Intra-'university Athletics. A petition, asking for the encour-- contests in. inter-collegiate competi- tion. This tendency is becoming more noticeable at Michigan and presages an excellent future for outdoor sports of all descriptions. Engineers' Idea Good. The memorial idea adopted by the senior engineers is worthy of commen- dation and, since it is not possible to put the scholarship fund scheme in effect this year, it is worthy of being followed by other classes who have not yet decided upon their memorials. The Michigan Union is an excellent or- ganization for memorials, in the shape of fire places, and furniture. This is the place where the classes will reunite on all future occasions, and the presence of a series of class memorials will always bring the classes before the undergraduate. The engi- neers are to be congratulated upon their choice. towntalk~ loo-o-o-we weren't sick all this time, but our lady love had pleurisy and we were SO nervous we just couldn't write this stuff. Man the Pumps! We're Sinking! Dear Ed: --Cannot we persuade the fathers to loan us the village fire en- gine to bail out the campus sidewalks? Let us have land pumps for emergen- cies lest some five-foot patriot drown, or the campus disappear beneatho the flood. Submerged. Sink or swim, survive or perish, we will reach our eight o'clocks.

This was a trifle premature,-a jumping at conclusions upon the part of many, who believed that their annual contri- butions were all going to be placed into the proposed cement stands. !k When the Board of Regents passed the resolution which placed athletics 'g upon a more permanent and substan- ur tial basis than before, it was with the distinct idea that minor sports and more sports should be encouraged. To carry out this idea, the Athletic t Association has busied itself ever since trying to devise schemes where- I by in. the future more interest could be aroused in inter-class, inter-epart- muage mnent and inter-society athletics. This h Ave has really been a hard task because, -judging by the past few years, gen- eral interest in athletics, apart from varsity sport, has been very moder- Sate. Each year the inter-class man- lakagers find themselves working against the same~ condition of half-hearted- $100ness and general lack of interest, which continually threatens to disrupt Sthe entire schedule. Some classes cart- v not arouse enough enthusiasm to place a single team into the field. Oth- anE ers have to be pushed and prodded along before they enter into compe- tition. 12:18, This evident lack of interest has 11:46 been discouraging to the men in sig charge, and it was strongly hoped that 5a~na., a revival of interest might result from 10:4 5 the passage of the blanket tax reso- 0 and lution. Of this the recent petition is siat.indicative and, while it is useless for its original purpose, it is reassuring to the authorities and speaks well for the future development of minor sports and intra-university athletics. The real end of successful athletics is the greatest good and best develop- ment for the greatest number, and not necessarily the winning of scores of HAVE YOUR CLOTHES PRESSED BY HALL BR~OTHiERS 40 O Suits Dry Cleaned mnd Pressed 73c Overcoats Dry Cle DRESS SUITS PRESSED SU 50C 0v Administrators Sa Of Men's Clothing This mammjoth sale includes not only every article of minter apparel but our new Spring inerchandh:e "Lich 1-as just arrived and been placed on cur sbelve s.
