bil ItLL OK MATRIAL II Hal Smith's Quota of Points Will Be Greatly Missed This Coming Sea. son in Cinder Sport CARROLL ONLY POINT WINNER Nine points out of the total col- lected by Michigan at last spring's in- tercollegiates at Boston left Michigan for good last June when ex-Captain Hall Smith received his diploma. Of the other four counters garnered by the Maize and Blue in the big col- lege classic, the entirety is centered in one man-Eddie Carroll, this sea- son's captain. Eddie finished second to Windnagle, the Cornell whiz, who negotiated the distance in the fastest time ever made by any college miler with the exception of John Paul Jones. Windnagle's time was 4:15. Eddie's was a fraction more than a second slower. On the face of things Michigan has poor prospects in'the track world this season. Two years ago the Wolver- ines' total added up to 16 points, with 13 of them remaining in school last year-Smith and Carroll. With those 13 they were able to break but even, acquiring the same number.' Counts on Cross and Simmons. Coach, Farrell encountered some tough breaks in the luck last spring in losing two very good prospects of seeming intercollegiate caliber. Cross and Simmons both went to Boston, but neither was himself. At the time Cec contracted a setback he was heaving the shot plenty far enough to finish in the point class. Vic was negotiating six feet in the high jump with a regu- POPULAR larity which means a great deal in track, and was just rounding into form, so that it seems very probable that the tall Hoosier lad would have added on an inch, possibly more to his work of just before spring vaca- tion. But Vic pulled some tendons in his jumping leg, and was not himself the rest of the year. His performance in the Stanford dual controversy late in May raised some hope, but the next week he was unable to show his real ability. The fact remains that Michigan is in need of good track material, not some one who can be developed into another Smith, or another Carroll in- side of three weeks, but some one who is willing to get out and work. The pole vaulting prospects to date are about the same as last year, when Michigan considered herself lucky to get a third plae in a dual meet. High jumpers and shot putters are none too strong by a wide margin. The regents have remodeled the gym so that there Is no longer any reason for the poor conditions which used to prevail. The coach is ready to take care of anyone who wishes to come out. Haughton Cries for Eligibility Harvard Coach Declares That Loss of Three Stars Through Scholarship Wrecked Crimson's Chances Cambridge, Mass., Dec. 14.-In in- dividual letters addressed to prospec- tive members of next year's football squad at Harvard, Coach Percy D. Haughton declares that the recent de- feat of the Crimson at New Haven might have been averted had Har- vard's team not been wrecked by the probation of three of its stars last win- ter. The letter in part reads as fol- lows: "This defeat can be traced back to slackness between the time of last year's game and mid-year, when men whose presence on the team would probably have turned the scale, got on probation, their services being finally lost to the team. "If we are to have a successful sea- son next year,,every one must get into the best possible trim, mentally and physically. "The main thing is to begin now and be sure that these mid-year marks are good." Manager Robb is a co-signer of the letter with Coach Haughton, but the latter himself asks each player to hang the communication over his desk as a daily reminder until the mid-year exams are over. The letters will then be collected by the football manage- ment. Wisconsin Wants Wolverines Back Prominent Men to Circulate Petitions Ursing Michgan's Return to Conference Madison, Wis., Dec. 14.-"Wisconsin has never opposed Michigan's re-en- tering conference," said Prof. J. F. A. Pyre, member of the athletic council and faculty representative of the Big Nine meeting at Chicago, "and we stand ready to welcome the Wolverines back into the fold at any time." Prof. Pyre was a member of Wisconsin teams in the days when Michigan was on the Badger schedule. Prominent students will circulate petitions around the campus urging the return of Michigan. Expressions by former Michigan men are in favor of return, and call for Wisconsin rep- resentatives to go to Big Nine meet- ings primed to work for such an ar- rangement.

Princeton Should Play Wolverines Grantland Rice States That Tigers Ought to Book 1917 Contest With Michigan Football Team Grantland Rice, one of the recog- nized sporting critics aid, authorities of the country, has the following to say regarding Princeton's football schedule in the Louisville Herald: "Princeton football, having fallen into a rut of late years, might help to start a revival by a new schedule ar- rangement. The addition of Michigan or Pennsylvania to the Tiger sched- rle next fall might help more than a mere mite. "Both Penn and Michigan, even when their material is not of the highest or- der, have systems that are worth ob- serving. And the best way to profit Crom any football system is to play against it, and so gather information first hand, or first foot, as the case might be. "Rush has made an advance, de- spite the Tiger showing, but Prince- ton hasn't yet been soaked heavily enough in the right sort of football knowledge. A Penn or a Michigan game would help in this direction." Estimates on painting, paper hang- in, or any kind of decorating, cheer- Iully given Phone 237, C. H.
