F. B. GILBRETH TO SPEAK HERE.
Will Discuss Methods Employed in
Efficiency Tests.
Mr. Frank B. Gilbreth, one of the
foremost pioneers in the study of the
efficiency of corporations and men in
the country, will lecture here during
the week under the auspices of the
mechanical engineering department.
Mr. Gilbreth will deliver the same
lecture that he delivered in Chicago
last week before the scientific manu-
facturing conference of, the Western
Economic society, in which he will ex-
plain how the motion picture machine
is more accurate than the stop watch
in investigating the efficiency of the
movement problem.
The time of the lecture can not be
announced because Mr. Gilbreth does
not yet know exactly when he will
pass through the city.

In announcing the selection of the
first two basketball fives, which in the
opinion of The Michigan Daily sport
staff embraces the 10 men whose in-
dividual play has in its quality stood
out from the play of their team-mates,
full realization is acknowledged that
this choice may not be unanimous.
Some not represented -in this selec-
tion might have won places had their'
teams not dropped from the competi-
tion in the first game.
A wealth of forward material was
disclosed in the series, making a
choice of only four men for the all-
star notice, a difficulttask. Stuart
and Corey surpassed all other for-
wards in accuracy of basket tossing,
seldom missing a fair throw, and cag-
ing many under close covering. Weeks
started out the season with a burst of
speed that bid fair to place him on the
first five, but lost the choice because
of slowing up in the later games of
the season. Spring although partici-
pating in but one match, demonstrated
enough ability to be picked for the
second quintet. Thienes deserves hon-
orable mention.
Easily downing all opposition from
rival centers, Brush beyond doubt is
the logical man for the pivot position.
The only center in the series that ap-
proached him in class was Warner
who was picked on the showing made
in his only game.
The four guards given mention are
on a par when ability to interfere with
the making of baskets is considered
but the scoring prowess of Paterson
and Marsh makes them of particular
value to a team. Tower and Fletcher
are mentioned for their guarding work
alone.
Basketball during the past interclass
series is said to have aroused enough
general interest to support a Varsity
team, meeting with representative fiv-
es from other universities. If inter-
collegiate relations should be resum-
ed either of the two selected teams
would ably uphold the honor of the
university in clashes with outside in-
stitutions.

Completed.
Returning from their 5,000 mile trip
to the Pacific coast, the University of
Michigan Glee and Mandolin clubs will
stop over in Madison, Wis., April 15,
for a joint concert with the musical
clubs of the University of Wisconsin.
The affair will be the first combined
appearance of clubs representing the
two institutions in five years.
The Madison concert will be given in
Latlirop hall, a university building
witi ia seating capacity of 600. When
the Wisconsin and Michigan clubs
played together the last time, in 1908,
the concert took place in Milwaukee.
According to information received
from Madison by the local manage-
ment, the idea of a joint concert has
met with favorable comment at Wis-
consin and it is expected that a capac-
ity audience will welcome the Wolver-
ine musicians.
During the day in the Badger capi-
tol, the members of the Michigan mu-
sical clubs will be entertained at fra-
ternity houses. The return to Ann Ar-
bor will be made the next day.
Arrangements for the long west-
ern trip have been practically com-
pleted by Manager Malcolm McCor-
mick. Advertising matter has been
forwarded to all the 12 towns where
stops will be made, and reports from
the west indicate that the Michigan
men will play before large crowds at
every appearance.

TO BUILD ON RIGHT
OF WAY.
Permission to build a spur track
from the Michigan Central railroad
near School Girl's Glen to the cat hole,
south of Washington street, has been
asked of the city council by the board
of regents and the St. Joseph sanita-
rium. The petition was referred Tues-
day night to the street railway and
sewer committees.
The new track is proposed to serve
the new university power house, the
new store house and the proposed
power house of the sanitarium, whick
is to be located east of observatory
hill overlooking the Michigan Central
tracks. The petition asks for the
building of a new sewer from the cat
hole across Huron street to Glen av-
enue and Catherine street
The proposed siding is to start from
the Michigan Central tracks just west
of the first bridge over the Huron iiv-
er east of Ann Arbor. Storage tracks
are contemplated for loaded and emp-
ty cars on and alongside the Michigan
Central right-of-way, from which sid-
ing one spar track will extend.
To construct the tracks it will be
necessary to vacate the road now
known as School Girl's Glen, for a
