Beginning at three o'clock on the main floor of the gym, the finals in the wrestling tournament will take place this afternoon, and will consist of four matches. Dr. May will act in the capacity of referee and to avoid any long drawn out bouts, a time limit of 30 minutes will be set, at the end of which a coin will be tossed to decide the championship between any two wrestlers. In the semi-finals in the 145 pound class held yesterday afternoon, be- tween O'Connor and Casewell, the toss of a coin was necessary to decide the match and Casewell happened to choose the right side, thus giving him a place in the final bout. On account of the injury to Bleich's feet the cup cannot be awarded in the 150 pound class until he has had a chance to meet either Edie or Harris who are matched for this afternoon. Today's matches: 133 pound class-Stape vs. Doyle. 145 pound class-Combs vs. Case- well, 158 pound class-Edie vs. Harris. (Semi-final.) Heavyweight class-Kohler vs. Pet- erson. 'oung, '14, C. A.

C. Vaughan yester- day. This conclusion, was arrived at, by Dr. Vaughan, after he and his as- sistants 'had conducted a vigorous in- vestigation of the ventilation of the various class rooms about the campus. In making these tests, a glass plate covered with a thin film, was exposed to the air under test. The plate was then taken to the laboratory where the germs which had collected ;were al- lowed to develop, so that they could be identified. It was a notable fact that under this test a number of the class rooms prov- ed to be perfect in regard to quality and purity of their air. (Tlt Michigan Daily assumes no re-. sponsbili/3 for sentiments express- ei in comununications.) Editor, The Daily:- May I add a word concerning the "Granger's" controversy? For me, there is only one possible reason for a boycott of Granger's: if such reason exists for the assemblies, i exists for every dance held in-that hall. The two excuses offered for the boy- cott, that the assemblies are unchap- eroned parties and that the attendance is unrestricted, are inane and supreme- DR.

Unchaperoned parties, indeed! Ex- cept to say "good evening" to and "good ni'ht" to, pray what attention does a university woman pay to a chaperone? And why not? It ought to be a fair supposition that a girl who knows enough to behave herself at a dance, with or without a long suffering martyr in the corner called a chaper- one. Yet they publicly claim by re- fusing to go without one that they are in danger of misbehavior released from a chaperone's care. The refusal to go to a dance where town girls are admitted, is pure, un- adulterated selfish snobbery. It i the sarnie spirit that allows limousines and diamonds to be lavished on one woman at the expense of. a hundred more lowly but less criminal sisters. By what personal superiority have thel boycotters been born to college and plenty instead of the shop and ever- lasting struggle? The exact merit or benefit to be gained in flaunting one's better luck by refusing to meet on a common ground with one's fortunate sisters is not readily apparent to a dull fellow like myself. Jane Adams seems to believe that living with youi poorer neighbors is good for one's self as well as for the neighbors: the good has something to. do with sympathy and kindness, though, and has nothing to do with the complexion. Of course, if the boycotters are ab- staining to avoid setting the town girls a bad example, I unequivocally withdraw my objections with abject apologies to every fair, unselfish, and noble-hearted boycotter.

On the Monday, Tuesday,' Wednes- day, and Thursday afternoons follow- ing, at four o'clock, in the same place, readings of each- of the four acts will be given by some member of the German faculty. Dr. Harry C. Thur- nan will probably take the first act; Prof. John )ieterle the second, Prof. Carl E. Eggert the third, and Prof. To- bias J. C. Diekhoff, the last.

Following his plan of having the heads of the different departments ad- dress the freshman engineers, Dean M. E. Cooley obtained Prof. H. C.

Prof. Anderson spoke on the several phases of mechanical engi- neering and the attitude' a man should show in regard to his work. Proi. Cross Speaks at High School. Prof. H. R.

Behind the policeman were gathered many persons but they did not move to as- sist the helpless one. The policeman took a little better aim and prepared to fire. Then the crowd parted and a coat- less youth dashed in. On his vest was emblazoned a huge badge with the mystic words "newspaper reporter." A large yellow pencil bulged from hisl vest. le cast a glance at the reclin-1 ing figure. "Don't shoot," he cried, "I'll buy the license and the muzzle for him.
