*IJANAVA N INJURE S LEG MUSCLE.
This Accounts for Star Miler's Poorf
Showing Saturday.
.Michigan students who have been
wondering at the poor showing made
by "Eddie" Hanavan, Michigan's miler,
in the mile event at the Intercollegi
ate Saturday, have learned since the
return of-the team to Ann Arbor that
-Tanavan was suffering from a pulled
muscle during the race. In one of the
final practices before leaving Ann Ar-
bor Hanavan complained of a crimp in
his leg, but it was given treatment and
it was thought he would be in fair
shape for the race. In the mile Sat-
urday, Hanavan pulled a muscle and
consequently his showing was not up
to his form.

Y BILL LEAVES FOR
HOME IN DETROIT TODAY.
Passing of Women's Athletic Associa-
tion Will Not Affect Pain- -
er Field.
LE AGUE E TO REMAIN SAME.
Plans, designed by Prof. Aubrey
Tealdi, for the improvement of Palm-
er field, will not be affected by the
dissolution of the Women's Athletic
Association. According to the present
flans of the Women's League, which
will take over the athletic activities,
the intended improvements to the field
-will be carried on under the supervis-
ion of the committee of athletics.
The first step in the .beautification
and increase in efficiency of the field
will be the erection, in places at least,
of a fence. With the money that has
already been raised through the fwom-
en's athletic fee, it is hoped that the
fence may be erected around the most
vulnerable parts of the field, and this
probably will be commenced next year.
The first section, about 2,200 feet long,
will cost about $300. This will be con-
structed of barbed wire topping and
wire strands.
The plans, as designed by Prof. Teal-l
di, include the erection of a field house
and skating pond, with profuse shrub-
bery around the field, and when com-
pleted will make Palmer field the fin-
est athletic field for women in the
country.
Another feature of the new regime
in control of women's athletic activi-
ties,'will be the fact that 25 cents, the
customary entrance fee to the Wom-
en's League, will not be increased next
year, so that for the -usual sum, the
women will enjoy the double advan-
tage of league membership and the
use of Palmer field, Heretofore, a spe-
cial fee for admittance to the athletic
association has been charged, and the
fact that the membership fee for the
league will combine both next year,
will probably result in a decided in,
crease in the the membership of the
organization. .
Senior Chlemicals I)ance Tonight..
The senior chemical engineers will
gather at the Country Club this even-
in gor a farewell dance. Several nov-
el features have been planned by the
committee. Prof. and Mrs. E. E. Ware
and Dr. and Mrs. A. E. White will be
the chaperones.
Detroit Germans Are Incensed Over
Poor Patronization of "Die
Journalisten."
MAY MAKE GOOD THE DEFICIT ,
The failure of the German residents
of Detroit to patronize the Deutscher
Verein play, that was given recently
in that city, has aroused a storm of
indignation among the leaders of the
German societies of the city. The day
following the performance, the Abend
Post, a German daily, printed a scath-
ing editorial in which the Teutons

Prof. J. R. Brumm left yesterday

Lis lectures. Next week he will speak at

were censored for their attitude to-
ward the college thespians. Meetings
of the several German societies have
been called and an effort will be made
to help the Deutscher Verein out of its
difficulties that arose when the play
failed to make expenses.
The situation in Detroit is rather pe-
culiar because most of the German res-
idents belong to clubs and these clubs
are consolidated into one large or-
ganization. When the play was first
given in Ann Arbor, the Detroiters
were anxious to secure it for a local
performance and the big society agreed
to take enough tickets to pay the ex-
penses of the production. However,
no steps were taken to sell the tickets
to the society in a block and the mat-
ter of purchasing seats was left to the
individuals. When they failed to at-
tend the play, the backers of the pro-
duction were left in the lurch and the
prominent Germans in the society feel
the affair keenly,
From hearsay comment among the
Germans of Detroit, the reason for the
lack of interest in the play is said to
have been because "Die Journalisten"
was so familiar to many that they re-
ally did not care to see it. Then too,
the many attractions that visit the city
in the spring as well as the press of
business and social functions kept
many away. It seems that the time of
year was unfortunate for as soon as.
the warm weather comes, the theatri-
cal season becomes dull until the mid-
dle of summer. However, no other
date could be secured at the theater
and the play had to be put on at that
time or not at all. Because of these
unfortunate circumstances, the De-
troit Germans want to make amends
and the Verein officials feel confident
that the club will not lose any money,
