POOREST TREATMENT IN
YEARS At ANN ARBOR, 4"
SAY PENNSY STUDENTS
As Guests of Michigan They Re
ceived Shabby Welcome and
Shabbier Farewell.
ONLY ONE PENN CHEER.
Are Sore Too, Because OF the
Accusations of the Michigan
Daily Against Them.
ONLY ONE PENN CHEER.

PHILADELPHIA, Nov. "a. - The
undergraduate student body at Penn
sylvania Is indignant over an article
in the Michigan Daily denouncing the,
playing OF the Pennsylvania team
against Michigan as unsportsmanlike
and OF a rough nature.
The students feel that great in
justice has been done their team, and
IL is likely that an apology will be
asked fer through the Pennsylvania.
the official organ of the university.
Although the hundred or more OF
the Penn students who went out to
Ann Arbor were very reticent in
speaking OF the welcome afforded
them In the land OF the Wolverines,
IL developed yesterday that the Mich.
gan undergraduate body did not well
come the Quaker rooters with the hos
pitality which Is usually afforded the
rooters OF visiting team
During the entire stay OF the Penn
students, but one cheer was offered
Pennsylvania by Michigan. and that
was when the red and blue eleven
trotted on the gridiron prior to the
game, according TO the Pennsy story
On every occasion, the Michigan
students went out of their way to
cast slurring remarks at the Quaker
students, and several times. when the
students OF the two institutions met
on the street. the Michigan under.
graduates tried TO pull the red and
blue arm bands of the Penn students
and two or three free-forall fights
ensued.
Then again on the departure OF the
pennsylvania special a crowd of Michy
igan students assembled at the sta.
ton TO see them OF. As the team
was about ready to depart, the Penn
students gave rousing cheer for
Michigan. Not sound was heard In
the way OF a response, nor was
hand clapped in appreciation OF tho
honor Penn had paid its rivals.
Instead, the Michigan students made
a dash for the observation platform
and attempted to pull down the red
and blue bunting which draped the
rear car in order to snatch something
to take back to their rooms as a
souvenir This was too much for the
Penn students, and they repealed the
attack with window poles. mega
phones and anything they could lay
their hands on and which could be
hurled from the car windows.
A prominent member of the senior
class at Penn, who made the trip TO
Michigan was heard to say yesterday.
In speaking of the matter:
why. never heard OF anything 30
ridiculous in all my life. They say
Penn men are unsportsmanlike. Well,
have been at Penn now nearly four
years. but have never seen visiting
team so poorly received as We were
at Ann Arbor on Saturday"

READY FOR NEXT YEAR.

An effort is being made to push
along paving contracts and other
municipal improvements so work can
commence early next season. In the
residence districts the conditions OF
the streets are positively disgraceful.
The old cedar block paving has rotted
and worn out and the streets are inn
measureably worse than IL shcy had
never been paved 1T all.
There is considerable opposition on
the part of the property owners to ex-
tending the paving limits. also to re-
paving in some parts Of the city where
the work had formerly been done.
There is also agitation as to the ma
terials to be used--on streets where all
are agreed that paving must be done.
Out OF all the discussion some good
may come. There Is one encouraging
certainty--no one wants any more
cedar blocks. That system was out of
date when first put III here-but the
majority of the people wanted it. Even
when Broadway and Eighth street. were
repaved few years ago there were so
many taxpayers favorable to that
proposition that the worthless and un-
sanitary material was again adopted

Fargo's tests have demonstrated that

and other materials are suggested by |

The city administration Is planning
to thresh these matters all out in adj

year.
There is one phase of the paving |

costs more than half as much as paw
