It shows the number of contestants and teams in each interclass sport in- dulged in by the students last year. Basketball leads its nearest competi- tion, tennis, by 100 entries, football by 175, and baseball by 200. There were 16 football teams entered in the class league, employing 11 men apiece, giv- ing a total of 176 men playing regular- ly. Baseball had 21 teams of nine regular players, giving a total of 189 men. Basketball had 22 teams, em- ploying five men, giving a total of 110 regulars. Subtracting these figures from the total number who turned out for these sports, 340 men who were unable to play continually on basketball teams, 99 on football squads, and 61 in base- ball, making nearly four times as many men who tried out for basketball, knowing that the chance of their play- ing regularly on the team was at least doubtful, than tried out for football under the same conditions, and nearly six times as many as turned out for baseball. The report of the intramural depart- ment follows: Number Number MALIE PLED ON ALL-WESTERN TEAM Eckersall Also Names Dunne, Sparks, and Weske on His Second Outfit MINNESOTA GETS FIVE PLACES Captain John Maulbetsch was the only Michigan man honored by Walter Eckersall on his first All-Westerh team. Bull Dunne, Sparks, and Weske were selected by the Windy City critic for his second team. No one has ever yet selected an All- American, All-Western or All-Any- thing team that wasn't assailed by a host of critics, and Walter's choices probably won't prove any exception, but at the same time his aggregations are interesting since he is one of the recognized football critics of the coun- try and particularly so with reference to western football. Eckersall's selection of Maulbetsch meets with the unanimous approval of the Michigan campus and probably will with all western critics. The German Bullet played a wonderful game all year and his work was the distinct feature of nearly all of Michigan's games. Many were surprised to see that Eckersall did not place Bull Dunne on his first team as in the opinion of many there isn't a finer end in the west and but few that can equal the big left flanker in the coun- try. Baston of Minnesota is one of the individual football stars of the western conference and his selection is not a surprise, but Michigan students will solemnly afirm that Bull ought to draw the other assignment. Wyman to Bas- ton has proved the most effective for- ward pass combnation that the con- ference has ever seen, and if Bull were on the other extremity, Baston's glory would just be halved, for Bull can grab those long flings with the best of them. He doesn't have to take his hat off to anyone. Of course every western college be- lieves that it has several men who have been overlooked and this is only natural. Here at Michigan, popular opinion would seem to indicate that Eckersall has overlooked a good bet in Tad Wieman. Weske's choice at one of the tackles gives Michigan an ex- cellent showing, but give anyone an inch and they want the proverbial mile. Michigan's representation is a good one as the Wolverines have four men mentioned for the two teams. Minne- sota is the only aggregation having as many men picked, although the west- erners have the edge on the Wolver- ines since four 'of their players are on the first team. The selection of Hugh Blacklock of M. A. C. will probably be confirmed by Michigan men, as the Aggie star played an excellent game against the Maize and Blue. NO GAME SOCCER SEASON ENDS Trio of Attempted Meetings All Fall Through During Fall Lack of competition proved a knock- out blow to the soccer football team, the closing of whose season has Just been announced. The authorities at- tempted to schedule games with Ypsi Normal, Battle Creek Normal, and M. A. C., but all three efforts were unfruitful. The smallpox scare at Ypsilanti killed all chance of a con- test with the teachers,. the Battle Creekites disbanded their team along about mid-season, and the Farmer game was lost through inability to agree as to the scene of battle. A squad of 25 men worked with Coach Peirsol all season. Fleischer, and Panayotides showed a fine brand and Pannayotides showed a fine brand of soccer in the forward line. For the backfield positions, Cohen, Rush, O'Brien, and Mason were worthy con- tenders, while Tripolitis and Feizy, goal tenders, and Kiefer at center rounded out the aggregation.

Sisler hit .305 for the season and played in 151 of the 158 games that his team staged. Two of the players who rank ahead of Sisler numerically played in only a few games, so virtually the Michi- gander is eighth. The players who topped Sis during the year are the recognized stars of the game. Speaker led the league with .386 and was fol- lowed by Cobb, Jackson, Strunk, Col- lins, Gardner, Veach, and Sisler. In stolen bases, George stands well up among the leaders. Ty Cobb lead the circuit with Marsans, one of Sis- ler's teammates, second. Shotten, an- other St. Louis player, is third with Eddie Collins fourth. Tris Speaker ranks number five with a total of 35 thefts to his credit, while Sisler is just one shy of the Clevelander's mark and is sixth. In the matter of total bases, the former Michigan star also ranks up near the top, as he pounded out 21 doubles, 11 triples, and three home runs. In the matter of runs scored the one- time Wolverine is again found in the first ten. George completed the cir- cuit 83 times, while one Tyrus Ray- ,nond Cobb copped off first honors with a total of 113. Patterson Beats Fresh Laves By Cop- ping Pass Behind Goal By breaking all conventions of the season and winning a game before at least three or four preliminary draws had been staged, the senior engineers copped from the fresh laws y erday afternoon and walked off with the third set of numerals by a verdict of 6 to 0. The weather and the field being most unfavorable there was no men- tionable showing of rooters for either side. Enthusiasts undoubtedly ex- pecting another tie preferred to spend the dismal day in comfort and witness the final decision under more favor- able conditions. The laws were again at the disad- vantage of playing without several regulars. Johnson, Lambert and Hud- son were not in the lineup. The count scored by the winners was made by Patterson who grabbed the ball which was being batted about in the air after a pass, and dropped over the line for a touchdown. This play, the subject of ten minutes wrangling, was, made possible by the gains of Turner who had brought the leather within .the laws ten-yard line. During the earlier part of the contest two attempts were made at a field goal by the engineers. Both of these kicks which were accurately aimed 'fell short of the posts. The lineup: Engineers-Winch, 1. e.; Dresser, l.t.; Patterson, l.g.; Hyde, ,c.; Bedford, r.t.; Crandall, r.g.; Smith, r.e.; Dondero, q.; Turner, r.h.; Walt- erhouse, l.h.; Taylor, f.b.

This fact alone shows the value of the St. Loui star and with a few more years' experience under his belt, George is going to give them all a battle. Sis is the most popular player on the St. Louis club and one of the best liked individuals in the league.
