THE M. HIGAN DAILY 1i 1 WILL NOT BE MAJESTIC BILL a0 i 72 xi )gram 11111 q - 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. SOPITS ANNEX MOST POINTS IN TUG-OF-WAR (Continued from page 1.) his watch into the safe-keeping of a sophomore before being conducted to the stream. In the confusion, Lam- bert lost track of the soph, and has not seen his watch since. Sophs Lead in Score. As a result of yesterday's contests, the score of the spring games now. 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.

WOULD UPHOLD TRADITION.I \ i L 1 i \ t, (The Michigan Daily assumes no re- sponsibility for sentiments express- ed in conmunications. 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. FRANZ A. AUST, Grad. Student.
