Although operating under con-
siderably reduced budget, the Intra-I
mural Department of the University
will continue its "athletics for all"
policy this year and is planning the
mo2t extensive program in its history.
The Department, under the direct
aupervision of Prof. Eliher D. Mit-
chell, started the first of fall activi-
ties with the beginiing of Orienta-
tion week. Organized participatiori
by freshinen in playground baseball;
golf, tennis, rifle shooting, horse-
shoes, handball, bowling, and swim-
rfiing was held, Grbup teans and
individuals in these contests will
reach the finals of the tournaments
in the next two weeks.

The program of the Intramural
departmentt does not have the glIanot
of Vhrsity coipetition and is not
highily publicized. Althod h tiore
stiudents take part in it thlan in any
other activity at M ilgdh, it does
not have a direct appeal to the nlews-
seardliing public. .
This year, the fall, winter, and
spring programl has beei enlrged to
take care of the tremeidous humhber
of students who ai'e looking fo'
physical fitness along with thel'
University training. This program
includes 32 different sports, among
which are archery, badminton, base-
ball, basketball, bowling, b o x i n g,
c o d e b a 11, cross country, fencing,
touch-football, foul throwing, golf,
gymnastics, handball, horseshoes,.ice
hockey, relays, swimming, r i f 1 -
shooting, soccer, speedball, squash,
tennis, track, twenty-one volleyball,
water polo, and wrestling.
More than 4,000 different students
took part in the organized programs
last year. They repreent comlpeti-
tive teams in every sport and athletic
:ativity on campus. Another thdu-
sand students participated in the 'e-
creational unorganized activities of
the Intrarural department without
entering in the organized sports.
The total of 5,000 is one of the larg-
est the department has ever accom-
modated since its .reorganization
under the Board in Control of Ath-
letics, in 1926.
This year, however, the program
has been further enlarged and, it Is
believed, will appeal to, still more
students and faculty members. More
than 2,500 lockers will be i use dur-

Many Eastern
Teams Are Hit

Yale Seen as ig Threat
with 15 Veterans; Navy
Points for Army Game
By ALBERT lt. NEWMAN
Looking over Eastern football in
the early dawn of the present sea-
son, it becomes apparent that Mich-
igan in the Mid-West is not the only
grid squad with considerable vacan-'
cies left by graduation. In fact, itt
seems that this will be a banner year
for the youngsters who slaved on
freshman elevens or warmed the Var-
sity bench while veterans held the
coveted positions.
Yale loomris large on the eastern
horizon at this early date. The Elis
have 15 'Y' men returning this sea-
son, but lost 21 by graduation. Still,
according to critics, the team looks
good. Booth attends all practices'
in the uniform of a backfield coach.
Despite his loss, Yale boasts a vet-
eran backfield and has a strong line.
The real problem will be the flank
positions.
Reports of the Elis' scrimniage
Thursday show the first aggregation
defeating the best second machine at
13-b in 30 minutes. Crowley and
Lassiter in the backfield were largely
responsible for an 80-yard march
down the field for one of the tallies.
Major Sasse at West Point is hav-
ing his troubles. Graduation cost the
Army the right side of their line, a
left tackle, a center, a quarter, and,
last but not least, the great Ray
Stecker. The Pointers' mentor is
faced with the necessity of entirely
rebuilding his machine. So far, his
efforts have met with fair success,
but the tackle posts, all-important in
the line, are still a problem. Army

Women's Coaching
Improved in I-M
Spos Program
In order that women's intramuval
sports hiay receive more satisfactory
coaching and thereby lend more in-
terest to the competitors, a sports
prograin has been arranged this year
to allow interclass competition to
take place during the first four weeks
in each season, leaving the remain-
ing two weeks for intramural tour-
naments.
Inaugurating this plan, the hockey
season opened Monday. Coaching
will be stressed for the next two or
three weeks, with each class assigned
to a special instructor. Miss Burr,
noted English hockey authority, will
be on the field during each practice
in order to assist all groups in mas-
tering the finer points of the game.
All women insterested in outdoor
sports are urged by the coaches to
come out for the garne. regardless of
fast experience or knowledge, as all
of the fundamentals are to be re-
viewed thoroughly. Credit on physi-
cal education requirements will be
given to each woman who enters the
sport providing she carries it over
into the intramural program.
The program of hockey has been
arranged by Catherine Rentschler,
'33, W. A. A. interclass manager, with
the aid of the individual class man-
agers who will be announced early
next week.
ing the school year. Most of these
have already been reserved.
Faculty participation has grown
with the increase of student activity.
In 1926 only 50 faculty members
availed theinselves of the facilities of
the building By now this number
has risei to 267.
S ieidi histructibn.
Special instruction and coaching
are to be ofieered this year in 11 dif-
ferent spbrts. This total does not in-
ciude team coaching, but is restricted
to individual coaching in contests
for the individual. Many of the in-
strunctors air vaisity coaches who are
sent to this department by Director
Yost who especially sponsors the
"athletics for all" policy. Boxing,
wrestling, fencing, handball, squash,
golf, tennis, track, swimming, bad-
i i nton, and gyiiinasium are on the
list.
As ii the past;- independent groups
will take a large part in the program.
Fraternities and other organizations
have regular leagues, schedules, and
contests, in the list of more than 20
events. The Iniamuralheads are
devtilng irihoe aid more time to the
independents because they are hard-
er to biraniize into regular leagues.
Fraternity participation in the fall
sports calender includes speedball,
dual swimming, water polo, volley-
ball, handball, cross country, and
wrestling. In the winter calendar
chdhiaionships will be held in basket-
ball, bowling, swimming, and foul
shooting.
1The third division of the program
is the all-campus activities. This
class of competition is open to both
fraterniities and independents. Nearly
every sport is represented in the all-
campus calendar, including all those
mentioned as fraternity and indepen-
dent contests.
Plaques, medals, ribbons, numeral
jerseys, and trophies are among the
awards given to winners in the dif-
ferent divisions.
The department is fortunate in
having experienced d i r e c t o r s in
charge of the full program. A. A.
James, Earl N. Riskey, and Randolph
Webster are the full-time men on the
staff. Let Philbin, Harold Copp
Ernest Smith, and John Johnstone
will devote part of their time to these
activities.
Coach Keen has issued the first
call for freshmen football players
who are to report to him after 3 o'
clock, any afternoon this week.
Coach Ray Fisher, now with the
baseball team in Japan, is the usual
freshman coach, but the Athletic
department has substituted Coach
Clifford Keen, wrestling and "B"
team varsity football coach, to lead
the yearlings.
About 50 candidates are expected
out this week. Several preparatory
school stars will make their first bid
for a Michigan team on the squad.
The first practices will be devoted to
fundamentals and calesthenics.
After the squad rounds into shape,
it will be given frequent chances to
show its prowess against the Varsity
and the "8" team.
Boddie Meiers, husky center of
Michigan State doilege, who last year
gave Maynard Morrison of Michigan
his hardest battle of the year in the
