Pontius, Lyons, Craig, Lichtner and Torbet made up a quintet of injured warriors, who kept Trainer Steve Far- rell busy the most of the afternoon.

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.

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.] Rolling up more than a point a min- If fair skies greet the football en- ute in five games, against the best of thusiasts on Saturday next, the largest the state college elevens, Michigan's I crowd that has ever seen a Wolverine All-Fresh football team has finished team in action, will pass through the one of the most successful seasons gates of Ferry field when Michigan since the establishment of an eleven meets Penn.

Forty of the sixty tryouts will be picked for the home club, and an announcement will be made of the 'selection Thursday. This home club will appear at all winter concerts with the mandolin club, and from the show- ing made by the individual members, the personnel of the trip club, which will make the western tour next spring, will be determined. STUDENT COUNCIL WILL PLAN PENNSY GAME CELEBRATION. In addition to discussing tentative plans for a celebration after the Penn- sy game,. the student council at its meeting tonight, will take up several other important matters. The matters of monthly chapel meetings for fresh- men in the literary department, will be discussed. The report of the flag rush committee will be heard. STARS RETUN TO HELP POLISH TEAM STARS RETURN TO HELP POLISH TEAM Heston, Graham, the Hammonds, Weeks, Snow, IlIiaiger, Me- Millan Promise to Come. 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- ing on the west now for Michigan will have an individual tutor for nearly every man during this week's practice.r Among the old grads expected to bec at work this week, in addition to those already here, are "Willie" Heston, "Oc-1 ty" Graham, "Tom" and Harry Ham-r mond, "Bullhead" Weeks, Niel Snow, "Pa" Henniger and "Shorty" McMil-L !an. All of these men have kept them-f selves thoroughly posted on the finec points of the game, and will no doubtt help greatly in the final polishing ofc the Wolverine machine.t CLUB DELEGATES TO FORMt SOCIAL CALENDAR OF CAMPUSr Every campus organization, club and society, which is contemplating holding social affairs, is requested to send representatives to a conferenc on social affairs, called by Prof. Alfred H.

Letters announcing the meetin have been sent to presidents of the various campus organizations con- cerned, but representation will not be limited to these alone, and every soci-E °ty is expected to send a delegate. whether notified or not.t 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. FRIDAY TO SEE PEP' SESSION FOR PENN GAME FRIDAY TO SEE "PEP" SESSION FOR PENN GAME Last Monster Football Asembly of Year, in Hill Auditorium to Generate Fighting Spirit For Team, BAND AND "HAP" HAFF WILL TOUCH OFF RAFTER ROCKERS President 11. B. Hutchins May Repre- sent Faculty; H. Beach Car- penter to Preside. The last football mass meeting of the year will be held Friday evening in Hill auditorium, in an effort to in- still the proper fighting spirit into the Michigan team for the championship intersectional battle of the year, the following afternoon on Ferry field. Albert C. Fletcher, '14, was delega- ted to complete the arrangements for the "pep" session, at the meeting of the board of directors of the athletic association held yesterday' afternoon. None of the speakers have yet been secured, but H. Beach Carpenter, '14, of the board in control, will act 'as chairman. The university band will be on hand to furnish the proper atmosphere for the amateur fog horns, and the new songs and yells will be thoroughly tried out. "Hap" Haff will lead the rafter rockers and "Eddie" Kemp will probably have charge of the harmo- nies. An effort will be made to secure President Harry 13. Hutchins to rep- resent the faculty at the meeting,which will begin at 7:45 o'clpck. Lyndon will be on hand with the lantern, and an attempt will be made to secure some new subjects for the alleged cartoons. The official programs of the Penn- sylvania game will be put on sale im- mediately after the meeting. 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. marred by a wet, heavy gridiron. BASEBALL R'§ TO BE GIVEN TO FIFTEEN MEN EACH YEAR Baseball R's will hereafter be given to the fifteen players who,. in the opin- ion of the coach, are of the most val- ue to the team exclusive of the M men. according to action taken by the board of directors of the athletic association.. at a meeting held yesterday afternoon 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. J.
