the poclicy which the 'present admin-
ist atio1n would pursue with regard
to the university. Most of his remarks
along educational lines referred to
the general construction, heating and
ventilation of school houses. He ad-
vised that laws be passed whereby the
superintenidrut of public instruction
and secretary of the state board of
health should have the authority to ap-
prove all plans for school houses
throughout the state. The university
was not mentioned in the address.
"Iub" Huebel Fails to Return After
the Holidays, and Enters Employ
of His Father.
WILL BE BLOW FOR 1913 TEAM.
Herbert H. Huebel, '13E, quarter-
back on the football eleven of 1912,
has left the university. "Hub" has en-
tered the employment of the large
lumbering firm of his father in Me-
nominee, Michigan.
This is the first body blow to the
team of 1913. "Hub" had been with
the Varsity for two years and was con-
sidered as a sure piece of timber for
the All-Western next year. Huebel
began his football career by making
the freshman eleven in 1910. Along
with such men as Craig, Paterson and
Thomson he appeared as Varsity ma-
terial in 1911. Yost, ever on the keen
edge for good material, put "Hub" into{
the backfield his first year as a big
team candidate.
This past year "Hub" was placed in
the position of quarter-back, and Yost
found that the pivot position was
filled by a man big enough to hold it
His generalship in the hard-fougit
Pennsylvania game was flawless. Yos4,
was banking upon this clever little'
dodger to hold the eleven of this fall
in shape, but with this big gap now
to fill, the developments will be inter-
esting to watch.,
"Hub's" favorite stunt on the gridiron
was running through a broken field
and getting dowh under punts. This
kind of work is a real treat to Mich-1
igan enthusiasts of the gridiron andl
Huebet's ability in this line made him
the bright light of many past games.
At the recent executive committee
meeting of the state association in
Kalamazoo, Ann Arbor was regarded
as the logical city in which to hold
the next meeting or the association.
The question of accommodations was
the only obstacle which prevented the
members from deciding in favor of this
city at once. They agreed to leave the
matter in abeyance -until January 18.
If sufficient evidence is brought to
them before that time showing that
all their members can find sleeping
accommodations in Ann Arbor, they
Iwill theni definitely decide to have
their next meeting here.
"The attitude of indifference toward
bringing the meeting here is to be de-
plored," said Prof. C. O. Davis of the
education department. "There are a
number of people throughout the city
who have large houses and who could
accommodate 10 or 15 teacjhers, yet
the post card canvass taken last
month indicated that they were will-
ing to open their homes to only two
or three.
"Only a few of the fraternities and
sororities have returned the cards
sent them, stating the number of
teachers they would' accommodate,
but those which have responded have
promised an encouraging amount of
aid."
GRAND OLD MAN OF MICHIGAN
CELEBRATES HIS 84th BIRTHDAY
President-emeritus James B. Angell,
Michigan's best-loved man, was 84
years old yesterday.
The reporter who took him The
Michigan Daily's good wishes, had
several questions carefully framed
and.,rehearsed. Dr. Angell's man open-
ed the door to him; and, a minute
later, told him to go right on into the
library. Half-way between his chair
and the library door, Dr. Angell met
his visitor with a firm hand-shake and
a kindly smile of welcome. Conver-
sationally, however, he came the whole
way, taking things into

the same quick initiative, that have
made of him a great educator and
diplomat. The situation was simple
for hiu.
"Won't you take a seat?" he asked
cheerily, and then, "You've just come
back from your vacation? Or, per-
hals you weren't home?"
"Yes, Sir," said the reporter, "I was
home."

Angell had learned to spell, 75 years
ago, and told how he himself learned
only a dozen years ago; and he had
listened to a description of travel in
his own distant state in the year
1850.
In short, the interviewer had been
interviewed.

Dr.. C. G. Mylrea, a missionary from
Busrah, Arabia, appeared before a
Cabinet meeting of the Y. M. C. A.
yesterday afternoon in the native Ara-
bian costume, and entertained his au-
dience with a description of the coun-
try and its people. He also displayed
a collection of photographs to illus-
trate his talk, these including some
of the- Michigan people who are en-
gaged in the work there.
Dr. Mylrea is the first representa-
tive who has been sent from Busrah,
and, although there have been maiiy
interesting letters from Dr. Frank
Shaw and the other former Michigan;
students engaged in missionary work
with him, the "student volunteers"
and others interested in the Busrah
movement have been anxiously await-
ing a personal word about the work.
The doctor, who is a graduate of the
University of Pennsylvania, is making
a short lecture tour through the stat-
es, after which he will return to
