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. $12 MACKINA $ FOR $5 The best Quality Wool, direct from the factory, no wholesalers profit Also $10 to $15 Sheepskin Coats for $5 to $6.75 Cal HA RRY1ALVIN 120 .- o ... ._ 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 lished institutions, and now it al ishes baseball. There's just about thing left for the Big Nine to abol and that is itself. There are so 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 and with a humble apology announ a five-day bicycle race. The detern ation to limit the event to five d instead of six, denotes 16 2-2 per c more intellect on the coast than v in evidence in either New York Chicago, however. 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. iharfiman to Speak in Grand RapidsI Professor 1.

Opal, '17, Taken to Hospital. Earl J. Opal, '17, was taken to the 'iniversity hospital yesterday after- goon suffering with acute arthritis. 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. vERCOATS '1kupe nheimer, on sale by N. F.

Oregon and Rutgers Follow Michigan That college sentiment throughout the country is beginning to follow the example of Michigan and a few other schools in the matter of intercollegiate basketball is shown by the action taken by Rutgers college and the Uni- versity of Oregon in abolishing it.
