Yesterday's practice marks the be- inning of the indoor grind that lasts ntil the Easter recess, when the )uthern training trip allows the men > get out of doors for the early sea- an contests. An innovation has been .ade this spring in regard to the vaca- on training trip. In. previous years, te Michigan nine has journeyed trough Kentucky, Tennessee and eorgia on the April trip, but owing the difficulty of getting satisfactory ates, Manager Lang has arranged ames with teams along the Atlantic aboard for McQueen's men. Under e new arrangement, it is believed iat the trip will result in greater nefit to the men than the old south- HOLD MORE TRYOUTS NEXT WEEK, "All That Glitters" is the name of this year's Michigan Union opera, which was written by Sylvan S. Gros- ner, '14L. Although the plot of the play has not yet been made known in detail, the settings of the two acts were announced. '"he first act i laid in a New York beauty parlor, and the second is a' scene in Atlantic City. Complete de- tails of the scenic productions will not be made public until later. After the first cast tryouts, the num- ber was cut to about 25. Portions of the play have been sent to those who still remain on the list, and another tryout will be held about Monday of next week. The chorus has also been cut to about 70 men, and a list of those still remaining in the competition is posted at the Union. Another tryout for the chorus will be held .sometime the first of next week. Tryouts for the orchestra will prob- ably be called about the same time. COSMOPOLITANS TO HEAR NOTED TALKERS AT DINNER TOMORROW The indoor training is being con- ducted in accordance with the plans of Coach Fielding H. Yost, who stopped off in Ann Arbor, January 26 and 27, enroute to an alumni banquet in Grand Rapids. While in the city, Coach Yost addressed the likely candidates-65 in number-in the engineering building, and in the course of his talk urged all of the men to work faithfully un- der the direction of Captain-elect Cochran, Captain Raynsford, Hughitt, McHale, James and Bushnell, so that they may be ready to engage in some stiff outdoor practicercommencing April 20, when he will return to start spring practice for a couple of weeks. Assistant Coach Schulz was also in town at the time. He too will be back for the beginning of the spring session, and it is likely that he will remain in full charge after Coach Yost has. left. Royce A. Traphagan, Varsity tackle on the 1913 team, has reentered the university this semester, and may be a candidate for the same position on the team next fall. J f i t t ble. At the time of the election last month, Interscholastic Manager Mil- lard, '16L, was the - only successful candidate not under faculty ban. The difficulties of Treasurer-elect T. Haw- ley Tapping, '16L, which were not of a scholastic nature, have since been settled, and he is now eligible to take office. Phillip Middleditch, '15E, who was elected secretary of the athletic asso- ciation, adjusted his trouble with the faculty immediately following his elec- tion, and is now free to assume his po- sition. The scholastic difficulties of Joseph Fee, '17L, will be finally decided by his marks of the last semester. In case his work was satisfactory, he will take the office of Varsity football manager for next season. Members of the board state that among the first matters to be consider- ed in the board meeting will be a plan to avoid repetition of the eligibility trouble. Before candidates are voted upon in the future their standings will be closely investigated. LE AR DECKS FOR BASKETBALL FOUGHT AS CAPTAIN IN managers. Congressman to Discuss Insufficieicy of Army and Navy at Whitney Theatre WAR his time to the yearlings, in an effort to draw some sort"of a line on the ability of the candidates. The fresh- soph meet will be held Feb. 20 instead of the varsity, as announced. The coach stated yesterday that try- outs would be held in all of the sched- uled events, although the time for these has not been set. The 1918 squad ap- pears particularly formidable in the sprints, and will undoubtedly pit sev- eral men against O'Brien, who may be the sole sophomore representative. Prominent among the freshmen sprint- ers are Davis, Page, Gardner, Scofield, Robinson, Kretzschmar and Carroll. Several freshmen have turned out for the quarter, prominent among whom at the present time are Kruger, Henkle, Hardell, and Good. As yet no startling time has been made by any of the middle distance runners, al- though Darnell, Wolf, Hayes and Shadford have shown promise in the half mile. itn the mile, the1918 squad appears strong-, Dennee, Boumna, Mehan, Gallo- way and Cherry giving signs of possi- ble development. The first year squad should make a favorable showing in event,: especially if any of the "Safety First-How About Our Na- tional Defense?" will be the subject of a lecture by Congressman Augustus P. Gardner, of Massachusetts, Monday evening, March 15th, at the Whitney theater. Mr. Gardner is considered the chief advocate of "national preparea- ness" in the country, and his recent revelations in Congress regarding the I SIR DOUGLAS MAWSON SPEAKS ABOUT ANTARCTIC TRIP SOON Sir Douglas Mawson, the noted lead- er of the Australian Antarctic expedi- tion of 1911-1914, will give his illus- trated lecture "Racing With Death Through Antarctic Blizzards," in Hill' auditorium at 8:00 o'clock Friday night. Sir Douglas arrived in Amer- ica about a month ago, and since then has been lecturing in the principal cities of the east. His lecture has met with an enthusiastic reception, and has been described as one of the most wonderful andtrealistic productions ever shown on the lecture platform. The lantern slides and the motion pictures with which the lecture will be illustrated were taken by an expert photographer who accompanied the expedition. They are considered by all who have seen them to be the best of the kind ever produced. HOCKEY TEAMS RESUME MATCHES errs trip, when some of the hardest games of the year used to be played with little or no out-door practice. MEDIC STUDENTS GiVE FIRST SMOKER IN HISTORY TOMORROW For the first time in the history of the university, students of the Medical School will give a smoker in honor of the faculty at 7:30 o'clock tomorrow night at the Union. Dean Victor C. Vaughan and Prof. C. G. Darling will speak. All class presidents and sev- eral members of the various classes will give short talks. The committee in charge of the af- fair, conposed of N. A. Myll, '15M, H. A. Lichtig, '1IM, G. D. Treadgold, '17M, and P. W. Beaven, '18M, has announc- ed that several stunts of a surprising nature will be presented by students interested in the innovation. Union Forum Will Not Meet This Week - Owing to the fact that the large room at the Union will be taken for both tomorrow and Friday nights, there will be no meeting of the For- um this week. A session will be held next week, however, and the meetings will be held each Thursday until spring vacation. A chairman will be appointed to preside at each one. 3 Michigan cosmopolitans and their guests will gather at their ninth an- nual banquet, at 6:00 o'clock tomorrow evening in Newberry hall. The pro- gram will include talks by men of prominence from all parts of the world. Among the speakers will be Prest- dent-Emeritus James B. Angell, Sir J. Bose, the Hindoo scientist, Prof. M. Anesaki, Japanese exchange professor at Harvard and Dr. John Mez, presi- dent of the International Federation of Students. Tickets for the banquet are $1.00, and may be purchased from Secretary E. S. Sy, '15, Prof. J. A. C. Hildner, or officers of the club. Adelphi Society Elecs New Officers Adelphi elected the following men officers for the comhig semester at a meeting last night: President, Glenn M. Coulter, '15; secretary, Phil D. Hall, '15; treasurer, Wallace Hall, '15; ser- geant-at -arms, R. D. Rood, '17; orator- ical delegate, Joseph R. Cotton, '16. Plans for the annual banquet, to be; held February 19 at the Union were discussed, and the newly elected offi-, cers gave a general outline of the, plans for the year.- Fereshmen Have Gym to Themselves for First Weeks Practice Interclass basketball now takes the stage as foremost among the intra- mural activities in progress, for be- ginning this week comes the opening of Waterman gym for practice, and with this opening about 300 men are expected to take lo p the indoor sport. The gym will be open for practice to freshmen teams for the first week, after which another class will be al- lowed to train its men on the floor. Arrangements have been made where- by the building will be open from 6:00 o'clock in the evening, until the regu- lar hour for closing, thus giving added, length to the time for practice, since formerly the doors have been shut during the dinner hour. Intramural Director Rowe is at present engaged in securing two men to act as coaches to the teams while the practice season is in progress, hoping by this method to raise even higher than last year the class of basketball played in the interclass league. Collect Funds for Starving in Poland Prof. S. J. Zowski, of the engineer- ing department; chairman of the Polish relief committee, announces the re- ceipt of $391.50 in subscriptions, tow- ards the relief of the millions of Poles tarving in Europe. Posters gotten out by the committee, have been placed in Registrar Hall's office, and in several State street stores, and subscriptions or cash for this fund will be accepted in these places. 4 alleged insufficiency of the America navy and military have been com- mented upon widely. Mr. Gardner is a member of the ways and means committee of the House of Representatives, in which he has served in six sessions. After graduat- ing from Harvard in 1886, where he was a classmate of Prof. A. H. Lloyd, of the local faculty, he spent two years in the Massachusetts senate. Later he saw actual fighting as a captain in the Spanish-American war. For many years, Mr. Gardner has been the disciple of national prepared- ness, according to an article by Kend- rick Scofield in the Washington Times, Jan. 14. "Wandering through Europe, he has taken note of foreign fortifica- tions on every trip he has ever made, later comparing his mental pictures of' them with our own, setting us in his mind the United States arny against the forces of Europe; lining our navy and their navies in battle arry against one another, and drawing conclusions as to the outcome of such a combat." "Yet he became the active prophet of preparedness," continues Mr. Scofield, only when the opportunity to preach the doctrine arrived on the wings of a world war, filled with future possible consequences to the United States, for he says the public will never seriously consider the likelihood of war during the piping times of peace." It is expected that Mr. Gardner's local engagement will have unusual in- terest in view of the agitation on the campus for the introduction of military training, and the present ai.ctivity in rifle matches. sophomore milers are placed on the relay team to run against Princeton. In the hurdles, Wickersham, a west- erner has been shoywing fair form, and if Corbin competes in this event, the sophomore will have to step his fast- est, according to the advance dope. Varner, another freshman, has been show ing to advantage in this event. In the weights, Walls and Smith ap- pear to have an advantage from the present indications. Scott, Livings- ton, Hough, and Golden have been pole vaulting, although as far as the soph meet is concerned, "Bo" Wilson should win by a margin ranging between 12 and 24 inches. Michigan's mysterious freshman phe.nom in the high jump seems to have disappeared, and Luther is out- jumping his rivals a trifle at the pres- ent. Coach Farrell stated that it was too early to point out prospects, as no one' has his position on the yearling squad even half cinched. Board Will Cusider All Delinquents Members of the administrative board will meet tonight to pass on the cases of delinquent students. There are no fixed rules by which students are au- tomatically dismissed from - the Col- lege of Literature, Science and the Arts, but -students whose fate is in doubt have been called to Dean John It Eflinger's office for consultation. The administrative board will pass on the cases of such students, and the lit- erary faculty will dismiss the unfor- tunate ones at a meeting to be held to- morrow night. Freshmen May Change Elections Today Freshm-en in the College of Litera- ture, Science and the Arts are making changes in elections each day this week. Upperclassmen may make changes from 8:30 to 5:00. o'clock to- morrow and Friday. After this time, changes in elections may be made only upon the payment of a fee of $1.00, unless the change is necessitated by the action of the faculty.
