THE MICHIGAN DAILY PLAY MINNESOTA Yostmen Ordered To Report early TWO SCORE REPORT FOR TRACK TEAMS Authorities Cause Michigan Rival to Cancelled Game Be -WOLVERINE BE SEASON'S CONTEST BIG GAME to Be Program at Ferry This Afternoon; No Opposition !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- rn before the time is up, therefore 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.

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. Patronize our advertisers.-Adv. 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.

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. Women's League Meeting Postponed The Women's league mass meeting which was to be held at 4 o'clock Monday afternoon in Sarah Caswell Angell hall has been postponed inde- finitely due to the number of cases of influenza~ here.
