Such is the line-up of the all-campus
football team picked yesterday by the
Intramural authorities. After consid-
eration of the merits of the candidates
of the variops class teams and exer-
cise of careful judgment, the members
of the honorary eleven were \chosen,
and their positios decided upon.
Several considerations entered into
the picking of men for the imaginary
team. Individual ability of a neces-
sity was the most important factor In
choosing the men eligible for positions.
Another important factor was con-
sistency of work throughout the entire
season; those men who starred during
one or two games only, were not as
liable to land a place as those who
kept up a consistent pace in all of the
games in, which they played. Several
men of ability dropped. out of the
league early in the season, or at least
before the schedule was completed,
and thus could not be given prefer-
ence over men who played until the
race was officially determined and the
season closed.
Other considerations also featured.
The division to which any candidate's
team belonged was taken as an indi-
cation to some extent, of the class of
players into which the proposed all-
campus gridder should fall. A team
which fought its way up to the first
division may be considered as having
played harder and as having been
forced to undergo keener competition.
However this was rot taken as an in-
fallible rule. In one or two cases men
of all-campus calibre were not even
considered on account of their ex-
treme tendency towards rough playing
and evident poor spirit on the field.
Where a player had been taken out of
an official contest for roughness his
C name did not come up for discussion.
An all-round player in most cases
was given the preference over one
who was preeminent in one depart-
ment of the game only. Men on sec-
ond division teams even superceded
others on .first division aggregations,
when they were of a more all-round
character.
On the first team the Dents, campus
champions, landed three places; the
senior laws, two; the soph lits, two;
the senior engineers, one; the J. lits,
two; the senior lits, one. The second
team includes four soph lits; four
senior lits; one senior law; one senior
engineer; and one junior lit.

Some of the men are placed at po-
sitions different from those which they
played on their respective teams.
Headman, the senior engineer full-
back, was placed at left tackle, as it
was the opinion that he is rightfully
a line man. So also with McCall.
Although he played in the backfield
for the senior laws, yet his regular po-
sition is at end and he merely played
behind the line because there were

Michigan Gridiron Men to Keep
Shape With Hand-Ball
and Boxing

iii

It is but a short time since the
curtains were drawn on the 1915 foot-
bafl season, but work is already be-
ing outlined for the development of
next year's Varsity.
The Athletic Association appointed
Assistant Coache Raynsford, Allmen-
din'ger and McGinnis as a committee
to look after next year's prospects, and
to outline indoor work for them dur-
ing the balance of the college year,
until Old Sol and the piping robins
permit the gridiron aspirants to ven-
ture forth to the cool sod of Ferry
Field.
Tle indoor work will be conducted
in Waterman gymnasium and will con-
sist of hand-ball, basketball, boxing,
wrestling, practice' starting, and all
other forms of gymnastic activity cal-
culated to keep the muscles hard. The
men will be divifed into groups of
about five each, and put in charge of
some of the "M" men on the squad.
It is calculated to arrange the group-
ing so as to suit the members of each
group and provide a time at which
they can meet together.
Dr. May has promised the pigskin
luggers plenty of room for training
quarters in the 'gymnasium, and it is
expected that the winter's workout
will be of great value to Coach Yost
when he takes hold of the candidates
for football honors at spring practice.
ly true of the backfield possibilities.
Among the players who were consid-
ered for the quarterback's position
was Perry of the soph lits, a man who
played a , most consistent : game
throughout the season, a good general
and one who could carry the ball for
gains. The 'main thing that was
against him was his lack of weight.
Brown, of the senior laws, is also
worthy of mention. Re did good work,
especially in carrying the ball, and
was an important factor in the law
defense. Both Whitmarsh, of the
dents, and Cork, of the senior lits, had
points in their favor which could not
be overlooked. Whitmarsh, in addi-
tion to being one of the best pivot men
in the league, was the most valuable
man on his team with the possible ex-
ception of Brown, and guided his team
to campus champior. ship. .
Shadford, of the soph engineers, and
McNamara, of the senior lits, were
mentioned for backfield positions but
since they incurred the displeasure of
the interclass authorities, their names
were not considered. McNamara was
ruled out of a game for roughness,
and Shadford also showed inclinations
along this line.
Of all the men in the class league
who were placed on the campus
eleven, Edwards, the soph lit star, is
perhaps the best all-round man. He
practically won two games for his
team, and was the main cog in the lit
scoring machine as well as the great-
est factor in that team's defense. The
second year lit team probably possess-
ed the best backfield on south Ferry
Field, Frick at full and Watts at left
half were worthy team-mates of Ed-
.ward s.
The remaining members of the
imaginary team won their places by
superior merit. There were close de-
cisions between some of the men on
the first and second teams as to which
should receive the higher honor. In
spite of the difficulties found in pick-
ing such an eleven and the necessity
for great discrimination in making any
choice, it can safely be affirmed that
all positions were awarded only after
the greatest care and consideration
had been shown and all fairness ob-
served.

elected its next year's captain and
disbanded, followed by the cross coun-
try squad and by the interclass foot-
ball league.
And still the field preserves that
neutral appearance. A few good
things and a few not so good have
failed to change it.
In spite of the fact that Ferry Field
is at present a desolate and uninter-
esting sort of place, the athletic field
has seen a variety of exhibitions this
fall, and none of them are without
significance.
In football the Wolverines suffered
three defeats, which were counterbal-
aiced by just one more victory. The
worst season that a Yost coached team
has ever experienc has just been
passed through, and yet at the end of
i no visible signs are to be seen on
Ferry Field. On the other hand the
scene of the past misfortunes of the
Yostmen appears as it might have
looked after a 1901 or 1913 season.
The only other Varsity sport to be
seen on Ferry Field during this fall
,. s tennis, and as remarkable strides
orward were made in that sport this

in the next three years to come. Not
only the increased excellence in the
play, but the increased interest in the
sport adds to the propitious nature of
the augury.
Soccer almost gained the rank of a
Varsity sport during the past season,
but fell short because it lacked a
regular schedule. In the two games
p. ayed the Michigan men acquitted
themselves with credit, so much so.
in fact, that the reality of a Varsity
soccer team is now something of the
nearing future.
The freshmen played around at foot-
ball under the direction of Coach
Douglass, and had the usual success-
ful season, and closed that unsurpris-
ing event with the usual prophecy that.
Michigan's hope for a successful Var-
sity team in the next year rested in
the hands of the yearlings alone.
Cross country running, although it
did not have its headquarters at Ferry;
Field, pushed itself into prominence
there on one occasion. At that time=
the team managed to get away in its
regulation manner and romp away:

THE DAILY SPORTOSCOPE

In order to give more men an op-
portunity to enjoy the benefits of in-
terclass sports, it has been decided
not to permit those athletes who have
played class football during the 1915'
season to compete in the indoor base-
ball series. Any student taking part
in the indoor games will be barred
from entering class basketball later
on.
Class managers will be expected to
furnish balls and bats for their re-
spective teams. There are now two
balls, and two bats at the
gymnasium, however, which will be
available for the use of the teams,
until they are beyond usage.

Perhaps there is no more competent
man in the west to pick an All-West-
ern football team than Walter Ecker-'
sall of the Chicago Tribune. Ecker-
sall follows football closely and has
officiated in many of the more import-
ant contests.
Eckersall was numbered among
the officials who handled the Mich-
ian-Cornell game, and usually each
Saturday found him viewing the most
important of the western battles from
-in "inside' position. 'thus Eckersall's
mythical eleven is, perhaps, as signifi-
cant as any that are selected.
Maulbetsch, captain-elect of the
Michigan team, was placed at left half
on Eckersall's team, and was one of
the two men selected who did not per-
form in the Western Conference. Eck-
:rsall's choices follow:

Captain "Bill" Cochran was the only,
other Wolverine that drew mention.,
Cochran was numbered among the list
of prominent guards, although he was
not placed on the first or second team.
Now that Cornell .has produced a.
winning football team, she can boast
of more championships than any other+
institution in the country of late years.
Cornell crews have always been fam-
ous; Cornell track teams are usually
conceded to be either among the best,
or the best; in cross country running
she has won 15 of the 16 annual races;
her basketball and wrestling teams,
etc., are almost in the first rank, when
indeed they fail to actually win their
respective titles. These Big Red per-
formers really aren't so bad, you
know.

ed all of the 14 points that the soldiers
