1918. THE MICHIGAN EWLY THE MCHIGA DAIL BSKTBLL! NDERL' PW1AYITL UNIERSITY - ---.-- - - - CONFERENCE MEETING WILL DE.- CIDE UPON ELIGIBILITY OF MEN Basketball at the University of Michigan now rests upon the decision that will be reached by the meting of conference representatives in Chi- cago this afternoon. Questions of el- igibility and schedules will be thrash- ed out at this meeting. The initial step toward the sport being taken up at the University again this year, was taken by Coach Mitchell 'this week when he issued a call for! candidates. Gym Now Intlse Waterman gymnasium, the place where the games are held and where practice Is carried on, is at present, in the hands of military authorities, and is being used as a barracks. It will be necessary to clear the place before practice can be held. It is hoped by athletic authorities, that the place will be cleared within a short time. It will depend, however, on the rapidity with which the men receive their discharges. A wealth of good material is com- ing to the attention of Coach Mitchell, despite the fact that there are but very few veterans in school. A num- ber of the football men, who have had experience in the court game, have reported and will be given tryouts. Grid Men to Try Out Dunne, fhe fast end of the Varsity gridders is out, while Fortune and Morrison, guards on the football team, will also be in the running. Vick, Coach Yost's stellar center is one of the most promising candidates for the guard position. This, however, brings up the ques- tion of whether freshmen will be elig- ible for the squad. It will be up to the conference meeting of this after- noon, to deide npon thiequestion SHIPPING ON LAKE SUPERIOR SHOWS INCREASE FOR SEASON (By Associated Press) Marquette, Dec. 6.-There are very few boats now plowing the icy wat- ers of Lake Superior. Only the most hardy skippers dare to seek, at this perilous season of gales and blizzards, the high rates paid for cargo carrying on this great body of water this late in the year. The past season has been, for Lake Superior, one remarkably free of mar- itime disasters. Questions were ask- ed a few days ago as to the where- abouts of two trawlers, built for serv- ice across the Atlantic, which had sailed from Fort William for the sea- board. Loss .of both ships and lives on the northernmost of the great lakes has been small this year, hew- ever. The season has been a remarkably good one for ore shippers, 1917 car- goes averaging 5,188 tons, compared with an average of 5,868 tons this year. There has been a big increase in total amount of ore shipped from here this year, the figures reaching 827,676 tons. OVERSEA AIRMEN ARE BEING SENT TO CUSTER HOSPITAL Camp Custer, Dec. 6.-Two hundred and fifty airmen will arrive in 10 days at Camp Custer for demobiliza- tion from overseas duty. Other units will follow, as efforts are being made to send all men here whose homes are in this section. Ten wounded fighters, all Michigan boys, arrived at Custer today to have their Chateau Thierry wounds attend- ed to at the Custer base hospital. Two had lost their legs, one was minus a foot, one suffering with a paralyzed arm, and nearly all had more than one wound stripe. Already about 20 officers have been discharged. The surplus of men in the depot brigade will probably be dis- charged within a few days. The whole camp have now left their tents for the barracks.

Some one will be at the field, to let the men in the locker rooms, when they appear. Track practice will be held in Waterman gymnasium as soon as it is vacated by the soldiers, Doc. May, trainer, announced last night. Workouts will also be held on the outside track. Medical School to Show M1'ovies Col. Vigtor C. Vaughan, of the de- partment of medicine, predicts the rapid development of the motion pic- ture in teaching, especially in the field of science. He brought with him .on this trip to Ann Arbor several films produced by the instruction lab- oratory of the army medical museum. At present these and similar pictures are being used by the army in in- structing medical officers at the vari- ous training camps. This method of instruction has been thus tried on a large scale and found very success- ful. After the present conditions have settled down, copies of these films may be loaned by the army to vari- ous schools, passing to each in rota- tion. Other pictures will be taken, especially of surgical operations. The only handicaps at present are the nov-i elty of the scheme and the cost of films to the limited budgets of the medical schools. Six teams representing companies in the Oberlin college S. A. T. C. have completed a successful football sea- son. The intercompany league was organized early in the fall. Forty men reported i for the first basketball practice at the University of Kansas. Gymnasium work for those not in the S. A. T. C. has start- ed there, and classes for the others will commence as soon as the demob- ilization is finished. The University of Minnesota swim- ming team which has started practice recently, needs plungers and back- stroke men, to have a well balanced team. The basketball game scheduled be- Wisconsin and Beloit has been post- poned since neither team has been able to practic 6 regularly. Great dif- ficulty in getting gym floors to prac- tice on is still puzzling the athletic officials. Ohio's Eligibility Rules Announced The Ohio football conference, made up of 16 teams of that state, has de- cided to return to the eligibility -rules in effect before the S. A. T. C. came into existance. This year's freshmen will not be allowed to compete until two semesters of viork has been com- pleted. But all men who completed this year are eligible for three more years which in an exception since in past years they have only been allow- ed to participate three years alto- gether.

LIBRARY PRINTING PLANT MOVED TO NEW BUILDING The printing plant and the bindery have been moved into fresh head- quarters in the northeast corner of the new building.
