LARGE LIST OF CANDIDATES
SHOWING UP FORl PRACTICE
J-ENGINEERS AND SCRUB TEAM
MIX THINGS IN LAST NIGHT'S
SESSION
According to intramural Director
Rowe there will be an indoor base-
ball leagle this winter. Enough teams
have been, or are being, organized to
warrant its existence and practice is
being held every Tuesday, Thursday,
and Saturday nights at 7:00 o'clock
in Waterman gymnasium.
It now remains for the individual
members of the classes to get out and
work to make the new activity a suc-
cess. The purpose of the latest sport
is to provide an activity for those
men who are not qualified to enter
other interclass sports, whatever their
reason for not being able to turn
out for class football, tennis, basket-
ball or baseball may be. Indoor base-
ball will tide over the period between
the football and outdoor baseball sea-
sons until basketball and class track
are started. It is another opening
for men who are too light for the
more strenuous branches of class ath-
letics. For these reasons, the intra-
mural authorities have decided tQ put
the indoor sport on a firm basis.
Practice was held last night in
Waterman gym. A nine inning game
was staged between the J-engineers
and a scrub team. Although it was
the first time out for the engineers,
they had a full team in gym suits or
otherwise as the occasion warranted
and the old engineering pep was in
evidence. The other team was hand-
picked from those who did not have
a sufficient number of classmates out
to guarantee any independence.
Batteries for the engineers were
Manager Digman and Sevin and for
the scrubs, Des Jardins and Trelfa.
Both pitchers seemed hard to touch,
but there was much exercising and
swinging of bats, which is another
argument for the success of the league
-that is-exercise. Scores were us-
ually the result of fumbling, due to
lack of practice. Both teams had a
man cross the plate in the early
part of the game.
Among the coming stars of the in-
door diamond, Trelfa -of the Cross
Country squad still shows form in
running the bases, and has a habit of
hanging on to every ball that comes
behind the plate. Des Jardins has speed
to burn and bids fair to develop into
the indoor Sisler of Michigan. His
slow ball seemed to cause trouble for
the engineers and his twisters rarely
connected with the big stick. Cor-
bin, the hurdler of last year's Var-
sity track squad will be out for the
next practice on Tuesday, and is the
star twirler for the J-engineers. Col-
lins, a former class baseball man is
also expected to don rubber soled
shoes next week. Digmanof the same
team was far from being easy for the
scrubs last night, and fielded his po-
sition a la Brandell.
imets are up to keep the ball withi.
bounds and mats are pised for bases.
The lights are dim for the batters, but
will be multiplied before the regular
games start. The schedule will not
be made out for another week at least.
In the meantime all men who are ex-
gecting to come out are urged to do so
as soon as possible.

SE SON FIISHED
BY AMY ANDNY
With the playing of the annual serv-
ice game between West Point and An-
napolis yesterday, the 1915 football
season was given its leave and al-
lowed to pass into the beyond. The
year was not a brilliant one by any
means, especially when one looks
through the eyes of the Michigan un-
dergraduate. There is no need to
rehash the tale of woe connected with
the Wolverine season.
Several post-season struggles re-
main to be decided, notably the ones
on the Pacific coast between Syra-
cue and the Oregon Aggies, and be-
tween Brown and the University of
California. These will give a further
insight into the style of ball played
by the coast teams, Michigan heard
considerable about that type when
Coach Stewart's Aggies trimmed the
Michigan Farmers decisively. And
these men are not the best on the
coast by any means. Gilmour Dobie's
University of Washington eleven is
said to be able to trounce the best of
the Eastern teams.
There will probably be some dis-
cussion as to just what team is best
suited for that title, "Best in the east."
Undoubtedly the struggle lies be-
tween Cornell, Pittsburg and Harvard.
,Harvard's claim comes with the rep-
resentation that the men of Haughton
were in a slump when they were beat-
en by Cornell, 10-0. But inasmuch as
they were defeated, they should be
ruled out of the race. Syracuse would
have to be considered, if it were not
for that 3-0 whipping at the hands of
Princeton.
That reduces the number to two, the
teams coached by Sharpe and. Warner.
It is a matter of personal opinion as
to which of these teams is the better.
If the former Carlisle coach has pro-
duced a team that can whip Barrett's
team, Michigan will take its hat ofr
to him. But it will take a lot of ora-
tory to convince a Michigan student
that there is any other champion than
Corniell.
It is a shame that the teams could
not have met on the gridiron. As it
is, comparative scores are the only
means of discovering the standings o
the teams-and comparative scores
never were satisfactory. Pittsburg
beat Penn State, 20-0. Cornell beat
Harvard, 10-0. Harvard, defeated Penn
State, 13-0. In this roundabout way
we deduce that Cornell is about three
points better than Pitt. But as we
said before, it is a matter of personal
opinion.
Any attempt to rate the other teams
in the east is sure to be unsatisfac-
tory for the simple reason that there
were so many reversals of form. Who,
for instance, would attempt to place
Yale over Princeton or Princeton over
Yale? Take your pick, gentlemen
In the mid-west, the conference title
remains disputed by Illinois and Min-
nesota. So little is known about our
neighbors' games that we will abide
by the decision of those who have seen
the games, including Ring Lardner
and leave the title to the better team.
Again it is a question of whether you
like the Illini colors better than you
do those of Minnesota.

CROSS COUNTRYTEA1M
COMPLETESGOOD YEAR
0irroll, Fox and Donnelly Prove Im-
portant Factors in
Victories
Michigan's Cross Country Club has
completed its season, but not its per-
iod of usefulness, as has been shown
in the past. The help which the club
gives the Varsity track men, especial-
ly those who are running the longer
distanes, is the chief reason for the
club's existence, and this season bids
fair to stack up well with former
seasons in a comparison based on con-
tributions to the track team.
Captain Carroll, who was among
the big men on the track team last
year, has been working as leader of
the harriers this fall, and his condi-
tion due to the outdoor training, and
the long runs is improved, s~o that he
will be of even more value to the
Varsity this year than he was last.
Carroll not only ran the mile for
the Varsity team in dual meets last
season, but he was also the individual
star in the relay team. On this team
were Donnelly and Fox, who were al-
so members of the cross country
team.a
Fox is a man who has run most of
the distance races, and Donnelly is a
man. who is in much the same boat.
Fox is running for his third year on
the Varsity squad, and he has been
taking his cross country work a little
lightly so that he will be in the top of
form for the track season.
"Red". Donnelly starts his second
season on the Varsity track squad
this year, and if the plucky junior
shows the same stuff he had last year,
seasoned by his work on the cross
country team, which should have ad-
ded more endurance to his running,
he will be one of the best men on the
squad.
Kuivinen, who next to Carroll was
the best runner among those on the
cross country team, has done some
pretty distance running, and will be
seenasatwo miler on the Varsity track
programs next spring. Kuivinen has
a nice stride, and an endurance cal-
culated to wear down his opponent
long before the last lap is reached.
Walters is running for his third
year on the cross country team, and
is a man who during the track season
runs as a two miler.
MICHIGAN SOCCER TEAM
HAS SUCCESSFU'L YEAR
Although Only Tw* Gaines Played
Varsity Team Hangs Up
Perfect Record
With only two games played, the
season for the Varsity soccer team
was closed. Although members of
the team regret that the schedule did
not include more contests, yet they
have the one consolation that a short
season affords a better chance for a
clean record. The team worked hard
and deserved a bigger and better
schedule but the athletic authorities
arranged all the games that could be
secured under the circumstances.
Soccer is not a major sport at Mich-
igan, and no money is taken in at the
games, hence no distant colleges or
universities could be imported here
and so no games could be asked for
without a return match offered.
In the first games of the season
Michigan and Ypsilanti clashed on
Ferry Field with the result of a Mich-
igan victory by the narrow margin of
1-0. The credit for the score goes to
Feizy who goaled from penalty in
the second half ,of the game. How-
ever if the score was not so decisive,
the play was more so. All through
the match the play was in the visitor's
territory and there was never any
danger of their booting the ball for a
goal. captain Tripolitis, Doombora-
jian, Feizy and Joseph were the main
factors in the Michigan method of
play.
On Nov. 20 the same two teams met
at Ypsilanti.. Again Michigan turned
the trick and made the season's aver-
age total 1000. Coach Fowler's pro-
teges worked given better in this
battle than the first one, and the score
as finally marked up read 5-0.
