G. Bartelme, director of outdoor athletics, declared yesterday afternoon that the final decision on the names awaited word from several of the men on the board which chooses the win- ners of the insignia. Coach Yost, Trainer Tuthill, Captain-elect Smith, Manager Charles Boos, ex-'18, and Bartelme comprise this board. The usual way of selecting the men who are to receive the letters is to hold a meeting at which the five rep- resentatives discuss the playing of the members of the squad and pass upon the names. This year Captain Smith is in training and is unable to get away t for such a short meeting. Manager Boos has entered the national army since the close of the gridiron season. Coach Yost has been traveling about. officiating at football games. So the choice has been made by letter. Awaits Letters From Board Bartelme is now awaiting letters from two of the men. These, accord- ing to the director of athletics, ought to be here soon and shortly after the last letter arrives, the names of the "M" winners will be made public. The men who receive the insignia will then meet for a group picture and will elect a captain for next year at that time. According to, the "dope," there will be more letters awarded this year than there have been for the past few sea- sons. Rumor has had it that 17 "M" sweaters would be given out, while another report places the number at 18. These are purely conjectures, how- ever, for no one outside of the five men comprising the board of selection have a single thing to do with the picking of the men. But because of the number of men Yost was required to use this year when Spairks was injnured and Weston Lambert, and Culver were lost to the team at the last moment before the Northwestern game, it does seem as though quite a number are in line for the coveted letter. Seven Men Beside Regulars Eligible Out side of the regular eleven, there are seven men who have played in either of the. big games-those with Cornell and Penn-or else started the Northwestern contest and played at various times during the season as regulars Froemke, Genebach, Rye. Cruse, Cartwright, and Morrison have all seen plenty of service this sea- son. Sparks and Cohn both have a claim at the left half berth, and both are in line for recognition. The regular eleven is composed of: Goetz and Boyd, ends; Goodsell and Weske, tackles; Fortune and Culver, guards; Lambert, center; Weston, quarter; Cohn and Sparks, left half; Hanish, right half; Wieman, fullback This gives 12 men who are almost sure of letters and the six men who- have played a great part of the season bring the total number of available men up to 18. Whatever the number of letters awarded, Michigan is assured of a vet- eran football squad next season. Weske, Goodsell, Lambert, and Rye" are the only men whom it is thought will not be back in the harness. There is a possibility that Rye will return,' and Goodsell also may be able to play another season; but Weske and Lam- bert are out of it for certain. Large Number of Men Return That gives to Michigan the possibil- ity of 14 of the 18 men in line for letters returning for football in 1918. A large percentage of these 14 men will be letter men. The rest will be ex- perienced, tried in battle, and train- ed in the game as Yost teaches it. This will be without a doubt the best nucleus for a team that Michigan has had in many years. Returning will be: Boyd, Cart- wright, and Goetz, ends; Fortune, Mor- rison, and Culver, guards; Weston and Genebach, quarters; Hanish, Froemke, Sparks, Cohn, Cruse, and Wieman, backs. In addition, Beath, center, Emery, center and end, and Lindstrom, tackle, will be back. These men were New Choplin Comedy, "The Adven- joaer 1 aarc r Rockford, Ill., Nov. 30.-There was a "practice" football game at Camp Grant the other day, a husky bunch of national army artillerymen lining up against the picked divisional team. The divisional team was made up en- tirely of officers and composed of play- ers whosO names are written large in college football annals. The opposing. eleven was a hard driving aggregation of enlisted men from the 333rd artillery but all official bars were down and it was a fierce scrimmage. English and French officers, fresh, from the western front, were in the crowd which watched the "practice.", Many of them never before had seen an American gridiron battle and ex- pressed their amazement over_ the, fierce attacks and defense in no uncer- tain terms. "Some game!" remarked an Ameri- can major to.Sergeant Major W. Bar- ratt of the British army, whose spec- iality is the bayonet. "Jove!" returned the visitor earn- estly, "you know, I don't like it. It's all too rough! Fancy a game where they take 'em off in stretchers and no one seems to notice it." "Let's see," remarked the American officer, eying the visitor curiously, "you wear the badge of 'Meritorious Service on the Feild,' do you not? You have served three years in front line trench- es and dodged bombs and cleaned dug- outs of Hun occupants, have gone over the top in charges a good many times and seen the war as it is played over{ there. Ever wounded?" "Several scratches," replied the Ent lishman stll watching the scrimmage; am rrrenC l' .renches wonderingly. "I say, look there! Stepping all over that man's face! Extraordinary! You know, I have read about thousands of people going to see Harvard and Yale break each others legs and the like. It's alto- gether too bally rough, you know!" The American officer watched the distinguished "non-com" depart for his quarters. "Three years on the trench- es," he murmured again, "dodging bombs, spearing the Hun on bayonets, getting 'scratches,' and it's too 'rough' for him!" Men of the hospital corps had some real work to perform. One artillery- man was carried away because of a sprained ankle and another was given "first aid" for a deep scalp wound. After the first lineup when the artil- lerymen plowed through the officers for a clean ten yard gain, both teams settled down. Guided by Lieut. Jack Eddy, former Princeton quarterback, the division representatives soon struck their stride, exhibiting individ- ual flashps of football genius that be- wildered their opponents and brought the ball in a steady march to the ar- tillery goal. Three touchdowns were scored by the officers before "To the Colors," played at retreat, brought the two teams suddenly from a tangle of arms and legs to salute the division flag as it was lowered from headquart er's flag pole. Lieutenants Schobinger, former Un- iversity of Illinois star; Chatfield-Tay- lor, Yale; Berger, Wisconsin and Chi- cago; and Shiverick, Cornell, showe I up well in the hard practice fight whil Captain Whiting, Chicago, played a masterly line game. INTEREST iN VARSITY TRAUCKT T I iCKS UP STEVE FAERELL SENDS 15 MEN THROUGH THEIR PACES IN WORKOUT Although quite a number of men went home to spend the week end, there were 15 Varsity track candidates out for practice yesterday. Both the number of men reporting and the in- terest in the pre-season workouts is increasing daily. The men went through the usual workout yesterday, rope-jumping, dashes, starting and a few rounds on the oval. In the dashes the men showed a world of speed, Johnson, Kruger, and Cook, finishing the 50 yards in fast time with the rest of the men at their heels. With Zoellin back in the fold this year, Steve is well satisfied with the dash material. Michigan should be strong in the hurdles this year ,a place where we were weak last year. Johnson, who holds the gymnasium record for the 60 yards, Zoellin, who was a hurler t\-o years ago, and Beardsley, who im- proved very much last year under the tutoring of Farrell, should develop in- to a strong trio. Sedgwick, Donnelly, and Fuess should take care of the mile in good fashion, while the quarter will probably be run by Forbes, Stohl, and Lombard. The one great task before Coach Farrell is to develop some good shot- putters. Baker is the only man who has shown up thus far. In all the other branches gSteve has an abun- dance of promising material and ,s well satisfied with the prospects. MAY TAKE LAKE TUBS AND BARGES TO EASTERN COAST Washington, Nov. 30.-Mobilization of the tugs and towboats of the great lakes along the Atlantic coast for the winter months to aid in relieving freight congestion by greater use of the inland waterways and of barges has been proposed to Secretary Baker. Lack of coastwise towboats prevents wide use of barges, and as towboats on the lakes soon will be frozen in, it is suggested that they be brought out through the canals to move coastwise barge traffic during the winter.

Fresh Track Men Urged To Report Farrell Advises Yearlings To Start Getting Into Condition For Season's Work Although there will be no call is- sued for fresh track candidates until: after Christmas, Coach Farrell advises all those who intend to come out to do so immediately in order to get themselves in shape. ten freshman practicing dail coach would like to see a much number getting themselves ba condition. Those that begin work-outs now will have three advantage over the rest. Little can be said of the ab those who are already out bec the lack of competition.

MORROW NIGHT Few members of the Varsity and freshman basket ball squads were out for practice in suits last evening at Waterman gymnasium. About 25 men showed up for the big team and only 35 for the freshman squad, the latter, on the two preceding nights of. practice having drawn be- tween 70 and 80 men each time. Mitchell' put his men' at shooting baskets, and the yearlings were sent against each other and five of the Var- sity reserves. The two teams are get- ting into shape to scrimmage each other, and the Varsity mentor is going to battle them before the next week is over. Brooks Plays Well For the first year men, Brooks put up a clever game at guard, as also did Van Rassum, former Grand Rapids tablished as yet, but it will be compos- ed of games with the reserves and com- compete with outside aggregations. No freshman schedule has been es- tablished as yet, but it will be com- posed of games with reserves and com- pany teams to be played as prelimin- aries to the Varsity games, as was an- nounced before. According to Confer- ence rules, no freshman team may compete with outside aggregations. Practice To Be Held Practice will be held tonight in Waterman gymnasium for both squads, and a hard work-out can be expected. All men who can possibly do so are expected to be present. Coach Adrian of the yearlings be- lieves the prospects are bright for a good freshman quintet. With many of the men who were in the interschol- astic tournament last spring out, the outlook is certainly good. on the Varsity squad this year but failed to make the first team. The freshman team, declared one ,f the best in recent years by Cocah Yost, will send up a few men to fight for Varsity jobs, and the competition ought to be hot next fall. There surely will be no lack of material unless the un- expected happens and' all the avail- able men leave school. HORACE L. DAVIS, '17, HAS STAR ROLE IN GRAND OPERA Horace L.

BARTELME TO ARRANGE SCHEDULE DECEMBER 15 WILL MEET CONFERENCE HEADS AT THAT TIME TO DIS- CUSS GAMES P. G. Bartelme, director of outdoor athletics, will go to Chicago to a meet- ing of Conference officials Dec. 15, to arrange the 1918 football schedule for Michigan. Until that meeting Bartelme de- clared that there could be nothing de- finite said .about the Wolverine games for next season. No other. arrange- ments will be completed until the con- tests in the Big Ten are booked. Then Bartelme will attempt to fiill up the schedule with the teams Michigan has played in former years, The alumni of the University have expressed their hope that Michigan $7.50 and $8.00 MUNSON LAST U.

But that one of these teams will face the Wolverines is not be- yond the range of possibility. Chicago Story Guesses at Schedule A story from Chicago declares that Michigan will play Chicago, Minnesota, Ohio State, and Northwestern in the Conference next fall. No doubt such an arrangement of games would be almost-ideal as far as the sport itself goes, but it would be next to dis- astrous to Michigan. Cornell, M. A. C, and possibly Penn, are due to be on the list, and it would be impossible for Michigan to play seven big games in one season. That is what such a schedule would amount to. It does seem most probable, how- ever, that Michigan will meet two Conference teams, while it would be possible for the Wolverines to face one of the weaker teams in the west for an early game. Mt. Union, Case, Cor- nell, M. A. C., Penn, Northwestern, are almost sure to be played. There is room for a couple of big games yet. Dec. 15 will tell whether the Badgers or the Maroons are Michigan's op- ponents next fall. Maybe we will play them both and then the question will be which one will come to Ferry field? Lieut. H. S.
