But not until a moment before time was called for the day did the fresh- men shove across the necessary win- ning touchdown. The final count was 12 to 9. In the early part of the play the verdants shoved Bill Hitchcock across the Reserves' line, but the older men were also doing things, and scored once themselves, adding a pretty drop kick for good measure. At the fourth kick off the contest waxed wearm.

THREE BRILLIANT STARS Landers, Eby, and Hough Prep Cinder- path Wonders Brighten Quakers' Prospects Philadelphia, Pa., Oct. 25.-Sherman Landers, who entered the University of Pennsylvania with a brilliant prepar- atory record in the middle west be- hind him, is the most promising track man in the freshman class, this fall. Landers' work in recent cinder tryouts attracted the attention of both coaches and spectators, and the lad from Il- linois looks like a find for the Quaker cinder squad. Landers recently ran the 100-yards in ten and one-fifth seconds, and the 220 in 22 2-5 seconds, both times starting from scratch in handicap races. His performance is remarkable for this time of year, as the cool weather has made track work inter- mittant throughout the fall. Eby, another freshman, ran a half mile in 2:01 4-5, taking his event with- out being pushed. Eby is being touted as "Ted" Meredith's successor at Penn- sylvania, and. his work has attracted as much attention as that of Landers. Hough, the third freshman find to be uncovered in the fall tryouts, jumped PITT GAME LOOMS UP ON QUAKER SCHEDULE Pennsy Team Leaves Today for Tussle With Husky Panther Eleven Philadelphia, Pa., Oct. 25.-"Bob" Folwell's "comeback" Pennsylviana eleven is working four hours a day in preparation for what may prove to be the hardest battle of the year on Saturday in Pittsburg. Pitt's vic- tory over Syracuse last week showed that Warner has a powerful eleven, his backfield being probably stronger than that of any other team in the_ country this fall. The Quakers are not confident of winning, but they will leave Philadelphia tomorrow night de- termined to put up the fight of their lives. Coach Folwell, while reticent as to the outcome of the Pittsburg game, believes that his team will put up a much stronger fight than Syracuse showed last week. Folwell says that he has solved the one big weakness of the Quaker team, and that all he needs is time to develope a really formidable eleven. Even if, Pitt does win Saturday's game, Pennsylvania will have plenty of time to get into trim to battle Michigan and Cornell WOLTERINEBSOCCER SQUAD PLAYS PSI Meets Normalities on Ferry Field in First Game of Season November 4 NEW MATERIAL BADLY NEEDED Soccer again is about to rise on the athletic horizon. It will have its of- ficial dawn when the Ypsi Normalities come over one week from Saturday, to engage the 1916 Wolverine soccer bat- talion on Ferry field. Last year the boys from Ypsi had the honor of tak- ing the first beating of the season from the first Varsity soccer team the Uni- versity had had for years and out of respect for their long-suffering, they are to be rewarded by being permitted to duplicate their performance of last year. Two games have been scheduled with the Ypsilanti team, one here and the other there. Last year both of the games between the two teams were won by the Michigan Varsity and al- though the visitors will be out for revenge, the reception committee which will endeavor to entertain them next Saturday is determined to make things interesting and confidence reigns on both sides of the fence. The score in the first game last season was 1-0 and the second result which followed the contest at Ypsilanti was a little more favorable to the Wolver- ine squad. The visitors will undoubtedly have a rather strong team and no doubt will have been devoting long periods to laying plans for the downfall of the Maize and Blue squad. Just how strong Michigan will be this year is as yet a matter for conjecture only. j The team has not been organized thus far and no captain has been elect- ed. No practice has been held and it will hence take some tall hustling toF whip the team into shape before the initial contest._ Last year the team was most cosmo- politan in its personal. Students in the University from China, Turkey, Armenia, Ca ada, Greece and Hawaii were numbd among the members of the Varsity squad. Some of the form- er stars were the 1915 Captain Tri- politis, Domboorajian, Hung, Feizy and Bates. It is impossible to say how many of these men will back again this year. Last season was closed with a clean record. Michigan won every game with ease. If the team this year is as strong as it was last, there is no rea- son why there should be any defeats chalked against the University at the end of the present season. It is the purpose of the Athletic as- sociation to put soccer at Michigan on a basis where that sport can compare favorably with the same at any east- ern institution. Soccer is a big sport in the east and in Canada, and there is no reason why Michigan should not be as strong in this branch of athletics as in any other. In order to make the team a success and to help boom the sport it becomes necessary for every man who has play- ed soccer to get out and try to land a birth on the Varsity. Any men who played on last year's team are es- pecially urged to come out. Freshmen are eligible for this sport and the first year class should furnish a host of re- cruits. The first practice will be held on Ferry field this afternoon and every afternoon thereafter at 3:30 o'clock. Lockers may be secured at the intra- mural club house. One S mi- Final This Afternoon Due to the bad weather neither match in the semi-finals of the ten- nis tournament was played off yester- day. If the weather permits, Hamer and Egbert will try to play off their match this afternoon, leaving ,the other match of the semi-finals between Codd and Bartz to be staged some- time tomorrow. If this arrangement is carried out the semi-finals will be finished by Friday night and the finals can be played Saturday morning. In this way a large gallery will be able to witness this important event. .No matter who succeeds in compet- ing for the cup, there is bound to be some exceedingly fast tennis played. Of the four remaining, contestants, Codd, Bartz, Hamer, and Egbert, each is able to show a brand of tennis that will compare very favorably with that put up by Ralph Oster, winner of last year's tournament.

Edwin Ginn, a member of the scrub team, re- cently came down with a mild attack of the disease, and was sent to the isolated ward of the infirmary. Neith- er the first nor second teams are al- lowed to leave the university grounds, although they have not been forbidden to mingle with the other students on the campus. No restrictions have been placed on the other students. The Harvard eleven will play out its schedule this fall, as the health authorities do not anticipate any furth- er cases, believing that Ginn was ex- posed while absent from Cambridge some weeks ago. His roommate has been sent home under quarantine for two weeks.
