Coach RIFLE TEAM CHAMPION AS RESULT OF CONTEST Men Show Excellent Marksmanship in Last Match; Will Now Try for Place in Class "A" Had not MacNaughton of the Var- sity rifle team slipped up in his final frame in the shoot against the Missis- sippi Aggies yesterday, Michigan would now hold the high score title in class "B", but as it was, they suc- ceeded in tying for high score. Re- ports from the farmer team have not yet been received, but dopesters have already given the match to Michigan, since it will take some mighty fine marksmanship to top this tally. It was due to hard luck, more than anything, that "Mac" fell down, and the shooting of the team as a whole was remarkably consistent. The men have been practicing hard for this match, and now that the champion- ship of class "B" is practically as- sured for the Maize and Blue, they are putting forth every effort to land a place in class "A". As a result of yesterday's fine score on the part of the Michigan gunmen, Michigan now heads class "B" by a total of 23 points, Notre Dame being the next high con- tender for this honor. - s, - i A r '' ,; r,"r , ..

The entire track team will be handi- capped throughout the meet by the fact that they will be compelled to wear spiked shoes 'and to stage their performances upon the dirt, all the events taking place on regular earth. This fact alone will probably separate Michigan from several counters. Carroll will encounter a fast man when he toes the mark in the mile run with Waage, the South Bend star. Waage last Saturday finished a close second in the meet with Illinois. The time was 4 minutes 31 seconds for this event, which is many seconds faster than 'Les' has been clocked this year. McDonough won the 880-yard against the .Orangemen in 2 minutes 2 3-5 seconds, which goes to prove the Ufer and Murphy will have no easy time in their specialty. Edgrefz, of the Catholic school, also made a very creditable showing last week in the pole vault, going over the bar at only three inches under the 12- foot mark, and as Clark is the onl Varsity entrant in this *event, the In- diana school promises to score heav- ily in this part of the contest. An other man who is expected to -prove a big factor for Notre Dame is "Dutch" Bergman. Bergman is a jast man in the sprint, and also is a handy man to have around when the time for the shot put is announced. The contest between him and Cross is sure to be one of the features of the meet. "Pat" Smith, whose ineligibility was reported, will be able to- compete this year, contrary to reports, since his name was passed on favorably by the eligibility committee at its last meeting. HARVARD-YALE AND ARMY-NAVY GAMES TEST FOR POPULARITY Two Big Eastern Contests Scheduled for Same Day Next Season; Big Crowds Expected The probability that the Harvard- Yale and Army-Navy games may be played on the same day next autumn is likely to develop an interesting test of the sport's popularity in the east. According to the present plans, the service game will be played at the Polo Grounds in New York gn Satur- day, November 25. On the same day at New Haven, less than a hundred miles away, Yale and Harvard are scheduled to meet in their annual gridiron battle. The Yalenbowl, with temporary seats placed along the wall-top concourse, can accommodate more than 70,00 spectators, and there is not the slight- est doubt that every seat will be occu- pied. At the Polo Grounds, more than 50,000 spectators can be accon.- modated, so that if both games draw full capacity, 120,000 spectators will witness the play. To these figures .rust be added another 40,000 or 50,- 000 who will attend minor college or scholastic contests within a radius of a hundred miles. In the past, thousands of football enthusiasts have attended both the Yale-Harvard and Army-Navy games when they were played on succeeding Saturdays. Special trains have carried crowds from New York and Boston annually to the big college- classic at Cambridge. With a spectacular coun- ter-attraction, such as the Annapolis- West Point contest, on the same day, it will be interesting to see from what sections the two. big events will draw. In the case of the university game, virtually all the 70,000 seats are sold at two dollars each, giving a revenue alitchell had him warm up a short time today, with Dick Harte receiv- ing. Mitchell and Mahan are well3 acquainted and the Harvard coach has already seen the crack Crimson athlete in action, as he pitched, against the Boston Braves last April.I Today also marked the first ap-1 pearance of Dick Harte, the varsity1 backstop. Harte last year played hockey in the winter, with the result that he reported in too fine a condi- tion after training through a long season. This year this versatile athlete forsook the ice for the gridironl where he starred as a regular end on the varsity eleven. Like Mahan, he is fresh from a long rest and in prop-l er condition to go through the lengthy baseball term. DEPLORES LACK OF INTEREST IN INTERCLIASS TRACK WORK Director Rowe Disappointed at Small Number of Men Out for Relay Teams Interclass track is languishing for want of interest and candidates, Intra- mural Director Rowe said yesterday that during the past week and more it has been his belief that not more than a half dozen men had been out to work for either the interclass meet orl for any of the relay teams. He seemed rather disgusted .at the lack of en- thusiasm and pep which the classest are exhibiting and especially the poor showing which the managers are mak- ing. It would seem from Director Rowe's authority that the managers are not getting their men out, and what is worse, are never in the gym themselves, all of which augurs ill for the success of the season. The four high relay teams receivel their numerals, a fact which warrants more interest and push than is being expended at present. Mr. Rowe fur- tier remarked that it would behoove the classes to show some pep and turn out for some of these teams if they expect the full measure of reward from the Intramural office. He was quite emphatic in all his statements a ad intimated that the classes would have to show something tangible in the near future before any schedule would be made out or any real com- petition started. Although the exact date has not been set, it is probable that the inter- class smeet willbe staged next Satur- (lay or sonme time while the Varsity is away. Class athletes should note this prospect and should get in shape. Smallpox Ends Albion Basketball Albion, Feb. 24.-All of the remain- ing games of the basketball schedule of Albion College, eight in number, have been concelled by the athletic board of control because of the great demoralization of the schedule'by the smallpox epidemic here: Albion was third in the M. I. A. A. basketball race, which will now be decided by Kalamazoo, Alma, Adrian and Hills- dale. Colored Sprinter Beats Meredith New York, Feb. 24.-Binga Dismond, colored sprinter of the University of Chicago, finished seven yards ahead of J. F.

Macklin ex- plained his reason for not scheduling an eastern game by saying that the colleges on the other side of the Alle- ghanny mountains have refused suffi- cient guarantees to make the trip a financial success. As football is de- pended on mainly to support Aggie athletics, the financial consideration influences to a considerable extent the scheduling of games. The Michigan Aggies' 1916 dates follow: Sept. 30-'Olivet at M. A. C. Oct. 7--Carroll at M. A. C. Oct. 14-Alma at M. A. C. Oct. 21-Michigan at Ann Arbor. Oct. 28-Open. Dispatches from Dallas, Texas, state that the two greatest track stars in the Lone Star state are booked forf Michigan when they complete their "prep" school education. Michigan athletic, authorities know absolutely nothing about the two boys in question, which shows that the re- port has originated solely in Texas. This speaks well for the probable authenticity of the story, since it un- questionably started with the lads themselves. Both are now attending school in Dallas at the Hardin high. Tom Lemon, who is at present the more prominent of the two young athletes, broke the Texas interscholastic record for the broad jump recently when he leaped 23 feet. A week later he cleared 22 feet 8 inches, jumping from a muddy take-off. When one considers that there isn't a single broad jumper in the University of Michigan who can jump 22 feet consistently, and not one who even claims to have cleared 23 feet at any time, a fair' estimate can be gathered of Lemon's abilit. Lemon is also a sprinter and has been credited with 10 seconds flat in the 100-yard dash. He is but 18 years old, and shows won- derful promise of developing, for he is a comparative novice at track work and has been working with the spiked shoes for only a little over a year. Charles Roberson, a team-mate of Lemon's, is credited with two minutes flat for the half mile and in addition to his work on the cinders, Roberson is a star baseball player and an ex- cellent basketball man. Dallas dispatches assert that al- though it is some time since Texas has produced a collegiate track not- able, nevertheless when these two boys enter college, the Lone Star state bids fair to attract considerable atten- tion in the big show. Since Eby's failure to enter Michi- gan, the rooters are leary of advance notices, as Eby's inability to come was governed by something beyond his own control. At the same time, both Lemon and Roberson are now fig- uring on enrolling at Michigan when they graduate from high school. captain of the University of Califort swimming team, won the 880-ya race here Tuesday at the annualm: Pacific swimming carnival, and bro the American record, whioh he tablished himself.
