellor held that the
men lost rest needed to show to
their best ability against . the
Wolverines, and were therefore
not in the best physical condi-
tion.

HEAVY POLLING MARKS FIRST'
DAY OF CONFERENCE VOTE
:x CHANGES IN INFIRMARY.
* 1. New location-first house on
* Ingalls street behind Hill au-
* ditorium.
* 2. Hours- for men-in the
* morning and by special ap-
* pointment.
* 3. Hours for women-from
* 1:30 to 3:00 o'clock and by
* special appointment.
* * * * * * * * *
.Heavy polling marked the first day
of the Conference vote. Although
not all of the coupons were counted
last night, it is estimated that nearly
900 students registered their opinions.
The voting will continue today and to-
morrow and those in charge believe-
that the voting will be much heavier
than yesterday.
Several mistakes were found among
the votes turned in and all voters
should read the directions before poll-
ing. The vote was especially heavy
at the athletic association on account
of the sale of seats for the Pennsylva-
nia game.
Yesterday's balloting indicates a
light vote among the faculty with vot-
ing especially heavy among the sen-
iors who polled at the athletic associ-
ation while waiting for seat reserva-
tici. The vote will close at 5:00
o'clock tomorrow night and no results
will be announced until the final bal-
lots have been cast.
The question has been taken up by
various alumni associations and ans-
wers have already been received from
nearly half. In Grand Rapids and
Kalamazoo a vote is being taken by a
daily new-ipaper. Among the repre-
sentativo organizations which have
voted arc New York, Los Angeles, Cal.,
Denver, Colo., St. Paul, Minn.; Schen-
ectady, N. Y., South Bend, Ind., Pon-
tiac, Mich., Omaha, Nebraska, El Reno.
Oklahoma, and Port Huron, Michigan.

Game With Alma (ollege on Saturday
Regarded as Hardest
on Schedule.
VEA.RLING LINEUP UNCHAN(6D.
Though Coach Douglas gave his
squad of All-Fresh players a light
work-out yesterday afternoon, the
program for the remainder of the week
is a severe one, as Saturday's game
with Alma college is regarded as the
hardest of the schedule.
Last year the Presbyterians trim-
med the yearlings 6 to 0 in the young-
sters' first game of the season. This
year the two teams are even more
closely matched according to their
performance against Adrian college on
successive Saturdays.
Two weeks ago the All-Fresh romp-
ed through the Adrian aggregation for
a 69 to 0 count. Last Saturday the
Adrian team journeyed to Alma and
were drubbed 66 to 0.
No changes are-contemplated in the
lineup of the yearlings, barring the
possibility of Dunn starting at left
end.
Since C. Skiner was injured early in
the season Douglas has had difficulty
in picking a man for this extremity pe-

IN FINALS
Weather conditions have delayed

afternoon decided that the carrying

The second teams of the four depart-

play the losers in the first string teams
in order.
This system gives the chance to one
second team of getting numerals, as
there are four sets 'to be given out
and the winner of the second aggre-

Send the band to help the team.
Fifty men, representing practically
every department and class in the
university, are canvassing the cam-
pus today in an effort to raise money
to send the band to Cirnell. The cam-
paign is not being conducted in order
to afford the band a trip in payment
for their services, but it is an out-
growth of the revived Michigan spirit
-another attempt to show the team
a loyal support.
Four thousand tags are on sale, and
in order to raise the necessary money
they must bring an average price of
20 cents. It is expected by those in
charge that enough money will be
raised today to meet the necessary
expenses, but if not it is intended that
the sale last over until Wednesday.
The present band is on an entirely
reorganized basis. All finances are
now taken care of by a member of the
faculty, and control is centered in one
man, thus obviating the troubles that
have vexed the organization in the
past, All members now playing with
the new band association have been
picked after a series of tryouts con-
ducted with the most sincere attempts
at fairness. The men are now forced
to attend rehearsals and turnouts, or
to suffer a fine for each unexcused
delinquency. New uniforms have been
provided for the management, and ten-
tative plans have been made for out-
fitting the men with capes and white
gloves.
This arrangement will be impossi-
ble, however, unless the band is used
for other university functions outside

DISTANCE MEN RUN
TICKET SALE FOR
PENN GAME LARGE
Half a dozen shivering freshmen
spent Sunday night in front of the ath-
letic office in order to secure places
in the line for the senior sale of Penn
tickets yesterday. Most of the faith-
ful were relieved by relays, and the
"waiters" comforted themselves as
best they could by means of a camp
fire.,
A long line of seniors was on hand
both yesterday morning and afternoon,
and practically every man bought his
full quota of tickets.
JIuniors will be given an opportunity
to secure their reservations today, and
any senior who failed to secure tick-
ets yesterday may also purchase tick-
ets today. Sophomores will be accom-
modated Wednesday, and freshmen
Thursday.
Mail orders for tickets are coming in
at the athletic office in greater num-
bers than ever before at so early a
date, and the management expects1
that the Ferry field record of attend-
ance, previously set at the Quaker
game in 1907, will be broken this fall.
['he faculty of the rhetoric depart-
ment has requested the line to form'
to the south of the athletic office, as
the disturbances caused by calls of1
"Hat!" at passing freshmen .seriously1
interfere with classes in west hall. t
EIIITORIAL CoMMENT.
USELESS WORRY.
We are wondering what point our
opponents have in mind. Really,
isn't it a useless waste of time.
The Michigan Daily petitions will
include both sides and submit the re-
sults to the Regents.
We discarded the very methods that
the antis are now using as open to all
sorts of abuses. Fictitious names and
-duplications are evident evils.
But aside from this it seems pure
folly to get out other petitions. The
Michigan Daily votes are to be collect-
ed, accepted and counted by a bal-
anced board.
ARE YOU IN DOUBT?
If you are still in doubt regarding
what is what in this Conference dis-
cussion, we can do no better than re-
fer you to the article that was written
by Professor Brumm in Sunday's is-
sue of The Michigan Daily.

Two thousand circulars have beon
printed and will be distributed among
the working students of Ann Arbor
this morning by the committee re-
cently appointed at a meeting of the
working students to further the pub-
licity campaign of bettering the sani-
tary conditions and getting higher
pay in the boarding houses. The
scheme has met with the general ap-
proval of the Michigan Union, the
University health service and the Uni-
versity Y. M. C. A.
The circular condemns the envir-
onment of the average boarding lous-
es, the unsanitary kitchens, the cold
draughty rooms in which the working
students have to eat, and the unwhole-
some food which they are compelled to
eat. The students, according to the
circulars, work in some places where
they are obliged to work overtime
without extra pay, to eat "scraps" and
"come backs" on dirty tables, without
dessert, and to work four or five hours
for their board
Cases have been reported that stu-
dents were compelled to eat on tables
covered with dirty, oil-cloth under:

A special train filled with rooters,
reserves and members of the band will
leave the Michigan Central depot Fri-
(lay evening at 7:30 o'clock en route
for Ithaca, New York, where the Mich-

Cornell on the following day.
Arrangements have already been
made with the railroad authorities
whereby a special rate of $16.89 round
trip has been promised on the provis-
ion that at least 75 men take the trip.
The band and scrubs will furnish 50
of this number and the remainder
must of necessity be from the student
body at large. The number, however,
is not limited and the athletic author-
