MALE TEACHERS To
FORM ORGANIZATION
Committee Was Named That
Will Report on Third
Saturday in February.
BANQUET SATURDAY NIGHT.
THERE WERE THIRTY-TWo EDU-
GATORS PRESENT OUT OF A
POSSIBLE MEMBERSHIP IN THE
COUNTY OF SIXTY.

Male teachers of Wayne county,
who have desire to perfect an Or
ganization for the promotion of their
social as well as educational interests
to be known as a school masters
club, very pleasantly banqueted at
the Westcott hotel Saturday night
Thirty-two Wayne county pedagogues
were in attendance. There are sixty
male teachers in the county eligible
for membership. 1t was decided to
perfect no permanent organization
until the third Saturday in February,
1908, on which occasion teachers will
again be assembled in Richmond, at
tending the county teachers insti-
tute.
The banquet Saturday night was a
profitable one, as two very excellent
addresses were made, one by John w.
Cook of DeKalb, ILL.,, who addressed
the Wayne county teachers associa-
ton and the other by Prof. o. P. Kin
sey of Valparaiso, Ind. vice president
of the Valparaiso Normal University
of school masters clubs and the work
that is being performed by them In
various sections of the country. 1t is
| the intention of the male teachers OF
the county who enter the organization
to make it one of social nature, and
generally other matters pertaining to
the school to a large extent will be
discarded. Other clubs, the speakers
asserted considered vexatious school,
problems.
A committee composed of G.. K
Chase, T. A. Mott, Chas. Jordan, E. E
Oldaker, J. w. Outland and J. F
Thompson was appointed to perfect
plans of organization and the commit
tee through its chairman C. K Chase

Indianapolis, Oct. 19.-In a game that
was stubbornly contested in both
halves, Michigan defeated Wabash at
Washington Park this afternoon by a
score of % to 0. The work of the
Michigan team was not up to the
standard of former years and though
It's members are large and somewhat
fast, most of their tricks were sim
pie and Wabash had no difficulty in
solving them and in end checkmating
them. Wabash was outweighed TWEEN
ty pounds to the man, but in the face
of this handicap put up one of the
bravest struggles that Michigan has
had to cope with in many day. Quar-
ter-back Hargrave did not confine
himself to the defensive at all times
but varied the style of play and Sohl's
punts took all Michigan's wind. Sprow
at center played big Shultz of the
Michigan team to standstill. A FUN
BILE by Sohl on Wabash's thirty-yard
line where he received punt near the
end Of the first half alone enabled
Michigan to score, when Yost's ma
chine took brace and finally sent
Hammond over the line Allerdice
kicked goal. Two minutes later the
whistle blew and the half ended with
the score to 0. Michigan was lucky
to run up the score in the second half
McGoffin broke through Wabash's
line and with good Interference ran
thirty yards for touchdown, and AL
lerdice kicked goal. Michigan worked
the ball to the two-yard line and Nc
Goggin failed to make distance, being
downed on the one yard line Har-
graves punt was blocked and fallen
on by Loci and this scored another
