SHELTON TO RULE
LUDINGTON CAMP

Yesterday's football practice looked
like the real thing, with Captain
Raynsford and "Johnny" Lyons of the
Varsity and a whole coterie of the 1913
scrubs and All-Fresh added to the
flock of rookies who responded to the
call for the first practice on Wednes-
day afternoon.
Lyons put in an appearance, a little
bit the worse for his long winter's lay-
off, but he showed no end of "pep" in
chasing down the field under the punts
sent away by Pontius. This veteran,
together with Torbet, had complete
charge of the work-out yesterday,
while Captain Raynsford constituted
himself a regular candidate, and work-
ed out with the rest of the footballers.
Pontius was out practicing for the
job he will be compelled to hold down
next fall when he coaches Tennessee
University, and he made a very good
imitation yesterday of a real gridiron
mentor in full action. Several of the;
"M" men, who will be eligible for the
1914 eleven, were present at the drillj
yesterday afternoon, but in citizen's
garb. They announced, however, that1
they would be out and ready for the1
coming of Yost. Cochran alone may
not be able to report until fall, pres-
sure of school work preventing his
donning the moleskins.
"Hub" Huebel, of the 1912 Varsity,t
was an interested spectator at thet
practice.
FOOTBALL STADIUM NEARLY
READY FOR CONCRETE WORK

southern trip took the field, with the
exception of Labodie for McQueen at
second. McQueen and Sisler were the
only veterans not out.
Ferguson's pitching featured the
contest, the lanky twirler holding the
recruits to two hits in four sessions
and whiffing five youngsters. Hippler
handled the slants of the tall hurler in
credible fashion.
Baribeau worked for the other nine.
In the first inning three hits netted
three runs, and in the fourth the Var-
sity bunched four hits for five runs.
Baribeau, although hard hit in these
two innings, was not responsible for
all the runs, Mattson twice dropping
the ball on plays at the plate. Bari-
beau failed to walk a man, but poor
support proved costly.
Howard, Benton, and Graham each
had two hits apiece, their drives being
responsible for most of the runs. La-
bodie was credited with two infield
hits, which completed the Varsity as-
sault. Baribeau and Maltby were the'
only men on the Reserves to connect
safely.
Quaintance worked the last inning
for each team. The Varsity collected
two tallies off his delivery.
On the whole, the Varsity looked
much stronger than on their last en-
gagement before leaving on the south-
ern trip, and should easily take the
season's opener from Alma Saturday.t
The score: ,

The Varsity easily defeated the Re-
serves, 10 to 2, yesterday afternoon
in the first game of the season on Fer-
ry field. The regular team used on the

Word has been received by cable-
gram of the death of Thomas Spencer
Jerome, '84, on Easter Sunday at Cap-
ri, Italy. Mr. Jerome, the only son of
Ex-governor Jerome, was born at Sag-
inaw, January 24, 1864. le studied
law at Michigan in 1885 and received
the degree of Master of Arts from H-ar-
vard in 1887.
Mr. Jerome attracted wide attention
through a course of lectures given in.
the American School of Classical Stud-
ies in Rome in which he criticised the
methods of Roman historians. He dem-
onstrated the baselessness, to some
extent, of the popular portrayal of the
Emperor Tiberius.
Mr. Jerome has had a permanent
residence in Capri since 1901, and has
devoted himself to a study and inves-
tigation of the history of the Roman
Empire, particularly the causes of its
decline. Until mail is received, it will
not be possible to tell how nearly fin-
ished are the volumes, upon which he
was engaged, and in which general in-
terest was shown by European and

Working through rain and in mud,
Engineer Weeks' men in the past ten
days have completed most of the prep-
arations for the actual pouring of con-
crete for the superstructure of the
football stadium in Ferry field.
The foundation footings have been
finished, and forms for 28 columns at
the east end of the stand have been
erected, with their cross members. The
front retaining wall for one third the
length of the south section, and the en-
trance retaining wall have been built
to grade level.
Engineer Weeks is waiting to obtain
washed gravel in order to start work
on the columns proper. No gravel pits
are yet open, because of the frost in
the ground. Rain has hindered the
construction so much that the drainage
system of the stand has already been
installed to remove the water from
the ground in which work is being
done.

"THROAT EPIDEMIC A THING
OF THE PAST," SAYS DOCTOR
A decrease of more than 50 per cent
in the number of persons coming to
the University health service for treat-
ment, has been noticed since the re-
opening of the university following
Easter vacation. Dr. H. H. Cummings,
head of the service, says that the epi-
demic of throat trouble is a thing of
the past.
The system of house-physicians in
all fraternities, sororities, and house
clubs, as well as rooming houses, is
being worked out in detail, at the pres-
ent time. Announcement of the plan
adopted will probably- be made next
week.
ZOOLOGY FACULTY' MEMBERS
TO SPEND SUMMER IN EAST
Prof. R. W. Hegner, Mr. Peter Okkel-
berg and Miss Alvalyn Woodward, all
of the zoology department, have ar-
ranged to spend the coming summer
at the Marine Biological Laboratory at
Wood's Hole, Mass., where they will
carry on extensive special investiga-
ions. Miss Woodward will leave about
the middle of May, and the others will
follow shortly after commencement.

FRESHMEN ENGINEERS FAVOR
ANNUAL CLASS FESTIVITY
Freshman engineers declared them-
selves unanimously in favor of the
proposed freshman class dance, to be
conducted annually along the lines of
the soph prom and junior jamboree, in
their assembly Wednesday morning.
The social committee was empowered
to make whatever arrangements for
the party which they see fit with the'
other classes.
Fresh lits will discuss the matter at
a class meeting early next week.Should
the plans mature, and the consent of
the faculty be gained, the affair will
be held at some time this spring at the
Armory, and it will be dubbed with
some appropriate name.
Michigan Engineer Receives Office
Col. Henry G. Prout, '71E, has been
elected president of the Union Switch
and Signal company, of New York city.
For many years Col. Prout was editor
of the "Railroad Gazette." He served
in the Civil war in this country, and
later became an officer in the engineer-
ing corps of the Khedive's army in
Egypt. From 1874 to 1878 he was gov-
ernor general of the provinces of the
Equator, t , -

LEAGUE OFFICIALS RESTRICT
NUMBER OF STUDENT PLAYERS
The magnates in the city baseball
league settled the question of allowing
university students to take part in
league games with a compromise at
their meeting Wednesday evening.
The officials were about evenly di-
vided with regard to the question and
it was only after lengthy deliberation
and personal recommendation on the
part of the president that they agreed
that each team shall be permitted to
sign two non-resident students of the
university who shall not be known as
professional players.
The opposition to the granting of
this permission took its stand chiefly
on the idea that the league should in-
clude residents of Ann Arbor only.
Prof. J.R. Allen Speaks in Boise, Idaho
During spring vacation Prof. John R.
Allen spoke at a meeting of Michigan
alumni in Boise, Idaho. Over 130
alumni of the university are in Idaho,
among whom are the attorney general
of the state, and the United States gen-
eral in charge of the engineering work
in that district.
Board Makes Wolverine Appointments
At the meeting of the board in con-
trol of student publications yesterday
the officers for this summer's Wolver-;
ine were chosen. Leo N. Burnett, '14,,
was appointed managing editor, and F.
G. Millard, '14-'16L, business manager.

Due to an accident to the new glider
of the Michigan aviation club, the dual
meet with the Cornell club, which had
been arranged for at Ithaca early in
May, has been cancelled. The glider
was nearly completed Friday, and a
trial flight was attempted at the fair
grounds. At a height of 25 feet a wire
broke and the craft fell to the ground.
L. C. Wilcoxen, '16E, who was in the
glider at the time of the fall, was un-
injured.
The local club is without funds to
repair the glider, which was badly
wrecked, in time for the proposed Cor-
nell meet, and it is probable that no
more attempts to fly will be made in
Ann Arbor this year.
DETROIT SOCIETY TO DONATE
YEARLY FUND FOR LIBRARY
University library authorities have
just been notified that the Borussen
Gesellschaft of Detroit has decided to
make an annual appropriation of $50
to the university library for the pur-
pose of purchasing German books.

scribed with the insignia of the soci-,
ety, as is customary in the case of
books presented to the library by out-
