Ann Arbor, Mich, Feb. 5-Just at present
there is nothing doing In athletics at Michigan
except impromptu arguments on the 1ootoail sit-
uation viewed from an angle on what the
faculty representatives did and what they don't
know about what they did do or didn't do.
The university senate will probably meet TO-
faculty conference, and it be set down as
an assured fact that Coach Yost will be re
tanned and that Michigan will play football
next fall.
There was intention to kill football-only
to bring it on plane with other branches of
college athletics said President Angel.
1.-The University of Michigan will never abro-
gate contract and I don't think nine men
can meet in Chicago and tell us what we must
do and what we can't do" declares Regent Dean:
These remarks reflect the sentiments on all
sides, except from few professors. I'm
doubtedly Michigan will accept any playing rules
that the committee that meets in New York next
week will adopt. Michigan Is willing to play
any team on equal footing as regards playing
rules, and anything that Is agreeable to the
leading teams will be welcomed here.
Jack Mclean, the old Michigan halfback
of 1899, is in the city. He has been coaching
the University of Missouri.
T. ..What do you think Of the rules proposed by
| az don't think they will revolutionize> the
game much'' he replied. '.Ihey have not
| changed the defensive style of play and to alter
the game that department must be changed as
new rules, proposed, will put premium on
heavy quarterbacks. Heretofore every team had
| a light quarterback, out you Will see ncdVy mel
| take that position now. It's funny, but the pub
! lie agitation has been aroused by the fact that
beefy men mostly required for good team
Now the rules committee is going to reform the
game so that the only really lightweight mar
| will be pushed aside for heavier man.
| The students in the midst of examinations
and there is but little work being done in the
! gymnasium by the track men. Fitzpatrick Is
| very anxious that every candidate for the team
| 80 thru the semester without condition il
| study in order that there may be no disqualified
| lions, and. he has shouted. 'Be sure and keep w
! in your studies much that it Is firmly i'm
pressed on all their minds.
| In the first try-out Of the season in the tract
work Coach Fitzpatrick gave the quartz -miler
a two-lap run. The track record Is OPS 3-5 fo
! the distance. Goodwin did it in O:29 % ant
Sickle in O:30. Captain Ramey the quar-
| ter sone-1fth of a second faster than he dit
on the same occasion last year, negotiating it ii
O:55 3-5. Mckinney and Waldeck secon,
and third, with O:56 2-5 and O:56 80 respec
lively. @.
OF the bunch Of milers only four could do bet
ter than 220, altho the track record Is 300 fiat
Rowe ran it in Pill 2-5. which is two and three
ffths seconds better than the first try-out las
Iyear. Cathcart, Phelps, West and Benedict fol
