LANSING TEAM IS CONFIDENT against the Wolverines last year.
__The Michigan line from end to end

Rehor, Boyd, and Welmann
Turns in Starring Against
Scrubs

Take last year was composed of Benton,

If M. A. C.'s plays don't meet withI

any better success in the hands of
their originators tomorrow than they
did as employed by the scrubs yester-
day afternoon, the Farmers' ,total
yardage gained will be expressed in
a minus quantity.
The Varsity was given the ball dur-
ing the early part of the workout and
they chalked up three touchdowns in
15 minutes. Then the ball was given
to the scrubs on the 5-yard line and
they were instructed to "do their
worst." They did.
They couldn't advance a foot, or an
inch, or even one of those millimeters
that the engineers tell us all about.
The coaches then carried the ball to
the 2-yard line and told the scrubs
to go to it again.
This time the Varsity grew nervous
and so they began spilling the backs
behind the line until they had shoved
them clear back to the 5-yard mark.
Nor did they stop there. They pushed
them clear back to the 10-yard stripe.
Proceedings were halted and the
bail was carried up to the 2-yard line.
Again it was the same old story. Big
Fritz Rehor, Boyd, and Weimann
burst through on every play and nailed
the man with the ball before he could
hardly start. They shoved them clear
back to the 10-yard line once more.
The term "stone wall" defense is a
misnomer as applied to the Varsity
yesterday. A "stone wall" can't push
anything the other way and that's just
what the Varsity was doing. The work-
out lasted 40 minutes and when time,
was finally called, the scrubs were
sitting back on the 15-yard line and
retreating rapidly.
There is no doubt but that the Michi-
gan Agricultural college will be able
to handle their plays in a better fash-
ion than the scrubs did yesterday.
The athletic association hopes as
much, otherwise some of the spec-
tatOrs may instigate legal proceedings
to collect money obtained under false
representation. The athletic associa-
tion has advertised a football game for
-the morrow.
No matter how well the Aggies play,
'from present indications they're going
to have a hard time gaining much
ground against that Michigan defense
if it plays in the same fashion that it
did yesterday. Everybody was travel-
ing at top speed and a repetition for
tomorrow is all that will be required.
Coach Yost left scrimmage yesterday
shortly after it began, departing for
Jackson where he was booked to de-
liver an address on prohibition. After
seeing what he did, the coach should
have been in the proper mood to con-
vert the worst offender against demon
rum that hibernates in Jackson, and
Jackson isn't noted particularly for a
lack of offenders in this connection.
Reports from Lansing bespeak of
untold confidence in the Aggie eleven.
The results of the last three years have
fired the Farmers with enthusiasm and

Watson, Millard, Norton, Cochran,
Reimann, and Whalen. Not a single
one of these men will start the game
and there is only one man in the group
that is on the squad. This is Whalen.
Comparisons are unfair, but man to
man, this year's line is much stronger
than was last year's.
In the backfield last year Michigan
started with Roehm, Maulbetsch, Eber-
wein and Bastian. Michigan's present
backfield composed of Sparks, Smith,
Raymond, and of course Captain Maul-
betsch, is infinitely stronger than the
quartet that represented the Maize and
Blue last year.
M. A. C. will have Butler, Straight,
Frimodig, Blacklock, and Hubel in ad-
dition to Captain Henning. All of
these men started against the Wol-
verines in last year's battle.
FRESH WORK HARD FOR RACE
On the Other Hand the Sophs Seem
to Be Doing a Little Sleeping
Between halves, as heretofore an-
nounced, of the Washington football
game, there will be a feature event in
the form of a race between the sophs
and fresh. Each class will be repre-
sented by a relay team composed of
eight men, each man running 220 yards
for the supremacy of his class.
The event will be staged within full
view of the stands on the circular
track and the whole campus will wit-
ness whether sophs or frosh can turn
out the superior aggregation of speed-
sters. Once more the two classes will
have an opportunity to carry their
rivalry to the ordeal by cinders.
In view of having an opportunity to
hand the sophs a beating the fresh-
men are out working like a collection
of Dan Patches.
But the sophs are still sleeping, and
it looks as though the yearlings will
steal a march on their second year
brethren. Only about four sophs have
reported for practice with the inten-
tion of trying to tramp on the verdant
ones.
Take heed, you laggard 1919 men, of
your team will play second fiddle to
the lowly frosh.

THREE CORNELL SRS
BARRED FROM ATHLETICS

Faculty Says
Clary

Eckley, Valentine, and
Played Summer
Baseball

Ithaca, Oct. 19.-Declaring that they
have taken part in summer baseball
games, the Cornell faculty has barred
Eckley, star end of last year's team
and shortstop for the baseball team,
Clary this year's captain and catcher,
and left fielder Valentine, from further
participitation in athletics.
The ruling Vnder which Eckley was
dismissed takes in all summer base-
ball, whether for pay or not. Eckley
declared the games he played did not
bring him any money. Money was
taken in at the gates, he said. His
absence from the football squad is
keenly felt this year.
The Cornell eleven is being put
through a hard practice in prepara-
tion for the game with Bucknell Sat-
urday.
CORNELL SCORES TWICE WHEN
LINED UP AGAINST SECONDS
Ithaca, N. Y., Oct. 19.-Cornell got
down to hard work this afternoon
when the Varsity and second team
fought out a bitter scrimmage. The
regulars scored two touchdowns, Bretz
and Van Horn carrying the ball over.
Benedict also got a field goal. Second
string men got a chance on the Varsity
today, Shiverick, Ryerson, and Mueller
not playing at all and Benedict, Hoff-
man, and Mueller going in for part
time service only. Bretz, playing quar-
ter, took advantage of his opportunity
to make a number of rattling runs, one
of them a 20-yard burst through the
line for a touchdown in which he dis-
played good fighting qualities. The
second team on several occasions held;
the Varsity.
Ensworth and Zander played fairly
well at ends, but the most noticeable
feature of the end play is the improve-
ment shown by Hoff, a recruit from
last year's freshman team. Taylor, a
big sophomore, made a good impres-
sion at left guard, where he subbed
for Miller. The coaches this year are
developing & second team that prom-
ises to be good enough to keep the1
Varsity on the jump all of the time.
Tilley, one of the men remaining
over from last fall, donned togs today
and began to get into condition. He
will work out lightly for a few days
before trying to get into the lineup.a

MANY FOOTBALL SPIES COME
TO SEE YALE GAME TODAY
New Haven, Conn., Oct. 19.-Foot-
ball spies are cluttering up New
Haven today intent upon seeing Yale's
team in action tomorrow against Vir-
ginia Poly. The fact that Yale's game
this week is scheduled for Friday in-
stead of Saturday has made it easy
for rival elevens to send men to the
conflict.
Coach Tad Jones probably will try
to send his men through the game with
his plays covered and with only sec-
ond string men forming most of the
eleven.
PENN FACULTY BARS NEILL;
PLAYED FOOTBALL 4 YEARS
Philadelphia, Oct. 19.-Philly Neill,
stellar right guard of the University
of Pennsylvania's Varsity, and last
year a contender for that position on
the all-American team, has been ad-
judged ineligible by the faculty to
play for Pennsylvania this season.
Protests that Neill had played col-
lege football for four years were up-
held by the faculty. The blow is al-
most a K.O. for Bob Folwell, it is
said.
Japan Going to Have Basketball
Tokio, Japan, Oct. 19.-While in this
country the baseball team from thel
Japanese University of Waseda were
so favorably struck by the value of
basketball as a sport for collegians
that they purchased equipment for the
game and will this winter introduce it
into the three big universities of Tokio.
Mikami, the tennis player, is so
strong for the game that he will add
his influence and skill as a player to
the efforts of the baseball players to
make the sport a feature of Japanese
intercollegiate contests.

With the game but 30 hours away and

Fifteen thousand five hundred paste-

ing 7,000 reserved seats will be sold
by noon tomorrow. The entire block
of 4,500 seats sent to East Lansing

defeat of Pennsylvania by Captai

gregation gathered on the South Stal
Kreet pasture was that at the Minne

Copher battled for the western chan
yiouship. The figures for this contes
totalled 23,000, a most remarkabl
crowd considering the limited seatin
facilities at that time.
Third on the list is the M. A. I
game of last year. On that day of sa
mem~ry,'22,000 persons were pushe
hauled, or dragged through the Ferr,

ever drawn. When the Olive an
White warriors triumphed over th

Welch, a graduate of the University of
Pennsylvania, has taken the position
of director of athletics at Hobart and
began his work with the opening of

athlete in his school and college days,
playing baseball, basket ball, and foot-
ball equally well. He captained his
football team at Penn in his freshman
year and made the Varsity as half back

CAN YOU IMAGINE IT?
-By The Dictaphone

Just heard a good joke!
Our guests of tomorrow
who hail -from the capital

afternoon
city, are

responsible for this laugh, and they
certainly do take down the little old
brown derby for being the kidders.
The wild dream which has just de-
tached itself from the mystery of the
Aggie camp is to the effect that in
case they beat Michigan saturday,
for the first time in years the Wol-
verines will have no alibi! Sounds
interesting, doesn't it?
Here's the way they ladle out the
dope: M. A. C. is now confirming
strictly to the three-year playing-limit
rule and the one-year residence rule.
All of which is supposed to mean that
a football player can play no longer
than three years on a Varsity team,:
and that no one can play on the
Varsity until he has been in residence
a full year at the Farmer institution.

Those rules are just like the ones at
Michigan, and so far, so good!
But they don't stop there! They
let their imaginations rove all over the
skylight, with the result that our agri-
cultural cousins say they are meeting
Michigan on even ground-in other
words, that they are confirming to the
same rules as those which bind Michi-
gan, and that they are following them
this year.
Looking over the eleven which will
represent the Aggies Saturday, we find
that three of their foremost gridders
would not be eligible to play with
Michigan, were they members of the
Wolverine Varsity under the same con-
ditions that they play with M. A. C.
Captain Henning and Blacklock are
now completing on the Aggie Varsity
their fourth season, while Jacks has
never put in a full year at the cow
college.
But it's a good joke, anyway!
