Although the entries for the regatta
to be held by the Michigan Union boat
club are coming in rapidly, the officials
in charge of the event are anxious that
everyone who intends to enter in any
of the contests do so at once, so that
preparations can be made for taking
cre of them.I
A tent for the use of the contestants
will be put up near the power house,
and a large diving raft will be con-
structed. The plans for the building
of portages at the pulp mill and the
Barton dam are well under way, and
the actual labor will be commenced
the firstof the week.
Nothing definite has been heard
from the Detroit Boat club in reply to
the request for the use of the two
single racing shells for the affair, but
it is expected that no difficulty will be
encountered. The oarsmen who have
promised to row in the race have been
practicing on the river with rowboats,
and several of the swimmers have been
taking exercise',n the lake above the
dam, in preparation for the contests.

Irene Bigalke, '14, was elected pres-
ident of the Women's League at the
annual election held yesterday. Julia
Anderson was chosen vice-president,
Honora Fogerty, '15, treasurer;record-
ing secretary, Mary Lewis, '15; corres-
ponding secretary, Margaret Foote,'15;
chairman membership committee, Julia.
Henning, '14, social chairman Clara
Roe, '14; housekeeper, Judith Gins-
berg, '15. Nearly 500 votes were cast,
a large gain over last *year's vote.
These results were announced at the
close of the play "Pandora" at a gar-
den party which was given in place of
the formal installation of officers.
The eleventh hour withdrawal of
Louise Conklin, '13, split the vote
somewhat, Irene Bigalke winning easi-
ly. The large vote was due to an ef-
fort to organize the independents this
year. The fact that they elected five
members at large of the executive
board drew out a large vote. The re-
sults of the executive board were not
attainable last night as the votes had
not been counted. Nothing was done
about the appointment of the chair-
man of the new self-government board
as the executive board will not meet
until next Saturday when active work
will be started upon the matter.
SCHEDULE OF TENNIS TEAM
IN EAST MARRED BY RAINS.
Match With Bucknell Cancelled; Play-
ers Meet Pittsburgh Today if
Weather Permits.
PHILADELPHIA, May 23.-The
same rains that have been dogging the
footsteps of the Michign baseball
team in the east, have also marred the
schedule of tennis players, forcing
them to remain idle for two days.
The match with Penn on Thursday
was cancelled for this reason, and a
further disappointment was encoun-
tered today when rain stoppfed the con-
test with Bucknell.
Pittsburg is the next stop on the
itinerary of the racquet wielders, and
provided that the weather man will
give a respite from rain, they will hook!

With 105 of Michigan's amateur thes
pians on board, the "Contrarie Mary
special pulled out of the Michigan Cen
tral station for Chicago last night a
11:15 o'clock. There was but on
thing to cast a shade of sadness ove

to the general chairman, was unableti
go along owing to the sudden death o
his father in New York city yesterday
afternoon.

tertained by the Alumni associatio

day i expected to be a gala day fo

mediate vicinity. The headquarters
will probably be at the University club

Seniors Slow in Paying Diploma Fees.
Only one-fourth of the more than
1,000 seniors who expect to get degrees
this June have so far paid their diploma
fees. The fee of $10, and the teachers
fee of $2.00 must be paid before Satur-
day noon, May 31, if a degree is to be

Proper cards, should be filled out at

don't shirk it."
Following the program the classes
sang "Where Oh Where Are the Ver-
dant Freshmen?" and then "The Yel-
low and the Blue." The freshmen per-
formed their last rites in a spiral pro-
cession about the enlarged fire and
tossed their little signs of bondage
into the flames. They then hurried
away to rush the Majestic for the
promised "free show" and the crowd
filed out of Sleepy Hollow, another
Cap Night successfully enacted.
'Visiting Athletes to Dance at Union.

Squad, This Morning, in Test
to Pick Men For
Eastern Meet.
TEAM IN GOOD CONDITION;
HIIBAUGH MISSED SORELY
Juniors Seem to Have Best Chances
of Winning; Seniors Victims
of Jinx.
As a part of the entertainment offer-
ed to the visiting "prep" school ath-
letes, Trainer Farrell will parade the
full strength of the university track
team on Ferry field this morning at
10:00 o'clock, to take part in the Var-
sity meet. Not only will this inter-
class contest give the visitors a chance
to see stars of the Maize and Blue in
action, but it will serve as a try out
for the inter-collegiates next Friday
and Saturday.
While Trainer Farrell is sure of most
of the men who will be carried to the
intercollegiates, today's meet will de-
cide the chances of those who have
not up to date made marks that would
warrant them being taken to the East.
It is not certain whether Haff will be
run in the quarter or the half mile, as
the trainer has not yet decided just
where he can perform the best. Ear-
lier in the season there was some talk
of running Haff in the 220, but his
weak tendon would prevent that now.
In other respects the track team will
be in good condition if no accidents,
such as the injury to Haimbaugh, fur.
ther weaken its make up.
The juniors seem to have the best
chance of winning the 'meet, but were
also touted to win the indoor varsity,
where they were nosed out of the vic-
tory by the seniors. The near grads will
,have small chance of repeating this
however with H.aimbaugh out of the
running and Haff able to run in only
one event. But whatever the outcome
the guests of the occasion will have
the opportunity to see some of the best
track and field athletes in the college
world in action.
