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) (Continued on page 4.) MA C.

YOU CAN'T GET 1WAX TOMORROW. MIMES ELECTS NEW MEMBERS TO OPERA WORK Committee Will Be Picked Thursday to Make Plans for Staging of Production in March. 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. ELECTIONS BY CLASSES WILL' BE HELD TODAY Sophomore Medics Experience Scarcity of Permanent Candidates, Nine Withdraw From Race. ROWL AN) F X EL M)MOINATED s' OR SENIOit LAW PRESIDENCY 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 of each election. Notice was sent out last night to the election judges at each voting place to hand in a complete list (Continued from page 1.) :Detroit Central Vs. Ann Arbor Today. Ann Arbor high school and Detroit Central high are slated to lock horns this afternoon at 3:15 on the Fair grounds gridiron. 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 of Cook county. Lester Waterbury, of Lane Technical High School, and Cyril Talbot, of New Trier High School, were the two men to secure scholar- 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 of the junior law class at its first meet- ing of the year. Walter I McKenzie was elected vice-chancellor and Edwin R. Thurston, Clerk. ' NAME LEADERS FOR FRESHMEN IN BIDRUSHES Wild Enthusiasm Prevails When F rt Year Students Organize For Annual Rush Saturday. YEARLINGS CHOOSE OFFICERS 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. The participants in the cane spree (Continued on page 4.)
