qualified in the class preliminaries.
Announcement was made by the
committee that entries must be made
by 6:00 o'clock Sunday. At that time
there were eight entires, and the final
contest was set for Tuesday evening.
Subsequently two additional men were
allowed to enter; and Tuesday even-
ing, the night set for the contest, it
was announced that two preliminaries
would be held. . These arrangements
necessitated five of the ten men speak-

$50 and a membership in the club.
This year's contest marks the re-es-
tablishment of the events, which were
abandoned six years ago on account
of the excessive expense. of the enter-
tainment connected with them.
SENIORS AND FACULTY MEN
DISCUSS ADVISORY SYYSTE3I
That the senior advisor system has
been a success so far was the opin-
ion of all members present at the
meeting of the advisors held in Tap-
pan hall yesterday afteroon. While
much has been accomplished it was
agreed that there is still a great deal
to be done.
"Advisors should impress upon the
freshmens's mind that being warned
or put on probation is no idle thing."
said Dean J. R. Effinger. Also the
fact that a general education should
be had ,by all who are graduated from
Michigan should be told the first year
students."
That there are three classes of
freshmen was brought out by Prof.
M. P. Tilley. There are students with
too much money, students who do not
know how to study and those with too
much outside work. That the senior
advisor system has benefited all of
these classes was the opinion of Prof.

List of Contestants and Good
Chances of Winning.
SOPHOMORE STOCK BELOW P AR
Entries for the Varsity meet, to be
staged as an interclass struggle ir:
Waterman gymnasium Saturday even-
ing, closed last night, and are now in
the hands of Trainer Farrell and Man-
ager Denison.
The men signing up as having quali-
fid according to the marks set will be
classified according to their year in
the university and the meet will be
conducted as a four cornered affair.
Considerable speculation has been
aroused over the meet since the an-
nouncement of the new form it will
take on this year. Whether the seniors,
juniors or freshmen will win out is a
question that is being freely discussed.
The sophomores are cleft entirely out
of the question owing to their disas-
trous showing of Saturday evening
against the freshmen.
The .juniors seem to have the best
opportunity of winning out for they
have Seward, Carver, Jansen, Bond,
Craig, White, Sargent, Kohler and oth-
ers in. their number. Capt. Haff,
Haimbaugh and Baier will undoubted-
ly have to do the brunt of the work for
the seniors, while the freshmen de-
pend upon Day, Armstrong, H. L.
Smith, C. B. Smith, Monetta, and a few
others. Cole, McNabb, Greene and
Conn may win points for the sopho-
mores.
FORESTER LECTURING IN
HART AND OCEANA COUNTIES.
James H. Pottinger, of the forestry
department is delivering a series of
lectures in Hart and Oceana counties
which will extend over a period of
two weeks. He will speak upon the
use, care, and importance of wood
lots, delivering 1'5 lectures in all.
Since Prof. Filbert Roth's visit two
weeks ago the people of Hart and
Oceana counties have clamored for
more detailed lectures along these
lines, and Mr. Pottinger's visit is the
result.
New York Alumnus Talks to Engineers
Ernest P. Goodrich, '98E, consulting
engineer, of the Borough of Manhat-
tan of New York addressed the Engi-
neering society Tuesday afternoon on
"Engineering of Harbor Construction
as Related to the Course in Civil Engi-
neering at the University." Mr. Good-
rich and his wife were entertained at
a reception given at the home of his
PROPOSED NAVAL
ORK COMMENDED
Prof. Sadler, of Marine Department,
Says Sea T]'raining Would
Show Need of Ships.
2LGIBILITY YET UNDECIDED.
Plans of the navy department for
raining university students onboar
attleships this summer is meetin
vith the approval of faculty members
is well as the students.
"The great majority of student ir
.he west and middle wes have neve,
een a warship of any kind, and t
hem a pwerful navy may not seer
necessary," said Prof. H.C. Sadler
head of the department of marine ar-
chitecture. "Let the men, however
spend some time upon a warship, an
they will soon realize what a nav
means to this country. On their re-
.urn they will be able to dispel certai
erroneous ideas, and help to dissem-
nate an interest in naval affairs tha
cannot be otherwise than beneficial
We shall then, perhaps, have less o
he parsimonious talk of only one bat-
cle ship a year.
"Respect for superior officers is al.
so a good thing to learn, and one tha
will be exceptionally useful to a young
man starting out in life. Perhaps af-
ter the scheme has been in operatio
for some time there will be less o

is so frequently seen, when a stude
ones into a professional office wit
his hands in his pockets, hat on hi
head, and with the greeting of "Say
professor," or "listen here." At least
let us hope so."
Whether other than engineering stu.
lents will be allowed to avail them-
selves of the plan of the navy depart-
.nent for training students aboard bat-
seships during the summer, is no
yet known in Ann Arbor. .
"This is the question which many
men from the other departments as.
me," said Bean Cooley last night. "Bu
I am unable to satisfy them, for the
matter cannot be determined from the
orders and correspondence receive(
here. I have written Col. Marsh upon
this point, and expect to hear from hi
soon."'
PRINCIPALS IN UNION OPERA
GO THi Tl DETAILED REHEARSAI.
Choruses and Orchestra Hold Initial
Assembly; Elaborate Programs
Are Planned.
"Contrarie Mary" was formally in-
troduced yesterday afternoon to the
men who will guide her destinies for
the next month. At a rehearsal of the
principals recently picked to handle
the speaking roles in the 1913 Union
opera, held yesterday afternoon at the
Union, act one of-the show was worked
out in detail. Act two will be taken
up later this week, and the third act
will come up for consideration next
week.
Singing choruses, dancing choruses,
and orchestra met together last night
for the first time. No effort
was made to have the orchestra ac-
company the singers, as the score has
aot yet been completely mastered by
the instrumentalists.
A more elaborate program than was
sver prepared for a Union opera is
planned for this year. Practically all
of the advertising space in the book-
et has been sold, and it is expected
;hat the money received from this
source will not only pay for the print-
ing of the programs, but also for all
of the advertising expenses incurred
for the 1913 show.

J. ENGINEERS WIN
EXTRA LONG GAME
3oph Lit Basketball Team is Beaten
After Holding Boilermakers
to Tie Score.
FINAL COUNT IS 15 TO 23
It took five minutes overtime last
evening for the junior engineers to win
rom the sophomore lits in the fastest
>asketball game of the season. The
anal score was 25 to 23. At the end
>f the allotted time the count stood
21 to 21, so the quintets were forced to
play an extra five minute session.
The engineers started out with- a
rush and outplayed their lighter op-
ponents in the first half, but the
plucky lits came back in the second
period and located the cage for twice
as many counters as the last year
:hamps. The tie was first broken by
Jhapman, but Patterson soon tied it
tgain. With one minute to play, Week
;aged the sphere for the winning tally.
Brush played the star game for the
the winners, the lengthy center locat-
ed the net four times and was the most
langerous man for the lits to guard
Patterson also played a stellar game
at guard. For the lits the the two for-
Yards Stuart and Chapman were th(
:hief performers, while Marsh a
;uard made it a hard proposition for
Thienes to throw baskets.
Good team work was shown by the
engineers during the first half of the
battle and in the five additional min-
utes, but the second period was the
sophomore's round, and the light-
weights unearthed some real system-
atic workings.
The summaries are as follows:
19,1 Eng. 1915 Lits
Thienes........... L.F. ...... Stuari
Weeks............R.F. .... Chapmanr,
Brush..........C.......Davidson
Fletcher .......... L.G. Marsh
Patterson........R.G.......Brown
Final score-1914 engineers, 25;
1915 lits, 23.
Field goals-Brush, 4; Weeks, 3;
Patterson,2; Thienes; Stuart, 5; Chap-
man, 4; Marsh, 1.
Fouls-Weeks, 5; Marsh, 3."
Referee-J. W. Mackey.
Tonight the junior laws and fresh
medics will battle for the right to pla
the junior engineers for the campus
championship Monday night.
ALUMNI PLAN RECOGNITION
FOR MOST PROMINENT GRADS
Secy. Smith Suggests Annual Reward
Mr Michigan Man Who Does '
Most for Mankind.
Each year the Michigan alumni bod-
ies throughout the country will seek
Tut the one member who <has done
the most toward bettering the condi-
tions of mankind and bestow upon him
a substantial reward; provided that
the enthusiasm which greeted the sug-
gestion when it was proposed at the
recent New York alumni dinner can'
be crystalized in some organized way.
Secy. Shirley W. Smith is responsible
for the idea. When he suggested -that
it be carried out he found immediate,
support among the alumni, and a
movement is now on foot to establish
a fund for this purpose.
"The proposition is great," said
William McAndrew, '86, ex-president of
the New York Alumni association. The
thought that every alumnus ofnMichi-
gan, wherever he be-in China, in
Alaska, or in South America, has the
searchlight of his fellows turned on
him, is Mound to stimulate his efforts in
life.''
"The college man loses his real en-'
thusiasm too soon," said Jeremiah W.
Jenks, '78. "He wants to return to
his college the value of its service but
he lacks a coherent scheme.s This
plan seems to supply a splendid
motive."
The officers of the University club of
New York are now working on the
suggestion, and it is believed that
within a. few weeks it will evolve into
more tangible form.
Union Membership Continues to Soar.
Michigan Union membership figures
reached the 2,400 mark yesterday. This 1
Stunts and ragtime will be a fea-
-ure of the concert to be given tomor-
row evening, at 8:15 o'clock in Univer-
sity Hall, by the Varsity Glee and
.andolin clubs. "Bill" Williams, '14E,
will furnish the major portion of the
atunts, and the new "Midnight Sons'
Quartet" will supply the kind of melo-
3y that makes people keep time with
their shoulders.
