Athletic Director Bartelme Succeeds
In Arranging for Big Games on
Three Programs
COURT CONTESTS NOW ASSURRED;
GRID AND DIAMOND DATES SET
Athletic Director Phillip G. Bartelme
returned yesterday from Chicago, with
a series of the choicest athletic sohed-
ules that he has ever offered to the
Maize and Blue student body. The
football games for 1919 have been ar-
ranged for, while basketball and base-
ball programs for the coming season
have Also been completed. Track
alone, remains undecided.
The .season opens as usual with the
scientists from Case. The next Sat-
urday is an open date. This may not
be filled, as Conference itles allow
only seven games. Then 'comes as
strenous a series as Michigan teams
have ever faced; six strong games in
a row: M. A. C., Ohio State, Northwes-
tern, Chicago, Illinois, and Minnesota
on six successive Saturdays.
Five Ganes at Home
The student rooters will have fre-
quent opportunities to support the
team, for all but two games will be
played in Ann Arbor. The great day
of the season will be the closing game
on Nov. 22, with Minnesota at Ferry
field. This should come close to mak-
ing a new record for the Michigan
stadium, now held by the Penn game
of 1918.
Of the other Conference schools,
Illinois plays all her seven games with
Big Ten opponents, meeting everyone
but Northwestern and Indiana. Chi-
cago has six Conference games, drop-
ping her Minnesota struggle to make
room for Michigan. Michigan, Min-
neseta and Iowa have five league
games. Indiana again broke into Big
Ten schedules, after an absence of a
year.
The schedule was published Sunday.
tBasketball Assurred
All doubt about a basketball team
at Michigan this year was settled
when eight Conference games were
scheduled. The rest of the schedule
will be filled out with M. A. C., Case,
and smaller colleges. Of the five
played last winter Minnesota and In-
diana are dropped, and Illinois add-
ed. Four Conference games will be
in Ann Arbor, Illinois opening the sea-
son, Feb. 1.

season are left open. Seven Confer-
ence games will be played at Ann Ar-
bor.

cation, and ends with Illinois June 7

HERE TOMORROW
The physical examinations of the
navy unit men "previous 'to release
from active duty will start tomorrow.
Before being released each man must
be examined and receive inoculation
and be vaccinated by the medical au-
thorities. The order in which the men

DISCHARGED MEN TO BE
STARTED

M. C. A. will be continued as long
as the military units are on the cam-
pus, the National War Work Council
having sent assurance of its support.
This news was welcomed by the lo-
cal board of the Students' Christian
association, as no provision had been
made for financing the work In the fu-
ture.
Parties Are Planned
The "Y" is planning a series of par-
ties during Christmas week for those
who remain here over the holidays
and the schedule will be published
later. Following the vacation, the ac-
tivities will be the same as those in
vogue with the civilian students, al-
though some of the special features
of the military work will be retaned.
It has not been decided whether both
Lane and Newberry halls will be kept
open, although the former is certain
to be used. The firniture which was
installed last year in Newberry may
be returned to Lane hall.
Bureau at Newberry Hall
With the aid of the War Camp Com-
munity Service, the "Y" will institute
a campaign to furnish employment for
discharged men. Mr. N. C. Fetter will
be at Newberry hall every morning
next week, and Mr. Francis Bacon will
be there from 4:30 o'clock to 6 every
afternoon to interview men who de-
sire employment.
The boardxof directors will meet
within the next few days to go ver
the details of the readjustment. It
is expected that the present staff of
secretaries will remain in their posi-
tions. The student cabinet will at
once make the plans and supervision
of the work for the remainder of the
semester.
Detroit Pastors
Call Down Hobbs
Prof. W. H. Hobbs was called to or-
der while making a speech before the
Detroit Pastors' union yesterday
morning for making partisan remaks
concerning President Wilson. He was
interrupted by the Rev. Joseph A.
Vance of the First Presbyterian
church, and the Rev. R. W. Nixon
of the East Grand Boulevard Meth-
odist church, while in the midst of a
tirade against the President..
"I object to this man's using this
organization to launch a partisan at-
tack on the President," said Dr. Vance.
Other members of the union ob-
jected to his interruption on the
ground that it would be discourteous
not to - let Professor Hobbs proceed.
He was finally allowed to continue.
ARCTIC EXPLORER AND NOTED.
AVIATOR TO SPEAK HERE SOON
Vilhjalmaor Stepanson, the discov-
erer of the "Blond Eskimo," and who

to Attend Theaters or Any
Gathering
FIGUREN FROM STATE SHOW
RISE I NUMBER OF CASES
Twenty-six cases of influenza and
five of pneumonia with two deaths as a
result of pneumonia, have been re-
ported to health officer J. A. Wes-
singer of this city since Dec. 5.
Dr. Wessinger stated that every pre-
caution is being taken to prevent a
second epidemic of the disease. He
urgedthatpeople shouldavoid meet-
ings where close contact is neces-
sary. People with a high temperature
or slight colds should go to bed and
remain there till well.
Dr. Wessinger also said that if peo-
ple would only use proper precautions
the necessity of placing a ban on pub-
lic gatherings would be avoided.
Guards Posted at Theaters
No information could be obtained
yesterday as to whether there are any
cases of influenza among the men of
the local military or naval units. Men
of both corps have been forbidden to
attend theaters or any public gather-
ing where large numbers of people as-
semble. Guards were posted in front
of all theaters last night to prevent
any man in uniform from entering.
Men of the naval unit will not be
given out-of-town passes or week end
leaves until the influenza has disap-
peared again. It is not belived that
reappearance of the disease will inter-
fere with the dismissing of the men
from military or active naval duty.

ment of the Methodist church and

tee of the War Camp Community serv-
ice, church directories are being dis-

COLLEGIATE ALUMNAE MEETING

cussion of general business was fol-
lowed by an interesting program.

Grinnell College Has Quarter System
Although the academic side of Grin-
nell college is on the three quarter
system, the financial end is on the
semester plan, that is the fees are
semi-~a nnn il
NEWL REGISTRATION
INCLUDES ALLMEN
Non-Military Students Must Re-gis-
ter.. Failure to Do so
Means Drop
FEES TO BEGIN AT TIME OF
DISCHARGING OF S. A. T. C.
All students in the S. A. T. C. and
naval unit who do not re-register im-
mediately after their discharge or re-
lease, are no longer students of the
University, according to the college
officials. Students who are not in the
military organizations must also re-
register and those failing to comply
with this request will cause a great
deal of confusion on their part at the
end of the semeste.
Civilians Begin Wednesday
Beginning with Wednesday the ci-
vilian students should re-enroll at
once, the S. A. T. C. men as soon as
they receive their discharge papers,
and the naval unit men as soon as
released. In the literary college the
students should call at the registrar's
office, in the other colleges at the sec-
retary's office.
To Drop Men Not Enrolling
As the men are demobilized their
names are turned into the respective
offices, and there filed with the old
registration cards. If a student fails
to re-enroll, the secretary of his col-
lege takes it for granted that he has
left the University. Although the stu-
dents do not need to get permission
to leave school, as was formerly the
custom, yet all who desire a state-
ment of their standing or credits, may
call at the dean's office of his college.
Fees Are Adjusted
University fees for the remainder
of tie year, 1918-19, for discharged
army and navy students, may be learn-
ed at the secretary's office. In the lit-
erary college the fee for re-enroll-
ment during this week is $34.06 for
Michigan resident students, and $48.36
for non-Michigan resident; $44.06 for
Michigan resident students who are
just coming back to college, and $73.36
for non-Michigan resident. These fees
will decrease at the rate of about $2
a week. Nevertheless a student's fee
dates from the time he is discharged
and not when he re-enrolls. g
Godowsky's Place
to be Ably Filled
Serge Prokofleff, the sensational
young Russian pianist, is to take the
place of Leopold Godowsky in the pre-
festival concert Saturday, Dec. 14. Mr.
Godowsky is unable to fill the engage-
ment because of an operation which
he is undergoing in Portland, Oregon.
Mr. Prokofieff is a young Russian
whose debut in. New York a week ago
created an unexpected furore in the
musical life of that city. His profes-
sional talent has been developed amid
the terrible turmoil which has beset
his native country during the past few
years. He not only won many ova-
tions there but in a recent tour cov-
ering most of the musical centers of
England he was everywhere acclaimed
as the sensation of the day. After
his New York debut, Huneker, who is
recognized as the dean of musical
critics, devoted more than a column
and a half in one of the leading New
York papers in praise of this new
genius.
Mr. Prokifieff belongs strictly to the
modern school and while his programs
contain a goodly portion of numbers
from the old school, the public may
look forward to several novelties com-
posed by himself or other modern
writers.

NEW COMPANY FOR
UNDISCHARGED

ical examination of all men in the S.
A. T. C. will be completed when com-
pany 16 is put through this after-
noon. All of section B and some of

disease or disability, are being form-
ed into a new company, the 17th. In
addition men who have not at been
assigned a serial nun:er by the War
department will be placed in this com-
pany as they cannot receive their dis-
charges until local authorities are in-
formed of such numbers being given.
The men who are held because of
physical reasons will not be released
from the army until they are cured.
They will probably be sent to the
hospital at Camp Custer when the post
here is abandoned.
Enough 0. D. woolen uniforms have
been received by the quartermaster
to outfit every man in both sections of
the S. A. T. C. Several companies
have already been issued the woolen

CLASSES IN MILITARY FRENCH
TO CHANGE TO REGULAR WORK
Courses in elementary French here-
tofore given over entirely to military
French, are now being changed to the
regular courses which build up a
grammar foundation first.
Military French placed more stresa.
upon certain phrases and expressions
common to the French people and
which would greatly aid the S. A. T.
C. men should they reach France. But
now that the war is over, more time
is to be spent on laying a solid gram-
mar foundation as is usually done in
such courses. Until the students who
have taken the military courses get
caught up with the other classes.
more intensive work will be given.
