TO VOTE ON BIG
nine QUESTION
Michigan Students, Alumni
and Faculty to Consider
Return Problem.

Ann .Arbor, Mich. Oct. 29.-Michi-
gan students. alumni and faculty, will
be given an opportunity to register
their opinions on the Michigan inter-
collegiate conference question as a re-
suit OF a campaign inaugurated by the
Michigan Daily. the student publica-
ton OF the university.
The vote will be taken on November
3. 4 and S and will be conducted UNI
der u board consisting Of one pro-con-
ference. one anti-conferen3e and one
neutral member. The result Of the
vote. which is to be by signed ballots,
will be placed before the Michigan
board OF regents at its meeting on
November IA in this city. According
to the action Of the athletic board of
control at its session October IL the
entire question Of Michigan's attitude
toward the conference has been put in
the hands of the regents. and for this
reason the results OF the vote will go
to that body.
1t is believed that, should the Stu
dents. alumni and faculty. register a
sentiment in favor OF a return. to the
conference, the regents will immedi-
ately take action looking toward an
official communication to the confer
ence governing board. Should the
vote show a sentiment adverse to
those close to the situation. will he
closed for years to come and Michi-
gan's activities will be conferred in
competition with eastern schools.
The recent adverse action of the
boards Of regents Of several of the
conference members is not looked up
on askance by those who favor an I'M
mediate opening up of negotiations
with the western schools. According

TREMENDOUS MILEAGE Of NORTHERN
LEAGUE IS MAIN STUMBLING BLOCK
Each Team Will be Required to Cover Over 5000 Miles
to Make -Four Swings About 1000 Mile Circuits
5000 Greater Than in 1913 Season.

Just where a class ID baseball league

ut is the question that is bothering
several club owners in the Northern
league circuit that has been pro.
posed--in fact, COMPLICATION the
1914 season.
When the league meeting Is held
in Grand Forks November II for the
purpose of drafting a schedule that
question doubtless will confront the
club owners as Il more important fac
tor than it now appears. r

May z is the date on which the
club owners have agreed to open the
1914 season. u four-month schedule
ending September Z being the plan.
This schedule begins two weeks later
the schedule of 1913. and 1t con-
tinues a week longer. The schedule
committee. composed of Cantillon of
Minneapolis, Clark of Winona and
Decheveral of Superior. will submit
a draft of he proposed schedule at
the Grand Forks meeting. and each
individual member of the board also
will submit proposed scheduled. The
probabilities are that about a dozen
more schedules will be submitted
for consideration.
-Four Swings Around Circuit,
With o swings around the cir
cult for each club during the season.
the least possible mileage. it ia assert
ed, is about 5000 for twelve men.
However in making up the schedule
the total for each club is certain to
be greater than the absolute mini
mum for four tours about the entire
circuit. An average of close to 5000
miles, the we'll informed members of
the league declare, Is the least mile
age that can be considered.
In the 1913 season the total mileage
for all clubs was 44.645, or an aver
age of about $3.50 miles. The lowest
mileage of any club was $500. while
the greatest was slightly over 1000.

Coming out of Winona the teams
must double back over the same
route to Fargo as the next closest
city. and the jump there is about 1913
miles. In other words. each trip to
Winona means about 500 extra mile

MICHIGAN AGGIES
GROW

Lansing. Mich, Oct. :e.-Because
OF successive victories over Michigan
m Wisconsin. students of the Michi-
gan agricultural college are talking Of
applying for admission to the West
ern conference.
The East Lansing college for sever
el years has been developing i in every
thing but football. 1t now has be-
come large enough to furnish it's
coaches with a football squad SUM-
GENTLY large to enable the picking of
a winning team from among the can
didates.
Therefore both students and facul-
t think that the college. which is
far from being only an agricultural
college. teaching almost as many sub
5ects as does the University Of Michl-
gan. is fully qualified to be classed
with the big western universities.
There is a movement on foot to have
the name changed to Michigan state
university or Michigan state college.

A. ]. Kavanaugh Becomes
Managing Director of Ball
Club-Plans Discussed.

At the meeting of the directors of
the Grand Forks baseball club held
in the Commercial club rooms last
night. A. ]. Kavanaugh, manager of
the Grand theater. was elected man
aging director to succeed NJ. Stanch-
field, who resigned.
Plans for next years work were
discussed. but nothing definite was
decided on. 1t was agreed. however,
to make a thorough canvass of the
city during the next few days to de-
termine the attitude of the business
men and fans in league baseball for
Grand Forks.
MIR. kavanaugh suggested the en-
tertainment feature for raising part Of
the money needed to run the team,
but this was left for further consid-
Grafton.
Another meeting Of the local fans
will be held in a short time, when
the proposition will be taken up
again. The report Of the city canvass
probably will be presented at that
time. and this will give the directors
something definite to work on.

Misunderstood WinOna. L.
During the early part Of the for
nation period, when the makeup Of
he 1914 league was being considered.
Winona was reported to have made
an offer of additional home date guar
antees, proposing 500 a day as
against guarantees of SIS in the other
cities.
However. at the meeting which was
held in Minneapolis last Sunday, 1t
developed that other league directors
were mistaken as to the Intentions
of the Winona club. as they declare
their only proposition was to agree
to a general increase in guarantee it
that was the wish of the league. and

Taking Second Look at Figures.
Grand Forks club owners are not
immensely enthusiastic over the out
look for the coming season since they
have gotten a squint at the mileage
figures. and 1t is understood thai one
or WI other club hackers are in
about the same mood.
Opponents Of the big mileage
scheme have contended for a six-club
circuit, including Duluth. Superior
and Virginia on the east. and Winni-
peg. Grand Forks and Fargo on the
west. To tour this circuit would en-
tail a mileage of about 925 miles, or
less than half Of the mileage en-
tailed in the present eight-club cir
cult.

The story which Rube schauer. for

IN Superior yesterday, to the effect
that Christy Mathewson would quit
the Giants next year and become a
manager, appears to be off color.

AS Miller Higgins has already signed
to manage the Cardinals and Branch

President Hedges Of the Browns. it is
