for AZ meal time Yost was accustomed TO
80 over the plays Of the day with the
men. This, IN addition TO the men having
to condition themselves on boarding house
fare, which any one who has attended coll
lege knows II a little light for hard foot
ball work. Pennsylvania will have train
ing table In operation from the start. The
conference rules confne Michigan TO i've
hard games, but three OF these are TO be
played ahead Of the Pennsylvania game.
Pennsylvania will play nine games before

Pennsylvania game. with but three vet
Grams In the lineup, field leader 10 supply,
with scant opportunity TO recruit from any
thing but a mediocre scrub team, and with
no real games in which to whip the men
into shape. a hard problem is before Yost,
and the rooters think II II one which he
cannot fulfil It Is thought that after the
game has been fought and lost the Miohi-
gan supporters will rise en- masse against
the arbitrary rulings of the conference
and a crusade will be started which will
take the vests greatest university out
from the athletic control OF the smaller
schools which now compose the Big Nine.
The management is being criticised for
scheduling the game with Pennsylvania,
which is sure to result in disaster to the
wolverines.
The regular season is about over for the
outdoor clubs and the club houses will
soon be closed for the winter. A rumor
was out that the Field club intended to
continue the semi-weekly dances wednes-
day and Saturday nights, all winter. This
proved to be without foundation, for the
dancing pavilion is practically an outdoor
floor with nothing but canvas enclosure
and to board this up and heat 1t for dances
would entail an expense the directors are
not willing to assume at this time. A
meeting Of the club is called for Tuesday
night, at which time some different plan
for financing the club will be considered.
! The club assumed considerable of a debt
two years ago, when large sum of money
was spent In rebuilding the club house
and another considerable sum was re-
| quired by the golf committee to- Ak the
new forty-acre tract for a golf course.
The club members assumed this debt by
subscribing for stock, and some new
scheme will be worked out at the meet
| ing Tuesday night The club is in fine
condition, with a large waiting list, the
membership being limited to 500 and hum
dreds are now anxious to join. with the
completion Of the new course the club
will have as fine a golf course as any in
the country. The greens have been a
| trihe rough this fall because of their new
ness, but they will be in fine shape next
summer The holes on the new forty are
generally surrounded by trees, which make
the course very pretty. Several cups have
been played for during the season and
the finals are now being played on be-
tween the monthly winners. Special prizes
| have also been donated by merchants
which will be played for at times between
now and snowfall The season at the
Field club has been splendid. Many sue
cessful tournaments have been held and
the club has made added advancement 70
It's reputation as an entertainer.

The club house of the Omaha Rod and
| Gun club still continues to be a popular
place and by another summer membership
| in this club will be at a premium. Since
the organization OF the club the poachers
and seiners have had a hard row to hoe
and have practically been put out OF
business. The club is partly responsible
for the presence of Deputy Game and
| Fish Warden Pierson at the lake, and he
has proven himself a terror to all engaged
| in Illicit work. So many seines have beer
| confiscated and so many sent over the
road that they have come to consider 1t q
dangerous business. Since these have beer
stopped from SEEMING out the larger fish
they have been permitted to grow until
at present Cut OF can boast as fine fish
ing as almost any lake in the country
And the fishing will continue to grow
better and the thousands of fish which
were planted one and two years ago are
permitted to grow.
