Hume, Jr. i Just what is at the bottom of this ruling is not known, but, in view of the fact that hockey is strictly an informal sport here and as such is en- titled to use any material available on the campus, this decision of the association seems entirely un- founded. In fact, it will work a hardship on the team by eliminating from the season's contests a number of excellent players, some freshmen, some otherwise ineligible, whereas last year two of the best men on the squad were from the first year class. But aside from this, it seems unreasonable to force Varsity standards upon a team to which Varsity-rating has been denied Incidentally, Coach Fred Fletcher is asking now for material for this year's squad and is particu- larly desirous of obtaining goal guards at this time. Men for this position can begin practice at once, before the cold weather comes, and it is the desire of the coaching staff to get practice started as soon as possible so as to insu re good guard work. A year ago Michigan's hockey squad showed ex- cellent ability and finished with a loo per cent standing and this season it will probably get into some informal Conference competition. Let's get behind the sport' and .help the team uphold its al- ready excellent reputation. CAPTAIN DUNNE "Duke" Dunne, who has been selected captain of the Varsity football squad for next year, is known to everyone as the "fightin' Irishman" that he is. He has the grit and the qualities of 'leadership which make for a real leader, and when he takes his place at the head of the squad next fall, he will hec further strengthened by the knowledge that the campus is back of him to a man. ':24 FAILS TO TURN OUT When a class has problems to settle which con- cern every one of its members, and when it desires to take action on these maitters, it calls a meeting, through a formal announcement of the officers. When only a mere handful of persons respond to the summons, then there is something vitally wrong with that class. While it applies to the entire campus, the refer- ence is primarily to the freshman fits. Out of an approximate roll of i,500 only 300 were present at the last class meeting. This is highly regrettable, for the class of '24 should realize'that these meet- ings are the one means for establishing a spirit of comradeship and friendliness among its members, and also serve the purpose of upholding the repu- tation of the class and providing a truly represen- tative vote on class matters and class officials. The freshman year of any class is its great opportunity to make its actions serve as an envia- ble precedent for the years to follow, and attend- ance at class meetings and other functions is a big step towards the attainment of this end.

"Who is standin between boarding house pa- ons and the tremendous declines in wholesale od prices that have taken place in the last four onths all over the country?" was the question ked three days ago by The Daily. "Is it the whole- ler, the retailer, or the boarding house proprie- " p STANDING No. of Contribs Men ...........180 Women ......... 54 Points 180 162 A survey of the Ann Arbor food market for the >urpose of answering this question brings out these facts: Both the wholesaler and the retailer have >een passing on reductions; the boarding house >roprietors have not. Wholesalers have, for example, cut sugar prices o a third of what they were last spring, have re- luced their meat prices and especially their pork luotations several cents a pound, have cut the price >f coffee in two and are selling it on a pre-war >asis, and are sharing a flour decline of from sev- nteen dollars a barrel in May to nine dollars and ixty-five cents today. The same is true of the retailers. In their field ,ubstantial reductions have taken= place in the prices f basic commodities such as bread, meat, canned oods of certain brands, and butter. The following eclines in the prices of meats which count heavily i the cost of board have been revealed: Since October pork chops have gone down a third, cheap rades of beef havefallen off from ten to twenty er cent, and mutton has been reduced from thirty > twenty-five cents. All reductions made by food dealers have not een mentioned by any means, but enough in- ances-"have been cited to indicate that the middle- ien have been relaying declines. Who, then, is keeping board rates at artificial eights? The boarding house proprietors alone ave not revised their tariffs. Some hope is to be >und in the intimation prices may be reduced after hristmas, vacation, but conditions do not warrant lay. "Overhead" may have justified raising tes this summer and during the early part of the 11, but it cannot be stretched far enough to ex- se the rates that prevail now in the face of the eak in food prices that has taken place since en. The students should get their share of the nefit now. - A perusal of the figures for the last few days has inclined many to the belief that the girls have thrown up the sponge in the Humor Contest and acknowledge the men supreme in the fields of wit.

Don't be downhearted, Harry. The secret of being popular at college is to appear good and studious, taking good care, however, to be neither. The other evening when our girl and we were holding a little class in oral expression we inti- mated that we liked her pretty well. "Oh, yes," she titters, "but remember what. Shakespeare said." We registered ignorance and asks: "Shakespeare said: 'All men are liars.'" That was a pretty hot shot so we gets back to the only subject on which our girl agrees with us and remarks to her that she is the best looking girl we know. She tries to look like Cut No. 7, Coy Though Self-Possessed, as illustrated in "Girlish Self-Ex- pression," and finally says: "Oh, but all men tell me that." That last statement didn't give us no appetite so we comies back with: "Yeh, but remember what Shakespeare said." And after that for some reason or other the con- versation lagged.
