made for The Detroit Free Press, are
qualified, however, inasmuch as Yost
has only chosen men from those col-
leges who abide by the three year rule
for football players.
Three Michigan men, Craig, Hughitt
an d Pontius are picked for Yost's elev-
en, and two other places go to west-
ern players. Solon of Minnesota gets
an end position and Norgren of Chica-
go is placed at right half.
Though Yost has not seen all of the
players in action this season, he has
seen the aijority of them, and his se-
lections are based on keen judgment
of football men.

track and basketball relations with

GIVE RUISI FLAGS 'FO SEtCURIS
Suggestions from any individuals
on the campus, regarding the best
method of selecting councilmen, will
be welcomed by the student council.
The decision was :,rde at the regular
meeting of the body last night. All
who have constructive ideas about the
selection are requested to send them
at once to Thomas F. McCoy, '14L
secretary of the council.
The suggestions will be read by the
secretary at the first regular meeting
of the organization in 1914, on Janu-
ary 6. The'y will be discussed, and
the best will be adopted.
Besides the decision, the council
formally awarded the flags to the win-

TWILIG H T ORGAN RECITAL
DRAWS AUDIENCE OF $ )o
The growing popularity of Earl V.
Moore's twilight organ recitals was
attested yesterday afternoon, in Hill
auditorium, by an audience of over
2,500 people. Conditions are now such
that these complimentary concerts bid
fair to rival the Choral Union series in
attendance,.
By substituting, upon request, Dvor-
ak's "Humoresque" for a Widor sym-
phony, Mr. Moore tended to lighten a
program which already contained the
barcarolle from "The Tales of Hoff-
man" and a gavotte from "Mignon."
Any criticism was dispelled, howev-
er, by the masterly way in which each
of these peremial favorites was ren-
dered.
FATE OF PAPER TO
BE DECIDED TODAY
The fate of the new publication,
Student Life, whose right to existence
has been challenged, will be determin-'
ed this evening, according to a state-
ment made last night by Editor Sidney
Kellar, when he will go before Prof.
A H. Lloyd, of the board in control
of non-athletic activities, for the pur-
pose of presenting his side of the con-
troversy, The decision on the ques-
tion will be determined by the board
of which Professor Lloyd is a-member.

is confident that the board will allow
the magazine to continue publication
in view of his claim that the publica-

which will attempt to secure outside

There is much more campus interest
in class contests at Michigan than at
the eastern schools. As an example
of this condition, Director Rowe cited
the fact that several hundred specta-

ter-class football games, whereas at

Junior lits elected Cecil A. Brown
to represent them on the student coun-
cil committee, which will investigate
plans for returning the J Hop to the
roll of Michigan institutions. The
junior engineer class advisory com-
mittee will probably meet some time
today to decide on some course of ac-'
tion, and if it is decided to have the
class elect a representative, this elec-
tion will be held at a class meeting
Friday morning at 11:00 o'clock.
The 1914 Hop committee will pre-
sent its petition for the re-instatement
of the .Iop to the 1915 committee,
which can be chosen and organized on
short notice. If the 1915 committee
agrees to the propositions contained
in the petition, it will be presented to
the senate council at its meeting Mon-
day night for ultimate consideration.
The student council committee will
not have anything to do according to
this plan, unless the senate council
rejects the advances of the Hop com-,
mittees. The council committee does
not intend presenting a given plan,
but rather wishes to make certain that
th+.-plan submitted to the senate coun-
cil will be satisfactory to all classes
of students.

All players who are to remain in
Ann Arbor during the holidays, should
report to Director Rowe at once, as
practice teams will be organized for a
short series of matches during that
time. Dr. G. A. May has promised the
use of the gymnasium courts during
the vacation, and it is expected thatI
departmental teams will be organized
for these games.

country is the leading interclass activ-
ity at Cornell. Soccer football is play-
ed, but there were only seven teams-
this fall, as opposed to fourteen class
teams at Michigan. Each class at Cor-
nell furnishes five runners for the de-
partment cross country teams, but
this one branch of athletics is the only.
one highly developed at Ithaca. Di-
rector Rowe attributes Cornell's in-
terest in cross country running largely
to the fact that the men are allowed to
f work off their gym credit in this man-
ner.
At Columbia, basketball and swim-
ming are the leading interclass sports,
owing to the congested condition of
the outdoor field. At Yale there are
inter-departmental games, but fewer
teams and shorter schedules than at
Michigan. At Harvard, rowing and
tennis receive the emphasis in class
athletics. There are only four depart-
mental football teams, as compared to
the fourteen class teams at Michigan.

'CO-OP' PLAN HAS
BRIGHT PROSPECTS
"Michigan has good prospects of a
'co-op' store," said Werner Schroeder,
'14, last night, one of the chief boost-
ers in the co-operative movement. "In
case capital is unavailing," he contin-
ued, "we can start business with a
second hand book exehange which is
very remunerative. Wisconsin's store,
which started its career with a small
stock of blue books, did business last
year to the amount of $123,000, and
saved the students 13 per cent on their
purchases.
Michigan had a "co-op" store nine
years ago, but failed because it could
not carry a line of supplies suificient
for student needs. By avoiding past
mistakes, and profiting by the others'
success, it is expected to give Michi-
gan an enterprise which wi'ill be profit-
able to all concerned.
