The sudden death of his grand- father summoned Baribeau to his home in Grand Ledge last evening. On the eve of the southern trip his wife's ill- ness prevented Baribea from going south with the team. The absence of Baribeau makes to- day's gamhe-an even more critical test for the Varsity. With a record of but one defeat in 114 intercollegiate con- tests and a row of nine straight wins behind them, the Varsity today faces the ,stroug Cornell team in the last contest before the eastern trip. With the exception of the Syracuse game Saturday, the Varsity has not been on the field since last Wednesday, the rainy weather preventing the prac- tice drills. 'The fielding and batting slump of the team in the game against the Orange is credited to the lack of regular work, and if this is true the nine should be in even poorer condi- tio today. Lundgren refuses to accept this pes- simistic prophecy, however, affirming that his men will put up a strong front. Quaintance, Ferguson or Davidson will hurl for Michigan, and the rest of the lineup will be the same as has been used in the other games. - The reports published in the state press to the effect that Captain Sis- le'r's arm is troubling him and that he had gone to. consult "Bonesetter" Reese this week end are branded by coach and captain as absolute false- hoods, without the slightest founda- tion. "Sisler's arm is in as good shape as it ever was," said Lundgreu last night, "and it is not at all improbable that George will appear in the lineup to- morrow, probably in the outfield." Regan will probably hurl for Cor- nell, and according to the advance no- tices is a star. Princeton, Columbia, Tufts, Bucknell and Lafayette have all been humbled by the Ithacans, and Re- gan Is credited with 21 strikeouts in the 17 inning game with Lafayette ear- ly this year. A feature of today's game will be the appearance of the seniors seated in a body, following the swing out exercis- es. 'A section of seats will be set aside for the near-grads who appear in their caps and gowns. The batting orders for today's game, which is scheduled to start at 4:05 o'clock, follow: Michigan-Sheehy cf; Howard lb; McQueen 2b; Benton rf; Baker ss; La- badie If; Hughitt ,3b; Baer c; Quaint- ance or Ferguson p.

ADD NAMESOF TWON MEN BY PETITIONS' Freshmen from all departments will assemble at 7:00 o'clock tonight, in the west physics lecture room, for the first big mass meeting of the spring, to create "pep" for the clashes with the sophomores on Friday after- noon and Saturday morning.

Sophomores will meet tomorrow night for the same purpose, at the same time and place. Final relay obstacle race trials which were scheduled for yesterday after- noon, were again postponed because of the unkindness of the weatherman. As a result, the number of tryouts still remains, 55 freshmen and 10 sopho- mores. At least 38 more second year men are needed, and opportunity will, be given to both classes from 1:00 to 3:30 o'clock this afternoon, to qualify. more and faster men for the three MAY FESTIVAL CURTAIN RISES.

A. C. While their elders the Varsity are preparing to combat with Syracuse on Ferry field this Saturday, the all-fresh track team is preparing to clash with the M. A. C. squad at East Lansing, May 30th. . Reports from Syracuse, the home of the Orangemen, say that Barton, the star mile and half mile runner, is in- eligible and will probably be unable to appear against the Wolverines in Ann Arbor. To offset this loss Syracuse is known to be strengthened by the find of a pole vaulter with the ability to top 12 feet. By all reports from the enemy's camp, the Methodists are strong where the Michiganders are weak, in the field events. Coach Tom Keane, of the Syracuse track squad, considers that his charg- es have the best chance in years to win an outdoor track meet from their western rivals. Bowser, his crack quarter miler is still suffering from a pulled tendon, but the veteran train- er hopes to have him back in shape for DELAYED SWINI OUT EXERCISE Author of Successful Book Lyrics for This Year's Production, Wrote team s. ................. .......

ALL RO1SI Sylvan S. Grosner, '14L, is the au- .thor of the book selected for the 1915 Union opera. Honorable mention was given to books submitted by W. A. Fort, '15; H. R. Schradzki, '15L, and W. A. P. John, '16; M. M. Scott, '16L, and B. S. Motter, '16. The books were high class in every respect and the committee of judges consisting of Bert St. John, Prof. F. N. Scott, and F. G. Tomkins, found the selection a diffi- cult matter. K. B. Hoch, '14, and A. C. Denison, '15, assisted the judges in an advisory capacity. The successful author has been act- ive in the work on past operas and. wrote the lyrics for this year's pro- duction, "A Model Daughter."
