SHACKLING THE COACH Football is over and done for this school year, basketball is just beginning, and now we find our- selves confronted with the prospects of another track season. But, sadly enough, those prospects are not of the best, for Coach "Steve" Farrell an- nounced recently that at his first meeting but eighty- two men had presented themselves as candidates for the 1922 squad - and Michigan numbers among her undergraduate body probably more male stu- dents than any other university in the West. We are not prone to go about waving our arms and shouting about our deficiencies any more than we are inclined to over-emphasize our good points. But, if Michigan, with all her material, with all her -alleged spirit and fight, with all her enthusiasm and good sportsmanship, cannot turn out more than eighty-odd men for a track squad; then some action ought to be taken. Michigan can count among her graduated sons countless men of note in the track world, and a few of high standing still remain with us. But a few cannot uphold the athletic name of the entire Uni- versity. Neither are coaches able to make squads out of air and talk. It has been said in recent times that Michigan can no longer exist on vanishing glories, and the same thing applies to her track work as well as to all other forms of athletics. We of the present genera- tion will have to sacrifice a bit for Michigan if she is to continue to uphold her high standards of the past. We ought to have several times eighty men out for the squad to take care of necessary elimina- tions among the candidates and to furnish the basis for a truly representative team. f campus organizations and undergraduates in general will see to it that the coach is supplied with nmterial from their ranks, we can place a winning squad on the gym floor and field this year. But, if we all fail to provide a proper turn-out, Michi- gan had better withdraw from competition wihle the withdrawing is good. Our first meet comes on February 18, when we meet Chicago in Waterman gymnuasium. What kind of an outfit are we going to put on the floor that night? A CHANCE FOR AUTHORSHIP . With few exceptions those individuals of the Uni- versity most interested in writing seek an outlet for their energies in campus activities or in other fields of journalism. Experience has taught, however, that the most interested are not always the most able, and Michigan no doubt has in her ranks any number of talented writers whose manuscripts are laid in a drawer at their completion and promptly forgotten, or potential literary artists whose nat- ural ability so far has been neglected. It is especially for the benefit of these undiscov- ered writers that Chimes has instituted its first an- nual Short Story contest. That publication wishes to bring to light some of those forgotten manu- scripts and to draw forth literary potentialities, so that the work of able writers upon the campus may be recognized and their talents developed. The entire student body of Michigan has been in- vited to join in the contest. But, in order to bring out those men who so far have not been sufficiently interested to write merely for the sake of writing, Chimes has arranged to offer four cash prizes rang- ing from $5o down to $io, for the four best short stories submitted by the fifth of next April. The Chimes' contest should prove an attractive stimulus to many literarily inclined students on the campus who, through it, may profitably try out their prowess by entering a piece of fiction in the an- nounced competition. A SCHOOL FOR THE VARSITY Recently the local unit of the R. O. T. C. organ- ized the musically inclined within its ranks into a band. Up to date about fifty men have reported for the several practices. The possibilities of such a band are many when we consider the great benefit it may prove to be to the Varsity in the future through the supplying of material for that organization. Although our Var- sity band is on a par with those from any of other Conference universities, it still has room for im- provement in the matter of drill and it is one of the aims of the new organization to be of service to the Varsity in this respect. A man may be a veritable Gabriel on a horn but unless he can keep in step and stay with the band in formation as well as in music he is a detriment to the band as a unit. It is entirely possible that the R. O. T. C. band ultimately may become a recognized training school for the Varsity. By attention being given to the military as well as to musical proficiency, any band can be improved in quality; and, if men have an opportunity to drill with the R. . T2* C. a year or so before they become eligible for the real Univer- sity band, much can be done toward bettering the appearance of the latter organization. It might prove quite profitable for those who seek to "make" the Varsity to avail themselves, of the opportunity offered by the R. O. T. C., as the pos- sibilities are that preference soon may be given to those who have served their apprenticeship in the ranks of the training school. It is reported that an amateur golfer at Trenton, N. J., recently drove a ball a quarter of a mile. Page "Babe" Ruth. It seems unfair that a newcomer should be allowed to top the ranks of the swat aris- tocracy while one of its most able members is tem- porarily out of the running. With the prospects for a continuation of our present rapid growth in the future, may we not ex- pect a few years hence to see Michigenensians blos- soming forth with something about double the gen- erous proportions of Webster's unabridged? We are thrilled by the announcement of a recent fashion show held in Sarah Caswell Angell hall. But then, the Junior Girls' play unfortunately is not the only affair hereabouts from which men are ex- cluded. If State street speedsters keep up their present rate, Rickenbacker, DePalma and Oldfield had bet- ter look to their laurels. "John Wanamaker Laughs at Report of His Death," snickers a news head. Boy, page Lodge, Conan Doyle, et al. the Telescope 'Cross the Hall When musical elfs my brain invade When melodious strains cause gloom to fade, When with thopin and Wagner I hold consulta- tion, Who starts singing "the blues", to my great con- sternation ? That bleating jazz hound who lives 'cross the hall. When I am inclined to be studious truly, Who is it gets frightfully noisy, unruly? When my wits from Descartes are beginning to rattle, Who forces his roommate into a wild battle? That infernal pug who lives 'cross the hall. When the phone downstairs rings and the fresh- men are out, I always must answer; he's never about. But who, when I'm blue and am feeling quite sad, Lets me drink his home brew and helps make me feel glad? God bless him - that angel who lives 'cross the hall. - Erman. It Might Be Well In the "Program of Events" column of that fam- oue Ann Arbor publication entitled "Where to Go", may be seen the following: "WATERMAN GYMNASIUM - Athletic as- sociation practices from 7:40-9:20." We imagine this would make an interesting spec- tacle. Famous Closing Lines 'My death is going to be quite a shock," said the murderer as they strapped him into the chair. ERM.
