The plan was "pre- sented by the directors of the Union Prof. Robert M. Wenley, of the phil- osophy department, and Louis K. Friedman, '15, spoke at a dinner held at the Union last night by the senior lit class. Emmet I. Connely acted as toastmaster. Frank W. Grover, '18, sang, and a piano solo was rendered by James S. Wickwire, '18E. Dean Mortimer E. Cooley, of the en- gineering college, who was also listed as one of the speakers of the evening, was unable to be present on account of being suddenly called out of the city on business.

There has been considerable discussion on the campus recently as to whether or not Varsity baseball players should be al- lowed to compete in summer baseball, and the Forum is expected to bring out the consensus of opinion. During the past few months the summer baseball question has been under consideration by the athletic boards of practically all of the big universities and colleges in the coun- try, and recently a well known sport writer conducted a straw vote among; the presidents of most of the larger in- stitutions of learning, and the results of his canvass were made public in an article which recently appeared in the Saturday Evening Post, The general attitude of those men who replied to the letter favored the abolishing of the sport rather than, allowing the professional element to1 creep into it, but it is also interesting to note that two of the largest eastern universiies came out flatly in favor oft permitting its Varsity baseball men to compete in summer ball. It is ex-, pected that all angles of the question will be discussed by those attending tonight's meeting. Walker Peddicord, '16L, will preside at the meeting. As in the session of last week, informality will be the key-t note, the only rule of procedure being- the one limiting speeches to five min- utes. The first meeting of the Forum last week brought out a constant attend- ance of 50 men, and nearly every marl present expressed himself on the marking system.

The student body has been divided according to schools and colleges, with special rep- resentatives among faculty and alumni men. Mnagers of the club have printed for circulation large numbers of ca,As, which bear the club's pur- poses and benefits. '1e purposes of the organization, as recently drawn up by the men in charge, are; First, to help prevent ac- cidents on the Huron river by means of education in the a of canoes, and in how to act in cases of emergency; second, to promote interest in aquatic sports and third, .a step towards in- terclass rowing and a Varsity crew. Benefits of membership to those who, sign up are enumerated as follows: Free entrance to all events of the an- nual spring regatta; the right to fly the official flag which is obtainable at the Michigan Union; numerous social! events, open to members only, and aiding the growth of one of Michigan's big campus institutions. Definite re- ceipts apd registering of those who enroll is assured, of the payment of one dollar by Unio members or $1.50 by non-Union members. Committeemen in the present cam- paign and officers of the club held a meeting Rt the Union last night, at which the progress of the work was' discussed anda t which committeemen were appointed to assist Harold J. Smith, '16E, who is in charge of the re- gatta to be held on the Huron river in May. Names pf the men appointed are being withheld until all questions of eligibility are settled. at their last meeting. Werner Schroeder, '16L, recording secretary of the Union last year, when interviewed by a Daily reporter, said, "I am heartily in favor of the proposed plan, for it is easier to ad- vertise one election than three, it will prevent duplication of offices and the elections, which under the present plan take up so much time will be dis- posed of at once. The idea has my, unqualified approval." J. S. Leonard, '16L, manager of the 1914 football team, stated that he fa- vored the plan since it would bring out those to the general election who were; interested only in one election. W. D. Cochran, '16P,Ocaptain-elect of the football team, said that he believed that the idea was good. H. L. Smith, '16, captain of the track team, held the same opinion. K. S. Baxter, '15E, said, "4 believe that it is a good thinrg, tor it will bring out more votes." P. D. Koontz, '17L, president of the Union, stated that he favored the plan because it would minimige the time and expense of the elections, and would bring out a more representative vote. "I believe that the proposed plan would be a good thing," said W. S. ' (Continued on Page 4) President of Williams Quilege Wesleyan Guild Lecture n M. E.

These squads will work out twice a week, beginning tomorrow. Last Year's Varsity End Joins Squad, of Catchers; Shows Good Whip in Drill. PRACTICE, G(ives PICK VARSITY TE An ON FRIIY SON " Morrie" Dunne, of the Varsity foot- ball team, made his first appearance in baseball togs yesterday, when he re- ported to try out for the position of catcher. Dunne is well built and seems heavy enough for the position, and showed evidences of a, good wing during yesterday's drill. More- than fifty men tried out for positions under Coach Lundgren yes- terday. Of this number, Bowles, Eag- er, Lambert, Peacock, e"t F usw, Hill, McGraw, Stallings, Dunne, Harshman, Watterhouse and Han-d shaw have signed up as catchers. The pitchers who worked out' num- bered among them Davidoon, McNam- ara, Flynn, Soddy and L. . Stewart, Newell,.Paisley, Maltby ant Dwyer ap- peared among those who are. out. for the position of first base. Te third basemen comprised Fow'yier, Thomas, Whitmarsh, John,4En, Wensher and Leininger. - helly, Baer, Brandell, Rowan~ Smith, Aerntz and Lutz were rhe men on the floor who N re out for the short-stop posi~i~o. The list of men registered as outfielders is made up largely of men who are also trying out for some other position, Of the men who are only enrolled as outfield-. ers the following were on hand: Lev-1 inson, Fwler, H. J. Smith, Taylor and1 Nezinan. Batting practice was agai, post- poned until today. NOT$E DAME MEET TICUKTS TO BE GIVEN AT OFFICES TODAY, Associatioa Members, Not Po4rtnate at First Drawing, May Hvye Another Chance Tickets for the Notre Dame track meet will be reserved today only for those whose athletic book numbers have been drawn, according to Track Manager W. B. Palmer. The athletic association offices will be open from 9:00 o'clock until 5:00 o'clock today to care for those who were fortunate enough to have their particular numbers selected, !ut after that time the few remaini, will be thrown open to any member of the athletic association. Friday afternoon at 3:00 o'clock, any stud-ent presenting his athletic book at the offices, will recei. e one of the pasteboards for Saturd night's M. G. Robinson, Farrell's latest find for his 1915 Varsity, broke the sea- son's record for the 2-lap distance on the Waterman gymnasium track yes- terday afternoon when he raced against time for a mark of 28 2-5 sec- onds. He hung up this reeord as his attempt in the try-outs for the 1000- yard relay team which will compete with the Notre Dame squad'as the fin- al event of the meet program on Sat- urday night. Although several men are still to run their trials before Farrell makes his official announcement of the make-up of his relay team, it is expected that the squad will be made up of Captain Smith, O'Brien, Robinson and Lapsley. The negro runner and John, the quar- ter miler, together with one or two others, have still to run their trials, and the result may mean that Lapsley will lose out. The other three have their places practically clinched. Huntington and Stevens both ran their trials yesterday afternoon, but failed to show anywhere near the Rob- inson class. Both will be entered fog the meet, however, Huntington prob- ably going into the quarter, and Stev- ens the half-mile event. Farrell will not save his relay runners for that race alone, but will enter each one in his particular event. Inasmuch as Smith, O'Brien and Lapsley are his best sprint men, the Wolverine trainer will enter Robinson in either the quar- ter or the half-mile. John will be the: Michigan team's chief reliance in the, 440-yard distance, and, with his team mates, should give the Catholics a hard fight for all three places. The wonderful form shown by Rob- inson, both in the Fresh-Soph meet of Saturday and in the trials yesterday, marks him as one of the most valua- ble acquisitions for the Michigan squad this year. His time yesterday is better than that made by either Kurz, Hughes or Seward in the Cornell-Michigan re- lay race last year, when the Wolver- ines won the event in 1:.53.. The soph- omore crack is equally good in the sprints and the middle distances, and Farrell is now engaged in feeling him out, preparatory to developing his fird in his best event. Preent indications point to the en- tering of from three to five Wolverines in every event on the meet program for Saturday night. The chief strength of the Michigan team will lie in the runs, with points sure in the pole vault, but a matter of doubt in the weight event.

The faculty trio won the match, five bouts to four, Nichols being the nly other student fencer to win a bout. The work of the Varsity candidates was highly satisfactoy, however, and in view of the form displayed by the men yesterday, followers 'of fencing are looking for a close contest when the Michigan tegai meets Cornell at Ithaca on Saturday. The team has not yet been picked for Saturday's match, but the final choice will be made Friday. Three Den, and possibly an alternate, will be taken to Ithaca for the first intercollegiate competition of the year, Captain Matts- son being the only man at present who is sure of a place.
