"Brute" Pontius My Appear in Rol
of Fullback Before Game
Is Finished.
Under a veil of carefully preserve
secrecy, Coach Yost trimmed the las
rough edges off the Varsity combin
tion that will probably face the so
tillers in the opening minutes of Satui
day's play. This practice, devoid o
all scrimmage or rough work, marke
the last stage of preparation for thi
contest, as tomorrow the order will b
rest for the sore muscles and othe
minor injuries.
It is still the backfield that furnish
es the most puzzling problem to th
Michigan mentor, and its exact identi
ty will not be known until the men lin
up on Ferry field. Mead appeared t
have the call for a backfield positio
during the earlier part of the week
and would *seem the logical man t
start the game, if a strained ligamen
in the shoulder will be in shape b
Saturday. With Catlett and Bentle
as partners the Wolverines would pre
sent a strong offensive front to th
enemy, with Bentley to ward off dan
ger to the goal line by his boot.
These two players are sure to beg
the Saturday imbroglio, if steady us
on the first string eleven is any indi
cation. Bastian will probably appea
in the role of half-back before the cur
tam has been rung on the last play
and Quinn would seem due for a whir
at the backfield pivot job. From th
developments of this last week, i
would not surprise Michigan footbal
followers if Pontius of line fame fo
the past two years, were shifted t
show his worth as fullback for part o
the game. In case of injury to the lit
tle giant, the choice should fall o
Galt, who has been the chief under
study while not wheeling off end run
from the halfback position. Galt ma
see a little action Saturday from thi
point, if he sufficiently recovers fro
injuries, and Roehm may be called int
requisition to general the team.
When it comes to deciding the make
up across the line, Yost has a simple
situation to deal with, as the ends pre
sent the only approach to a puzzle
Torbet, the veteran, is practically as
sured of his berth, and is due to star
at one extremity, but on the othe:
wing, Lyons and James are to be con
sidered. Lyons stands in a fair wa
of being picked to start from his wor
under fire in the two victories of th
past two weeks.
Musser and Pontius can be expecte
to be in at tackles from the start, wit
Raynsford on tap, if Pontius receive
the call to the backfield. Traphage
and Allmendinger will in all probabil
ity guard the home interests on eac
side of Captain Paterson.
The Michigan leader is expected t
do the place kicking when in the vicin
ity of the alien goal. In this even
Traphagen would do the passing.
The probable lineup and the weight
of the men follow:
Michigan-Torbet (172) L.E.; Mus
ser (200) L.T.; Traphagen (178) L.G.
Paterson (219) (Captain) C.; Allmen
dinger (198) R.G.; Pontius (193) o
Raynsford (174 R.T.; Lyons (170))
R.E.; Hughitt (146) Q.; Catlett (158)

RETiVAL OF MIINSTREL SHOW
MAY BE ATTEMPTEI) THIS YEAR
Paul Daugherty, '14L, Is Chosen Pres-
ident; Arthur Cohen, '141,
Manages Dramatics.
Although five months remain before
the 1914 Michigan Union opera is
staged during the last week in March,
active preparations have already be-
gun by the Mimes and Karl B. 41'och,j
'14, general chairman. At a special
meeting of the Mimes at the Union
next Thursday, committees will be
picked and the chairmen instructed to
begin work in their various depart-
ments.
At the last meeting of the Mimes the
following twelve men were elected to
membership: Roy M. Parsons, '14,
Sam L. Adelsdorf, '14L, B. E. Kline, '14,
Waldo E. Fellows, '14, Bruce Bromley,
'14, Durward Grimstead, '15, George
Moritz, '15, Gordon C. Eldredge, '14,'
Kenneth Westerman, '14, Lyle Clift,
'14, Edwin Wilson, '15, and Sylvan
Grosner, '14L. The selections in most
cases were made from the principals of1
the cast of "Contrarie Mary." The
present membership is 25 and five
more members will probably be picked
during the year.
Revival of the Michigan Union min-
strel show, last given in 1911, was dis-
cussed by the Mimes. Although noth-
ing has been definitely formulated, it
will probably be seriously considered
if faculty consent can be obtained. 1
Those in charge of the 1914 opera
are determined tooemploy the months
between now and March to the best
advantage, and as soon as the com-
mittees have been appointed a system
of tryouts will be perfected and pros-
pective broilers will be given general
directions. Preliminary practicingl
will be light and rehearsing will
begin after the Christmas vacation.

Student Councilman Will Have Charge
of the Elections as Judges
at Balloting.
Elections in all classes, except the
sophomore medic and freshman class-
es, will' be held on the campus today,
Nine nominees for office in the sopho-
more medic class have withdrawn their
names as candidates, on the plea that
heavy studies will not permit them to
participate in class activities.
As a result of these wholesale res-
ignations, the offices of president, sec-
retary, treasurer and basketball man-
ager cannot be filled today. Among
those resigning was Warren T. Vaugh-
an, and who was one of the nominees
for class president. Another attempt
will be made to fill the offices at a
meeting of the class this morning at
11:00 o'clock in the east lecture roomp
of the medical building.
No trouble is anticipated in other
elections. C. A. Crowe, one of the
nominees for president of the senior
engineering class, last night notified
the election board of the student coun-
cil that he had withdrawn his name
for further consideration. No nomi-
nating petitions were handed in to the
election board of the senior lits. Row-
land Fixel, of the senior law class, has
been nominated by petition for the
presidency. All other class nomina-
tions stand as made at the regular
meetiggs.
The fresh law class will be organiz-
ed this afternoon at 4:00 o'clock in
room D of the law building. Other
freshman classes will meet next week.
Student councilmen will have charge

VETERANS APPEAR
FOR CLASS TEAMS
Four Teams Number Among Candi-
dates For Places Many Heavy
and Experienced Men.
SENIOR SQUADS LOOM UP BEST.
If weight, speed and experience are
the necessary requirements for a
champion football team, pre-schedule
figures indicate that campus honors
this fall lie between the senior lits,
senior laws, junior laws and senior
engineers. These four teams are said
to average above 170 pounds and have
in their line-ups men who have had
previous experience on various college
elevens,
The junior law aggregation is com-
posed mainly of experienced players
and this fact alone gives it a good
chance for the interclass title. Rob-
erts, who has played three years on
Penn State's Reserves, is calling sig-
nals for the junior barristers and
Broussard at center, served two. sea-
sons on the Jefferson College Varsity,
Christman in the backfield and Brown
in the line have seen service on the
Olivet Varsity and the University of
Missouri Reserves, respectively.
The senior engineers will rely on
speed and a heavy line to carry away
the honors. With McQueen, Varsity
baseball player at right half, Mueller
at full, La Londe at left half and Mc-
Kean at quarter, the rivet drivers'
backfield will not tip the scales at
more than 150 pounds to the man, but
the super-abundance of beef in the
line will offset the light backfield.
The senior lits present the heaviest
team that has ever contended for a
campus championship and still their
backfield is speedier than that of any
other class team. Arthur Kohler, 219
pounds, Varsity track captain, is hold-
ing down full back while Bond, Var-
sity sprinter, will be seen at one of the
halves.
CHICAGO ALUMNI OFFER
VALUABLE SCHOLARSHIPS
Four-year scholarships, amounting
to three hundred dollars a year have
been offered by the Chicago Alumni
Association to high school graduates

ships this year. Dr. James R. Angell,
'90, dean of the literary department in
the University of Chicago, supervises
the funds.
Woolsack Holds Election of Officers.
Henry C. Bogle was elected chancel-
lor of Woolsack, the honorary society

Wild Enthusiasm Prevails When F rt

For Annual Rush
Saturday.

THEN STAGE GREAT PARADE.
Sophs to Meet Tonight to Hear Rules
For Coming Flag Battle
and Spree.
If ehthusiasm, lung power and "pep"
count for anything in a flag rush, the
freshmen have already won the con-
test with the sophs, scheduled for Sat-
urday morning at South Ferry field.
For an hour and a half last night
more than 900 yearlings kept the west
physics lecture room ringing with
cheers, pausing only at intervals to
hearken to the words of wisdom from
Football Captain George Paterson,Mil-
ler Pontius, Edward Saier, Arthur
Kohler and the president of the stu-
dent council.
Besides hearing an explanation of
the rules of the rush, the freshmen
were impressed with the necessity of
upholding Michigan traditions, which
in the words of the president of the
council, "can only be done in this case
by every man in the class turning out
Saturday; fighting fair, and fighting
hard."
After the enthusiasm had subsided
enough to permit the carrying on of
business, R. P. Ransom was elected
leader of the freshman forces, and D.
M. Flaitz, H. E. O'Brien, B. Hicks, and
J. C. Stapleton were chosen as his as-
sistants. E. K. Marshall, C. L. Mc-
Bride, and T. J. Enright were selected
to act as cheerleaders. All freshmen
are to meet at the campus flag pole at
8:30 o'clock Saturday morning, where
they will receive further instructions.
Sophomores will meet tonight at
7:00 o'clock at the west physics lecture
room to complete their plans and stim-
ulate their "pep." Carrol B. Haff will
give the "fight instilling" talk tonight.
Edward Saier will perside, Arthur
Kohler will explain the rules, and
Harold Hulbert will give the student
council viewpoint of the rush,
So much "pep" was uncorked last
night, that after the meeting about
250 freshmen couldn't settle down to
study, but in spite of councilmanl
warnings, attempted to rush the Ma-
jestic and the Whitney theatres. Quick
action on the part of council members
prevented free entrance at either plac-
es, and the crowd disbanded soon with-
out doing any damage.
The following are the rules and reg-
ulations for the Freshman-Sophomore
pole rush and cane spree.
1. There shall be 3 poles, 26 feet
above the ground and 100 feet apart in
a north and south line.
2. There shall be nailed to the tops
of the extreme poles, a banner 6 feet
long, by 3 feet wide, made of blue den-
im with a yellow "M."
3. The freshmen shall defend the
three poles.
4. The sophomores shall advance in
two nearly equal columns from oppo-
site sides of the field, and advance to-
ward the end.poles.
5. It shall be the object of the soph-
omores to gain posession of the three
fiags in thirty minutes.
6. All flags 'taken must be turned
over to the referee immediately. At
a regular meeting of the student coun-
cil, the flag will be presented to the in-
dividual taking it.
