THREE MORE GAMES SCHEDULED
TO BE PLAYED TOMORROW NIGHT
SOPH AND FRESH LITS TO TAKE
PLACES OF FRESH LAWS
AND SENIOR LITS
Interclass indoor baseball staged
two games on opening night at Water-
man gym yesterday. Three were
scheduled but one of the teams drop-
ped out of the league and the change
in the chart could not be made in
time to fill up the vacancy. The all-
architects lambasted the soph engi-
neers by an 8-4 score, and the senior
engineers walloped the J-lits, 13-3. A
practice game was staged by the J-
engineers and a scrub team during
the second period of the evening.
Owing to a late start the first game
was of short duration, and only three
innings were played. The architects
were given the bat and Captain Cam-
eron, the first batter, connected for
one base and on the next throw stole
second. Encouraged thereby, the ar-
chitects began a slugging fest, when
Davenport drove out a three-base hit,
scoring Cameron. Two more hits, the
second a two-base slam, and two runs
were driven in. Another hit and an-
other tally, and a theft at the plate
netted five runs for the first half of
the first inning.
Davenport, of the architects, started
out by striking out the first batter and
continued to pitch good ball through-
out the remainder of the inning, but
some wild pegs and a couple of errors
allowed the engineers a run. The next
two batters were thrown out at first
The next inning was short and snappy.
The architects annexed two outs on
short drives to each shortstop when
Davenport deliveredd a two-base wa'l-
lop ahd was followed by a safety. An-
other two-bagger drove in the only
run of the inning. The engineers failed
to get a man on first and went down
in short order. In the third inning
two safe hits netted a tally and a sac-
rifice brought in the other run for the
architects. After that they died
easily.
The engineers piled up three runs
after Cameron had received a ball on
the thumb and had dropped the ball
twice on the third strike, thus allow-i
ing two men.to get on base. The sec-
ond muff let in the first run, and a1
couple of hits garnered two more
markers. The last two batters both
flied out. Time was called at the endl
of the third inning and the final score4
stood 8-4, in favor of the architects.
In the second regular game, the
senior 'ngineers clashed with thet
J-lits with defeat for the lits as a re-t
sult. Kesler and Hardy started theE
game for the lits and Trelfa and Pri-t
meau were the batteries for the engi-l
neers. Harrison alternated with Kes-1
ler in the box.7
Both teams started off in great styleI
the lits taking the field and the engi-1
neers the bat. Hill nabbed the first -
pop fly but "Tommy" Trelfa immedi-
ately messed things up by a hit for
two bases and proce'ded to steal ev-
erything in sight, arriving home safelyc
on an error. The seniors then began
to hit the ball around the running
track, and amongst the girders with
the result that four more units were
added to their count. The lit catcher,
Hardy, ended the period by. nailing
two men at the plate. Generously aid-
ed by errors on the part of the engi-t
neers, the lits grabbed one run in the,
first inning and then retired to the
field.3
Neither team scored -in the second
inning, both pitchers apparently being
hard to touch. The third period saw
five more runs for the engineers and;
two more for the lits, both teams hit-
ting like professionals and both bunt-
ing the ball and juggling it quite of-
ten. The engineers got three runs in
the fourth inning- before they were re-
tired, but Trelfa disappointed the its 1
Michigan May Get
CentraiHigh Star
"Biff" Culver, Captain of Detroit
Team, May Enter University
in the Fall
According to reliable information
emanating from Detroit, Ward Culver,
captain of the Detroit Central high
championship eleven, will enter Mich-
igan next fall. Culver is regarded as
the star of the Detroit line. He has
played with the team for four years,
weighs in the neighborhood of 190
pounds, and is as fast a man of that
weight as could be found anywhere.
Experts who have watched the Mich-
igan team for years, are of the opinion
that "Biff" Culver will be as good a
prospect as Yost will corral next sea-
son. These same experts say that
Culver could have outplayed some of
the men on the Michigan line this
year.
He played the game of his life
against Everett high last week, and
has shown constant improvement in
every battle he has entered. With
men like Yost and Schultz to coach
him he should prove one of the strong
mein on the team of 1917. Of course,
Culver has not definitely said that he
would enter the university, but it is
considered that Michigan will be his
first choice.
The campaign to get athletes to
come to Ann Arbor had its first tryout
among the Detroit Central boys. If
Culver and some of his fellow players
enter, it will be a stepping stone to
securing more. Those who know seem
to regard "Biff" as a capable substi-
tute for the star centers whom Yost.
has had from Detroit Central. This
includes Patterson and Raynsford.
Hendrian, the stocky quarter of the
Detroit aggregation, has also prom-
ised to give Michigan his fullest con-
sideration if he decides to pursue his
education beyond the high school
stage.
TOM RILEY HAS STIFF
SCHEDULEAT AMHERST
Schedule at Amherst Piles Up Total
of 81 Points but Forced to Drop
Three Games of Importance.
Tom Riley, who played on the 1909
"come-back" team that Coach Yost
put into the field has had a strenuous
season as coach of the Amherst
team. Under his direction this year
tle Amherst eleven has piled up a
total of 81 points to their opponents'
66, but has been forced to drop three
games, Trinity, Dartmouth and
Springfield beating the sons of Lord
Geoff ry.
Riley's men started the season with
three victories in a row, and were
just nosed out of tieing their fourth
game when they failed to kick a goal.
The first victim for the Amherst elev-
en was the team from Middlebury,
which suffered a 14 to 7 defeat. Bow-
doin held Amherst to one touchdown,
but was unable to score, and lost a
6 to 0 game. Brown was the next
team to suffer defeat at the hands of
Riley's men, losing by a 7 to 0 score.
In the fourth game Trinity and
Amherst each scored one touchdown,
but Amherst failed to goal after their
score, and was beaten by a one point
margin, 7 to 6. Had it not been for
a field goal Riley's charges would
have turned the same trick on Wes-
leyan a week later, when Wesleyan
failed to kick goal after a touchdown,
but Amherst added three points by a
field goal, and made their margin four
points, the final standing being Am-
herst 10, Wesleyan 6.
Two disasters followed in the next
two weeks, when Dartmouth shut out
the Amherst ren, in the meantime
rolling up a score of 26 against their
opr :nents. This 26 to 0 defeat at the
hands of the Green was the worst that
Cc4ch Riley's team sustained, although
the Springfield eleven came close to
that score the next week. Spring-
field, however, allowed Amherst seven
points, and fell six short of Dart-
mouth's score, the final count reading,
Springfield, 20; Amherst, 7.
Amherst had the pleasure of seeing
the Yost-coached coach lead his men
to a victory in the final game of the
year when Riley's boys beat Williams
by a 31 to 0 score in the season's big-
gest event. In this game Amherst
was playing its best game of the sea-
UNCOVER HIGH JUMP PROSPECT
Griest Scales Cross-Bar at Five Feet,
Nine Inches Yesterday
A real prospect for the high jump
was uncovered yesterday afternoon
when Griest scaled the cross-bar after
it had been placed at five feet, nine
inches. This is showing remarkable
form for so early in the season, and
if the lanky one is able to improve
with further training, he should show
the eastern boys some real competi-
tion, as the mark made yesterday was
better than Michigan hung up in any
meets last season.
Members of the cross country team
have been taking a vacation since the
outdoor running season closed, relax-
ing from their strenuous work in the
long distances. Most of them are not
expected to do much work until after
the holidays, when the regular call
for candidates will be issued.
May Reinstate Yale's Ineligibles
New Haven, Conn., Dec. 7.-The
question of reinstating the five Yale
athletes who were declared ineligible
for playing summer baseball, was dis-
cussed informally at a joint meeting
of committees from Harvard, Prince-
ton and Yale in New York last week,
was the statement given out by Prof.
R. N. Corwin, of the Yale athletic com-
Armstr6ng to Coach H. S. Teams
- "Bones" Armstrong, '17, has been
.engaged to coach the Ann Arbor high
school track team for the coming sea-
son. Armstrong will also help Coach
Apple with the basketball team, caring
for the local high school scrubs. He
expects to work out with his proteges
in track, so that he can keep in shape
to jump the hurdles for Michigan in
the coming season.
COMMISSIOIN GOVERNED CITIES
INCLUDED IN PROHIBITION ACT
Denver, Colo., Dec. 7.-The validity
of the state-wide prohibition law as
an act applying to commission gov-
ernment cities as well as all other
districts of Colorado was unani-
mously upheld by the supreme court
this morning. The Supreme court
ruled that while the city is a com-
mission government it has certain
special rights in purely municipal
matters, but without authority to
conduct its affairs in contravention of
state law.

THE DAILY SPORTOSCOPE
Yale made a paltry $116,000 on foot-
ball this season. Yet a few of her best
athletes were black-listed and pub-
licly removed from the game for ac-
cepting their board and an occasional
cigar for playing summer baseball.
But then, they were professionals you
know, and the great and nable institu-
tion of football must not be commer-
cialized. Perish the thought! The
Almighty Dollar must not become in-
volved in these strictly "amateur" af-
fairs. Ah, mercy gracious, no
Oliphant, the Army's star half-back,
was thrown from his horse during a
recent drill and rather severely in-
jured. It was the first time this sea-
son that Oliphant has been thrown for
a loss, and it took a horse to do it at
that.
American - universities are busy
forming an intercollegiate rifle club.
According to reports, European col-
leges have been busily engaged in this
interesting little pastime now for sev-
eral months back.
Mr. Armstrong has offered his ser-
vices as umpire for the indoor base-
ball league, and volunteers to officiate
at any contests when previous ar-
rangements for an umpire have not
been made; which action speaks well
for Mr. Armstrong's unquestioned
courage. We hereby propose his name
for consideration for the title of
igan's Bravest and Most Cour
Individual."
The Big Nine has just announced
latest change. The Big Nine is f
ever altering and abolishing est

ishes baseball. There's just about
thing left for the Big Nine to abol

who are convinced that this 'would
the most diplomatic thing that
Western Conference could do, but t
fact alone is sufficient reason to bl
the movement.
San Francisco now steps to the f

Mark Payne, of the Dakota W
leyan university, drop kicked a g
from the 65-yard line this season, t:
establishing a new world's record,
cording to reports. Mark set a r
record all right if he really perforr
the feat, but there are many who
inclined to believe that Mark's pr
agent Is fully as efficient at his cho
trade as Mark is at place kicking.

in one-two-three order. The game
ended with the score standing 13-3,
the engfheers leading.
Another game was scheduled to have
been played off last night but the fresh
laws who were to have played the J-
engineers, dropped out of the league
and did not notify the Intramural of-
fice in time to enable the authorities
to fill out the schedule. In addition
to the fresh laws, the senior lits have
also dropped out of the league and
the places of these two teams are to
be taken in the schedule by the soph
lit& and the fresh lits. The J-engi-
nc,ers were in the .gym ready to play
but the soph lits could not be notified
in time to enable them to get out, and
the engineers were not awarded a for-
feit. The schedule will not be changed
at all. The two new teams will mere-
ly take the places of those dropping
out.
During the course of the practice
game between the J-engineers and the
scrub team, the most noteworthy event
of the contest was the breaking of a
window upstairs on the running track.
The pitcher apparently lost control for
a moment and the ball connected with
the glass. The whole game was a
carnival of errors and most uninter-
esting hunt for the ball after some en-
gineer had inadvertently hit it.
Tomorrow's games are given below:
7:00 o'clock, pharmics vs. J-medics;
7:40 o'clock, fresh engineers vs. senior
laws; 8:20 o'clock, J-laws vs. fresh
lits.
