LAS MEET DENTS
,FOR PUS TITLE
Bill Decisive Contest for Inter-Class
Championship Between Two
Close Contenders
LITS AND BOILERMAKERS DRAW
When the senior laws "meet the
dents in the finals of the class foot-
ball series at 9:30 o'clock on south
Ferry Field this morning the resting
place of the campus championship for
the 1315 season will be decided.
These two teams will receive their
numerals, while the two remaining
sets will be given to the two best,
teams of the three remaining, the
senior lits, the senior engineers and
the soph lits.
In the semi-finals between the se-
nior lits and the senior engineers in
the race for numerals, the game re-
sulted in a tie score, 0-0. During
the first part of the game the engi-
neers seemed to have an edge on the
lits, but toward the end of the game
the latter came through in fine style,
and could have slipped a touchdown
across if there had been a few min-
utes more of play.
The engineers made most of their
gains on straight football, few for-
ward passes being used on account
of the sleet that made the slippery
ball difficult to handle. In plays
around the ends they also showed up
well, and .got away with a lot of
ground on clever formations and de-
layed passes. Fumbles and inability
to keep their clutches on the pigskin
resulted in losses, and ragged play-
ing for both sides during the whole
game. On account of the soft con-
dition of the field, most of the tackles
were wild, and when a man was able
to get a start, he usually carried the
ball for some distance.
The engineers, although they seem-
ed to have the heavier line, played a
weak game on offense, and the lits
repeatedly broke through and got the
back before he was under way. In
the second half the lits got the ball,
and using Martens and Brandell on
plays around the ends, brought it up
within striking distance of the engi-
neer's goal, where they lost it on a
fumble. The engineers were unable
to make their downs, and punted to
the lits' 30-yard line. The lits ad-
vanced it to the middle of the field
where they were held by the engi-
neers, and were forced to punt, set-
ting the ball back to the 20-yard line.
On the first down the engineers boot-
ed the ball to the middle of the field,
but Brandell in a pretty piece of open
field running brought it back to the
25-yard line. With only a half min-
ute of play left, the lits attempted a
place kick from the field, but the
ball was so slippery that it was
fozzled and went all wrong.
Throughout the whole last half
the lits had it on the engineers, and
seemed to show a return to their
old-time form. Brandell and Martens
te, featured the game in their splendid
plays through the line and around
the ends. The lits attempted several
forward passes, but only a couple of
them succeeded, and then only for
slight gains. The result of the game
musses up the whole schedule, which
was to be finished by today, so that
now the games will run into the lat-
ter part of next week.
The laws have planned an elabo-
rate scheme of demonstration for the
event of their presumed victory over
the dents today. This morning be-
fo.re the game all the supporters of
the lawyers will assemble in front
of the law building. Here they will
be rmet by a "misfit" band organized
especially for the occasion, nVd
headed by the musicians, they will
march in a body to Ferry Field, sing-
ing a mixture of martial and legal
strains. A large body of the young
advocates are expected out to cheer
their team to victory. The laws have

been practising a number of new
trick plays, and they promise some
big surprises when they go in for
gore this morning.
Monday the senior lits and the se-
nior engineers will probably play off
their tie, and on either Tuesday or
Wednesday, the soph lits will meet
the losers in the final fight for their
numerals. There is strong dope to
the effect that the seniors and the
scphs in the literary division are the
best bets for their numerals in the
final games, unless the engineers
show better form than in yesterday's
game.
Indoor Baseball
Managers Gather
Eight Classes Send Representatives to
Initial Gathering of Leaders
of Teams
Michigan's Intramural system has
added a new link to its chain of activi-
ties. At a meeting of class indoor
baseball managers yesterday afternoon
it was decided to install a league for
that sport.
Eight classes were represented at
the meeting, and sufficient interest
was assured by this trnout to guar-
antee the success of the venture.
With eight classes behind the move-
ment at its inception it is likely that
several more will join in after the
league is under way, and with this
idea in mind the committee is making
plans for the organization of a playing
body.
The gymnasium is to be the scene
of the indoor baseball contests, and
next Tuesday night will see the open-
ing of activities in the league, -this
evening having been set aside as the
first day of practice for the teams.
With many teams in the league, it will
be necessary to make a schedule for
practice so that all the teams may get
in some preliminary licks before the
season begins.
Although it was felt that sufficient
interest .was shown by the classes to
warrant the adopting of the plan, it
will be necessary, in order to make
the league an entire success, to have
some of the other classes come in.
Those class presidents who have not
yet made the appointment of the in-
door baseball manager are requested
to do so immediately, so that the mak-
ing of the schedule may be taken up
in the near future.
The new sport will serve a new pur-
pose on the Michigan campus,itabeing
open only to those men who have not
taken part in the class football series
and who do not intend to take part in'
the class basketball series. By this
machination two objects will be accom-
plished. The sport will be taken out
of the hands of the group in the class
which dominates the existing class
sports, and it will result in drawing
into class athletics that portion of the
student body which usually fails to go
out for other class teams because of
the fact that- the competition is too
severe.
"M" CLUB BANQUETS PREP TEAMS
Detroit and Local High School
Squads Dine at Union
Michigan's "M" club will entertain
the members of the Detroit Central
and the Ann Arbor high school foot-
ball teams at a dinner at the Michi-
gan Union at 5:30 o'clock today, fol-
lowing the game between the two
teams on Ferry Field this afternoon
for the state scholastic championship.
The entertainment at tonight's din-
ner will consist of talks by members
of the alumni, faculty and student
body, represented by the 1915 foot-
ball team. Throughout the meal an
orchestrawill furnish music for the
delectation of the prep school ath-
letes.
The Detroit team arrives in Ann
Arbor this morning, and leaves for
Detroit again tonight, it being neces-
sary for the lads to keep in shape
for their Turkey Day game with Oak
Park of Chicago.
If there is one thing on earth which
we would rather do than anything else
on earth, it is to get you there when
you are in a hurry. Stark, 2255.

HIGH SCHOOL TEAMS TO
CLASH FOR STATE TITLE
Dope Seems to Favor Detroit Although
Ann Arbor Gridders Appear
Confident of Victory
Ann Arbor high school's eleven is
scheduled to meet Detroit Central on
Ferry Field at 2:00 o'clock today, in
the championship game of the state
of Michigan,
Although the dope seems to favor the
Detroit team, the local aggregation is
confident and expects to send their
opponents back home with only the
second ribbon to show for their pains.
It would appear on the surface that
the Ann Arbor team is a little green
and that Central's representation has
the odds in weight and experience, but
if spirit and hard work count for much
the advantage should not be so one
sided.
This will be the eighth game between
the two teams, on six of these occa-
sions Central having won. Central is
depending'on teamwork and general-
ship to take Saturday's game. Hen-
drian, at quarter for Detroit's machine
is expected to engineer his team to vic-
tory on the strength of his work this
season..
Of Coach Kennedy's squad, Osborne
at guard, Hicks at right half, and La
at the other half, are the stars. These
boys are touted as all-state material
and have thus far had things entire-
ly their own way in every game. Coach
Kennedy says his, proteges will give
all they have in the coming battle and
will at least give Central the hardest
fight of the season, although he ex-
pects his charges to win.
It seems that Lau of the local high
school aggregation and his brother
who is an All-Washington state half
will probably attend Michigan next
fall. The western star is about 180
pounds of fight, said fight running in
the family. The pair should put in a
strong bid for positions on next's year
All-Fresh team.
Admission to the game will be fifty
cents.. Athletic coupons are not good
for entrance as the field has been
rented to the high school for the game.
A strong body of rooters will be out
to cheer for the Ann Arbor boys, and
it is expected that a large number of
university students will be on hand.

MAT MEN WANT TO ENTERf
INTERCOLLEGIATE CLASS
A. E. Amtsbeuchler, '16, Heads Move-
ment to Organize Devotees of
Wrestling Game
There is now a movement on fot
among devotees of wrestling to make
it a major- sport at Michigan. Anthony
E. Amtsbeuchler, '16, is giving every
spare moment of his time to getting
together the men interested in the
game and organizing them into a
homogeneous body. If he can obtain
the sanction v2 the athletic authorities,
Michigan will have a team that will
take part in intercollegiate matches.
Last year the most a man could get
out of competition in wrestling was a
cup and class numerals. This season
it may be possible to win a Varsity
letter for excellence in the sport.
Quite a few students have taken a
keen interest in wrestling so far this
year and are diligently practicing so
as to be in condition for the annual
matches. The devotees of the sport
are under the instruction of- Mr. 0. S.
Westerman, and at the rate at which
they are picking up the finer points
of the game should be able to stage
some excelelnt bouts later in the year.
As usual the squad will elect a cap-
tain and a wrestling team will be
formed. Robert W. Watson, last year's
captain, will in all probability be seen
on the mat this season, and with his
football trainng should be n fine shape.
It is expected that he will make a
strong bid for the honor of heavy-
weight champion, the ?position now
held by Lewis C. Reimann by virtue
of his victory last year. Amtsbeuch-
ler, the present middle-weight cham-
pion, is out rounding into form, and
unless some dark horse is developed
by Mr. Westerman, should successfully
defend his title this season.
Mr. Westerman is taking great in-
terest in the squad and intends to im-
prove the manner in which the matches
are conducted. He is not in favor of
thirty-minute bouts, claiming thatethey
are too strenuous for any amateur, and
is going to try to install a system of
six-minute bouts with a three-minute
interval of rest in case of no fall in
that time.
Dr. George A. May, director of the
Waterman gymnasium, announced that
cups would be given to the winners
n the different classes the same as last!
year.
Track Captain Interviews Aspirants
Captian "Hal" Smith is busy inter-
viewing promising track candidates
and getting into shape some sort of a
schedule for indoor track work. This
will begin one week from Monday. Al-
though the gym may be used any time
between classes for track practice,
regular schedules for work will prob-
ably be arranged for the candidates.

THE DAILY SPORTOSCOPE
Cambridge, Mass., Nov. 19.
Dear Friend:
As you may without a doubt have
inagined, we at Cambridge are in a
perfect furor of excitement over the
approaching struggle for the gridiron
supremacy of the east, which is to
take place between our eleven, repre-
senting Harvard university, and that
team, which judges competent to say,
have intimated may be our cause for
downfall. I mean the reinvigorated
and rejuvenated representatives of the
institution of higher learning situated
at New Haven.
The conflict will take place tomor-
row afternoon, and we are, heedless
to say, eagerly anticipating its ap-
proach. Our upright natures rebel
against anything in the line of ath-
letic endeavor that may be in the
least underhanded or contrary to the
most strict interpretation of the rules,
and as a consequence of this, our
eager desire for the most sportsman-
like conduct, it is possible that our
captain, Mr. Mahan, and another of
one of our very best football players,
Mr. Enwright will be forced to retire
from the pastime.
An accusation has been put forth
against these young gentlemen to the
effect that they have, for the sake of
such a degrading thing as pecuniary
gain, devoted a certain period of their
existence to the training of the youth
of our glorious commonwealth in
things athletic. If, as those who for-
warded these serious accusations
affirm, the charges have a degree of
veracity behind them, I should re-
mark, as fellow to fellow, that the4
eleven representing fair Harvard,
must perform its functions tomorrow
without the presence of these most
capable gentlemen. Presuming, of
course, that the veracity of the tend-
ered charges is able to be established
prior to the opening of the much an-
ticipated, and now slightly feared,
contest with the eleven 'gentlemen
from the New Haven college.
I say, my dear Harold, in my over-
whelming interest in our own ath
letic endeavors on the morrow, I
have been completely swept away,
and to my chagrin, I find that I have
as yet made no mention to you of the
arrival of your cross country (I be-
lieve you call it team). In accordance
with the approved style I suppose I
should say: "Michigan's sextette of
distance runners arrived at Franklin
today," and should continue in that
vein. It is impossible for me to do
that, but I can tell you what really
happened to me as I went out to
Franklin to meet the lads with your
letter of introduction.
Six very nice boys who are en-
rolled in the University of Michigan
were there in an almost Adamite sar-
torial condition, in fact ycur friends
were all prepared to go forth over
the Massachusetts hills. I was so
shocked at first that I could hardly
appreciate their real merit, but on
overcoming my embarrassment, I, in
accordance with our ctistom, invited
the gentlemen out for a cup of tea
after they should have completed their
day's work. They one and all re-
fused, Mr. Walters asserting that
drinking .was not a Michigan man's
function. For this reason I venture
to predice that if the men represent-
ing Michigan do not bear away the
highest honors in tomorrow's trial of
skill and endurance, they will at least
on account of their superior condi-
tion, be foremost among those who
press close on the heels of victory.
As the Latin poet has said, "Ave
atque vale," that is, good-bye for to-
day, but how-do-you-do for the mor-
row, I shall write you soon.
Affectionately,
RAMSDELL DeV. CHICHESTER.
