(By the Associated Press)
Chicago, Nov. 8.-With indications
pointing to slow muddy gridirons, six
Western conference teams, and four
service elevens will go into action to-
morrow in struggles which are re-
garded as the most important of the
middle season.
Chicago will meet Michigan on
Stagg field in the first game between
these old rivals for 13 years, and 1111-
.nois will clash at Madison. Minnesota
wilt play at Iowa City. Purdue will
play the M. A. C. O. S. U., the 1917
,conference champions, will clash with
Case at Columbus, while Northwestern
will take on Knox college at Evans-
ton. Indiana will meet the Fort Ben-
jamin. Harrison eleven at Blooming-
ton, Ind.:.
Thirty-four strong, the Michigan
Varsity left last night for Chicago to
avenge the defeat of the 1905 Wol-
verine squad at the hands of the Ma-
roons, 13 years ago.
Douglass in Charge
With Coach Douglass in charge of
the men, while Lieutenant Dillon rep-
resented the military authorities, every
man-oi the squad was on the train
that left for the Windy City, Even a
cheer leader accompanied the bunch,
to lead the noisemaking for the Maize
and Blue.
efte o chi-
gan was held in Chicago last night,
to stimulate interest in the big con-
test. Coach 'Yost, the peer of all
football coaches, with Abe Cohn, the
smashing halfback and acting cap-
tain, were present at the banquet.
In the absence of Coach Yost, As-
ristant Coach- Douglass was in charge
of the light workout given the men at
Ferry field last night. Nothing more
than' signal practice was given the
,quad, with Jordan the sub quarter at
the pilot position, since Knode, the
regular pilot, also left early for the
scene of battle. ,
Steketee, Michigan's hope, and one
of the best punters that Coach Yost
has ever produced, was ordered to
kick the ball about the field a little
last night. That- was allthepra-
tice given the stellar freslhman.
The Yostmen 'willprance outron
Stagg field this afternoon in brand
new uniforms of the regular kahki
colored trousers and maize and blue
jerseys.
Don Springer, student manager of
the Athletic association, was given a
furlough yesterday by naval authori-
ties, that he might attend the contest.
The manager of the affairs of the
team left with the squad.
The team will stay at the Chicago
Beach hotel, which is but a short dis-
tance from the gridiron, while they
are in the city.
Large Attendance
Despite the fact that weather re-
ports are rather doubtful, everything
bids towards a record breaking crowd
being present. The contest of this
afternoon will be Michigan's initial
conference game this year.
Betting in foreign markets placed
the odds on Michigan, five to two last
night. Indications are that Michigan
will gain due revenge for the defeat
of 18 years ago. -
The Michigan Daily will maintain
special bulletin service at the Press
building during the progress of the
game this afternoon.
One new case of influenza was
found among the members of the S.
A. T. C. yesterday, the first one in a
week. No new cases of either pneu-
monia or influenza were reported to
Dr. J. A. Wessinger.
Conditions are such now that the
hospitals with their regular staffs can
take care of the few remaining influ-
enza and pneumonia cases. All S. A.
T. C. men on hospital detail will be
released from the work this morning.
About 50 men will still be detailed as
convalescent infirmary orderlies. At
the height of the epidemic there were
50 men on each of the three eight-hour
hospital detail shifts alone.
MEN BEING CHOSEN FOR
ARTILLERY0OrfI C ERBS
WILL GO TO CAMP ZACHARY TAY-
LOR SCHOOL, THE LARGEST
OF ITS SORT
Major E. G. Byers arrived here to-
day to select candidates from the S.
A. T. C. for the Field Artillery Cen-
tral Officers Training school, Camp
Zachary Taylor, Ky.
The school at Camp Taylor is to-
day the largest officers' training school
in the world and the only one in this
country from which field artillery offi-
cers hereafter will be graduated and
commissioned. Already, since the
opening of the training school last
June, about 4,500 have been commis-
stoned and there are now in training
approximately 10,000 candidates.
The school draws its candidates
from three sources, namely: the en-
listed personnel of the army, the S. A.
T. C., and civil life. There are now
in training there men of the highest
business and social standing from
practically every large city in the
COuntry. Among the candid es from
Niew York are included George F.
Baker, vice-president of the First Na-
tional bank; Stuyvesant Fish, Jr.,
Sumner Gerard, lawyer, and the broth-
er of Ambassador Gerard.
1,400 Men a Week Enrolled
With regard to the plans for the
school, Major Byers stated that ap-
proximately 1,400 men a week were
taken in. "We intend to ,take into
the school a continuous stream of
candidates," said Major Byers. "Men
of broad experience in professional
and business life are particularly de-
sired. In order to completely win
the war our army must be efficiently
officered, and it cannot be done if its
officers are young, inexperienced men
who have had no opportunities to de-
velop qualities of leadership.
'The more prominent position a
man occupies, the more it is his duty
to volunteer his services at this time.
[f the leaders do not take the lead,
the large majority of those who follow
will hold back."
Full information regarding the
Field Artillery Central Training
school may be obtained from Major
Durkee.
ENSIGN CARL BINTZ, '18E,
ARRIVES HERE ON FURLOUGH
Ensign Carl Bintz, '18E, arrived in
Ann Arbor yesterday to stay until to-
night. Bintz went to Pelham Bay
naval training station last Mty with
11 other engineers recommended by
the engineering college faculty be-
cause of high scholarship. He was
,later transferred from Pelham Bay
to Hoboken, where in August he re-
ceived his warrant as machinist.
Ensign Bintz made a trip to France
as junior watch officer on a merchant
ship. He received his commission as
ensign about the middle- of October
but has not as yet been assigned to
a ship. Bintz has been home on a
furlough and will report back to New
York tomorrow.

DR. WISHART HERE
TO PUSH WAR WORK
Dr. Alfred W. Wishart, of Grand
Rapids, former Y. M. C. A. secretary
in France, addressed a meeting of the
.women's committee held at 3 o'clock
yesterday afternoon in Barbour gym-
nasium. Judging from the enthusi-
asm evidenced by the members of
the committee, Dr. Wishart accom-
plished his aim-that of arousing zeal
for the United War Work drive.
He began his address. by stating
that the $175,000,000 asked for is..only
a portion of the amount needed. "The
need of the army and navy," he said,
"has grown beyond all expectations.
This need will last at least 12 months
longer and possibly for two years. Cer-
tainly the men will not come back
.before a permanent peace has been
declared."
The war has given men a hunger
for learning, comparable only to the
Rennaissance. The American Libra-
ry association is satisfying that want,
as the Y. M. C. A. and Y. W. C. A. are
satisfying the physical hunger and
comforts of life.
Dr. Wishart also addressed a meet-
ing at Lane hall, held to organize
united war work among the S. A. T.
C. and the naval unit. This branch
of the work will be taken care of by
the unit commandants, Major Durkee
and Admiral Berry. These gentlemen
have made themselves responsible for
the pledges of their men. Lieut. H.
C. Bayliss, recently wounded in
France, also addressed the meeting.

One would say that the trenches in

are quite two different things. They.
had a good deal in common, though,
last night. Rev. A. W, Wishart of
Grand Rapids, who has returned from
France with the Y. M. C. A. and was
on the above mentioned fields of
France last winter with his friend,
Lieut. H. C.. Bayliss, had not seen his
friend since then or known of his
whereabouts.
Rev. Wishart was ready to exhort
the girls of Martha Cook to support
the United War Work campaign, when
another guest, unexpected and - un-
heralded, entered the dining room.
The girls who were decorously trans-
ferring food from plate to mouth were
startled by a cry of glee and surprise
as the Rev. Wishart, guest and speaker
of the evening, jumped from his chair
and rushed at the newcomer. Neither
of them had known that the other'
one would be there and for all they
knew, each was still wading through
'the mud of France.
