The juniors amassed 48 points, while their senior rivals were able to pile up only 31 1-2 of the counters. The sophomores breezed through the, meet in surprising fashion, and fin- ished only one point in the rear of the 1916 men. Ufer tied the Ferry field record in the half mile when he nosed out "Cap" Murphy by a scant three yards in a race which was fast from the gun. The time was 1 minute, 57 3-5 seconds, which was first established by Phil Jansen in 1913. Fox, the freshman captain, ran a pretty race in this event, and finished under the two- minute mark. Carroll had things all his own way in the mile, finally ending the distance' when he timers had clicked off 4 min- utes 24 3-5 seconds. Donnelly came through the two-mile distance in good fashion, while "Hal" Smith took firsts in both the 100 and 220-yard dashes. Fontana and Griest had a pretty bat- tle the first half of the 440 event, Fon- tana then going ahead, with Fox, of the Varsity, nosing out the senior in the last hundred yards. Cross hurled the discus over 130 feet. The summaries:: 100-yard dash: 1st heat-Smith (16), first, Scofield (18), second, Horr (19), third.

This ques- tion has assumed serious proportions during the last weeks of the spring training season in view of the way the candidates for next fall's eleven are coming out for practice. The coaches, all of them, and the athletic authorities are thoroughly dis- gusted with the way the men have failed to come out to work all season. The problem has grown especially since Line Coach Pontius has been in charge of the squad. With about 6,000 students enrolled in the university, the average turn- out for regular practice lately has been a little over nine men, while Princeton, by way of contrast, with only about 1,200 enrolled, has had an average of 80 men out regularly and has had almost three weeks of ftrim- mage. Syracuse Has Big Turnout Syracuse has had an average, of between 60 and 65 men out; Harvard has been complaining because only 24 men have been coming out, and yet this is almost three times as many men as Michigan is furnishing for the spring squad. Although about 55 men have signed up for lockers for the spring season, yet not quite of fifth of these men have been reporting with any regu- larity. Investigating Matter To determine the cause of this shameful exhibition, the coaches and the athletic office are investigating the matter. It is their unanimous opinion that one of the most potent factors in keeping the men away from the field is the present dance craze. Men who are numbered on the squad claim that they have not time for prac- tice, yet some of these same men, to the definite knowledge of the athletic authorities and coaches, find time to attend as many as three dances in one week. The exact cause of the delinquencies in coming out cannot be found, but whatever the cause may be, it is as- sured that the authorities are serious- ly angered by the lack of spirit. Teach Fundamentals in Spring Both Coach Pontius and Mr. Bartel- me have stated that they are con- vinced that the chief cause of the poor season of 1915 was almost altogeth- er due to the ailure of the men to get out and work. All the coaches state that it would mean just one month of hard work saved next fall if the men would come out now. The football season affords only about eight weeks of work, and the fall term should be devoted to the development of the team as a fighting LAST TIME TODAY THE TEN ACT FILM VERSION OF REX BEACH'S Marvelous story of Love, Romance and Adventure of Panama YoIt will always fitdhsaer - 1 2 QualityLo LowShoes for Spring and .And Reasonable Prices S -- In all leathers for all - $30 occasions HENRY & CO.

This is what the coaches want to do, but they are handicapped by the poor spirit of the men themselves. Doomed to Another Poor Season They say that if the men will not come out, Michigan is doomed to an- other such season as she had last fall, and they are tired of pleading with men to get out. The athletic associa- tion hasdone all in its power for the team and the men who compose the team, and now if they themselves will not get out and do something for Michigan, nothing to make a success- ful team can be done by anyon tl Next week it is probable that the names of the men who report for regu- lar practice_ will be publishedt every day in The Daily, and those men who do not get out will be the responsible ones. A meeting of all the football men will be held tomorrow night in an ef- fort to get at the botton of the whole ;)roblem and find out, if possible, why the men will not come out. Personals letters to all the men on the list are being sent out by the athletic to get them out for the meeting. At this meeting the members o squad will hear discussions o matter by Director Bartelme others. and >t is stated on good au it,- that some pretty plain facts be told to the men.
