DACH YOS USES
DAY FOR" PRACTICE

CALLED-OFF

Despite Postponement of M. A. C.
Game Saturday Was Filled with
Work
NORTHWESTERN COMES NEXT
ON WOLVERINE SCHEDULE
Blackboard Talk Signal Practice, and
Workout on Field for Grid
Men
Taking advantage of the open date
caused by the postponement of the
M. A. C. contest, Coach Yost assem-
bled his gridders in the clubhouse at
Ferry field yesterday afternoon, where
he gave them a blackboard talk.
as the result of the fwlu lu n nnn
Although made somewhat scarce as
the result of the limited time because
of military training, the coach has
instituted the blackboard talks when-
ever possible.
New Plays
New plays together with criticisms
and more detailed explanations of old
plays furnished the topic for the
coach's talk. Following this, the en-
tire Varsity squad was taken out on
"the field, where the "Hurry-up" coach
drilled them in the practical end of
the' game.
Signal practice directed by both
quarterbacks, Knode the first string
roan, and Smith the new freshman,
kept. the backs and the line busy
prancing up and down the field. Steke-
- tee was given a chance to demonstrate
his ability with his toe again, when
the kicker was drilled in booting the
pigskin down the field.
-The next game in sight is the con-
test with Northwestern to be played
at Ferry field, November 2. Yet au-
thorities are prone to say that the
game will be played because of the
numerous cancellations already caus-
ed by various things this season. It
is more than likely, however, that the
game will not be played because of the
enza epidemic is still raging.
In Fine Condition
The Yostmen are now in condition
to meet almost anything that will be
brought against them. The backfield
material that the coach has develop-
ed is so plentiful and reliable that a
line plunge will always mean a gain.
Even though the line is still not to
Yost's liking it is developing every
fday.
The coach's campaign to develop
his line into a stone wall has been
progressing each day. Having trans-
ferred Vick to the center position
has helped materially, while Good-
sell, the veteran line man, being put
into the contest has also helped a
great deal.
Voters Given Last Chance to Register
Registration for voters which end-
ed last night at the office of the city
clerk will be resumed from 8 o'clock
in the morning to 8 o'clock at night,
Tuesday; Oct. 29, in the ward booths
of the city. All who have not reg-
istered this week at the office of the
city clerk can do so then. On Oct.
30 all boards meet in the council
chamber in the city hall and tardy
registrants will be given their last
chance to register.
This is not a re-registration. Any
who are already registered in the
ward in which they now live will not
have to re-register.
Mr. N. C. Fetter Recovered from Flu
Mr. N. C. Fetter, who has been ill
with influenza, returned to his duties
Saturday morning.

There was a time when weather
Was the thing the student feared,
And the handling of the leather
Halted when the sky got bleared.
When, if the weather prophet
Smiled upon your eager face,
Nought from.-Africa to Tophet
Could your happy day erase.
When the thing you most desired
And the thing for which you prayed
Was that the field might not be mired
And the game thus not be played.
Once the weather was the master,
Rain and snow couldtdictate terms.
Now we've got a boss that's faster,
In the influenza germs.
BASEBALL POPULAR
WITH FOREIGNERS
New York, Oct. 19.-The popularity
of baseball among the allied nations
abroad is spreading so rapidly that
there is already a demand for simple
instructions and rules of the game,
printed in foreign languages. To meet
trast ti the deaths for several pre-
baseball authorities are collaborating
in the preparation of a baseball prim-
er which will be distributed in vari-
ous sections of Europe.
, The pamphlet, which will be print-
ed in French, Italian, English and
,Spanish, will carry the rules of the
game in the simplest form. In addi-
tion there will be pages of explana-
tions and answers to the questions
which arise among those who are
playing their first contests. These
questions and answers will be print-
ed' both in English and various for-
eign languages in parallel columns in
order that when American and for-
eign players or spectators meet, with-
out being able to speak the lan-
guage of their opponents or neigh-
bors in the stands, there may be a
medium of communication at hand. A
glossary of technical and baseball
terms in all languages is also to be
appended.
UNIVERSITY SECRETARY GOES
TO CONVENTION IN CHICAGO
Shirley W. Smith, Secretary of the
University, has gone to Chicago,
where he will attend a meeting of the
Business Officers' association of the
middle western universities. The pur-
pose of the convention is to consider
matters affecting the business side
of the students' army training corps
now a part of the various institutions
throughout the country. A represen-
tative from the Committee on Educa-
tion and Special training at Washing-
ton will preside at the meeting. John
C. Christensen, assistant secketary of
the University, will not attend the
convention on account of the short-
age of help in the secretary's office.
Y. W. C. A. Anticipates Good Year
The city Y. W. C. A., which is a
great asset to many city women, re-
ports nine active clubs, each hav-
ing its own organizations. While
the present epidemic is hindering the
work of these various clubs, prospects
indicate a most favorable year. There
are many classes in Red Cross work,
social service, work- for the eighth
grade school children, besides many
other classes with war service as th
main ideal. A baby clinic is in ope-
ration, and the number of patients
treated ranges from 12 to 50 in one
day.
Whitney Theater Cancels Dates
Mr. McIntyre of the Whitney thea-
ter announced yesterday that all pro-
ductions scheduled to appear at the
theater have had their engagements

cancelled until further notice is giv-
en by the health officer.

Tell Of South
African Jungles
Many interesting bits of informa-
tion regarding South Africa can beI
gained by talking with any one ofc
the many students from there who
are enrolled in the University.f
"Do you ever see cannibals?" or1
"Is your home near the jungle?" areE
typical questions which Americans
usually put to them first, and which1
amuse them immensely.
The few cannibals that are left to-
day in Africa live in the most cen-
tral part of the interior. The na-
tives who live in civilized portions-
which now comprise very nearly all
of Africa-arequite harmless. They
wear more clothing than those in the
wilds, but, still, not so much as the
white man. A coarse cloth belted
shrt and short breeches compose their9
attire. The native women make good
nurse maids, excellent cooks, and good
chamber maids. The men are em-
ployed as laborers, porters, etcetera.
There are many languages spoken
among the natives, some of them only,
spoken, and others both written and
spoken. Many of their words con-
tain a very curious clicking sound,
somewhat similar to that made by a
teamster when urging his horse to
run.
Snakes frequent practically every
part of South Africa. In the wilds of
the interior boa constrictors have
been killed which measured 40 feet
in length. These snakes have enor-
mous jaws and can easily devour a
'man whole. Their prey is generally
young deer. Occasionally the boa is
unable to swallow the horns and in
that case it swallows all of the ani-
mal but the horns which protrude
from the snake's mouth until the body
is digested. When such food is to be
!had, the boa eats about once in four
months and sleeps the remainder of
the time.
When attacking its prey, it fast-
ens its tail to a tree and then strikes
with its fore-body, entwines itself
Around its victim until it is crushed
to pulp, then covers the mass with a
slimy substance secreted from its
mouth, and finally swallows it whole.
Evergreen and oak trees predom-
inate in South Africa. There are few
varieties other than these. The gen-
eral landscape resembles that seen
in the vicinity of Ann Arbor. The
rural life is much like that seen in
Michigan.
VACCINATION USED
AGAINST INFLUENZA
Chicago, Oct. 19.-A few days ago
ta crowd of 20,000 people was gath-
ered and not one had been touched
by influenza. They were protected
against it by vaccination. Some were
in a school where only a few cases
were reported and vaccination had
prevented its spread.
The vaccine used is the same as
that made by Dr. Rosenow of the
Mayo foundation. It is given hypo-
dermically. Three doses are given,
with an interval of one week be-
tween doses. In the Rochester ex-
perience no person who had had a
single dose, developed influenza ex-
cept a few who got sick within two
days after the injection. The amount
of reaction was very small and no
abscesses developed at the point of
injection. Saturday morning the Chi
cago health authorities began vac-
cinating and were kept busy. Dr.
Rosenow is willing to tell any trained
laboratory man how to make it.

In the army laboratory more than a
hundred doses of pneumonia vaccine
have been prepared. The vaccine is
supposed to protect against pneumonia
and lasts about eight months.
Army Truck Collides With Street Car
The Ann Arbor "dinky" thought it
was stronger than a big army truck
yesterday afternoon. At about 3:15
o'clock a large army truck was going
around the corner of South University
and State streets very close to the
track. The street car took no notice
of the big army wagon and kept on
its way. But the truck was too close
to the track and with a crash, thoe
windows in the front of the car smash-
ed and the pretty yellow tin was part-
ly ripped off. No one was hurt-un-
less it be the street car's pride, if the
Ann Arbor kind has any. The truck
was scratched and a fender was rip-
ped off.
Tents Not Publishing Allied Reports
Zurich, Oct. 18.-Official reports is-
sued by Entente war offices are no
longer given publicity in Germany.
Abusive placards concerning the kai-
ser, the crown prince, Field Marshal
von Hindenburg, and General Luden-
dorff have been posted in railroad sta-
tions in Germany. Rumors report
outbreaks among soldiers at the
front.

The following casualities are re-
ported today by the commanding gen-
eral of the American Expeditionary
forces.Killed in action, 111; missing
in action, 78; wounded severely, 260;
died from wounds, 88; died from ac-
cident and other causes, 7; died from
airplane accident, 2; wounded slight-
ly, 3; wounded, degree undetermin-
ed, 140. Total, 754.
NEW WIRELESS SCHOOL STARTS
IN FIRST WEEK OF NOVEMBER
The new wireless or buzzer school
is to open the first week of Novem-
ber under the supervision of Mr.
Baumgartner of the Western Union
Telegraph company. All men, 18
years or over, who are connected
with any military organization of the
campus and those regularly enrolled
in the University, are eligible.
It has been the wish of the men
themselves that the school be estab-
lished and special interest is shown
by the members of the signal corps,
who feel the need of perfecting them-
selves in telegraphy.
Applicants should register at the
wireless school in Nickel's arcade
Friday. The class will consist of
only 4 members and it is certain that
many will have to be turned back.
The fee is a nominal one; $2.50 will
be charged per month, or 10 cents
per hour of not less than six hours
per week. The course lasts eight
weeks and is for men only.
