Plan For Raising Funds to Meet Debts
Checked by U University
Authorities.
WILL APPEAL TO REGENTS.
Following the recent announcement
by the Majestic theater management,
that the Varsity band would appear
there soon, comes a statement from
the University authorities that the
performance will not be permitted.
The reason given is that the University
officials strongly object to having the
name of the band used for advertising
purposes.
The plan of giving a performance at
the Majestic was suggested to Band
Manager Max Stanley by Arthur Dav-
enport, president of the Student Coun-
cil, as a means of paying several out-
standing obligations. The measure
was not officially adopted by the Stu-
dent Council, however, and vas just a
personal suggestion on Davenport's
part. When seen last evening, Mr.
Davenport said: "The band has sever-
al debts which must be paid; there is
no band money in the treasury and it
would be practically impossible to ap-
peal to the student body at this time,
so I suggested to Mr. Stanley that he
arrange for a performance at the Ma-
jestic. But of course if the university
will not permit the band to earn mon-
ey in this way, there is no use going
any further with it."
"We are not especially anxious to
perform' at the Majestic," said Max
Stanley, "in fact it would be a great
hardship for many of the fellows to
participate. We need the money for
some current expenses and are not
particular how we get it. When Mr.
Davenport suggested that we give a
performance at the Majestic, I thought
this would be the best way out of our
financial difficulties, as we do not care
to appeal to the students for help."
It is possible that a petition will be
presented to the Regents at their next
meeting, asking for some permanent
fund for the maintenance of the band.

stands two to one in favor of the sophs.
Each of the three relays will constitute
another point and the push-ball will
add the seventh score.
The obstacle races will commence at
9:30 this morning at Ferry field. Al-
though the freshmen turned out in
greater .numbers for the tryouts, the
sophs are planning to concentrate their
best men on two races, in order to
carry away at least two points from
the fray.
Will March to Field.
Before going to the field, the sophs
will meet in front of Tappan hall this
morning at nine o'clock, and the fresh-
men at the flag-pole at eight. Lists of
the successful soph relay candidates
have been posted in University hall,
and these men are asked to report at
Ferry field at 8:30. The freshman re-
lay men will meet at the clubhouse at
the field at the same hour.
The push-ball contest will take
place immediately following the relays.
The big leather ball is inflated ready
for use, and the field has been marked
for the contest. Frank McHale will
act as captain of the soph contestants,
and the fresh leader will be chosen
this morning.
Will Keep Crowd Back.
Much criticism was aroused yester-
day on account of the action of the
crowd in breaking through the re-
straining wires. ,For this reason, an
especial effort wlil be made today to
keep spectators in bounds, and all per-
sons not officials or professional pho-
tographers, will be compelled to re-
main behind the side lines.
"The officials did good work this af-
ternoon," said Frank A. Picard, chair-
man of the spring contest, last even-
ing,"but there was a general tendency
to let the crowd go where it would, ob-
structing the view of all those behind.
We will try to manage today's contest
better, and with this end in view, all
officials are asked to meet at the Un-
ion at nine o'clock this morning."
The official program for the spring
contests had a good sale yesterday.
The cap-night picture, in red and black
on the cover, elicited much favorable
comment.

Editor, The Michigan Daily:-
As a lover of true sport and as a
graduate student of this university I
wish to protest through your columns
against the decision rendered in the
case of the heavy-weight soph-fresh
tug-of-war. Together with a score of
other people I saw members of the
sophomore team wind the rope in a
half-hitch around a willow tree. Of
course this action made all efforts of
the freshman team futile. I maintain
that after this direct violation of the
rules the Student Council should
award the two points in question to
the freshman team.
While the freshmen most certainly
deserve the severest censure and even'
punishment for the outrageous manner'
in which they violated campus tradi-
tions by the obnoxious and detestable
time worn paint-gag, the fact remains
that this punishment should not come
through the violation of another uni-
versity tradition, true honor in sports-
manship.
I am sure that all true Michigan men
will agree that this is not a question
of mere fresh-soph supremacy but a
matter of honor of university tradition.
