PRICE FIVE CENTS. awom -I YOSTMEN RECEIVE STRENUOUS DRILL First Team Kept Hard at Work Until Darkness Stops Practice; Scrubs Given Easy Workout r ALL EXCEPT TWO OF REGULAR PLAYERS IN OWN, POSITIONS Due to Failure of Drop Kicks in Penn Game, Splawn Practices Some Placement Work Yost gave the Varsity its most stern- uous workout of the week last night, keeping his first string men hard at work on Ferry field, until it was im- possible to see the ball. The-drill con- sisted entirely of signal practice, the scrubs getting off with a short turn at the easy work, after which they were excused for the day, and all of the coaches centered their attention on the Varsity formations. Maulbetsch and Catlett were not out, being busy on the campus, but every other regular was on the field. Bastian was at right half, with Roehm at left, Splawn and Hughitt being in their regular positions. Staatz and Benton appeared at the ends,. and the line was the same as was used last night. "Larry" Splawn spent a good deal of time in practicing goals from place- me'sn, and, it is evident that Yost has decided to change the style of his ae- rial attack, following the showing made in the Pennsylvania contest. Splawn failed to drop-kick. goals twice against the Quakers, and Yost believes that the placement style will prove much more effective against Cornell. The Reserves had to run through signal practice to keep from freezing to death, Dunne, Hildner, Bushnell and Zieger appearing in the backfield on this squad. Both teams used for- ,ward passes almost altogether, Splawn hairlingout most of the tosses for the first string. Lyons has again been shifted, and is now a fullback. The former end played a flank in the early games, halfback in the Syracuse and Harvard games, and end again against Penn- sylvania. Splawn will start the game, however.

ERNEST BAILEY HELPS CLEAR JOE REINGER LETTER CASE Ernest Bailey, a brother of Harold Bailey, the easterner to whom Joe Reinfer sent the letter about "fixing" the Cornell game, declared that the whole matter looked like a frame-up to him, in a statement made yester- day. Ernest Bailey said farther that his brother is a Harvard graduate, and at the present time a traveling man, hav- ing stopped at Ann Arbor and played in "Joe's" billiard room during his travels. He believes that it was then that Joe received the impression that Harold was a professional gamblers TODAY Glee and Mandolin clubs' concert, Hill auditorium, 8:00 o'clock.

DTM MAIY SUPPORTERS Alumni Rooters From Nearby Cities Help Swell Ranks of Those Accompanying Team SQUAD IN PINK OF CONDITION (Special to The Michigan Daily.) ITHACA, N. Y., Nov. 11.-Prepara- tions are completed for the sendoff of the team tomorrow, and campus in- terest is at fever heat over the game with Michigan on Saturday. A large number of rooters have already signi- fied their intention of accompanying the team to Ann Arbor, and delega- tions of alumni rooters from Chicago, Toledo, Cleveland and Detroit will in- sure plenty of support for the big red team, when it faces Yost's warriors on Ferry field Saturday. -. Coach Sharpe will take an experi- enced teamwith him when he leaves for Ann Arbor tomorrow, and this fact is expected to more. than off-set the individual strength of Maulbetch, the Michigan idol. The Cornell root- ers are placing their confidence in Barrett, and if the Maize and Blue men prove victorious on Saturday,they will have to show a better brand of ball, than they have displayed yet this year. With all of the regulars, but one, in the best possible condition, the Cor- nell coaches will have no excuse to offer in the case of a defeat, although the contest with the Wolverines is not considered of so much importance as the battle with the Quakers, that is to wind up the season for the Ithaca eleven. FACULTY TO ENTERTAIN MANY FOREIGN STUDENTS TOMORROW Flags of many lands will bedeck Barbour gym tomorrow evening for the reception, to be given to foreign students by President Harry B. Hut- chins and the deans of the depart- ments. It is the wish of the authori- ties that the affair be informal. Arrangements have been made to conclude the Cornell mass meeting by 8:15 o'clock, in order that the foreign students may attend both meetings. The reception will begin shortly after that time. Columbia To Witness Football Scrap! Columbia is agog, for on Thanks- giving day the students of this uni- versity will see the first football game played there in nine years. Since the abolition of intercollegiate competition, through a mis-under-; standing no class games or inter- fraternity contests have been sched- uled. Just recently it was discovered that such contests were permitted, and on Turkey day the freshmen and+ sophomores are billed to appear against each other. DISTRIBUTE "PEP" SESSIONTICKETS Cornell Mass Meeting Will Probably- Have Congressman Denby as Speaker WOMEN TO DEBATE VOCATIONAL TASKS Positions, Other Than Teaching, Be Discussed in Ann Arbor January 7, 8 and 9 Will "1W" CLUB TO ATTEND IN BODY JUDITH GINSBURG, '15, CHAIRMAN Tickets for the.Cornell mass meet- ing, to be held at 7:30 o'clock tomor- row night in Hill auditorium, will be distributed from 1:00 o'clock to 5:30 o'clock this afternoon and all day to- morrow, in front of the Michigan Un- ion.' The ticket committee, composed of John Leonard, '16L, and W. B. Pal-. mer, '15, declares that positively no one will be admitted to the big as- sembly, except on presentation of tickets. Persons wishing tickets, will be required to show their athletic cou- pon books at the Union. Seats in the balcony will be reserved for women until 4:00 o'clock tomorrow af- ternoon. Speakers for the meeting have not been definitely secured as yet, but the program committee announces that it is practically. certain that Congress- man Edwin Denby, '96L, will talk. On- ly two other men will speak, so that the meeting may be concluded as early as possible. Secretary Wilfred Shaw, of the alumni association, is in possesion of 500 tickets for alumni and faculty men. Plans have been made, to have the returning members of the "M" club attend in a body, as they did at the Pennsylvania mass meeting.' STUDENT COUNCIL TAKES NO ACTION ON SOPH MEDIC CLASS Members of the student council did not take action on the soph medics, at Tuesday's meeting, because they be- lieve that the class will take steps to settle the dispute at a class meeting tomorrow. The council decided that M. S. Col- leton and Helen Hayes have been elected president and vice-president, respectively, of the fresh lit class. The re-election held by the class last week did not give either of these a majority, but the council awarded the office be- cause of pluralities. Riemersnta Badly Burned at His Room John J. Riemersnia, grad, was se- verely burned about the hands, when he attempted to put out a fire in his room at 445 E. University, at 11:00 o'clock yesterday morning. Riemers- nia was taken to the university health service office, where physicians treat- ed the burns. The origin of the fire is doubtful, but it is believed that a cigarette, careless- ly tossed in the waste-basket by his room-mate, was responsible for the blaze. The fire did not damage any of thle furnishings of the room. To arouse the interest of college women in pursuits other than teach- ing, a women's vocational conferenhe will be held in Ann Arbor on January 7, 8 and 9. Judith Ginsburg, '15, is general chairman, with Dean Myra B. Jordan, Dr. Elsie S. Pratt, Mrs. Ar- thur G. Hall and Jane Cochran the fac- ulty members of her committee. Helen Bennett, of the Chicago branch of the Collegiate Bureau of Occupation, will open the conference.. 'Experts in various fields are being corresponded with, but a definite list of speakers has not yet been arranged. Women from the Michigan State Normal college, at Ypsilanti, have been invited to attend, and invitations will be sent to representatives of va- rious women's organizations through-' out the state. The vocations to be explained and discussed were determined by a vote, taken among university women. They include social service, library work, secretarial pursuits, civil service, bus- iness administration, actuarial work, home architecture and house econom- ics. Other subjects, which were asked for, will be dealt with in some man- ner. The organization of a university vo- cational bureau is to be considered. A committee, of which Marjorie Dela- van, '15, is chairman, is at present at work on the compilation of a card catalogue of women in the state, who- are engaged in occupations other than teaching, and who will correspond with university women. Helen Brown, '14, isc hairman of a committee, mak- ing out bibliographies on the voca- tious, and collecting information in re- gard to vocational schools. GARGOYLE WILL BURST FORTH ON MORNING OF BIG TUSSLE Spectacles of all varieties, as view- ed by the Gargoyle humorists and art- ists, will greet the crowds, drawn to Ann Arbor for the Cornell game. The magazine will be on sale at the rdgu- lar news stands, bookstores, and on the streets. The issue will be featured by "The Letters of a Substitute Half- back," a humorous tale of the inside dope on Yost, the team, and the Har- Yard game. Art work by Clark Smith, '1A, Allan Honey, '17D, and someone who signs himself "D. T. H.," but whose identity is unknown to the managing editor of the Gargoyle, will feature the coming issue. DEMANDS FOR CORNELL 6-,VE TICKETS SHOW BIG INCREASE Demands for tickets to the Michigan- Cornell football game continue to pour into the athletic association offices, the last three days recording the largest outside demand yet. In the neighbor- hood of 13,000 tickets have been dis- posed of up to the present time. There are still sevetal thousand de- sirable tickets procurable, and the athletic association authorities expect a large rush for them, during the re- mainder of the week.

A Combined and Musical Clubs of Michigan Harvard to Perform January 2 PRESENT CONCERT IN DETROIT Michigan's combined musical clubs will hold a joint concert 'withthe i Harvard clubs in the Board of Com- merce hall in Detroit, on the evening of January 2. Attempts of the mana- gers of the two organizations to ar- range the concert were rendered suc- cessful by the aid of the Detroit alum- ni of the two universities. Harvard's musical organization is planning a tour of the western states during the holidays, and the concert with the Michigan clubs will take place on their return trip. Last year, the Univepsity of California glee club appeared In Hill auditorium for a sim- lar combined concert, and the west- erners were greeted with a capacity house. Relations with the western in- stitution were strengthened by this cooperation, and the same result is expected of the concert planned with the Harvard musicians. While the Cambridge men-are in the west the Michigan clubs are plan- ning to take a trip through the east during the Christmas holidays, the two organizations returning to Detroit in time for the combined concert. De-. tails for the Detroit entertainment have not yet been completed. CORNELL ALUMNI IN CHICAGO PLAN SPECIAL CAR TO GAMEt Chicago alumni association of Cor- nell University is planning a big smo- ker and special car to Ann Ar' or for1 the game on Saturday, while all^ mem- bers who areunable to make the trip will hold a joint smoker for Cornell and Michigan men at Chicago Univer- sity club, where a special wire will bring play-by-play reports from Ferry field. A rally will be held at the Grand Pacific Hotel this noon to rouse en- thusiasm for the big game. The Cor- nell special will leave Chicago late Friday night, and will arrive in Ann Arbor early Saturday morning. Now Weaker Can Score More Heavily1 "New football" has increased the, scoring facilities of the weaker. elevens. This statement is borne out' by a study of the records of the bigt elevens of the country. In the east there is not a single team of any im- portance whatsoever, that has not had its goal line crossed. Twenty-eightt points have been scored against Har-t vard, 29 against Yale, 56 against Princeton, 29 against Cornell, 561 against Pennsylvania, and 25 against Dartmouth. In days gone by, it wasf customary for some of the bigger' elevens to go through an entire season without having a single point scored t against them. JUST AS A LITTLE REMINDER---- Blood is thicker than water, but that's not saying anything about the rivalry occasioned by a game such as was played in the Harvard stadium on the last day of last month. That "the East is East, and West is West and never the twain shall meet" has been said in another connection but that it applies as well to the present inter- collegiate situation is illustrated by a letter received by Dr. Reuben Peter- son, director of the University hospital, and a graduate of Harvard, from his son, Reuben Peterson, Jr., '14, who is studying journalism at Columbia Uni- versity, and who witnessed the Har- vard game, two weeks ago. The letter says: "I don't like to rub it in, but I am handing it to you as I was forced to hand it to other Cambridge men who were convinced that Michigan was destined to be ground to a pulp just because they were playing "Fat-h Ha'- va'd." It was the New York Tribune, which said that the score should have been 14 to 0 in favor of Michigan. I would have given anything to have had you sitting next to me so I could have roasted you and heard you yell as little "Johnny" Maulbetsch crump- led that much' touted line like paper. What will stand out in my memory of that game longer °than anything else is the surprised and rather hurt ex- pression that came over the faces of the eastern rooters and players as they watched the Harvard team go back--back-back before just one man. - "We gained 200 yards to their 150; we made 10 first downs to their seven;, our old friend John Maulbetsch gained more ground than the three Harvard backs put together and finally we ac- tually outcheered your, Alma Mater. If you really didn't want to come be- cause you didn't want to see Michigan snowed under, you made the biggst mistake of your life." H L. NUTTING Manager of the Comedy Club, who will .sing tonight. few will be reserod to sell at the auditorium in the evening just be- fore the concert. They will be on sale all afternoon at the auditorium. A "new feature in the program will be some impersonations by Harold L. Nutting, '15L, manager of the Comedy club. Among these are "The Country Cousin," "Danny," and "A Liztown Humorist. The doors are to be opened at 7:00 o'clock this evening to a crow?. which the management calculates will be about 4,000. BOAT CLUB STARTS WORK OF CLEANING HURON BED Ruins of Dam Near Old Jii. to Be Dynamited by Low ring - Water Below IDam Work at cleaning up the Huron riv- er, between Barton darn and..Tessmer's boathouse, was begun yesterday 'by workmen, employed by the Michigan Union boat club.
