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. Lineup Shows Juniors Have Promising 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.

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 that unintentional lack of respect tha- 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.

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.
