the course of a speech that

ng vigor, "but it's been far

air, and that unrest is going to crop
out into action at no very distant
time."
Mr. Shields took occasion to compli-
ment Gov. Osborn on his successful
term of office as governor of Michigan,
and to extend the best wishes of Gov-
ernor-elect Woodbridge N. Ferris to
the football team and student body in
general.
Dean John R. Effinger, of the liter-
ary department, devoted his talk to a
discussion of the advantages of the
Michigan Union.
"Conditions among the students at
Michigan are, probably better than ev-
er before," admitted Dr. Effinger, "but
there's ample opportunity for better-
ment. Improvement is sure to come,
for the large part, from the work of
an organization such as the Union.
Union Largest in Country.
"The Michigan Union now stands as
the largest undergraduate organization
in the country. The Harvard Union,
which ranks second, has a member-
ship less by several hundred than that
of our institution. Such a powerful
body will be the most forcible agency
for good that could possibly arise
from the student body."
"Brass Tacks" was the subject of a
talk by Frank Pennell, '12-'14L, stu-
dent speaker on the program.
"The greatest question in my mind
is: Aren'tA we too conservative?" said
Pennell. "Aren't we perhaps too wil-
ling to term a man a knocker who
works to better existing conditions?
"There can be no doubt but what the
present conditions of Michigan, as re-
gards athletic schedules, is far from
enviable. The natural solution would
seem to lie in the West, but we must
consider well before we act. There
are two mighty big sides to the ques-
tion. The Michigan Daily will under-
take shortly to put both sides of this
question before the student body u an
absolutely impartial sanner."

Edward G. Kemp, '12-'14L, presided{
as master of ceremonies. A telegram
from Earl D. Fabst, '94L, congratulat-
ing the Union and the team, was. read
during the evening.
The band and combined musical
clubs played selections in the course
of the program, and all were enthusi-
astically receive.
The fact that the entire evening's
entertainment went through without
even minor delay or confusion is due
to the efforts of the committee in
charge, of which "Cam" Trible, '12,
was general chairman.

COMMITTEE TO PASS ON MEN.
The identity of the mem who will re-
ceive "M's," "R's" and All-Fresh in-
signia as reward for services during
the football season just completed is
yet to be learned, owing to the fact
that the committee of coaches and ath-
letic association officials which makes
the awards, has not yet met to discuss
the lists which have been submitted
by the coaches of the three teams.
It is understood that the tutors of
the teams have already picked the men
they consider worthy of their insignia.
and turned in a list of names at _the
office of the athletic association. All
that., remains is for the committee to
pass formally on the men and then
make the awards.
Considerable surprise has been man-
ifested on the campus because the Var-
sity letters were not awarded before
the Union smoker in honor of the
team, and therefore no captain elect-
ed. Heretofore the captain of the team
has been elected before the Union af-
fair and has been called upon to re-
spond to a speech together with the re-
tiring captain.
As a matter of fact the Union smok-
er occurred earlier this season than in
preceding years, and for this reason
there was no opportunity for the "M"
men to elect their leader for next
year.

AMERICA'S RHODES SCHOLARS.
Dr. George R. Parkin of Oxford, ex-
ecutive secertary of the Rhodes schol-
arship trust fund, severely criticized
the calibre of some of the students
now sent to Oxford from this country.
In speaking before the National Asso-
ciation of American Universities, now
meeting in Washington, D. C., Dr. Par-
kin divided the Rhodes scholars into
three classes. First were the high
grade students, second the mediocre
ones and third-"well it was a mystery
how they ever got into Oxford." He.
believes that merit should take prece-
dence over financial and social posi-
tion.

WORK AT MICHIGAN
Assistant Coach to Varsity Will Not
Return to Help Yost
Next Fall
HAS WORKED HARD FOR TEAM.,
"Indian" Schulte, Michigan's assist-
ant coach to the Varsity football team
has concluded his duties for the sea-
son. Yesterday the coach departed
for his home at Marcellus, Mich.,
wlere he expects to spend several'
weeks in recreation of the nature of
hunting and fishing.
Schulte will not return to Michigan
next season, owing to the fact that the
university athletic association desires
to engage a coach for the football sea-
son alone. Schulte has made a spe-
cialty of coaching tea'ms throughout
the college year, taking the football,
track and baseball teams in turn, and
for this reason did not feel that he
could come to terms with the athlet-
ic association for next football sea-
As first assistant to Yost this fall,,
the former Michigan star has proved
invaluable. Schulte has been on the
job every minute, helping 4o drill the
linemen into shape and taking care of
the more or less routine features of
practices. In addition to this Schulte
has proven of great service in taking
trips to, other universities with whose
teams Michigan had games scheduled,
for the purpose of getting a line on
their styles of play.
Though "Cap" Redden, who has
been engaged to take Schulte's place
has had a great amount of experience
as assistant to Yost, Schulte has set
him a high example in faithfulness1
and efficiency.
SENIOR LAWS AND SCRUB,
WILL NOT MEET THIS YEAR
Laws Emphatically Deny Truth of Oft1
Repeated Rumor of Post
Season Game.
Persisting even after repeated de-f
nials, the rumor has spread around
the campus that a final post-s sason1
game is to be played between the senr
ior laws, holders of the inter-class
championship and Andy Smith's prot-
eges, the scrubs.
That the scrubs are exceedingly afx-
ious to have the contest arranged, is
not a strange matter when it is con-
sidered that all fall they have served
as the buffers between the Varsity and
glory, and this game if resulting in a
victory would distribute a little of
that much desired glory among their
the society, and will be played, in the
French language.
This year's selection is radically dif-
ferent from previous plays given by
the society, as it deals with Italian life
of the seventeenth century. It is es-
pecially. suitable for student study
and reproduction.
The Cercle will give its customary
course of lectures this year,tand also
two dances, in addition to the play.
Associate memberships in the society
will be offered to students for fifty
cents, and to others for $1.00. These
will be on sale next week, and may be
secured from the French faculty, offi-
cers of the Cercle, or by mail from C.

MICHIGAN IS NOT ENTERED.
Cross Country Team Will Not Be Sent
to Cornell.
Michigan will send no cross coun-
try team to the annual fall matches at
Cornell, Nov. 23.
"The Michigan team was not enter-
ed," stated Trainer Farrell last even-
ing, "though I think it was largely by
an oversight. I do not belive any ofus
thought their entries closed so early."
Though Michigan was not entered it
is belived that the real reason for not
sending a team to Cornelle was the
fact that not enough interest was
shown in the cross country running
to insure a team capable of hdlding
up Michigan's reputation in the east-
ern matches.
Tryouts were recently held by the
cross country club but it is under-
stood the results of the run were none
too satisfactory to the captain of the
team.
ZOOLOGICAL STAFF DESIRES
TO USE TAX FREE ALCOHOL.
At a recent meeting of the zoologi-
cal staff, a movement was started to
secure legislation allowing the greater
use of tax-free alcohol for technical
purposes in the laboratories. The
rigid enforcement of a law which was
passed 40 years ago limiting the use
of tax-free alcohol to the preservation
of specimens, is responsible for the
steps taken by the staff. Unde the
working of this old law three kinds of
alcohol must be kept on hand con-
stantly by every laboratory doing any
technical work and this envolves con-

AGE COMPETES WITH YOUTH
IN CHEERING FOR VARSITY.
Perhaps Michigan did not have a
more enthusiastic supporter at the Cor-
nell game than Mrs. Mary Bruegger,
aged 75, of Detroit. It was the first
football game she had ever witnessed,
anad when the oval ball was brought
into play, she began to quizz her
grandson, a student in the literary de-
partment, about the technicalities of
the game. As the game progressed
and Michigan began to pile up scores,
Mrs. Bruegger caught the contagion of
the rooting section spirit, and vied

play of encouragement to .the Varsity.
