By *: *: *: Play Yesterday Was Ragged Few Redeeming Features on Either Side. With Coach Yost gave the regulars the customary Monday rest yesterday, but sent the second choice Varsity men through a short scrimmage with the scrubs. The feature of the afternoon's work- out was the shift in the Varsity line- up, Benton returning to full, and Bentley being sent in at half on the second string. Raynsford was placed at left guard, the position played by Lichtner in the Case game. Benton and Mead both graduated from the hospital squad yesterday, and resumed their punting practice. After the usual workout and signal drill, Assistant Coach Schultz led the regulars off the field for a little diver- sion with "Gertrude," the coaches be- ing dissatisfied with some of the tabk- ling Saturday. Yesterday's scrimmage was the first appearance of Kennedy's men on Ferry field, and they succeeded in playing on almost even terms with their oppon- ents, although beaten 6 to 0. Cochran, playing at center for the Varsity, re- covered Diehl's fumble after about a half hour of see-sawing play mainly in the scrubs' territory, and, a la Cap- tain Paterson, romped fifteen yards for a touchdown. Watson failed to goal. The play of both elevens was ragged, Traphagen's work at guard and defen- sive center being the only redeeming feature. On two occasions attempts at field goals by the Varsity were spoiled, Peterson on one occasion re- URGES GENERAL DEVELOPMENT FOR ALL UNIVERSITY STUDENTS "The university student should make his development a general one," de- clared President Harry B. Hutchins in his address at the Students Christian Association services Sunday evening. "Every man should aim to achieve the highest possible proficiency in his studies, but he should not neglect the social, athletic, and religious needs of his nature," he continued. In connection with the advantages and temptations incident to a college course, President Hutchins urged each man to participate in the activities of the Y. M. C. A. and to seek a church home, during his stay in Ann Arbor. YPSILANTI PLAYS FRESH SATURDAY ACCOMMODATIONS SECURED FOR MORE THAN 4,000 VISITORS. Classes Will Not Meet on Convention Date to Allow More Thorough Inspection. Mrs. Ella Flagg Young, superintend- ent of public schools in Chicago, is scheduled to speak at the first meeting of the annual convention of the Mich- igan State Teachers' Association, to be held in Ann Arbor October 30, 31, and November 1. The convention opensa Thursday afternoon in Hill auditori- um, with the address of welcome by President Harry B,. Hutchins. Dr. Earl Barnes, ofPhiladelphia, late pro- fessor in Cornell University is also booked to speak on this program. A concert will be given Thursday even-1 ing in Hill auditorium, with numbers by Prof. William Howland, Prof. L. L. Renwick, Florence Hinkle, and the1 Choral Union. In addition to the gen- eral program, there have been arrang- ed special programs for high school, grammar school, normal, and other di- visions of the convention, A reception committee will meet all incoming trains, and visitors will be directed to rooming houses, provided, they have been assigned rooms. The committee has secured accom- modations for over four thousand vis- itors, and a supplementary canvass is being made at the present time, which is expected to result in the securing of accommodations for many more. A complete canvass of the fraternities and sororities has been made, and ac- commodations for 750 teachers secured from the societies. The problem of providing eating ac- commodations for the five thousand members expected, has finally been solved in a very satisfactory manner. A majority of the landladies have been persuaded to serve breakfasts for their guests, and for those who will not be served in tihs way, the 'Michigan Union has agreed to serve breakfasts,, ac- commodating 600. Dinners and sup- pers will be served by the Michigan Union, the larger restaurants, and by a majority of the churches in the city. The Collegiate Alumnae will also serve meals in Barbour gymnasium. Classes will not meet in the university Thursday afternoon and all day Fri- day, October 30 and 31, in order that the buildings may be more thoroughly inspected by the visiting teachers, and that rooms may be provided for com- mittee meetings and special lectures. STUDENT COUNCIL FAVORS MUCH STRICTER CONTROL Athletic Association and Members of Band Have Different Plans.- . As things stand now the settlement of the band problem seems as far away as ever. There are practically three distinct factions each offering different1 solutions, but at present they seem un- abs, to agree upon any one policy. TYt4se things will be cleaned up at the meeting of the board in control of ath- letics, but until that time nothing def- inite will be known. Thermembers of the band, under Ike Fisher, are holding out for partial scholarships for twenty-five men, ex- clusive of the leader, or in lieu of this they want the athletic ssociation to' guarantee them enough money to en- able each member to pay part of his tuition. If such were the case Mr. Fisher is sure that he could turn out a band which will be a credit to the university. On the other hand, the athletic asso- ciation is more than willing to have a band and bear its share of the expense as long as the band agrees to play at every athletic event occurring on a week end. It refuses, however, to lend its support unless these things are guaranteed. The band was secured for Sturdtay's game by the athletic association for that one event exclu- sively, and Director Bartelme has promised that music will be secured for the game next Saturday under the same conditions. Furthermore it seems to be the opinion among the members of the board in control that if the athletic association is not in- terfered with the student body will have the opoprtunity of hearing a band at every athletic event except the mid-week baseball games in the spring. The student council, however, is contemplating more radical changes. Their plans have taken no definite shape yet because of the fact that the question of uniforms is still unsettled. Like the athletic association they agree that the men should receive some definite remuneration for their services, but they want a band that will take part in all the college activi- ties and not confine its efforts to ath- letic events alone. The biggest point of departure, though, seems to center around the idea of a more strict band control, and the band committee of the council is now bending all its efforts in this direction. SIXTY CROSS COUNTRY .:MEN RUN WELL IN SPITE OF HEA T Coach Rowe is enthusiastic over the prospects of his big aggregation of cross country runners which has be- gun active training for the season. A big squad numbering 60 or mkr was turned loose last night ,from Water- man gymnasium for their thirdtyprac- tice spin of the year. Yesty'day's heat proved to be considerable of an obstacle for the long distance ath- letes but everyone withstood the long grind in good shape. Dr. J. B. Angell Continues to Improve. Dr. James B. Angell is still improv- ing. He is able to sleep nights with no apparent trouble, and continues to eat heartily during the day. It is ex- pected that he will be able to be about the house by the end of the week. FOREIGN STUDENTS TO GIVELECTURES Residents Throughout State Will Have Chance to Hear Men From Mistant Lands. TO EXPLAINeJiOME (CON I)TION'$S Contest Will Be Preliminary Varsity Game With Mount Union. For Committee of 90, to Canvass Entire City in Endeavor to Reach 19400 Non-Union Students. FACULTY MEN ESPECIALLY -SLOW IN SIGNING CARDS. Membershiip is Proportionate Among Various Classes With Big Number of Freshmen. At a smoker of the merhbership com- mittee of the Michigan Union to be held tonight at 7:30 o'clock plans will be laid to reach the 1,500 men who are not Union members. The canvass will be held Wednesday and Thursday nights, and with a committee of 90 it is expected that nearly 500 memberships will be added, making the final regis- ter far in excess of last year's results. The nine sub-chairmen of the com- mittee met at the Union Sunday after- noon, and each was assigned ten city blocks. Each sub-chairman has chosen ten men to assist in his district. Those have been picked who obtained the best results as members of the com- mittee which has been working in the prelimiary ca Mpaign. Each man on the committee has pledged himself to bring five new men into the Union. These results, added to last night's membership of 2,216 will bring the final membership very close to the 3,000 goal. In last year's campaign, which was conducted in a similar manner only 236 new men were added. Even with these results the final number .would exceed the record at the end of the 1913-14 year. The sub-chairmen in the present campaign are as follows: Les- ter F. Rosenbaum, '14, Howard Seward, '14, Edward Haislip, '14L, John I. Lip- pincott, '14, Paul F. Thompson, '16, Harold R. Schradzki, '15L, David R. Ballentine, '16, Edward Wilson, '15, and Kenneth Baxter, '15E. During the preliminary campaign Ralph Conger, '14, leads other commit- teemen with a record of 225. Edward Wilson, '15, and David R. Ballentine, '16, follow with records higher than those of committee'men in former years. In the campaign beginning tomorrow night Ralph Conger will have charge of the fraternity canvass. Faculty men have been especially slow in joining the Union, while the student membership is proportionately distributed among the various classes with an especially large number of 1,917 men. As far as can be ascer- tained the fraternities are better rep- resented than the independents. The following bulletin committee has been appointed by Selden Dickenson, president of the Union: Arthur McGee, chairman, Glenn Howland, R. J. Miller, W. L. Scovill, Clifforn Toohy, Herbert B. Sturtevant, Leslie W. Wishard, Al- bert Stoll, Paul Wagner, Donald Mc- Kone, Thurlow Geeck, Robert Betts, H. H. Perry, A. S. Beck, A. D. Bromley, Kenneth Wesley, and L.

UNIVERSITY FENCERS PLAN REORGANIZATION TONIGHT Plans for the reorganization of the Michigan Fencers' club and the ar- rangements for holding a bi-monthly meeting with the University club team, will be discussed at a meeting to be held at the Union tonight at 7:15 o'clock. A preliminary tournament to pick out a team to meet the strong De- troit Y. M. C. A., with whom several matches have been arranged, will be held in November. Dr. Feldez, a member of the Hun- garian fencing team which won the championship at the Stockholm Olym- pic meet last year will soon be in Ann Arbor. Efforts are being made to per- suade Dr. Feldez to speak to the club. SQUAll 5CIS UT TO FORTY MEN. Michigan State Normal College elev- en, of Ypsilanti, will appear on Ferry field Saturday afternoon as opponents of the Michigan All-Fresh in a curtain raiser to the Michigan-Mount Union game, negotiations for the contest having been completed yesterday by Athletic Director Bertelme. The game will be the initial fray for the Michi- gan yearlings, who have been practic- ing under Coach Prentiss Douglass for but one week. According to the arrangements an- nounced by Director Bartelme, the youngsters will start their game at 1:30 o'clock, one half hour later than the usual time. Captain Crouse of the Ypsilanti eleven is said to have a fast team this year, and the clash with the Michigan Fresh promises to furnish all kinds of excitement. Following the practice yesterday af- ternoon Coach Douglas made the first cut in his bunch of over half a hun- dred yearlings, a squad of forty men being retained for the drills before the Ypsilanti contest. Those chosen by the coach as the most likely can- didates for the 1913 All-Fresh are: DeCoudres, Carpenter, Skinner, Kohr, Patterson, Hamilton, McNama- ra, Craven, Zewadski, Joslyn, Paisley, Rice, Dunne, Musser, James, Calvin, Whitmarsh, Alt Scheible, Maulbetsch, Pierce, Nixon, Splawn, Hicks, Gratz, Nieman, Zieger, Rehor, Manchester, Cerney, Finkbeiner, Harbert, Martin, Wolf, McKone, Rowan, O'Brien, Skin- ner, Olsen. Michigan will be the first institution in the country to make use of its students from strange lands to broad- en the views of the people of the state for which is is established. Qualified foreign students who wish to spread a knowledge of their home conditions, and to expound the principles of the Cosmopolitan movement are recom- mendIed by the university extension lectutre department to deliver lectures throughout the state in the coming year. The lecturers were first recommend- ed by the Corda-Fratres Cosmopolitan club last spring, and have been ap- proved by the extension lecture de- partment. The names of the lecturers, their nationality and subjects are be- ing published in list form to be insert- ed in the pamphlets sent out by the university for furnishing the services of extension lecturers. The list is as follows: John A. Bonilla, '15M, Cali, Colum- bia, S. A., president of the Cosmopoli- tan club, will speak on "South Amer- ica: Its People, Resources, and Possi- bilities." Jabin Hsu, '14, Shanghai, China, cor- responding secretary of the Michigan Chinese Students' Club, will lecture on the "Opportunities of America in Solving the Chinese Problem." Tarem C. Karwell, India, has chosen "Glimpses of India" as his top- ic, while V. T. Maw, '15E, president of the Chinese Students' club, Soochow, China, will speak on "The Future Re- lations of America and China, and Adolfo A. Scheerer, '15L, Pasay Rizal, P. I., will lecture on the "Politial Conditions and Independence of the Philippines." C. P. Wang, '14, Tai Au, China, will answer the question: "Why Foreign Students come to America?" and Wil- liam W. Welsh,'12,general secretary of the Cosmopolitan club, will tell about: "The Cosmopolitan Movement and its influence upon the world. COMMUNICATION. (The Michigan Daily assumes no re- sponsibility for sentiments expressed in communications.) Editor The Michigan Daily:-- Through your columns we wish to present a plan for improving intra- mural politics at Michigan. Electioneering at present, by analy- sis, is A telling B to vote for C for a certain office and giving C's qualifi- cations. But too often A and C belong to the same organization or C if elect- ed will reward by some appointment or in some other way A or A's friends; in other words C's campaign is conduc- ed by favor seekers and friends. Now this is unfair to the candidates with fewer or less active friends, unfair to the ignorant voter because he cannot get a line on 11 the men, and unfair to the university. Therefore, it is proposed that each candidate pay two dollars (with refund if there be an excess) to the treasurer of the student council if it is a campus election, or to the class treasurer if it is a class election for the publication of a campaign booklet. In this book- let each candidate will have equal space, and may furnish his own copy. In it he will first give his platform, i. e. his stand on the issues then dis- cussed and his general policy e. g. Shall Michigan return to the confer- ence? Honor System? etc., and sec- ond, give his record. For the record this list is submitted and it is to be expected that it will be abridged or amended: age and home city, or state, Ann Arbor address, length of time in Ann Arbor, class and department, oth- er universities attended, fraternity or house club, if any, societies, i. e. cam- pus honor and honorary societies, or- ganizations, i. e. Verein,, Adelphic, etc., Union committees, class and Varsity offices held. Thus all interested in the election will be able to fairly judge of the is- sues involved and of the men, and of the accomplishments in the part of all the candidates and can recognize what influences will probably have the more weight with the candidates. This plan will lend .dignity to our offices, and if the candidates will pledge that they and their friends will not electioneer it will help clean poli- tics. This plan in general is somewhat original but has been somewhat modi- fied. However, it was pleasing to find out that something similar is in opera- tion at the University of Wisconsin and in the state of Oregon so it has been shown to be feasible. WALKER S. BRUCE, HAROLD S.

FIRST ROUNDS IN TENNIS TOURNEY MOVING RAPIDLY In spite of the handicap in court conditions and. weather, the first rounds in the All-Comers Champion- ship Tennis Tournament are progress- ing favorably. The first and prelimi- nary matches have been played and the second and third rounds begin to- day. All matches in the second round must be played today or the delinquent man must default. Results of the first day's play are as follows: R. Thorsch defeated Edinger 6-4, 6-4; Worth defaulted to P. Bar- ringer; Polasky disposed of G. Smith 6-1, 6-3; A.

At that time the two underclasses will have their first opportunity of the year to uncork their animosity to- ward each other in a legitimate man- ner, and Capt.
