MICHIGAN BOLTS "BIG NINE"

ANN ARBoR, Mich. Jan 1.-THE board
of control OF athletics of the University OF
Michigan at a protraeted meeting last night
decided to withdraw Immediately from the
western intercollegiate conference, the big
Nine" organization, with which Michigan
has been affiliated for years. Michigan, how
ever, did not adhere strictly to all the re-
strictions adopted by the conference at the
time when the three-year rule was put in
effect and training tables were abolished.
The Ann Arbor eleven for two seasons past
has arranged its principal game with Penn
sylvania in place of the long-accustomed
annual game with the University OF Chi
cago. Although the Maize and Blue kept
within the conference restrictions as far
as her games with conference colleges were
concerned, there were repeated rumors Of
Mlchigan's withdrawal or expulsion from
the conference.

Tommy Burns says the picking on the

! Fighters Corner

with Tommy Murphy feigning injury or
actually disabled, Bert Reyes, a Philadel-
phla boy, was picked to take the Harlem
fighters place in Boston tonight for tine
twelve-round bout with Packey McFar-
land. the much-boomed Chicago fighter,
who has his Eastern coming-out.
There was wild scrambling on the part
of the Boston promoters to get a suosti-
tute for Murphy, aud, after Young Lough-
rev, of Manayunk,' land several Others were
found unavailable, the managers offered
Keyes a $500 guarantee, which was
promptly accepted.
Reyes said he will be in fairly good
shape for the bout, in spite of the short
notice, as he is always doing road work
at his training place at Stamford, waiting
for anything thabmay turn up.
Reyes has shown his class recently by
defeating Johnny Sommers in a ten-round
bout in New Haven. also getting the better
of Tommy Murphy in Brooklyn.
Nevertheless, Mcfarland will enter the
ring an overwhelming fayorite, as edu-
Gated bettors figure that Keyes will be un-
duly cautious in view of his limited con-
dition of preparedness.

boxer. who recently fought Abe Attell a

The sentiment of the students and of a
majority of the alumni as presented before
the board last night was strongly against
affiilation with the conference, 1t being
pointed out that some of the colleges in the
conference had no athletic contests with
Michigan. while one Of them Northwest
ern) now had no football team at all. The
long-impendlng rupture with the confer
euce leaves Michigan free to look to the
Eastern colleges for games and permits the
retention of Schultz as captain Of the
eleven. Under conference rules Schultz
would have had to retire at the close OF
last season, his third year in football.
Professor Peterson, chairman and
spokesman of the board. said last night that
a statement OF the action OF the board
would be sen to all the conference col
leges before any interview would be given
out here. Professor Peterson even de-
clined to state how the vote stood when
the question was settled last night.

ST. MICHAELS

GAMES
Seniors Defeat CastIetOns
and Juniors Win From
Sacred Hearts.

The ST. Michaels scored a double vic
tory in the basketball games at Harmonic
Hall last night. The seniors defeated the
Castletons, Of Staten Island. 50 to Il, in a
one-sided contest, and the juniors won
from the Sacred Hearts of Bloomfield, So
to 80. The visitors we're hopeless before
the strong and aggressive attacks Of the
home players in the senior game, and
the home players defense was more
than they could go up against. The
score at the end of the first half was
fairly close; the Saints" did not extend
themselves in this period, because they
wanted to size up their opponents. The
Saints" however. secured a comfortable
lead of eleven points. The Saints" got
90 to the visitors 8. In the second half
the attack on the baskets occurred. The
home PLAYERS apparently could not miss
any shots. In all they totaled up SO points
and could have had more If they had
desired to run UP a larger score. The Wis
itors could only get five points. The home
teams guards worked in grand shape,
their blocking being a feature Of the game.

Bryan and Hearst.

Mr. Bryan, as the consummate poll
tieian, more and more commands admir-
alton as, day by day, the excellence of
his reasoning in this political game ap-
pears.
1t is now pointed out that the indie
Pendence party's platform at Chicago is
likely to be very much that adopted by
the Democrats at Denver. Moreover.
Mr.. Hearst has made it very clear that
he will not accept a nomination for
President.
Thus it appears that in the matter
of platform there will be little to
choose between the two radical parties.
Mr.. Hearst has a great following of
labor forces; nobody doubts that. But
1t is very largely a personal following,
which Mr.. Hearst will hardly be able to
deliver to a comparative unknown run
ming on the independence ticket.
The Bryan platform, apparently, will
he about as satisfactory to this element
as viii the Hearst platform. The
magic of Hearst's name would hold a
good many thousands Of votes; but
without that magic, and without the
magnetism of a more satisfactory plat
form, it Is not plain how the independ-
ence party can expect to draw a ire
mendous vote away from Bryan.
The socialist party is the natural
refuge of those extremists who, with
no concern whatever for landing with
the winners, insist on voting for the
most radical proposition in sight, and
contenting themselves with the feeling
that they have given up all else fol
principle. The masses who have made
up the following of the independence
party in its former campaigns have not
been of this sort. They have been en-.
thusiastic for the chance of success
among other things. This year they
can hardly take seriously the notion
that they have a chance TO win. Most
of them must look at the two plat.
forms, Democratic and independence:
then they must calculate whether they
want to have a chance to win, or ar,
willing to cast their vote in such fashion
as to leave the way open for the NOR,
conservative Republican program to b
Endorsed by the country. 1t seem.
probable that, with no magnetic leader
ship, and little to choose in platforms
the independence party viii not, draw
heavily from the Democrats.

Peace-After the ManeuverS.

A peace congress Is assembling in
London. There will be delegates, of
course, from both Great Britain and
Germany. america, which will be rep
resented likewise, will hope and strive
that all her neighbors may dwell to-
gether in peace and harmony. But be-
hind the scenes there will throb and
pulse somewhat over three hundred en-
gines which threaten to cake the mind
temporarily off the object of the confer
ence.
They are the engines of the two fleets
with which England has lately been
conducting ''maneuvers" in the North
Sea. At the Downs about $50 ships of
war stood on the defense At Esbjerb-
which is Jutland port only three miles
from the German-Danish frontier-an
ec'll number made ready for the at
tack. The similitude was striking.
England was acting out a naval war
with Germany.
Did the Germans see it1 You may be
sure they did. Says the Hamburger
Nachrichten: an any case, the circum-
stance that the maneuvers of this vast
British fleet take place exactly north
of the German coast plainly indicates
that they are intended to aid in the
solution of such problems of strategy as
would be presented in the
event of war with Germany" The
Germania, of Berlin, thinks it "imPos-
sible not to associate the visit of an i'm
posing British fleet TO Esbjers
with the landing of a much larger de-
tachmelt in the case of actual war"
While the Liberte, of Paris, observing
that Britain is free from threat in the
Mediterranean, concludes she would
now make herself undeniaby predomi-
nant in the North Sea.
We shall hear much of the maneuvers
when the reports are published. We
shall all be interested to know what
ever the admiralty is willing we shall
know. But the sham conflict between
the two greatest nations of Europe Is
not exactly curtain-raiser for a peace
confab.

MOtiOnleSS in the Air.

Henri Farman, the European aero
naut, made n modest assertion on his
arrival in this country that has at
tracted but little attention. Yet it
Gems TO have been among the most i'm
portant things ever spoken on the sub
ject of aerial transportation. It was
simply that on several occasions he had
kept his machine motionless in the air
for a number of seconds at a time. Alr.
Farman further prophesied that the
time would come when dirigible aero
planes could be kept alott and with
out movement for long periods.

pert and painstaking of experimenters
in aerial navigation, such a statement
as the result Of his own observation

little, and you will be given a clearer
insight into the progress made b navi-
gators of the beavier-than-air machine
than by any other single observation
