Insignia
PlansI
FOR INTERCOLLEGIATE WINNERSI
Cross-countrymen may be rewarded
with a new form of insignia as a re-
sult of action started yesterday by the
Board in Control of Athletics.
No definite plan was adopted by the
board, but a committee composed of
J. W. Finkenstaedt, '16, and T. Hawley'
Tapping, '16L, was appointed to work
out the final form of the motion which
will no doubt be acted upon at the
next meeting.
Heretofore cross-country athletes
have received the "CCC" which has
been unsatisfactory. Because of the
fact that the "M'! was not a part of
the insignia,'the Michigan team has
been unrecognizable. The form which
met with general approval among the
members of the Board of Directors
was the "CMC," which would probably
be awarded to the team which won an
intercollegiate meet.
A plan was also proposed to permit
the team which competed in the east
ern intercollegiates to wear the "CMC"
on their track shirts, and in case they
won one of the first five places at the
intercollegiates to present the mem-
bers of the team with sweaters bear-
ing the "CMC."
Gilman Favored for Harvard Captaincy
Cambridge, Mass., Dec. 8.-Joseph
A. Gilman, of Honolulu, is considered
as the logical choice for captain of the
1916 Harvard gridiron team. The elec-
tion will be held tomorrow and pre-
dictions have been made that the
tackle will be elected on the first
ballot.
Big Leap Equals
Record of Season
Another athlete yesterday raised the
hopes of Michigan's track team fol-
lowers, when V. H. Simmons tied the
season's record for the high jump by
going over the cross-bar at five feet
nine inches yesterday. This record
was made only the day before by
Griest and is considered excellent for
so early in the season.
Sprinters and shot-putters are prom-
ised a chance for real work by the
end of the week, as the authorities
have said that the runway will be in
shape by Friday.
"Red" Donnelly, late of the cross
country squad, made his appearance
in a suit yesterday, but confined his
work to jogging around the floor, as
the junior figures that he is in pretty
good shape right now after the stren-
uous work of the past fall.
A few of the vaulters inade their
first appearance, and tried their luck
with the long jump, but no attempt
was made to let themselves out to
any extent.

YEAR SUCCESSFUL
Commodores Score Total of 413 Points
While Opponents Gather but
38 Counters.
PLAY "BRUT E" PONTIUS' TEAM
Dan McGugin, one of Coach Yost's
pupils in the gridiron game, and
football mentor at Vanderbilt, coached
the team this year which romped
away with the Dixie championship,
Vandy running up a total of 513
points to their opponents' 38, and los-
ing but one of the 10 scheduled
games.
The wonder of the game played by
Vanderbilt this year and the remark-
able fact that the Commodores won
the Dixie title is made even greater
by the' fact that this honor followed
on the heels of the most disastrous
season that the Nashville team has
ever cxperienced. In 1914 the Com-
modores had their worst season since
football was installed at Vanderbilt
and rumors that Dan McGugin had
lost his cunning were common among
the supporters of the team.
The "comeback" that the Commo-
dores staged this year was due to the
coaching methods of McGugin and
his work on the team, in spite of the-
fact that he had some good material
with which to work, was the main
factor in the success of the south-
erners. The record which the Com-
modores established this year is one
which is unequalled by any eleven of
the old S. 1. A. A.
Vandy started the season by taking
its first game from the Middle Tennes-
see Normal College -by a score of 51
to 0, and repeated the shut-out in the
next game, winning by a 47 to 0
score from the S. P. U. Georgetown
College of Kentucky was touted as a
strong opponent in the next game,
but the Commodores broke their sea-
son's record by scoring 75 points
while the Kentuckians were helpless.
Vanderbilt dropped off 15 points in
the next game, scoring only 60, at
the same time holding Cumberland
University scoreless. Henderson-
Brown allowed the Commodores their
biggest score of the season in the
next game, losing by a 100 to 0 score.
Coach McGugin sent his men victor-
ious through two more games before
he struck the only defeat in the whole
season. The University of Mississippi
lost to McGugin's men by a 91 to 0
score, and in the next game "Brute"
Pontius' University of Tennessee
eleven lost to the Commodores 35 to
0. It is significant that when the two
Yost-coached coaches led their teams
off the field after the game each elev-
en felt that it had had its hardest
game up to that time.
Following the Tennessee game Van-
derbilt suffered its only defeat, being
beaten by a 35 to 10score in the game
with the University of Virginia. Vir-
ginia was the strongest team that the
Commodores met during the season
and the Vanderbilt team put up a
good fight in spite of the fact that
Virginia's eleven was one of the best
that that institution has had for a
good many years.
Auburn succeeded in holding Vandy
to a score of 17, but the Commodores
again held their opponents scoreless,
and walked off the field victors. Se-
wanee, in the last game of the sea-
son, had the McGugin contingent at
the short end of a 3 to 0 score whei
the last period began, but the Com-
modores pulled a remarkable "come-
back," and landed the title game by a
score of 27 to 3.
Outside of the work of Coach Mc-
Gugin, the greatest factor in the suc-
cess of the Vanderbilt eleven was the
playing of one "Rabbit" Curry, who
was wont to scamper through his
opponents for frequent touchdowns,
his longest run of the season being
one on which he carried the ball 75
yards for a touchdown.
The supporters of the McGugin in-
stitution are interested in the Yost
school of coaching and the "come-
back" of the Commodores under Dan
McGugin this year vindicated their
belief in the prophecy that Coach
Yost will be the man who is respon-
sible for one of the strongest elevens
in the country next year.
ILLINOIS AUTHORITIES MAY
REJECT DARTMOUTH CONTRACT
Urbana, Ill., Dec. 8.-Dartmouth's,
proposal to the Illinois athletic au-,
thorities for a two-game contract is;
being considered, but it is unlikely;
that the Illinois eleven will meet the
Green next year. The only chance for
the scheduling of these games is the
possibility that Illinois may break
from the Big Nine conference over the
baseball question.
The contract as proposed by the
Dartmouth authorities calls for the
scheduling of two games, one to be
played in the west and one in the east.
The western game would be played
either at the Illinois field or at Chi-
cago, while the eastern game would
be played in Boston.

furnish opposition for the Illini in
one of the early. season contests, was
the statement given out at the athletic
offices today. The game is scheduled
for October 14, and will be staged on

contests was the reason in dating the
easterners.

Dear Put:-
Gee, Put, you sure ought to have
went up to that dance Tue. nite foi
some of the boys certainly brung
some real queens.
I was lucky all rite, Put, because
my girl has a swell little auto all of
her own, and it is all enclosed just
like a regular limczine with them
glass windows and a roof and every.
thing, onely it is not nearly so big as
a limozine and there is onely room
for 2 but I ain't making no kick about
that, Put, for there was onely 2 of us
going so why should we need room'
enough for a whole train load or
something like that.
I ain't going to say nothing about'
my girl, Put, for I do not brag as you
well know, but if she wasn't the
classiest 1 of all them presunt, then
I am blind in botli of my 2 eyes and
,iying of old age, which aint the case
4at .ll for as yet I can not even vote,
like to all rite but you see how it is
,nd ht went away" like that was the
and of it, onely 2 dances later I seen
in dancing Tith her when it really
was Tom Reid's dance and Reid got
sore ,as he was going to miss out on
and I'll bet' she 'invented the art of,
Cancing' herself.
This here young Billy Niemann
v hat plays in ,the outfield for the
inicb. bgseball team come up and ast
me for a dance, but I had give too
many away even then so I said no
Biily I amu very sorry and I would
thebest dnce of te buch and that
is enough to make any 1 sore, and I
would not have blamed him none if
he bad of spoiled somie of Biil's good
Icois, but he held his temper,
'f this Niemann can steal bases
li: e can steal dances, when he
gets o istbase the catcher will have
to throw to 3rd and not onely to 2nd
like usually is done to head him off,
and seeing what he stole, Put, I mite
also say that his judgment is of the
very best and he uses his head all
the time, just like he knew just what
it was meant for..
Jack Watkins was there but he was
not in his usual form -at all for he
onely made 5 or 6 speeches, and any
nite when Jack onely makes- 5 or 6,
speeches and not 21 or 22 you can well
know there is something very wrong
with Mr. Watkins.
I am offen Hal Sm'ith for life. He
may be a grate runner but he ain't
even polite, for I was dancing with a
peach what lives over to the Cook
dorm. and he run out and said this
is a cut in dance, so goodbye my
friend, and I would not have cared
none, Put, onely she was a grate
dancer (ast don Finkbeiner) and it
made me sore. I give in though as I
did not want to start nothing rite be-
fore' the girl, and Smitty laffed and
said she does not seem very sorry,
and I said no but she will be in about
1 minute after you get through ride-
ing around the hall on them white
shoes of hers and I was rite, Put, for
1 cut in myself a minute later and
to. tell the truth I didn't see no tears
in her eyes at all and I looked pretty
careful, too.
She was eating some stick candy
like you used to buy 2 or 3 for 1c
when you was a little kid which Jack
Watkins give her. She waited until it
was most gone and then ast me would
I not like a bite, and if I had of took-
en a regular 1, Put, she would be min-
.s 2 fingers and a thum this morning
but I was polite and said no thank you
but when I cut in on Smith again it
was all gone, so you can draw your
on conclusions about this guy
Snmith.
Yrs,
HAL.
P. S.-If you see a little auto com-
ing down the st. 90 mi. per hr. some
day soon, you better get behind a
tree, as it will be I and the girl I
took to the partyband the wheel mite
slip, and then the onely persons you
would have to say merry xmas to
would be the nurses in the hospital
where you was recovering from your
injuries.
H. F.
P. S. S.-Maybe that would not be
so bad after all, eh Put?
