Michigan Expects Stiff Opposition
From invading Southern
Team.
Once more Coach Branch Rickey
will send a new combination of Varsi-
ty diamond artists into the field when
Michigan meets Georgia this after-
noon on Ferry field. This time the
coach has shifted the infield and as a
result every position of the inner de-
fense will be taken to care of by a
different man than appeared in the
Wesiiern Reserve game on Saturday.
"Johnnie" Lavans is still unable to
play, and Coach Rickey has called Ba-
ker from third to look after the short-
field. Hughitt will be sent to .third
McQueen, who played at second base
against Western Reserve, will be shift-
ed to first, owing to the fact that How-
ard is out of, the game temporarily
because of an injured knee,while Dun-
canson will be sent back to his old
post at second base.
Michigan concluded her practice for
the Georgia game yesterday after-
noon when the coach put his charges
through a little real competition. The
Wolverines are expecting the same
kind of opposition which Georgia put
up in the last game at Athens when
the southerners held the invaders to
a 2 to 2, 11 inning tie and are on
edge for the contest.
Georgia will use the following line-
up: Jimm lf, McWhorter cf, Hutchins

Michigan's lineup will probably be:

COUNCIL PROVIDES
THIRD TUG-O'-WAR
Student Body Establishes New Event
in Spring Contests For
Bantam Weights.
Caught by an ingenious burglar trap,
By a ruling of the student council
an unknown negro, who was peeping | at its meeting last night, a third tug-
in at the windows of Hilary house,
jumped from a porch roof and made
his escape last night while bullets
from the revolver of C. D. Benjamin
punctured the air about him.
The police took a suspect, whose
name they withheld, to headquarters
later in the evening and questioned
him. He was later released, but the
officers say that he may be rearrested,
if suspicion fastens the offense on
him.
That the "peeper" was not captured
is not the fault of Mr. Benjamin. For!
several mornings he had noticed that1
of-war was provided for the annual
spring games which this year will be
held on May 16 and 17 during festival
week. Committees to take charge of
the contests were announced at the
same time by Pres. J. E. Hancock.
The new tug-of-war will be open to
bantam weights and only men under
135 pounds will be allowed to pull on
the opposing teams of 60 men each.
The council also changed the point
system so that the side winning any
one of the tugs for heavy, light, or
bantam weights will receive one point
a ladder which he kept at the rear of
the house had been moved to the
porch.
After some careful thinking, he con-
cocted a trap. He put the ladder in its
usual place and then bored a hole
Ihrough the well into the kitchen.
-next he tied a string to the ladder and
ran it carefully through the hole and
into his bed room. Here he attached
a tin pail to the string and perched it
on the head of his bed.
Just after Mr. Benjamin had dozed
off, forgetful of burglars and traps, the
tin pail hit him on the chest. Imme-
diately he took his revolver and went
to the kitchen door. He looked out.
A big negro was standing on the
porch roof, peering in a second story
window.
"Throw up your hands!"
The negro jumped wildly from the
porch and ran while Mr. Benjamin fol-
lowed rather gingerly because he was
sans shoes and fired at the fleeeing
figure. He missed the prowler who
disappeared over a back fence.
Hilary house was thrown in an up-
roar and it took some time to convince
the young women that there was no
to count on the final score for the
games. In the past the heavyweight
tug has counted two points, while the
winners of the lightweight contest ob-
tained but one.

lowing the French custom, the ushers
at the play will be women, members of
the Cercle Fracais.
Dean John R. Effinger lectured on
the play yesterday afternoon, discuss-
ing the life of Moliere, the importance
of his work, and the plot and charac-
ters of the play selected for this year.
The seat sale for "Les Fourberies

lection will be open to the public the
latter part of the week.

cipal artists, and the collection will
include the originals of some of his

oped.
TO GIVE CONCERT. IN DETROIT.
Combined Musical Clubs Will Hold
Entertainment May 2.
Detroit will be given an opportunity
to hear the combined Michigan mu-
sical clubs in a concert ouMay 2. Fear
that the proposed concert in Toledo
would not prove a financial success,
resulted in a decision not to give the
concert in that city.
The personneltofthe clubs has been
almost doubled since the Pacific trip,
and about 42 men will be taken to De-
troit. The clubs Vill probably ren-
der the same program as they did on
the western trip, featuring songs from
"Contrarie Mary." The concert will be
given in the Knights of Columbus
hall.
Another "home entertainment is be-
ing planned by the glee and mando-
lin clubs. The date has not been set
but will probably be about the time
of the spring interscholastic meet.

DECIDE TO WITHDRAW ENTRY
IN VARSITY MILE CONTEST.
Kohler and Sargeant Will Be Taken
to Compete in Field
Events.
From the outcome of the trials in
the Varsity two mile relay, and the
freshman mile race yesterday after-
noon, the athletic authorities have
definitely decided to send teams to
compete in these events at the Penn-
sylvania field day. It was further de-
cided that the entry in the Varsity mile
would be withdrawn, because of the
poor showing of the runners in recent
trials, and the stiff competition to be
met with in this distance.
All official times taken from the two
mile trials were kept under the hats
of the timers, but as unofficial reports
give Haff a mark under two minutes,
and four others were hot on his heels,
the average struck must have been
close to the desired two minutes. Haff,
Haimbaugh, Jansen, and Brown fin-
ished in the order named, and, barr-
ing accidents, will run in the big
event. Lamey finished fifth and will
be taken along on the trip as substi-
tute.
Freshman trials were. run off imme-
diately after the Varsity problem had
been settled. As trainer Farrell had
a long confab with Director Bartelme
before the decision was made to carry
the youngsters to the East, it is prob-
able that their time for the quarter,
while better than Saturday's, did not
measure up to the standard of three
minutes and 30 seconds This was
the mark set as qualifying for the
trip, but perhaps was overridden be-
cause of the belief by the Trainer that
the men can run at a faster clip in
actual competition.
C. Smith led the freshmen over the'
440 stretch, closely followed by Ufer,
Gore Lyttle and Catlett. A substitute'
will also be taken with this team
which insures the presence of Catlett
on the trip.
Only two men are certain to make
the trip to compete in the field sports.
Kohler and Sargeant will undoubtedly
be carried, and there is a possibility
that a broad jumper will be taken.
The athletes will leave for the East
Thursday night at ,7,:30 o'clock over

roads.

ADOPT HONOR-
"SYSTEM DRAFT
Plan Finally Evolved by Committee
Comprises Best Points of
Sehemes of Other
Colleges.
A WRITTEN PLEDGE WILL BE
REQUIRED AT END OF EXAM.
Committees From Each Class Will
Modify Plan For Use of
Department.
The first draft of a departmental
plan for taking examinations under
the honor system was adopted by a
board of class presidents, which met
at the Union yesterday afternoon. The
plan will be modified to suit the par-
ticular needs of each department, and-
will then be submitted to the several
classes for ratification.
The scheme is the result of a thor-
ough analysis of such systems used
in representative colleges throughout
the country, and combines the best
points found in all of them. The com-
mittee, under Ralph M. Snyder, '13L,
chairman, has made a careful study. of
the methods used in the Universities
of Texas, Cornell, Princeton, the Car-
negie Institute, and the New York
State high school system, and has
evolved a composite plan which it
considered would adequately meet
conditions here.
According to the program adopted
by the board, the presidents of Ell the
classes in each department will amend
the outline as they think necessary,
using the present plan as a basis, and
then report, back to the board. Each
president will then appoint a com-
mittee of members of his own class,
and all'th committees in each depart-
ment will meet and together work out
in detail a final plan which will be
turned over to each class with the
recommendation that it be adopted.
If- a majority of classes in a de-
partment accept the plan, it is to be
considered that the honor system has
been officially adopted by that depart-
