COACH RICKEY
PICKS MEN FOR
VARSITYSQA
Nineteen Diamond Artists are Chosen
of Which Number, Fourteen or
Fifteen Will Take Southern
Trip.
TEAM LEAVES TONIGHT AT
7:28 FOR TRIP TO DIXIE
List of Men to Travel Southward Will
be Made Public
Today.
For the first time in many years
of Michigan baseball training a real
Varsity squad has been picked by
Coach Branch Rickey of the Wolver-
ine nine. Nineteen men have been
listed on the first team roster, which
means that the 1913 Varsity nine will
be chosen from this list of players.
The men picked for the squad are
Captain Bell, Howard, Corey, Sheehy,
Black, Saier, Baer, Pontius, Duncan-
son, Lavans, McQueen, Hughitt, Rog-
ers, Hippler, Webber, Sisler, Bari-
beau, Quaintance, and Metcalf.
Though this list of men has been
designated as the first team squad
it is not likely that more than four-
teen or fifteen players will be taken
on 'Michigan's spring training trip.
It is .highly probable, however, that
there will be no more men on the Dixie
vasion whose names do not appear on
the first team squad.
According to the present plans the
team will leave for Lexington, Ky., to-
night over the Ann Arbor road. The
names of the men chosen for the trip
will be made public today and the s
men ordered to report at the Ann Ar-
bor depot at 7:28.
Weather prevented the Varsity can-
didates from holding outdoor prac-
tice yesterday, and some of the men
confined their efforts to work in the
cage. It is thought, however, that1
the men will not be handicapped by
their lack of outdoor practice during,
the southern trip owing to the fact1
that they have made excellent use of
the few days outdoor practice thes
weather man kindly alloted to them.

Fate
Schoolmasters to Decide
of Annual Track Meet
This Afternoon.
BOIS BLANC MEET A FAILURE.
Whether or not the Michigan Inter-
scholastic athletic association will
hold an official interscholastic track
meet will probably be decided at a
meeting of that association to be held
this afternoon in the high school au-
ditorium. At the same time it will
probably be decided whether or not
the annual meet will be awarded to
the University of Michigan.
When the official sanction of Michi-
gan Interscholastic was withdrawn af-
ter the meet of 1911, the Michigan
schoolmasters decided to conduct a
meet of their own. Such a meet was
staged at Bois Blanc park last spring,
and even its most ardent supporters
were compelled to admit that it was
a failure, according to those who are
in close touch with the association.
Michigan stands ready to hold an
interscholastic meet this season, and
would, of course, like the sanction of
the Michigan Interscholastic athletic
association. If sanction is given at
the meeting today, Michigan will ex-
ert every effort to make the meet one
of the best ever held on Ferry Field.
If the sanction is denied, it is possiblei
that Michigan may hold an independ-
ent interscholastic. The exact deter-
mination on the course Michigan will;

raising of a curtain, the junior wom-
en offered as their annual entertain-
ment to the senior women last even-
ing the plays, "Realm of Dreams" and
"Daily Life." The former, a pretty
presentation of olden days of chivalry
wherein an unknown lover wins a
princess, the latter an uproarious bur-
lesque on the publishing of the official
university organ, allows the class of
1914 to claim the distinction of pre-
senting the best junior plays yet pro-
duced.
The first play tells how an unknown
suitor presents his gift of love to the
princess after his superiors have of-
fered material presents to her high-
ness. This offer is a new gift to the
princess and she accepts because of
its novelty. For a long time she has
wished to be a country girl and as
the unknown prince wins her heart
she falls asleep, dreaming that she is
a peasant maid. In this character she
again meets her prince and realizes
that as a country girl she cannot mar-
ry him. Her dream finally ends, as
does her hallucination, and she is at
liberty to marry her love.
Isabel Riser as Aradus, the unknown
suitor for the hand of Moira,. seemed
quite at home in her characterization
of a real man, while Irene Bigalke as
the maid in waiting to the princess
created much merriment by her ever
ready advice to her mistress. Marie
Root made the best of a difficult part
as the Princess Moira. Caroline Dow as
a burly king becomes a past master
at "bawling out" the princess for the
many weaknesses that he seems adept'
at finding. The three announced suit-
ors, Margaret Irving, Alta Welch, and
Ilda Jenning made striking masculine
appearances as tall knights.
The May Day chorus does a blithe-
some jog during the progress of the
play. Aradus and Moira sing "Forev-
er," a charming duet, at the close of
the second act.
The second play is a screaming farce
showing how The Michigan Daily is
run or how the women think that it
ought to be operated. Delia Marks as
the editor, Margaret Eaton as the suf-
ragette and Madeline McVoy as Eger-
ton Edwin Montmorency served course
after course of laughs in the puns and
jokes on the seniors who were in the
audience.
The specialties of the second play
created the greatest sensation, "Who's
That," sung by the editor and chorus
was heartily encored. "Ain't it Great"
by Montmorency and chorus received
several rounds of approval. "The Suf-
ragette," sung by Margaret Eaton and
chorus was the final "knock."
The plays will be repeated tonight
at 7:30 o'clock in Sarah Caswell An-
gell hall at the reception in honor of
the Schoolmasters' club and Collegi-
Fifty students, working under the
direction of Prof. C. T. Johnston, and
a group of ten men from Grand Ha-
ven, spent all yesterday in dragging
the river and patrolling the banks in a
vain attempt to locate the missing
bodies of the victims of Sunday's
drownings. The steady downpour did
not affect the work, but the darkness
forced the searchers to postpone their
efforts until today.
The river was thoroughly searched
from the Barton dam to the old Argo
dam near the boat house, and in the
afternoon a part of the men worked
below the latter place. The draggers
have been using boats and one canoe,
but three more boats are expected to
arrive from Whitmore lake this morn-
ing. Several others have aided in the
hunt with canoes, but the swiftness
of the current makes grappling a peri-
lous task in the frail craft.1
The search will begin again this'
morning at 8':00 o'clock. The rivert
between the old dam and the Argo
embankment will be dragged a second<
time, and then the lower part will bek
searched. The Grand Haven students,c
believing that the bodies have been t
carried past the Argo dam will com-i
mence the hunt at the island, whileg
the rest of the students, under the di-
rection of Prof. Johnston, will workX
farther up. Pike poles will be useda
instead of grappling irons, as the cur-e
rent has proved too strong for the
efficient use of the hooks.f
A patrol has also been organizeds
to examine the banks of the river fromc
the Argo dam to Geddes. The author-a
ities in charge of the power houset
have agreed to shut off the water for,
three hours this morning to enablet
the searchers to explore the rivera
more thoroughly than could be donen
when the water is high.
Miss Jane Hicks, '15, the only sur-b
vivor -of the terrible tragedy, left .forr
her home in Detroit late Mondayv
morning. While she has not fully re-A
covered from the effects of her awfulC
experience, in a letter sent to her
roommate she stated that she arrivedz
safely at her home, and was feeling
much better. She will not resume herp
work at the university until after thea
spring vacation. J

Banquet Pass Resolutions Speci-

VARSITY GLEE AND MANDOLIN
CLUBS BIG HIT AT GATHERING
Pres. Hutchins and Deans Effinger,
Vaughan and Guthe, Present
at Meeting.
Chicago alumni of the university, at
the largest assemblage of Michigan
graduates ever held in hi ago, went
on record Tuesday night at their 25th
annual banquet which was held at the
Hotel La Salle as being in favor of
Michigan's return to the Conference,
and further specified that no clauses
be attached to the resolution.
President-elect Frank Graves of the
organization introduced the resolution,
immediately following a stirring talk
by John D. Hibberd, alumni member
of the board in control of athletics,
who explained the reasons for the re-
cent action of the board in voting to
return to the Conference.
When interviewed last night Dean
Karl E. Guthe, who was present at the
banquet, said, "Mr. Graves' resolution
favoring a return to the Western Con-
ference went through by a very decid-
ed majority of the 553 alumni, who at-
tended the banquet. The opposition,
which was slight, tried to introduce
an amendment, but Judge Cutting, the
presiding officer, refused to accept the
amendment as not being relevant to
the resolution."
The Varsity glee and mandolin
clubs, guests of the Chicago alumni,
scored a triumph which, if it is any in-
dication of the success of the western
trip just begun, promises a new rep-
utation for the university musical or-
ganizations.
President H. B. Hutchins was the
principal speaker of the evening and
at times the enthusiasm of the gath-
ering assumed the proportions of a
varsity mass meeting and the cheers
for old Michigan were audible in the
street 19 floors below. "The University
of Michigan as a national, rather than
a state institution" was the keynote of
the president's speech. He gave a
brief history of opportunities lost for
the university as regards land grants
and told of the bright prospects for a
new science building.
One of the features of the evening
between the numerous enthusiastically
received numbers of the musical clubs,
was moving picture portrayals of
Mihigan athletes in action at the
Olympic games at Stockholm. Varsity
football heroes were also recalled by
means of the stereoptican.
Among the members of the faculty
present were Deans Victor C. Vaugh-
an,JohnR.Effinger, and Karl E. Guthe.'
John D. Hibberd, '87E, told some sto-
ries of'early days in Ann Arbor. Judge
Charles S. Cutting, of the probate
court, acted as toastmaster and Dr.
Robert Simpson Woodward, president
of the Carnegie Institution of Wash-
ington, was among the speakers. The<
meeting was opened with an address;
of welcome by William D. McKenzie,c
'96, president of the Chicago alumnic
body, and then all present joined in
singing the "Yellow and the Blue" be-
fore President Hutchins was called on,
to speak. The real outburst of the1

YOST TO DIRECT

TO
BEGIN ON APRIL
15.
With Coach Fielding H. Yost present
for the first time since the inaugura-
tion of spring football training at
Michigan, candidates for the 1913 Var-
sity football team will commence the
annual spring work April 15. The
spring training will continue for a pe-
riod of two weeks, and Coach Yost,
the tutor of Wolverine gridiron war-
riors, will probably be present for ten
days or more during the fortnight.
"I would be pleased to have spring
training begin on April 15, immedi-
ately after spring vacation," says
Coach Yost in a letter. "I shall be in
Ann Arbor at that time, prepared to
remain ten days 'or more to help get
the work. thoroughly started, get a
line on the men, and help them in ev-
ery way possible for their work next
year."
Director Bartelme - of the athletic
association has been in communication
with the coach, and as the date is en-
tirely satisfactory to Michigan's ath-
letic authorities, a call will be issued
for the 1913 candidates to (report on
Ferry field on April 15. It is expected
that the work will embrace the fea-
tures that have heretofore marked
spring training, but it is possible that
Coach Yost will have some new ideas
to introduce.
MANY ENGINEERS DEPART ON

Two separate inspection parties
composed of mechanical and electrical
engineering students, will leave today
and tomorrow on their annual sight-
seeing trip through the east. The me-
chanical engineering party, composed
of 27 students, and supervised by Pro-
fessors S. J. Zowski and H. R. Lloyd,
will leave tonight for Detroit, from
where they will go to Cleveland by
boat. From there the trip will be
continued on through Pittsburgh,
Washington, Philadelphia, New York,
Changes in the rules governing eli-
gibility to participate in all campus
activities were made by the universi-
ty senate recently. All committees on
eligibility have been merged intosone
sub-committee of the committee
on non-athletic organizations,
which has jurisdiction over all
student organizations and the man-
. agement of their affairs.
Activities of various types will be
supervised directly by the appropriate
sub-committees, but the question of
eligibility to participate in any non-
athletic activity will be under the im-
mediate charge of the sub-committee
on eligibility. The rules' apply to ev-
ery non-athletic activity and to all
students in every department of the
university.
Aside from this change the rules are
practically the same as the ones which
have existed for several years.
The senate, however, thought
that they should be stated
more explicitly and so they
have been re-written. Hereafter, in
general, a grade of D in the literary
department or of C in the law de-
partment will be considered as a con-
dition.
The new rules which will not go in-
to effect until the beginning of next
year are as follows:
I. Public Activities.* Public activi-
ties include: (1) Participation in any
oratorical or debating contest, or any
dramatic or musical exhibition, (2)
Service on student publications, (3)
Holding a class or university office,
(4) Official connection with any of the
so-called college functions, such as
the Soph Prom, Women's Banquet, and
similar activities. The list is not in-
tended to be exhaustive, but merely to
indicate the character and scope of the

"I shall recommend Michigan high-
ly to the Spanish-American students
who are contemplating a course of
study in the United States," said Prof.
Jose M. Rua of theUniversity of Bu-
enos Aires. "I have been visiting
many classes in almost every depart-
ment and cannot help but feel that
this is a splendid institution both in
spirit and system."
Dr. Rua is professor of biology, and
is taking an extensive trip in this
country, making a thorough investi-
gation of the leading educational insti-
tutions, to ascertain the most advan-
tageous university for the South
American students.
When asked what he considered the
essential thing for foreign students in
this country, Dr. Rua said, "I consider
the best thing will be to -see the real
insight of American college life and
try to learn the American point of
view, and at the same time make a
comparative study with our own."
Speaking of the Spanish-American
students in this country, Dr. Rua said,
"They ought to study more of the po-
litical, social and moral problems of
America so that when they go back
they will be better prepared to solve
their own problems. Most of our stu-
