C 1 1wi igan Dal I A BATTLE WITH 1it i SURELY BE WORTH W1 T ANN ARBOR, MICHIGAN, SATURDAY, OCTOBER 18, 1913. PRICE FIVE Vol. XXIV, No. 17. - * * -* * i*. * 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: (Continued on page 4.) * * * * * * * * * * * WOLVE RI N Michigan Michigan Michigan Michigan Michigan Michigan Michigan 39 l19 46 9 6 55 IES vs. AGGIES. *1898 M.A.C. 0 * 1902 MA.C. 0 * S 1907 M.A.C. 0 * } 1908 M.A.C. 0 * S 1910 M.A.C. 3 * S 1911 M.A.C. 3 * > 1912 M.A.C. 7* Total. * ..............280 ................13 Michigan M A..C.... lDelevan's Comet Seen at Observatory.

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, one representing William Heston, left halfback of the Michigan teams of (Continued on page 4.)

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: SECOND YEAR MEN ANXIOUS FORSCUFFLE Sophomores Crowd Westt Physics Lecture Room in a Spirit Rousing Assembly For Rush. 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- daud's poem "Carcassonne," two scen- 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. * MANAGERAL ELECTION. ; * B-0--lMaagr- * * Time- y:00 a. m. to 1:30 p. . * * Place-Room 101 University * * hall. * * Eligibility-Coupon number 3* * will entitle holder to vote. * * The list of candidates follows:* * Baseball Manager:- * * Walter Emmons, Herbert * * Muckley.* * Track Manager:-* hre Charles A.

Coach Douglas this morning leads seventeen determined members of his All-Fresh squad for an invasion of Hillsdale for the second game of the youngsters' season.

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 before the clash is over, as the Bap- lists are heavy and fast.
