!innesota will not play Michigan
is year.
Orders causing the cancellation of
e biggest game of the year were
aued yesterday by military author-
es when they finally came to the
nclusion that the school was too
r from Michigan to allow it to make
e trip.
'he time allotted to teams through
e leniency of the war department
not sufficient to allow them to re-

e cancellation was made neces-
Varsity men are to report at the
clubhouse at Ferry field this after-
noon at 2 o'clock sharp; Coach Yost
announced last night. Second team
men who are under the charge of
Coach Mitchell are to appear at the
clubhouse exactly an hour later.
One of the "hurry up" coach's right
to the point blackboard talks is to be
the object of the Varsity's early visit.
Lack of time, caused by military train-
ing given the men, has made black-
board talks as short and as "expen-
sive" as sugar in a self service restau-
rant. An hour will spent at the work
this afternoon.
Second team men will be talked to
by Coach Mitchell after which the
men will stage a scrimmage game with
the Varsity on the gridiron. The game
will start promptly at 3:30 o'clock.
Coach Yost pronounced the import-
ance of the blackboard talk, and says
that every man on the Varsity squad
is supposed to be present. Arrange-
ments with military authorities will
be made.

ARMY ATHLETICS
WILL START SOON
Mass athletics for the students'
army training corps, which will be
started shortly, will be under the di-
rect supervision of experts, having
their headquarters in Newberry hall.
As soon as the supervisor arrives a
definite program will be outlined and
put in practice.
Among the forms of exercise al-
ready decided upon are boxing and
wrestling. A ring will be erected to
train the men in these sports and
later it is hoped that some good
amateur bouts will be staged. Box-
ing is one of the most useful of all the
various kinds of athletics, in war
training and because of this fact many
of the large cantonments make it com-
pulsory for the men to learn to use
their fists.
It quickens a soldier, makes him
more proficient in the use of the bay-
onet, and gives him supremacy over
the enemy in a hand to hand encount-
er.

CHICAGO GRANDSTAND USED
AS BARRACKS FOR S. A. T. C.
Chicago, Oct. 11.-Peaceful snores
instead of whining winds will vibrate
through the huge concrete stands at
the University of Chicago athletic field
this fall and winter.
The stands have been taken over
by the government, and converted
into barracks for the student officers'
in training at the university. Tempor-
ary stairs were constructed along the
front of the stands to permit football
fans to gain their seats, as all en-
trances from beneath have been board-
ed up.
You will always find satisfaction by
adveritsing in the Daily.--Adv.
Big Game of Year
Although the contest was looked
forward to by Michigan football fans
as one of the biggest games of the
year, it will be necessary to fill the
date with some other team. Athletic
Director- Phil Bartelme verified the
report that the game was cancelled,
last night, and announced that ar-
rangements to fill the date would be
made later. As yet no team has
been -secured.
Probably next in interest will be
the Chicago contest which has been
creating a great deal of comment.
The victory of the windy city team
over the Michigan squad of 1905 still
holds sway in the minds of the fans
of both teams. The Yostmen, for
the first time since that game will
attempt to revenge their defeat, and
promise a victory.
There is some talk of advancing
the Ohio State-Michigan contest to
fll thedate that would have seen
M/ichigan opposed to its cold rival.
Tlhis, however, has not been con-
irmed, although it is probable. The
Buckeye university team, with the
confer nee championship in its pos-
session is claiming big things this
rear, and will probably make things
.nteresting whenever they do meet
Yost's squad of gridders, yet the
game would not be characterized by
o much enthusiasm as the Minneso-
a contest.
Scrimmage Today
Scrimmage will be the program at
Perry field this afternoon when all
attempts to locate some opposition
or the Wolverines fell flat. With
he original Camp Custer game book-;
d for today cancelled because of
'flu," Mount Union was engaged only
o cancel because of the school be-
zg under quarantine.:
Yost sent the regulars against thej
crubs last night for scrimmage,
hich proved that the line is gain-j
ng greatly along the agressive work.j
Vick, the Toledo boy, was workedj
nto the front bunch, having been
ransferred there from the backfieldt
ecause of the abundance of backfieldj
naterial. His work at the left guard
osition during the few minutes that1
e was in the scrimmage, showedt
im a star at the game. With more
xperience, he should be able'. toc
nake his position a battering one.
Perrin Hurt1
Perrin, the smashing back, sustain-c
d a bad cut on the head yesterday'
uring the practice when he hit the
ine for a long gain. It stunned himt
or a moment and bled profusely, yet1
will not keep him from the eon-

USHER
TO
AND CRESS APPOINTED
OFFICERS' TRAINING
SCHOOL1
'Michigan is losing two of her Var-
sity football players today through
their appointment to officers' training
camps, and one other will leave in
the near future. Usher, halfback, and
Cress, center, are the men who leave
Ann Arbor this week along with six
others for Fortress Monroe to try for
commissions in the heavy artillery sec-
tion of the United States army.
The two men were inducted into
the S. A. T. C. at the beginning of the
year, and their aptitude for drill
brought them before the eyes of Sec-
ond Lieutenant David D. Dunlop, com-
manding company 15. Upon his rec-
ommendation they were examined and
successfully passed all the require-
ments for an appointment to the offic-
ers' camp at Hampton Roads. Usher
and Cress will be among the first eight
soldiers to leave the University for
training schools.
Usher began his Michigan football
career on Coach Mitchell's freshman
team last fall, playing fullback, at
which position he was probably one
of the brightest stars in the backfield.
His kicking, passing, and open field
running made him a most valuable as-
set to the first year team. This fall
he reported to Coach Yost, and his
good work on the offensive, placed him
immediately in the regular backfield.
In the Case game he tore a ligament
in his foot in the first five minutes of
play and has been unable to enter
scrimmage since. The injury is heal-
ing rapidly.
Cress, a junior this year, played on
the freshman team of two years ago.
Last year he was on the Varsity squad
for awhile and then played with the
reserves. This fall his good work at1
center earned for him the middle line7
job.
The loss of these men is regretted7
but, in the backfield their is a wealth
of material, all of equal ability.
Another member of the students''
corps to leave this week is Williams,
well known through his remarkable
basketball playing on the freshman
quintet of last winter. He is a grad-
uate of Detroit Central high, where
he established a high reputation in
the court game, and this reputation
he upheld on the yearling five.
War Exhibit Coming to Detroit
Detroit, Oct. 11.--If anyone has had
any doubts, thus far, as to the re-
sults obtained by our boys at the
front, he can see for himself, somej
of the trophies which have been cap-
tured. Saturday afternoon, at 12:55,1
a war exhibit train will arrive ati
the Grand Trunk station, to remain
the entire afternoon.
The train is an replica of the trains
used by our forces. The cars are
camouflaged, and contain captured"
cannon, German aeroplanes andi
many other smaller articles. A sleep-
ing car carrying a lecturer and an:
escort of sailors and soldiers is alsoi
part of the train.,
Two score or more would-be track
artists reported to Doc May at Fer-
ry field yesterday in response to a call
for candidates for the track team.
Despite the early issuance of the call,
the trainer is working on the theory
that since there will be no gymnas-
ium in which to do any indoor training
this winter, It will be best to take ad-
vantage of the outdoor opportunities
as the weather affordh them.
Candidates Register
The prospective runners and jump-
ers thronged the rooms of the club
house and registered, leaving their
names, addresses and their track rec-
ords, either in prep schools or on
varsity teams of Michigan or other
universities.
Sprints proved the most popularof
all of the track work offered while the
middle distance came next. More than
15 men chose the short runs while
about a dozen signified their inten-
tions of working for the 440 and 880.
A number of cross country and mile
runners also reported.
The remainder of the candidates
chose either the jumps or the pole
vault.
More men are expected to report
Monday, when arrangements will be
made for regular practice days.
Cross, the junior and letterman,
having won his "M" by pole vault-
ing will handle that end, of the work.
He has sorted out a number of the
prospects and will put them into the
grind at once. Cross himself will get
into the action. He has a record of
12 feet, made during his sophomore
year. Walter Westbrook, the tennis
marvel from Detroit, will be another
of the men to attempt to clear the bar
by the aid of a pole. Westbrook made
quite a reputation for himself dur-
ing his freshman year, and reported
yesterday that he was ready for an
attempt at the Varsity team position
this year.
Sedgwck, Long Distance
Sedgwick, who is handling the long
distance men, will also be in the big
game together with some good ma-
terial that has been given him. A
number of one and two mile men have
reported for training.
The sprinters, who outnumber any
of the applicants claim some good
prep school records. Levi Cooper,
claiming a record of 10 4-5 for the 100
yard sprints hails from New York
City where his record was made.
This promises some better speed for
him with more training. A young-
ster by the name of Mathews, with his
record for the same distance, at 10 3-4
wants more than just the sprints, and
has signified his intentions of get-
ting into the jumps also.
More men are asked to report for a
tryout. It is expected that a number
fully as large will put in its appear-
ance at Ferry field again Monday,
when they will be given a chance to
tell what they can do.

Abe Cohn, another of the big back-
as usual advanced the ball not less
than 10 yards at a time. His work is
one of the features of the team for
it seems impossible to stop him. The
ball in his hands means a long gain
practically every time.
Two men besides Perrin are on the
casualty list of the team. Carter hurt
an ankle in scrimmage and will be
out for some time. Steketee appear-
ed at the field for practice but could
not get into the work because of a
severe headache. Both men are be-
ing carefully watched, .and every
kind of care for their recovery is be-
ing taken.
"It is lucky that we haven't a
game for tomorrow," was the way
Coach Yost characterized the thing
last night. "We wouldn't have any
men to send against the opposition
with a number of our army men
leaving, too."
Too bad there was not an S. A. T.
C. at the University in 1841 when
the entire campus could have been
used for drilling. The only possible
obstacle to a successful day's train-
ing at that time might have been the
prowling of hungry wolves about the
campus. At least there would have
been no gymnasium or library to in-
terrupt the march. For in 1841 the
only college building was that of
Mason hall. It was the dormitory
and recitation room. Of course the
professors lived in houses even then.
These houses are now replaced by
the Angell house, the old Engineer-
ing building, and the New Science
and Chemical buildings. The grad-
ual increase in the number of stu-
dents necessitated an addition and
in 1849 the South Wing was built. In
1871 the part connecting the two sec-
tions was completed. Wouldn't we be
envious if an S. A. T. C. had been in
action that time.
