SRIFLE MEN TOTAL 90
AGAINST KANSAS AGGIES
ileNaughto Leads With Score of 199;
Class B Results Not Yet
Receh ed
In yesterday's shoot of the Michigan
rifle team against the Kansas Aggies,
the Ann Arbor squad rolled up one
of the best scorcs of the season, with
a total team count of 989. McNaugh-
ton led all other contestants with a
high score of 199, and following close
behind him was Captain Wilcoxen,
with 1.98, and Curtiss with the same
mark. The next three men tied with
197 each, but as only the five high
men are counted on the team score,
one of these marks had to be dropped.
Because of the fact that a new man
is in charge at headquarters in Wash-
ington, no Class B scores have been
received by the . local team. How-
evee, from the showing of other teams
of this class in the past, it is thought
that the Michigan men are leading
everything in their class and pushing.
pretty close to the A division.
Although the scores were not re-
quired to be filed with the National
Rifle association until January 29,
the Michigan team's total was wired
in last night, and it is expected that
the score of the Kansas Aggies will
be in the hands of the local club by
the last of the month.
Following is the score of yester-
day's shoot:
ATHLETIC TROPHY CUPS AREF
RLECEIVED BY ASSOCIATION
Cross-Country and Tennis Awards
Display; Rnner-Up Trophy
on
Won by Switzer
Trophy cups have just been re-
ceived by the athletic association to
be awarded to the cross-country and
tennis stars of the past season. These
awards are now on exhibition in Moe's
athletic store. They include the cham-
pion tennis cups and the cross-coun-
try prizes.
The tennis trophy, won by Ralph
Oster in last fall's open tournament,
receives the most admiration, while
the cup won by "Eddie" Carroll in the
handicap cross-country meet is one of
the most beautiful of the awards.
Beside the trophies won by Carroll
and Oster, there is the runner-up
trophy, won by Jack Switzer in the
tennis tournament, and cross-country
cups for Foster, Quivinen, Comloquoy,
Murphy and Matteson. The last two
won their honors in the novice race
for track men during the past season.
SCHULZ SEEKS ST, LOUIS JOB
Yost's First Assistant Looking for
New Field
According to news received here yes-
terday, Adolph "Germany" Schulz,
Michigan's veteran line coach, has put
in an' application to coach the football
team of St. Louis university.
Schulz was center for Michigan in
1904, '05 and '07, and captain of the
team in 1908, selected as center of
Walter Camp's All-American eleven in
1907, and retained as center for the
All-Time All-American eleven. He
was line coach for Wisconsin in 1910
and 1911, and has also served as line
coach for Michigan since 1912.
Bill Edmunds, coach of Washington
university, the other big college of St.
Louis, is doing everything in his power
to have the Schulz application favor-
ably acted upon by the athletic au-
thorities of St. Louis university, al-
though the two schools are great ath-
letic rivals.
Edmunds and Schulz roomed togeth-
er while attending Michigan and play-
ed on the same forward line. "Schulz
knows all about football that there
is to know," says Edmunds. He coach-
ed Wisconsin for two seasons and
they turn over the credit for their
subsequent western championships to
him.
WINNING INDOOR TEAM
MAY RECEIE NUMERALS
Director Rowe Gives Board in Control
of - Athletics Plan for Pre-
senting Insignia
At a meeting of the Board in Con-
trol of Athletics yesterday afternoon,
Intramural Director Rowe presented a
proposition to the effect that numer-
als be awarded to the winning indoor
baseball team. It has been known
for a considerable length of time that
Director Rowe would place the matter
before the board in control for con-
sideration, but with the intermittent
and rather spasmodic exhibitions of
interest on the part of the teams
making up the league during the early
part 'of the season, it was a doubtful
i:sue.
Numerals will be given to the mem-
bers of the team finishing in the first
place at the close of the season. This
gives only those teams that are in
the league at the present time a chance
for their insignia and the winning
team will be determined by the high-
est percentage. A committee has been
appointed to investigate the matter
and provide for the form which the
insignia will take. It is probable that
something in the line of a monogram
will be decided upon and designed for
the winners.
Considering that this is the first
season of the new sport at Michigan,
it is quite a credit to the interests of
the classes in athletics and to the
organization and initiative of the in-
tramural department that insignia
should be awarded the winning team.
All the credit for class interest belongs
to the teams now playing and to their
good sportsmanship in continuing to
play out the season without hope of
reward and after the majority of the
teams that came out during the first
part of the season had dropped out.
At present the pharmics are the high
bidders for the campus championship,
as well as for the newly promised class
insignia. They have not lost a game
and have won four straight. The J-
engineers are next in line and have
won three out of four games played.
The senior engineers rank third with
two games won, two lost and one gamee
tied out of five played. Before the
soph engineers were admitted to the
last round on the schedule, there were
only five teams left in the league and
as a consequence in order to play off
three games each night the senior
hammer wielders were selected to
play a double header on the first night
upon which the schedule went into
effect. That night they won from the
architects and tied with the fresh lits
in the last period of play.
During the first part of the season
the senior engineers looked like a
championship aggregation and played
a wonderfully fast brand of ball for
over a month. Apparently nothing
could touch their battery, as comprised
by Des Jardins and Trelfa. They were
a powerful bunch of swatters and
broke up nearly every game with a
slam fest. Then Des Jardins was
found to be ineligible and the seniors
lost the most valuable pitcher in the
league. From then on, when Kirch-
gessner began his spectacular work
for the pharmics, the seniors have been
playing hard teams and have steadily
dropped down, owing one of their de-
feats to the pharmics.
Tonight's schedule is as follows:
7:00 o'clock, architects vs. fresh lits;
7:40 o'clock, senior engineers vs. soph
engineers; 8:20 o'clock, J-engineers
vs. pharmics.
Below is the standing of the various
teams to date:

JONES PROBABLE SELECTION
FOR YALE GRID COACH JOB
New Haven, Conn., Jan. 26.-It has
been decided to select Tad Jones, for-
muer Yale quarterback, and member of
the All-American football team, as
chief coach of the Yale football team
for the coming season. Although offi-
etal confirmation is lacking for the
report, it is practically agreed on the
campus that Jones is the man who will
shortly be announced as the head
coach.
The committee having the matter in
charge is to take formal action at its
meeting in a few days. A favorable
attitude on the part of the student
body is evident on the campus since
the report got abroad, and an optimis-
tic feeling for Yale's chances during
til e next gridiron season is prevalent.
CORNELL SIGNS MOAKLEY
AS TRAINER FOR 10 YEARS
Ithaca, N. Y., Jan. 26.-Announce-
ment has been made by the University
Athletic Association of Cornell, that
Jack Moakley has been signed up for
anciher ten years as trainer of the
Varsity track squad. Moakley first
carm: to Cornell in 1899 and for the
last 17 years has had charge of the
track team.
If he serves out .his present con-
tract, he will have served 27 years
for the Red and White, a record which
is unequalled in this line of Varsity
sport.

TRACK AND FIELD TEAMS TURN
OUT IN GOOD NUMBERS IN GYM
Distance Men Work on Outdoor Oval;
Fontana and Walls Make
Appearance
Michigan's 1916 track and field teams
were well represented in the turnouts
in the gymnasium yesterday, as a,
great increase of men over those out
the day before was realized during the
afternoon.
Coach "Steve" Farrell is still work-
ing all of his distance runners out of
doors on the new oval. If the spring
weather keeps up much longer there
is no doubt that his proteges will find
themselves lost in the small inside
of the gymnasium. Some of the can-
didates, however, prefer the old track
in the gym to the out of door naviga-
tion and are confining themselves in-
side, the fine weather notwithstanding.
"Steve" took Fontana in hand late
in the day and sent him over the four-
lap route against his watch. The
quarter-miler succeeded in setting the
record for the season in this depart-
ment when he negotiated the course in
the time of 1 minute' 4 3-5 seconds,
which is good enough for so early in
the year.
Walls, the giant sophomore shot-
putter, made his reappearance follow-
ing an attack of la grippe, thus round-
ing out the coterie of shot heavers to
their full capacity. Walls is somewhat
indisposed following his illness and
took only a short workout, but showed
that his sickness has not interfered
with his ability to hoist the lead mis-
sile.
C BEVENS TO LEAVE SCHOOL
Star Linesman of All-Fresh Gives Ill
Health as Cause for Departure
C. H. Bevens, star linesman on
the All-Fresh gridiron team during
the past season, will leave the univer-
sity after the present semester.
Bevens, who played a guard position
for the Douglass outfit last fall, was
one of the best forwards which the
freshman coach was able to put into
the field. Fast and rangy, weighing
around 190 pounds, this lad was one
of the fighters of the team, and was
just the style of man whom Coach
Yost is seeking in order to stage a
big "Michigan come-back" next fall.
Being a tower of strength on both
offense and defense, this husky could
always be depended upon to give the
best that was in him, and many of the
results of last fall's freshman contests
may be attributed largely to him. His
loss will be a severe blow to the "Hur-
ry Up" coach, as there are not many
men in school who are of the type of
moleskin men which the coach pre-
fers.
Ill health is given as the cause for
Bevens' leaving school. For some
time the tall lad has not been in good
shape, and his physician has advised
him to abandon his studies in order
that his health may not suffer more.
ORANGEMEN SUPPORT SIX.
SPORTS DURING WINTER
Variety of Pastimes Occupice Eastern.
ers; Basketball Oly Tarsity
Activity
Syracuse, N. Y., Jan. 26.-Syracuse
during the winter months supports si
forms of sports, the pastimes that o-
cupy the students being basketball,
wrestling, swimming; boxing, fencing
and bowling. The most important ol
these is basketball, and it is the only
one of the sports which is engaged in
as a Varsity athletic activity.
The Varsity was defeated by Army
alone last year, and so far this year
the team has defeated the quintet from
Yale, holders of last year's Intercolle-
giate Basketball League title. Dart-
mouth, Pennsylvania and Princeton of
the league are also to be mat by th
Orangemen this year.
Ix-Captain Smith of the Browr
swimming team coaches the swimmers
who take advantage of the tank ever
Tuesday and Thursday. The pool of-
fers ample dimensions, being 90 feel
long by 30 feet wide. It has all the
required equipment for a water-pok
team which has been a dream of th
past, but promises to become a real-
ity in the near future.
The other lesser sports are taker
part in by but few men, and excep
for bowling, which has a large lis
of supporters, do not figure as im-
portant events in the winter progran
of sports at Syracuse. The fact tha
hockey is not supported here is du
to the mild winters which fail to at
ford the natural requisite of ice, anc
to the fact that there are now n
means for installing an artificial pe
since the enclosed arena has bee
transformed into the "Battery A" gym
nasium.
The basketball team usually draw
out a large number of candidates, th<
figure this year being about the aver
age for tryouts. The squad, whici
number a little over 50 men .at th
beginning of the season, has been cu
to 10, which number is maintaine
throughout the playing year. Inter
est is further stimulated in the spor
by the institution of an inter-fraternit:
league which draws a large numbe
of men into active participation.
Wrestling is a sport which is rap
idly coming into the limelight. Un
der the tutelage of T. R. Johnso
Varsity right tackle, about 30 me:

Wrestling is accepted as a substitut
for regular gym classes, and a tour
nament is held along in March of eac
year. The winners in the differen
weights receive medals for their e
forts. Efforts are already on foot t
secure intercollegiate matches, and i
is only a question of time before th
sport will be established as one c
the minor Varsity pastimes.
About 200 spectators turn out to se
the class swimming relay races i
which each man sprints two length
of the tank.

THE DAILY SPORTOSCOPE
Grantland Rice pays Neil Snow, the
former Michigan athlete, a great com-
pliment when he mentions Snow as one
of the greatest all-around men the
world of sport has 'ever seen.
Snow won 12 letters at Michigan in
four years, which is a mark that has
never been equalled. Rice says in
part:
Around one of the Campfires of
Sport a night or two ago a number of
keen students of many games were
attempting to pick the greatest all-
around athletic marvel ,this common-
wealth has ever produced.
The subject is one of abiding inter-
est, for there have been many who
followed varied sporting activities and
who in these various lines reached high
places.
One Familiar Case
There is, for an often-used example,
Christy Mathewson.tMathewson isone
of the three greatest pitchers that
ever lived. By many he is listed as
the greatest. His place in baseball is
at the top. At Bucknell he was a
first-class fullback; so at football, an-
other major sport, his rank is well up.
He isn't a star golfer, but he is a
good one. He is a good trapshooter
and if that might be classed as a sport,
a chess player of unusual ability. So
here is Mathewson's field-baseball,
football, golf, trapshooting, chess and
checkers.'
The Collegiate Array
The colleges show more all-around
talent than the big leagues. Charley
Brickley was a star football player, a
good baseball player and sufficiently
adept at track and field play to make
the Olympic team.
Tom Shevlin was an all-around star,
but neither Shevlin nor Brickley holds
as high a rank as Elmer Olighant, the
West Point wonder, who is a star en-
try at football, baseball, basketball
and track. Oliphant is the best all-
around athlete now in college. He
hasn't an equal for widespread effi-
ciency.
The Case of Snow
Undoubtedly one of the greatest was
the late Neil Snow of Michigan. Snow
stood as one of the great football
players of the game. He was an all-
American end and a great plunging
fullback. As a ball player he batted
over .390 for Michigan his last two
years and received at least three good
offers from big league clubs. He was
one of the best college first basemen
that ever lived.
On the track Snow could high jump
around six feet; he could put the
shot 45 feet; he was a fine hurdler.
Taking both quality and quantity, we
should say that Snow was the equal
at least of any man that has been
mentioned.
Thorpe the King
But if the crown is to be awarded,
the man entitled to the best claim is
Jim Thorpe, the renowned Indian, who
upset the social status of Sweden and
rent asunder the A. A. U.
Thorpe must be listed as one of the
greatest football players of the game.
More than one will give him first
place, even above the magic of Mahan,
or the power of Ted Coy. He could
kick, run, pass, block, tackle, duck,
dodge and smash. In baseball he was
good enough to reach the big league.
In track work he was good enough to
win the all-around championship of the
planet upon which we are making.
brief and stormy abode. He was a fine
runner and a great jumper. He could
peg the javelin and toss the discus.
Wherever placed he was a star.
Thorpe's athletic average was un-
doubtedly the hfghest of the lot. He
could not do quite as many things as
Mathewson, but his range was nearly
as broad, and in the major fields of
sportive endeavor he held a trifle
higher place.
