4. iIUI\ dUIILVULL PLEASES FARELL Steve Believes Varsity Cinder Path Program Is Best That Miich- igan Has Had COACH IS GREETED BY BIG TURNOUT qF TRACK ATHLETES Attention Is Centered Upon Coming Indoor Struggle Against Notre Dame Squad "The best schedule Michigan has ever had," was the expression of Coach Farrell yesterday respecting the 1917 track program announced Sunday. From the number of men, both fresh- men and Varsity aspirants who ap- peared yesterday, the same opinion must be prevalent. All afternoon the coach was busy putting tracksters of all kinds through their paces in the largest single day's turnout the coach has had this season. Nearly every athlete who has become identified with track proceedings to date was pres- ent. Following the schedule announce- ment, the athletes can see just how short a time it is before the opening assignment with Notre Dame's choic- est, down on the program for Feb. 17. Possibly the reason for the large turn- out can be assigned to the proximity of the first engagement, and to the quality of the meets which the Wol- verines have booked. Carroll Does Fast Mile. Farrell is not speeding up his ath- letes yet to. any marked degree, al- though several of the men have made fast time for so early in the season. Steve clocked Carroll the full ten laps this morning in 4:38 and Fontanna has done the quarter in close to 55 sec- onds. It is unlikely that Carroll will be sent at 4 much faster pace until the time for the Catholic duel, as it is well known what he can do. Others whose ability on the Varsity is well known will likewise be allowed to take things easy for some time, and the coach may extend this system to every- one out except the men in the field events. Wateh Catholics Saturday. An idea as to the strength of Notre Dame will be secured by the coach Sunday as the Catholics have a meet in Chicago Saturday night. The meas- ure of preparedness necessary to make a Michigan showing in the opening meet of the Wolverine season can be obtained from the reports on this meeting. Many of the athletes will work in the gym during examinations this year, owing to the fact that Michigan's date with the Catholics is during the first week of the second semester. HARVARD VARSITY FOOTBALL AGGREGATION STARTS WORK Members Who Will Compete for Jobs Next Fall Begin Winter Train- ing in Gym Cambridge, Mass., Jan. 22.-Harvard is taking its football seriously this winter despite official denials. The first movement in the campaign for 1917 was started when Coach Haughton and Manager Robb joined in sending a let- ter to every prospective candidate for the eleven next fall, asking each man to study hard for the approaching mid- year examinations. I order not to forget to do so, they advised the candi- dates that the letter be hung over their study desks, and also be held for Manager Robb, who is to collect them all after the examinations and com- pare the number he receives to the numbersent out. Harvard is having a little winter football for diversion. Every day in the week, except Saturday and Sun- day, there is work in the baseball cage from 2 to 3 o'clock. The first practice was held last week, with Arnold for- w een, Tubby Clark andRalph Hadley, and three other men including Captain Wheeler, present. Each candidate notified Manager Robb of the most convenient days that he could report in the cage and the football manager has made plans ac- cordingly. Any man participating in another sport is excused from cage work. Only the fundamentals will oc- cupy the attention of the players dur- ing the winter, according to Captain Wheeler, but this will tend to have them fit for work when spring prac- tice is started in mid-April.

Two names stand out when the golfing ball players are named. One is the veteran John Montgomery Ward,3 manager " of the Giants more than a score of years ago, and the other is; Arthur Shafer, who played with the Giants only a few seasons back. Both Ward and Shafer are amateur golfers, having been formally reinstated by the United States Golf association after1 fornia Golf association. He has been' a prominent figure in recent tourneys on the Pacific coast, although he has been playing golf only a couple of years. Everybody knows that Christy Math- ewson plays golf and does pretty well at the game, although he is far from being in the class with Ward and Shafer. Chief Bender is about on a par with Matty, although he is said to be extremely erratic, playing well one day and wretchedly the next.

Ithaca, N. Y., Jan. 22.-Serios op- position to the plan to give the varsity letter to managers of the major sport teams at Cornell has resulted in the postponement of decision on this point by the athletic council, some of the members of which are managers them- selves. Both senior societies, Sphinx Head and Quill and Dagger, whose membership includes some of the most prominent men in the senior class, have gone on record against the pro- posal, and the Cornell Sun, the stu- dents' newspaper, has also attacked it. Several years ago a movement to give the "C" to managers was serious- ly brought to the attention of the un- dergraduate body. After some lively discussion the plan was defeated, or at least nothing came of it. This year a more serious effort has been made, and while those opposed to the move- ment are not willing to concede that the matter may go through the council, they are more concerned about it than they were a few years ago. Wolverines Will Not Play Rutgers Rumors of Thanksgiing Day Contest Between Two Institutions Are Without Grounds Reports to the effect that Michigan and Rutgers college are negotiating for the purpose of arranging a Thanksgiving day football game are without grounds. There will be no such game this year. Whether any such game will ever be scheduled in the future is extremely doubtful. It was stated on good authority that any negotiations which at any time had been conducted by the two insti- tutions have long since been discon- tinued, and that there is no possibility of such a contest next season. The Wolverine schedule is out and all ar- rangements are completed for games and the list itself is entire as it will stand. The present rules governing foot- ball relations do not permit of a Thanksgiving day game. Michigan cannot enter into any contracts call- ing for such a contest on that account, if upon no other consideration. Be- sides this factor against the Rutgers proposition, others are evident which 'would make such an agreement rather improbable. Michigan and Rutgers are in no way natural rivals, either geographically or in sentiment and tradition. The disparity is size of the two institutions is anofher point against a meeting between respective football elevens. All of these reasons were probably considered by the authorities in re- fusing to schedule a game with the eastern college, although only one, the rule against such a contest, would be sufficient ,to bar it from the schedule.
