PRICE FIVE CENTS VARSITY READY TO CLASH WITH CORNELL STARS Athletes Are Trained1 to Tip Top of Condition in Preparation for Meet T1 omorrow Evening MEN TAKE LIGHT WORKOUT FOR LAST INDOOR PRACTICE. Personnel of Relay Team to Depend on Showing of Men in First Events Trainer Farrel will have his men keyed up to the highest notch of effi- ciency for the clash with Cornell in Waterman gym tomorrow evening. The last indoor practice of the season was held yesterday afternoon, as bar- ring a possible return of old Boreas and his chilling winds, the cinder men will desert the stuffy gym for their Ferry field haunts the first of next week. Seward has been a little out of shape since the Syracuse meet, so has been given a rest from strenuous practice this week. Trainer Farrell has been watching him carefully and has no doubt of his regaining form by Satur- day. Bond was getting away from the marks in good style yesterday and and should figure in the running. Hughes, a last year freshman, will appear in the dash as a member of the Varsity team for the first time. Lapsley, with his leg not entirely healed, has shown enough speed in practice to deserve consideration as a contender in the sprint across the gym floor. Believing that Craig works better in a meet when he has not been put through a hard course of training, Farrell has kept "Jimmy" from the hurdles since Wednesday, and confines him to practicing starts. The high-jumpers,Sargent and White, were also granted a well-earned rest by the trainer, and have spent little time at the gym during the past week. These men aie banked on to win first and second in the leaping event. Kohler and Smith finished their preparation for the clash with the easterners, yesterday, and a~e both'in condition to extend their best efforts The pole-vaulters, Cook and Daskam, are primed to the moment and will nerve themselves to supreme exertions to out-vault Fritz of Cornell. In the middle and long distance rac- es, the Michigan entrants leave noth- ing to be desired in the way of good physical shape. Jansen will probably not run in the hurdles but will be utilized in either the quarter or half mile with the emphasis on the quarter. Haff and Baier will also run in this event with Haff the predicted winner. Carver is in condition to do his best in defending the Maize and Blue against the onslaughts of Jones of Cornell. "Heinie" Haimbaugh, accom- panied by Smith, will run in the mile. Both are in the best of condition to reap a heavy harvest for Michigan in this event. The personnel of the relay team has not yet been made up by Farrel, as he prefers to wait until the night of the meet, and base his choice on the show- ing of his men. Union Members Play Cards Tonight. Union members have the opportuni- ty of attending the regular Friday night informal card party tonight at 7:30.

Director St. John is Pleased With Results Shown at Yesterday's Rehearsal With Orchestra. "Contrarie Mary" will have its first dress rehearsal Sunday afternoon at the Whitney theater. The men taking part will at this time don the frills and feathers of feminine attire, and go through the action of the 1913 Mich- igan Union opera before the freshly painted scenery, which is expected to arrive from Detroit tomorrow. Fol- lowing the afternoon's rehearsal, the men in the production will adjourn to the Union, where they will be the guests of the management at dinner. Both acts of the opera were re- hearsed at the Union last evening. The orchestra was used for the first time in connection with the rest of the per- formance, and the results obtained were gratifying to Director St. John. Practically all of yesterday after- noon was occupied in drilling the cast in its lines, and teaching special fig- ures to feature groups in the choruses. The "Wooden Leg" chorus went through its gyrations with a gusto that nearly wrecked the canvas on the Un- ion dance floor and the other stunts were enacted with equal vim. Webster Society to Meet This Evening. The Webster society will hold its weekly meeting tonight in its rooms in the law building at 7:45 o'clock. An especially large program has been ar- ranged. BALL PROTEGES GO OUTSIDE FOR STIFFPRCTICE Varsity Baseball Squad Again Comes Out of Winter Quarters and Plays Hard Ten Inning Contest. COACH KEEPS CANDIDATES KEYED UP TO HIGH PITCH. No Definite Selections are Made to Fill Vacancies For Annual Trip South. Ten innings of real baseball was the program for the Varsity baseball squad on its second day out of doors. The men who hope to make the nine that will invade Dixie during the spring vacation reported early at south Fer- ry field, and were given a stiff after- noon's drill. No score was kept of the game be- tween two chosen nines, but from the pep that Coach Rickey instilled into his proteges and the speed he kept them keyed up to, it may be safely judged that the men got a great deal of benefit from the work. As yet Rickey has not chosen men for the vacant positions left open by the graduation of last year's players. Pontius and Stewart were given a drill at first base, Hughitt at third, Duncan- son and McQueen at second and How- ard in the outfield, during a portion of yesterday's practice. As it is probable that third and first will be the only hard positions to fill, Rickey is devot- ing a good deal of time watching the men perform at these stations. Sayers and Metcalf did the mound duty yesterday, and as it is probable that one of these two men will be tak- en on the southern trip as the fourth pitcher their work was watched with interest. Rickey will chase his men out of doors every day the weather will per- mit it, and it is probable that a daily battle will be staged on south Ferry field, until the regular diamond is put in shape to use. B. V. 1)'S WILL DANCE TONIGHT. Annual Formal Bal to Include Many Near Features. Barristers, Vulcans and Druids will combine in staging their yearly formal ball at the Union tonight. Unusual enthusiasm has been put into the prep- aration by the management an the decorations, arranged, are elegant and elaborate. Music for the evening will be fur- nished by the Wright Saxophone Trio of Columbus. Stunts and favors will be the order of the evening, and each of the different societies will vie with the others in the endeavor to introduce the most effective feature. Programs, spe- cially designed by Harold B. Abbot, will be the eloquent reminders of the order of dances. The honorary facul- ty members of the three organizations will be the chaperones of the affair. PROF. TURNER STATES THAT HONOR SYSTEM IS SUCCESS. Speaking to his class in English history yesterday morning, Prof. E. R. Turner said that the honor system in examinations as adopted by his class, had proven, in his opinion, a decided success. He made the statement that he thought that the great majority of stu- dents had taken the examinations in better spirit than previously. Prof. Turner admitted that a partial failure of the scheme came when a part of the class declined to enforce the system. Percival Time V.

Goodenow, '13, is Given Second Honors and W. C. Mullendore,'14, Honorable Mention. Percival V. Blanshard, '14, won the University Oratorical contest last night by a unanimous decision, which is the first time in the 23 years these contests have been held that the opinion of the judges has been united. With the honor of first place in the university contest goes the honor of representing the University of Michi- gan in the Northern Oratorical League, a Kauffman testimonial of $100.00, and the Chicago alumni medal. Blanshard will deliver his oration, "Christianity and the Social Crisis," at the league contest which is to be held this year at Oberlin, Ohio, on May 2. H. E. Goodenow, '13, won second honors and a Kauffman testimonial of $50.00 with his oration "Unrealized Self." He will go to Oberlin as alter- nate. W. C. Mullendore, '14, who spoke on "The Degredation of Our National Honor" was given honorable mention by the judges, which is an unusual recognition. The five contestants last night were selected from 22 competi- tors in the class contests held last month. U.S. Judge Arthur J. Tuttle, '92-'95L, presided, and paid a tribute to the work of Prof. Trueblood in pro- ducing Michigan's winning debat- ers and orators in the 30 years he has been connected with the university. The judges were Asst. Dean W. H. Butts, of the engineering department; Professors J. L. Markley, J. S. Reeves, and W. H. Henderson, of the literary department; and Supt. H. M. Slauson of the high school. DISCUSS FACULTY SUPERVISION. Senior Engineers Listen to Talks on Increasing Control. At the senior engineer dinner held last evening at the Union, "Cam" Trib- le, '13, suggested that the engineers follow the example of the lits in peti- tioning the University Senate for per- mission to hold an out of town ban- quet. He also spoke of the increasing faculty supervision over all campus activities and the subsequent loss of individualism among students. One hundred and twenty-six attend- ed the dinner. L. C. Paddock acted as toastmaster. Prof. H. C. Anderson, of the mechanical engineering depart- ment, the faculty guest, agreed that faculty control was becoming too strict. his only mention of the out of town banquet idea was a complimen- tary allusion to the banquet held in Toledo last year. The other speakers of the evening were Frank Gibbs, '13E, and Walter Staebler, '13. Economics Class Will Hear Missourian Mr. Walter W. Stewart, instructor of political economy at the University of Missouri, will speak before the course in political economy 2, on the "History of the National Banking System" in the large lecture room of the engineer- ing building, this afternoon at 2:00 o'clock. This is the first of a series of three lectures to be delivered by Mr. Stewart on banking reform. The lectures are open to the public. PLAN ORGANIZATION OF ALUMNI. Wilfred Shaw is Elected Secretary of New College Association. A movement is on foot among the alumni bodies of the various colleges and universities to have the secretaries of the different associations meet at least once a year for the purpose of dis- cussing the many problems which they have to meet. H. S. Warwick, secretary of the Ohio State associations, originated the scheme and issued the call for the first meeting at Columbus, Ohio. Less than half of the universities which ap- peared to be keenly interested in the matter sent representatives. Never- theless, a temporary organization was formed and officers were elected. Wil- fred B. Shaw, secretary of Michigan's alumni association was made secre- tary. The next meeting has not yet been arranged. NOTED, SOCIALIST TO LECTURE TODAY Mrs. Carrie WV.

Last year the lines extended for over a block, just before the ticket window at the Whitney opened.
