For the first time in history, the
women of the university will take an
active part in the program of a con-
cert and vaudeville entertainment pre-
sented by men, when the Girls' Glee
club puts on a special number at the
"Band Bounce," to be given a week
from tonight in Hill auditorium.
The Girls' Glee club, in which there
are 60 voices, under 'the direction of
Miss Nora Crane Hunt, of the school of
music, has been preparing for this
event for more than a month, and Miss
Hunt reports that a pleasant surprise
will be forthcoming when the women
sing their most important number,
"The Barcarolle," from "Tales of Hoff-
man."
Helen Malcomson, '15, president of
the club, said last night, that the girls
would be accompanied by the band or
part of the band, if the idea was found
practicable after rehearsing. So far,
only a piano accompaniment has been
used. This will probably be the last
public appearance of the organization
this year, and is the first since the
"Kermess."
Twenty-five ticket chairmen as-
sembled at the band office yesterday
afternoon, and made the preliminary
arrangements for the ticket commit-
tees. Each chairman will select ten
men to work under him. All tickets
will be given out on Tuesday afternoon
in the band office on the second floor
of the engineering shops building, and
others wishing to work on these com-
inittees should report at this time. The
office will be open all afternoon, but all
who can are urged to come at 4:00
o'clock. A prize of $10.00 is offered to
the man who sells the largest number
of tickets.
Rehearsals of the Varsity band vil
be held at 2:00 o'clock tomorrow after-
noon in University Hall, and the fol-
lowing Wednesday evening at 7:00
o'clock, in the same place.
OPERA CHORUS TRYOUTS HELD
IN AUDITORIUM LAST NIGHT
Announcement of Successful Candi-
dates Will Not be Made Until
Directors Return
For the first time in the history of
Union operas, the chorus tryout for
this year's opera, "All That Glitters,"
was held last night in Hill auditorium.
Earl Moore, had of the organ depart-
ment of the school of music, acted as
judge of the singing ability of the can-
didates.
Another rehearsal of the chorus will
be held at 7:15 o'clock tonight at the
Michigan Union. On account of the
meeting of the Forum in the big hall
last night, the aspirants for chorus
postions were forced to practice in the
auditorium.
Until General Chairman Baxter
hears from Director Sanger, who is
now in New York City, he will not
make any announcement of the list of
successful tryouts.,
Final trials for the Michigan Varsity
quartet which meets Princeton in the
two-mile relay race in Waterman gym
tbmorrow were held yesterday morn-
ing, all trials being run against time.
The morning's work 'resulted in the
selection for the team of Carroll,
Ufer, Donnelly and Fox, *with Grau-
man selected as the alternate.
The order in which the men will run
has not as yet been determined upon
officially, and the time made by the
runners in their trials is not to be an-
nounced. Judging from the past poli-
cy of Trainer Farrell and from the
stuff which the members of the team
have shown so far, Donnelly and Fox
will run first and second, followed by
Carroll and Ufer in third and fourth
places.
Ufer is a miler who won his official
recognition last year in the form of an
"M. A. A.," but this year he has been
showing up well in the half and being
one of the two oldest men on the team
he should, in consideration of his
showing, run last among the four.
Carroll is another miler who has
been handling the shorter distance in
good style. His experience is limited
to work on the All-Fresh track team of
last year and to the medley relay race
at Buffalo this year in which he ran
the half, after training for the mile.
Donnelly is the only half miler on
the team, being one of last year's All-
Fresh track men and their star mid-
dle distance man. He is inexperienced
in Varsity competition, and conse-
quently will probably be given one of
the early places on the team.
The other place on the team was won
by Fox who is a two-miler and cross-
country man, a member of the 1913
All-Fresh, but who is inexperienced in
Varsity competition in the distance he
is running tomorrow night.
The man who will step into a vacant
position should any place be vacated
will be Grauman who is a sophomore
from last year's freshman team, and
whose former event has been the two-
mile. Burby, Fontana and M. G. Rob-
inson also entered the trials held yes-
terday.
Feast Former Members of Directorate
Incoming gembers of the board of
directors of the athletic association
banqueted the outgoing officers last
night as a compliment to the adminis-
tration of the old officials. The former
chairman of the board, P. Duffy
Koontz, acted as toastmaster for the
feast. The hostsaforthe banquet were
Interscholastic' Manager Frank Mil-
lard, Secretary Phillip Middleditch,
Treasurer T. Hawley Tapping and
Football Manager Boyd Compton.
Deutscher Verin to Give Sleigh Ride
Members of the Deutscher Verein
will give their annual sleigh ride dance
at some town near Ann Arbor in two or
three weeks, providing there is snow
on the ground by that time.
New members for the Deutscher
Verein will be voted upon the latter
part of March, and an initiation dance
will be given later.
HARRY A. GARFIELD TO SPEAK
AT METHODIST CHURCH SOON
Son of Former Executive and Presi-
dent of Williams College Will
Follow Brother
Prof. Harry A. Garfield will be the
second of the sons of former President
James A. Garfield, to visit Ann Arbor
this month. Professor Garfield, who is
president of Williams College, will
speak at the Methodist church on Feb-
ruary 28, under tIe auspices of the
Wesleyan guild.
Like his father and brother, James
R. Garfield, ex-Secretary of the' In-
terior, who is to speak at the Wash-
ington's Birthday celebration, Profess-
or Garfield has had a varied political
and public career, Graduating from
Williams College in 1885, he became
actively interested in the practice of
law in Cleveland, . After 18 years of
law practice, he became professor of
politics at Princeton University, in
1903. In 1908, he returned to his Alma
Mater to assume the presidency of the
institution.
While in the city Professor Garfield
will be entertained by Prof. T. C.
Trueblood, of the oratory department
COMEDY CLUB 'MAY
APPEA NCE MORE
Requests From Local Play-Goers Cause
Officers to Consider Third
Performance
GAIN PRAISE OF PROFESSIONALS
Officers of the Comedy club are put-
ting their heads together in order to.
decide whether a third performance of
"Pomander Walk" will be given this
spring, and thereby comply with the
numerous requests from students and
faculty men that the-local play-goers'
be given another opportunity to wit-
ness the production. If presented
again, the play will probably be pre-
sented on March 3, although the execu-
tive committee will decide the matter
definitely at its next meeting.
According to all precedents, Tues-
day night's peornance would be the
last appearance -of the play in this city,
but the small attendance recorded at
the last two productions and the press-
ing demand for a thirdappearancemay
throw the balance in favor of another
show. The executive committee, how-
ever, is unwilling to favor the proposi-
tion unless the demand continues.
Norman Hackett, '98, after witness-
ing the J-Hop performance of "Po-
mander Walk," went on record as say-
ing that it was the best performance
the Comedy club has ever given. Fran-
cis Millen, of New York, who viewed
the same production expressed the fol-
lowing sentiments: "In the old days
they thought they had good shows, but
I have never seen better work on the
amateur stage." Those who are push-
ing the project for a third performance
are backing up their claims with these
statements.
The Chicago trip of the club is still
pending, so that no definite word has
been given out as to the chances for
going to that city, .Offers have been
received from Flint and Saginaw, but
whether or not they will be accepted
is a question. There is a possibility of
the club's staging a performance in
Detroit, although the matter is veiled
with uncertainty.
This year's profits of the club will be
used in the purchase of a dramatic
library for the use of members of the
club and its patrons and patronesses.
Where the library is to be stationed
has not yet been decided.

M r.. Pond is a resident of Ann Arbor,
a nd was born in the house just to the

t iusiness is inChicago, where die is con-
i :ect~ed kwith the largest architectural

famous Hull^House.
Princeton track team arrives in Ann
Arbor, a former haunt of his, at 8:12,
o'clock Saturday morning, bringing
with him a quartet of runners with
which he hopes to accomplish the
downfall. of the relay team which
Trainer Farrell has picked for the two
mile relay scheduled for Saturday ev-
ening.
But the coming of the Tigers is nei-
ther here nor there. The advent of
the Princeton relay team is another
story. What causes many an old
Michigan track enthusiast a thrill is
that Keene Fitzpatrick will again pre-
side over a track team in Waterman
gymnasium. It is the remarkable rec-
ord of service which Keen Fitzpatrick
has established at Michigan that has
endeared him 'in the heart of every
loyal supporter of the Maize and Blue.
the veteran Michigan track coach-now
presides comes from Princeton instead
of Ann Arbor? For 15 years that peer
of American track coaches directed the,
activities of the Michigan track team,
a record. up to the present time un-
equaled by any mentor of athletics at
the University of Michigan.
From 1894 to 1910, wIth the excep-
tion of the years 1897 and 1898, Fitz-
patrick was responsible for the success
of the Michigan track athletes. It is,
because he was so loyal to the uini-
versity during his stay here, so tireless
in his efforts to produce winning
teams, and so amiably disposed that he
ndeared himself to every student; it is
because of these things that every
Michigan man will be glad to see the
dean of track coaches again in his old
haunts.
