A match between the student and the faculty fencing teams is being plan- ned for this week, with the idea of giving 'the men as much practice as possible before the Cornell trip. The faculty match should aid the Varsity men materially in rounding into shape, as the faculty team boasts several ex- ceptionally good fencers. The elimination tournament, which. is to determine the personnel of the team going to Ithaca, is scheduled for the latter part of this week, and should result in several good matches, as com- petition is keen for the three places on the Varsity team. With six or eight evenly matched men out, Michigan is assured a good team against the Cor- nell foil wielders, and close followers. of student fencing look for a victory over the Ithaca team in the coming, match. Captain Mattsson has been coaching the men for the coming meets,although the services of Dr. Fouldes, of Grand itapids, member of the Hungarian Olympic fencing squad, may be secur-, ed later in the season.- DECLRESUNIO0N Iireetor Sauger Says " usi Better Tfilm )Aerage College Production" ' - o'clock tonight at the Whitney theater, a capacity house is e'Xpected to be on hand to witness the production of "Po- mander Walk," the thirty-first annual play of the Comedy club. Everything is in readiness for this second presen- tation of the play, which is said. to eclipse every previous offering ' of Michigan's oldest dramatic organiza- tion, from the ranks of which have come some of the foremost entertain- ers on the professional stage. The play itself is a comedy, depict- ing simple English life of the period around 1805. Arising from the three love strains that run through the play,. are a great number of extremely hum- [orous situations. There is something' of a plot to the play but it is more im- aginary than real, the action and lines tending rather toward the entertain- ment of the audience. In having secured the endorsement of the Ann Arbor center of the Drama league, the club has assured itself of the support of a majority of the most critical theater-goers of Ann Arbor. After last night's final dress rehears- al, Director H. L. Nutting, '15L, and Fdward Sachs, '17, who has had' pro-t fessionalexperience in the same play, expressed themselves as exceedingly well pleased with the manner in which the cast has worked outtthe weakness- es which were apparent in the J--Hop production. Sales of seats will be continued at the Whitney box office today. If nec- essary, the gallery will be thrownt open for the production. JAUNT HALF-M.ILEa 11. '.

This was the cue for the freshmen to, protest that time was called before the goal, and they did it well, the entire period between halves' being devoted to an energetic discussion. Two players, realizing the poor effect of mere words, started a free-for-all. fight, but the conservative element managed to separate the more violent- ly inclined before any damage was done. The last half ended with the score a tie, and both teams agreed to play an extra five minutes. At the end of this time, a second additional period was begun, when Manager Weinberg appeared and put an end to the come- dy. The game will be protested by the upperclassteam tomorrow, and it will be up to Director Rowe to decide the affair.

WORKERS BANQUET AT_ NEWBERRY HALL THIS EVENING To further the work which has been undertaken by the conservation com- mittee of the university Y. M. C. A., which is made up largely of men who were interested in the recent mobiliza- tion campaign, plans for a banquet at Newberry hall at 5:30 o'clock tonight have been made. The Reverend, Charles Gilkey, of the Hyde Park Bap- tist church, of Chicago, will be one of the speakers on the program. Waldo R. Hunt, '16, will also speak. The ban- quet will be under the direction of Floyd Nagler, '15E, and men who are interested either in social service work or Bible study are invited to come. Tickets may be secured at the offices of the Y. M. C. A. "The music is far better than the average college production," said Eu- gene B. Sanger, director of this year's opera, who arrived in Ann Arbor Sun- day. "About 20 per cent of the origi- nal music of the average opera re- mains after cutting," continued San- ger, "but only a few changes will have to be made in the music." A few of the songs will be rewritten, and some slight changes will be made. In company with Sylvan Grosner, '14L, author of the play, Mr. Sanger went over the entire book, and found that fewer changes would be necessi- tated than in last year's play, of which one act was rewritten. Those to whom portions of the play had been given out, rehearsed before the director yesterday afternoon. Mr. Sanger said that the first impression was good, and that the voices were ex- cellent. He was also pleased with the specialties. The final selections. for both cast and chorus are practically picked, and probably will be announced tomorrow. Mr. Sanger left last night for New York city, and will not return for two weeks. Enrollment Figures Pass Last Year's Enrollment figures for the literary college as computed yesterday, show that 126 new students have been en- rolled thus far. This is an increase of 35 over the entire registration by incoming students in the college for the whole of the second semester last year. Coach Farrell ran his candidates for the Varsity track team around Water- man gym yesterday afternoon, mak- ing the men pace out the half mile at an easy jaunt to close the afternoon's work. The early part of the session was devoted to the dashes in which M. G. Robinson, '17E, who has been working out in the distance and mid- dIe distance races, showed unexpected form, although not pitted against the fast men on the track. Corbin spent his early part of the afternoon in working on the high jump, going five feet and a half be- fore leaving the standards for the hur- dies, in which he succeeded in beating in three heats the time of the fresh- man hurdler, Wickersham. Cross worked at the weights alone, making most of his endeavors toward the per- fection of form and guarding against the commission of fouls. Two squads took turns at stretching their limbs in the quarter and half mile. John fell in behind the troup led by Ufer and seemed to handle the longer distance in satisfactory fashion. Cheniss Receive Delicate Instrument One of the most delicate and highly sensitive instruments for the measur- ing of minute distances has been re- ceived by the department of chemistry. This is the cathetometer, which reg- isters to a hair's breadth. After being held up in Alsace for several months, the instrument was finally shipped by. way of Havre, and recently arrived in Ann Arbor. Dean M. E. Cooley welcomed to the university yesterday morning, 43 engi- neers, road commissioners and build- ers, here to take the short course in highway engineering which is being given this week by the university and the state highway department. According to figures ,compiled be- fore the course was started, yester- day's enrollment is only half of what the total will be. Dean Cooley gave the first scheduled talk of the session, when he spoke on, "The Engineer in the Service of the Public." The feature of yesterday's program consisted in the evening lecture, "Highway Engineering Problems," by Thomas H. MacDonald, Iowa state en- gineer. Mr. MacDonald, using illus- trations drawn chiefly from his own state, classified the problems which confront a road engineer into six classes, emphasizing chiefly the main- tenance of roads, and the keeping of accurate records and accounts. The work today is given over to a consideration of Michigan's earth roads. The morning will be occupied with classroom work. In the after- noon those who prefer may take lab- oratory work designed for their bene- fit, and to be given in the highway and bituminous materials laboratories. The other portion of the students will hear two papers, one by Prof. W. C. Hoad of the sanitary engineering de- partment, the other by K. I. Sawyer, of the Michigan state highway depart- ment. " Professor Hoad will talk on, "The Split Log Drag on Earth Roads," at 1:30 o'clock and Mr. Sawyer will talk on, "The Value of a Continuous System of Maintenance for Earth Roads," at 3:00 o'clock. Dean Charles M. Strahan, of the en- gineering department of the Universi- ty of Georgia, will give the lecture at 8:00 o'clock tonight. He has chosen as his topic, "Developing an Earth Road." All of the lectures are given in room 348, new engineering building. Registrations in the course are made. in the headquarters, room 214, new engineering building. Prof. Sadler to Talk at Union Friday "The United States Merchant Mar- ine," is the topic for an address to be given by Prof. Herbert C. Sadler of the marine engineering department, at a banquet of the Adelphi House; of Rep- resentatives to be held at the Union next Friday night. Other speakers for the occasion are: Glen M.'Coulter, '16; Wallace C. Hall, '15; N. E. Pinney, '16; Kenneth W. Heinrich, '16E, and Victor H. Sugar, '16. ENZENLROTH, BASEBALL CAPTAIN IN 1910, ATTENDS CAGE WORK Battery Practice to Continue Until Coach's Return; Will Then Call Fielders "Jack" Enzenroth, Varsity baseball captain in 1910, made his first appear- ance in a uniform at yesterday after- noon's practice in the cage, and the veteran catcher had to be dragged from the floor at the end of an hour's hard work-out, protesting that he was not even warmed up yet. Enzenroth expects to work out regu- larly with the Varsity men for the next week or two, when he will leave to join the training squad of the Kan- sas City Federal league team, with whom he is playing for the second sea- son. Battery practice will continue until some definite word is received from Coach Lundgren, when the general call will be sent out. Capta'n McQueen stated yesterday that the official call would probably be issued on Thurs- day, although it might be delayed, in case the coach failed to arrive by that time. Lowry, '12E,° Killed by Auto Truck While riding a bicycle home from work in a ship-building yard at New- port News, Va., on'Feb. -11, Merrill F. Lowry, '12E, was struck and killed by an automobile truck. At a meeting of the board of dire tors of the athletic association he yesterday afternoon, Boyd Compto '16, was elected to fill the office of Va sity football manager, left vacant t the resignation of Joseph Fee, '17. Fee was chosen for the position at tl election held last month, but becau, of scholastic difficulties, was force to resign. Compton served as assis ant to the football manager last se, son, and was nominated for the mana ership before, the last electlen. A temporary organization of ti newly elected board of directors wa formed at yesterday's meeting. TI permanent organization will be dete mined at a meeting to be held toda The men who left office are Inte: collegiate Manager P. D. Koontz, '16] Treasurer Harry Gault, '15-'17L, Sec retary Adna Johnson, '16L, and Va: sity Football Manager John Leonarc '16L. Taking their places are F. ( Millard, '16L, intercollegiate manage T. Hawley Tapping, '16L, treasure Phillip Middleditch, '15E, secretar: and Boyd Compton, '16, football man ager. Chester Lang, '15, varsity base ball manager, and W. B. Palmer, '1 track manager, hold over from th present board. Before retiring from office, the ol board recommended a change in th election rules, to do away with th possibility of the ele tion of ineli gible men, as occurred at last electior It is probable that one of the first mat ters to be considered by the new boar will be such a change in rule. Of the two assistants chosen at las election, who were ineligible, it is un derstood that one, at least, is now el gible. Ineligibility has made furthe inroads, as a result of last semester reports. Nearly half of the assistani chosen at the last election are no' under faculty ban. What disposition will be made of their cases is n< known.
