SECOND PLCEIN
LEAGUE UNDECIDED
Possession of Second Set of Nmeils
in Class Football Play
Undetermined
UP TO SEi1R I1TS AND LAWS
A game between the senior law and
senior lit football teams is probably
to be played this morning for the sec-
ond set of numerals which is given
out by the Intramural office. The
game is supposed to begin at 10:00
o'clock on south Ferry Field.
The managers of the two teams are
having difficulties in regard to getting
their respective teams to play. Last
Friday the regular game was sched-
uled to have been played, but the laws
failed to show up at the appointed
time. However, the lits did not claim
a forfeit, and as a consequenc- tc-
cording to the Intramural authorities,
have thereby lost all chance of being
allowed the forfeit. Rumor says that
the members of the lit team are rather
ruffled over this fact and are not tre-
mendously keen about playing the
game today.
On the other hand the laws seem to
resent the fact that they have to play
the lits a secnd time after having
defeated them once, and after having
played in the championship game.
They think that they should receive
the second set of numerals by virtue
of their defeat of the lits, and since
they were, theoretically at least, the
second team in the first division. They
contend that the second set should
automatically go to the team which
played in the championship game.
From all appearances the Intra-
mural office is not worrying as to
whether they play off the game at all
or not. It was a matter for the man-
agers of the two team tn arrange,
and since nothing has been done to
get the game played off the whole
Affair is being regarded with disfavor.
Intramural Director Rowe intimated
yesterday that unless the game is
played off in the near future, prefer-
ably today, there is a good indication
that neither team will get the coveted
second set of numerals.
Yale Crews to Practice on Ilousatonic
New Haven, Conn., Dec. 3.-An-
nouncement has been made that the
Yale crews will have their spring
practice on the Housatonic riyer be-
low Derby on a four-mile course. This
idea was recommended by the crew
committee and is being discussed by
the campus. The crew will abandon
the harbor entirely.
Should the Housatonic prove an
ideal course, arrangements will be
made to transfer by barges the $100,-
000 George Ade boat-house.
This recommendation of the crew
committee favoring the Change does
not come as a surprise, as many form-
er oarsmen who have examined the
course, say it is better than the old
course at New London on the Thames.
This new course will be available
both for practice and for the inter-
collegiate regattas.
Ames Eeven Elects Moss 1916 Captain
Ames, Iowa, Dec. 3.-Dyewood W
Moss, half and quarterback of this
year's Ames eleven, was elected cap-
tain of the 1916 team. There were
four other candidates and 23 ballots
were necessary to determine the final
choice, Moss being elected because of
the split among the other candidates

CHINESE ATHLETES SHOW FORI
IN PRELIlINARY TRACK WORK
Farrell Likes Looks o S. C. Hung
and V. I Wong; Both
FrontOrient
Coach 'Steve' Farrell, of the track
team, likes the looks of two Chinese
students, who have been working out
at the gymnasium recently. One of
the men, S. C. Hung, '18, is a sprint-
er of no mean caliber and should de-
velop greatly under the eye of the
coach.. The other, U. D. Wong, a
freshman in the-literary college, is
reported as having done better than
ten feet in the pole vault, but of
course is ineligible for Varsity com-
petition this season.
Both of these aspirants received
their preparatory training at Tsing
Hua college in the city of Peking,
China, where they were teammates
with W. H. Pau, who is at present
enrolled in the University of Minne-
sota.
The work of the Chinese boys will
undoubtedly be followed with interest
by the campus, as no Chinaman has
as yet ever succeeded in making ti
Varsity squad.
AVIATOR TO SHOW DETROITERS
DEFENSELESS PLIGHT OF CITY
Detroit, Dec. 3.-Aviator O. E.
Williams will try to show the city of
Detroit today what might happen to
a city if a hostile nation should try
to sprinkle bombs over it. Williams
will start down town from the De-
troit Golf club and sprinkle blank
cartridge bombs over the city from a
height of probably 5,000 feet.
The feat of sprinkling the bombs is
of special notice now that the country
is being aroused by the cry of pre-
paredness and will show to Detroit
some of the aspects of war and how
futile the defense of the average
city is.
Williams is being brought to Detroit
by the Aero club of Michigan.
3UNDAY NEWSPAPER CONTRACTS
ARE DECLARED VALID BY JUDGE
Jefferson City, M o.,Dec. 3.-The va-
lidity of contracts for advertising in
Sunday newspapers have been upheld
by the Missouri supreme court. The
decision was written by Chief Justice
Woodson.
The case at issue was a suit of the
Pulitzer Publishing Co. (St. Louis
Post-Dispatch) against Henry J. Mc-
Nichols for part payment on a con-
tract for Sunday advertising. Mc-
Nichols' defense was that the pub-
lication of a newspaper on Sunday
was a violation of the state labor
law.
The opinion of the chief justice of
the supreme court says: "The great
service the press is rendering human-
ity is performed on Sunday as well
as on Monday or on any other day of
the week, and its beneficence is more
potent on the former than on the
latter, for the simple reason that the
toiling masses have more time to read
the papers on Sunday and therefore
acquire greater knowledge and in-
formation from them on that day than
upon any other day of the week."

FANCY SHOOTING EXHIBITION
WITNESSEi) AT FERRY FIELD
W. F. Evans, Champion One-Armed
Shot, and J. It. Cole Show
AbilityW1t1-Rifles.
A good-sized crowd turned out yes-
terday afternoon at Ferry Field to
witness the fancy shooting exhibition
given by John R. Cole, Jr., and W. F.
Evans, representing the Union Me-
tallic Cartridge Co., of New York
City.
Mr. Evans, who holds the title of
one-armed champion shot of the
world, gave what was perhaps the
best exhibition of shooting under a
handicap which has ever been pre-
vented in Ann Arbor.
Both of the men proved themselves
most capable shots with all sorts of
guns. One of their favorites was the
throwing into the air a number of
eggs, then hitting all of them with a
rifle before they succeeded in reach-
ing the ground. Another stunt was
the hurling of chunks of coal into the
air and then pulverizing the black
lumps so thoroughly that they seemed
to have disappeared.
Train Wives and Mothers at Columbia.
New York, Dec. 3.-Columbia Uni-
versity is this year giving new courses
for the training of wives and mothers.
Matrons who wish to become efficient
and scientific managers of their own

spare time, though the women who
take the courses in this way will not
become candidates for a degree.
SOCCER TEAM UNLIKELY1
TO RE CEIVEANY INSIGNIA
Scarcity of Games May Bar Members
of Aggregation from
Rewards,
Members of this year's Varsity soc-
cer team are not likely to receive any
insignia. The reason for this is not
known, but the probable one is that
the team did not play a sufficient
number of games to warrant awarding
either numerals or any other kind of
insignia. In the eyes of the athletic-
authorities, the sport is not on a firm
enough basis to insure it a high
standing.
Captain Tripolitis of the Varsity
squad does not know whether the team
will receive numerals or not. He ex-
pressed himself as hoping that insig-
nia would be given out by the athletic
office, and said that he was of the
opinion that the members of the squad
deserved something in return for the
time and work they had given to the
success of the season, and that al-
though the schedule only included two
games, yet this was no fault of the
soccer men, and they had done their
part in ' that they had won both of
these contests.
However, it is still a question with
the athletic authorities as to whether
soccer shall be a representative sport
of the university.
coaches have been at work for ten or
twelve years.
Back in 1897 I began coaching at
Ohio Wesleyan. I wanted to see the
country and become familiar with the
game as played in all sections, so I
worked west. In 1898 I went to Ne-]
braska, and to Kansas in 1899, going
on to Stanford in 1900. In 1901 IJ
moved to Michigan, and have been
there ever since.
I remember "Pop" Warner, an old
Cornell man, was in harness when I
started. He was with North Carolina
then, and went later to Cornell and
Carlisle. Now he is at the University
of Pittsburg.
Then there is Dr. Williams, who
has been at Minnesota for sixteen
years, and who has developed many
was quarterback at Kansas. He has
been coaching for seventeen years,
fourteen of them at Oklahoma.
Two other coaches who are getting
to be veterans are Donahue of Auburn
and Heismann of Georgia Tech. They
have had a lot of victories to their
credit.
The game is much more interesting
now, from a spectator's standpoint,
than it was when I began. That is on
account of the open game, and - the
doing away with mass plays. While
there is plenty of line plunging today,
it is in the nature of driving or de-
ception in attack, rather than mass
play. The players know more of the
science of the game now. There is
more skill and headwork than in the
old days.

Willard signed a contract several
