The coroner deemed no inquest nc- essary, and the body was taken to the undertaking rooms yesterday morning, where it awaits the arrival of the de-I ceased's father, who is expected to reach Ann Arbor this morning from Claremont, N. H. No motive for the tragedy has been discovered. The uncle of the deceased. who resides in Detroit, was unable to believe that his nephew committed sui- cide, but the authorities see no room for any other theory. Assistant Dean Butts, of the engi- neering department, was unable to un- earth any reasonable motive for the act. He suggested "atmospheric influ- ence," which was the cause given by a leading Philadelphia physician for the three suicides at the University of, Pennsylvania two weeks ago.t "LOST MANUSCRIPT" PREVENTS SWEARN~ OF NEW MEMBERS I FRATERNITY "WAR" BSKETBALL SERIES S AMICA "LY ti hE<_, I examined and accepted I of Regents.

Consequently the oath of office will be taken at the next meet- ing. The petition of the freshman archi- 'tects to wear a distinctive department- al color of orange and black, to distin- guish themselves from the rest of the engineering department, was put into the hands of a committee consisting of Herman Thrum, '14, and Allan T. Ricketts, '15E, for investigation. Noth- ing definitte was done regarding the proposed changes in the council or- ganization, but after some discussion, it was decided to postpone final action until the opinion of the faculty has been obtained. It was decided to open all meetings at 7:30 o'clock in the future. will be allowed to room in a fraternity house, and no pledging can be done outside of Ann Arbor.

He. asks that they report before February, 21, and after this date no names will be accepted. The present assistant managers will have charge of the en- rolling of the sophomores, and will be present for this purpose at Waterman gymnasium each afternoon at 1:00 o'clock. It is expected that a large number of second-year men will try out for the positions. asked that every man available for the pitching and catching departments re- port today for work. Pitchers and catchers, to the num- ber of a dozen, responded to the first call for men, and the first practice of the season was held yesterday. The work was light in nature, but it is expected that as the men condition themselves, it will be gradually in- crea ed. The cage has not been hung as yet, but it will be in place when the harder work makes protection nec- essa ry. While one veteran pitcher did not report yesterday, he is expected to turn out for practice within a few days, when the hurling department will .be complete so far as the old men ar@ concerned. In addition, several young- sters have donned uniforms, insuring keen competition for places. In the catching department, Rogers, the mainstay of last season until he broke 'his leg, is not eligible for com- petition, while Webber has left college. Baer of last year's squad, and Hippler are both available, however, and it is not expected the receiving department will be weak. Wyman, another good catcher, has also reported for work. Quaintance, Baribeau, Davidson and Metcalf of last season's squad are the pitchers who worked out yester- day. While the last two did not get into a Varsity game last season, they showed themselves performers of fair' ability, and are expected to make plac- es for themselves this year. Ferguson, fresh law pitcher last year, will also be available. The general call for candidates will not be issued, it is believed, for a week or more. meets this season to 500.
