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! up with the smokeaters today.I In the fire-lit amphitheatre of Sleepy Battling until darkness enveloped Hollow more than a thousand fresh- Ferry field baseball diamond, the jun- men became sophomores last night in for laws and soph engineers were un- the Cap Night celebration of 1913, able to settle the dispute for th, cam- which successfully upheld the tradi- pus championship yesterday afternoon tion as that of which Michigan may be and were forced to stop proceedings proud.

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. The regular Michigan Union dance tonight will be open to prep school athletes and their lady friends as well as to members of the Union. Tickets for the function are limited to 75 couples. The score: (Continued PREP ATHLETES TO SEE TRACK MEN IN ACTION Farrell Will Bring Out Fntire Track 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. on page 4.)
