PRICE F TANGO'S DEATH IS FAVORED BY CLASSLEADERS Presidents of Lit Department Recom- mend Exclusion of Extreme Dancing From All the Class Parties. SUBJECT WILL BE TALKEI) OVER AT WOfEIN'S MEETING One Faction Favors Lea ing Question Entirely to the Choice of th Individual. Another step onward into the valley of death, was the fate of the tango, on the Michigan campus yesterday. At a meeting of the presidents and chair- men of the social committees of the classes in the literary department, held at the Union, recommendations were adopted calling for the exclusion of the tango, and other forms of extreme 4 dancing, at all parties sponsored by these classes. The following resolution was an- nounced: "We, the representatives of the classes of the literary department, in conference, recommend strongly to the literary classes, that for obvious reas- ons the tango and all forms of ex- treme dancing be excluded from class parties in the future." The recommendation was signed by all the executives and social commit- tee chairmen of the classes in the lit department, and the sentiment of the meeting seemed to be unanimously in favor of tabooing such innovations as the "clutch hold," tango, and the types of dances familiarly designated by the animal-like titles. Occurring as it does in close connec- tion with the action of Union officials in absolutely prohibiting the tango at the weekly membership dances given by that organization, the, the move of, the lit classes comes as a signal blow to radical dancing. Although the rec-1 ommendations will not become bind-; ing until ratified by the meetings of the various classes, or by their respective social committees, it is expected that the moi'al effect of a representative group' of lit classmen expressing them- selves as strongly opposed to the tan-t go, will have the result of eventually ] barring the dance from all class func- tiOn5s... At a meeting of the senior lit classg Wednesday afternoon, the matter of abolishing the tango at class affairs (Continued on page 4)) CLASS RELAYCM E, START TRAINING Tryouts Will be Held in Waterman Gym Under Direction of Coach Douglas or Trainer Farrell NAMES MUST BE IN BY FEB. 25. With the opening of the indoor track season, interest in the interclass series of relay races for the championship of the campus is coming to the front. Each year during the indoor season quartets representing the classes of; the various departments have run off, a series of relays, first for the depart-i mental championship and later for the; championship of the .university at large,and have at the same time afford- ed runners an opportunity to win their numerals. The same plan will be car- ried out this season. % Class track managers who. desire their teams to get away well in the series have little time left in which to pick and train their men. The mana- gers are expected to have their men picked and the names in the hands of Coach Douglas by February 25.

EATING HOUSE IS DAMAGED BY FIRE Brennan's Restaurant Put Out of Bus- iness Temporarily by Small Blaze. EXPECT TO REOPEN TOMORROW. Seventy-five students were temporI arily deprived of their boarding house as the result of a fire which damaged Brennan's restaurant On Liberty street early last evening. While the blaze was slight, the amount of water pour- ed into the building by the zealous fire fighters of the local department, and the smoke, put the kitchen out of com- mission as well as making the base- ment dining room unfit for use. Man- ager Brennan stated, however, that he would reopen tomorrow and would ac- commodate all the regular boarders. The fire started near the furnace in the basement and it is thought hot ashes was the cause. There was no one in the building when the flames were seen. Manager Brennan was at- tending a performance of a local the- ater. He was notified of the fire and arrived in time to superintend the re- moval of the papers from his desk as vell as the orchestra's instruments. Dense smoke which filled th.e base- ment made it almost impossible for the fire department. to locate the blaze. It was not until a draft had been es- tablished through the cellar that the firemen were able to get the lines of hose near the burning boards and box- es. Students did some good work in helping remove the valuables from the restaurant as well as in reassuring the occupants of the fiats above the burn- ing store that there was no danger. Women who live upstairs asked sever- al of the bystanders to stay with them while the fire lasted and this gave the students a chance for near herosm. Manager Brennan places his loss at abut $500, which is covered by insr- ance. The boarders in the basement dining room will be accommodated up stairs pending the renovating of that portion of the building. REPUBLICANS NOMINATE CANDIDATES FOR REGENTS ' _ Victor M. Gore, of Benton Harbor, and Dr. Walter H. Sawyer, of Hills- dale, are the nominees of the repub- lican party for regents of the Univer- sity of Michigan. The candidates w e nominated at the republican state con- vention in Lansing. Victor M. Gore, no minate to suc- ceed Regent John Gr t, ' died a few weeks ago, is a pr om ent lawyer. He is a graduate of the University of Michigan, getting his degree from the law department in 1882. He was a member of the state constitutional convention of 1907. Dr. Walter H. Sawyer has already served one term as regent and was re- nominated to succeed himself for a MICHIGAN SENDS MAN TO CHICAGO Percival Blanshard Is To Represent Michigan at Hamilton Oratorical Contest. SY XCOLLEGES WILL COMPETE Percival Blanshad, '14, has been ap pointed by the oratorical board to rep- resent Michigan in the Hamilton Ora- torical contest at Chicago in April. Minnesota, Wisconsin, Northwestern, Indiana, and Iowa will also be rep- resented in this competition. The Hamilton club of Chicago con- ducted these contests for seven years, but they were abandoned six ye o on account the excessive xpense connected wit them. Mic gan was always repres nted in the ast events, and at once a cepted th invitation to enter when th contest were reestab- lished. Owing to t earl date of the con- test this year, Perc val Blanshard was appointed. I te future, a regular university conkt will determine Mich- igan's representative. The reorganization will be on a more stable basis, and the extravagent en-, tertainment which marked former con- tests has been abandoned. The ora- tors will be entertained at the club, however, and testimonials of $100.00 and $50.00 will be offered to the win- ners. In accepting the invitation of the HamIliton club, Michigan recommend- ed that the provision debarring men with an "A. B." degree, be rescinded. In the opinion of the oratorical board, this rule works a hardship upon Mich- igan, owing to the increasing require- ments'of the professional departments. Foresters Benefit by Suggestion Box. The suggestion box recently install- ed in the forestry department is being used with effectiveness. ATHLETIC RULES TO BE PRINTED Board Meets and Changes Manner of .Awarding All-Fresh Track Insignia. NUMERALS HARDER TO OBTAIN. Important provisions regarding the awarding of insignia to members of the All-Fresh track team were. discussed at a meeting of the board of directors of the athletic association yesterday afternoon, and as a result a decision was reached which probably will les- sen considerably the number of sets of numerals awarded to the young track athletes. Heretofore there have been practi- cally two sets of numerals awarded to members of the freshman team. In sev- eral cases men who won their numer- als in indoor competition would drop out when the team got out of doors. thus allowing others not so fortunate in the indoor meets to have a second try at the coveted insignia and in sev- eral cases these men were successful in the attempt. It was this fact which gave rise to the action of the board of directors. The decision of the board was to the -kffect that hereafter only those men who win firsts in both the indoor and outdoor dual meets will receive numer- als from the hands of the athletic asso- ciation, with the provision that in ex- ceptional cases insignia may be award- ed to a man who has only one first, if a committee composed of Trainer Far- rell Manager Dennison, and possibly others, deems the procedure justifi- . able. This does not affect numerals' awarded by the classes for points won in the fresh-soph contests. A provision was also passed by the board which will in the future allow only the wearing of numeral caps by managers of class teams. Heretofore, the manager of a class team was al- lowed to wear a cap and sweater the same as a member of his team. In- asmuch as a Varsity manager is not allowed a sweater with insignia, sweaters with class insignia will be taken away from class managers. LITS WIN FIRST GAME 'OF HOCKEY Carpenter and Cohen Star n' T'heir' Respective Aggregations; Lack of Team Work Sliowt. ENGINEERS MEET LAWS TODAY. After waiting over a month for weather conditions, the skaters played their first game of hockey yesterday. The lits outpucked the engineers and grabbed the long end of a 7 to 2 score. The game was played upon the Wein- berg rink which is smaller than the regulation pen and so the teams play- ed with only six men e ch. In the first half the lits kept the puck in their opponents territory most of the time and the engineers were frequently saved from having their goal net located by Carpenter's phenom- enal stops. The guardian of the goal played the star game for the boiler- makers throughout the contest. The lits stellar stick wielder was Cohen. At all times the clever freshman had little trouble in guiding the elusive disc through the ranks of the oppon- ents. Throughout the two periods the lack of team play was in evidenc.e, and in- dividual working was relied upon by both aggregations. The second hal started with the engineers taking a great brace, but after caging the rub- ber twice they weakened, and' in the last five minutes of play the lits an- nexed four points to their string. The teams lined up as follows: Lits Engineers Doyle.....,...... R.......Edwards Huntin, Eastman. . R.W. ........Ratz Cohen..........R.W........Carritte Spring...........C. ........Crase Parks, McCloud... Pt. .....-...Hewitt Barnum.........G.......Carpenter Referees-Saier and Horton. The engineers will try to come back strong in the game with the laws at Weinberg's today at 4:15. Tomorrow the lit and science teams will clash. COUNCILMEN MAKE CAREFUL INQUIRY No Students Have as Yet Been Proved Guilty of Participation in J Hop Disturbance COUNCIL MAY MEET ALL DAY, Reports of the four committees of the student council which have inves- tigated many men said to have been implicated in the J Hop fracas were heard by the student body at its spe- cial executive session last evening but no action was-taken. It is hoped that definite information concerning the ring-leaders may be secured today in which case it wlil be reported to the council at an executive meeting to be held this evening at 7:00 o'clock. As the inquiry proceeds, it has been found that the crowd which attempted to force its way into Waterman gym- nasium last Friday night was in- deed motley. Upperclassmen, fresh- men, sophomores, town boys and sev- eral older, seemingly respectable men made up the crowd. Many of these have already testified before the coun- cil's investigating committees. Prom- inent men outside the ranks of the council are assisting the student body and if this cooperation on the part of the students continues, the council hopes to get at the pith of the matter. The four committees will continue their work daily and will report their findings to the council at the evening meetings. This procedure will con- tinue until the trouble is cleared up and the men responsible for the at- tempt to force their way into the gym are found and punished. The coun- cil may hold an all-day session tomor- row. Women Can Apply for Scholarship. The Lucinda Stone scholarship loan fund is now open to upper class wom- en of the university.

Craig Will Give MostI Hs Time to Th~le Quarter; Carver and Baier LookGooed DARK h1ORSES MAY LOOT UP SOO(N From the prospects that present themselves to Trainer Steve *Farrell and Captain "llap" ,a of the track team, lechigtm will have a mile relay quartet this season, and a good one. Trainer and captain are already plan ning to put a fast mile relay team in the field, and, judging from the list of men who are eligible, there seens no reason to doubt that their plans will work out successfully. Captain Biff, of course, will be a member of the mile team. Haff's spe- cialty is the quarter mile and his abil- ity In his line is well known, Jimmie Craig is the other veteran who will un- doubtedly draw a place on the mile quartet. While Craig has particular- ized in the hurdles in other years, he is no stick at the quarter mile. With an injury to one of his knees which may prevent his taking part in hurdle events at least during the indoor sea- son, Craig is planning to devote most of his time to the quarter mile, and in this case it is expected that le will be better than ever. The other men expected to make up the quartet are both novices, so far as Varsity relay work is concerned, but both are men who have experience behind them. Carver and Baer are the men who are expected to make good. Both Trainer Farrell and Cap- tain Haff are much impressed with their ability and it is very likely that they will have no trouble in making their places on the team, unless some dark horse looms up as an unexpected find. Carver did not show much last sea- son, although he ran a litle. Tis year, however, he stepped into the lime light when he won his C. C. C. in the fall cross country races. ile also showed well in the relay held be- tween the halves of the South Dakota football game. Carver runs the half mile but Intends to do the quarter also, and, in the opinion of Trainer Farrell, Carver is about as fast as Captain Haff himself on the indoor track. Baer is an A. M. A. man of last sea- son. This year he is shoning better than ever, and there seems but little doubt of his ability to make good alo with the other three men mentioned. Back Numbers of liniy Wanted.
