ANN ARBOR, MICHIGAN, WEDNESDAY, NOVEMBER 6, 1912. tI PRICE FIVE T IY LINE TES WEAK With Only Four Regulars Working Against Them the Reserves Manage to Score Once Against Varsity. .CRAG, PATERSON AND BOYLE ARE STILL ON HOSPITAL LIST Team Leaves for Philadelphia From Ann Arbor Station at 7:30 O'clock Tonight. The ozone in the vicinity of Ferry field assumed a crackling, bluish, tint yesterday afternoon during the daily tflt between the make-shift Varsity lineup and scrubs, and the voices of the coaches rumbled, boomed, and roared in an endeavor to instill fight into the combatants. With only three of the regulars in the line dur- ing the scrimmage, the reserves had things their own way until Thomson was sent in late in the fray, turning the tide of battle to some extent. Tor bet,'Cole and Quinn, and later, Thom- son, were the regulars who took part, and the appearance of new faces in the Varsity line is an indication that Yost has not yet completed the choice of men for the front row. With the Penn contest three days off, and no scrimmage for the regular squad since the South Dakota game, the showing of the Varsity squad such as it is, Is anything but promising. Just what the showing would be with 'the lineup that faced South Dakota is another matter, as three or four regu- lars cannot put up the fight that eleven can. $trength of Quakers is Not Known. Penns-s strength is an unknown quantity, as the reports that have per- colated through to Ferry field from the far distant section of the Keystone state must be taken and weighed like grains of strychnine. They may have had an unsuccessful season so far and Capt. Mercer may not be up to his old time form but such rumors, for they amount to nothing else, cannot affect preparations for a contest that has ever and always been one to the death. Michigan's success in last Satur- day's game should put at ease the fears of the timorous as to the out- come of the coning bout with the Easterners, as it is doubtful if the Varsity will have to face another elev- en like the one from the Vermillion camp this year. But te unexpected is what happens in many cases, and it is safe to assume that Saturday's game will be either Michigan's or Pennsy's Until the last whistle. Varsity Scores Twice on Reserves. In the scrimmage yesterday after- noon, in which only four of the first string took part, the varsity scored twice on the scrubs and their own goal line was crossed once. Jimmy Craig is still feeling his ankle and failed to take part in the mixup as did Paterson and Boyle and the other cripples, but Thomson relieved Quinn, who started at full, before the scrimmage ended. In the secret signal practice which followed the scrub contest, an entirely different lineup presented itself, and was composed of the players who wer in at the finish of the South Dakota game, with the exception of Allmen- dinger who did not put in his appear- ance on the field.. Musser played his position at right guard while Quinn took up his own place at left and re- linquished the full back job to Thom- son. The rest of the lineup for signal Continued on page 4.)

SAILOR BOYS MAY CHEERFOR TEAM Negotiations With Secretary of War 3fay Result in Battleship's Crew being at Game. SPACE IS RESERVED FOR THE. Providing permission can be obtain- ed from the Secretary of the Navy the crew of the battleship Michigan will be on hand this Saturday to cheer the Yellow and Blue on to victory. Last night a telegram was sent to the Secretary of the Navy as follows: 'If consistent with public service the University of Michigan, particularly its 30,000 alumni, would great- ly appreciate having the battle- ship Michigan at Philadelphia so that the crew could participate in the foot- ball game between Michigan and Penn- sylvania next Saturday, Nov. 9. The attendance of the Michigan crew in 1909 excited country-wide interest." (Signed) H. B. HUTCHINS, President. M. E. COOLEY, Dean Dept. of Engineering. This step was taken as the result of an urgent appeal to Dean M. E. Cooley by C. R. Hall, of the University of Michigan club, of Philadelphia. In his letter to Dean Cooley Mr. Hall says, "We have reserved a section of seats in which we would gladly give space to the crew of the Michigan." The aid which the sailor boys gave to the Michigan cheering section two years ago, as well as the beautiful flag which they presented to our team, will be remembered.

LIBRARY SOON TO ACQUIRE COLLECTIONS OF CLASSICS The general library of the universi- ty is to receive in the near future two collections, each of about 750 volumes. The first of these is donated by the heirs of Prof. Elisha Jones, who taught Greek and Latin here from 1870 to 1888. This collection is known as the Carlyle library, from the fact that it contains over 200 volumes written by and relating to Thomas Carlyle. The balance consists of valuable classics. The other books come from Dr. Sam- uel A. Jones, once dean of -the homeo- pathic department, who died in Ann Arbor March 9. This library is valu- ed at $900, and negotiations for its purchase are already under way. FRESH ATHLETE SERIOUSLY ILL WITH BLOOD POISONING Alfred F.

LEADING TAFT IN (Detroit News Service.) With the votes piling in from the doubtful states in favor of Wilson, the election of the New Jersey governor s eems assured.. The returns are as yet very incomplete, but there are only a few states where Roosevelt and Taft have had majorities. Roosevelt leads in Michigan, Illinois, and possibly Pennsylvania, while the only states co needed to Taft are Ohio, Vermont and Rhode Island. Ferris, the Democratic nominee for governor, leads Mussel- man by a small majority, and woman s uffrage, reported at first as defeated by a heavy negative vote, is thought now to be carrying it, this state. Taft's strength seems to lie in the east, while Roosevelt is running the stronger in the central and western states. A late report states that Roosevelt and Taft have telegraphed congrat- ulations to Governor Wilson. VITLCANS OPEN RANKS TO RECEIVE TEN NEW MEMBERS Ten senior engineers were led last night through the fiery pits of the earth to the great god Vulcan's strong- hold, and there made acquainted with the manifold secrets of the Vulcan so- ciety. After the initiation a banquet was held at the Union, at which time Dean M. E. Cooley, Profs. H. C. Ander- son, C. J. Tilden, and S. J. Zowski, responded to toasts, and "Art" Grove spoke in behalf of the apprentices. The following men were initiatel: 'Ted" Baier, "Proc" Brown, "Art" Grove, "Walt" Schuett, "Wy" William-' son, "Mort' Hunter, "Bart" Wood, "Jinks" Otto, "C" Smith, and "Larry" Holmboe. FEAR FOR SAFETY OF PROFIJURIALLEN Threats of Massacre of All Christians by Turks Make. His Position Dangerous. NO STUDENTS LEAVE FOR EAST. Grave fears are being expressed for the life of Prof. John R. Alen, head of the mechanical engineering depart- ment, who is now in Constantinople, Turkey, aiding in the constr ttion of Roberts College. No word has been received from him since the Balkan war began and from the fact that the newspaper reports state that every Turk in Constantinople has taken vow1 to kill every Christian in the capital, the situation has become serious. "There is great danger that the rol- licking soldiers will massacre the Christians in Constantinople," said{ Prof. J. P. Bird, secretary of the engi- neering department. "Prof. Allen is in danger even though Rob- erts College is situated five miles from -the city on a fortified hill. The sol- diers will do anything to kill the Chris- tians and we sincerely hope that Rob- erts College will not be attacked." "As no word has been received fromf Prof. Allen since the war began we are of course very anxious about him," de- clared W. H. Tinker last night, "The situation is mighty serious and all Christians in Constantinople are in danger of being massacred by the sol- diers. Roberts College is protected by'1 the authorities of the city but if the soldiers attacked it, it would be help- less." One Armenian, Z. Kaskasian, arrived from Turkey last Sunday to take up work in the medical department. He left before the present war commenod but says that the massacre of the Ar- menians by the Turks are sure to3 come, and are now being carried on, on a small scale. So far none from the university have signified their intention of going to the war in the capacity of surgeons., but it is expected that some will leave soon. TEACHERS' ASSOCIATION TO HOLD MEETING IN ANN ARBOR Tie MichiganState Teachers' asso- ciation will -hold its next meeting in Ann Arbor, if sufficient accomodations can be found for 7,000 members. At its recent meeting in Grand Rapids the advantages of Hill Memorial hall as a gathering place together with other advantages naturally coming from meeting in a university town were fa- vorably regarded. If it were not for, the problem of finding rooms for its members, the association would have agreed on this place at once. SENIOR LITS TO M1EET SOPH 'ENGINEERS IN SEMI-FINALS. The senior lits will battle against the soph engineers in the second game of the semi-finals this afternoon at 4:05 o'clock on Ferry field. The win- ner of this conflict will play the senior laws Saturday morning for the cam- pus championship. The sophs will be slightly outweighed but as they have overcome this handicap with the teams of their own department, it looks as if both teams would rely today almost entirely upon speed artists in the back- field.

ELECTION RETURNS FLASHED BY DAILYi Through Student Ingenuity Daily is Able to Spread News of Wil- son's Victory. POWERFUL ARC L GHT is USED. Win with Wilson! Through the ingenuity of four senior engineers, The Michigan Daily was able to flash the result of the most spectacular campaign which has tak- .en place in many years. The Michigan Daily had secured a search-light from Detroit which was supposed to be extremely powerful, but when it was connected with an acetylene tank it failed. Plans for flashing the returns had nearly been given up when four senior engineers, 1. E. Lattimer, Don Daron, Stanley Mills and H. E. Keeler appeared at the offices and offered their services. They finally rigged up a powerful electric arc search-LigLt which enabled The Michigan Daily to inform Ann Arbor and its vicinity of the election of Gov- ernor Wilson as Ipresident of the United States, by means of a vertical shaft of light, as previously promised. The flash could be seen for at least DR. ANGELL TO BE AT UNION DINNER Students Wishing to Attend Membership Function May Purchase Tickets. "MIMES" WILL PRESENT Second Still SKIT.

Fresh Medic Committees Appointed. Fresh medic committees have been appointed by Pres. Edgar Beardslee as follows: social committee, W. T. Vaughan, chairman, C. W. Eberbach, F. H. Harrison, J. G. Wilmore, and G. V. Lynch; auditing committee, C. J. Addison, chairman, W. F. Watton, and "DAILY ILLII" Progressive Club Criticises Partiso Attitude of the Paper. The Daily Illini, the student public tion at the University of Illinois, h, been severely criticised for taking partisan attitude in the present polit cal campaign. The paper actively su ported Congressman William B. M Kinley. The criticism came chiefly from t Roosevelt-Johnson Progressive club Champaign county, consisting of pror inent business and professional m of the cities of Urbana and Champaig and many citizens scattered thlroug out the county. Strong resolutio were adopted in which the action the managers of the Daily Illini, t faculty board of control, and partic larly the censor, Dean T. A. Clai were severely condemned. The resolution further gives the id that the action has already resulted considerable injury to the univers in "The Illini's" departure from I long continued policy of non-par ten miles around the surrounding country, the search-light being as pow-. erful as any in use on the great lakes at the present time.
