PROVIDENCE N7 FALL SEASON THIS EN INS Meeting of All Track Men Scheduled for 7:30 o'Clock in Physics Auditorium The top will be officially pried off Michigan's 1917 Varsity track season this evening at 7:30 o'clock, in the West Physics auditorium. Manager Sanders will be the person entrusted with the prying properties. Other speakers for the occasion will be Professor Aigler of the Law depart- ment, chairman of the board in, con- trol of athletics, Coach Farrell, Cap- tain Carroll, and Athletic Director Bartelme. Manager Sanders last night ex- pressed the desire that all men inter- ested in track activites be at the meet- ing, tonight so that the season may be started at once. It is understood that the indoor meets will commence earl- ier than usual this year. For this rea- son it behooves Michigan to place her strongest men on the gym floor just as early as possible. Coach Farrell has made it plain that it is not stars in the track realm that Michigan is after any more than it is men who can make the third and fourth places in different events. The Varsity has had altogether too few men to work with in the past. Hope is expressed that this season will bring about the desired change and bring out men trying out for positions on the squad. Michigan's representation in the number of track candidates is not what it should be compared with other schools. Cornell, which has won the Intercollegiates the past two seasons, presents more than double the num- ber of men to its coach than does Michigan. Other schools with which Michigan holds meets, almost without exception have more material out than do the Wolverines. Fewer tracksters than usual report- ed to the coach yesterday for a work- out. Those who were out were hand- icapped somewhat in their endeavors by the preparations which were made for the inaugural parade of the Mich- igan naval reserves. Farrel stated yesterday that the new running track would be in shape for the longer distance men the first of next week, enabling the coach to go ahead with his squad as usual. '16 Men Get Positions in New York Howard Burrell, '16E, and Arthur Phillipps, '16, have resigned their pos- itions at the city engineer's office to work for the Ingersoll Rand company, in Painted Post, New York. They will leave Sunday. Alarm clocks, $1.00 up. Chapman, Jeweler, 113 South Main St. tues-eod Two Institutions Met Two Years Ago When Orange Came Off Winner Providence, R. I., Jan. 10.-BrOwn is to play Syracuse in this city on Saturday, Nov. 3. Coming between the Harvard and Yale games, which are to be played at Cambridge and New Haven as usual, it should provide a strong home attraction, something that was lacking in the tentative schedule as first announced. Brown played Syracuse two years ago on Andrews field in this city, and Syracuse won by a score to 6 to 0. It is understood that a two-year agreement has been signed, but that the game to be played next year at Syracuse will come at a much earlier date, probably on one of the first Saturdays in October. This past season Syracuse's New England game was with the Dart- mouth eleven at Springfield. The big intercollegiate game at Springfield this year is to be between Dartmoutn and Brown, these two colleges having patched up their athletic differences. One more game has been added to the Brown schedule for next fall. Middlebury is to play here on Satur- day, Oct. 13, the day following the game with Holy Cross at Worcester. Two games on successive days will be somewhat of an innovation for a Brown eleven, but with a big squad no trouble is anticipated. ALL-FRESH TRACK CALL IS DELAYED BY GYM CONDITIONS On account of condition of the track in the gym which is at pres- ent undergoing repairs, the All-Fresh track brigade has not been summoned for indoor work. The official call for the 1920 runners and jumpers will probably be issued sometime next week, The yearlings seem to be well sup- plied with promising material and the dope seems to point to a successful season in this branch of athletics. The victory over the sophomores last fall between the halves of the Wash- ington game showed that the first relay team was something more than a name and if this quartet developes according to expectations it will pro- bably form one of the contestants in the Pennsylvania relays, held during the latter part of April. .-- PlanaPurchase of Jefferson's Home Washington, Jan. 10.-Agreement to purchase Monticello, home of Thomas Jefferson, if a reasonable prpice can be obtained was reached today by the house public building and grounds committee.

UMAULE VIM1 UL As used by Yale, it was nothing more than an aerial heave of 30 or more yards, made by the rear halfback down the center of the field, with the ends racing down as under a kick. The strength of the play rested in the fact that the opponents had only one player down the field to make the catch, while thexNew Haven eleven had two husky ends. The ball was thrown high, so that the end had sufficient time to cover the catch. Two men jumping with only one opponent to block them from making the catch was thought to be a safe enough proposi- tion for Yale to try in her big games. The remarkable results obtained by the blue-clad players caused the final perfection of what today is regarded as the deadliest play of the game. Where Yost Appears. The next step in the growth of the forward pass is credited to Hurry Up Yost, the Michigan coach. Up to this time the method employed in making the aerial heave was the end-over-end throw. It was a very uncertain meth- od and one that made it difficult for any player to throw to any spot with any degree of certainty. The wind and the condition of the weather proved controlling factors in the pass in those days. A man could not hurlf the pigskin forward against a stiff' breeze nor could he heave it in any direction, if the ball had been damp- ened by the weather. Yost discovered that if the ball was held in the palm of the hand, with the fingers grasping the lacing, the' arm drawn back over the shoulder and the ball hurled forward as a baseball! that a spiral pass would be the re- sult. This spiral throw has been the real reason the forward pass has final- cessful use.

Maulie last night confirmed rumors from the Ohio city relative to the pos- ition by saying that Waite is trying to secure him. "As yet I have decided nothing in regard to the proposition, but shall take the matter under advisement," Maulie stated. Waite is especially desirous of land- ing the Michigan star as head of the 1917 team, realizing that by coaching of the type Maulbetsch could offer, the school would be able to offer a much better team than they have so far had. It is understood that Coach Mason of this year's team is to be athletic director of the school, and that the position is thus open. The Michigan Daily for service. 'l ack ,Frost with his chilly blasts and wear a back. This man heaved the pigskin forward to either end, who during the time that the ball was being passed about in the backfield deployed them- selves to uncovered spots on the grid- iron. The "delayed forward pass" was made by having the quarter fake a pass to one of the backs for a plunge through the line, and instead of pass- ing the ball to run back five yards to the rear, and hurl the ball to either end, who in the meantime had left their places at the extremity of the line of scrimmage and taken up posi- tions to the outside and considerably beyond the secondary defense of their opponents. It was this style of play that Glenn Warner, while head coach at Carlisle, perfected to such a degree that the redmen succeeded in forging to the foremost ranks of the gridiron sport. Warner, however, used a criss-cross pass behind his line in developing his ends to places of advantage. The pres- ent Pittsburg coach also combined the forward pass with his famous "wing shift" formation. Thus by sending a shift to the right Warner tricked his opponents into massing their entire defense in front of his shifted team, ex- pecting a play through the strong side, JOE WRIGHT TO COACH RED AND BLUE CREW CANDIDATES Philadelphia, Pa., Jan. 10.-All be- lief atnong tmdergraduates at the Uni- versity of Pennsylvania that Joe Wright would be unable to coach the Red and Blue crews this season van- ished this afternoon when the Can- adian rowing mentor appeared in the athletic association quarters to report in Weightman hall tomorrow. Candidates for the track team have also been called out by Coach Law- ton Robertson. As a majority of last year's star trackmen have been lost to the Red and Blue by graduation, Coach Robertson will have a difficult time in rounding out a Varsity team.
