Michigan, who last year marched bold-
k ly out of tho Big-Nine ranks, Is ex--.
'. pecked, to crawl back Into 4ie fold
again and in case she does "will play.
-J-Wil.J2rm.pjrQ ..games with tho pther
Conference schools next year. The
Big NJno)ropres"entatIves will schedule
no outslcta games until the Wolverines
, take final action on re-entering tho
Conference, for they nro "all anxlohs to
mejt Yost's glanta on tho gridiron
again and do not want to hurt their
chances of getting a game with Michi
gan by taking on other teams and fill
ing their dates. Michigan's real in
tentions will not bo rarido known until
tho next mooting of tho Conference
' schools'ln Chicago, January 4.
ManagoK Eager was 'assured by tho
BIg"Ninb "representatives, however,
- thatno matter what Michigan does,
i (Nebraska, can' flguro on one or Iwo
gamoa -with Conforonco schools next
fall. All of thorn are willing & give
us a game provided wo play under
their rules If Michigan does not join
tho -Conference. Should Michigan re-
turn to tho fold then those teams that
are not lucky enough to schedule a
gamo with her will be ready to "take
.'"on" tho Cornhuskora. For definite ar-
rangemenfc about, her Big Nine games,
.however,' Nebraska must wait" until

from Ann Arbor and published In the
Toledo (Ohio) News-Bee shows that
tho Yost men' are thinking about a

In spotless linen, his .facd'-a foast of
luscious smiles for tho ladlos. Hardly
before wo, can approclato tho first
chorus, Guy Montgomery rushes on
the Bcone aB Mr. Bones. To say this
Is a brilliant performance is much, but
then what would thero bo left to say
about tho rest. For oxamplo, tho solo
by Hoffman, "Don't Argufy," with
quartet accompaniment. Also tho old
story,' 'All In, down and out," Totold,

Ono of tho loading attractions at ho

in which a chorus of twonty-flyo chil

"Now I notice in my own child,"
said Mr. Mortimer Wilson whon in
torvTbwed on tho subject of tho songs
for tho babies, "that whon a closed
second Is not 'immediately resolvod
Into a consonance, there' is (rouble.
In tho interests of harmony I would
recommend that you correct suoh ab
normal instances as vary from tho
course dictated in my excellent work
on the rhetoric of music. There are
two other teachers from whpm you can
obtain tho same rational lino of work,
but I recommend my own as the moat

eleventh must, bo Introduced for (he

you, after looking oyer tho gongs, to
