QUESTIONMichigan Daily Quotes Interviewsfrom Yost. Allerdice. Wasmundand Other Football Men.With the drawing up of next year'sschedules now the biggest question inwestern football circles Michigan alsohas taken up the question of resum­ing it-. place in the Conference. Thata resumption of relations with Chi­cago is now more probable than ithas ever been since the rupture in1905 is the opinion of Michigan aswell as Chicago students.At the recent banquet of the Mich­igan union, A. J. Abbott, one of themost prominent of the alumni, madean address in which he made a pleafor the resumption of athletic rela­tions with the-west.Abbott advocated as the other un­dergraduate ideal the resumption ofathletic relations with the westernuniver-sities. He pointed out that thedifferences which caused Michigan'swithdrawal from the Conference aredisappearing. H'e suggested the pos­sibility of a reorganization that willenable Michigan to take her naturalplace as athletic leader of the west."This," he said, "would enableMichigan to deserve the distinction ofchampions of the west intellectuallyas well as athletically not only dur--�\!t.���e:"Students Qive Opinions. -The Michigan Daily has also takenup the question in its news columns,although it has not mentioned it edit­orially. Interviews from variousmembers of the Maize and Blue foot­ball team !l.S printed in the MichiganDaily indicate that the general spiritof the men is in' favor of joining theConference. Coach "Hurry-Up" Yost,however, is reported as being opposedto it, although he would like to sched­ule games with western teams.DR.

BASKETBALL TEAM INPRACTICE YESTERDAYScrUs Start s... ., 8eatiq Rep-1an---CIark, Ide, ad Falk-e ..... c... Oat.LOOIFOR AGGREGATION OF STARSHoffman. Page, Hobbie. Clark, Kelley,Fulkerson, Sauer and Others inFight for ,laces.The 1909 basketball season yester­day sought to get itself into tune withthe football season ,by starting outwith a real gloomy bear story. If theseason keeps up as itbegan yesterdayDirector Stagg will have to look to hislaurels as the original propagator ofheart-breaking tales of woe from theathletic field. .'The scrubs upset basketball dopewhen they whipped ateam of Varsitystars in one of the early practicegames of the season'. Paine, Mehl,Belle, Frank and Martin composedthe five that carried off the big endof the score. Clark and Kelley, regu­lars, and Fulkerson, substitute on lastyear's team, and Edwards and Swan­son of the 1909 Freshman team werethe men that went 00' defeat.Immediatly after the game JohnSchommer, who has charge of theVarsity basketball squad this year,held a council of war with Dr. Ray­croft. They concluded not to startpractice until the beginning of nextquarter. In the meantime, however,they will give the players all the in­dividual practice possible, "We want. .to, 2iv,t..iW:...£ootba.ll...iD£n .aILthe. .time ,that we can in which to rest up.Hoffman, Page and Sauer are menthat we are counting 'On, and they arenot now in shape, to start hard train­ing," said Dr. Raycroft.Championship Hope for Chicago.The amount of basketball materialthis year is greater than in previousyears and the caliber of it indicatesthat Chicago should have a successfulseason. "Art" Hoffman, captain ofthe team, and "Pat" Page are the bestguards in the country. Hubble seemsto have center's position cinched. Hewas a substitute last year and wasforced out of first position by the factthat Chicago had a man hard to equalin Schommer. Sauer was center oflast year's Freshman team, but doesnot stand much show against Hubble,and will probably be given a chanceat forward. Joy Clark is the logicalchoice for one forward, although hehas classy opposition. Kelley is mak­ing a strong pull for the other posi­tion. Swanson and Goldstein are giv­ing him a run for his money. Ed­wards, Boyle and Fulkerson are goodmen at guard. "Zuke" Kassulker isalso coming out for the squad.Schommer as coach is making astrong showing., He will institute anumber of changes this year. One petplan that he will try is to match thestrongest forwards against Page andHoffman. This will give both posi­tions individual practice. He willcontinue to do this nrrtil the team ispicked. and on and off during theseason.Other Teams Are Strong.The western basketball champion­ship will be the hardest fought forseveral years, if pre-season indicationscan be relied upon. All the "big eight"except Northwestern report that theyhave strong squads. At Illinois thewhole team of 1908. with the excep­tion of Rennaker, is back and there isa wealth of material from which topick center. Bernstein and Watson.the best men of last year, will be back.it is said, and wilt greatly strengthen(Continued on Page 4.)

In thewest none of the larger colleges wererepresented on the gridiron and in theeast Pennsylvania and Cornell werethe only prominent teams playing.The 0-0 game between Notre Dameand Marquette was the most notablegame in the west.

Other western games of in­terest were the Ames and Drake andthe Kentucky and Central Universitymatches. Drake defeated her old ri­val Ames by an 11-0 score and withthe victory clinched her claim to theIowa championship. The KentuckyUniversity team. which attracted at­tention earlier in the season by defeat­ing Illinois. was only able to score15 points on her old rival Central. andpermitted the comparatively weak or­ganization of the latter to win sixpoints.Cornell-Pennsy Game Slow.Wallowing and sliding around on afield that was several inches deep withmud, slush, ice and pools of water,Pennsylvania defeated Cornell in apoorly played game on Franklin fieldby a score of 17 to 6.There was hardly any choice in theteams during'tne 'first half; which end­ed in a tie at 6 to 6. but Pennsylvaniashowed the better form in the secondhalf.
