Three surgical operations in two
months is the unique record estab-
lished by Leslie Kintz, '17E. Shortly
before vacation a bone growth was re-
moved from his head. Since then his
tonsils have been removed and he has
finished by having his adnoids cut
out. Kintz was able to resume his
studies in the university last week,
and is much improved.

A num-
Michigan's football team is being
blamed for the ruination of the Syr-
acuse championship Varsity crew, by
Coach Ten Eyck, of the Methodist in-
stitution.
Three of the Salt City rowing stars,
Hilfinger, Propst, and Robbins, are un-
fit for work on the Varsity eight this
season, according to the eastern coach.
Hilfinger' and Propst, the one-time
All-American tackles against whom
Michigan directed her attack, will nev-
er row again as the result of their in-
juries received in the Wolverine game.
The former suffered torn shoulder
muscles, and the latter's shoulder was
dislocated three times during the fray,
according to Ten Eyck. Robbins was
also much the worse for wear, as a re-
sult of his activities in attempting to
stop the rushes of Michigan.
CAST OF "THE SCARECROW"
PLANS SECOND PRODUCTION
Practice in Every Event Shows Only
Few Candidates Ready For
Competition
Dearth of material for the 1914 Var-
sity track team is staring Trainer Far-
rell and Captain Kohler in the face.
To remedy this situation a 'meeting
will be held Wednesday evening at
7:30 o'clock in the trophy room of
Waterman gymnasium, for the purpose
of attracting more candidates for the
team of the present season. Farrell,
Kohler and Director Bartelme will
talk.
Both trainer and captain believe
that the material exists in the univer-
sity, but that many of the possible try-
outs need to be stirred into action. The
number of candidates at work now
under Farrell is much smaller than the
number at the same time a year ago,
and there are vacancies to be filled
in nearly every event.
The situation is more favorable in
the dashes than in any of the other
events, but even here the actual num-
ber out for daily practice is only five.
In the quarter mile, there is only one
candidate, and to'" provide him for a
running mate. it would be necessary
to draft one of the candidates from
the half mile.
The distances are better taken care;
of than the sprints, as there are sev-
eral out at each of them. This number
includes only two veterans, however.'
Captain Kohler is the only man,
working with the weights, so that
there is urgent need for more men in
these events, as in the dual meets it is1
desirable to .enter at least two menl
in each event. The other field events
are better taken care of, with the ex-l
ception of the high jump, which has
up to date attracted but two candi-
dates. -
EXERCISES WILL BE HELDc
ON WASHINGTON'S BIRTHDAYt
Although Coach Carl Lundgren fail-
ed to arrive yesterday, a record num-
ber of candidates, both veterans and
recruits, turned out for the daily
workout at the gym.
Sisler, Quaintance and Baribeau,
pitchers, and Baer, catcher, the en-
tire force of veteran battery men, were
on hand. All the infielders were out
also, Howard and Hughitt appearing
for the first time. Sheehy, gardener,
reported, so that the only veteran ab-
sent yesterday was Cory, of the out-
field.
There are now six football men try-
ing for diamond honors. Captain Pon-
tius and Hughitt, of last year's nine,
and James, Lichtner, Benton and Dav-
idson are the pigskin artists tossing
the leather at the gym.
Although no word has been received
from the coach, it is confidently ex-
pected by Captain Pontius that Lund-
gren will arrive early today and take
charge of the squad at the practice)
session this afternoon.

of directors of the athletic association
at a meeting yesterday afternoon.
Owing to the ruling of the board of
regents that attendance at meets in
Waterman gymnasium should be re-
stricted to 500 for reasons of safety,
the athletic authorities were compell-
ed to devise some method of restrict-
ing the attendance.
The president of the athletic associ-
ation is to appoint a committee, con?-
posed of representative men from rep-
resentative campus organizations, who
are to draw 500 seniors. The drawings
will be made from the card indices of
the athletic association.
The numbers of the athletic books
of the successful seniors will be pub-
lished, and the tickets will be reserv-
ed until 3:00 o'clock of the day of the
meet. The tickets left will then be
given to the general student body, as
rapidly as they are called for.
In the succeeding meets the cards
of all seniors not selected among the
500 for the Cornell meet, scheduled for
March 28, together with the cards of
all members of the other classes, will
be drawn from in the same manner.
A committee will select 500 for each
meet, the numbers being published,a
and reservations being made until 3:00
o'clock of the afternoon of the meet.
The board of directors recommendeda
that the pictures of the Varsity foot-I
ball team, the squad of "R" football
men, and the cross country squad, be<
placed in the Michiganensian.,
At a meeting held last week, theI
board placed the matter of issuing the
handbook on athletics in the hands of1
Louis P. Haller, the secretary of the1
old board. Steps are now being taken
to publish the pamphlet.I

Members of the cast of "The Scare-
crow" will meet this evening at 7:15'
o'clock to consider the advisability of
giving ano.ther local production of the
show. Many requests have been re-
ceived for a second performance by
those who were unable to witness the
one last week because of the limited
supply of seats.
Next Saturday evening the club will
go to Port Huron where the show will
be repeated. The alumni association
at that place has guaranteed the club
all its expenses, thus obviating any
possibility of a financial failure. Final
plans have not yet definitely matured,
but it is certain that at least 18 per-
sons will make the trip. There is also
more than a bare possibility that a
special orchestra may be taken up to
take care of Prof. A. A. Stanley's spe-
cial incidental music.
COSMOPOLITAN CLUB WILL

Public lectures on life and customs
in foreign lands will be given to uni-

subjects in the evening at 7:30 o'clock

opened by T. C. Karwell, '17M, of In-
dia, who will speak on "Glimpse of
