PRICE FIVE YOST STARTS O NEW F RM.O SECRET WORK VARS4ITY RE(UTLARS ARE (GIVEN STREMN OUS SIGNAL PRACTIcE, WHILE SECON D-STRING ,TEAM PLAYYS SCRUBS ONE TOUCHDOWN SCORED Coach Will T ry to Eliminate Fumbles Which Showed In Saturday's Came With M. A C. Michigan's football team practiced in sections yesterday' afternoon. The workout which Coach Yost gave the arsity was unique in that while the men who have become known as the regulars of the Varsity squad were sent through a stiff signal drill, the second string men of the squad were senM into a hard scrimmage with the scrubs. Yost divided his attention be- tween the two interests. Yesterday's practice was announced as secret, but a number of football supporters gathered at Ferry field be- fore the gates were closed and were permitted to watch the battle between the Varsity substitutes and the re- serves. The second-string men of the Varsity used regular Varsity plays and attempted to rush the reserves. The scrubs, however, put up a game fight and and the scoring was limited to one touchdown. Whlie the Varsity substitutes were battling the reserves, the Varisty reg- ulars had thier woifk cut out for them in a signal drill instigated to correct the glaring faults of the M. A. (- game; Yost evidently doesn't desire the, butter-fingere" tactics of the "Ag- gie" game repeated in ,the 0. S. U. contest Saturdiay, and if constant work at the plays will develop a perfection in handling the leather, the team will From the way in which the first team lined up last evening, it is ap- parent that Yost is planning to have a wealth of halfback material on hand during the remainder of the season. Boyle, the man who was expected to play a sensational game at quarter- back, was placed at right half during the entire signal drill, and the wise ones are predicting that he will have a chance at a half back's job in the 0, S. U. game. Huebel has been show- ing up exceptionally well at quarter and with Bushnell to fall back on the predictions that Boyle will be devel- oped into a halfback on account of his ability as a broken field runner, do not sc ,n entirely 'far-fetched. Yost apparently realizes that under Coach Richards, of 0. S. U., the Buck-a eye players are preparing to give Michigan the battle of their lives. The Michigan game is the big contest t O. S. U., and inasmuch as the gax# will probably be the last in which the two teams will hook up, on account of 0. S. U.'s having joined the conference, the game is being touted as one which w ill be well worth seeing.

WASHINGTON PLEADS CAUSE OF THE NEGRO L'NIVEISITY HALL WELL FILLED BY CROWDI WHICH GATHERS TO HEAR PROMINENT COLORED) ED. L'CAT O. PURSE IS GIVEN T HIM Faculty Members Dine With Him at lichigain Union Following His Address. As an optimist in his views on the future of the colored race, and as one who believes that if developments continue in the future as they have gone on since the emancipation, the negro will stand on a firm footing in America's social organization, Booker T. Washington addressed a large au- dience in University hall yesterday afternoon. The speaker said he thought that in the heart of every honest American citizen, colored or white, there is an appreciation of what square chance really is, that he has appreciated it, and that fair play given to the negro is what will contribute to lifting him from the mire where he was left after the war. "The colored race is a youthful one," said Dr.' 'Washington. "As a young race, it is apt to make mistakes, and these istakes have prejudiced the white citizens against it, but at the present time, methods of education which are being given to the colored man in the south, are teaching him the real dignity and beauty of work, manual as well as mental, "In Tuskegee where my own. school is located, we have 1600 students, learning the various branches of high- er education. There the real needs of the colored man are administered to. He is taught farming; not agri- culture, and the girl is taught sewing, cooking, and substantial housework, not domestic science. Nothing is taught that will inspire him to hold any so-called dignified views on work, rather be is taught that work means his salvation. "Conditions in the south have never been conducive to the easy education of the negro. He has been neglected, but we have fought for him, and the influences of a number of the colored institutions in the Southland are being carried into the life of the nero of the future and of the present. Ne- groes are large property owners in the southern states. Several thous- and of thm are engaged in profes- sional life, industrial life and com- merce." Following the lecture a purse of $150 was made up for Dr. Washington. He was entertained at dinner at the °Michigan Union by President H. B. Hutchins, Prof. T. C. Trueblood, and CANVASSI S TO BE CONTINUEB, Michigan spirit and the desire for good fellowship of the right sort tri- umphed last night, when one of the Union campaign workers presented the slip that put the membership at the 2,000 mark. It was a great victory for the Union and its work, and the clubhouse was filled with congratu- lations when the officials knew that the thing they had worked for this fall had been accomplished and their fondest hopes realized. The fact that the mark has been reached will not keep the membership campaign from continiOing, however. Hardly had the cry of "2,000" been echoed before the slogan was changed to 2,100. It stands there now, a goal for the men to work for and it is ex- pected they will meet it. The Union buttons which should have arrived a week a,-o, will be here Saturday. A tabulation, relative to the num- her of student members, their depart- ment and class is being compiled. It will be published when co,,pleted.

The new pumps will be able to take water at the ordinary city pressure of 50 pounds and raise it to 125 pounds. pressure per square inch. The mains of the new system will reach all parts of the cArmpus and outlying buildings. With water supplied by the naval tank the pumps will be able to raise nine streams each higher than any of the present buildings. According to present plans the sys- tem will be in operation before snow flies. The initial appropriation of $35,000 will be sufficient to carry out present plans. Ultimately more funds will probably be appropriated with which to build a university fire depart- ment building where chemical wagons and other apparatus may be housed. Workmen are engaged on the site of the large stand pipe to be erected by the Ann Arbor Water Co., on Medal- lion avenue. When completed the stand pipe will have a capacity of 250,- 000, gallons and will rise 54 feet, givl ing the water in the structure the same level and pressure as the water in the west part of the city.

SEVERAL COUNTS CLOSE Spelling of Candidate's Name Creates IDispute Among Seniors In Law Department. Voting at the student council elec- tions yesterday afternoon was very light, due to the lecture of Booker T. Washington. For the same reason the junior lits postponed their election un- til this afternoon at 4:00 o'clock. The homeops were unable to hold their meeting, as the councilman in charge failed to appear. All the other classes held their elections in spite of the small numbers that turned out. Complications arose at the senior law election because two voters mis- spelled the name of their candidate. Technically, the votes could have been thrown out, but the sentiment of the class, on rising vote, was so over- whelmingly in favor of counting the ballots, since the intention of the Vot- ers was clear, that the election was carried out. Had these two votes been thrown out, it would have chang- ed the result, as the official count stood: Louis F. Schroeder, 35; Harold F. Pelham, 34. At the election of the senior tits a very close race developed.'The vote to fill the the two regular terms.re- sulted as follows: H. Wilson, 15; R. Spinning, 14; M. Griswold, 13; CTrIb- le, 12. D. Rheinhart defeated G. Kerr 19 to 12 in a ballot to decide 4a tie for the opponent of R. Bassett to fill the unexpired term of "Freddie" 'Gould. On the ballot to fill this place Rheinhart also won, receiving 19 votes against 15 for Bassett The senior engineer election devel- oped the most exciting race. At this meeting the names were posted on the board and the tally clerk .made the count in view of the class. The result was in doubt until the very last ballot was counted, which gave Brown the margin of one over Otto. Until the last three ballots were recorded it was any-one's race. The final result was: R. Drudy, 31; G. F. Brown, 28; J. Otto, 27; A. Kuhn, 26. The junior engineers election result- ed as follows: W. G. Patterson, 34; L. J. Kelliher, 28; A. Eckhert, 15; S. D. Livingston, 11. The election of class officers will be held Friday from 2:30 to 5:30 o'clock. Porter H. Evans h been nominated by petition for vice- president. T. F. McCoy won the junio law election over L. T. Haller by the close vote of 22 to 20. R. E. Woleslage *as elected by the senior dents, defeating J. M. Howell 60 to 7. The pharmics were less successful in getting out a large vote. and D. K.' Strickland was elected to the council with only 7 votes cast for him. His opponent, Glover, received 5. H. Hulbert won over R. H. Bari- beau in the junior medic election, the vote being unannounced. ORATORICAL ASSOCIATION PRESENTS SECOND NUMBEh. The second number of the annual oratorical program will be given this evening at 8:00 o'clock in University hall when Mrs. Katherine O0114r Me- Coy will be heard in her readings from Graham Moffatt's popular play, "Bunty Pulls the string." Admission to this lecture can be obtained upon presentation of the season ticket of the association which will be on sale at the ticket window in University hall from 2:00 until 4:00 p. 'm.
