To Get Big Games Here

Charles Baird Will Present a New Scheme.

Wants a Sinking Fund

And Will Use All Profits on Business Men's Games for This Purpose.

Charles Baird is about to propose a scheme to the business men here that will be a means of making the annual business men's games in the fall and spring a great drawing card to bring thousands of strangers into the city at least twice a year.

He proposes to place all the profits of the Notre Dame game here next Wednesday into a sinking fund which will be used to draw the big teams of the country here. It costs money to get big teams here. For instance, Pennsylvania will not come to Ann Arbor for a game short of $10,000, and the Athletic Association does not want to take such desperate chances on good weather. Cornell will come for $3,500. With a good sinking fund saved up from profits of the business men's games, there would be no hesitancy in getting Cornell here for next fall, and, with good weather, the chances are that the guarantee fund could be cleared on the game, as four thousand strangers could be drawn here by judicious advertising.

At any rate, it will tend to give a better Ann Arbor schedule, and this will please the student body and those business men who care for foot ball.
