.# S '17 CHEDULES OUGLASS AND PONTIUS SIGNED AS ASSISTANTS AGREEMENTS WITH COACHES ARE CONTRACTS FOR ONE YEAR Three Varsity athletic schedules were presented to the board in control of athletics yesterday. All were rati- fied. The Varsity football, baseball and track charts are out for public perusal after much speculation on the part of the campus and the athletic world in general. The track sched- ule includes both indoor and outdoor seasons. Among other important matters are of the most outstanding was the rati- fication of the contracts of Varsity as- sistant football coaches, Douglass and Pontius, respectively, for another year of relations with the University. Both agreements are one year instruments, thus assuring the 1917 eleven of the same coaching staff which trained last fall's Varsity. The work of both coaches as respective bowers to Coach Fielding 1. Yost, was of such char- acter as to make their assistance of prime importance as well as interest. The question of securing a Varsity basketball coach was given consider- able attention and discussed. No definite action was taken on the mat- ter. The question of securing a man for the position was suspended until more time could be devoted to the task of negotiating with applicants to a greater extent. By far the greater part of the time was devoted to the various schedules. No action was taken regarding the baseball team's trip charts, or regard- ing the schedules for the All-Fresh teams, in track, football, or baseball. Those questions were left until an- other meeting. Athletic Director Bartelme refused to make any statement regarding any possible discussion of conference mat- ters at the sitting, saying that there Is absolutely nothing to make public. 'nosh Track len Gather Tuesday Varsity Celebraties and Athletic Au- thorities to Preside at Function Tuesday evening at 7:30 o'clock the official 1917 All-Fresh track season will be launched.

Everyi man in the first year class who ex- pects to try out for the team or who is interested in the sport at all is urged to attend the gathering Tuesday night. The whole purpose of the meeting is to get ambitious cinder men togeth- er and get them acquainted with the expectations of the coach and others in authority and to generate some real fight. According to dope the yearlings have plenty of that commodity as well as ability, and all that is needed to make the gathering a success is a good attendance.

Michigan's Varsity football schedule as ratified by the board in control yes- terday afternoon contains two surpris- es. Both center in the same city. Michigan meets Kalamazoo College and the Western State Normal school. Kalamazoo College draws Nov. 3 date while the Normalites appear on Ferry field for an early season game. Michigan has eight games booked, seven of which are in Ann Arbor, while the remaining affair is to be played in Philadelphia. The Wolver- ines will wind up the home season against Cornell, Nov 10. A week later they make the annual eastern pil- grimage, meeting Philadelphia in the alternate year arrangement which has obtained in the case of Cornell and Pennsylvania ever since the two in- stitutions have been booked. The athletic association authorities announced some time ago that they would schedule an easy game for the Varsity footballers on the first Sat- urday in November, as the team finish- es the season with two hard games, and Nebraska and Michigan Agricul-- tural College are the two games pre- ceeding. Both of these last mentioned affairs will prove hard fought games and the team will welcome a let-up affair against a less formidable op- ponent. The University of Detroit has secur- ed a date, but this is no surprise, as word from the City of the Straits has foretold this in advance of the ap- pearance of the schedule. This means that Michigan will play four of her eight games against institutions with- in the state. Feb. 17.-Notre Dame University at Ann Arbor. Feb. 22.-Syracuse University at Sy- racuse, N. Y.

Two Varsity track schedules were given out by the athletic association in consequence of the board of con- trol meeting yesterday afternoon. Two western meets appear on the chart for the season, the western intercolleg- iates to be held at Champaign, Ill., and that with the Missouri Athletic club at St. Louis. Cornell again appears on a Michigan indoor schedule after a lapse of three years. The indoor list offers a strong com- bination of competitors. Notre Dame always has a strong team and is gen- erally stronger on an indoor track than out on the cinders. Syracuse is equally strong and nearly always pre- sents a well-balanced team. At the western intercollegiates Michigan will meet the pick of the western indoor aggregations and will be a good index as to the comparative strength of the east and west in view of the Wolver- ines' battles with Syracuse and Cor- nell.
