AT 55-4 SCORE
YESTERDAY'S GAME ON FERRY
FIELD SLOW TO BEGIN, WAS
FEATURED BY AVALANCHE IN
SECOND HALF.
CRAIG AN INDIVIDUAL STAR
First Time in History That The
Farmers Ever Made A Touch-
Down Against Michigan.
For about thirty minutes yesterday
afternoon the aggregation composing
the M. A. C. football team threw an
awful scare into Michigan. Then for
the next thirty minutes the Michigan.
scoring machine put on full steam and
swamped the Farmers with an ava-
lanche of touchdowns that satisfied the
most rabid rooter. A total of forty
eight points were amassed the last
half and the game ended with the
score of 55 to 7.
The game started all wrong. Michi-
gan took the ball and marched toward
the goal and then a forward pass was
uncorked. B. Miller, a Farmer end,
got his paws on the ball and set off on
a marathon for eighty-five yards,
crossing the goal line and putting the
Wolverines on the short end. The
quarter ended with Michigan still
trailing and it was not until nearly
the end of the first half that Craig
plunged through for the tying count.
rhen the excitement started and by
straight football, mixed with a little
forward passing, it was just at

I The Michigan freshmen lost their
first game yesterday when the heavy
Alma squad defeated them by a score
of 6 to 0. The game was played on an
extremely muddy field and the weight
of the college team was an important
factor in deciding the game. The on-
ly score in the game came early in the
second quarter when Alma pushed the
ball through the line for a touchdown
and failed to kick goal.
The youngsters showed rather a lack
of practice for their offense was rather
weak and ineffective against the Alma
team. A few forward passes were
tried but no substantial gains for any
distance were made by either team
via this aerial route. The defense of
the freshmen was excellent consider-
ing that they have had but little scrim-
mage and the line was exceedingly
strong. When Alma scored their lone
touchdown they had the ball on the
Freshman's one foot line on first down
but the stubborn defense prevented it
being pushed across until the fourth
down when the quarter managed to
wiggle through the mass for the re-
quired foot.
Although there were no particular
stars in the game the entire freshma
team played hard football and Coac
Conklin was satisfied with the showing.
Alma is the same team that held M.
A. C. to a 14 to 3 score last Saturday
and is considered the strongest small
college team in the state.
The lineup if the all fresh was:
Dillman, R. E.; Norton, R.T.; Beech-
ler, R.G.; Cochran, C.; Quayle, L.G.;

Dissatisfaction is rife among a large
number of students because, by a tech-
nicality, they were disqualified from
voting in the athletic association elec-
tions yesterday. On Thursday, a ruling
was passed by the-board of directors
of athletics, requiring the presentation
by each voter, of the university treas-
urer's receipt for dues, instead of the
athletic association membership book,
before a ballot would be awarded to
him. This action was taken by the
board on the grounds that the receipt
slips would be less likely to be lost in
Saturday's flag rush than would the
membership books.
Owing to an oversight, the action of
the board was not published in Fri-
day's issue of The Daily. Notices of
the ruling were issued from the ath-
letic office on Friday. Yesterday, the
-morning of the election, the ruling ap-
peared in connection with an advance
story of the election in The Daily.
This notification having failed to
reach a large number of voters, many
came to the polls with their athletic
books instead of the required receipts,
or with neither, thinking that there
would be no question as to exercise of
their suffrage rights. Owing to the flag
rush, many were unable to get their
receipt before the closing of the polls,
others were unable to find them, and
still others had sent their receipts
home. y
It is contended by those who were
disqualified from voting, because of
the technicality, that the membership
book should have been sufficient, or
that the filed list of members of the
athletic offices should have furnished
the basis of identification.
It is thought that the board of direc-
tors may move to a reconsideration
of the matter, or that the board in
control may review the ruling pass-
ed by the under body.
"If injustice has been done," said
Director Bartelme, last evening, when
interviewed, "I believe that the board
will do all in its power to correct the
same."

Booker T. Washington
P'hilosophy From
'Toil.
WILL SPEAK HERE

Dr. Booker T. Washington, who will
speak Monday .afternoon under the
auspices of the Oratorical Association,
will be entertained at a dinner at 5:30
o'clock to be held at the Michigan
Un:on club-house, following his ad-
dress. Among others, there will be
present at the dinner, Dr. Angell, Pres-
ident Hutchins, Professor Trueblood,
and members of the Oratorical As-
sociation.
Born a slave on a Virginia planta-
tion, just prior to the Civil War, in the
midst of the most discouraging sur-
roundings, and hedged about by seem-
ingly insurmountable difficulties,Book-
er T. Washington has risen to his pres-
ent eminent position as the leader of
his r!ace and one of the foremost men
of the country, by the sheer force of
hard work and a dominant personality.
A career, marked at its inception by
struggles to obtain an education while
forced to aid in the support of a family
during the terrible times of depression1
following the great war, and always
requiring the utmost of faith and dog-
ged determination, presents obstacles
before which the average man stands
appalled.
As a boy Booker T. Washington,
having gained the elements of his ed-
ucation in such odd moments as he
could spare, in 1872 contrived to make
his way to the Institute at Hampton,
Virginia. Here he made such a record
that he was appointed to take charge
of the new school for negroes at Tus-
kegee, Alabama, in 1881. The Tuske-
gee Institute has since become famous
for the principle which it has main-
tained-that of combining a knowledge,
of useful trades with book-lyearning in
the education of the colored race. Ear-
ly in life, he acquired a reputation as
a brilliant speaker, his address at the
Atlantic Exposition in 1895 on the ne-
gro problem, creating a sensation. In
the following year, he was presented
with the honorary degree of Master
of Arts by Harvard University.
Booker T. Washington's creed may
best be summed up in his own words:
"I have learned that success is to be
measured not so much by the position
that one has reached in life as by the,
obstacles which he has dvercome while
trying to succeed."1

FORCE AND WORK
GAVE HIM POWER

Learned His
Life of
TOMORROW.

The second attempt at a big outdoor
mass meeting before a Varsity foot-
ball team developed even more enthu-
siasm among the student rooters than
the first. Perhaps it was the presence
of the opposing rooting force; perhaps
it was the presence of the fine M. A. C.
cadet band at Ferry field yesterday,
but at any rate the U. of M. supporters
cheered and sang their respective
throats hoarse from the first fiery en-
treaty by "Whitey" Otis to the final
singing of the "Yellow .and Blue" at
the conclusion of the game. And chief
among those whose throats were
hoarse, was Prof. R.E.Bunker who gave
the rooters who assembled early a
fine sturdy address.
"Whitey" Otis started enthusiasm
proceedings as soon as a sufficient
rooting contingent had been gathered,
together. He made a stirring little
appeal to the students by challenging
the right to be called "Michigan men"
of every one who did not have "pep"
enough to get out and cheer the team
to victory. From then on Otis and his;
corps of assistants had nothing to ask
of the rooters. They were on the job;
when the score jlooked blackest and
when there was Ja considerable rift in
the clouds.f
Frank Murphy, as chairman of the
mass meeting interoduced Prof. Bunker
of the law department. Prof. Bunker
made a stirring address. He spoke of

Live Tips.
Scoring three points to their ver
opponents two, the class of 1915
quished the freshmen yesterday m
ing in the fall contests. Both of
classes turned out well and a
sized crowd was on South Ferry
to witness the annual scrap bet,
the two underclasses.
Arriving first, the freshmen gro
themselves around the three poles

"Hap" Haff fired the starting sho
The unexperienced fresh were o
powered by their opponents and it
only three minutes for the banne
the first pole to be in the posses
of a soph. The second pole was
tured by the second yearmen in
minutes.
It was round the third pole that
battle took place and twenty min
had passed before an agile soph
able to climb over the fighting fi
and force his way tip the pole
gain the banner. The actual time
the rush was 28 minutes.
Masquerading as a fresh, a soph
found among the first year men gatl
ed around the middle pol. He
daubed with green paint an the fr
men thinking that he was a fel
classman helped him up the pole,
when he kept on climbing they real:
that they had been deceived. W
his identity was discovered he was
mediately disqualified by Gent
Chairman "Eddie" Saier, and the
was awarded to the freshmen.
As the sophonmore took an unfair
vantage and also violated one of
rules of the rush in not forming
one of the two columns that adva
upon the outside poles the point
'given to the freshmen. It was lean
that he did this contrary to the w
es of the sophomore class but on
count of this conduct the second
class suffered.
"I promised that I would be fait
both sides," said General Chai
Saier last night, "I awarded the
points to the freshman for the pro
tion of the rush. If the sophomore
gone unnoticed it would mean t
some one would be seriously inju
next year and this could not affor
happen. The rush as a whole was
cleanest one that has been held."
The cane spree was won by
sophs, 17-5, inten minutes.

from the "chicken coops" in Ypsi

Michigan spirit and his appeal to Mich-
igan men was appreciated by those
who were in a position to hear it.
Notwithstanding the true rooting
spirit that was generated before yes-
terday's game,, there is, in the opinion
of those who have the interest of the
new schme at heart, one thing that,
will go to make the outdoor meetings
much more of a success. This would
be to get the rooters out -early. Yes-
terday's meeting would have been
much more of a success if the rooters
had been out early enough to conduct
the meeting before the preliminaries
of the game were put under way. At
least this is the sentiment of a number
of people who were unable to hear
Prof. Bunker during the din of the
bands and cheering.
