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.

Captain Trelfa told the candidates , that the athletic authorities had con- be sented to award the "certificates of merit" to those who work hard all sea- son and do not win their "c-c-c's." mtly in tl chigan's d breaking i id Splawn scoring 25 of the 27 points. 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. A. forward pass, Splawn to Staatz, ye Michigan the ball on the ten yard 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.

' 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 .
