Prof. Aigler to Represent Michigan
in Called Session of Big Ten
Oficials
COMMITTEE TO REPORT AFTER
CONSULTING WITH GOVERNMENT
Status of Football in West May Be
Settled; Minnesota Game
Uucertain
The status of football at Michigan
as well as other Conference schools is
still uncertain. Prof. Ralph W. Aig-
ler left yesterday for Chicago to at-
tend the meeting of Big Ten officials
which will be held there this morn-
ing. The report of Prof. Reece of
Ohio State university, and Avery
Brundage of Illinois. who went to
Washington to consult with the gov-
ernment will be read, and it is ex-
pected that some definite information
will be learned.
Athletic Director Philip G. Bar-
telme said last night that he expected
a telegram this afternoon from Prof._
Aigler telling what the report con-
tained, and just how Michigan would
be affected. There is a chance that
the government may have modified the
original instructions to commandants
at the universities.
Try to Keep Gophers
Nothing more is known regarding
the Minnesota game. Every effort is
being made by both colleges to keep
the game on the schedule and if there
is any way to arrange it the teams will
surely meet. The commandant at
Minnesota so far does not seem to be
very favorably disposed to allow his
men to make the trip.
The University athletic board has
taken no action on the proposal of a
Chicago sport writer that the game be
played at Chicago. If arranged it
would probably interfere greatly' with
the other Conference game to be play-
ed the same date in the Windy City..
Indiana is also making a bid through
the newspapers for Michigan to meet
the Hoosiers at Indianapolis on the
day the Gophers were scheduled to
play there. As regards this game the
board has not considered it at all.
Case to Be Here
A letter has been received from the
athletic authorities at Case saying that
their team will be on Ferry Field sure
Saturday, unless something interferes
between now and then. The Case game
has -been the first on the Wolverine
schedule for a number of years. It will
give the University its first chance to
see its war time fighting team in ac-
tiou.
Captain Andrew T. Knight, inspec-
tor of the S. A. T. C. for Michigan,
Wisconsin, and Indiana said yester-
day that there would be no more gov-
ernment interference with athletics in
the states mentioned than was abso-
lutely necessary. He will -not- only
try to keep the sports going as fully
as In peace times, but will also en-
courage them as far as possible with-
out interfering with military work.
This applies to both intra-mural and
intercollegiate games.
Knight Favors Sports
Being a great believer in football as
a developer of fighting men the cap-
tain said yesterday that were it pos-
sible he would try to get every man
enrolled in the S. A. T. C. into the
game. He would do this by detailing
them by platoons with their officers,
and make every man play. The neces-
sity for whipping the units into a
good military organization, together
with the shortage of officers, precludes
any such action, however, he said.
According to the government ruling
during October there can be no trips
longer than can be made Saturday
afternoon. During November, how-
ever, two trips can be made which re-
quire overnight absences. The text
of the government's message is as
follows:
"It will be the policy of the com-
mittee strongly to encourage athletic
sports wifhin each institution, and
among neighboring institutions in cas-
es in which the distances are so short
as to necessitate no interruption of
the weekly schedule of academic and
military training.
"Athletic sports as formerly pur-
sued involving extended trips and spe-
cialized training, are inconsistent
with the soldiers' program of drill and
study. Athletic directors and pro-
fessors of physical education who are
already in the employ of S. A. T. C.
institutions, can be used in connection
with intra-mural sports, and for the
assistance of the officers in charge of
military training."
Allow Two Trips
The time allotted for training and
study for the students' army training
corps will be found to preclude for its
members such football or other sched-

ules as have been customary among
colleges in past years. All practice
for football or other sports by sold--
iers must be in recreation periods and
not decrease time allotted for drill and
study. It is desired that no games
involving absence for a night be play-
ed before November 1, and that dur-
ing this period games be confined to
intra-mural sports except for local
Saturday games calling only for trips
that can be made Saturday afternoons.
After November 1, not more than two
games involving absence over-night
may be permitted; and furloughs for
the purpose may be granted for mem-
bers of teams, provided that no fur-
loughs shall be granted to soldiers
not maintaining satisfactory standards
of. military and academic work. No
trips involving an absence longer than
from Friday night to Sunday night wi
be approved.

EIGHT LAST YEAR
MEN ON CASE TEAM
Eight old members of the 1917 Case
eleven will meet on the gridiron Sat-
urday afternoon with Michigan's var-
sity. For some time it was doubtful
whether there would be a strong Case
team, but the situation at the present
time is bright.
A week ago it appeared to be doubt-
ful whether Michigan would have a
game with Case. Athletic- directors
feared that the war department would
postpone all week-end trips. The
Case men, however, will arrive in Ann
Arbor in time to play on Ferry Field,
according to a letter received yester-
day.
Following is the list of old men on
the Case eleven:
Tan Hooper, Finklestien, Vander-
aoof, Rogers, Roblee, Stevenson, Hou-
ret and Captain McClune.
YOST TO HELP SUPPLY A. E. F.
WITH GRIDIRON UNIFORMS
New York, Oct. 2. - William .,H.
(Big Bill) Edwards, former Princeton
gridiron star and collector of inter-
nal revenue for this district, announc-
ed yesterday that he was organizing
a committee of football men from all
parts of the country to supply 500 foot-
ball suits for use by the American
expeditionary force.
He had just received from Johnny
Evers, now overseas as an athletic di.
rector, an appeal for the suits. Ed-
wards said that among those named
on his committee were Walter Camp,
Percy Haughton, Al Sharp, F. H. Yost,
Bob Folwell, Jim Thorpe, and Glenn
Warner.
Make World's Record In Shipbuilding
Philadelphia, Oct. 3. - The Emer-
gency Fleet corporation yesterday re-
ceoived a telegram from the Grays
Harbor Motor Ship corporation, Aber-
deen, Wash., announcing it had built a
4,000-ton deadweight wooden ship
from keel to water in the world's rec-
ord time of 17 1-2 working days for
this type and tonnage of vessel, either
steel or wood. The vessel, ready for
launching, is 96 per cent complete.

CAPTAIN BURKEE WILLING
TO CO-OPERATE IN SPORTS
WILL ALLOW FOOTBALL MEN ALL
PRACTICE ORDERS
PERMIT
Captain Durkee, commandant at the
University, has informed Athletic Di-
rector Philip G. Bartelme that he has
no objections to his men practicing
football, consequently there will be
practice every day hereafter from 4:30
to 5:30 o'clock. The last two days'
practice has been carried on without,
the presence of several of the men.
Under government instructions it is;
impossible for a commandant to grant
more time, he informed Mr. Bartelme,
but he is willing to cooperate with
the University athletic officers to the
limit of his instructions.
Yesterday a small squad was pres-
ent and the hour was spent running
signals and in general practice. The
Case game Saturday will be the first
real test of the material Michigan pos-
sesses this year, and it is probable
that a great many men will get into
the game. Yost will undoubtedly use
all of the men who appear to be of
sufficient ability to be considered first,
choice men.
Case has returned several of its
varsity mentand it is understood the
team is strong. However, with the
presence of several Michigan veterans
in the lineup, and the undoubted
strength of the material the Wolver-
ines should take the game without
much difficulty.
DOth Track And
Basketball Cut
Basketball and indoor track are
practically impossible this year at the
University, due to the taking over of
Waterman gymnasium by the military
authorities.
It might be possible to lay out a
basketball court in Barbour gymna-
sium, but only a very few could at-
tend, which would make intercolle-
giate competition impossible. The fact
that there would only be one floor
would prevent the game being used in
physical training.
Indoor track is out of the question.
The floor of the gymnasium is cov-
ered with cots, doing away with the
possibility of field events, and the
track is also in such shape that
there could be little running.
Consequently the Wolverines will
probably not be represented in either
sport.
MINNESOTA LETS COACHES 60;
FOOTBALL AT STANDSTILL
Minneapolis, Minn., Oct. 2. - Foot-
ball at Minnesota yesterday was prac-
tically at a standstill as a result of
the action of the athletic board of con-
trol in turning over its power to the
military officials at the school. The
board at the same time announced
that as far as it is concerned the con-
tracts of Coaches Dr. Williams, Leon-
ard Frank, and Sig. Harris had term-
inated and would have to be renewed
by the war department, unless these
men chose to work without salaries.
Coaches' Status in Doubt
The commandant at the university
could not be reached to ascertain
whether the war department would
take care of the salaries for the tutors,
but some definite action will have to
be taken or the Minnesota team will
be without coaches.
In turning over its power to the
military men the athletic association
agreed to act in an advisory capacity,
but refused to make up any deficit in.
the athletic fund if there is one at
the end of the year.
Coach Not at Practice
The Gopher squad practiced yester-
day, but Dr. Williams was not there.
He could not be found and no one]
could explain his action.
The initial game of the season'
scheduled for Saturday between the
varsity and the Gopher all-stars has
been called off because of the uncer-
tainty of athletic conditions.
MUCH CONFUSION AT MANY
CONFERENCE FOOTBALL CAMPS
Word from the various Conference
football camps shows universal con-
fusion in the practices of the past few
days owing to the organizing of the
S. A. T. C.'s at the different universi-
ties. Since Tuesday little has been
done in the way of preparation for
the opening games, mostly scheduled
to be played Saturday.
Illinois, Iowa, Northwestern, Wis-
consin and Indiana are being troubled
with the same difficulties as are be-
ing experienced by Coach Yost. None
of these will have any advantage in
quantity of practice and although no
word has been received from the other *
Conference schools, it is believed that *
they have been likewise hindered in *
their work. Tomorrow all schools willI*
be on a more organized footing and *
the coaches here hope to reopen
team practices tomorrow.
