Deep gloom pervades the ranks of
the junior tryouts, as Seward the
Varsity sprinter has been declared in-
eligible by the faculty and will not be
able to form one of the links in the
class team that up to the present was
doped to win the fall affair. There is
a superfluity of material out for his
place, so with Bonl and White to nail
down two laps for the mid-way men,
they still loom up as a powerful facto:
in Saurday's struggle.
All is not sunshine in the senior
camp, as the report has been confirm-
ed that Blake, the much touted half-
miler, will be kept out of the compe-
tition because of an operation he un-
derwent last spring for an abscess on
the -ear. His doctor has ordered him
to refrain from violent exertion this
fall so that he may surely be in shape
for the winter and spring. Even in the
face of this blow the last year men are
not despairing as they figure that any
team with Haff and Haimbaugh form-
ing two of the four units is not going
to be distanced in the quarter mile
sprint.
Nine men are available for a sopho-
more sel.ction, but they are of medium
ability, while as for the freshmen's
chances, it is safest to predict nothing.

of the undergraduates and alumni for
the Union, a common meeting-ground
for Michigan men, has met with great
success everywhere. To be a life mem-
ber of the Union has becom one of the
foremost aims of every Michigan man.
Hardly a day passes, that some stu-
dent or graduate does not ask that his
name be recorded on the life member-
ship list. This is especially true on
Saturdays when many of the old grads
are back for the football games.
Life memberships in the Michigan
Union are, as a rule, not solicited,
They are given freely on the part of
the applicant. An exception to this
rule, however, occurs in the case of the

seems strange that Huebel should

senior classes where a canvass is
made. Last year, during the solicita-
tion of the seniors, some 50 participat-
Ing life members were obtained. Next
spring, a similar canvass will be con-
ducted among the senior classes. In
so far as there is little or no urging
on the part of the Union management
to secure life members, the phenom-
enal results must be due to the part
the Union plays in the life of every
Michigan man.
Many university men have taken out
life memberships this fall. Some of
the applicants have paid the full
amount of $50.00 in cash, while others
are participating life members and
pay an annual fee of $10.00 for five
years. An especially large number of
freshmen have already signified their
good intention and have entered their
names with many others.
The plan has had remarkable suc-
cess. At present there are 89 life
members, and 211 participating life
members. These men are not counted
in the regular yearly Union member-
ship. But with their names the Mich-
igan Union can show by far the largest
membership in all the years of its ex-
istence, a total of 2,430..
Owing to a large lead accumulat
in the vote yesterday, Roosevelt is no
comfortably in first place in the stra
ballot, with a lead of 80 votes over W
son. The places remain unchange
but the leaders are getting farther o
of reach, so that it is now almost in
possible for any of the other cand
dates to move up in the race..
The feature of the vote is the ove
whelmiing Bull Moose sentiment di
played in all the departments, as ti
progressive leader had a lead in th
vote cast by every department yeste
day.
Forty-four states, one territory, an
eight countries are now represented
the vote, and in no case has there bee
but one vote from a state.
The three political organizations o
the campus have been working hai
in co-operation with the paper to mal
the vote representative of the studen
body, and the members of th
clubs have not been idle in' solicitir
votes for their candidates. If the vot
yesterday may be taken as a criter
on, T. R. will have a big lead when ti
ballot closes, unless of course, tle Wi
son men are planning to cast an ove:
whelmingly large -vote for the Ne
Jersey governor on the last day.
Every one who has not yet voted
urged to do so, and the fraternitie
sororities and rooming houses are par
ticularly requested to take advantag
of the rule allowing them to cast thei
ballot on one large sheet of paper, pro
viding that the other rules of the cot
test are lived up to.
COMEDY CLUB CHOOSES NEW
MEMBERS FOR ANNUAL PLA
Members Will Give Many Lectures
This Winter; Are Highily
Praised For Efforts.
The election of officers for the Ly-
ceum club resulted in the selection of
Ray K Immel, '10, for president;
Thomas E. H. Black, '11, '14L, for sec-
retary and treasurer, and Miss Helen
Magee for corresponding secretary.
The club is under the direction of
Prof. R.-D. Hollister.
During the past* four years, the
members have delivered about 150
lectures to various audiences through-
out the state, for which they received
many compliments. H. R. Pattengill,
of the Lansing Moderator Topics, gives
high praise to the men who have
spoken before the Christian Sociology
club of the'Baptist church at Lansing.
These lectures are to be continued,
and, in addition, several talks will be
given in different towns throughout
the state. The program will be an-
nounced later, and a circular issued,
describing in detail the work of the.
club.
Munich Players Take Well in Detroit.
Word received late last night from
Prof. Florer, who was in Detroit, to
witness the production given in that
city by the Munich players, was to the
effect that the entertainment there was
a pronounced success. The Munich
players are booked to appear at an
early date in Ann Arbor under the aus-
pices of the Deutscher Verein.

If long hours have anything to do
with progress in building, the Hill au-
ditorium will be done in a short time.
The concrete masons who are working
on the pavement in front of the build-
ing, are working by the light of gas-
oline torches.
Much interest is being shown in the
curious formation of the walk ap-
proaching the building. By means of a
complicated set of forms, the concrete
is being molded into a design some-
what resembling the "diamond-cut-di-
amond" design adorning the front wall
of the building itself. The empty
spaces in the forms will be filled with
red tile brick, so as to afford an agree-
able contrast with the concrete.
