THE MICHIGAN DAILY iNEXT MONTH I N TO START SEASON MONTH; MICHIGAN BACK NEXT MINNESOTA, OLD RIVAL SCHEDULED FOR NOV. 13 Chicago, Northwestern, Minnesota and Ohio State to Oppose Yostmen in November With four conference games sched- uled as the opposition for Michigan's pigskin stars during the month of November, the season of 1918 promis- es to be more interesting than in a number of years. The final decision of a committee of representatives from all of the con- .ferexice teams which met in Chicago, has given the Wolverines an interest. ing list of opponents for the war au- thrzdgames. Northwestern to Start With Northwestern to start the se- ires at Ferry field, November 2, Yost's proteges are going to be given a taste of the strong stuff right off the reel. The next Saturday will come one of the most looked for games of the season when the Maize and Blue warriors will journey to the second U. S. city to engage the Unl- versity of Chicago teams. A great amount of interest is being shown in tli~s contest, not only by the fans of the two teams, but by the football interested public in general because of the peculiar circumstances sur- rounding the game. Thirteen years ago Chicagohput one over on Michigan when they tan away with the game on a safety. Since that time the two schools have never met, therefore, the Michigan gridders are anxiously awaiting the chance to score a more substantial point on the Chicago b u n ch .k Old Rval Next The following week Minnesota, the time honored Michigan rival, will come to Ferry field to meet the Maize and Blue warriors. This is practi- cally the biggest contest of the season because of the everlasting friendly rivalry that has grown up between the two schools. Michigan is of the opin- ion that the Ann Arbor gridders will come out on top, yet Dr. William' squad is said to be full of pep. Crit- ics are of the opinion that the Min- nesota pang is going to show some strenuous opposition to Coach Yost's designs. The result, of course, is dis- puted. Michigan fans are confident in their "turry-up" coach. Ohio State, Last The last conference game of the season will be played November 30 with the Ohio State team. Although the buckeye aggregation got a late start because of their S. A. T. C. or- ganization being delayed they are claiming to have a team that will carry the honors of the big ten. Last- season, they were the sensation of the conference with men like Chick Harley as their mainstays. In Ohio there is a great deal of interest shown in any contest where 0. S. U. and Michigan get together. Although the place for the coming battle between the two teams has not been decided upon the interested will only be in- creased, until the place is settled upon, Director Sure of Minnesota Although Minnesota is al long way from Michigan, the question of wheth- er the two teams could get together because of military restrictions was entertained. Athletic Director Bar- telme of Michigan asserts that the game will be played, and the confer- ece schedule has been made out ac- cordingly. BIG LEAGUE BASEBALL MAY BE BACK NUMBER NEXT SEASON New York, Oct. 8.-Major league baseball magnates face a knotty pro s- lem at the coming annual meetings when they will be called upon to de- cide the status of the player at pres- ent under contract or reserve. Very few of the club owners hold the opin- ion, apparently, that it will be possi- ble to resume league operations next spring. If such proves to be the case and there are few indications to the contrary, it would appear that the majority of players who figured in the 1918 pennant races will not receive contracts during the early months of next year. I FORTUNE Altho this man had not seen any ac- tion this season,he gives promise of big things an the Varsity eleven.' VARSITY GOOD] DEFENSEI IN PRACTICE If yesterday's practice is any indi- cation of the strength of the team Yost will put on the field Michigan need have no fear for the coming big Conference games. The Varsity and the second team scrimmaged for an hour, and although neither team was able to push the pigskin over the goal line, it was because of remarkable def ensive playing. Twice the first team carried the ball to within one foot of the goal, but each time the scrubs stiffened and turned then back. -The outstanding feature of the scrimmage was the evenness of bal- ance between the two teams, they see- sawing from one end of the field to the other throughout the whole of the battle. As soon as the goal line was approached, the attack failed be- fore a stone wall defense. While the Case game uncovered a few stars, yes- leg during the- practice but probably that should any of these be injured, there will be a large number of capa- ble substitutes ready to jump into the game. Suffice it is to say that Yost is wearing his old-time smile these days. Cohn received a slight injury to his leg during the parctice, but probably will not be forced out of the game. Usher's ankle, which was injured in the Case game, is healing rapidly, and the Toledo boy will likely return to work out in a few days. In spite of the fact that one ankle ligament was torn, Usher was down on the field yesterday. GERALD FROEMKE PLAYS ON NAVAL AUXILIARY ELEVEN Gerald Froemke, formerly halfback on Yost's 1917 football team, and now in training at the United States Naval training school at the Municipal pier, Chicago, is holding down the quar- terback job on the eleven representing that station. The team will meet Chi- cago university at Stagg field Satur- day, arrangements having been made upon the cancelling of the Minnesota fray, which was to have been played with the Midway team on that date. Recently, the training school eleven defeated Knox, 41 to 0. Fronke is remembered principally for his famous 90 yard run to a touchdown in the Nebraska game on Ferry field. Although mainly used by Yost as a halfback, he generaled the team from the pilot position in the Michigan-Northwestern battle, and, had considerable experience during his freshman year, at quarterback, so is not without previous training at the position which he now holds. The naval eleven is composed largely of former college players, Minnesota, Northwestern, Notre Dame, North Da- kota, and Washington and Jefferson being represented. High School to Play Saturday Ann Arbor high school has schedul- ed a football game with Plymouth high school to be played at 10 o'clock Saturday on Wines field. The teams are evenly matched and the game promises to be a fast one. Ypsilanti high school was scheduled to play here Saturday but cancelled the game Monday. HIGH SCHOOL SHOWS DECREASED ENROLLMENT BOYS MUST TAKE FOUR YEARS OF CYM WORK; GERMAN PRAC- TICALLY ELIMINATED Along with everything else, Ann Arbor High school is feeling the ef- feet of the war this year. The most noticeable result is the decrease of boys enrolled in the junior and senior classes. This is accounted for not only by the fact that a great many have entered military service but al- so that a large number who have brothers and relatives in service have been called upon to bear the financial burdens of their families. In many cases where this is not the case, the high wages offered to men and boys who are not subject to call has prov- ed an allurement to youths of high school age, and Ann Arbor High has felt a decided slump among the boys. New requirements have been made in regard to physical education. By the new ruling, four years of gymna- sium work is compulsory for all boys. The last two years of this work may be replaced by a military training course under the supervision of Frank Raymond, physical director, who was formerly a lieutenant at Camp Custer. There are 100 boys now enrolled in this course and they re- ceive training from Mr. Raymond in military methods and drill. The foreign language department is now under the supervision of Pierre S. Zampiere, a native of France and an instructor in the University of Chicago for the last five years. He teaches French, Spanish and Greek. As in all schools this year, there was an overwhelming popularity for' French. The classes have been dou- bled and are all full.bBeginning courses in German have been elimin- ated and only the advanced classes are continuing their study. Even in these classes there has been a decided decrease as many students elected French instead. Ann Arbor High school is peculiar inasmuch as a majority of the students are of German origin, but G. J. Ray of the Board of Education, :says they have had absolutely no trouble with them and a true American spirit has been professed by all. .Reginald ? He 's In The Army Now Behold the regular Herpicide "be- fore 'n after" change in the enlisted personnel of this, our campus. Only cast a critical eye at the average S. A. T. C.'er as he rehearses his salute between the passing occifers; observe the way he carries what is left of his shoulder after shoveling coal for six hours; note the manner in which he snaps around the corners on his way to hash, the bloody glint of determin- ation in his eye at the mere thought of the food-snatch, and the fact that he is almost always, or at least near- ly always, in step these days. But above all, consider the fact that even amidst the most harrowing memories of food and sheets, he still whistles "Smiles" and doesn't run it into a minor at the end either. S.A.T.C. FRESHMEN ALLOWED TO PLAY The new rules regarding Conference football eligibility allow all men who could have played under last year's ruling, and all the men in the S. A. T. C. to take part in all Conference games. At a recent meeting of the coaches and athletic directors of the Conference football teams this abridgement of the old rule, making all freshmen ineligible to compete in inter-collegiate athletics was made. This new ruling will make it pos- sible for any freshmen in the S. A. T. C. to get a chance to compete in the big games. Upperclassmen are not effected by the change and as usual can take part in all contests. Those not eligible in Conference games are needed for the reserve team, and can do their part by giving the varsity some strong competition in the scrimmages. It is hoped that they will not be discouraged by the ruling, and that they will practice in the hope of playing next year. Preserve your Michigan traditions. Subscribe now for the Daily, $3.50.
