I IELL FAILS EVENTS FOR TODAY i THE SPIRIT OF TODAY! s s * TO CROSS P AN ON QUAINTANCE Michigan Hits Regan Hard, Securing 11 Safeties, While Quaintance Is Holding Ithacans Safe All the Way NAVIN WATCHES WOLVERINE TRIUMPH OVER ITHACA NINE Sisler Plays in Left Field and Makes Sensational Diving Catch off Keating Fast fielding and effective pitching held Cornell at bay yesterday,while the Wolverines regained their hitting stride, and won a 3 to 0 victory from the visitors for the eleventh straight win and the seventh shut-out decision of the season. The Varsity, despite the lack of prac- tice this week, came back in decisive fashion, recovering from their slight slump on Saturday and playing un- beatable ball in the last home contest before the eastern trip. The Wolver- Ines found Regan for 11 safe clouts, touching up the Cornell star in every roend except the second and seventh. Only his excellent control and habit of tightening with men on the bases kept the score down. "Ack" Quaintance, Lundgren's pitch- ing selection in the absence of.Bar- beau, must have got wind of the fact that Frank Navin, owner of the De- troit Tigers, was in the stands. The smiler threw one of the best games of his college career, holding Cornell to three scattered hits, two of which were fluke singles. Lundgren'sent Captain Sisler into left field yesterday in place of Laba- die, the captain batting in fourth place. A double and single and several bits of sensational fielding were Sisler's re- plies to recent stories that he had hopelessly injured his arm in the Syra- cuse game. Pro. I.

The past two days have been spent in per- fecting the individual displays, and all are in readiness for the thousands of visitors who are expected to go through the buildings. Work was finished yesterday on the miniature railway prepared by the electrical engineers, and the engine will make regular trips this morning, drawing a trailer which will carry sev- en passengers. The automatic sema- phore has been wired and is in work- ing order. Power for the engine and signals will be furnished by a gasoline generator which has been placed be- side the tracks. The films for the motion pictures on highway construction, which will be displayed .by the civil engineers, have arrived, and will be shown continu- ously during the exhibit. Actual cross- sections of seven models of different kinds of road, working models of all road-making machinery, a five foot re- inforced concrete bridge, and displays of different road materials, will also be features of the highway exhibit. An 18 story model of the New York Chamber building, showing all the details of construction, will be shown ~by the civilkengineers. -Over $100 was spent for the solde'r alone to complete this model. Other features of the civ- il's exhibit will be a slow sand filter, in actual operation, a model harbor, complete- in every detail, even to fan- created waves, and a model of the reg- ulating works for a canal. The glider of the Michigan Aero club has been carried out beside the engineering building and will be on display throughout the exhibit. Among the interesting features of the physics exhibition, in connection with the electrical department, will be a singing arc lamp, an Ive's color lan- tern, the creaion of low and high vac- uum effects, and the discharge of elec- tricity through gas. Small M's will be cast for all visitors at the miniature blast furnace in the foundry building, and other novelties will feature the exhibit.

With the opening strains of Elgar's "Pomp and Circumstance," the annual May festival started on its 21st round last night. And for the second time in its history, Hill auditorium was the scene of the event.

The affair will be in the form of a novel musical fest, and will be -staged on the evening of June 5 near the band stand. It will be conducted entirely at the expense of the first year men.

It was exquisite in cessful, and as a result, more than clarity, beauty of tone and finish of enough men have been signed up for phrasing. Hardly less impressive was the overture to "Benvenuto Cellini." Mme. Gluck's delivery of an aria from "Rigoletto" was marked by sur-> passing beauty of tone, the roulades, trills and staccatos in the concluding portion being poured out lavishly. "Casta diva" brought out the dramatic phases of the singer's voice and show- ed its intonation and power. The three Russian songs were most effective. Tonight at 8:00 o'clock the Choral Union, under the leadership of Profes- sor Stanley, will sing Handel's orato- rio, "The Messiah." The soloists will be Inez Barbour, Margaret Keyes,Lam- bert Murphy and Henri Scott. NICHIGAMUA SELECTS NINE MORE JUNIORS FOR SOCIETY Michigamua, all-senior honorary so- ciety, took nine new braves into camp last night, after raiding the junior class.

Freshmen tug-of-war teams were posted yesterday afternoon in University hall. The successful can- didates for the soph tug-of-war teams, and all the relay teams will be posted on the bulletin boards of University hall, the engineering building and the gymnasium this afternoon. The first tug-of-war event is sched- uled for 4:15 o'clock tomorrow across the Huron river, just west of the Mich- igan Central station. The lightweights will pull first, and will be followed by the middle and heavyweights. The bafiks for the respective sides have not yet been chosen. Fresh lits elected Harry L. Calvin to captain the heavyweight tug-of-war team, Walter DeLano to lead the mid- dleweight tug-of-war, and John Codd to direct the first relay team. Fresh engineers elected M.W. Paterson light- weight tug-of-war captain, P. J. Grif- fen pushball captain, and H. L. Car- roll captain of the first relay. The combined classes will elect a freshman captain for- the third relay this morn- Ing, and the combined sophs will-also; elect a lightweight tug-of-war leader. ical and vocal selections. The univer sity band will also play, making it last appearance of the year in Ann Ar bor. Japanese lanterns will serve fo illumination.

To ExeUse Classes Decoration Day No classes will be held on Decora- tion Day, May 30. This follows the an- nual proclamation of Governor Wood- bridge N. Ferris, urging the observ- ance of the day.

The festivities were ended by attend- ing the Cornell baseball game in a body, at which seats had been reserved for the seniors, and the first all senior sing on the Memorial hall steps at 7:30 o'clock. Seniors of all departments will wear their caps and gowns on every Wed- nesday and Friday until graduation. Following the precedent set by last year's seniors, the gowns will be worn both morning and afternoon, 4
