There are two very good reasons why University Hall should be crowd- ed with Michigan students at the ora- torical contest Friday night. In the first place, it will probably be one of the finest contests yet held in the Northern Oratorical League. The fact that every man in the contest is an honor man, is full of significance. It means that every man in the contest is experienced and has already won laurels which Friday night he will en- deavor to defend. Further, it means, that Michigan's representative will need all the help that the student body can give in the way of college enthusiasm. Mr. Halliday will speak first on Friday night. It is the rule for the representative of the college at which the contest takes place to deliver his oration first, in order to compensate for the advantage of hav- ing a home audience. It is up to the student body to give him the support necessary to win this contest. In the' debate between Wisconsin and Michigan, enthusiastic support of the team was entirely lacking. There was no singing, no preliminary yells were geven before the debaters appeared. The meeting was as still and grave as a deacon's assembly. No alumnus of Michigan or any other college would have thought that audience was a col- lege audience. Such a condition is lamentable. What we need is a little of the enthusiasm displayed in the football bleachers, or at the athletic meet. Michigan has great cause to be proud of her debaters and orators. They have done work worthy of her highest praise. And the student body should support that branch of college activity earnestly. A large number of seats are already sold for the con- test Friday night. The majority will be Michigan students. On the plat- form with the disadvantage of speak- ing first, will be Michigan's repre- sentative. It is then, the positive du- ty of every one attending the contest to do his best to spur Mr. Halliday on to his best achievements by making him feel that he has the earnest sup- port of every professor and student in the University of Michigan. (Contnued from page one.) juniors and freshmen, but definite ar- rangements have not yet been made for it. The teams are all hard at work, keeping up their practice and perfecting their team work, so when the games are played, they will prob- ably be in better trim than ever be- fore. SENIOR LAW ORATOR. In the Senior Law oratorical con- test, first place was given Edward Sonnenschein, who, it will be remem- bered, won second place in the 'Var- sity Oratorical contest last year and who has been prominent also in debat- ing. Mr. Sonnenschein's oration enti- tled "Faith in the Republic" was giv- en seven firsts and one second, thus making the decision of the judges all but unanimous, both on composition and delivery. Second place was won by Schaberg, whose subject was "A National Reflection." "The Officer of the Court," by Guy. was given third place. Senn was given fourth place and Axford, fifth. The orations were all carefully prepared and showed an unusual amount of hard, conscientious work. The judges were: Professor Sage, Dr. Effinger, Mr. Wedemeyer and Dr. Florer. WORK TO START ON BRICK WALL Students returning to Ann Arbor in the fall will find Ferry Field surround- ed by a brick wall that will be a credit to the 'Varsity. Yesterday afternoon at the meeting of the Wall committee of the Board of Control the contract for the con- struction was awarded to Koch Bros., of Ann Arbor. The wall is to be of dark red Collingwood brick, nine and a half feet high and twelve inches thick. Pilasters of brick are to be erected every sixteen feet along the wall and the whole is to be capped by a caping of white Berea stone, se- curing quite an artistic effect. The work is to be finished by the first of September under penalty of forfeit of twenty-five dollars per day, so that work will commence at once and be rushed to completion. The contract price was $13,025. At the last meeting of the Athletic board, Professor Sadler resigned from his position as chairman of the com- mittee on the construction of the wall around Ferry Field. lennis Rackets Perfect Balance.
