Track Authorities Face Grave
Problem
Michigan's much vaunted spirit was
shown to be a negligible quantity last
night, when only ten men put in ap-
pearance at the track meeting in Wat-
erman gymnasium. Even the majori-
ty of the men on the rubbing list
were absent. As a last hope, another
meeting is scheduled for next Tues-,
day.
Not since track was in its infancy
as a Varsity sport at Michigan has
there been such a scarcity of men for
the trainer to work with. This is sur-
prising in light of the easier require-
ments for winning the coveted "M."
Before last year, it was necessary to

Varsity baseball coach Carl Lund-

that he would arrive in Ann Arbor this
morning, and asked the Michigan lead-
er to issue a general call for all can-
didates to report this afternoon.
Rickey's successor comes to Ann
Arbor with both college and major
league experience as a player, having
captained his nine at Illinois in the
days of intense rivalry between that
institution and the Maize and Blue.
Later he was a member of the Chicago
Cubs pitching staff when the old
Chance machine was in its pennant
As a number on the course of the
Oratorical association, Prof. Richard
D. T. Hollister will give a lecture-re-
cital of Sheridan's English comedy,
"The Rivals," in University Hall at
8:00 o'clock tomorrow night. Admis-
sion to the lecture will be by course
tickets or by single admission cards.
It had been originally intended that
this entertainment be given as one of
the course numbers last fall, but it
was postponed at that time. Profes-
sor Hollister has given this recital in
many cities in Michigan and has been
well received everywhere.

at 8:00 o'clock and the second at 4:00
o'clock on Monday. Three in each
section will be picked for a second

two will be selected for the final.

FRESH ENGINEERS DEFEATEI)
IN FIRST HOCKEY CONTEST
Doyle, Forward For the Engineer-Law
Team, Largely Responsible
For Victory
In the first scheduled hockey game
of the inter-departmental series, the
engineer-law' team outpucked the
fresh engineers and grabbed the long
end of an 8 to 3 score.
Throughout the two periods, the
lack of team play was in evidence, and
individual working was relied upon by
both aggregations. Doyle for the en-
gineer-law team, was easily the most
brilliant star of the evening's perform-
ance scoring half of his team's total
count.
The teams were as follows: Eng-
Laws-Herman, Lelande, Edwards,
Ratz, Doyle, Garritte; Fresh Eng.-
H ellenberg, Valten, Alt, Wenzell, Jef-
ferson and Griffin.

more of the letters are granted, and it
was expected to attract a greater num-
ber of candidates to the field of track
endeavor.
WVith the first of the indoor meets
but one week distant, the track au-
thorities are faced with a grave prob-
lem. It is believed that there are men
in the university who could be de-
veloped into valuable members of the
team. The cards signed at the time of
entrance last fall, and in the posses-
sion of Director Rowe indicate that
there is such material in school, and
every attempt is going to be made to
turn it out.
To secure the attendance of a larger
number at the next meeting, cards
will probably be mailed to all the
known material in the university, and E
all others with any latent ambitions
in that line will be urged to come.
Freshmen will be expected at this
meeting, and it may be that the young-
sters will be able to teach their elders]
a little in the way of that elusive
Michigan spirit.
candidates for the Michigan nine. All
men wishing to try for positions on
the team should report in uniform at
the baseball cage in Waterman gym-
nasium this afternoon at 1:00 o'clock.
Coach Lundgren will meet the men
and outline the work for the season.
So far the daily practices, participated
in mainly by the battery candidates,
have been merely light workouts in
charge of Captain Pontius. Most of
the veteran fielders have been out all
this week, however, and regular work
will probably begin at once.
No freshmen or ineligible men
should report for work, as the crowd-
ad condition of Waterman gymnasiun
makes it impossible to accommodate
suitably the regular candidates.

"SCARECROW" TO BE PLAYED
IN PORT HURON SATURDAY
Unchanged Cast and Part of Orchestra
Will Be Taken on Trip With
Expenses Guaranteed
Final arrangements for the produc-
tion of "The Scarecrow" in Port Hur-
on have been decided upon. Mr. E. J.
Ottaway, '94, president of the St. Clair
county alumni association, has per-
sonally guaranteed the club all of its
expenses, and the faculty has given
official permission for the club to make
the trip.
About 23 persons will be taken
along, including four or five members
of the orchestra, which received such
favorable comment at the local pro-
duction of the show. The organization
will leave Saturday morning, and will
remain in Port Huron Saturday night,
returning some time Sunday.
The cast, which will put on the
show at Port Huron will be identical-
ly the same that appeared before the
local audience a week ago. Some of
the members failed to pass their mid-
year examinations, but in spite of this
they will be allowed to make the trip.

Famous Violinist Delights
A udience With Finished Art
An unalloyed joy was in
store for those who assembled
in Hill auditorium last night
to hear Carl Flesch, the notes
Hungarian violinist. By the perfection
of his technical deail, by depth of tone,
and breadth of musicianship this great
artist more than justified his high
reputation.
Mr. Flesch's program was well cal-
culated to appeal to a discriminating
audience. His numbers were chosen
to show off the music, rather than to
display the possibilities of the violin.
In every case the player sank hirtself'
in the work he was performing.
The height of Mr. Flesch's achieve-
ment was reached in his last number,
a Paganini concerto. This he played
with such virility, sparkle, and crystal-
like clearness that little can be said
that is not superfluous. In a Bach se-
lection Mr. Flesch replaced the frigid
style of average performer with hu-
man understanding and flexible hand-
ling. Schubert's "Ave Maria" was dis-
tinguished by luscious tone, and was
repeated.
Effective accompaniments were con-
tributed by Homer Samuels.
