S. U. TO BE CRUCIAL ONE OF SEASON IN PUTTING TEAM ON SECURE BASIS. PROMISES TO BE HARD GA E Aggregation to Make Trip to Colum-. bus is Composed of Twenty. Three Men. The last practice preparatory to tackling the Ohio State aggregation Saturday was held yesterday afternoon and there was a slight improvement in the calibre of the team work. There was some slight scrimmage, though not enough to hurt anybody, and a long signal drill polishing off the few surprises that have been prepared for Richards, the Buckeye coach. And now, except for a slight workout in Columbus Friday, the work of prepa- ration for the game is over. Yesterday afternoon the Varsity were sent up against a few select formations labelled o. S. U. but judging from the reports of Michigan scouts at the Ohio games, it is entirely probable that these formation could prove an alibi. The Michigan hopes had no great- difficulty in solving th Buckeye puzzlers and this bit of hope bright- ens up the dull horizon a trifle. But there is a lot of difference between mildly stopping alleged plays in sim- ple scrimmage and putting a quietus on these same plays in a game. Per- haps the dubious line has taken a .brace and really shown the true cali- bre of the men who compose it, for if these men actually play their best there will be a world of difference. Twenty-three Make Trip. To those who are inclined to be a bit superstitious the start* of the squad rather lowers the odds on the Wolver- ines, for there are just twenty-three actual players .who are making the trip. The squad is quite the largest that has been taken in some years and it's a sure bet there will be no dearth of substitutions as Yost has over two teams to trot out on to the field at any time. Just who out of the nearly two dozen will be picked to start the contest is unknown as Yost has decided to wait until Satur- day to make the selection but it is probable that the same lineup that started against M. A. C. will go on to the field. Game is Crucial One. To those who have been following the team closely, the contest Saturday is really the crisis of the entire sea- son. If the team can come through this game with a victory by a good score a certain amount of confidence, which is badly needed, will be supplied and the last half of the schedule will not appear as stiff as it does now. But with Syracuse the week afterward and then the two big games, a victory is essential. And not only is the victory cssential but what is more necessary is that the teamfind itself. There is no denying the fact that in the past three games the team has not done itself justice, has not been certain of its plays, ofits power. The work has been rather hesitant, the plays have lacked the pepper, the defense has been rather ragged, in short every man has not as yet discovered his duties and learned them. If in this game, the clock- work play appears, the rest of the sea- son is a mere matter of polish, but if the play is still ragged, it means that the worrying work of preliminary training is not over., Will Be Hard Game. There is another factor of the game that is overlooked by many and yet is looked upon with fear by those who have made this year's football season a study. The fact stands forth that this will be the hardest game until Pennsy is tackled. Yost knows this fact and the hard workout of this week bears testimony of the fact. Farrell knows it and has told the team so and t . . . . , -.. ., - V -- -ove - ett University Observatory-Thursday 7:00 p. m. temperature 53:4; maxi- mum temperature 67:3; minimum temperature 35:8; average wind ve- locity 8 miles.

UNIVERSITY ROLL SHOWSINCREASE Literary Dental and Pharmic Depart- ments Show Gains Over Last Year. TOTAL ENROLLMENT TOPS 5,628. Accurate data compiled by Secre- tary Smith shows that up to date 46 more' students have registered in the university than were enrolled during the entire 12 months of last year. With the new second semester students who usually number about 150, the total increase for the year will be in the neighborhood of 200. The literary department alone shows an increase of more than 120, while the dental pnd pharmic departments and summer session also show slight gains. Following are the latest figures: Dept.

Last year's total was 5582. PETITION FOR ADVANCING INTEREST IN MINOR SPORTS Wrestling, Boxing and Fencing to Take ia Boost If Petition Passes Board. If a petition, now in the hands of the Board of Regents, in favor of an ap- propriation for wrestling, boxing and fencing, is passed, a new branch of athletic endeavor will be opened to students interested in these sports and for those unable to meet the stiffer re- quirements of the major sports. Last spring several hundreds of stu- dents and.a number of members of the faculty petitioned the Athletic associ- ation to make provision for the en- couragement of minor sports. The Executive Board of the Athletic associ- ationturned it over to Dr. May who laid it before the regents, who con- sidered it at their last meeting and re- ferred to a committee. Pending the action of the Board all enthusiasts in these games are lying low, and have begun no plans for a 'repetition of the various cup contests held last winter. ENGINEERING SOCIETY PLANS SERIES OF FREE LECTURES. Arrangements have been completed by W. Scott Hopkin, '13 E, president of the Engineering society, whereby a greater number of free lectures will be given under the^ auspices of the society than ever before in its history. Through the aid of Prof. H. E. Riggs, of the civil engineering department, 25 or more of the country's most prominent civil engineers will lecture this year. Some of these men will come great distances to speak. Sex- eral lectures will also be given on the other branches of engineering.

WOLVERINES OUTWEIGH OHIOANS (Special to The Michigan Daily.) COLUMBUS, 0., Oct. 17.-The Ohio State football team is ready to enter- tain Michigan^ on Saturday. Coach Richards has his men in shape for the big game against the Yost proteges from Ann Arbor, and there is a deter- mination' in the Ohio camp to give Michigan the surprise of her season. Richards has developed his team on the system of playing two equally bal- anced nelevens against each other in scrimmage. The former Wisconsin tutor figures that uner this unique system a strong offense and defense as well is built up, and no one depart- ment of the game slighted or over- emphasized. With the team primed to the minute with no end of experi- ence behind it, Richard himself hopes to defeat the Wolverines. Ohio's backfield will probably av- erage around 170 pounds, and is com- posed of four fast men, despite their weight. Michigan's line is expected to outweigh that of Ohio, but the for- wards who wear the red and gray are full of the fighting spirit that counts in the battles and will endeavor to outplay their heavier opponents. The Ohio State rooters are ready to entertain their friends from Michigan and have trained a cheering section that will be on the job every minute in oppostition to the trainload of Mich- igan supporters who will journey to Columbus from Ann Arbor The 0. S. U. Alumni Association of Columbus will give a banquet after the game, open to Michigan visitors. One dollar a plate will be charged. FRESHMEN GET STIFF WORKOUT Saturday's Game With Hillsdale Be- yond Grasp of Dopesters. Light practice for the freshman team is a thing of the past for this week at least and the first year men are being put through some stiff tours of instruction each afternoon at Fer- ry field. Scrimmage until darkness' prohibited passing the ball was yes- terday's program and the men are be-' ginning to show the results. Saturday's contest with the Alma' eleven left the freshman squad in a rather battered condition for tomor- row's clash with the Hillsdale crowd1 and Coach Conklin will be forced to1 fill a number of gaps before the battle. Rhoem, Gault, and Beechler were the victimst whose injuries will most se- riously impair the yearling's chances,' the latter receiving a severely wrench- ed ankle in the former melee which' will keep him out of the game entirely. Gault and Rhoem will probably appear in the lineup but will be handicapped' by injuries similar to that suffered by Beecheler but of a nature not so se.- rious. The strength of the Hillsdale eleven' cannot be determined with any degree1 of accuracy, unless their tie game with' Detroit University is an indication of strength or weakness but with the crippled condition of the local team it is safe to assume that they will have their hands full when they tie up at Ferry field. Arrangements have been made whereby the results of the Varsity-O. S. U. contest will be announced at in- tervals during the game tomorrow af- ternoon and the suspense will be re- lieved by means of the cheer leader's megaphone. GLEE CLUB TRYOUTS SHOW LACK IN TENOR MATERIAL. A large number turned out for the Glee Club tryouts last night, the com- petition being particularly keen in the bass section. There are a number of openings for tenors, however, and any- one wishing to try out for eother first, or second tenor part may make ar- rangements with Prof. Howland at the School of Music. The first rehearsal of the new club will probably be call- ed the latter part of next week. FAIR SEX PLANS FOR O.S.U. TRIP Expect 800 Students Including Univer- sity Girls to Make Trip to Columbus. LEAVE ON T. AND A AT 7:30 A. M. Not only will the male student body of the University of Michigan be well represented at Saturday's game agaist Ohio State at Columbus, but among the rooters will be numbered a score or more of the fair sex, who, defying all tradition, have secured a block of seats for the game and prop- erly chaperoned, will travel to Colum- bus on the special rooter's train which leaves Ann Arbor Saturday morning. Arrangements for the special train have been entirely completed, and those students who wish to make the trip can get their tickets for trans- portation and for the contest at the Athletic association office at any time. Up to date nearly three hundred paste- boards have been sold, and the athlet- ic authorities expect fully that many more will be sold today. An effort is be- ing made by private enterprise to se- cure a parlor car for the use of those who desire it and if the plan is put through especially comfortable accom- modations can be secured. In order to secure parlor car accommodations, ticket holders must sign up in Athlet- ic office before 5:00 o'clock today. Students who desire to make the trip are asked to note the details of the trip once more. The train will leave the Ann Arbor depot at 7:00 o'clock on Saturday morning, will travel over the Toledo and Ann Arbor and Hock- ing Valley roads, and will reach Co- lumbus at about 12:30. Returning the train leaves Columbus at 7:30 and is expected to reach Ann Arbor at mid- night. The block of seats which has been reserved for Michigan students is sit- uated directly in the middle of the stands and will give an unobstructed view of the battle. ALUMNUS APPEARS+ TOMORROW.

Soph Boilermakers Win Initial Clash in Interclass Games; Score 6-0. Sophs 6, juniors 0, was the final score of the game yesterday afternoon between the two football teams from the engineering department. From the first kickoff both teams resorted to the old-time line-bucking and end- runs, kicking and forward passes being. seldom used. In the second period, the sophs began working the ball down the field with consistent gains through the line and on the twenty-yard line, perfected one of the very few passes tried during the game, Haddan tossing the oval to Lyons who galloped over the last mark for the lone score of the game. The second game on the inter-class schedule will be played this afternoon at 4:05 o'clock at which time the junior and soph lits will settle their differences.

MOURNS UNIVERSITY'S, LOSS.,l The University Senate has issued a memorial in commemoration of the late Professor Harrison Standish Smalley. It contains a short sketch of his life and an account of his contribu- tions to the literature of economics. The following excerpts from the docu- ment show the great value the uni- versity placed on his services, and how deeply his death is mourned by his fellow teachers. "In the death of Doctor Smalley.... the Senate is called upon to mourn the loss of one of its most effective teach- ers. "Doctor Smalley was a inember of the teaching staff of the University of Michigan from nineteen hundred and two until the time of his death.... In the fall of 1911 he was appointed Pro- fessor of Political Economy, which po- sition he occupied at the time of his death." "Doctor Smalley was regarded by his coiifreres in the university as a man of exceptional ability as a teach- er. He possessed that rare quality of orderly classification-a quality that showed itself in his writings as well as in his class room presentations. It was this gift of purposeful. analysis and clear exposition that gained for him the large influence which he ex- erted upon the student body....Wheth- er regarded as a teacher, or as a per- sonality upon the campus, the univer- sity has sustained a great loss in the death of Docto Smalley." "It may be proper to add in this connection that among the papers left by Doctor Smalley is a manuscript volume entitled "The Corporation Problem" which its author intended to publish in the near future. It shows that care and presentation, both as to form and matter, which marks all that he wrote; and those best qualified to speak, feel that it would: be a decided loss to Political Science if it cannot now be published. "It is fitting that the Senat should spread upon its minutes these words of appreciation of the life -and work of him who has gone, and tender to Mrs. Smalley apd to all friends its sincere and heartfelt sympathy." CERCLE MEMBERSHIP IS OPEN FOR NEW MATERIAL Tryouts for candidates who wish to take part in the annual play which the Cercle will give this year, are be- ing held daily in the Cercle room in North wing between 2:00 and 3:00 o'clock. "It is neces- sary," said President Cyril Quinn last night "that we find out who is the new material on the campus this year, which has any conversational ability in French, and which wishes to partic- ipate in the activities which we are going to conduct this year." The play will be named shortly as several of the more popular comedies of Moliere and the classic writers are under consideration.I The next reunion of the Cercle will be held on Monday evening at 8:15 o'clock, when a program will be given in French and plans for the coming year's activities will be gone over.
