HELLENICWA 'New Constitution Greeted With Fai-or By Inter-Fraternity Council; Practical Adoption Is Result '4INORITY PARTY BROACHES REQUEST FOR ARBITRATION spring practice. Although the coach refused to com- mit himself as to the outlook for next fall, it was evident that he does not regard the prospects for a successful season as remote as others who have openly criticised -the policy of arrang- ing next fall's heavy schedule. The coach wa s busy all day Sunday and Monday conferring with the foot- ball men at the athletic office, but no formal meeting was held. Spring training, according to the present plan, will begin about April 13, when the Easter recess closes. Yost will be here all during this training, and probably will be in Ann Arbor on brief visits in the meantime. The action of the athletic authori- ties in again securing "Germany" Schultz to coach the Wolverine for- wards was heartily commended by Yost. There was some fear that the former All-American center would re- turn to Wisconsin, where he coached two years before coining here, or per- haps accept one of the offers made him by Northwestern and a southern university. Yost came to Ann Arbor' directly from New York, where he attended the sessions of the football rules com- mittee. No important changes were made in the playing code, according to the Michigan coach. The field judge official, re-created by the com- mittee at the option of the teams, will probably only be used in the big games next fall, as far as Michigan is concerned. The rule prohibiting the coach from walking on the side lines is ineffect- ive, according to Yost; as a coach can" signal from the grand stand as well as from the field of play. The only, important change made in the rules is one suggested by Yost at the session of last year,when he advocated a ten yard penalty for the intentional; grounding of a forward pass. This was adopted Saturday, as the play was seen last season in the east, when West Point adopted the western stylel of forward passing so successfully against the Navy.1 ThREE NEW COURSES GIVEN IN FORESTRY BEPARTMENT NOTICE COMES FOLLOWING VISIT OF COACH LUNI)GREN Baiseb all Smchednle Is Announced; List Contains Thirty (lames for Team Coincident with the announcement of Michigan's baseball sche rule for' tle 1914 season, Coach Carl Lundgren visited Ann Arbor Sunday to outline the early work, and Captain Miller Pontius issued his first call for can- dGlates. The pitchers and catchers have been notified to report this afternoon at 12:15 o'clock in Waterman gymna- sium for a light workout although the cage will not be put up for several days. Work for the entire squad is not expected to start before next week. Michigan's schedule is practically the same as last year. Thirty con- tests are arranged, as against 31 last spring. The season opens with the usual southern trip during the Easter vacation. Notre Dame and the Uni- versity of Alabama appear as the new opponents in place of Castle Heights and the University of the South. On the eastern trip the usual games with Princeton, Pennsylvania, Cornell and Syracuse are to be played, with Swarthmore substituted for Lehigh. The home schedule is practically the same as last season, although Notre Dame appears on Ferry field for two games, the first between the two institutions in several years. Pittsburg and Washington and Jef- ferson are the only teams of last year left off the list. Neither of them come west this year. Adrian and Hillsdale colleges have been givenE their places. The list of dates follows: - April 4-University of Kentucky at EXTENSION UPON LIBRARY IS PROPOSED TO REGENTS Literary Faculty Asks for Increase in Budget to Make Room for 3More Books The building of an extension to the general library is to be taken up at the next meeting of the regents. The literary faculty has petitioned the re- gents to employ a competent architect to draw plans for the project and has also asked for an increase in the lit- erary budget to allow the purchas(, of more books for the library. The idea at present is to build an extension on the east side of the li- brary to be used either as a science roomn or for peri- odicals ad newspapers for ref- erence. The storage quarters for historical books and papers is at pres- ; ent overcrowded and it is probable that the new addition, if built this year, may be used as an historical room. IAN1 IIALL TOURNAMENT TO RE hELD NEXT WEEK IN GYM A handball tournament will be stag- ed in Waterman gymnasinm some time the first of next week, under the direction of the athletic association. Cups will be awarded to the winners, and about 40 entrants are expected A meeting of those interested will be held the last of the week.

MISS SAWTELLE RECOVERING . FROM ILLNESS AT HOSPITAL Miss Emma Coy Sawtelle, assistant physical director of women, who was taken to the University Hospital last Thursday suffering with a light at- tack of diphtheria, is recovering rap- idly. The Alpha Epsilon Iota lodge, where Miss Sawtelle was living when taken ill, was placed under quaran- tine, and all the women living there were treated with antitoxin. No other cases have developed however, and the quarantine will be lifted this morning. Compromise, the only hope of the split fraternity factions, materialized at a meeting of the Inter-Fraternity Conference held on January 31 The meeting ended in the practical adop- tion of a constitution, which will now form a working basis for all future legislation. Only' a formal ratifica- tion yet remains before the new in- 'trument goes into effect. Both par- ties are believed to be fairly well sat- isfied ove- the results of the meeting. The two moot questions which were finally settled were those concerning i quorum and the majority necessary to pass legislation. The majority of the fraternities held for a quorum Df a bare majority and a working majority of the same size. The smaller faction advocated a quo- rum of three-fourths and a working 'najority of two-thirds. The compro- mise settled on two-thirds as a quo- rum and three-fifths as a working ma- jority. Compromise was first broached and fathered by the minority party, and the other side quickly fell in with the suggestion. By the passage of these two measures the minority gave up its negative veto, which had been the bone of contention for so long, thus depriving' its opponents of the "polit- eal ring" argument. The question of rushing rules will be discussed at the next meeting of the Conference, which is scheduled for this evening at 7:30 o'clock. Lexington, Ky. April 6-University University, Alabama.
