Huge sprir tUrs were by all yes-
terlay aftenoon thorcumly soaking
Ferry Fiel', se 2a Coach Yost can
provide a. r,.ular scrimrme for his
Varsity tody.
Old Juije P u':ius has been inactive
so lon; that the coach has become
thoroughly coviced that even the
elenents have conspired against the
Michigan football eleven. Ferry Field
has become as hard as rock, and some
of the poolr fellows who have been
compelled to scrinnage there the
past few weeks suggested to the
coach that he shift operations to State
street where there's nothing but nice
sofe bricks to fall upon. However, the
groundkeeper has come to the rescue
and following yesterday's artificial de-
luge, the big field will be in fair con-
dition again.
The coach held a near scrimmage
yesterday over on the baseball dia-
mond with the Varsity regulars and
subs playing against each other. No
track was kept of downs or touch-
downs. The teams knew each other's
signals, in fact were using the same
identical code, so that gaining was
rather difficult. There was no one
around and the coach had the men
run through some of the new stuff
that he has figured out for Cornell's
benefit.
One of the biggest- surprises of the
day was the announcement that Nor-
ton would start in Reimann's tackle,
with Reimann going in at guard. Rei-
mann isn't in the best of condition,
and the coach flgures that he will
probably be able to stand it better at
guard. Another announcement which
comes as somewhat of a surprise is
the fact that Dunne may start at end
in place of Staatz. Staatz is still ex-
periencing some difficulty with his in-
jured leg, although he may be in
shape to start by Saturday. At pres-
ent, however, it looks as though
"Morrie" will receive the call.
Smith, Bastian and Benton were
busy for a considerable period of
time practicing place kicks. Coach
Yost figures that if his men find the
Cornell line too strong, one of these
boys ought to be able to lift one be-
tween the bars. Benton did so earlier
in the season, scoring from the 38-
yard line, and if the Big Red forward
wall succeeds in stopping the line
plunges of "Maulie" and "Pat" Smith,
coupled with Catlett's end runs, this
method of scoring will be resorted to.
Today's serimnmage will probably
mark the final workout of this char-
acter before the big contest Saturday.
Soccer Voys Come
From Nany Lands
Universality is often said to be one
of the chief characteristics of the Uni-
versity of Michigan. Any man from
anywhere can come here and become
active in any branch of campus activ-
itics either in athletics or otherwise,
and whether he makes good or not de-
pends entirely on his own ability.
This seems to be especially true of
the Varsity soccer team. Of the whole
personnel of the team at the present
writing, only one man is American.
This sounds queer, to say the least,
but it is true just the same, and this
ole representative of the United States
-name of Otis-needs support. To
give an idea of the cosmopolitan
makeup of the team, there are men
from Canada, China, Greece, Turkey,
Armenia and Hawaii out for this sport.
Domboorajian, one of last year's reg-
ulars, is back doing good work. Among
other foreign stars, Hussein Feizy, of
Constantinople, Turkey, has had expe-
rience in soccer in his native city, and
promises to be a valuable addition to
the squad. Siji C. Hung, of Shanghai,
China, also shows signs of landing a
regular berth on the team. C. Tripo-
litis, veteran of former years, is back
again this season to help Michigan's
soccer team to trounce all comers.
There are other valuable men out
practicing every day and all of them
come from foreign countries. How-
ever, there will be other Americans to
come out in the near future, as there
are several men in the university who
have had experience. J. Bates, cap-
tain of his prep school soccer team,
will probably don a suit today with
one of his old teammates, thus making
the total of American students out for
the team rise to just three.
CROSS COUNTRY MEN PREPARING
FOR M. A. C. MEET AT LANSING
Length of Race Not Yet Determined;
Team Leaves Tomorrow
Afternoon
With the M. A. C. race but a few
days off the cross country team is
putting in strenuous efforts to get in
the best condition for that meet. Defi-
nite information has not been received
from Lansing as to the length of the
race but it is expected that the dis-
tance will be one familiar to the Var-
sity and they can be expected to give
a good account of themselves.
The team will probably be com-
posed of the nine regulars and three
or fourafreshmen. Thismeet will be
particularly important from th fact
that the showing of the men will help
to determine the make-up of the team
to be sent to the Eastern Intercol-
legiates, if such a team is sent.
The men will leave tomorrow after-
noon and the race will be on Satur-
day morning, giving ample time for
the squad to return and see the Cor-
nell game.
Prowler Scares Elizabeth Street
A man was seen prowling about
homes on Elizabeth street last even-
ing. The police were notified about
10:00 o'clock but the disturber made
good his getaway before the officers
arrived.

MICHIGAN FINISHES AT BOTTOM
Washington, D. C., Nov. 3.-(Spe-
cial.)-Official reports have been is-,
sued by the National Rifle Association
of America, including the final stand-
ing of the teams in the annual inter-
collegiate outdoor championship. With;
a score of 838 the team representing1
the Massachusetts Institute of Tech-;
nology won first place over 13 other
entrants. The University of Michigan .
team was last with a score of 667. 1
Because of the fact that the United
States Naval academy team shot on
the wrong target, the match was de-
layed until a re-shooting which tookI
place after the assembling of the falli
term. When the final scores were allI
in the navy checked into fifth place1
with a score of 811.
The match was shot with 10 shotsd
from 200 yards at rapid fire, 10 shotsI
from 300 yards kneeling, and 10 shotsI
from 500 yards prone. The rapid-fire1
shots were taken from a kneeling po-I
sition which was assumed from aI
standing position, and the time limitf
on each of the rapid-fire shots was one
and a half minutes. No sighting shotsI
were allowed from the rapid-fire tar-
gets, but two were permitted for slow
fire.
The State of Massachusetts was well
represented by the institutions whichl
were entered from there, her teams"
taking both first and second places.
The Massachusetts Aggies pushed Bos-
ton Tech with a score of 830, whicht
was only eight opoints below that ofI
the winner.I
Eight of the entries shot a score of
800 or above, Cornell just qualifyingI
among this number with an 800. The .
Kansas team, which Michigan defeat-t
ed in the Class C competition indoors,f
beat out Cornell by two points, finish-
ing a tie for sixth in the final score
with an 802 total.
The championship trophy is held for
one year by the institution represent-
ed by the winning team, or, if no com-
petition is held the next year, it is
held until the next match. The tro-
phy becomes the property of the insti-
tution winning it the most number of
times in 16 years. To the winning
team silver medals are given for the
individual members, while the mem-
bers of the team finishing second re-
ceive bronze medals.
The record of the trophy follows:
1905, Princeton university; 1906,
George Washington university; 1907,
no competition; 1908, 1909, George
Washington university; 1910, 1911
Massachusetts Agricultural college;
1912, Harvard college; 1913, 1914, Mas-
sachusetts Agricultural college; 1915,

"Tom" Shedlin Expected at Yale
New Haven, Conn., Nov. 3.-"Tom"
Shevlin, star end several years ago,
and always the last resource for Yale
teams, is expected here tomorrow to
aid Coach Hinkey with getting the
team in shape for the coming game.
It was rumored that Shevlin was to
succeed Ilinkey as head coach. This
has been emphatically denied. Shevlin
is coming to help Hinkey out, not to
displace him.

Contest
BIG GAINS FEATURE
One walk-away and a
LAW GAUME
tie were the
results of the two games played in the
interclass football series yesterday
afternoon, the junior laws beating the
freshmen of that school by a 26-0
score, while the dents and the fresh
medics played four quarters to a
scoreless tie.
A drawn conflict was waged between
the dents and the fresh medics, waged
being the proper word to use in this
connection. Both teams were deter-
mined to win and fought hard the
whole route. Both teams had a strong
backfield, the medics having the edge
in this department through the stel-
lar work of Hyde, who played right
half, changing to right end on defense.
Hyde's speed made him a dangerous
open field runner, and his line plung-
ing netted most of the gains for the
pill rollers. The medics used a fake
line play that was particularly effec-
tive and which the dent line seemed
powerless to stop, the secondary de-
fense nearly always nailing the runner.
Killean at full played a fast, hard
game. The dent backs were handi-
capped by the weakness of their line,
and as a consequence could do little
with the ball through straight football,
and had to fall back on punting and
1;assing, which latter method secured
lots of ground.
The dents had a Gideon Smith in
Simnions, who did the kicking for his
team as well as part of the passing.
His work on defense was a great ad-
vantage to the dents. A field goal was
attempted by the crown men, Simmons
kicking, but the colored boy had to
cover too much distance. Lack of prac-
tice handicapped the dents, who were
forced to play a defensive game. Had
it not been for the many fumbles by
the meodics they would probably have
sc oed, as they were near their oppo-
nents' goal line severaltimes.
The officials for the game were as
follows: Armstrong, referee; Bow-
man, timekeeper; Brainard, head lines-
man. Final score: Fresh medics, 0;
d:ents, 0.gTimefofquarters, 8 minutes.
In a game full of fight and hard
playing, the junior laws defeated the
fresh laws yesterday by the score of
26-0. The game was not so one-sided
as the score might seem to indicate,
for the first-year men disputed every
foot of ground, and if it had not been
for several brilliant plays, which in-
cluded a couple of long runs and a set
f trick formations, the final count
would have been nearly evenly bal-
anced.
Pierce, the giant fullback, put up a
rare exhibition for the winners and
starred in line-plunging, breaking
away for gains of 30 and 40 yards re-
peatedly. He scored three touch-
downs and kicked two goals. Brown,
at right half for the juniors, played a
brilliant game, amazing the sidelines
with bursts of phenomenal speed when
lie took the ball and skirted the ends
for long gains. Cameron at right half
smashed thorugh the line on one oc-
casion, and in a pretty piece of open
field running carried the ball 45 yards
for a touchdown. The sophs were the
heavier team, outweighing their oppo-
nents several pounds to the man.
Fumbles were numerous, and both
sides were repeatedly p-enalized for be-
ing offside.
The officials for the game were as
follows: James, referee; Williams,
timekeeper; Mack, head linesman.
Final score: Junior laws, 26; fresh
laws, 0. Time of quarters, 8 minutes.
The schedule of games is given be-
low:
Today, at 4:05 o'clock: Fresh lits
vs. soph lits; junior lits vs. senior lits.
Saturday, November 6, at 10:00 o'clock:
Senior engineers vs. soph engineers;

FOLLOWING THE YOST-MEN
Now that the field has been carefully
sprinkled, it'll probably rain for a
week.
Cornell threatens to have a band on
Ferry field next Saturday. This is
entirely a personal matter and optional
with Cornell, but how some people
must love to be shown up!
Athletic association authorities
again request that students whose
tickets place them in the block "M"
will please report and receive their
flag. Michigan wants a good-looking
letter this year, and the block "M"
always makes a big hit with visitors
and the alumni.
The Michigan student who said that
he wasn't going to sit in the cheering
section this year because he didn't like
to yell so much ought to stay at home
and have a sporting extra sent around.
Then he could save all the exertion of
walking all the way down to the field
and clear back again.
Coach Sharpe is giving his team
three hard days of scrimmage this
week. We don't wish Cornell any
hard luck or anything like that, but
if Barrett and Shiverick and 10 or 12
others could only manage to twist
their ankles-well, the situation would
be greatly simplified.
A local store which dispenses soft
drinks, and which is favored by uni-
versity women, advertises a "Pat Full"
sundae. Just about the only way that
this Smith person can find his way
back into our good graces, following
that social error of his in refusing to
speak to us the other day, is to let us
look over one of these dishes at short
range.
