LIT TIE STANDS Anvil Pounders and Yearlings Battle Whole Game and Two Extra Periods 7 TO 7 IS SCORE THIS TIME Hopes of breaking the deadlock be- tween the soph engineers and the fresh lits, who had tied in two games and an extra ten-minute period of play were shattered again yesterday after- noon when theyearlings and anvil pounders battleds through a regular four-quarter game to a 7-7 tie. The worn-out sport writer prayed for some- thing to happen when the two teams agreed to continue play for another ten-minute period. Ten minutes were not enough. Another five-minute scrap was arranged, and played at once. The score still is a tie. The engineers' score came in the second quarter, when Garrett plowed through a temporarily disorganized freshman team and crossed the line. Middleditch kicked goal. In the post-schedule ten-minute period, Biggers of the anvil pounders threatened to end the agony by run- ning half the length of the field, only to have his teammates pushed back on the succeeding plays. Funk took much of the hard work of the extra periods. Haigh and Mid- dleditch nearly always found the holes. Nyman, engineer manager, played his usual steady game. Kane of the yearlings had his speed and dodging ability, but was slowed down by the fact that the enemy concen- trated on him in the first part of the game. Biggers waj nimble on end runs for the anvil pounders, and Edwards, end man for the lits, was just as nimble in stopping those same and runs. Kerr and Gille'spie also were handy men at defense. The lineup follows: Soph engineers-Mooney, i.e.; Lewis, 1.t.; Nyman and Sommers, l.g.; Ren- wis and Martins, c.; Pettyjohn, r.g.; Cooper and Paden, r.t.; Biggers, r.e.; Storrer, q.; Haigh, I.h.; Middleditch, r.h.; Garrett, f.b. Fresh lits-Edwards, I.e.; Gillespie, 1.t.; Campbell, l.g.; Bornstein, c.; Schmok, r.g.; Fralick, r.t.; Zapp, r.e.; Kerr, q.; Kane, I.h.; Merrifield and Funk, r.h.; Anderson, f.b. The tie will be played off at 3:30 o'clock, Monday afternoon. TWO DAYS UNTIL 311I(ANENSIAN SUBSCRIPTION VAMPAIWN. SAVE 40 CENTS E. S.

BOAROING HOUSE MEN WILL PLA1YBASKETBALL League of Men from Each House Soon Will Start Practice; All May Enter t ne intramural department is going to give the boarding house man ac chance to play basketball this year. Due to the fact that a great deal of interest is being shown in the indoor sport every boarding house will be given an opportunity to enter a team in the league to be started in the near future. A meeting to arrange a schedule and other details will be held soon and each house desiring to enter the league may elect a manager who will re- port at this meeting to assist in making plans. Only one team from each house, will be permitted to enter the race. A practice schedule will be announced one week before the season opens. Every student who is interested will be given an opportunity to sign up on Monday. After signing his own name, the entry will then write down the name of the man from his boarding house whom he would like to see in the position of manager for his house. From this list each manager will be chosen. Out of about 30 houses a good number of entries should be secured. Experience or knowledge of the game are no issue in this league. Any stu- dent who wants to play is urged to enter. Further announcement will be made. PLANS COMPLETE FOR RANGE Rifle Team Soon Will Shoot In Wa- terman Gymnasium Plans for the rifle range in the un- finished pool room in the basement of' Waterman gymnasium are now com- plete. There will be ten or 12 shoot- ing points and the same number of targets. The construction will have to be deferred for a while until the con- tractors have completed the installa- tion of a heating system in the part of the building to be used for the range. As soon as the range is ready for use the Rifle club will institute a series of individual matches among its members. Prof. C. E. Wilson, who is in charge of team practice, will of- ficiate and will keep his eye peeled for individual stars. Judging from the attendance at the first meeting of the Rifle club, a large number of men will answer the call for candidates in this tournament. Prizes will be awarded to the winners. The first contest in the National Rifle association's tournament will not take place until the last week in Jan- uary. The Wolverines will compete in Class "A" this year and among other opponents will have M. A. C. High Vlileage Will Not Prevent 1 gasket ball; Cite M. A.C. Schedule In the opinions on Varsity basket- ball printed so far tv The Daily, the chief, and in fact il _. only, objection has been the difficulty of securing games. The fact that Michigan's stat-! us in the athletic world is unsettled at the present time has been held up as a reason why a Wolverine -basket- ball schedule could not be filled. It has been said that the eastern teams are too far away and that the western teams that were eligible were not in Michigan's class. In reference to the first statement, the western conference basketball league may be taken as an example. The Ohio State team, when it meets Minnesota at Minneapolis, travels ap- proxmately 625 miles. It goes 300 miles to play Chicago and 500 to en- gage Iowa on the Hawkeyes' court. Michigan would have to journey 600 miles to play Nebraska, 450 to meet Vanderbilt, 400 to' battle Pennsylvania, and about 300 to take on Cornell at Ithaca. It would seem from this that the most far-flung schedule the Wol- verines might undertake would com- pare favorably with the one Ohio State plays every year. And there would undoubtedly be good competition much closer than that al0'eady indicated. The state bask- etball championship in Michigan is fought out every year by three teams, M. A. C., the Detroit "Y", and Hope College. It should not be a hard mat- ter to get a place on the schedule of any of these teams. Then there are the strong Ohio and Indiana teams, Oberlin, Reserve, Case, Marietta, Wa- bash, Earlham, and De Pauw, to say nothing of Michigan's ancient rival, Notre Dame. In order to show that it is possible for a non-conference team in the west, to fill a basketball schedule, M. A. C.'s 1917 card is given below: Jan. 12.-West Virginia Wesleyan at East Lansing.

Prep School Teams May Meet in Wa- terman Gym for Title Litramural Director Rowe stated yesterday that a tournament to decide the state high school basketball title will be held in Waterman gymnasium about the last Thursday, Friday, and Saturday in February, or on those three days during the first week of March. The tourney will be in the nature of an interscholastic meet such as the one held for track artists every spring, with the exception that the contests for the basketball title will be limited to high schools within the boundaries of the commonwealth. No definite plans have been formu- lated as yet, but action will probably be taken at the next meeting of the board of control. Arrangements will depend upon that action, but a ma- jority of the members of the board have expressed themselves as favor- ing the project, so that tentative plan- ning may be engaged in. DIRECTOR BARTELME RETURNS FROM EAST Refuses to Discuss Schedule for Next Year: May Elect Captain in Few tlays Director of outdoor athletics Bartel- me returned from the east yesterday but refused to discuss anytlhing re- lating to the 1917 football schedule. Mr. Bartelme's extended stay in the east gave rise to much speculation re- garding the contests to be placed on the Wolverine chart. Rumor will still be in full sway for a while until the Athletic association definitely ar - nounces the schedule of g'anes. It is almost certain that nothing will be done to assuage the curiosity of the campus until after the next meeting of the board in control of athletics which comes next Saturday. Mean- while divers opinions will be aired by the campus amateur authorities. Probably Michigan will have her new football captain within the en- suing week. Now that Peach is able to navigate and Mr. Bartelme has re- turned, the Varsity electoral college may gather and vote the job on some- body. And again while they are wait- ing for the voice of the team to be heard the university wise-acres will hold council and decide it all before- hand. They will probably have until the early part of the week before they will get the chance to say, "I told you so!" Judge Believes Golf Is Recreation Golf, according to a decision by Judge Jesse A. Baldwin of the Chicago circuit court, is a "beneficial recrea- tion" rather than an "amusement." TWO DAYS UNTIL MICHIGANENSIAN SUBSCRIPTllIMN CAMPAIf'N.
