smothered the Methodists to the tune
of 14 to 1, never hesitating in the scor-

at all times. It was not a particularly
interesting game owing to its lopsided
outcome but the swatting that took
place and the pitching of Sisler fur-
nished enough excitement to over-
come the arctic breezes. The port side

score.
The game was carded Jo be a pitch-
ers' duel and Sisler played his part
well, but De Silva, Syracuse's best bet,
was not up to the standard and he was
roughly treated. Thirteen safeties
were made off him and five of themj
were for extra bases, Duncanson lead-
ing with a circuit breaker. Baer
caught his first game for Michigan and
gave a good exhibition. He was a lit-
tle nervous in spots and had a couple
of slips but he handled Sisler well
and caused many a worrying fan to
breathe a sigh of relief to think that
the backstop problem was not impos-
sible to solve.
The Wolverine team went into ac-
tion with a scrambled lineup, Dun-
canson playing in the outfield, How-
ard back on the first station, and Baer
catching. Also the batti g order got a
shaking Bell Ieading off and
McQueen taking the third po-
sition on the - list. The shake-
up had its effect for the hitting was
not only consistent but very timely,
McQueen justifying his position by
garnering three hits. Aside from two
or three slips, the fielding was clean
although Sisler allowed the ball
to be hit but little. But there was bet-
ter work all' around than on Thurs-
day and the team had a smoother ap-
pearing mechanical style.
Aside from the pitching of Sisler and
the heavy batting of Michigan there
was little to the game. With a good
break of luck Sisler would have shut
them out but the viistors combined
two lucky hits with an error and saved
their side of the score board from
disgrace. The left hander seemed to
let himself out a little more than at
any time previous and was pitching
ball that would win any game. Par-
ticularly good was the way he held
runners to the bag. De Silva didn't
get away at all, Michigan swatting
him all during the game and hitting
the ball hard. Of course the eight
Syracuse errors had a large part to
play in the big total but Michigan
would have won without that aid. The
work of the Syracuse team was in con-
trast with their appearance Thursday
and evidently the three games in a row
had a deleterious effect.
The visitors scored their lone coun-
ter in the seventh while Michigan was
blanked in only two rounds, the fifth
and seventh. In all the other innings
they tallied from one to four runs,
taking advantage of all the openings

Principals, dancing and singing chor-
uses, and orchestra members must be
there in order to insure their places.
As the choruses must be cut to bring
the number of the entire road company
down to 100, the men participating
in these parts will be especially noted
in regar to attendance.
There will be only one performance,
and that on Saturday evening, accord-
ing to present arrangements. The show
will be given in the Blackstone thea-
ter, and the Chicago ticket sale will'
open at once. A block of choica seats
will be sent to Ann Arbor, and put on
sale here next Friday and Saturday.
Although the advertising qtmpaign
for the Chicago show has not yet been
instituted, Manager Heath reports
much enthusiasm among the Cook
county alumni in anticipation of the
visit of the Michigan men.

A number of workmen are now em-
ployed in erecting a temporary stage
for the May Festival. A tier of eight
benches is being put up for the or-
chestra, which will accommodate 208
persons. The regular stage has been
extended so as to cover the first row
of orchestra seats.
Meetings will be held tomorrow by
both the sophomore and freshman

concussion of the brain caused by an
automobile accident. He was spending
the day with his fiancee in Detroit and
*iad just left her when struck by the

ward avenue and Elmhurst street at
about 11:00 o'clock last night.

Youngsters Make Good Time in Most
Events; Relay Proves to be
Walk Away.
By giabbing 11 firsts in 14 events
and taking the relay the all-fresh
track team more than duplicated the
trimming they administered the M. A.
C. aggregation on the indoor track and
walked away with the meet at Lan-
sing yesterday by the onesided count
of 88 to 47.
The youngsters started out by tak-
ing the shot put with a heave by
Cochran of 35 feet, 10 inches. Not
satisfied with merely the first counters
Farrell's pets took all three places
in the hundred,._H. L. Smith crossed
the tape in 10:1, Catlett and Arm-
strong then captured the two big plac-
es in the two hurdles and Kloeffer
landed second in each of the events..
In the quarter C. B. Smith had lit-
tle trouble in placing first and Gore
finished second. H. L. Smith took the
220 yard dash in 22:3, with Alderman
of M. A. C. running second and Little
of the all-fresh taking third. The half
was chalked up to Ufer's credit by cov-
ering the distance in 2:04:3.
Fox, who ran the mile in 4:42:2,
broke the M. A. C. record. The young-
ster ran a strong grace throughout and,
had little trouble in losing the rest of
the field in a fast sprint at the finish.
The two mile went to Lynch in 10:10:3{
with M. A. C. securing the other two
places.1
Bastion took the hammer with aa
throw of 100 feet, M. A. C. gettings
second and third. The discus was the
first of the three events that the fresh-
men allowed M. A. C. to land and the
farmers took advantage of the cour-
tesy and took second as well. The
high jump and pole vault were the,
other two events in which the fresh
failed to win the first ribbons.
The relay proved to be even more1
of a walk away than the rest of thec
meet, and by running the mile in 3:37
the quartette composed of Fox, Little,c
Gore, and C. B. Smith rounded out ther
final count to 88.C

Maurice C. Myers,,'11-'13L, was nom-
inated by petition yesterday for the
office of president of the Michigan Un-
ion. Unless further pt.ions are re-
ceived before Wednesday' evening at
6:00 o'clock, the presidential race will
be a three cornered affair, all of the
then placed in nomination being law
students. Besides Myers the following
men will run for the presidency: Sel-
ien S. Dickinson, '13-'15L, Louis F.
Haller, '11-'14L.
Myers' petition was signed by 26
members of the Union, the minimum
number required by the constitution
being 25. It was circulated yester-
day morning by friends.
The last and only case in the history
of the Union in which a man has been
nominated for an office by petition oc-
curred in 1911, when Harold Haskins,
11, entered the race for the recording
secretaryship. Haskins was victorious
in the election.
FRATERNiTIES WILL AID IN
HOUSING VISITING TEACHERS.
The inter-fraternity conference de-
cided at its last meeting to aid the
local committee of the Michigan State
Teachers' association in providing
lodgings for the 7,000 pedagogues who
will come here next October.
"The organization met the request
vith a broadminded generosity," said
Prof. W. W. Florer, "and I am assured
that the fraternities will do everything
n their power to make the meeting
of the teachers a big success."
Further plans for the big gathering
have been somewhat delayed owing to
the fact that the amount of money
which will be at the disposal of the
various committees can not as yet
be determined. The regents appropri-
ated $1,000 for this purpose some time
ago, and the newly"elected city coun-
cil is expected to make a similar ap-
ropriation.

ELECT NOMINEES FOR NEW
BOARD AT ELECTION MAY 23.
Will Place Limitation Upon Number
of Offices a Woman
Can Hold.
University women are to have a self
governing board. To make this board
their direct representative, the execu-
tive board of the Wom'en's League,
which will appoint the new council, is
to be reorganized. Such was the ac-
tion of the open meeting of the league
executive board yesterday morning,
when the constitution was amended to
provide for these plans.
The amendment provides for the
nomination of two women from each
sorority, league house and house club
to run for membership on the execu-
tive board. Only one woman from
each house, however, shall be elected
at the general election May 23. The
independents, at large are to nominate
ten women, five of whom are to be
elected. This completely upsets the;.
old board, 11 members of which rep-
resented the 11 sororities. The 600
independents of the university were
given the remaining 11 members.
These nominees will be elected at
the general election which will be.
conducted in Barbour gym and the
General Library from 8:00 to 6:00
o'clock May 23. All officers of the
eague, as well as the new executive
board, will be chosen at this time.
This new board will draft plans for
the appointing of a self-governing
committee to act as a standing com-
mittee of the 1 gue. No plans for this
council are re dy yet as the new board
is to have ful charge of the matter.
