"I don't think any to one is a better qualified coach,' he five said, "than Coach Yost, and the poor able showing we have made is not due to was any lack of effort or ability on his that part. Theme were not enough experi- Val- enced men available. t fit 'Another thing that has hanicapped the the coach is that he has- had to look after a great many details;, such as keeping the crowd out of the field dur- ing practice, going after the footballs o a he wanted, and various other little for things when he should have been free co'I- to attend to his coaching work." I there. ight bea her oneN though, t h used M d did not nents, in elation was blamed for this, What can we do to keep men off the ineligi- bility list?, Only two things. First we can endeavor to 'aid tem, through tutors, to keep their work up, and second we can urge them to Work hard. Anyone who has been around this office knows that I have done all I could possibly do in encouraging the. men t4 keep up with their work. "In regard to' supplying the men with tutors, it has been asked why we have not organized some sort of a committee composed of students who are masters of their subjects and who. would be willing to help a man out if he experienced some difficulty with a course. Favors Tutoring Plan "This is a fine plan, and I have or- ganized three such committees dur- ing the time that I have been here. Each one of them worked out all right during the football season when there was lots of interest, anil lots of pep. Along in the winter and spring, though, when football was rather a remote subject, these committeemen were rather inclined -to let someone else do It, or they said they were too busy with their own work to give some man a lift. To be eligible for tivities, a man must keep his work up the year around. Tries to Get Standings "It has also been stated that. we do not attempt to find"out how the men are geting along at different in- tervals during the season. This is not so. We do send over to get re- ports on the men at mid-semester, and more often if there is any, doubt about a man. The adni'inistra- tive offices have given pus all the sup- port we could ask, but there are some instructors and professors who feel. that it. is ndt incumbent upon them to give out reports upon a request from the dean's office. Of course I realize that it is difficult in some classes to tell' what a man is doing until the end of the semester." To substantiate thiststatement, Mr. aBr- telme prodfimced the requests for re- ,ports which were made during last April. Some of these reports were complete, others contained , informa- tion on only Dart of a man's work.' When asked how other. schools suc- ceeded in getting men eligible dur-' ing the football season, Mr. Bartelme said it was most likely due to a dif- ferent system of conductingg the "I understand there has been criti- cism because we only charged $1 for the Ohio State game when we might have charged $2, in view of our pres- ent financial depression. This is the first time the Ohio game has been much of a drawing card, and it was only due to their stellar team that this was so this year. Last sum- mer when we drew up the agree- ments, there was no reason to be- lieve that we would have such a big attendance at the game this fall. As a matter of fact, there were but 3,900 tickets, aside from those of the stu- dents, requested on the Sunday pre-. ceding the game. During that week orders were received and filled for 10,000 tickets. "In. regard to the shortage of equipment. We have more equipment on hand this year than we have had any other-season, excepting 1915. We ordered jerseys, socks and shoes "n June, another order for 48 pairs of shoes was sent in during July. We did not get these things until after practice had started, and then the or- ders were only partially filled. There has been a general shortage of ath- letic equipment 'this year, but I can say that we have made every effort to get it, and -any serious shortage that has occurred has been of short duration. We haven't an efficient sys- tem of 'handling equipment here, but that will be remedied next year. 1 "There have been numerous injuries to the players this year, but anyone who has followed football for a num- ber of years, knows that invariably some years are much worse in this respe'ct than others. Then, too, due to the abolition of the training ta- ble, the trainer only sees the men while they are on the field. He does not know Nhat the men are eating, or whether the pod is agreeing with them. This hasa great deal to do with the physical condition of the men. Defends Block "3" Stand "I thing the .block 'M' proposition caused a great deal of unwarranted criticism. My only reason for deciding not to have it this year was that iT felt that the students did not care enough about it. I based my assump- tion upon the difficulty that has been experienced in getting enough men to fill that section. , It requires 1914 people to form this letter.

Bartelme was asked if he thought the Athletic association was, doing all it could to interest high school athletes in coming to Michi- gan. "We are doing all we can along this line," he said. "Of course there is a conference ruling which prohib- its a director of the Athletic associa- tion fron. inviting correspondence with these. people or securing em- ployment fir them. However, when a man wrftes to me regarding the pos- sibility of securing employment which will enable him to' defray part of his expenses while in school, I make it a point to answer the letter and ac- quaint the man with the conditions in Ann Arbor. Then I refer him to Homer Heath at the Union and the Y. M. C. A. secretary, ,who conducts clearing houses for student employ- ment. "There are some letters I do not answer. When a man writes to me and' virtually asks how much the, University will pay him to come here and play football, I ignore the letter because we do not want that type ;of man. Books Open to Inspection "The Athletic/ association has also been charged through communications appearing in The Daily of being rath- er obscure in their financial dealings. I wish to say right now that the books of the association are, open to anyone who wishes to Inspect them at any time.- "Some people do not know that the Athletic association had a debt of $42,000 on hand 'at the beginning of this season. This deficit started in 1914 when we built the south stand on Ferry field, which cost $85,000. At that time we had $35,000 on hand. This left us a debt of $55,000. Then intercollegiate athletics were abol- ished inthe' spring of 1917, and were not re-established' until the fall of 1918.a "Last year was a poor year for the association financially. We hadi but one big game, the Chicago game, and that netted _$2,000. The fact th~at our athletics 'are self' supporting must al- so be considered. Moreover, football is the only sport that is remunera- tive. Baseball does not bring in any revenue from the outside, neither does track or basketball, and each one of these sports require a substantial outlay of money each year. "These are a few reasons why we haven't a larger coaehing staff, more club houses for the players, and more' help in the o'ffict , which has been shorthanded for the past three years. 11:50 a. m.-Guild Class trouble has been exeprienced in the past years. Three years ago we re- duced the size of the letter am~d still we have' trouble in filling, it." .Alumni Wilting to Help When asked whether he felt thai the alumni were according us the proper' support, Mr. Bartelme stated that he thinks they are willing to do all they can to help the University, but that there are too many of the older men who do not realize that times have changed. "It used to be that Michigan attracted men pere by virtue of the reputation it 'had ac- quired. Now other schools are in the ,Mmpetition for good men, and what the alumni need to. do is to developi the Michigan spirit in their localities so that high school men will be in- terested in coming here. Explains New Coaching Plan, Mr. Bartelme also explained the policy adopted in regard to the coach- ing staff. "It was decided to discon- tinue securihg seasonal subordinate coaches and install all-year men. This necessitates a man we employ as a coach being an all round athlete. I think Mr. Lundgren will develop in- to a first class football coach. He has been away from the game for 12 or 15 years and it takes time for'even the best qualified man to get back in harness. "There have also been several rum- ors afloat this year concerning the way the association has treated in- jured players. There has been talk about sending men to a harness shop, and not providing proper protection for men who have injured limbs. If you will go to Peach, who is the man involved in the harness shop deal, he will give you the facts. "As -for 'the association not taking- care of injured players, I think you will find that Harold Rye, who was injured in the 0'. S. U. game, is re- ceiving thebest attention and care' Anyone injured while participating in University athletic contests will re- ceive all the necessary medical at- tention, and if he is not satisfied with 6:30 p. m.-Guild Meeting.
