I i THREE TEAMS TIED FOR IRST HNRS Six More Games Will be Played Indoor Baseball League Before Christmas In the SOPH LITS LOSE BOTH GAMES Six more indoor baseball games will be played before the holidays break into the season. The games will be played tonight and Saturday night at the usual periods, three games each evening. Two teams have been drop-, ped from the schedule on account of two forfeits each. the J-medics and the fresh laws. These two teams fail- ed to show up for two games each on the last schedule, and a similar rule will be enforced during the remainder of the season. The standing of the re- spective class teams to date has been mapped out by the Intramural office. The team ranking follows: Team-- Won Senior Engineers ... 2 Junior Engineers... 2 Fresh Lits,...... . . 2 Junior Lits .. .....1 Junior Laws.........1 Architects...........1 Pharmics............1 Soph Engineers... 1 Fresh Engineers,......I Junior Medics......0 Fresh Laws.......... 0 Soph Lits...........0 According to this chart Lost Pct. 0 1.000 0 1.000 0 1.000 1 .500 1 .500 1 .500 1 .500 1 .500 1 .500 1 .00 0 .000 2 .000 the senior engineers, the J-engineers and the fresh lits are tied for first place, with two games won by each and none lost. Six teams have won one and lost one. Two teams forfeited both of their games while the soph lit aggregation is the only team in the league which has lost both games outright and it is the undisputed holder of the cellar title. Although the entire schedule for the season has been arranged by the In- tramural office, the following 'games will be played before the Christmas holidays: Tonight, at 7:00 o'clock,' architects vs., soph lits; at 7:40 o'clock soph engineers vs. J-engineers; at 8:20 o'clock, J-lits vs. fresh lits. On Saturday, December 18, these games will be called: 7:00 o'clock, archi- tects vs. fresh engineers; at 7:40 o'clock, pharmics vs. senior engineers; at 8:20 o'clock, J-laws vs. soph engi- neers. 1 Intramural Director Rowe said yes- terday that it is possible, if not prob- able, that a three-game series will be played at the end of the season for the indoor championship. Whether the high teams will receive numerals is not yet known.

'15.-Harry Legore, the former Yale star on the gridiron and diamond, is said to have received at least six offers from dif- ferent major league teams to join their ranks.

This step taken by the Board of Directors yes- terday needs but the sanction of the upper board of the Athletic associa- tion in order to be adopted. It was also provided that the mem- bers of a team winning the M. A. C. meet and those of a team placing in the Eastern Intercollegiate meet, shall be awarded a track shirt and a low- cut jersey bearing the above insignia. In case the action is approved, the three members of this year's team which won at East Lansing will re- ceive the new form of jersey. Two additional assistant inter-col- lege managers, L. C. Heustis and .. W. Thomas, were choen to fill va- cancies. Petitions from the senior lits, soph lits and fresh dents, requesting extra numerals for this year's football teams, were denied by the board. It is hoped that by holding down the classes to the number of numerals granted them by regulation, much can be accomplished toward the solving of the too-prevalent numeral situation which now exists on the campus. KENTUCKY MEN HOLD SMOKER IN ANTICIPATION OF TRIP HOME All Kentucky men, who are going home for Christmas on the special car, held an informal get-together smoker at the Union at 7:30 o'clock last night. , The car will leave the Michigan Central depot at 3:30 o'clock Tuesday afternoon.

This mark was es- tablished several days ago by Griest himself, and on the next day Simmons joined the select class.. Inasmuch as this mark has been reached by Griest before, he gives every indication of developing into a most promising can- didate in clearing the cross-bar. Those candidates who are out for, the pole vault are confronted 'with something of a handicap in their ef- forts to get some real practice with the stick, as at present there is no mat in the gym suitable for a nice soft landing for the men as they come down from their elevated position. However Coach Farrell has promised that a new mat will be in readiness right after the holidays so that aspir- ants may get down to real work as soon as schools opens aguin. In future all cars stop at Goodyear's Drug Store. t1 BROWN WILL PLAY WASHINGTON STATE ELEVEN NEW YEAR'S DAY Pasadena, Cal., Dec. 15.-Contracts have been signed here for the classic of the Pacific coast to be heldhere: New Year's day, when Brown univer- sity clashes with Washington State university, the far west champions.

The THE DAILY SPORTOSCOPE I Michigan Daily $1.50 ---la I "THE PLOT THICKENS" The recent baseball complications in the Big Nine will be followed with considerable interest by Michigan stu- dents and alumni. When the senate of the University of Illinois promptly vetoed the move- ment to abolish baseball in the Big Nine, difficulties arose, and the final settlement of the controversy may possibly see Illinois withdrawing from the Big Nine. This action is unlikely. for it would- seem,an ill-advised move for the Big Nine to permit Illinois to slip away, but when all is said and done, trying to puzzle out the next move of the Big Nine is a hazardous proposition at best. ThE surest system is to fig-, ure out the logical procedure and then assume that the contrary will pre- vail. But for the recent action taken by Illinois, conference baseball would be abolished now. The prompt and decisive step taken by Illinois, how- ever, effectually checked further pro-. ceedings, at least until the end of the 1916 baseball seasomi. Conference ruling., are such that an objection by a single institution is sufficient to defer farther action until the end of the year, and since Illinois balked, the question was automatically tabled until next June. Although nothing definite can be learned, it was understood that all of the Big Nine delegates had been in- structed how to vote, which means that apparently they were unanimous- ly in favor of the abolition of base- ball. If this be the case, and if Illi- nois maintains her present stand in the matter, along about next June I the Big Nine may be known as the Big Eight. Feeling in Illinois is strong on the subject, and the campus seems to be united in backing the senate in its present stand. Talk of dropping out of the Big Nine has been heard, al- though the trend of opinion seems to favor this radical step only as a last resort. The conference board in Illi- nois is approximately as popular as it is here in Ann Arbor, Mich., and that is saying considerable in a sin- gle sentence. Illinois has won the western base- ball title 10 times in the last 16 years, and tied for first honors on one of the other occasions. In fact they seem to experience about as much difficulty in disposing of their western. oppon- ents on the diamond as the University of Michigan used to on the gridiron. Should Illinois withdraw, it is a pretty safe conclusion that her first step would be to get in touch with Michigan. In the meantime, the final settlemdnt of the question will arouse considerable interest here in Michi- gan, and further movements will be watched with interest.
