A large hospital list, a field piled a
foot deep in snow and swept by a cold,
biting wind, greeted Coach Yost yes-
terday afternoon when he called his
Cornell-conquerers together for the
initial drill for the Pennsy game on
Saturday.
Pontius, Lyons, Craig, Lichtner and
Torbet made up a quintet of injured
warriors, who kept Trainer Steve Far-

OPERA LYRICS GIVEN OUT TO
ELEVEN TRYOUT COMPOSERS
Lyrics for the Union opera were giv-
en out to eleven men, at the Union
last night by General Chairman Koch,
of the 1914 opera committee. The lyr-
ics, which were given out, are substan-
tially those that will actually be used
in the opera, although it is likely somej
minor changes will be necessary. The
music that will be written for these
lyrics must be handed in on Decem-.
ber 15, at which time final judgment
will be made, and the successful writ-
ers announced.
The men who are competing are as
follows: Rowland Fixel, '14L, L. J.
Scanlan, '16L, George Bailey, '16,
Richard Lorsch, Durward Grinstead,
'14, E. B. McKinley, '16, B. A. Bartlett,
'14, Eric Kohler, '14, and A.E.Schrimpf,
'15, W. A. Diekema, '14, as well as a
number of those- above, have been
working on the music for some time.
The object in opening the competi-
tion again this fall, was because of the
fact that so few appeared last spring,
and because the committee wanted to
make sure that everybody had a fair
chance.

to the Michigan doctor. Craig's bad
leg is causing the star some worry, al-
though the trainer promises that it
will by no means keep him out of the
Pennsy game.
Lyons nursed an injury for the first
time this year. He limped into the
field house yesterday afternoon and
did not go to the trouble of putting
on his moleskins,but watched the coach
and players in his citizen's clothes.
Lichtner is still in a bad shape as a
result of his injured side, while Tor-
bet has not yet recovered from the
hurt to his shoulder. He came through
the Cornell battle in fair shape and
assured th coach yesterday that he
will be able to deliver in the Penn
game.
Yost took one long look at the
weather yesterday afternoon and then
mournfully led the way to the second
floor of the field house. There he il-
lustrated some of his new plays,-the
ones he intends springing on the east-
erners on Ferry field Saturday,-and
gave the Varsity the best drill possible
under the conditions.
Coach Kennedy was not so kind to
the scrubs. He packed them into their
suits-also mackinaws, gloves and
tcques,-and led them forth to a par-
tially cleared place back of the base-
ball diamond. Here the reserves
plowed about in the snow and cold
preparing for their reception, tomor-
row, of the Pennsy formation which
Assistant Coach King Cole will give
them. Cole was present at the Penn-
sylvania-Dartmouth battle on Franklin
field last Saturday and he is expected
to have lots to tell the scrubs.
PHARMIC STUDENT
DIES AT HOSPITAL
Charles A. Dillon, '15P, of East Taw-
as, Michigan, died at the University
hospital at 11:00 o'clock, Sunday
morning, from tubercular spinal men-
ingitis. He had been ill three weeks
and had been confined to his rooming
house, 435 East University avenue,
about week preceding his removal to
the hospital two weeks ago. He was
delirious during most of his illness.
Dillon attended Albion college last
yar and was a member of the Delta
Tau Delta fraternity there. He was
pledged to the Phi Delta Chi, a phar-
mic fraternity, at Michigan. He was
active in athletics, having pitched on
the Albion baseball team. His death
is believed to be the indirect result of
a blow on the head, received in a bas-
ketball game about two years ago.
He was 20 years old, the son of Mr.
James E. Dillon. Past Grand Master
Mason of Michigan. Both the father
and mother have been in Ann Arbor
since the beginning of his illness. The
body was taken to East Tawas for
burial yesterday morning.
A cross country team composed of
Tralfa, Fox, Brown, Shapero, and
Young, with Terry as alternate, will
be sent to the annual *astern inter-
collegiate cross country run at Van
Courtland park, New York, on Novem-
ber '22.
This announcement has been made
to the cross country men as a result of
the excellent showing made in Satur-
day's handicap meet. Though Carrol,
a freshman, ran the cours-e in 40 min-
utes, 22 seconds, he is not eligible to
compete, and Tralfa leads the eligible
men with a mark 'of 41 minutes 22 sec-
onds. The other records run down to
42 minutes, 13 seconds. Considering
the fact that the course measures sev-
en and one quarter miles, according to
county maps, instead of the supposed
six miles, this showing is considered
extremely creditable.
While the Michigan team will not
have a show of winning the event, be-
cause many of the eastern teams are
composed of well-known runners, it is
nevertheless believed that the Wol-
verine overland speeders will give a
good account of themselves.
Training for the intercollegiate run
began yesterday end will be kept up
until the eve of the trip in spite of
weather conditions.
SENIOR LITS DISCONTINUE
CUSTOM OF CARRYING CANES
Senior lits, at their meeting yester-
lay afternoon, disposed of the cane
problem for the present, at least, by
declaring against the continuance of
he custom by an 18 to 17 vote. To
provide for a substitute for the canes,
a motion was made and carried to ap-
point a committee to investigate the
various customs in other universities
and to report its findings for final de-
cision. The sentiment was that by
adopting canes as a memorial, it show-
ed an imitation of eastern schools
customs.
Pres. Waldo Fellows announced the
membership invitation committee,
which has charge of the commence-
ment invitations: Karl B. Hoch, chair-
man, Renville Wheat, Robert White,
George Caron, Grace McDonald, Irma
Hogadone, and Sophie Hermann.
Arrangements have been made to
bring several prominent automobile
men to Ann Arbor to speak before
the class in motor construction. How-
ard Coffin, of the Hudson Company, an
alumnus, will be one of the first
speakers. An invitation has been re-
ceived from the Lozier Automobile
Company requesting the forty-one
members of the class to be the com-
pany's guests in Detroit this semester.]

EVERY PLAYER TO HAVE TTOR.
With the Cornell game already set
down as football history, the Michigan
varsity starts this week on one of the
most systematized finishing processes]
that has been given the team in years.
Nearly a dozen old sta'rs, whose
names are almost immortal to former1
rooters, have volunteered their ser-
vices in the coaching line and will be
on hand to aid Yost and Schultz in ap-
plying the polish. Several of these
men attended the Pennsylvania-Dart-t
mouth game last Saturday, and have
brought back the entire repertoire of
Quaker plays, with which the scrubs
are to assail the Varsity.u
It has been said that Harvard's and
Yale's coaching staffs outnumbered1
their players but they will have noth-

Among the old grads expected to bec

already here, are "Willie" Heston, "Oc-1

mond, "Bullhead" Weeks, Niel Snow,
"Pa" Henniger and "Shorty" McMil-L

points of the game, and will no doubtt

WEATHER INTERFERES WITH t
SOCCER; CHINESE TEAM OUT9
Owing to the excessive snow of the
last few days, the devotees of soccer
have been unable to carry on any def-
inite practice and as a result the game
has sunk into temporary oblivion. As
soon as the weather permits, regular
practice will be carried on in prepara-E
tion for the scheduled games.
The team composed of Chinese stu-
dents has been putting in some hard
work and feels confident that it will
be in good condition when the whistle
blows ,for the first game.

PROF. ). FRIDAY TO EVALUATE
L. S. & M. S. RAIL WAY PROPERTY
Professor David Friday of the eco-
nomics department left for New York
city Saturday morning, to continue his
work of evaluating the property of the
Lake Shore railroad. Professor Fri-
day was in Pittsburg two weeks ago
where he determined the value of the
Lake Shore terminal located there,
for the minority stockholders in the
corporation. The engagement will ex-
tend over an indefinite period of time
or at least until the minority share-
holders are satisfied that no discrep-
ancy has resulted from the transfer-
rence of the property of the afore-
mentioned railroad to the New York
Central line
BAND MAKES HIT
SWhen the Michigan Varsity band
played a concert in front of the Ithaca
hotel in Ithaca, N. Y., on the dy of.
the Michigan-Cornell gridiron battle,
it created a most favorable impression
on the Cornell student body.
"We certainly hand it to Michigan'
on its band," said one of the prominent
Cornell undergraduates, while one of
the most popular of the younger Cor-
nell alumni declared that though the
Wolverines' football team might not
be quite up to the standard, the mus-
ical organization "delivered the
goods."
Later when the Michigan musicians
marched onto Percy field playing "The
Victors," and counter-marched in front
of the stands, a great wave of applause
;reeted them, and again the compli-
mrentary sentiment was heard on all
sides.
After the conclusion of the contest,
the Cornell alumnus who was skep-
ticalof the team was heard to remark,
:Well, 3ichigan has a fine band, and
I take it all back about the, football
eleven."
EARL MOORE TO USE FRIEZE
ORGAN FOR RECITAL NOV. 18.
Mr. Earl V. Moore, of the organ de-
partment of the school of music, will
begin a series of recitals on the Frieze
Memorial organ in Hill auditorium,
Tuesday, November 18. The series
will be continued on Tuesday, Decem-
ber 2, and Tuesday, December 16. The
recitals will begin at 4:15 o'clock. Af-
ter the holidays announcements will
be made for further dates.
Since the convocation exercises, at
which Mr. Moore showed the great
posibilities of the superb organ, there
has-been a feeling on the campus that
recitals would be appreciated by the
student body, and for this reason the
series of programs have been plan-
ned.

of directors of the athletic association..

Such action has been under con-
sideration for some time, the move
having been made in an effort
to equalize conditions in the major
sports. Track men are given the A.
M. A. insignia, and football candidates
who fail to make their M are granted
an R, but until now the baseball can-
didates have received no recognition
unless they won the Varsity letter.
