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. FACULTY APPROVE DAJES FOR OPERA It has been definitely decided that r j r t * * * * * * * * * 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 Let's Go, Michigan! the Union opera will be troit on either March 27 MANY SENIOR JOIN TO SWE UNION'S TO Thirty-Nine Men Added to List Members-Leaders Now L to Underelasses For Aid For Michigan Men Every * * * * * * * given in De- or 28, at, one d cities from all over the have been organized from me.

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 GIVE LECTURES TO PUBLIC Public lectures on life and customs in foreign lands will be given to uni- versity students every Friday by the Cosmopolitan club.
