MICHIGAN OUT OF THE FOLD.
Election of Schulz Blocks Their Re
turn to Conference Group.

Ann Arbor. Mich, Nov 28.-The re-
turn to college next year of Germany,
Schulz, the wolverine center, was
clinched when his teammates on the
varsity football eleven elected him cap
tain of the 1908 team. There was no
opposition to his candidacy. The big
fellow was immensely tickled with the
honor and said when the poll closed:
You can count on me to be right here

The election of Schulz to captain the
wolverine, gridiron team next season
does not give promise of the return of
the Ann Arbor school to western fields

three years of competition in intercoi-

completed three years. Next year would
be his fourth, and. If Michigan expects

THE ODDS FAVOR CORNELL.
Followers of the Football Game Arc
Betting Against Pennsy

New York, Nov. 2S.-Whether Cornell
can take the measure of Pennsylvania
is the sole topic of conversation In foot
ball CT. cles here. The teams clash to-
day and on the strength of the fact
that the Ithacans beat Princeton, which
turned around and soundly drubbed the
team which beat Pennsylvania, the
Carlisle Indians, nearly everybody is
leaning toward the New York eleven to
win TIE closing engagement of the col
lC giate season in the east.
Corn : has been strengthened and
keyed UP to the best form 1t has shown
this year. Although 1t has played err
ratically, the coaches believe 1t is an
even stronger aggregation now than
that which faced the Tigers several
weeks ago and conquered.
Pennsylvania, however, has been
slowly gathering power and will un-
doubtedly have strong aggregation In
the field. Despite its failure to beat
Michigan by a big score, great things
are expected of it today.
The sojourn In the Jersey pines, at
Winslow, has always put the Penn
team on edge every season, and the
Red and Blue has never been defeated
after a session at Winslow The Cor
nell followers are backing the big
Red Team heavily, and are still Of
fering odds of to on their team,
although the abundance Of Penn money
will send the betting to even before
the game begins. The Penn coaches
and players will put up the $500 they
raised to. bet on the Michigan game,
but which the wolverines failed to
cover.

which the public, which appreciates the
record of the season together with the
members of the team and the students
of the college, has but little knowledge.
The preliminary details to the season
date back some times a year or more,
when seemingly endless negotiations
with other schools must be engaged in
and countless wires must be pulled be-
fore schedule can be adopted Then
there comes the opening of the season.
The grounds must be fixed up. The
players must be jollied up; this and
many more details must be accomplish
ed before the practice season COM
mences. Then there are the games to
be played. Tickets must be sold to in
sure financial backing; the games must
be advertised both in the press and by
window posters; the railroads must be
interested to such an extent that they
will work up out of town crowds. All
these details and many more unknown
to the writer must be looked after be-
fore the referees whistle marks the be-
ginning of the football season. Every
thing must be performed that the team
will have financial backing adequate to
a successful maintenance of the season
All this devolves upon the manager.
His job is a thankless one. He is
blamed by everyone for whatever hitch
there may be. If anything goes wrong
the manager gets "cussed." He does
not have a side line job where he can
get out and perform before the crowds
of football enthusiasts. He sits in the
ticket window and sells tickets or per-
forms similar tasks, equally as obnox-
ious. If things go all right he is blame
less otherwise he is the college scape-
goat.
This season the duties of manager
have been entrusted to Walter w
Stahl and the success of the team is in
a large measure the result of his tire
less work on the teams behalf This is
stairs third season as manager. Three
years ago he took the reins as manager
with debt somewhere in the neigh
borhood Of $500 hanging over the ath-
letfc association and the confidence of
the local merchants who play an i'm
portant part in Washburn affairs utter
~ lost Today the expenses of the pres
ent season are more than me- and thera
is a snug little balance in the treasury
on the present season. Toda VS. game
will be clear profit. The debt of three
years standing bids fair to be totally
wiped out or at least left in such shape
that 1t viii not be a bugbear as has
been the case in former years He

despite the opposition of the Oklahoma
