To ek a freshman for the full back sition on an eleven made up of the w best players in the country has en done but seldom in the history the game ,and particularly in the st decade when the majority of cob ges and universities have not been rmitting first year men to play on eir teams. The honor that has been ven Michigan's 18-year-old kicking ck is a great one both to Steketee mnself, and to the University. It is likely that he was chosen be- use of his performance against Sy- cuse. Walter Camp, throughout the ars he has picked an All-American am, has been partial to the eastern ayers and this year in this regard s beenno exception. Because Stek- e scored all of the points against a strong invaders from the east, and o because he is one of the best ckers in the country at the present ae, he was given the preference er more experienced, and older en. Camp Always Critical The Yale critic's official team has ways come in for more or less crit- sm each year upon its appearance Colliers magazine, because of his ry apparent favoritism to the east. en in the years that the western hools have been the victors in the ersectional games and have proven emselves the equal of the . coast yers, Camp has not changed his] etics. . rhis year has been such a year. .e west has performed well in all a games played against elevens an along the Atlantic seaboard, th service and university. Although re were few clashes between the ipools of the two sections both the eat Lakes and the Municipal Pier tms played several games with east- i elevens and won them all. Pitts- rg, admittedly the best aggrega- n of gridiron players east of Ohio, re defeated by the Cleveland Naval serve team ,who before had been 'eated by the Municipal Pier eleven o 0. The Municipal Pier early in season defeated Illinois only 7 to which proved according to dope, of irse, a poorbmethod, that Illinois )ld have 'been able to beat the st in the east. As Michigan has rer recognized the superiority of the inois, and because they defeated racuse, supposedly the second best ,in in their section, 15 to 0, dope ems to point to a victory for the )lverines also in case of a battle h the team from Pennsylvania. Goetz Best of Yostmen :amp's choice of but one man from s section of the country certainly nes in for some just criticism. ose who have followed the Michi- i team during the past season are animous in their opinion that Cap- a-elect Goetz was the best. individ- played on the Wolverine eleven, was given a position of tackle on third team while Usher, the big racuse tackle, was placed in this qtion on the first eleven. Usher eared poorly as compared with etz in the game played between two teams here. )eples of Illinois was picked at ter on the second team and is ne from the west in this choice. the third team Goetz and Eck- g of Minnesota at half back were only ones who were honored. don of California was picked from far west as guard on the third m and sevral men from the south e picked on the second and third ms. One from Georgia Tech was lored by being placed on the first m. The rest were chosen from the tern schools that put teams in the Athletic Director Philip G. Bartelme desires that the fol- lowing men call at the athletic office in the Press building to be measured for their "R" jer- seys: Clash, Hyde, Daniels, Gerger, Kerwin, Gingrass, Lillis, Smith, and Rosenquist. TRACK PRACTICE TO START MONDAY -With Waterman gymnasium now completely renloated and painted up, "Doc" May is issuing another call for both Varsity and freshman track mate- rial. "Doc" May will do the coaching work himself until Steve Farrell re- turns, u sng the same system that has been in vogue, in former years. The Varsity and freshman track candi- dates are asked to report next Monday afternoon at 4 o'clock qnd the new' men are asked to have a slip of paper giving their names and the event which they wish to, try out for. Due to the late start that is being made on the Varsity team this year, the organization of the class teams will be delayed until the Varsity is well 'under way, according to "Doc" May. Whether or )not there will be a University rifle club will depend on hlow 'tke other athletic activities get started and has not been definitely de- cided as yet. BASKETBALL IS TO HAVE NO MANAGER The Varsity basketball team will go through the 1919 season without the services of a student manager. No one was selected last spring becuse of the.. inexperience , of those who tried out. The court game has had only the one season attMichigan, and has not had time to build up a corps of student managers, as the other sports have. It was therefore decided by the athletic authorities this fall that no one in school had experience enough for the positions. The work will be handled by the coaching staff and the force at the athletic office. . Later in the season it is probable that a call will be sent out for try- outs for the positions of assistant manager Announcement of this will be made later. Daily want ads bring results.

Letters have been sent to all of the colleges and universities of the asso- ciation calling attention to a meet-' ing of the association here Jan. 26, at which the proposed amendment will be considered.

Call Off Indoor Meets It is further proposed that resi- dents, as members of the S. A. T. C. and thereafter, without interruption as regular students, shall be' regard- ed as complying with the require- ments of the association. Another proposed change would eliminate the' requirement for a full calendar year's residence of those who have won places in inter-collegiate or open com- petition as a condition precedent for the 1919 championships.'
