The Michigan Daily VOL. XIV. O[GENSON STARRED. ANN ARBOR, MICH., SATURDAY, MAY 28, 1904. No. 172 Won Preliminary Heats in Both Dash- es in Record Time-Strong Wind Helped Good Sport Today. The track preliminaries for the sev- enth annual Michigan Interscholastic meet were run off yesterdayafternoon. The fields were smaller than were ex- pected, because several large teams, notably Morgan Park and Cleveland University School failed to show up. The Cleveland University men went to Ithaca where they expected a bet- ter chance in the Cornell interscho- lastic. The preparatory school boys made a good impression generally but no new performers of marked ability. Hogenson of Lewis Institute was the star of the day. The Chicago sprinter won his heats with ease and first place in both dashes tomorrow are conced- ed to him. Favored by a strong wind at his back, Hogenson covered the 100 yards in 10 seconds fiat and the 220 in 22%. Both marks improve on the Michigan Interscholastic records. The first heat of the quarter mile produced the race of the afternoon. Keays of Ann Arbor got away in the lead but the fast pace told on him when the wind hit him at the stretch. He had strength enogh left to break the tape ahead of Wykes. Two Central High men from Detroit Shaw and Smith won their heats in the 120 yard hurdles. Hurlbert of Oak Park was satisfied to qualify and did not exert himself. This morning the field preliminaries will be disposed of in order that the finals in the afternoon will be free from tiresome delays. Judging from the work of yesterday there should be nip and tuck fights in the hurdles and quarter. Although yesterday was an ideal day for the spectator, the attendance was disapointing. Today the stands should be filled as the sport promise to be first-class. The summaries: 100 yard dash-Firsts qualify. 1st hear-C. Schenk, Chelses, 1st; Candler, D. U. S., 2nd.

Several of the husky stars excited the envy of the high school boys yester- day afternoon and still more did their day's stunt in the morning. Tomor- row the men will work out as usual. VER EIN PLAY TONIGI1T. University German Club Presents "Die Hochzeitsreise" in Sarah Cas- well Angell Hall-Dr. Boucke's Re- ception. Tonight the Deutsche Verein will present Benedix's comedy "Die Hoch- zeitsreise" in Sarah Caswell Angell Hall, Barbour Gymnasiuni. Thee taste consisting of Miss Freeman, Miss Kingsley, Mr. Newmarker, Mr. Lauer, ad Mr. Goodrich have been working hard on the play under the direction of Dr. Florer and judging form last night's rehearsal, the play this eve: ning should be a great success. The plot of "Die Hochzeitsreise" is simple but a succession of incidents keeps the audience in a state of meri- ment. The hero of the play, Prof. Otto Lambert, is a man who has no interests outside his books. He in- herits a large fortune on condition that he marries. The professor has no inclination towards marriage butt he desires money in order to purchase more books and therefore complies with the stipulated condition and brings his bride home. He assigns her a bleak dreary room in the attic and then loses himself among his be- loved books. This ends the first act. At the beginning of the second act, which takes place the morning after the wedding, the professor is disturb- ed by his wife's ringing the bell for the servant. He has forgotten the fact of his marriage and sends a ser- vant to discover who is creating all the disturbance. Howeve, by means of her fine cooking and winning ways, the "Professor" succeeds in winning her husband's affections and tearing him away from his beloved books. Finally she induces him to go on a honeymoon. No admission will be charged for the play. The play is only one of a series of social entertainments given by the Verein . Immediately after the play, an informal reception and dance will be given by the members of the Verein. Their friends and members of the German faculty last evening, Dr. Boucke gave a reception to one of the women's sections of the Verein at -his home on Oakland avenue. The doctor gave an address on the German newspaper. He stated that while the German journals did not get news as, quickly as do the American papers, yet as a rule they are much more re- liable.

Perhaps no other department in the activity of the University, is doing a greater work in furthering Michigan interests than the Alumni Association, and, outside of the senior classes, its services are little known or appreciat- ed. The function of the Association is to bind together all Michigan grad- tates and former students wherever they may be keeping them in touch with the University. Michigan has over 25,000 living graduates and form- er students, more than anyother Amer- ican college. A card index of these names is kept in the Alumni rooms, giving a record as far as obtainable of each man since leaving college. The organ of the Association, and WILLIAM H.
