INDOOR 9ASEALL
A ES COMMENCE
Each Team Must SPlay Two Games by
Next Wednesday; Schedule
Announced
PLAYERS MUST BE EXAMINED
A schedule for the indoor baseball
league of class teams has been ar-
ranged by the Intramural office, to
take effect today. The chart provides
that each team shall have played two
games by next Wednesday, and that
each game shall be of 40 minutes
duration.
Any team forfeiting two games on
this schedule will be dropped from
the league, although this does not
mean that by losing two games the
team will be excluded from further
competition. All managers must have
their eligibility lists in at the Intra-
riural office before starting a game
and every man on any team must be
examined before he will be permitted
to go into a contest. Players can be
examined at Waterman gymnasium
and Dr. May will be in the building
on Tuesday evening to examine all
prospective contestants, Managers
must seeto it that this is done before-
hand.
Mr. Armstrong will umpire any
game for which other officials have
not been secured by mutual consent
of the managers, but managers are ex-
pected to get together and arrange for
an official. Gams will be called
promptly as the time for use of the
gym is limited to the hours between
7:00 and 9:00 o'clock. For this rea-
son no set number of innings can be
played and scores will revert back to
the even inning.
Managers must provide their own
official bats and the regulation indoor
baseball. The official 17 inch ball will
be used in all games.
Intramural Director Rowe was very
emphatic in insisting that men who
played on class football teams are not
eligible for any indoor baseball team
This applies to those men who antici-
pate playing on' class basketball or
baseball teams.
Three games were played for prac-
tice at the last session: the J-engi-
neers vs. the J-medics; the pharmics
vs. the architects; the senior engi-
neers vs. the J-lits. In the first of
these the J-engineers trounced the
J-medics by a 5-0 score. Only one
medic even got as far as first base,
and that on the occasion when Dar-
nall walked. In the next period the
pharmics walked on the all-architects
to the tune of 5-2. Davenport pitched
a good game for the architects and
held the prescription boys down to
scattered hits, and successfully pre-
vented more than two tallies being an-
nexed by his opponents. When time
was called on the second game the
senior engineers proceeded to wallop
the J-lits by a score of 5-0. This was
the game where Des Jardins, the star
twirler for the engineers, connected
with the ball for four bases. There
was never any danger of the'lits gar-
nering more than their share of the
runs, although Harrison pitched a
good game for his team and received
good support. The lits were weak at
the stick a d failed to touch up either
Trelfa or Les Jardins for any serious
wallops.
The schedule follows:
Tonight--7:00 o'clock, architects vs.
fresh engineers; 7:40 o'clock, junior
engineers vs. fresh laws; 8:20 o'clock.
junior lits vs. senior engineers.

Conference Action Meets Disapproval
Chicago, InI., Dec. 6.--Reports from
the Big Nine colleges today indicate
that the decision to abolish baseball in
the conference met with the general
disapproval of most .of the members.
Both Illinois students and faculty did
not hesitate to denounce the action in
emphatic terms. Director Huff, of
Illinois, said that this action would
not solve the problem by any means,
as did Fred Murphy, of Northwestern.
Coach Stagg, of Chicago, declared him-
self as favoring the ruling by saying
that the abolishment would take away,
all thought of studer ts perjuring them-
TO DAYI
Gymnasium work will start this
week for the men who have been se-
lected to compose the winters footbal
squad. The men have been assigned
to divisions best suited to their sched-
ules of class work, and will work out
twice a week under the direction of
the reserve coaches.
The first of a series of dinners,
which will be continued at monthly
intervals throughout the winter, is to
be held tonight at the Michigan Union.
The eats are to appear promptly at
6:00 o'clock, and all men on the squad
are invited to be present as guests' of
the "M" club. The purpose of these
dinners will be to bring up points of
general interest to the squad, and
they will serve to hold the athletes
togetllr throughout the winter train-
ing.
The men are urged to be prompt at
each session of their particular group.
Those who do not have a locker are
asked to see Dr. May at Waterman
gymnasium at once in order that they
may be assigned to locker space. Sev-
eral of the athletes have not, up to
this time, returned the schedule cards
which were sent out last week, and
these delinquents should get this in-
formation in to the athletic office at
once, in order that they may be as-
signed to some section.
The divisions to which the men
have been assigned are as follows:
Monday and Thursday at 4:00 o'clock:
Whalen, Sharpe, Weimann, Snyder,
Nash, Beath, Mead, Edwards and
Brown. Monday and Wednesday at
4:00 o'clock: Weske, Biber, Mac-
lacklan, Thompson, R. G. Dunn and
McCallum. Tuesday and Thursday at
4:00 o'clock: Howe, Ewert, Johnson,
Loucks and Bathrick. Tuesday and

4:00 o'clock: Raymond, Calvin, Peach,
Willard, Meibeyer, Watts and Hawke.
Wednesday at 4:00 o'clock: Rehor.
The coaches have been assigned to
the sections and will work with the
men at the times stated, "Aqua" All-
mendinger on Mondays and Thurs-
days, "Jimmie" Raynsford on Tues-
days and Fridays, and McGinnis on
Wednesdays.

THE DAILY
SPORTOSCOPE
The current issue of Collier's
Weekly offers C. E. Patterson's All-
Western football. team for public ap-
proval, or disapproval, as the case
may be.
Patterson's selections have ap-
peared annually for several years in
Collier's and are among the more or
less significant lists, as Patterson
rates high as an authority. Captain-
elect Maulbetsch is placed at one of
the halvcs, and is the only Michigan
man on either the first or second
team. Illinois has four representa-
tives on Patterson's first team.
Central A. A. U. athletes broke 54
records this past year, which have
been officially accepted by the record
committee. It is interesting to notei
that three of these are credited to
Joe Loomis, the Chicago athlete, who
may come to Michigan in February.
Loomis receives official credit for
9 4-5 seconds in the 100-yard dash,
which event he. won in the national
meet at San Francisco last summer.
Loomis also established a new 50-
yard indoor mark for the Central A.
A. U., covering the distance in 5 3-5
seconds. In the running high jump
Joe cleared the bar at the phenom-
enal height of 6 feet 5 3-8 inches,
smashing the former record in sen-
sational style. Loomis will be a.
valuable addition to the Michigan
track team. He visited Captain Hal
Smith at the Cornell game, and re-
ported that he was immensely pleas-
ed with Michigan and that it was pos-
sible that he would enroll here when
the second semester began.
Coach Yost of Michigan has been
called upon to settle ofte of those tri-
angular disputes over a football ti-
tie, the Indiana interscholastic cham-
pionship hanging in the balance.
Garfield defeated Wiley, Wiley de-
feated Robinson, and Robinson de-
feated Garfield. If we were Coach
yo t, after having this problem pre-
sented, we'd write back and officially
confer the championship emblem up-
on Muncie or Fort Wayne, and thus
save the feelings of all concerned.
Those optimistic "fellows who are
firm believers in the doctrine that
the world is daily growing more civ-
ilized are utterly put to route by
recent developments in New Yorx.

or four days of the bike contest in.

EACH CLUB RECOMMENDS JUDGE
Civilian, college, university, school,
and military rifle clubs are now get-
ting under way for the indoor league
matches to be shot during the winter
of 1915-1916. Already arrangements
are being made for the coming season,
letters notifying the clubs of the
fact that matches will be shot, to-
gether with entry blanks and condi-
tions for entries, having been sent to
the secretaries of the clubs by the Na-
tional Rifle association at Washing-
ton, D. C.
The targets are being prepared for
shipment to the clubs, and the clubs
are being classified. The targets, af-
ter being shot, are returned to Wash-
ington where the scores are compiled
weekly and the results sent out to the
competing bodies. The first entries to
close are those for the civilian clubs,
and for the colleges. The second entry
list, which includes all high schools,
must be complete by December 11,
while the date limit for the remaining
classes has not been set.
Due to its showing last year, when
it finished well up in the class in
which it was then competing, class
"C," the Michigan rifle club team has
been advanced to the distinction of
being allowed to compete in class "B."
With the added experience which the
men on the team have this year, it is
expected that Michigan's total for the
year will be even better than it was
last year, in spite of the graduation of
several of the club's best shots.
The conditions governing the college
and school clubs will be the same as
last year, with the exception that the
one and one-half inch sighting target
will be used. For the college matches
the shooting will be done from the
prone position, shots being fired from
a distance of 75 feet. Ten men will
shoot, and 10 targets will be sent in,
the five highest counting as the score
for the team. The official National
Rifle association gallery target for 75
feet, having five counting bulls of two
inch diameter, will be used.
To certify to the authenticity of the
targets, each club is supposed to rec-
ommend a judge whd will supervise
all the club shoots. The members of
the winning club in each of the four
-leagues will receive medals, in accord-
ance with the custom of former years.
The" single bull's-eye target, which
formerly sold for $2.50 per thousand,
is no longer available, but the Na-
tional Rifle association has for sale
the five bull targets selling at $3.50
per thousand.
CRAIG COACHES FOOTBALL
TEAM ATMRCERSBURS
"Jimmie" Craig Introducing Ideas of
His Old Mentor, Develops Strong
Mercersburg Team.
"Jimmie" Craig introduced some
Yost ideas of coaching, along with
some distinctly his own, to the Mer-
cersburg students this fall, and de-
veloped an eleven for that prep school
which lost but one of its seven games.
Of the remaining six, two were won,
and four tied.
Mercersburg's schedule for the
1915 season was no easy path to glory,
and his men had an uphill fight to
condition themselves for the stiff sea-
son. The former Michigan half-back
had about 100 candidates out for the
Mercersburg team at the beginning of
the season, and from these was able
to train a machine of eleven which
was quite effective in holding its op-
ponents, but it was able to score no
more than its opponents in four of
its games.
The first game resulted in the first
tie, Mercersburg holding the Carlisle
Indians' second team scoreless, but
at the same time was unable to count
against the Redmen. Somewhat dis-
couraged after this game the prep
men played their worst -game of the
season in the next tilt, when the
Princeton freshman eleven defeated
Coach Craig's proteges by a 3 to 0
score.
The sting of this defeat put them
on their mettle, and they took the
next two games, beating the Lafay-
ette second team 8 to 0, and the Uni-
versity of Pennsylvania freshmen 16
to 0. Marshall had just beaten the
Red and Blue yearlings by an 11 to
9 score, and the fact that Mercers-
burg pushed ove- a more severe de-
feat than had Marshall was a big
feather in the Craigmen's caps.
With the defeat of the Penn Fresh,
hwoever, the victories for the season
closed, and three tie games followed.
Lehigh's second team played a score-
less game with Mercersbrg, and this
game was followed by a 7 to 7 tie
with Conway Hall. The Conway Hall
game should have been a victory for
Mercersburg, the Penn State Fresh
having beaten that institution 91 to0,
but Mercersburg redeemed itself the
following week, tieing Penn State's
freshmen, 7 to 7.
Viewed fromh the aspect of develop-
ing material, the season was a suc-
cess, and Mercersburg was -more
than satisfied with its Yost-coached
coach.
Two Pennsy Stars Out For Coach
Philadelphia, Dec. 6.-"Bill" Hollen-
back and "Bob" Folwell, the latter the
sensational coach of W. & J., and
both Pennsy backfield stars in 1906,
have proffered their services as foot-
ball coach in 1916.
While in Philadelphia with theI
Varsity team for the Penn game,
Coach Yost wasrasked by someone
why Michigan, with her 6,000 stud-
ents was not represented by a bet-
ter team of gridiron huskies than the
Maize and Blue boasted of the past
season.
The Wolverine tutor became some-
what riled and replied in words which
contained far more truth than poetry
that the schools which are allowed to
play four year men have a tremen-.
dous handicap over the three year
schools for the reasons that many
high school stars would rather go to
four years schools than remain out
of varsity competition for their first
year, also that many of our best
gridiron heroes come from families
of only little means, and that conse-
quently they would rather go to the
small schools where the cost is not
so great.
Going on, Yost unburdened himself
so far to say that the size of the stud-
ent body did not make so much dif-
ference. To quote the coach's exact
words, "I'll take 15 real football.
players and trust to getting the sec-
ond string out of a student body of
25 or less."

Plebe Is "Strong Man" at Annapolis
Annapolis, Md., Dec. 6.-Eugene R.
Smith of Illinois, a plebe in the Na-
val academy, won the title of strong
man with a total of 8,325 points. Smith
was a guard on this fall's football
team. The record for the Academy is
held by "Babe" Brown, the All-Ameri
ican guard on Camp's 1913 football
team, with a record of 9,010 points,
but this record was not made until
his last year in the academy. It is
theught that Smith will eclipse this
mark before he graduates.
