I 1dI I Athletic Board in Control More Representative 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. CHEMICAL STUDENTS TO VISIT DETROIT PLANTS THIS WEEK Members of the class in chemical technology of carbon compounds will visit several Detroit plants on Friday and Saturday in their second inspec- tion trip of the semester. The Itinerary of the trip is as fol- lows: Friday, Morgan & Wright com- pany, rubber products; Berry Bros., varnishes and shellac; Parke, Davis & Co., Saturday, Armstrong Tanning company, Acme White Lead & Color works, and Detroit City Gas company, station A, coal gas, water gas, and Pintsch gas. Students who wish to make the trip are requested to sign the slip in Prof. A. H. White's office, room 208, chem- istry building. 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.

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? H.F. Buy your Mazda lamps at Switzer's, 310 South State. oct23tf Learn the new fox trot at the, Packard Academy.
