VETERANS APPEAR FOR WORKOUT
Track Squad Strengthened By Addition
of Ufer and Murphy
Clarence Ufer, the miler on last
year's track squad, reported to Coach
Farrell for work this week for the
first time this season. "Dutch" Murphy,
the 880-yard man on last year's squad,
is ali out, this being his second ap-
pearaice
The addition of these two men to the
track squad completes the list of vet-
erans from last season. Although both
Murphy and .Ufer failed to win an
"M" last season, they scored many
points for Michigan during the year,
and their return to the squad promises
to strengthen the team materially.
From present indications the 440-
yard dash promises to be the chief
worry of the coach in the track events.
The graduation of Phil Jansen, the
crack quarter miler on last year's ag-
gregation, leaves a big vacancy. John,
who showed considerable promise dur-
ing the early part of last season, but

Prof. E. C. Cogan and Prof. J. C.

1lEALTII STATISTICS OF CAMP
AT DOU L AS LAKE GIVEN OUT
Report Prepared by Dr. Stouffer Gives
Complete Analysis of Water
and Sanitation
Complete statistics of the health and
sanitary conditions at the engineering
and biological camps at Douglas lake
last summer, are embodied in a state-
meat given out recently by Dr. C. B.
Stouffer of the university health ser-
vice, who had charge of the work at
the camp last summer.
Besides giving a list of the infec-
tions and diseases which were treated
during the summer, the report empha-
sizes the need of more staple and per-
lanent quarters for the mess, and the
lack of a kitchen house, in which to
pack ice, so that foods may be kept
in cold storage. At present there is
no suitable method for keeping foods
fresh, and this accounts for sickness
caused by eating foods which became
spoiled.
The waters used in the camp have
been test-ed, and all have been pro-
nounced fit for drinking purposes, ex-
cept the water from the lake, which is
not used unless boiled first.
The different details of sanitation
-were accomplished by a sanitary com-
mittee, composed of Dr. Stouffer and
several students, who were assigned
to work with him for a week at a
time. Certain rules of sanitation were
made, and strictly enforced through-
out the summer.

Try-outs for the team which will

Webster debating society will meet
tonight in its rooms in the law build-
ing to select its members of this team.
This is the first time that the faculty
of the oratorical department has tried
the new system of representatives in
which there are six men selected from
each of the four literary societies.
This gives an opportunity for more
men to take active part in the compe-
tition and also gives the try-outs the
advantage of direct faculty supervis-
ion. The team of 24 members will be
heard from time to time and gradu-
ally reduced to the required size of
six men.
VACATION BASKETBALL LEAGUE
PROPOSED FOR HOLIDAY WEEKS
To A rrange Inter-Department Sched-
ule if Enough Show
Interest
Provision for those unfortunates who
cannot get home for the Christmas
holidays are already being made byi
the intramural department, in the form
of a vacation bas.ketball league, to be
made up of teams entered from the dif-
ferent departments, which will play on
a percentage basis to determine the
holiday department championship. I
The first steps in the movement are
being taken by the placing of cards in
Doctor May's office at Waterman gym
and in the athletic association office,
on which cards, those interested In
vacation basketball may enroll by,
signing their name, class, address and"
telephone number. The cards will be
placed today and those Who anticipate9
being in Ann Arbor durlng vacation,
and who are interested in the port,
are requested to register in order thatt
an idea may be obtained as to howi
many will enter the league. In the1
event of there being less than fifty no ;
arrangements can be made.
If enough enthusiasts signify their
intention of taking part in the play
the details will be arranged. Up to
this time there have been no steps
taken in regard to this, except the
securing of Waterman gym, which will
be open from 10:00 o'clock to 12:00
o'clock every day. It has also been
arranged that collegiate and not Ama-
teur Athletic Union rules shall be
adopted to govern the play.
CHANGE IN MANAGEMEINT HALTS
BOAT CLUB MEMBERSHIP PLANS
Plans for the Michigan Union Boat
club membership campaign, slated to
start immediately after the holidays,
have. been blocked by rearrangements
now under way in the managership.
Activities, until the end of this week,
will be confined to publicity and dis-
tributing of circulars on resuscitation
of drowned persons.
A meeting of leaders of the club,
which will be held on the Tuesday or
Wednesday after the return of the stu-
dents from vacation, will determine
the leadership in the membership cam-
paign, and decide other policies. W.
Lee Watson, '17E, as chairman of the
resuscitation committee, is supervising
the distribution of 5,000 pamphlets on
saving of drowning persons, recently
received from the state authorities at
Lansing. Most of these will be handed
out at the Spotlight Vaudeville at Hill
auditorium tonight.
This committee is cooperating with
Dr. H. H. Cummings, the university
health service head, who is giving dem-
onstrations of proper methods of res-
cuing the drowned, before freshman
gym classes.

ern dances, will present the the fox
tyot, Pavlowa gavotte, and maxixe.
General chairman. L. K. Friedman,
'15, stated last night that he felt con-
fident the show would make a decided
hit with the audience, basing his opin-
ion to a large extent on the fact that
every act is new, and has never before
been presented in a campus entertain-'
ment.,

ERECT BOOTHS AT GYMNASIUM
TO RENT FOR NOMINAL CHAR
I
In spite of repeated flattering ad-
vances on the part of Ohio State Uni-
versity,. Dean W. B. Hinsdale of the
homeopathic department has given his
final decision to remain in Ann Arbor.
For some time the Ohio officials have
been trying to induce Dr. Hinsdale to
act as dean of the new college of hom-
eopathy in that institution, offering
him every advantage in the matter of
facilities and salary, but he has con-
sistently refused, believing that his
field of effort is in the University of
Michigan.-

)MYSTERY DISSOLVES INTO THIN
AIR AT SENIOR LITS' PARTY
After having discovered that the
Half Dollar Mystery was to be unrav-
eled in Barbour gymnasium, 120 sen-
ior lits gathered there to hold their
traditional pre-Christmas party. Em-
mett F. Connely, as Santa Claus, gave
toys to each of the seniors. Mr. and
Mrs. Lyman Bryson acted as chaper-
ones.
bulletin, which is issued in booklet
form, similar in size to all university
announcements, was provided for by,
the board of regents and is a depart-
ure in methods of keeping the alumni
in touch with the active life of the
university.
Enough copies of the booklet are
being printed to provide one for every
alumnus and undergraduate. Every
branch of campus activity that might
be of interest to alumni is given space.
It is hoped through this neav publica-
tion to cement more closely the bond
.between alumni and the university.
It is not definitely known just how
often the bulletin will be issued. Since
the distribution is free and extends to
all alumni, it is in no sense a competi-
tor of the Alumnus.
Alumni will receive their copies
through the mail, the bulletin having
the same status in the mail as other
publications of the university. Students
will receive their copies from recepta-
cles in the various buildings.

In the preliminaries for the Peace
Contest, held last week and this week,1
thore were seven men, two, as alter-l
nates, chosen to make up the team of
tryouts from which the Michigan rep-
resentative will be selected. The team
consists of the following men who will
speak in this order in the final try-
outs: S. J. Skinner, '15, R. R. Fellers,
'i, N. E. Pinney, '16, C. H. Ross, '15,
A. P. Bogue, lit special. The alternatesl
are: S. P. Hilado, grad., and F.'S. Sor-1
renson, grad.
The change in the date of vacation1
made it necessary to alter the date
for the final tryout, from December'
22 to January 8. This will give the
members of the team more time in
which to prepare for the presenta-
tion oftheir orations before the public,
in University Hall at that time. Some
exceptionally strong pieces are ex-
pected by the oratory faculty this year.
Prof. T. E. Trueblood of the oratory
department expressed himself last
night as well pleased with the material
which was given in the preliminary
contests. An unusual amount of in-
terest has been shown this year in
the Peace Contest, and some of the
candidates will remain in Ann Ar-
bor during vacation to work on their
orations.
The final preliminary will be held in
University hall January 8, and the win-
ner of the contest will represent the
-nlversity in the state contest, which
will be held in Ann Arbor in March.
I'he winner of the state contest will
go to the Intercollegiate contest at
Madison, Wisconsin, where the rep-
resentative of this district will be
chosen to go to either Mohonk,,N. Y., or
to San Francisco, Cal., to take part in
the national contest.
Members of the Oratorical associa-
tion will be admitted to the final try-v
out for this contest, in University Hall,
January 8, on their season tickets.
General admission is 25 cents.
Junior engineers will elect the gen-
eral chairman of the Junior hop, a
result of lots drawn by Don Smith,
,16E, and George McMahon, '16, when
they met with the senate council coi-
mittee on student affairs, yesterday f
ternoon. Other details of organizatioji
were also arranged and will be incor-
porated into a permanent constitution
by the hop committee, and ratified 'by
the senate council committee.
Junior lits and engineers will have
four men, junior laws two, and each o
the other junior classes one man on
the committee. These men will have
to be elected before Thursday, so as to
be able to attend the meeting of the
committee which will be held before
the beginning of the vacation. In cas-
es where it will be impossible to hold
class meetings, appointments by the
class presidents will be peimitted for
this year. Committeemen will be sub-
ject to the eligibility rules for non'
athletic activities.
The scheme of decorations will allow
for booths which will be rented for a
nominal fee, and which will hold not
more than four couples each. They
will be placed about the sides of the
gym, as the booths of former years
were placed.
As a compliment to the -enior ,
