All Pitchers Are In Shape; Lundgren
Satisfied With Saturday's
ShowIng
Balked yesterday by rain which kept
his men from practice, and which
promised n drill for today, Coach
Lundgren last night presented a good
imitation of pessimism when doping
out the Wolverine prospects for the
Cornell diamond clash, scheduled for
tomorr Q on Ferry field.
Aoording to the Michigan tutor, the
lthacans will furnish the stiffest kind
of oppition. Lndgren believes that
pthe Big I.. bunch Is just abouttas
strong as anything in the east, and
cites their victory over Princeton, by a
count of 6 to 2, to substantiate his be-
11ef In Regan, the Cornell twirler,
the Wolverine batters will be called
upon to face a mioundsman who has
been. having things all his own way,
and who has engendered a wholesome
respect in the minds tf eastern dia-
mond squads. This heaver will prob-
ably be the Cornell 'hoiee for the
heavy work against Michigan tomor-
row, and the prospect is not a bright
one for Lundgren's idle batters.
Thbe coach hs not yet decided on
his pitcher for Wednesday's game.
With the possible exception of Captain
Sis , somewhat worn out by his
strenm1 s atvties of Saturday, all
the W olverine twirlersare In good
shape and ready for the ry. It is lg
ically Bari ea ' turn for duty, and the
veteran may be the finl choice.
Lndre ~yesterday expressed him-
self as not entirely disgusted with the

In this way the effect of magnetic at-
traction on gyroscopic action will be
demonstrated.
A complete electric semaphore sys-
tem has been installed on the minia-
ture railroad constructed by the elec-
trical engineers. An electric engine
will run continuously during the ex-
hibit, drawing a trailer which will hold

SPECIAL SESSION ON WEIDNESOAY I PROGRAM COVERS WIDE RANGE
JIohn'Leonard, '16L, wa;s electeti Yar-
sity football manager yesterday after-
noon at the meetin of the board of
directors of the athletic association.
He will take the place left: vacant by
the resignation of Hlarold Schradzki,
'151.
. The election of Leonard was by a
unanimous vote of the directorate and
came after a careful canvass had been
made of the available 6andidates. John
Naylon, Douglas Donald and John
Leonard were the three men nominated
for consideration by the bonird, Leon-
ard winning out on the first ballot.
The newly-elected manager has
been prominent in campus activities
during his three years in the universi-
ty. Members of the board stated last
night that the choice of a manager was
based chiefly on ability to handle the
executive duties of the office. Leonard
will manage the team which will play
the heaviest schedule in the history of
a Michigan football team, including, as
it does, the battle with Harvard at
Cambridge.
A special meeting of the directorate
is to be held tomorrow, at which time
the questions not taken up yesterday
will be placed before the board. It
is probable that the matter of elections
to the board in control will be discuss-
ed at this time.
DANCING CHORUSES RECEIVE
LARGE PART OF ATTENTION
Professor Kenyon Looks for Complete
Rehearsal of Pageant by
Next Week
Dances are receiving the greatest at-
tention at present in the drilling of the
pageant choruses. Work has beca
steadily pushed forward, and Professor
Kenyon expects to rehearse the entire
pageant the first of next week.
The court dances have been prac-
ticed to a nicety, while the peasant
dances need a day or two more to per-
fect them. Half a hundred more men
are needed to balance the pageant cast.
Mr. E. V. Moore, instructor in the
school of music, has written one of the
songs for the pageant. It is called
"The Fairy Tree of Bourlemont," and
is intended for the children's song.
Training the main cast has not been
started in earnest as yet, because their
work must wait for thG finishing
touches on the large chorus.,
When the Chicago Symphony obches-
tra appears in Hill auditorium tomor-
row evening, as the opening attraction
of the 21st annual May festival, it will
number 70 men. This is the largest
orchestra that has ever played at a
May festival in Ann Arbor. As usual,
Mr. Stock's men will furnish a back-
ground for the event, appearing in ev-
ery concert except the organ recital
Saturday afternoon.
The orchestral works will cover.
a wide range, and an attempt has been
made to satisfy the varied tastes of
festival patrons. Among these works,
the D Minor Symphony (Cesar Franck),
"Till Eulenspiegel" (Strauss),- "Im-
pressios of Italy" (Charpentier), "Fire
Music" (Wagner) and selections from
"Midsummer Night's Dream" (Men-
delssohn), stand out in bold relief;
while the magnificent "Festival March
and Hymn to Liberty," by Frederick
Stock, will be welcomed, first on ac-
count of the esteem in which the com-
poser is held and, after hearing it, on
account of its exalted worth.
SOPHS MAY LOSE OBSTACLE
RACES THROUGH DEFAULTS
Small Number of 1916 Men Try Out for
Teams; Freshmen Report in
Full Force
Final trials for the fresh-soph relay
obstacle teams, will be held from 1:00
to 3:30 o'clock this afternoon at the
Fair grounds. Unless second year men
turn out in larger numbers, the fresh-
men will win the races by default, as
only ten sophs have attempted to run
for time to date.
Freshmen weighed in for the tug-of-
war teams in goodly numbers yester-
day afternoon, with the result that the
necessary quota of 135 men is nearly
completed. But, as in the relay teams,
there are still many places to fill, and
freshmen who have not been on the
scales, may be weighed in this after-
noon from 4:00 to 6:00 o'clock, with
the sophomores.
Plans for the push ball combat have
been completed. Final instructions
will be given out at the mass meetings
scheduled for freshmen tomorrow, and
for Thursday night for sophomores.,
Barriers will be erected on Ferry field
Friday morning, to enable relay team
members to practice getting over the
obstacles.,
