BRYANT SPEAKS, Af Campus at This ON SUBJECT INTRAMURAL DIRECTOR ROWE PLANS "MOTLEY" RELAY RACE Noiel Scheme Will Have Racers Carry' Colors of Different Sororities As a result of his recent trip to the larger colleges of the west, Intramur- al Director Rowe has secured an idea for a novel athletic event to be staged at Michigan. The proposed plan calls for a "motley" relay race. Teams of five men each will be selected, and the men will run one lap, two laps, four laps, eight laps and a mile, according to their respective qualifications. The laps may be run in any order by the different teams, thus securing the' "motley" effect. The most novel part of the affair will be in the manner of the selection of teams. According to the scheme favored by Director Rowe,and which has proven popular at Illinois and Wisconsin universities, each team will run for a sorority. At these schools, each sorority chooses a fraternity to represent them in the relay carnival. Director Rowe expects to modify the plan here, so that each sorority will choose a man to represent them, and this man will choose the other four' members of his team. In this way it is hoped to stimulate interest among men of track ability who ordinarily do not work out. Members of the Varsity squad will be ineligible for the com- petition, but the men who show well in the "motley" race will be urged to' report for training. Although the plan is somewhat in- definite now, Director Rowe expects to get in touch with sorority representa- tives, and explain to them the manner+ in which the event is carried on in other schools, where it forms one of the leading athletic attractions of the year. As soon as the support of the sororities is assured, definite plans will be formed. Prof. GramnRecovering From Operation In a letter just received by Mr. J. H. Bringhurst from Prof. L. M. Gram, who has been recovering from an oper- ation in Rochester, Minn., the profes- sor states that he hopes to be able to start for home this week. Professor Gram has been ill since last July, and has undergone several operations in that time. His life was despaired ofa several times.7 TRACK CANDIDA1TES IBEGIN HARD WORK Strenuous Workouts and Races Against Time Will Be Future Program QUARTERMILERS APPEAR STRONG RIFLE ENTHUSIASTS TURN OUT AT CLUB MEETING LAST NIGHT Speeches on Marksmanship Delivcred By Army Officers and Prof. Finch About 70 rifle enthusiasts turned out for the meeting of the Rifle club which was held in room 311 of the new engi- neering building last night.

Wilson, who has recently been raised from the rank of lieutenant, illustrated the necessity of care' in the use of guns, with personal experiences. Prof. R. R. Finch closed the program of the evenin.; with a talk -on range deport- ment. In his report, *Secretary Rowe an- nounced that class teams would be formed from the men who failed to make the Varsity ten, which will be a more or less indefinite team, varying according to the form in ,which mem- bers of the club shoot.

MAJESTIC MEETING For the regular Sunday evening meeting of the Y. M. C. A. to be held at the Majestic theater, Dr. Ozora S. Davis, head of the Chicago Theologi- cal seminary has been secured as the speaker. In addition to enjoying an enviable reputation as an exceedingly forceful speaker, Dr. Davis has become well known through his work in the slums of Chicago. He possesses a rep-1 utat~ion for his prowess in sports of various kinds. His talk will be pre- ceded by 'a short program of moving pictures. in official positions in the United States' who are already advocating similar sys- tems for this country. The matter has been attracting attention in several parts of the country, and many univer- sities have passed resolutions against militarism. The last to take this step was the University of Columbia, which passed resolutions condemning such a thorough military system, and which has requested the University of Mich- igan to do the same. It has been thought by those in charge that the matter should be brought up while Mr. Albert'G. Bryant, of Boston, organizing secretary of the World's Peace Foundation, is the guest of the university. He will pre- side at the Peace Contest tonight, and while the votes are being counted will address the audience on the subject of militarism. He is considered an authority on the subject of interna- tional relations. When interviewed on the subject, several men expressed themselves as against militarism. Prof. Thomas E.. Trueblood, of the oratory department, said, "If you arm every man in Ann Arbor, something is bound to happen. We in this country certainly do not want to adopt such an extensive sys- tem of military preparation." Preceding the Peace Contest, Mr. Bryant will be entertained at dinner by the members of the Cosmopolitan club,, at Newberry hall. Tickets for the Peace. Contest will be on sale at the box office of Univer- sity hall at 7:00 o'clock. Members of the Oratorical association will be ad- mitted on the season tickets, and oth- ers may be admitted for 25 cents. Sea- son tickets for the remainder of the course will also be on sale. You May Not Believe It, But--- CHICAGO, ILL.-Just as a sort of midweek pastime, Clara Pause, a freshman at the University of Illinois, swam around among the cakes of ice in Lake Michigan on Christmas morn- ing. Declaring to the crowd of shiver- ing onlookers at Wilson Beach that the "water was fine," she imitated Eli- za, mounting cakes of ice and jump- ing from one to another. While doc- tors and undertakers watched from the depths of their heavy coats, the hardy swimmer remained in the water for several minutes. At the close of her mild sport the young lady departed leisurely for the' bathhouse, and today shows a few scratches as the only ill effects of her swim. Miss Pause swam daily up to1 December 19 last 'year, and regrets that her attendance at the university, prevents her from indulging in daily "dips" this year.

Professor MacNeal wrote with the intention of making a text book of microbiology for practicing physicians and students of medicine. MICHIGAN SYSTEM BEST IN ATHLETICS Intramural Competition Developed By Director Rowe Is Superior of Any College Ii Country MANAGER INVESTIGATES PLANS USED BY OTHER INSTITUTIONS Reports Scheme in Vogue Here Offers Opportunity to Most Students Michigan has the best system of in- tramural athletics in the country, ac- cording to Director Floyd A. Rowe, who recently returned from a two weeks' tour of the larger colleges of the west. Last season Director Rowe made a similar trip to the leading uni- versities of the east, and found that Michigan was ahead of any university in the number of men taking part in athletics, the number of sports offered and the general results. On his recent trip, Director Rowe visited Chicago, Wisconsin, Northwest- egn, Indiana, Iowa, Illinois, Iowa State, Purdue and Missouri, the list includ- ing all of the conference colleges ex- cept Minnesota. Of this number, only three had half the number of men en- gaged in actual competition that Mich- igan boasts. Illinois, Wisconsin and Ohio State all claim nearly 1,000 stu- dents competing in the interclass sports. The total at Michigan last year was 2,058, including duplications, or in the neighborhood of 1,500 individual students. In the number of sports offered for competition,'Michigan is far in advance of any of the other western colleges, with a total of 13. Illinois and Wis- consin offer six; Ohio State, five; Iowa and Northwestern, four; Chicago, three and Purdue, two. Minnesota and Indiana have made practically no prog- ress in the development of an inter- class system. In addition to offering more sports than other colleges, Michigan generally has 15 or 20 class teams enrolled, in the major sports, while only five or six teams compete at the other insti- tutions. Michigan is the only college in the country which eniploys a director for class athletics alone. This year Di- rector Rowe had two paid assistants, and next year plans to have five. As a result of his trip, Director Rowe secured several ideas for enlarg- ing the intramural system at Michigan. The main obstacle to further advance- ment is the inadequate gymnasium. Waterman gym is inferior to the in- door plants of any of the large uni- versities of the country, and is a for- midable handicap in the development of any aquatic sport and of most of the indoor sports. MID-WEST DEBATING TRYOUTS SET FOR TOMORROW MORNING Must Present Well Organized Brief and May Talk Only Eight Minutes Preliminary tryouts for the mid-west debating team will be held at 9:00 o'clock tomorrow morning in Univer- sity hall, room 301, north wing. The squad will tryout under the new sys- tem, which will be used then for the first time. The 'men must present a well or- ganized brief on either side of the question and will be ' allowed eight minutes to deliver their argument. For the present, candidates will speak al- phabetically before the committee pri- vately. Six speakers will be elimin- ated in this first tryout. The question to be debated reads as follows: "Resolved, that in anti- trust legislation, labor unions should be exempt from construction as com- binations in restraint of trade, consti- tutionality waived." PLAY E COND ROUND OF UNION BRIDGE TOURNAMENT TONIGHT Bridge players in the Union tourna- ment will assemble at 7:00 o'clock to- night for the second round of play.

FORMER NURSE SUES BOARD OF REGENTS 'AND SUPERINTENDENT Mary Bancroft Makes Serious Charges Concerning Her Treatment in Hospital Suit for $30,000 was instituted Tues- day morning in the circuit court by Mary Bancroft, formerly of the nurses' training school, against the board of regents of the university and Genevieve Read, superintendent of the nurses at the homeopathic hospital. It is alleged by Miss Bancroft that, due to infection contracted in washing a diseased child during her attendance at the hospital, she was forced to spend two months in a Detroit hospital, where her left arm was operated upon. Miss Read failed, she says, to instruct her to wear rubber gloves during the washing. Other charges of a serious nature are enumerated in the com- plaint.
