Hubbard, of Houghton, last evening. "As the fram- er of thes resolutions, I can state quite positively that thenregentsdesired through them to indicate° their wil- lingness to treat with the Conference on the points at issue. "The sentiment expressed was actu- ally a move toward meeting the Con- ference representatives half way. We hope that it will be understood as such. "But we can never agree to re-en- ter the Conference on our knees," con- tinued Regent Hubbard. "We must have proper regard for the dignity of Michigan, and we should certainly not consent to concessions which will on- ly humiliate us. E mphiasize Local Control. "As a matter of fact, the resolutions lay especial stress upon the aptono- my and self-control of each school in the organization--not Michigan alone. We believe that no measure should be passed by the Conference which has not the sanction of every member of the Conference. ARRANGEMENTS FOR SENIOR RECEPTION BEING COMPLETED; Barbour Gym Will be Elaborately Dec- orated For Big Affair on June 24. Elaborate arrangements are being made for the annual senior reception to be held June 24 at Barbour gym- nasium. Leonard Waterman, '13M, is general chairman of the committee in charge, of the affair. Music will be furnished by a local orchestra and ev- ery third dance will be a tango. Most of the expense this year will be lavished upon the decorations and refreshments; the latter will be served in Waterman gym. Gallery tickets will be sold for 50 cents and the regu- lar tickets will go on sale among the class committees next week at the usual price of $4.00. Chaperones will be Pres. and Mrs. H. B. Hutchins and the deans of several of the depart- ments. MIUCH BOUSINESS IS TANSACTED SENIORS WANT TO, ADVISE FRESHMEN About 150 prospective seniors have responded to cooperate with the com- mittee in charge of the freshmen ad- visory system in carrying out a plan whereby the care of freshmen in the future will be left entirely to seniors. The committee working in cooperation with Prof. C. O. Davis and Prof. M. P. Tilley, who have been in charge of the faculty advisory system, expects to obtain a senior reading room in Uni- versity hall where freshmen can come at all times for advice. Some of the advisors have volunteer- ed to return early next year 'to assist the freshmen in electing their courses and arranging other matters entirely new to first year men. The commit- tee will also obtain the names of the prospective freshmen from the reg- istrar's office this summer, and each advisor will take charge of four men with whom he will communicate be- fore school opens in the fall, and ad- vise throughout the year. The object is to have the seniors responsible not only for their advice in scholastic work, but to instill in the youngesters a real Michigan spirit and rbspect for Michigan traditions as early as possible. The trouble heretofore has been that the freshmen have entirely neglected to look up their faculty advisors for scholastic suggestions, and have been greatly neglected by the senior advis- ors. Henceforth the senior advisors will be expected to call upon their men, and the comimttee will arrange for a number of smokers during the year where the advisors and fresh- :n will meet.

"The idea of Michigan men taking igan students in Ann Arbor is receiv- ing recognition on the outside, was ev- idenced by the following statement made yesterday by J. Fred Lawton, '11, probation officer of Detroit, a speaker at the Charities conference here: "The idea of Michigan men taking hold of the playground work in con- nection with the Ann Arbor schools is a splendid one, because of the call for young men, experienced in this line of work, that is being issued in all large cities. This movement should furnish an ideal school for Detroit playground workers, who are chosen each summer from college men who have had experience."

That the reolutions adopted by the gents would seem on their face to d nowhere, was the opinion of Prof. ans Holbrook, retiring member of board of control of athletics, when erviewed yesterday. 'The regents' resolutions seem in- ided to evade the real question as whether Michigan is going back to West, or is going to continue to rust itself into the East, which is eady athletically over-crowded," ,ted Burke Shartel '11-'13L, who ex- essed a strong pre-conference atti- le in a speech given at the Cap ght ceremonies one week ago.

Michigan, Cornell and Pennsylvania Will Wage Three Cornered Battle at Cambridge Today. MAIZE AND BLUE STARS ARE DOPED FOR SECOND IN MEET Ithacans Slated to Be Victorious; Quakers Mlay Take Third Place. (Special to The Michigan Daily.) CAMBRIDGE, MASS., May 30.-With nine men qualifying in the preliminar- ies, Michigan steps up a notch, in the figuring of track followers at the East- ern Intercollegiates ,in the Harvard stadium, and is looked to follow Cor- nell in the finals, with Pennsylvania a close third. Bond in the 100 and 220, Seward in the 220, Haff and Jan- sen in the 440, Craig in the low hurd- les, Sargent in the high jump, and Kohler in the shot put and hammer throw with Smith and Brown in the mile and two mile, are the Wolverines who will fight to overthrow precedent and place the Maize and Blue in the van tomorrow. Cornell, with 11 men qualified in 9 events, and the redoubt- able Jones to be reckoned with in the mile, seems to have the firmest grip on the victory. Pennsylvania slated for second place, qualified only 8 men in four events, and although with some prospects in the distances does not seem to have the strength to displace Michigan from second. The ill-luck that dogged Seward in the intercollegiate preliminaries a year ago was present today, when he was set back a yard in the hundred yard dash for a false start. This misfor- tune shattered his chances for place, as he had drawn the fastest heat of the afternoon, won by Lippincott of Penn, in 10 seconds flat. Bond got away in good shape and won his heat in the century dash without extending himself. Both the Michigan sprinters landed firsts in their respective heats in the 220 yard dash, and should figure prominently in tomorrow's running. Haff and Jansen lived up to all ex- pectations on the easy wy they cap- tured first in their heats in the quarter mile. The Michigan captain was of- fered no first class opposition in his race and .was able to ease up at the finish, clipping off the distance in 50 4-5 seconds. Jansen ran his heat in 50 3-5 seconds. Brown and Lamey represented Mich- igan in the half mile but were unable to qualify for the finals. Brown and Smith will run tomorrow in the mile, with a possibility of Smith entering the two mile instead of the mile. In this event Lamey will start in the mile to pace Brown. In the low hurdles, Craig experienc- ed no trouble in winning a slow heat, and should be able to make much bet- ter time tomorrw when the incentive; which was lacking today, will be pres- ent. The injury to his leg makes him less certain of repeating his last year's victory in this race, but he should at least land second. Kohler placed in the shot put and then hammer throw, with marks that are far below his capabilities when in shape. The distance made in the shot put will count for the finals, but both Kohler, and Beatty of Columbia, who is picked to win the event, will have to depend upon tomorrow's showing as they now stand third and fourth. Koh- er should be able to appropriate sec- ond, as he did last year. In the ham- mer throw, the Michigan weight man is more of an unknown quantity, as he has improved his form, and should do (Continued on page 2.) At the meeting of the board of re- gents Thursday night appointments to fellowships for the year 1913-'14 were made. The Buhl classical fellowships were awarded to Charles W. French, stipend $300 and Robert W. Adkison, stipend $200; the Mather classical fel- lowship of $300 to James E. Dunlap; Michigan gas association fellowships to Carl K. Wirth, $500, and Robert R. Tennant, for the first semester, $250; Acme White Lead and Color Works fellowship of $500 to John Crowe Brier. The state college fellowships were awardc4 as follows: Helen Wolcott, Adrian College; Carl Rufus, Albion College; Claud W. Saterlee, Alma Col- lege; Clara Triplet, Hillsdale College; Albert E. Lampen, Hope College; Geo. K. Ferguson, Kalamazoo College; Richard E. Bissel, M. A. C.; William V. Hoyt, Olivet College; Ivan Packard, Albion College; Verna Shultz, Hope College. F. J. Burris Munn was ap- pointed to fill the vacancy among the $300 fellowships caused by the resig- nation of Herman A. Clark. Transact Much Minor Business. Lamps and benches were provided to be placed in front of the new audi- torium and to be designed by Albert Kahn, of Detroit. Cabinets were au- thorized to be built to house the mu- sical instruments in the new building so as to get them out of the museum into a fire proof structure. Albert Kahn, of Detroit, was also appointed architect of the new science building. An expenditure of $400 was allowed from the Palmer field fund for the construction of a fence around Palmer field. Dr. Cummings accepted the position (Continued on page 4.) Manuscripts° Must Be Submitted Committee of Judges Next Fall. to The first annual regatta of the Mich- igan Union Boat club will be held on Barton pond this morning. The first event, the long distance swimming match will begin at promptly 9:15 o'clock, and the other events, short distance swimming, singles, doubles and mixed double canoe races, tilting and diving matches will folow each other in rapid succession, the last event being scheduled for 11:00 o'clock. The contestants are expected to re- port at the power house at the Barton dam at 9:00 o'clock, 'and the rules will be explained to them at that time. The hearts of all the entrants will be examined before they will be allow- ed to compete, and every safeguard will be taken to prevent the possibil- ity of accidents. Owing to the fact that express on the single racing shells would cost nearly $50, the officials finally decided against the plan of bringing the shells from Detrtoit. This means that the spectators at the regatta will not have the chance of seeing a race between (Continued on page 4.) - Plans for a professional production of the prize winning play for the Comedy club for next fall are progres- sing rapidly. Manager Cohen has re- ceived letters from Charles Frohman and David Belasco in reference to the plan, and both promised to do all in their power to help the local organi- zation. This means that the $100 play will receive a public reading in the offices of the two producers at least, and also that either will take charge of the play if it promises well. "I am always glad to hear of any movement in the colleges that will tend to stimulate the interest of stu- dents in drama and playwriting," wrote Mr. Frohman. "I have often said that the only way to learn to write plays is to write them, and the prize offered will undoubtedly induce an effort in the right direction. The great need of the American stage at the present time is plays-plays of American life, and I will always be anxious to encourage in any way in my, (Continued on page 4.) l t 1 C i C 1 F Y t x f f a r e s p d t: t... It took the Wolverines ten innings yesterday to down the Farmers in the first of the two game series, and it was only clever fielding that allowed that fortunate ending. The Cultivators looked helpless for four innings while Michigan was gathering in tallies from the delivery of Blake Miller, the Aggie football star, but after that four in- nings, conditions were reversed and the last part of the.contest was real baseball. Quaintance started the pitching for Michigan and for four innings the lit- tle fellow mowed the Farmers down in one, two, three order, allowing only one hit and not passing a man. But all time he was using simply a curve ball and when the curve lost its sense of direction and started to ramble, troub- le ensued. In the fourth he filled the bases with none out and then allowed all the runners to score on wild heav- es. Starting the fifth he allowed three hits that intoxicated the stations and then resigned, Baribeau taking up the burden. The doctor got away in fine style, only one runner scoring, and after that for five innings he had ev- erything his way, pitching beautiful ball. Miller, the Aggie hurler, reversed Quaintance's stunt and was easy for four innings. Then he tightened up and the Wolverines never came near a run until the tenth. The fielding be- hind Miller was of the cleanest vari- ety and several sharp bits of work saved him early in the game. Dawson, playing the left garden for the visitors pulled off two catches that were won- ders, and the entire Aggie aggrega- tion played erorrless ball. Baker, for Michigan played a stellar game, and the fielding was .good. A peculiar fea- (Continued on page 4.) TODAY ... ission 50c. M. A. C. vs. MICHIGAN BASEBALL GAME, Ferry Fie d 2:30 P.
