THE MICHIGAN DAILY y 1 PLAYERS PREPAREI FOR SOCCER GAME i 1 .' Notice detail on this Wet Weather Shoe WAGNER & CO State Street Sigo *I the Big White Shoe In spite of the handicap of cold weather, a small squad of soccer play- ers turned out for the first day of practice in preparation for the game with the exponents of soccer from the Ypsilanti Normal College, next Sat- urday. It is hoped by Coach Douglas that today will see the squad increase in numbers, as there are 'several posi- tions that have as yet no men to fill them. The Ferry field club house has been kept open especially for the play- ers, and a steaming shower is kept ready for them after their work-out. It is hoped that everyone interest- ed in having soccer continue as a sport at Michigan will try for a place on the team that will represent the universi- ty in its first inter-collegiate soccer football game, as any enthusiasm shown now by the students wiill do much to convince the athletic author- ities that soccer should not only be continued, but given more attention next spring. Reports from the Ypsilanti camp seem to indicate that the future teach- ers are leaving no stone unturned in their preparation for the chance to win from a team representing Michigan on the athletic field. This season marks the introduction of the game at both institutions, and Coach Douglas is far from willing that the honor of Michigan should be dragged through the mire of defeat, even in a game that is still in the experimental stage.. If given a few more men to work with, the coach will be able to build up a strong scoring eleven on a nu- cleus of six experienced players. Practice will be held every afternoon this week at 3:00 o'clock. CLASS BASKETBALL TEAMS PRACTICE Although the inter-class series of basketball games is not scheduled to begin until after the Christmas holi- days, a number of the class teams have already begun to train for the competition. Chief among the teams now in ac- tion is the championship junior engi- neer team which hopes again to go through the season undefeated. The fresh lits turned out 40 strong yester- day and have started work in earnest. Several other teams in the literary and law departments have also begun training, and it is expected that after the holidays, many of the fives will have their men weeded down to such an extent that team play may be tak- en up. As yet no inter-class basketball manager has been appointed, and no schedule aranged. It is expected that the appointment of a man to take charge of the series of games will soon be made known, however, and a schedule adopted,-so that this popular indoor athletic activity can be organ- ized on a definite basis.

E F I Hart tonafAmfnr Adubk as M a rx* ANNOUNCE PLANS FOR WINTER SPORT Immediately after the Christmas holidays, F. W. DuBois, manager of inter-departmental hockey, will issue a call to all candidates for the sever- al department teams. Last year there were only four teams in the series, but from all indications this year's schedule will have to accommodate six or more departments. The presidents of the senior classes of the departments entering teams will appoint managers of their respect- ive squads, and these representatives will draw up a schedule, which will be announced after the Christmas vaca- tion. The championship will be de- cided on the percentage basis, as that scheme has proved more efficient in other universities than has the system of elimination. The candidates will not lack in- struction. Coach Douglas will tutor the club-wielders, and Dr. May, who chased the puck on the Yale team a few decades past, will always be on handtto give the boys a few inside pointers. Dean M. E. Cooley Still Held in East, Dean M. E. Cooley, who has been detained in Baltimore, Md., with a se- vere case of la grippe, will not return to Ann Arbor for at least a week. His condition has improved, however, and by the latest report he was convalesc- ing rapidly. SENIOR LITS WILL START FiNANCIAL CAMPAIGN A DAY Treasurer E. R. Johnson of the sen- ior lit class has instituted a campaign to collect dues from delinquent mem- bers of the class. A committee of about 15 men has been appointed, who, equipped with tags and placards, will attempt to beat the record set last year, when, in a, similar campaign, $80.00 were taken in A stand will be placed in University hall, where those who wish to escape persecution by the collectors may go and pay their dues. At a meeting of the Aeronautical society, held last evening in the engi- neering building, ararngements were completed for experimentation with the glider which the club constructed last year. The machine is now lo- cated in the hangar, south of the city. Although several attempts were made last spring to navigate the at- mosphere with the glider, it was found difficult to raise the machine more than a foot or so from Mother Earth.' This year the amateur aeronauts are confident that they can obtain better results, and the initial tryout will be held in the next few weeks. L. C. Wilcoxen, '16E, was chosen as experimental manager for the soci- ety at the meeting last evening. Wil, coxen has had practical experience in glider tests in Massachusetts, and it is expected that under his direction the local machine can be tempted to soar on high. The other officers elected were: Carl Guthe, '14E, president; H. C. Drake, '14E, vice-president; G. F. Wickes, '15E, secretary and treasurer.

Forestry Faculty Find Suggestions of Students Valuable. According to the members of the forestry faculty the student sugges- tion box which was installed last week has already proved' to be a suc- cessful venture. It has brought out a number of very pertinent sugges- tions that have already been acted upon, and steps taken to carry them out as far as possible. As the sug- gestions are taken from the box they are discussed by the faculty, and as soon as they are able to give an opin- ion their decision is placed on the suggestion and it is then posted on a bulletin board provided for that pur- pose So far as is known the idea is en- tirely a new one and its further suc- cess is bound to be watched with much interest by members of the fac- ulty and students of other depart- ments. DR. JEAN BECK WILL GIVE ADDRESS ON TROUBADOURS Eminent Philologist Will Give Second Number on Cercle Fran- caise Course. Dr. Jean Beck, eminent philologist and authority upon music of the mid- dle ages, will give the second number of the Cercle Francais series of en- tertainmen'ts next Friday afternoon at 4:00 o'clock' in Memorial hall. His subject will be "The Music of the French Troubadours from the XI to XIV Centuries." Dr. Beck is at pres- ent professor of Romance Philology in the University of Illinois, to which position he came two years ago from the University of Strasbourg. He has written several volumes upon the mu- sic of the troubadors. Professor Beck is also the discov- erer of the secret of musical notation as it was known to strolling musicians in the period of which he talks, a thing that had long puzzled investigators of that music. During the course of his lecture, he will sing a number of old troubador "chansons" transcrib- ed directly from the originals, and will play his own accompaniment up- on instruments that he has recon- structed after those used by the trou- badous themselves.
