BASEBALL NINE TO PLAY IN LEXINGTON MADDENED MOB MAKES IN RUNNING ROUND MAKE TRAINS. MELEEt TO on the east-bound track, a train for the west had the nerve to pull in on the further side. "Oh my goodness, how in the world will I ever reach that train with all my baggage. I wish I had left my heavy dress at the house" wails one poor co-ed. "I am going to vote for woman's suffrage now" pipes another. The crowd tried Trunks and suitcases, umbrella, and raincoats, taxis and cabs, trains and smoke, some rain and less sun- shine greeted the gaze of homeward to pass through the near east train to bound students at the Michigan Cen- reach 'the Chicago bound flier. After, WOMEN'S RECEPTION RAISES RELIEF FUND TO $500.00 Dr. James B. Angell and President Harry B. Hutchins were the guests of honor at the reception tendered the Schoolmasters' club and Collegiate Alumnae *in Barbour gymnasium Thursday night by the university women. The toasts prepared for the cancelled banquet were not given as the committee desired to make the af- fair as informal as possible. The ticket sale for the reception raised the relief fund to the pledged $500. BOOKS FOR 1914' OPERA UE MAY I Five Manuscripts Hae Already Been Submitted and lMany Others. Are Expected. Students Who Responded to. lelp Kept Busy Entire i)ragglng Rive in Relay Shifts. Call For Day SEARCH FOR BODIES STILL UNSUCCESSFUL No rust will be allowed to accum- ulate op1 the shower faucets in the Ferry field club house during the spring recess, as Trainer Farrell will keep the Varsity and fresh relay hopes hustling all week, in an effort to send three. winning quartets into the field of eastern co petition on the occasion of the Pennsylvania classic. * Some notes of despondency are evi- dent in the tones of "Steve" when he reviews the treatment that he and his track team have received at the hands of the weather czar. The business of getting his men into condition on the out -door track has progressed at a crawl gait, the men being forced to eke out brief moments of practice between showers of rain. Because of the piresent backward shape of the relay candidates the trainer consid- ers it imperative that every day from now on be utilized, and has requested all w th ambitions for relay places to remain in Ann Arbor. Despite all set backs, that satisfied smile still continues to illumine the countenance of the veteran trainer when the prospects of a mile relay victory are brought to his attention. Haff, Craig, Baier, and Plummer, who are the men mentioned most frequent- ly in connection with the makeup of this squad, are all intending to stay over for the vacation practice. In ad- dition there are several other aspic- ants who will lend their bit' to the creation of a little competition for the final berths. Practically the same situation ex- ists in the two mile event as in the mile, with the four men that seem most certain of being in the final 4hoice, staying to reap the advantage of the week's training. These four men of proved prowess in the half nmle run are Haimbaugh, Carver,, Brown and Jansen. It will be a sur- prise to some, to learn that Smith, the miler will also last himself among the candidates for the two nile team and will stay over. Although a few of the freshmen re- lay runners failed to see the necessi- ty for staying, the outlook is not so dark that it lacks its redeeming fea- lures as there will be four or five of the verdants for the trainer to work with that have shown ability in the 440 sprint. C. B. Smith, Catlett, Darn- al and Gorare. will not desert the Fer- ry field cinders. MRS. LADDEY OF STUTTGART, GERMANY, TO TALK HERE. Mrs. Clara S. Laddey, of Stuttgart, Germany, will speak this evening al 7:30 o'clock in the Ann Arbor high school auditorium on "Die Bewegung im Lichte der Dichtung." Mrs. Laddey is one of the most bril- liant woman speakers in the country, and large audiences have greeted he; everywhere. It is expected that all students who understand German will attend.' Prof. John W. Scholl, of the German faculty, will preside at the lecture which will be free to the public. BRIDGE PLAYERS CONTRACT CASE OF "LES PIEDS FROIDS" Recent Floods Will Not Opening Game With U. Kentucky. Prevent of BARIBEAU WILL DO SLAB DUTY. ' .y Dispatches received from the Mich- igan baseball team at Cincinnati en route for Lexington, state that the roadbeds are in passable shape, so that Rickey's pupils will reach their destination in time to play the sched- uled contest with the University of Kentucky, this afternoon. This allays the fears of the local athletic author- ities who were not able to predict the effect that the recent floods would have on the route mapped out for the southern trip. While it is not known definitely who will be on the mound for the Wolverines in their opening game, and probably Rickey himself will not de- cide finally until on the field where he can judge the conditions more ac- curately, it would seem reasonable to select Baribeau as the man on whom the choice will fall. Sisler will be out in the right garden if not selected for box duty as his presence is needed in the batting order. Rogers will of course be on the receiving end. McQueen will probably hold down the first bag, as Pontius is slightly ill, and will not be used in the first gam- es. Duncanson will be at his old stand at second and Lavans will be at home in the shortstop's locality. The remaining infield job will probably be delegated to Baker, as he is not only adept in covering the third sack, but is strong with the stick. In the outfield only one position is definitely assigned, and that is center field to Capt. Bell. The choice for the two other fielders will probably be made from Corey Sisler, and Sheehy. DRINK MAUSOLEUM TO FLOW Campus thirst will be alleviated after vacation by turning on the wat- er in the 1911 class memorial drink- ing fountain near the library. After standing since last summer with not a drop of water, as a memorial to thirs- ty mortals, cobwebs are being cleared away, and the pipes are being laid connecting the drink mausoleum with the main system. Supt. James H. Marks stated yester- day that water will flow from the fountain soon after vacation. Connec- tions were not made sooner on ac- count of the impracticability of using' the, watering station during the win- ter. NEWBERRY HALL TEA ROOM IS POPULAR WITH VISITORS. Newberry hall this week has turned1 its tea room into a restaurant to ac- commodate the influx .of visitors1 brought here by the meetings of the Schoolmasters' club. About 100 extrai guests have been served at the noon lunches and at dinner. Special ban-, quet tables were placed in the parlors to increase the seating capacity. The a la carte service proved so1 popular that the rooms were kepti open an additional hour and a halfi from 5:00 o'clock until 6:30 o'clock. A candy sale also was held in the; corridor every day for the women's relief fund, over $10 being realized. The room will reopen after the spring recess on the old schedule, serving small order lunches from noon. until 1:00 o'clock and from 3:00 until 5:00 o'clock in the afternoon. tral yesterday afternoon. Two hours before the trains were due to leave, slim female forms could be seen be- tween the tiers of trunks seeking in vain the elusive baggage-master, who with a rose in his button-hole and a scowl behind his black cigar, was dodging all humanity. With the arrival of the train an aw- ful scramble for the cars was made. Suit cases were hurled onto the plat- forms of the coaches, followed by a small wad of skirt and a spring bon- net. Men did the 100 yard dash up the plank walk in order to get that seat that they saw vacant in the twelfth coach forward. This mad rush for shelter was not for the means of pro- curing a mere 2x4 space in which to rest in comfort, but to put the male of the species in a way to be of service to the ladies and hence increase the social circulation upon their return to the university. While this melee was in progress 16 people have crowded into the nar- row passage way a porter declared that it was impossible to get through there. Seventeen different kind of scowls were counted upon the countenances of these repulsed voyagers. At this time the load of human freight going toward Boston pulled out and a scam- per for the quickest route to the Windy City was inaugurated. Each component of the mob took just two and one half steps toward this second train, for it was swiftly passing from Ann Arbor territory. Two athletes managed to board, the "ground eater" but the bulk of stu- dents had to "stick." Last reports confirm the fact that there are only five trunks left at the depot waiting to be sent after their flurried owners.. A heavy sigh and the shifting of the station agent's cud proclaim that another exodus of va- cationists has been faithfully handled. WILL GIVE OUT TEST LYRICS.I DECLARES HIGH SCHOOLS MUST BE DEMOCRATIC Luther Wright Tells Schoolmasters' Club That They Should Come More Closely Into Touch With the Problems of Life. "The schools of the future must be more democratic," said Luther - L: Wright, superintendent of public in- struction before the general meeting of the Schoolmasters' club in Univer- sity Hall yesterday. "They must come more closely into touch with the prob- lems of life. From the point of view of the business man and the citizen the function of the high school is three fold; first, to give the pupil a train- ing that will aid him in making a liv- ifig; second, to give culture that he may enjoy living; third, to so train his intelligence that he shall be a good citizen. "I believe that the present high school needs readjustment; it should know from the beginning to what use its product is to be put. What we call a general education is not of great practical use nowadays. The idea of teaching a little bit of everything to CLASSHEADS PLAN UNIFORM HONORSYSTEM Presidents Will Work Out Composite Scheme From Those of Other Schools; Idea Receives Support of Several Classes. Presidents of the variops, classes on the campus are now planning an hon- or system for use in examinations, which they intend shall be a compos- ite of all the best systems now in use in other univ.ersities, and, when com- pleted, they will present the plan for the consideration of their classes. At their meeting at the Michigan Union recently, Ralph M. Snyder, reporting for the drafting committee, explained the method which the com- mittee has followed in outlining their plan, and several minor details were discussed at some length, such as a compulsory "tattling clause," which was voted down. No definite plan will be completed and presented by the committee until after the spring vaca- tion. The committee has applied for and received complete details of honor sys- tems now in use in the Carnegie In- stitute in Pittsburg, Yale, and Prince- ton, and has also been in touch with former students of . Leland Stanford and other universities where the scheme is used. The plan is to give Michigan the benefit of the experience these other institutions have had, and evolve as near an ideal plan as it is possible to work out. The committee Books for the 1914 Michigan Union opera are due on May 1. Five books have already been handed in, and it is definitely known that other students are working on manuscripts. Those which have been received so far have not been examined and will not be looked over until after the time for submission, when all books will be.in. A number of the men who entered the competition this year are known ton be working on the 1914 show. The successful .writer will be chosen by a committee consisting of faculty and students, the faculty representatives being Professors F. N. Scott, A. A. Stanley and L. A. Strauss. Immediately after spring vacation test lyrics, written by Robert Beck, '13L, author of "Contrarie Mary," will be given out to tho'se who are plan- ning to write music for the 1914 opera. They will cover various styles of mu- sic and the committee will thus be able to get a line on the men who are capable cf undertaking the writing. As soon after May 1 as possible the successful author of the book will be announced and at the same time the men who are to write the music will be selected. This will allow prac- tically a month before summer vaca- tion, during which the music writers can start their work, and as usual they will spend the summer in per- fecting it., The general chairman for next year's opera will be announced shortly after President Kemp returns from his trip with the glee club. "BYS" DRAW TOM TO CAMPUS Tom Lovell is moving today. To be nearer the campus and the 'bys, Tom has rented the second floor of the cleaning establishment next to the Congregational church with a front window permitting a direct line of vision to the campus. As soon as he gets settled he will be at home to customers and visitors at all hours. A huge sign across the front of the building will herald Tom's name to the campus both as a cob- bler and dispenser of poetry and sim- ple philosophy. WILL EXHIBIT WORKS OF PROMINENT "LIFE" ARTIST. Works of Orsen Lowell, one of 'Life's" principal artists, will be ex- hibited in Memorial hall beginning April 22. The exhibit will be given under the auspices of the Ann Arbor art association and will be open to the public.1 The exhibits will contain the.origi- nals of some of "Life's" biggest hits as well as numerous snatches from the sketch book of the artist showing the evolution of many of his best known works. "EVERYMANl WILL APPEAR IN UNIVERSITY HALL SOON. Miss Edith Wynne Mathieson, sup- ported by a company o0 Ben Greet's English players, will appear at Uni- versity Hall April 18 or 19 in "Ev- eryman" under the auspices of the English department. Miss Mathieson is especially, noted (Continued on page 4). DYNAMITE NOT TO BE USED WITH PRESENT HIGH WATER Additional Working Material Secured By Prof. Johnson.. Men of Experience Needed. More than 50 students responded to the call issued for help in the work by Prof. C. E. Johnston, and these men were kept busy in relay shifts during the entire day. Prof. Johnston ex- pressed his approval of the re- sponse his call met with, and stated that he could use the service of all men who would come out during vacation. "I want men particularly who know how to handle boats and can swim," said Prof. Johnston. "We are going to extend the search and more -men are badly needed. The temperature of the water increases the difficulty of our task, and, the great volume of water due to the heavy rains is re- tarding our work to some extent. I do not think the water will go down until about Monday from present in- lications, and till then we shall progress slowly." The apparatus used in the' search is being augmented daily by new addi- tions. Three large row boats from Whitmore Lake were in use yesterday along with three 20 foot chains bear- ing great hooks which grappled debris from the river bed. Only fragments :f trees and other refuse were lifted to the surface by this procedure. Chief of Police Apfel stated that the use of dynamite would not be resort- ed to until the river showed some signs of abating. Rumor that a reward would be of- fered to stimulate interest in the re- covery of the bodies has not been substantiated by the city or county authorities. A great deal of speculation has de- veloped as to the effect the cold tem- perature of the river water would have on the bodies. Opinions vary, and much discussion has been arous- ed. "The cold temperature of the Huron water will preserve the bodies," said Dean Vaughan. "If the water was warm decomposition would set rin quicker. The present temperature of the water will retard the bodies from rising as soon as they would if the water was warmer." STATE SENATE TO DISCUSS STUDENT FRANCHISE BiLL. Strong Support Gives Promise of Its Favorable Consideration Next Thursday. The question of the enfranchise- ment of students whose homes are in Michigan, will be discussed by the senate at Lansing next Thursday. Favorable action by that body seems assured by present indications. The Progressive party is strongly en- trenched in the Michigan legislature, and will no doubt support the bill. The state papers are also backing the measure by publishing a number of editorials that were prepared by the committee which originally drew up the bill. These editorials maintain, respect- ively, that the bill is a sound progres- sive measure; that it purposes the en- franchisement of citizens who are es- pecially competent to vote, and who have hitherto lost the right or privi- lege given them by their state consti- tution; and finally that the ultimate passage of the bill, entitling students to vote by mail, will materially les- sen the tendency of political parties to bribe students whom they send home to vote.
