Friends oil Expansion Think They are Getting Too Much Anti-Impe- rialism Here. A considerable movement has started among certain students, againstt the efforts of the ianagement of the various lecture courses to fill At"n Arbor with a surfeit of anti expan- sionist ideas. The Students Lecture Association brought Burke Cockrani here on Feb. 4 to speak against Im- perialism. Another management se- cured Wm. J. Bryan to come on Feb. 18, to speak on the same sub ject. The last straw "on the ex- pansioniet's backs was the action of the committee in charge of the an- nual Washington Birthday celebra- tion whereby Congressman Chas. A. Towne, of Minnesota, was invited in speak on the same subject. All these lectures have been held in University Hall and have drawn large audiences. As a result of a clamor on the part of a large number of students the ex- ecutive committee of the Good Government Club yesterday decided to try to bring to Ann Arbor several men to speak it favor of expansion. Congressman William Alden Smith has already accepted at itvitation, and will speak as soon as a date cant be definitely arranged. Arrange- ments are being made whereby it is expected that Senator Cushman K. Davis who is an alunus of Michigani will also come. Meanwhile they pro- pose to give the students the benefit of local talent and will probably ar- range to have certain members of the faculty address the students in the near future both pro and con on the subject of Expansion. The Track Team Will do Light Work Dailq. With Fitzpatrick's return, the track team training which was going along rather slowly, has beent greatly stimu- lated. From now until the close of the season, the trainitg will be con. stant. This is somewhat earcer than training usually commences at Michi- gan. The faults of our track teams in previous years has been undertrain- ing rather than overtraittiug. For the first few weeks the work will be light, but the amount wil be in- creased as the men develop into con- dition. Mr. Fitzpatrick will be at the gymna-ium every day from 9 to 12 a. m. and from 2 to 6 p. i. vwhen any who wish to talk to him about their training may do so. For convenience in handling thee men they will be divided up into squads and wherever it is practica- ble, placed under the supervision of some member of last year's team. For the present, most of the men will train indoors, though it is hoped that the weather will soon be favor- able enough to allow outdoor work. The distance men commenced out- door running the first of the week and the hammer throwers will com- mence as soon as the ground is suffi- ciently dry. All who have had any experience in hammer throwing or wish to learn the art, should talk over the matter with "Fitz," next Saturday morn. ing, when a time will be agreed upon for regular individual practic. The sprinters and hurdlers will practice starts on the gymnasium floor every day itmediately after the 4:13 class. The hurdlers andj umpers wilii practice their respective events on alternate afternoons at 4:45 o'clock. All are expected to report every day, as there will be special work. The quarter mile men will be in a separate squad which Teetzel will take charge of every afternoon at 4:45 o'clock. The distance men, mile and half mile, will be in one squad. When- ever it is not storming, they will do outdoor work. They will report to Wood every afternoon at 4:30 o'clock. The walkers will also be a squad by themselves. They will report to Brookfield every afternoon at 5 o'clock. The pole vaulters may practice anytime during the morning or from 3 to 4 o'clock in the afternoon. The importance to the track team of this early practice cannot be over estimated. Every one who has the least desire to make the team should come out at once and not wait for at personal invitation. Even a totally inexperienced man can if lie has any ability develop into a very fair athlete in the long season of training whicht we will have this year. Those who are interested in Michigan's athletic success, but have no ambitions to be athletes, should take it upon them- selves to urge the likely ones who do not come out either because of modesty or laziness, to try for the team. All who know of any man who might become a track athlete, but is not now trying for the team, are requested to give his name to Capt. McLean. FOOTBALL MANAGER. Verdier Elected Student Manager for Next Season. At Tuesday ight's meeting of the Athletic Board, Leonard Verdier, '99, of Grand Rapids was elected student manager for next year. Mr. Verdier graduates from the Literary Department this year, but intends to return and study law. He has been prominent in Univer- sity circles for the past three years and has held many offices of interest among the student body. He has been financial secretary of the Ath- letic Association for the past year and has filled the office with great credit. No better choice could have been made for the position, involving as it does much responsibility. F. H. Lancashire, '01 E., of De- troit, was elected assistant baseball manager for the coming season. Mr. Lancashire's election will leave a vacancy on the board of directors which will be filled at a subsequent meeting. Track Manager Mehop reported that the fresh-soph. meet would be held March 11, and the 'Varsity in- door meet one week later, March 18. Those ittending to participate are urged to begin training at once, SOCIETY ROSTER. ADELPI SOCIETY. Adelphi Society proposes to depart somewhat from its usual program in its meeting tomorrow night.

Saturday last, Dr. Nancrede re- moved a large brain tumor 3 inches by 2.5 by 1.5, which had produced almost rotal loss of speech, and de- cided paralysis of the right arm and leg. The patient came from Port- land, Oregon, to consult Dr. Nan- crene. It was a most obscure and puzzliag case, yet the Doctor was able to determine almost the exact condition as shown by the operation. It was necessary to remove a piece of bone 3.5 by 3 inches in order to reach and remove the enormous tumor which compressed those large portions of the brain presiding over the functions lost. The patient promptly regained her speech and improved in the use of her hand and leg. A permanent recovery is confi- Gently expected by the hospital officials, Up rown Sateat.
