of the meet in the slightest.
This win makes two victories for
the Wolverines out of the four pos-
sible chances.. Of the other two races,
one was a clear defeat at the hands of
the Syracuse veterans and a place in
the Intercollegiate cross country run
which showed a marked improvement
over last year. Coach Farrell is well
satisfied with the team's record.

Michigan wound up the 1916 cross
country season yesterday by winning
the Belle Isle race, by the lowest pos-
sible score, six points. Eddie Carroll
took individual honors easily, running
three and one-half' miles' in 19 min-
utes and 17 seconds.
Michigan captured the first three
places in a row, FTox and Sedwick fol-
lowing Car roll past the tape in handy
style. Benson, of the Finnish athletic
club, of Detroit, ran fourth, with Cap-
tain Kuivenen taking fifth. Bachtel
of the Wolverine team placed sixth
with Harbin, of Albion, taking seventh,
followed by Bouma of the winning
team with the Detroit Y. M. C. A.
spearing ninth and another Albion
runner getting tenth. Fuess, of Mich-
igan, finished eleventh. Out of the
first eleven places Michigan took sev-
en, including the first three.
The cup offered by the Detroit "Y"
was permanently annexed by the Anti
Arbor delegation yesterday, the .vic-
tory making the third consecutive win
in the Detroit "Y's" Thanksgiving Day
event. Three wins were required to
take away the. troply. In addition
to the main award, seven out of the
13 cups .offered for individual show-
ing were brought back to Ann Arbor
by members of the Maize and Blue
team.
Albion college took second in the
meet with the seventh, tenth and
thirteenth places to their credit, a
total of 30 points. Michigan thus had
a margin of 24 points to win. Only
the first thr~ee places counted for each
team.
Owing to another meet held at
Grand Rapids yesterday a great many
of the Michigan institutions failed to
enter the race at Detroit. The teams
running strongest in the Belle Isle
classic were Michigan, .Albion, De-
troit Y. M. C. A., Finnish athletic club
of Detroit, and Detroit Central.
Addington, the Albion harrier who
ran second to. Carroll in the state meet
ot East Lansingr nearly three weeks
ago, was not entered in yesterday's;
affair. His running might have low-
ei~ed the Albion score somewhat, but

Franklin Field, Philadelphia, Nov.
30.-Ofn the ,totem pole at the niver-
sity of Pennsylvania a Cornell scalp~
was hung this afternoon for the first
time since 1912. Under furious smash-,
ing by a lighter team playing on a*
sodden, marshy field, the Ithacans
went down to defeat at-the-hands of
the Red and Blue team by the score
of 23 to 3. Despite the size of the
score it was one of the hardest fought
games ever seeu here.
It brought to Franklin field the larg-
est crowd on record, 32,000 persons,
filling every bit of available space, It
was the football classic for Penn and

Winter at Michidgani is a drab sort or an affair. Thera is~ no point at
whichi all campus. interests meet. In the fall the student body gets to-

team's work~. In the spring, the studlents once more gather oni Ferry field
and give vent to unanimnousi appeals to Brandell for a two-bagger' or to Ead-
die CarrolIl for a little extra spurt. But during the 'Winter there is no such

Officials of .the intramural athletic department state that ther'e .,i'mre
interest in basketball than in any other inter-elass sport. Last winter tle~
were 17 teams centered in the class basketball league," using during te
course of the season a total of over 200 players.'The intramural offilcials
are also responsible for the statement that the quality of-play illt the bask- ..

petition would not be desirable. There are- scores of middle,-western col-
leges with good reputations in the court ga.me who-would be more than glad-
to have a Wolverine game on their schedules. .-.Besides these there are the',
big colleges of the east, south, and Missouri yale-ywit~h whom r'elation,
might be established. Then there are indepenfdent teams in thils section ci

MIlICHIGAN ALUMNI ARE WONDERING WHY THEA UNIVERSITY IS NOTI

SNORT MEN, TJHAT IS, MEN WHO PLAY BOTH FOOTBALL AND BASK-1
F'TBALI1, WILLI NOT COME TO A SC1OOL- WHERE Tn EY CANNOTc
COMPETE IN BOTH SPORTS.
It is known beyond a shadow of doubt thaat Mi~chigan has lost many men
for this very reason. The average football player makes a goo'd basket-
ball player. Many of the same qualities are demanided of participants in'
both games and the football-basketball comibination is a common one among
prep-school boys. It is only natural that a ~boy~, finding himself adept in both _
sports, should give his preference to a college where he could compe te int
both. Many of the brighest stars of the gridiron are also basketball play-,

ers. Elmer Oliha~nt,called{ by ~some

Michigan~ wants a Varsity basketball
team, first, because the student body
has shown by its interest in the class
gamhes that it is ndeeded; second, be-
cause the athletic void between foot-
-ball and baseball should be filled by
some Varsity sport and basketball is
the only one that i's practicable; and,
thrd, because the 'sport will aid in
b~ringin~g prep-school athletes to the
Un~iversity. In opposition, there seems
to be no objection that cannot easily
be met.-
