PRICE FIVE CENT I I 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.

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 When the official sanction of Michi- gan Interscholastic was withdrawn af- ter the meet of 1911, the Michigan schoolmasters decided to conduct a meet of their own.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; c t t t4 T 2 a a b a 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 LOUIS D. DAVID, '14L, LEAVES C THIS MOIRNING FOR CHICAGOc CHICAGO GRADS FAVOR RETURN TO CONFERENCE 553 Western Alumni at 25th Annual Banquet Pass Resolutions Speci- fying That No Clauses Be Attached. 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 evening came when the photograph of president-Emeritus James B. Angell The annual banquet of the School- masters' club will be held tonight at 5:15 o'clock in McMillan hall. Tickets may be secured for 75 cents from the following men of the entertainment committee: Pres. M. E. Valentine, and Messrs. Martin, E. G. Cole, and F. A. Middlebush. Dean John R. Effinger will be the principal speaker, his subject being, "Ideals in Education". Other speech- es will be: "The Educational Club and its Values", Floyd Armstrong, '13; "The Educational Club," an ex- member's Point of View, C. D. Daw- son; and "The 20th Century School Man", Prof. C. 0. Davis. Short talks will also be given by several superintendents among them being: D. C. WarrinerrofSagniaw, W. S. Lewis of Port Huron, "A. N. Cody, Flint; A. P. Arbaugh, Ypsilanti; and other educators. Several men will be called on for short speeches. Carleton E. Ehle, '13, will act as toastmaster. YOST TO DIRECT SPRING TRAINING Coach Will Be Present For Time in History of Early Practice. First 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 ANNUAL SIGHTSEEING TRIP. Two Separate Parties of Boilermakers Leave to Visit Factories Throughout East. 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 (Continued on page 4).

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.
