'VARSITY FIELD DAY. Several Records Will Probably Be Smashed, The annual 'Varsity track and field meet will be held at Regents Field this afternoon, and there is every indication that this will be the most successful meet held here in years. The work of the candidates in practice and in the handicap and Illinois meets has been of a high grade. All are in good con- dition and the rivalry is keen. With the exception of the quarter- mile run all of the events to be held at the Western Intercollegiate meet will be contested. The dropping of the quar- ter-mile run will give added interest to the half-mile run; as the quarter-milers have entered and several will push Hayes, who broke the 'Varsity record at the handicap meet, to the finish, and will probably cause the breaking of the present mark. The 100 and 220 yard dashes wilt.also be spirited events. Thomas and West- phal will maks things warm in both, and it is expected that the local record in the latter will be lowered. In the field events the most interest centers in the weight events. The work this week has been the best shown. Catey has been out for practice and. is. reported as having done exceptional work. Jones and Dye are also excelling, earlier work. All have imnroved In throwing the discus, the event which was this year added to the intercol- leglate list. In order to insure a large crowd the admission has been placed at 25 cents, ladies admitted free. Holders of sea- son baseball tickets will also be admit- ted free. The first event will be called prompt- ly at 4:10 o'clock and will be run off in fast order. The events and entries are as fol- lows: 1 mm_- What Is Vacation Next fall you will wish you had had one.

The meeting held by the freshman class yesterday afternoon for the pur- post of electing a board of editors for next year's Oracle was unusually quiet and orderly. The vice-president, Miss Gylling, presided in a very masterly manner-, and it was no doubt due to this fact that the rowdyism which Is gen- erally prevalent in such meetings was done away with. There were two tickets in the field, and the elections was closely contested, the highest number of votes received by a defeated candidate being 1-01, and the lowest number received by a suc- cessful being 118. Mist Margaret H. Cousin, of Detroit, received a unani- mous vote, being on both tickets. Miss Mary L. Brapjhaw, of An Arbor, ran exceptionally welL. The other members of the board will be Wareham Bald- win, of Detroit; Arvid C. Braastad, ofa Ishpeming; Ben R. Davis, of Chicago; Henry C. Felton, of Clinton, Iowa; F. L. Lorie, of Dtro ;- . -.'M' mapf hAn Arbr.; F. C. Nah,.of Pa- adna, .Cal., and W. W. ititemjan, «f Detroit.It is expected - Nthat Ar. Nah, who ha, done a great dea. of-work.in publications of this kind, will be man- aging-editor, and Mr. Braastad business manager. . Batting and Fielding Averages of the Base Ball Team. Below are given the standings of the 'Varsity players who have taken part in five or more games. As will be seen Lehr leads in both batting and fielding," with a clean record in the latter. The system of sacrifice bunting; which has been so successfully followed by the 'Varsity, has cut down the batting aver- ages of several of the players. Espec- ially so is this in the case of Wolf, who has done some remarkably clever sacri- ficing, which of course does not show up in a batting table. The standing of others has also suffered. The 'Varsity's record to date shows 15 games won, 12 lost and 1 tied (Bay City). There are yet to be played eight or nine ganes, six of which will be played on the home grounds. The Be- loit game of tomorrow and the Notre Dame game June 9. will be the big hoie games. Other games to be playod here are with Northwestern, Detroit Athletic Club and another yet to be de- cided upon. Chicago will be played at Chicago and Detroit, and Cornell at Ithaca. . , . FIELDING.
