Hope for a successful season of 1913 in the track and field sports is begin- ning to assume a more definite form as the members of last year's squad come straggling in day by day to report to the trainer "Steve" Farrell. It is not expected that all the candi- dates will come out in their suits un- til after exams and the junior hop. But there are enough of the track can- dlddtes already started in serious pre- paration for the coming meets, to en- able the trainer to form some idea as to the prospects in the different events. All the sprinters of known ability in the school have been in training for several weeks. Among this number are Bond, Seward, Lapsley, and White. There are a few other dash men who showed up well indoors last year but failed to materialize in the longer out- door sprints. In the hurdle events a- big hole made by the injury to Craig, is yet to lie filled and up to date no likely material has been unearthed.a Craig's knee will probably keep him out of hurdle competition on the hard gym ~fioor. Farrell said on this sub- Ject that there is reason to hope that Craig can be used in the sprints in the Indoor meets and may possibly be in shape to form a member of the quarter-mile relay team. 'The chances for a first class. qpartet in this form of competition were greatly enhanced by the discovery of Carver, whose specialty hitherto had. been the half- mile. #He has shown strength and speed that should make him a valu- able recruit. There is a possibility of Blake being utilized in this event in- stead of in the longer distances. With Capt. Haff to take the last lap of the relay, and Tuttle of last year's all fresh, and perhaps Craig to finish theI tale, another relay banner may be brought this year to grace the walls of Waterman gymnasium. For the half-nie, strong bids are being made by Brown, Otte and Car- ver. Smith, a last year A. M. A. man. is the only candidate that is making1 good time in the mile, while Haim- baukh has it easy in the two mile race. "Heinie" is in the best of con- dition and with the development of another season behind him can be expected to fight for first place in the eastern inter-collegiates. Jump-I ing easily over the bar at six feet1 without attempting anything higher,c Sargent looks good for a betterment of his place in the eastern meet of 1912, while Griest and White are per- forming well around the six-foot mark., In the pole-vault, Farrell has brought to light some talent in the person of Daskam, a senior law who withoutf any knowledge of pole-vaulting form,1 yesterday cleared ten feet. He is a# hard worker and because of the deter-t mination of Barton not to report for1 indoor work, Michigan's hopes for1 points from that source will be cen-1 tered in him. With Kohler to repre-t sent Michigan in the weights, no fearst are held in that direction. Still an- other. man by the name of Smith, and Cole from the 1915 squad are strivingc for second honors, both casting the1 shot well beyond 40 feet. The black cloud in the horizon of track prospects is the lack of milers for a four-mile relay team. But in general there is no excuse for pessi-1 mism when the approaching trackE year is contemplated.t Indiana Club to Hold Meeting Friday.t There will be a meeting of the Indi-i ana club in Tappan hall tomorrow atK 4:00 o'clock.

NOT TO HOLD SPECIAL MEETING. Council to Put Off Consideration of Protest Till Tuesday. There will be no special meeting of the student council to consider the letter of Edward Kemp and Sylvan S. Grossner protesting against the elec- tion of a student councilman in the junior law class last Saturday, which they claim was illegal on account of solicitatioh of votes. Pres. Barringer said last night that it would be impossible to hold a meet- ing before the regular one next Tues- day night, at which time action will be taken on the measure. According to the constitution of the council, forty- eight hours notice must be allowed the members of the council before a special meeting can be called, and as the letter did not officially reach him until yesterday afternoon, this would make the meeting too near the regu- lar meeting to warrant.calling a spe- cial session. It seems that although the protest was written in plenty of time under average circumstances to have reach- ed the president, it was held up in its course, and arrived several days late. Dance Tlekets Go On Sale Today. Tickets for the regular weekly dance at the Michigan Union Saturday even- ing will go on sale this afternoon at 5:00 o'clock. MUSIC ANNOUNCED, FOR JUNIOR HOP Program of Dances This Year Will Be Better Than Ever Before. COMMITTEE WILL MEET TODAY.

WILL BENEFIT LARGE NUMBER OF GRADUATES EVERY WINTER Among the many other innovations under advisement in the forestry de- partment a scheme most unique in its nature is being considered, namely that of holding an informal seminar for graduates. This is brought about by the fact that the knowledge of forestry condi- tions peculiar to this country, are making such rapid advances that the men in the field are unable to keep abreast of them. For this reason many graduates have stopped over in Ann Arbor for a few days this winter to catch up with the latest improvements and discoveries of their profession. Many of these men have run up against new problems during their field work, and many of them in seek- ing a solution have come to their'con- clusion that their trouble was not without a precedent. For this reason they came back during the winter sea- son when work is slack, to get in touch with the theory once again. This year an unusually large number has return- ed, among them being men from both Yale and Harvard. This state of af- fairs warrants the plan that the de- partment is now considering. So far the scheme is merely tenta- tive, but the faculty intends next win- ter to inaugurate an informal seminar at which the field men can submit their problems. It is expected that groups of men from the same territory will meet together, since their -work will be inore or less of the same na- ture. Those who are unable to get to Ann Arbor in person will send in written reports with the necessary data and maps. The problems will thus be discussed from all angles and in nearly every case decisions can be reached benefitting not only the men, but also the profession as a whole. DEDATERS TO LEAVE TODAY FOR__CHICAGO Both Aftirmative and Negative Teams Hold Last Practice Yester- day in Universi- ty all. MCHIGAN HAS WON 28 OUT OF 40 DEBATES IN 20 YEARS Debates With Both Chicago and North- western Take Place Tomorrow Night. Michigan's last practices before the Chicago and Northwestern debates were held in University Hall last night, the affirmative team being given a rest today, and the other men leaving for Evanston. At the end of the final preparation both Professors Trueblood and Hollister spoke very favorably of the good condition of both teams and the excellent chances for another double victory being added to the long record of Michigan triumphs. During the 20 years' history of the Central Debating League, Michigan has won 28 ot of the 40 debates in which she has competed, or practical- ly three fourths of the contests, a rec- ord unparalleled by any institution in the country. One of the few times when the Maize and Blue suffered de- feat in these forensic contests was at Evanston in 1895, when Gov. Hadley, who is to lecture here next week, was a member of the Northwestern team. Prof. Hollister will go to Evanston with the negative team, the four men leaving at nine o'clock this morning, and returning Saturday. These men have all had previous experience in intercollegiate debating. Solomon Blumrosen, '13L, was a member of the 1910 Varsity team against Chicago; John S. McElroy, '13L, has represented Central University of Ky., in three intercollegiate contests; and Floyd W. Moore, graduate school, has twice represented Albion college in the same capacity. Blumrosen and Moore are both members of Delta Sig- ma Rho, the honorary debating fra- ternity. The Northwestern team- is composed of the following men: E. D. Hesler, '14, winner of the society debate; V. M. Baksh, a graduate of Ohio Wesleyan University and a native of Indiana; and E. C. Austin, '15L, a graduate of Wisconsin University. The affirmative team meets Chicago in University Hall Friday evening on the same question as that debated at Evanston, "Resolved, that the plan of banking reform proposed by the Na- tional Monetary Commission should be adopted by Congress." SENIOR ENGINEER CAMPERS WILL GIVE REUNION PARTY "Camp" dance, the big social func- tion of the senior civil engineers who attended summer camp on the shores of Douglas Lake last summer, will be! held this evening at the Packard acad- emy. Many features have been arranged for the dance, among which will be the wearing of camp attire by the camp- ers, and special vaudeville stunts by the "Darbs," coupled with a one day' issue of the "Black-fly," the official camp newspaper. Dean Cooley Addresses Assembly. For the first time since his illness Dean Mortimer E. Cooley addressed the weekly assembly of the fresh en- gineers yesterday. Dean J. R. Effin- ger also spoke, urging them not to neglect their cultural* training alto- gether. 3JIMOR GIRLS TO GIVE FIRST OF SERIES OF DINNERS SOON The first of the series of three lunch- eons arranged by the junior girls, will 15e given next Saturday noon at the Michigan Union. The tickets for the series are to be sold at $1.20 and are being rapidly disposed of. The lunch- eon and toasts will be followed by a musical program and afternoon danc- ing. NOVELIST AIDS PROF. FLORER. German Author Sends Material to be Used in Publication of Book. In answer to inquiries sent him by Prof. W. W. Florer, Gustave Frennsen, one of the best known novelists of the age, has written several letters which have been placed in the case in the east end of the library. Prof. Florer asked for information as to his early life and his sources for "Joern Uhl," one of his best known books. " The author replied by sending a biography of his life, which he had corrected himself in the margins. This is also in the case. The information was needed for the purposes of a mono- gra1ph and Frennsen by Prof.Florer and for a school edition of "Joern Uhl" which is being prepared by Prof. Flor- er and Prof. Jennsen, of Bryn Mawr. Besides giving the desired informa- tion, the novelist asks for a copy of the text book, when it is finished, and offers any further aid which may be required. Return from Grandfather's Funeral. George P. Caulkins, '13; and Horace J. Caulkins, '16, have returned from their home in Detroit, where they were called by the death of their grandfather, George Peck, one of the most prominent bankers in Detroit.

EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE MEETS SOON TO PICK MEETING PLACE University and City Are Already Plan- ning 3any Things for Visitors. At the completion of the teachers' canvass yesterday afternoon, the re- sults showed that a total of 7,486 ac- commodations have been promised to the committee having charge of the campaign aimed to bring the next meeting of the Michigan State Teach- ers' Association to this city. The per- sonal house to house cnvass brought promises to provide accommodations for 5,500 teachers. To date, the fra- ternities and sororities have agreed to take care of 486; the hotels can be depended upon to house 500; while fully 1,000 will take the interurban cars and return to Ypsilanti and De- troit every evening. The next meeting of the state asso- ciation's executive board will be held in Kalamazoo on Saturday. They will decide at that time whiere the next meeting of their association is to b held. The local committee in charge of the present campaign will have sev- eral representatives at the meeting of the board and they will endeavor to bring the meeting here. The results of the present canvass will furnish them a strong argument. At the meeting Saturday the local committee will agree to sign a contract in which they promise to furnish lodg- ings t6 all members of the teachers' association, and to provide places where meals can be secured without difficulty. The'contract will also bind the local committee tp furnish a cen- tral building for registration, and to throw open Hill auditorium and Uni- versity Hall to the association for their meetings, without cost. The privilege of free access to all univer- sity buildings is also provided for. The proposed contract calls for dem- onstrations to the teachers of the uni- versity wireless station, the naval tank, and the large telescope in the observatory. Special lectures are to be given by the more prominent pro- fessors and a complimentary organ recital with vocal accompaniments has, also been arranged for. The board of regents has appropriated $1,000 to pay for these entertainments and the com- mon council is expected to make a similar appropriation. Badges will be given to all members of the association when they register so that there will be no difficulty in their enjoying the privileges promised them. Effort will be made to secure the co-operation of the churches throughout the city in providing mieals to the teachers. They will be urged to have their various aid societies use the kitchens which are usually found in the basements of the churches for this purpose. A football game will be play- ed on Ferry field on the Saturday af- ternoon of the week in which the meet- ing is held here. DISPOSE OF MANY TICKETS FOR UNION DINNER TONIGHT Practically all of the 150 tickets for the monthly membership dinner at the Michigan Union, to be held this even- ing at 6:00 o'clock, have been sold; The remainder will be on sale at the Union today. Following the usual custom, the after-dinner program will be.large- ly composed of speeches on live cam- pus topics. Prof. Robert M. Wenley will be the principal speaker of the ev- ening, and Prof. David Friday will officiate as toastmaster. "Hal" Hurl- burt, '14M, and "Mort" Hunter, '13E, will be the student speakers. Instru- RESULTS OF CANVASS ARE ENCOURAGIN ger success than ever before. Com- CERCLE FRANCAIS TO GIVE ITS ANNUAL SOIREE TONIGHT plete musical programs have been re- ceived from both C. L. Fisher, of Kala- mazoo, and William Finzel, of Detroit. Both leaders assure the committee that the music will be better than in pre- vious years, not only in general qual- ity but also in features. All the latest popular and operatic selections are in- cluded. The Fisher orchestra will play the prelude and the Detroit aggregation will render the grand march. There will be 48 dances, divided into regular and intermission numbers. The or- chestra will be composed of 15 pieces each, the Finzel bandbeing augmented by two pieces. Three pieces lave been written expressly for the hop, including "Just One Little Dance in Your Arms," by Burton Fisher. Edward Shuggs, the well known soloist will be present, as well as Paul Bennett, trap drummer for the Fisher orchestra. Although dark dances have been frowned upon to a large extent, both orchestras will introduce a-large num- ber of feature dances. Among the pieces to be featured by the Kalama- zoo orchestra are "Wise Old Owl," "St. Vitus Rag," and "Circus Day." A business meeting of the combined hop committees will be held at the Alpha Delta Phi house this af- ternoon at 4:30 o'clock. At this meet- ing, the committees will reach an ul- timate decision in regard to the exact nature of the dances. They will also attend to several important details conneLcted with the affair. The inde- pendents meet at the Michigan Union tomorrow afternoon at 4:30 o'clock p. Members of French Faculty to Partic- ipate in Farce at Party This Evening. Final dress rehearsal for the pro- gram which the Cercle Franc, as will produce at Sarah Caswell Angell hall tonight, was gone through last night with a snap and vigor which gave the management full confidence that to- night's performance will'hot fall short of anything of its character that the Cercle has given in years. "Un Mon- sieur qui prend la Meuche," the "snap- py" farce by Abiche was cleverly exe- cuted by the faculty members who will play its roles. Not a hitch interfered with the performance last night, and it is predicted for them who will see the playlet this evening a comical per- formance with plenty of personality. and mirth. The performance of the Abiche com- edy will .occupy one half an hour, the other varied numbers of the program, which fegture music prominently, will consume' another hour, and at half past nine, a dance will be begun in the parlors of the gym. The soiree will be open to all who have secured the associate member- ship. ticket of the Cercle. Tickets which admit to a series of lectures and entertainments which are given througout the year will be on sale this. evening at the door. To students they are 50 cents; others $1.00.
