Ray Mills and his corps of assistants in preparation for next spring's Interscholastic meet. It is planned to make this year's meet the largest in the history of the Michi- gan Interscholastic,'and with that endt in view a list of all athletically prom- inent high schools in the country is being compiled. The date has not up to this time been finally settled, but it is quite probable that the event will again be staged about the-middle of May. Def- inite announcement of the time will be made to the high' schools which are selected, in the form of some spe- cial invitation. The close race between La Grange Ill., high,,school and Lewis Institute, of Chicago, for first honors in last year's clash, gives promise of some interesting sessions when the two come together again this year. The entrance of other prominent high schools which have not heretofore ap- peared is sure to. furnish the La Grangers competition of such a nature as to keep them on the jump if they wish to retain the leadership which they gained last spring. All assistant interscholastic mana- gers are asked to meet at the offices of the Athletic Association in the Press Building on Maynard Street at 4:00 o'clock this afternoon, when ini- tial plans will be outlined. Manager Mills has also issued a call for all sophomores in the university who wish to try out for the position of assistant manager. It is essential that the second-year men who are in- terested in the interscholastic mana- gerships attend the Meeting in the athletic offices this afternoon.

THE DAILY S o Indoor Baseball Games on Tonight Athletes Will Be alloird to Iecuper- ae: Three -ames Willi Be Played Tomorrow Nigltl In accordance with the policy of the intramural office as followed after holidays, namely, to allow the class athletes time to recuperate from their strenuous exertions of the vacation period from the University, there will be no indoor baseball games tonight. It is hoped that this will give the vari- ous managers time to get in touch with theumembers of theiraseveral teams, count thle missing, and lay plans accordingly. The rest thus pro- vided should improve the character of the contests tomorrow* night, when' three games will be called. At 7:00 o'clock the J-lits will meet the architects in the first game of the schedule after the vacation. This game will be followed by a battle between the soph engineers and the senior en- gineers, the game to be called at 7:40 o'clock. In the last period of the night the harm ics and the J.-engineers clash, the duel to begin at S8:20 o'clock. MAY GET PRACTICE SEASON FOR CLASS BASKETBALL MEN Intramural Department to Take Steps to Secure Gym; Ask All Managers to Report Steps to secure the use of Water- man gym for the class basketball men before the season opens will be taken by Intramural Director Rowe,, thus enabling the teams to get in some preliminary practice on the evenings on which the class indoor players are not using the floor. In the past no practice prior to the announcement of the schedule has been afforded the basketball players, and they have had to start without much team work having been devel- oped. Under this new system, if it is followed by Secretary Smith, the Intramural office expects to have the teams in shape two weeks earlier than in previous years. The playing season will probably not begin until after the examinations are over, bit the managers of the class teams are asked to see Director Rowe in the Intramural office as soon as possible. It is expected that they will be ;able' to start their men on the 20- minute practice sessions in the near future. Governor Ferris Passes 63d Year Lansifig, Jan. 0.-Governor Wood- bridge N.

ATHLETES PREPARE FOR TRACK SEASON To hold First Meeting for Candidates Next 7uesday in Physics Building. 11/4 off l 1/40off rW SHOTI PUTTERS OUT IN We will offer our entire stock of Clothing FORCE The first real preparations for Michigan's 1916 track outfit began yesterday afternoon, when fully 30 candidates presented themselves at Waterman gymnasium for the prelim- inmary wvorkouts. Many athletes who had as yet to make "their initial "con- Ing out" for this season donned their suits and took a light workout in the endeavor to get the kinks out, and shake some of the dust from their uniforms. As usual, the shot putters were out in force, five of them working out with the 16-pound ball, and from this number Coach Farrell hopes to de- velop a team of first class men. A number of pole vaulters were also numbered among those present dur- ing the afternoon, and the men in this branch took the opportunity to try the new mat which has been com- pleted for them. The first meeting for track candi- dates will be held in the west lec- ture room of .the physics building next Tuesday evening. While as yet the program for the evening has not been announced, it is hoped to secure sev- eral good speakers for the evening's entertainment. NEW WRESTLING COACH AT PENN HAS HARD SCHEDULE Julian T.

East Lansing, Mich., Jan. 6. - The color scheme of the sweaters which are given to Varsity men has been abandoned, and instead of the old system of green letters on white sweat- ers a new idea has been substituted.

One of the most popular and fre- quently visited young ladies during the past two weeks, seems to have been Miss La Grippe. Perhaps one of the funniest sights that we've seen since returning from a Merry Christmas and Happy New Year, thank you, was the spectacle of a youn man industriously unpacking a trunk which hadn't moved since be packed it two weeks ago. A certain junior engineer who ad- mits that he lives in Cleveland, pains- takingly packed his things on the Tuesday that the university closed, and then promptly forgot to send the trunk. This slight oversight meant that the wardrobe on his back was about all that was immediately avail- able, although we understand that there are a few haberdashery stores even in Cleveland. Anyway, the young roan in question saved himself express charges and he probably gleaned lots of valuable in- formation regarding the highly scien- tific art of packing. Anyway, that game with Washing- ton University sounds impressive, and when we beat them someone may con- fuse it with the University of Wash- ington or Washington state and Michi- gan may acquire a real reputation--- though unearned. Suggested New Year's Resolution- I hereby firmly resolve not to. look, glance or peek .t my watch during classes, and with this noble purpose uppermost in mind respectfully re- quest that each of my profs shall station me upon the left of some fair maiden who carries the time attached to her wrist-fully exposed. Walter Camp--may he eventually rest in peace-now comes to the front with the statement that Oliphant should have been on his first All- American team in the place of Ma- comber of Illinois. Camp seemedto be having considerable trouble. with his teams last year-even more than usual if one can accredit this state- ment. On the front page of yesterday's Daily was one stpry announcing the dates of the football team and over in another column was a paragraph about the captain of this same team which indicated that his dates will be pretty well filled, too.
