Your Partln the
Solution of the
Athletic Problem
The emergency smoker held bye
alumni Saturday night in Deroit
went over big, reorts sy. IF-other
words, the alumni of the Univexity of
Michigan have begun a campaign
which means that their share of work
towards solving the athletic situation
here will be done.,
Now it remains for the student body
to swing into action in a concerted
effort to'make Michigan supreme in
the west beginning at'once. The stu-
debts can do it by urging men to re-
port*4or basketball practice.
There has been little talk of the U.
of M. taking the Western Conference
championship in the court game this-
season,. yet such talk should be start-
ed.
To complete the object of such pro-
paganda, service will be demanded of
every Michigan student. Do your
share. Be of service!

ball team, took a constructive step toward betterment of 'the Michigan ath-
letic situation at their big emergency smoker Saturday night in the De-
troit Board, of Commerce, when it was decided to appoint a committee of
five alumni to investigate the conditions at once, heir complaints, and rec-
ommend action.I

Trolley poles felled acrossj the track in the storm prevented the arrival
of two specials which were to have taken the campus delegation to the
smoker. Many missed the event entirely, but the team, band, cheer lead-

of the smoker from reaching Ann Arbor, until Sunday's issue of the. The

Many of Ann Arbor's streets were
rendered impassable by the falling of
trees on Saturday night but the vast
majority of this was cleared away
before traffic started on Sunday. The
large sign board on the corner of
Church -and S. University streets was
uprooted but no persons were struck
as it fell to the sidewalk. A piece of
stone cornice on the Dawson drug
store, 12 feet long and weighing 1,000
pounds, fell, damaging the front of the
building and nearly injuring a pedes-
trian.
