TRACK PROSPECTS BR GHT
AT MICHIGAN THIS FALL
LOSS OF CRAIG AND HORNES
WILL BE SERIOUSLY FELT.
New Material Likely To Give Wolver-
ines Strong Team.

Ann Arbor, Mich, Dec 4.-Now that
the 1911 football season is over the
attention of the students Of the Uni
vcrsity Of Michigan is turned toward
the track squad, and they hope that
the men of the cinder path viii have
more successful season than che
football team had. And there is every
Indication that the track men will Go
their part to keep the Maize and Blue
W n TO the front this year, as Trainer
Kraenzle!n has lost but two of his
stars of last seasons squad, Craig and
Horner.
1t is true that the tan Detroiter and
the stocky Grand Rapids boy were
worth a half dozen ordinary athletes.
but Trainer Kraenzlein thinks he has
material from which he can fashion
a winning combination, and which
will be good enough to make a splen-
did showing at the Eastern Intercol-
lcgiate games next spring. or last
years squad he has Gamble, Hanavan,
TIaimbaugh. and Han, and with the ad-
dition of Garrels, Jimmy Craig, stew
art, Waring and Kohler, the giant
Lansing boy, he has the nucleus OF a
formidable team.
Jimmy Craig shows every indica-
ton Of possessing the speed which
has made his big brother terror TO
the sprintcrs, Garrels like the immor-
tai Johnny, seems able to do most any
thing required Of him on the track,
and Kohler is a star with both the
shot and the hammer In his high
school days he had no equal in inter-
scholastic sports at throwing the ham
mer and under Trainer Kraenzlein
last year he showed splendid ability
in heaving the shot. That he is a sure
point winner i'm TN eheld events there
can be little doubt. While it requires
a bis man to fill the shoes OF Joe iIor-
rer, Kohler has the ply ana
ought to make good.
Then there are others who have
had some experience i'm track events
before coming to Michigan, and it
would not be at all surprising If some
good material is found i'm men who
have never reported for tryouts.
Trainer Kraenzlein will soon begin to
point his men for the winter events.
and he expects Michigan to have a
successful season.

SPORTING DEPARTMENT
HOCKEY ENTHUSIASTS TO
HOLD MEETING THIS WEEK
WILL DECIDE WHETHER cALU-
MET WILL HAVE TEAM.
Mohawk Has Organized for Season
With a Strong Lineup.

1t is probable that "a meeting Of the
hockey enthusiasts Of Calumet will be
held at the Laurium social club this
week for the purpose of discussing the
situation and ascertaining whether or
not Calumet and Laurium viii be rep
resented on the ice with senior team
this winter. A similar meeting was 10
have been held at the Y. NJ c. a. last
week, but for various reasons the at
tendance was small and no organiza-
tion resulted. Now the proposition will
again be considered.
The Mohawk hockey team has been
roorganized for the season and will be
composed of the following players, the
lineup being almost Identical with
that of last season: Hogan, Cross. Will
liams, Trcglown, VIII and August St.
George, Brewer and Uksilla. Cross viii!
play goal instead of Gray, who was
with the team a part Of last season.
The Mohawk team is very anxious that
la league be organized in the copper
country so that a series of games can
be arranged.
1t is understood that the Portage
Lake towns will be represented by a
strong team this winter and a meet
ing was held at the 500 on Friday
evening which resulted in the organ
ization of a team. This aggregation
proposes that thee old Copper Country
500 league be re-organized and there
is no question, but that first class
hockey will result. These matters will
be considered if the meeting is held
this week and it is possible that some
of the other teams of the copper coun-
try will be represented ana that pre-
steps for the organization of
q league will be taken

THE SEARCH FOR POTASH.
Progress of Work Of United States
Geological Survey.

Progress OF Work OF United States
Geological Survey.
The United States Geological Sur
ivey has just issued a short report by
Hoyt $. Gale, on the progress of the
work of deep drilling for potash which
is being carried on in Carson Sink,
Nevada, near the town of Fallon. While
no discovery Of potash salts is an
nounced by the Survey, Dir. Gales re-
port is a distinct and valuable con
tribution to the discussion of potash
setting forth clearly the broad, basic
reasons which lead the geologists TO
the belief that they will find, sooner
or later. in some one of these desert
basins commercial deposits Of soluble
potash such as constitute the great
StrasSfurt beds i'm Germany.
Last winter Congress appropriated
$4,000 to enable the Geological Sur
vey to prosecute a search for potash,
the money becoming available July 1.
An appropriation of $12,50O was also
made to the Bureau of Soils for a like
purpose, and il was mutually agreed
that the two appropriations should be
administered i'm the spirit Of co-opera-
ton, with an avoidance of duplication
in work and territory.
Five Sources Of Potash.
In a summary of the occurrence OF
potash in the United States, published
by the Survey last Writer, five general
sources were mentioned-O igneous
rocks, GU marls, CD alunite. (4) sal
ines, and (5) organic sources, includ-
ing wood ashes, beet-sugar molasses
and residue. wool scourings, and sea-
weed or kelp. The Geological Survey
has confined its activities TO work on
mineral saline deposits and is devot
ing large part of its appropriation 20
the project of drilling for possible de-
posts of buried salts.
Wyomngs Possibilities.
The first field work under the new
was done In southern
wyoming, in the geologic formations
termed the Red Beds" which are
known to be rich in salines, suggesting
for many reasons the possibility of
carrying deposits of the Stassfurt type.
A considerable amount Of study had
already been devoted to this area and
accordingly the data relating to the
wyoming salines were collected and
reviewed and this work was followed
by field examinations. These investi-
cations indicated that the assumption
Of the existence of beds of potash salts
In the Laramie Basin In southern wy
oming is logical, but the data at hand,

ALLOW NO GAMES
WITH MICHIGAN
RESOLUTIONS PROVIDING FOR
SUMMER BASEBALL ARE Ia
BLED BY "elG EIGHT"
UNIVERSITIES.

Chicago Dec. 4.-Out- conference
games were prohibited, a rule was Gre
ated whereby two weeks protest or no.
tice against an athlete must be given,
and resolutions providing for summer
baseball were tabled at Saturdays
meeting of the western conference of
universities, known as the Big Eight
| in football
Among other things decided by the
conference were these;
No conference team may engage in
athletics with universities which have
Withdrawn from the conference. This
rule is apparently aimed directly at
Michigan.
a protest against players Of an op-
Iposing team must be made at least
two weeks before the event i'm which
| that athlete is asked TO be barred
from. (This would prevent repcti-
tion of the so-called eleventh hour
protest such as made 10y Wisconsin
against Pickering of Minnesota this
year)
The tabled resolution i'm effect sought
to amend the White rule of year
ago, and would have established a pol
icy ON the part OF universities of re-
stricting their control of amateur ath-
letes to schools by allowing athletes
TO engage in summer baseball or
other games, even for pay.
In addition the representatives at
the conference set their approval upon
inter sectional contests, by adopting a
resolution repeating rules OF a year
ago, whereby interscctional contests
were prohibited. However. If one ia
Guilty refuses to accept this resolution
the question will be sent back to the
conference committee and two
thirds vote will be necessary to make
the ruling effective.

departments Of the institutions rep
resented viii not be barred from par
ticipating i'm intercollegiate games
providing they continue their studies
in the law or medical or other pro-
fessional departments Of the institu-
tion which granted them the first de-
gree. This Amendment to Rule Of
tho conference eligibility provisions
were adopted with but little debate.
IL was decided 10 hold the second
annual conference indoor track meet
and swimming meet at Patton gym

 York in 1886, when he boiled more votes than Theodore Roosevelt, the Republican candidate. Since then the movement he originated has spread all over the world. There are signs of it even in China and Japan. The reform it proposes is in prac- tical operation in New Zealand and in most of the principal cities of Aus tralia. &s
 Germany has tried it successfully in her colony at Kiaouchou (China-) Tn varying degrees some 3,300 of her cities at home have experimented d with it, and so successfully that the German empire has introduced it for purposes of national revenue.
