The coach stated last night that
these trials would not be final, but
that he was holding them merely to
get a line on the ability of the numer-
ous candidates who are battling for
positions on the 1918 squad. The final
tryouts are scheduled to come next
week, although the impression created'
by the various performers this after-
noon may count considerably in the
final determination.
Fisher, a freshman sprinter, was
giving Captain Smith all that he could
desire in the way of competition yes-
terday, nosing out the varsity leader
in the 35-yard dash with a two-yard
handicap on one occasion, and barely
being defeated on the other. Robin-

working out yesterday, although he
may not compete this afternoon. Rob-

yards against time last year at the

The new officers are: President, W. A.1

Tall, strong and heroic looking, more
the viking of old than the modern
scientist, Sir Douglas Mawson made
his appearance in Hill Auditorium last
night, and, before an enthusiastic au-
dience of nearly 4,000 persons, deliv-
ered one of the most realistic illus-
trated lectures ever presented in Ann
Arbor.
SirDouglas was introduced by Prof.
Hobbs, who announced that the ex-
plorer had just received a cable from
London, stating that King George had
bestowed the Polar medal upon Sir
Douglas, one of the most distinctive
honors given to scientists.
In simple and modest language,
which, because of the heroic courage
and sacrifices described, was neverthe-
less thrilling, and held his audience
spellbound, Sir Douglas told the story
of his expedition. Time after time the
explorer was interrupted by enthusias-
tic applause. Mingling humorous anec-
dotes that occurred on the expedition,
with the tragic account of the death of
his companions, he presented a well-1

VETERAN BATTERY CANDIDATES

Stewart Takes Workout for First Time
and Will Try for Field
or First Base
With the appearance of Soddy at
yesterday's baseball practice, Michi-
gan's list of veteran battery candi-;
dates was completed, and everythingl
is now in readiness for the arrival of
Coach Carl Lundgren. Payette, of
Lavans' All-Fresh nine, has not yett
put in an appearance, but the sopho-i
more is expected to come out earlyI
next week.
There was only a light drill yester-
day, many of the men not even don-
ning suits, though several of last
year's freshman aggregation were on
hand to get the kinks out of their mus-
cles before the arrival of the coach.
Captain McQueen paid the cage a fly-
ing visit, though he did not put on a
suit.
Stewart came out for his first work4
yesterday, the 1913 veteran having. so
arranged his work that he will be able
to try for a place on this year's VafI
sity. Stewart held down one of the1
fielding positions on the 1913 nine,s
and is out for either a garden job orl
the first base position this spring. I
"We should not prepare for possible
enemies, but against the possibility
of being drawn into war," said Dr.
John Mez, yesterday, in his final lec-
ture, entitled "The Next Practical
Step-The Conditions of Peace." "Pre-
paredness for war and armaments
does not make a country secure
against war. Sometimes big arma-
ments make victory easier, but in oth-
er cases they distinctly make the sit-
uation of a country more precarious
than it would be without armaments,
because they create fear, distrust and
war scares among other countries,
who unite and form alliances in order
to crush the miltarism they fear.
"Armament increases always react
upon other nations. If the United
States redoubled its navy, the jingoes
and imperialists of Japan would have
a new reason for asking for a larger
navy,-and thus the situation becom-

ELBERT HUBBARD TO ADDRESS
TOMORROW'S UNION GATHERING
Appoint R. Hoffman General Chairman,
and Committee for Next
Two Meetings.
Elbert Hubbard, or Fra Elbertus, as
he is generally known, who is to ad-
dress tomorrow's gathering at the Un-
ion, has been described as a speaker,,
by the Houston Post, as follows: "Mr.
Hubbard does not 'deliver and ad-
dress' or 'preach' He talks; and he
talks delightfully. He never raises
his voice perceptibly to make a point,
but the style gets over in the three-
ibagger manner."
E. D. Slater, '17, E. A. Biber, '17, and
L. 0. Finch, dent spec., have been ap-
pointed to arrange the entertainment
for the next two Sunday Union gath-
erings.
Rudolph Hoffman, '15, has been se-
lected general chairman for the sec-
ond semester to replace Lyle Harris,
'15, who was unable to serve.

of oratory, will give a reading on,
"The Servant in the House," before
the members and prospective mem-
bers of the Graduate club, at 7:30
o'clock tonight, in Barbour gym. Re-
freshments and dancing will follow
the reading.
