During the fall season, Director Mitchell has made r arrangements for both fraternity and class contests in soccer, bowling, swimming, football, tennis, and cross country. The result of these affairs has been satisfactory to the intramural office and indicate that the campus is taking a mueh greater interest in athletics than in the past. Some of the sports that were inaugurated this semester were caught up by the classes and fraternities with such spirit that the intramural office had to work day and night to keep up with this unexepect- ed'turn of affairs.- Soccer New Sport Soccer made its appearance as ani intramural sport this fall. Neverthe- less there were 31 teams in two dif- ferent leagues, playing on Ferry field. It was thought that last year .an un- beatable record was set when 22 teams entered in the bowling tourney. But this number was greatly over- the Union alleys. It is interesting tc note that the quality of this year's teams surpassed that of last season's aggregations by a considerable marg- in. The two high marks of last fall of 605 and 579 for three successive games looks meager when compared with this' year's tallies. There were six high counts ranging between 641 and 622 for the set of three games. Alsc quite a number of bowlers bowled the pins for scores falling near the 602 mark. The same success attended this sem- ester's football league, 47 teams turn- ing out against 28 last year. In 1919f 49 men signed up for cross country while 84 hill and dalers came out this season.

PRATT NOT GOING BACK TO MAJORS Derrill Pratt, new Michigan diamond coach, will not play professional base- ball next year, and probably will nev- er return to the big leagues, at least, until after his three year contract with Michigan expires. According to report, Pratt, who went to the Boston Red Sox as a re- sult of an eight man deal between that team and the, New York Yankees, would play with Boston in the 1921 campaign. Pratt, however, has an- ounced that he is through with pro- fessional ball, and will stick to Mich- igan and the coaching game. Paronize Daily Advertiers.-Adv.

For total abolition there were 720 'votes; for no change, 149, and for lim- itation of drink licenses, 5. As a result, all licenses .on the is- land will be annulled next May. Lewis is a rugged island which abounds in ancient Druidic structures and ruined old-time fortresses. Bear stories now current, that Field- ing H. Yost, Varsity football coach at Michigan for 20 seasons, will not be here next year, are emphatically de- nied by Yost himself. When turning down the offer made him by the Uni- versity bf West Virginia, he said that when he quit coaching at Michigan he would quit coaching. Several other schools have also asked the Michigan leader to take- charge of their grid- iron squads, but with no more success than the West Virginia school.
