The men will set out promptly at 11 o'clock from the old intramural clubhouse on Ferry field. The finish line will be strung up at the end of the ITniversity golf course on South State street. The regular Varsityl course is now in fairly good shape and the predicted upsets should not bel very prevalent. The Wolverines will be represented by a captainless team in this classic,l due td the fact that Callahan will notj be able to compete. Coach Farrell has announced his team to be com- posed, of Hornberger, Briggs, Reinke, Baker, Jung and either Iskenderian or Trh9its, pending ° the condition of the course. The time for the race will l1ot be fast as a result of the soggy condition, the winner being expectedl to finish in about 27 minutes. There will be six men entered from each school, with many of the coaches postponing their final choices till an observance of the weather conditions is'made prior to the firing of the start- ing gui. The oflicial Conference com- mittee will be in charge of the race, arriving this morning. Due to the withdrawal of both the Chicago and Purdue hill and dale men, the com- mittee will be composed of eight men.

Quarter Century Of Service Ends For Yost Toda When Michigan leaves the field here this afternoon, Fielding H. Yost will have completed 25 years as coach of Michigan football teams. In his 25 years as football coach Coach Yost has achieved one of the 'most marvelous records in the annals of the sport, his teams losing but15 per cent of their games during that stretch of years. Coach Yost also pos- sesses -the enviable record of having - - Fielding H. Yost1 produced more all-American football players than any other coach in the land, his total being 13. Yost achieved instant fame as a coach -when his teams went the sea- sons of 1901, 1902, 1903, and 1904 be- fore encountering a setback, which came in the final game of the 1905 season, Chicago defating the Wolver- ines 2-0, after the Yostmen had won 12 straight games that season.

NEW YORK.-The National league announced yesterday that its "most valuable player award" for the season of 1925 would be brought into the light of day on Monday. Stagg field. The Maroons will be han- dicapped by the loss of five men who{ were declared ineligible at the mid- quarter examinations. Indiana Memorial stadium will be dedicated with the annual clash be- tween Indiana and Purdue. Either team can make a successful season out of a season of defeats by winning this traditional game. At South Bend, Notre Dame will en- gage Northwestern, who since their victory over Michigan have been re- garded as a powerful team. A win for the Irish would give them a claim to the mythical western title. The "Wildcats" will be at full strength, with the phenomenal "Moon" Baker in the backfield. The University of Iowa will travell to the Pacific coast to engage the University of Southernt.California in a grid game. Injuries to the Trojan stars have clouded the hopes of the coast team for a victory over the Hawkeyes. cently with the soccer team that is leading the Eastern Intercollegiate league. The team already has beaten Harvard and Yale. Thus far little attention has been given to the good men on the tryout roster, but the coach is devoting his efforts to weeding out the poor play- ers. The first cut of the season will come Monday when 20 cagers will be eliminated from the group. Follow- ing this there will be a regular small weekly cut from now until Christmas time. As yet the coach has not yet de- cided on keeping any definite number throughout the season. However, the size of the squad will vary from 15 to 25 depending upon the calibre and class of the material. It is expected that a few good men will put intheir appearance within the next week. This group includes those who have been busied with freshman football and other yearling athletics. - The team is to continue working out regularly at Waterman gymnas- ium the first four nights of each week. It is probable that the main court at Yost field house will be used starting just before Christmas time. Coach Fisher has as his assistants Jack Blott, and Harry Kipke. the course so as to become thoroughly familiar with the layout. Michigan's squad concluded their practice Thurs- day in the form of a short and easy workout in the environs of the field house. After the race the competing harriers will be the guests of the Blue Key club at a luncheon to be given at the Michigan Union. Following this 'they will be the guests of the athletic! association at the football game with the Gophers. { The Big Ten entries are given the! edge by a wide margin, in the advance 1 dope over the non-conference entries, 1 Marquette, Michigan State college and! Notre Dame. Michigan State has al- ready been defeated this season in a dual meet with Coach Farrell's ag- gregation. Marquette's team is known to be weak, although they boast the likely individual champion in Schimik, who ran second to Phelps of Iowa last year. Notre Dame has not achieved any noteworthy victories in harrier meets this season. The Wisconsin team, composed of Chapman, Elleson, Kubley, Reeves, Zola and McKee, should find little trouble in duplicating last year's win in today's run. They -have an excep- tionally powerful team and have not been defeated in a dual meet this fall. Among their victims were the Michi- gan and Iowa squads, two of the most formidable in the Conference. Ohio, Michigan, Iowa and Minnesota, stand next in the ratings, with Minne- sota a shade behind the first three, who are conceded to be almost of equally strong calibre. Ohio defeated! Michigan in the triangular meet, but it is anticipated that the Wolverines have overcome this advantage. Iowa lost to Wisconsin, but has a strong team, and Minnesota is not far be- hind the Hawkeyes in strength. Hornberger and Briggs are two men who 'have a good chance of copping the individual honors. Hornberger, especially has turned in some fine performances this fall. Captain White who has returned to form after the injury he suffered in the Iowa meet,; will carry Illinois' colors into the fray in hopes of leading the way home.
