INCREASED INTEREST SHOWN
IN CROSS-COUNTRY RUNNING
Eighty-Five Candidates Turn Out For
First Meeting of Year Held
in Trophy Room
Interest in cross-country running
has increased wonderfully during the
past year, if tht enthusiasm displayed
at' the first, meeting Tuesday evening
in the trophy room of the gymnasium
can be taken as a criterion. Eighty-
five candidates turned out to hear of
the plans for the present season.
Trainer Farrell, Intramural Direc-
tor Rowe,,Dr. May, and Captain Trelfa
spoke. Farrell impressed the aspir-
ants with the information that if the
showing of the squad warranted, a'
team would be sent to the intercollegi-
Cupid Driven from Feich Park by
City's Cruel Vice Commissioners
Cupid has been given the knockout
wallop. He has been driven from his
Elysian fields and forced to hie his
way to the wind swept boulevards. In
the good old days, he took advantage
of the protecting darkness in and
about Felch Park, and many were the
pointed barbs that he planted in the
unprotected hearts of the couples that
held down the benches in that Eden of
Ann Arbor.
It has been rumored that the record
for this park for fall and summer en-
gagements has been approached only
by that of the island, and the babbling
waters must be taken into considera-
tion when one gazes at the diamond
ring record of the insular refuge of
lovers.
And now Felch Park, the Felch Park
of old is no more. For in the middle
of the darkest and coziest spot in the
confines of the place, the first verse
of Genesis was carried out. A trium-
virate consisting .of the faculty, the
E. M. E. and the city fathers has erect-
ed a high powered Tungsten light on
a twentyy foot concrete post, and its
radiance is more than refreshing.
It is disgusting. Being no prophet,
we cannot hazard the life of the lamp,
or the post on which it is fastened.
But a good guess will place the time
limit at two weeks.

Freshmen Falling Is Flat Feet
Flat feet seems to be the most
prominent defect found by Dr.
Geo. A. May in his physical ex-
amination of freshmen. In most
cases the new men admit the.
wearing of rubber soles and;
heels which has been popular
since the tango was first intro-
duced. Rubber bottoms allow
the instep to give way, claims
Dr. May, and as a result the
wearers of these shoes Invari-
ably sustain floggy, fiat feet

ughitt made the other two on goals
om touchdowns while he was in dur-
g the first half. "Larry" Splawn's
cking was the offensive feature, the
exan drop kicking goals from the 29
d 30 yard lines. On another attempt]
e recovered the ball when the Michi-
n line failed to hold, and his trial
as blocked. Splawn also scored a
uchdown, and kicked the other goal
om touchdown.
Maulbetsch, in addition to scoring
ro touchdowns, showed a marked im-
-ovement in defensive work. He also
ayed a prominent part, along with
aptain Raynsford, in grabbing off
ray passes from the visitors. Catlett
id Hughitt were the other two best
ound gainers, but neither of the vet-
ans managed to get away for as long
.ins as the youngsters.
On defense the line fought hard, but
as up against a combination which
is its equal man for man. Michi-
mn could not gain through the line
nsistently, 'despite Hughitt's insist-
.ce on trying plays there. Such tac-
s inevitably resulted in calling on
lawn for a punt. End runs were the
st ground gainers for the Varsity,
in the two previous games.
Michigan got started early, after
>unt Union failed to gain. Roehm
turned the punt well, and Reimann
en gave Michigan a scoring oppor-
nity by recovering Geltz' fumble of
dlawn's punt. on the 15 yard line.
tree line attacks netted but five
rds, and Splawn drop kicked a per-
et field goal from the 29 yard line.

ie later in the quarter. Maulbetsch
rried the ball to the one yard line
ound Lyons, after two line plays had
iled. "Mauley" went across on the
st plunge, and Hughitt goaled. j
In the second period Splawn tore
)se for 25 yards to start things, and
>ehm got 10 more. Hughitt and Maul-+
tsch carried it to the one yard line,
The first workout was held yester-
day and today the larger number of
those who have signified their inten-
tions of running will be out. The squad
will leave the gymnasium every after-
noon at 4:15 o'clock and those trying
out must be there on time.

plated securing professional tutorage
for the cast in addition to the faculty
manager.

DIEIlIt DYNAMOMETER TO BE
USED IN AUTO10BILE TESTS
During the summer the automobile
laboratory made a complete installa-
tion of a. Diehl electric dynamometer
for testing automobile motors, which
has the greatest speed range of any
in the country.
At present the laboratory is setting
up a new Reo motor, presented last
spring, for exhaustive tests on horse-
power output, cooling, and fuel econ-
omy. The Diehl equipment will be
used in the regular automobile testing
work in M. E. 32, as well as in the

lecture course, eight in the regular,
laboratory testing course, and two in
the automobile research course.

RHODES SCHOLARS WILL BE
CHOSEN UNDER NEW SYSTEM
Alterations in the administration of
the scholarship system"at Oxford Uni-
versity have compelled the trustees to
change the method of selecting Rhodes
scholars throughout the United States.
In the past, scholars have been elect-
ed from all of the states for two suc-
cessive years, while in the third year
none were chosen.
According to the new .arrangements,
the elections will be spread over three
years, and the scholars will be se-
lected from 32 states each year. For

FRESHIDEN GIVEN SHORT DRILL
Yearlings Are Prepared for Ypsilanti
Game on Saturday
Freshman Coach Douglas gave his
candidates an easy workout yesterday
before the Varsity-Mt. Union game.
A strenuous session of blocking and
tackling was followed by a short sig-
nal drill, after which the yearlings
were allowed to view the Mt. Union
game.'
All of the freshmen came through
the brush with the scrubs in fine
shape, and are ready for the first game
with the Ypsilanti Normal team on
Saturday. Douglas was pleased with
the work of his charges and looks for
a good game this week. The backfield,
in particular, is playing wonderful
ball and should run up a good score
on the Normalites, if the line plays
up to its early season form.
MAZDA'S RAYS FAIL SMOKERS;
HAVOC REIGNS IN DARKNESS.
Havoc reigned in peace at the Mich-
igan Union last night when Sol Maz-
da's electric stare died out, and caus-
ed agitated officials to produce candles
for illumination.'
The fact that some 150 men were
gathered in the lobby to partake in
the smnoc preparatory to launching
the man-to-man membership campaign
did not lessen the confusion, either.
Some said the trouble was in the
transformer, . others that something
was wrong with the fuse, but the in-
formation given out by the electric
light company was as subtle as recent
dispatches from Paris, while retain-
ing all the confidence of those from
Petrograd.
Pipes and cigarettes scintillated in
the darkness, people punched' you in
the back-purposely; from the piano
in the parlor came a sour sound, "Ti-a-
da-dum-dum," but the crowd was good
natured, as might be expected of any
Union crowd. - l
"BOOZE" WILL BE SUBJECT OF .
"Y" MEETING SUNDAY NIGHT
Dr. H. H. Cummings, of the univer-
sity health service, will talk on
"Booze" at the second of the univeri-
ty "Y" Sunday night meetings in the
Majestic theater next Sunday night at
6:30 o'clock. Preceding Dr. COm-
mings talk, moving pictures will be
shown, beginning at 6:10 o'clock.
* A chorus, composed entirely of men
students, will lead the singing. There
will be no tickets used at this meeting,
but inasmuch as the meetings are
planned to be finished before 7:30
o'clock, it will be necessary to begin
them promptly.
Dr. Barrett to Speak in Grand Rapids
Dr. A. M. Barrett of the homeopath-
is hospital, will deliver an address to
the Michigan State Conference of
Charities and Correction to be held in
Grand Rapids, October 28 to 30. Dr.
