AGGIES COME
CONFIDENT OF
FIRSTVICTORY
Michigan, With Crippled Backfield,
Is Still Hopeful; Never
Having Lost to
Farmers.
"BRUTE" PONTIUS, TACKLE,
TO START AT FULLBACK.
Bentley and Catlett are Halves, Wbile
Raynsford Will Play
Tackle.
Partially crippled but still hopeful,
Michigan faces M. A. 0. on Ferry field
this afternoon for the annual clash be-
tween the two big state institutions, in
the first real test of strength for the
Wolverines.
The Aggies come to Ann Arbor
avowing their belief that they will at
last win from the Varsity. They boast
the best team they have ever had, with
all the players. in the best of condition.
Although the Farmers once held
Michigan to a nothing to nothing score
In on of "the lean years," the Lan-
sing teams never until last year scored
a touchdown against Michigan; and in
the seven games the two colleges have
played, Michigan has scored 282 to 13
points for the agriculturists.
Today, however, may prove an ex-
ceptional one in the history of rela-
tions between the two schools. With
three backs, Benton, Galt and Mead,
still on the injured list, and several
others in none too good condition,
Yost has a knottty problem in select-
ing his backfield.
Despite the rain yesterday afternooh
the coach drove his squad through a
signal practice on the slippery baseball
diamond lasting until long after dark.
At the conclusion of the grinding drill
he announced that "Brute" Pontius,
the veteran tackle, would start at
fullback, with Catlett and Bentley at
halves, and Raynsford in right tackle.
Michigan supporters will observe
the performance of Pontius at his new
position with the greatest interest, as
the result of Yost's latest shift. will
not only be sifinificant in today's game,
but may prove the critical factor in
the development of this year's ma-
chine.
Should a Michigan back be injured,
the result might be disastrous to Mich-
igan. If Hughitt is hurt the choice of
general will be a difficult one, as Galt,
who has been the substitute all season,
is hardly in condition to play, no mat-
ter how sorely he were needed.
If Bentley has to be taken out, Pon-
tius will have to be shifted to the line,
and Quinn sent in at full, as Bentley
is the only punter of the backs who
will start.
Quinn might possibly be sent in at
half, but this is scarcely probable,
Benton is absolutely unable to play,
but Mead might play. He has been
used at both full and half.
Bastian will probably be seen at half
before the tilt is over. The youngster
has proven a whirlwind at the plung-
ing game in the scrimmage this week,
but his tackling and blocking are not
all that they might be.
The game will start at 2:30 o'clock,
and a trainload of M.A.C. rooters is
expected to be on hand to urge on their
team to victory.
Owing to the large attendance which
is expected, tickets will be put on sale
at the athletic office from 8:00 to 2:00
o'clock.
The teams will line up as follows:

Most Valuable Player on
Varsity.
COACHES AND TRAINER DECIDE.
Roscoe, Irwin and Corwin Huston,
three Michigan alumni, have made ar-
rangements for the donation of four
football trophy cups, to be awarded to
the most valuable players on the Var-
sity football teams for four successive
years, commencing with the 1913 sea-
son. The conditions of award are et
forth in the following letter:
Editor, The Michigan Daily:-
"The undersigned have made ar-
rangements with Wright, Iay, & Co.,
of Detroit, for the manufacture of four
football trophy cups. Each of these
cups will be of sterling silver, about
24 inches high, and of uniform design.
The cups are donated, after consulta-
tion with Athletic Director Bartelme
and the coaching staff, under the fol-
lowing conditions:
"1. Immediately after the conclu-
sion of the last football game of the
Michigan schedule the head coach, the
chief assistant coach, and the trainer,
will each be asked to prepare a list of
five members of the team ranked in
the order of their value to the team
during the past football season. T
"2. These lists are to be sealed and
given to the donors of these cups, who
are to hold them until after the elec-
tion of the football captain for the
following year.
"3. The lists are then to be opened
in the presence of the Athletic Direc-
tor, and canvassed. Five points are to
be awarded to the first name on each
'of the three lists, four points to the
second, three points to the third, two
points to the fourth, and one point to
the fifth.
"4. The player with the most points
on the three lists is to be awarded the
cup for that season.
"5. In case of a tie in number of
points between two or more players,
that player of those tied, who is rank-
ed highest on the list of the head
coach, is to be awarded the cup.
"6. Announcement of the final re-
sult, together with publication of the
three lists, (but without designation
of the maker of any particular list),
is to be made in The Michigan Daily.
"7. The name of the player desig-
nated as first choice by the above
method will be engraved in the blank
space in the front face of the cup, and
the cup will be presented to him by
the donors.
"On the reverse side of all the cups
will be etchings from photographs,

halfback of the Michigan teams of

FOOTBALLSMOKER
OPEN TO ALL MEN
All men in the university, whether
Michigan Union members or not, may
attend the big football smoker to be
held at the gymnasiums, Tuesday
night, November 18. Last year about
2,000 crowded into the gyms and this
year's management, with Edward H.
Saier, '15L, as general chairman, be-
lieves that there will be no difficulty
in drawing a crowd of similar propor-
tions.
The general plans for the event are
similar to those of last year, including
the erection of bleachers in Waterman
gymnasium and a liberal distribution
of cider, doughnuts, tin cups, pipes, to-
bacco and cigarettes.
The complete committees will be ap-
pointed the first of next week:

E. C. HEADMAN SELECTED TO
LE I) CLASS IN ANNUAL FRAY
Activities Will Begin at 9:30 O'clock
This Morning on South
Ferry Field.
Damp weather did not succeed in
dampening the ardor and enthusiasm
of about 700 sophomores who crowded
into the west physics lecture room
last night. The exhuberant spirit evi-
denced at first, settled into a deter-
mined attitude to get out this morning,
and humble the first year men.
E. C. Headman was selected to lead
the sophomore forces, with L. B. Hyde,
J. E. Chenot, C. H. Ross, M. M. Day to
assist him. P. C. Wagner was elected
as cheerleader.
Carrel B. Haff stirred up "pep"
among the second year men, and Ed-
ward Saier, acting as chairman, inject-
ed a few words of advice into the sec-
ond year men. The president of the
student council explained the things
which are barred while Arthur Kohler
explained the rules in general.
The rush is scheduled to begin at
9:30 o'clock this morning on south
Ferry field. The freshmen will meet
at the campus flag pole at 8:30 o'clock
and the sophomores will assemble near
the old engineering building at the
same time. All contestants must wear
tennis shoes.
Carroll Haff will referee, and James
B. Craig will act as his assistant.
Chairman Kohler has requested that
all officials, that is all "M" men of ev-
ery branch of athletics, and all student
council men and ex-council men meet
at the center flag pole at 9:00 o'clock,
to receive instructions.
INTELLECTUAL ATMOSPHERE
BRINGS BAK TOM LOVELL
Tom Lovell, famed among students
and citizens as Ann Arbor's "cobbler-
preacher-poet," has just returned from
Windsor, Canada, where, he spent a
rather unsuccessful summer. He in-
tends to make this city his permanent
home, declaring that he felt "like a fish
out of Water in the absence of the
boys," and he expresses delight over
his return to the intellectual atmos-
phere "that is precious to my heart."
ROBERT I, FULTON
PRESENTS RECITAL
Dean Robert Fulton, of Ohio Wesley-
an university, opened the Oratorical
versity Hall last night, with a number
of dramatic recitals and readings, in-
cluding a translation of Gustav Nor-

es from Macbeth, Mark Twain's hum-
orous story of a newspaper interview,
and a Siwash college football story,
substituting the names of Varsity foot-
ball stars for George.Fitch's heroes.
The audience, though small received
Dean Fulton's readings in an enthusi-
astic manner.
The next number will be a lecture
on November 7 by Professor R. D. T.
[Hollister of the oratory department,
followed by Jacob A. Riis, who will oc-
cupy the platform on November 21.

NO PRACTICE HELD YESTERDAY.
Coach Douglas this morning leads
seventeen determined members of his
All-Fresh squad for an invasion of
Hillsdale for the second game of the

was called off, the yearlings being
given a day of rest. Aside from the
shift of quarterback Huebel to the
right end vacaacy, there will be no
changes in the lineup of the freshmen.
A number of men will make the trip,
however, who will probably be given
an opportunity to show their mettle
